® 18 FIFTEEN BALLOONS * TAKE OF IN RACE Eight Countries Represented -in Gordon Bennett Cup Con- i test Starting in Detroit. { WHITEMORE, Ohio, September 10 { UP.—~Two balloons passed over here| {five minutes apart at 8:30 p.m., travel- ;ing In southeasterly direction. Whit- , more is about 65 miles from Detroit. SANDUSKY, Ohio, September 10 (P).—Three balloons passed over| : Catawba Island, in Lake Erle, early -tonight. The bags were drifting in a .southerly direction. Catawba Island iis about 16 miles north of Sandusky. By the Associated Press, DETROIT, September 10.—Bearing { the colors of eight nations, 15 huge silken gas bags flew from the Ford airport and headed in the general i direction of the Atlantic as the begin- ning of competition for the Gordon ; Bennett trophy in the sixteenth inter- ; national on race. : Each of the crews was determined i to remain aloft until the furtherest i possible distance from the starting ; pointhad been reached. ¢ The race may last as long as three i days, according to statements from | the balloon pilots before they cast off | ballast and took the skies. The pilots went aloft prepared to brave rain and wind, and most of the balloons were equipped with rubber boats in case they should be forced down over ! water. Spaniards Off First. Promptly at 4 o'clock, Maj. Enrique Maldanado, and his aide, Maj. Benito Molas, threw off the ropes holding | their huge bags, the Hispania, and ! yose into a cloudy, overhanging skv. i A few minutes later and the balloon ! was out of sight in the clouds. The i other 14 entries followed at 5 minute intervals. ! The bags all followed a course di- irectly east of Detroit, although it ‘avas believed they might be swept in a southerly direction before morning. C. G. Andreus, weather forecaster for the flight, announced at the start that, in all probability, the balloons would be seen over western New York and Pennsylvania in the morn- ing. An early report that several balloons had been sighted near San- dusky, Ohio. however, led him to be- leve that the bags may have been swept into the path of a north wind, which would blow them through Ohio and into Virginia. Winds Are Variable. ‘Winds were variable at the start of the race, and weather reports pre- sented such uncertain wind charts that it was belleved the race this year would be almost entirely one of pilots’ ekill in seeking “blindly” for the best wind current. The wind current shortly after ‘the take-off averaged 16 miles per hour. There will be no official report from the balloons until they land. The winner of the race will be the pilot who reaches the greatest distance from the starting point. Maurice Biename, who holds the record for distance in the interna- tional event, 1,334 miles, was entered under the French flag in this year's race. France; Spain, Belgium, Ger- many, Italy, Switzerland, England and the United States are the other entries. The contestants, and the order in AMERICAN ENTRANTS IN BALLOON RACE. W. 0.

Before the first bag threw off bal- last, 18 planes from Selfridge Field. Mt. Clemens, under the command of Maj. Thomas G. Lanphier, comman- dant, flew over the field to entertain the crowd. As the United States Army, a United States entry, took off, the planes dipped in salute. The pilots of the balloon just a short time before had received the good luck wishes of Maj. Gen. Mason M. Patrick, former chief of the Army air service. As the balloons took to the air, a band played the national anthem of the country each represented. Experts: in the lighter-than-air craft field declared that the inflation of the balloons set a record. Inflation was begun shortly before 4 a.m. and by mnoon the work practically had been completed.

Ghadiali Fails to Surrender to Be- gin Serving Term. ATLANTA, Ga., September 10 (P). The arrest of Dinshah P. Ghadiali, Hindu metaphysician of Malaga, N. J., has been ordered by the Depart- ment of Justice, following his failure to surrender at the Federal Peniten tiary here to begin sérving a term for violating the Mann act, it became known today. Convicted in Portland, Oreg.. of a charge of having trans- ported a girl from that State to New Jersey, he was sentenced to five years' imprisonment and fined $5,000, but he had been at liberty under heavy bond pending expiration of a second respite granted him by the President. This respite expired last Tuesday at midnight, before which time he was to have given himself up to begin the prison sentence. The United States marshal here sent commitment papers for Ghadi- ali’s apprehension to the marshal at Trenton, N. J., today on instructions from Washington.

This is the announcement of officials | of the dep: fine arts to which was intrusted reali- zation of the project. ¥ nsive excavations have been carried out in the forums of Augus- tus, Trajan and Nerva, the Theater of Marcellus and the Mausoleum of Au- gustus.

The gradual emergence of did remains of “Roman R a coating of debris sometimes 50 feet deep collected during 2,000 vears of neglect, has been accompanied by the destruction of many streets and scores of houses constructed in more recent times, constituting the most squalid sections of the city. Digging into the forum of Augus- tus, which now is entirely free of en- cumberances, produced the basement of the Marte Vendicatore Temple, parts of two triumphal arches, part of a 50-foot colossal statue, rooms splendidly’ decorated in marble, and a medieval castle, as well as innumer- able fragments of mosaics and statues, Similar finds were made at Nerva and Trajan forums, where excavations are continuing. Difficulties have been overcomse in probing into the Augustan mausoleum which lies under Rome's principal con- cert hall, thereby necessitating the re. striction’ of archeologleal activities to Summer seasons when there are no concerts. a estoring Old Theater.

Coliseum. A large section of the old Ghetto, full of tangled, narrow streets, which has been one of the eye-sores of modern Rome, has been torn down during the past year in order to re- lease the mangnificient playhouse built by Caesar and Augustus. In a liabyrinth, reeking with pud- dles, have been found several well preserved Roman remalns, such as a portico of the well of Octavus and a number of early medieval houses, which will be left standing. Thousands of tons of debris have been removed from the theater, permit- ting entrance to several carefully con- structed galleries as far as the stage. The task of digging out the theater is particularly difficult because of the de- sire not to endanger the Savelli- Orsini Palace which was constructed upon it in the early part of the fif- teenth century and which is too rich in _artistic treasurers to be destroyed. ‘Work next year will be conducted on the Circus Maxims, the Forum of Olitorium and the ancient Curia, one of the finest buildings in the neighbor- hood of the Roman Forum. .

Joe Shugart, 9-year-old newsboy, of 1210 Sixth street southwest, stopped peddling his wares for a few minutes last night to sit on the curbing at Ninth and F streets. He was struck by a passing delivery truck and thrown against the front right wheel which grazed his head. Policeman H. D. Larey of the Traffic Bureau picked up the young- ster and carried him, fighting and kicking, to the Emergency Hoepital in a taxicab. Joe, who is read-head. ed, didn’t want to go to the hospital, but the policeman wiped the blood from his forehead and finally coaxed him into the emergency room. Morris Grotsky, 1330 Sixteenth street, driver of the car, will be given a hearing in Police Court tomorrow morning.
