of Balloon Trip
WEN TALK OVER TROUBLES
Washington, Jan. 13. A naval
board of Inquiry will be named
to investigate all circumstances
surrounding tho flight of the navy bal
loonist, Lieutenants Kloor. Farrell and
Illnton, to definitely establish respon
sibility for the action and speech of the
naval aviators from tlio date of their
departure from the Far Ilockaway
naval station until they reached chll
itatlon, Secretary of the Navy Daniels
announced late yesterday.
Tho court of Inquiry will be named
either by tho commandant of the Far
Itockawey station, to which the bal
looniats were attached, or as tho per
gonal action of the nival secretary, Mr.
Daniels said, adding that nn official
clarification of the ntmosphcro was de
nlrable. not only In justice to the fliers,
but to ascertain If raval traditions wore
Ylolated.
Secretary Daniels indicated that the
nnval court would be expected to go
thoroughly into nil nng'es of the env',
with n view to clearing up all disputes
between the airmen, as well as to es
tablish complete justification for the
flight terminating ns It did, The naval
court will be authorized to consider any
complaint which Lieutenant Fnrrcll
might desire to advance against Lieu
tenant Illnton growing out of the lot
tcr'H letter to his wife, which reflected
on Forfeit's courage, and specific direc
tions will be given the court to ascer
tain if the airmen sought to profit by
their experience through the publication
of their stories.
Matt Ice, Ont., Jan. 13. Lieutenants
Stephen A. Fnrrcll and Walter Illn
ton, who, on their arrival hero from
Moose Factory, came to blows over the
truth or propriety of n letter which
Illnton wrote to his wife in New York
hfwhlcli Illnton pictured his fellow air
man as begging to be slain to aid his
comrades, yesterday smoked. the pipe of
peace.
Americans here cited tho fact
that none of the three airmen was
graduated from the Naval Academy.

In the ltescrvo Force, Aviation Section.
Lieutenant Illnton enlisted in the navy
three years ago and has the temporary
rank of lieutenant. Lieutenant Farrell
enlisted seventeen years ago and has
the temporary rank of lieutenant, his
permanent rank being chief gunner.
Sitting side by side in a private
car placed at their disposal by the Cana
dian Government. Illnton and Farrell
jointly declared that nothing which had
occurred would "lessen the nffection"
they felt for each other, "referred to one
nnother as good old pal," nud author
ized n statement prepared by their
commander. Lieutenant L. A. Kloor,
Jr., as follows:
"In regard to the controversy between
the two passengers who accompanied
me ou the flight of balloon A-G508,
Lieutenants Stephen A. Farrell and
Walter A. Hinton, I wish to f-nke it
definitely clear that this controversy
was entirely and In every respect the
outcome of overwrought minds brought
on by the hnrdships and gruelling
struggles that had to be endured on the
trip over the trail from Matticc.
"On several occasions during the trip,
after a long and tiresome walk, at times
one or two of us would become grouchy
and at the slightest irritation would
make a fuss. These quarrels were only
on tne spur ot tne momeni and lem-
norary disagreements. Almost as quickly
as they would start they would end, and
all hands were ns usual the best and
strongest of friends.
"I also wish to state that at com
mander of the balloon which I flew
to Moose Factory, I had perfect liberty
to select any of the officers at the sta
tion I wished to accompany me on the
lion i wihucii to uci-uiuimuy me on me
trio and nuiuonzaiion woum ce maao
by my commanding officer. In picking
my passengers. Lieutenants Farrell ,
and Hinton, I selected them because
they were two of my wannest friends
and were themselves the warmest of i
friends.
Were Best of FrieiiiLs
"During the trip the three of us '
have been the best of friends and hove
sacrificed for each other mutually and
without partiality and have fought this
battle out as one composite group of
Bhipmatcs anu, in accordance with the
traditions of the L'nlted States Navv.
did all we could to uphold our dignity
and its dignity and will ever be brothers
and the best of friends. Such petty
quarrels as have occurred will not les
sen our nfTeetinn for one another.
"We have threshed out the whole
matter among us." said Lieutenant
Farrell, "and have decided that it is to
be a closed book So far as I nin con
cerned I am sorry for what took place
yesierua. i temporarily lost control
of myself, simplj because I wa tired
out through loss of sleep, nnd with my
impulsive nature I started in to
settle a grievance after the fnshion of
the old navy das. Hut it is all over
now, I have no hard feelings, and I
believe what is said by my old pal,"
Farrcll brought his hand down upon
Hinton's shoulder, and Hinton whose
jaw still showed the effect of Furrell's
punch, seemed plainly pleased.
Not Intended for Publication
"I want to say," broke in Lieuten
ant Hinton, "that that letter which I
wrote m wife uus never intended for
publication, in fact I wrote upon it
that it was not to be published, just
as all of in had nrreed. I am sorrv
that It was published, but us Steve

with his list, was wounded at 4 o'clock
this morning in saving from a highway
man a wnteh his mother had given to
him.
O'Donnell was hurrying along Alle
gheny avenue this morning, when n
ninn, apparently his own size and age,
stepped from Jasper street and ap
proached him.
"Can you give a fellow n quarter?
I'm hungry," the ninn said.
O'Donncl produced n quarter and
handed it to the stranger, who threw It
in the street, and with nn oath, snarled,
"Now give mo everything you vc got."
The robber pressed the muzzle of a ro
olver against O'Donnell's side.
"All right," said O'Donnell, "you
may have mj money, but I won't give
jou my watch. It was given to me by
iny mother mid I ulm to keep it."
"No arguments from you," the high
wayman commanded, makiilg a grab
for O'Donnell's watch.
O'Donnell struck his ussailant on the
jaw. The robber fell back and fired
three times. One bullet passed through
O'Donnell's left leg. The robber lied
without loot.
The wounded man, still holding the
watch, was taken to the Episcopal Hos
pital. Tho highwayman he struck last
November tied without stopping to
shoot.

LIM'RICK NO. 22 SHOWS FANS
WHA T MAKES GOOD LAST LINE
Hcppc Jury Requires Three
Ballots and Thorough
Discussion of Principles
of Limerick Writing
Miss Dorothy Gerson Fin
ally Wins After Most
Careful Consideration of
Many Good Competing
Lines
The llmpln' llm'rlck award announced
today was made by n mixed jury oi
employes of C. J. Hcppe & Son, 1117
Chestnut street. A photograph of llicm
will bo found on tlio back page.
Tomorrow wo will nnnounro the
award made by the Jury picked from the
audience of the Orpheum Theatre, Ccr
manfown, on Wednesday night.
That young lady In Wayne who
couldn't keep nway from the movies
certainly did stir you fans up. And, In
turn, you euro tied the Lim'rick Editor
in knots.
We never had such a tangle to un
tangle. Ninety-nine out of every hun
dred fans sent In last lines composed
nlmost entirely of puns on the names
of well-known movie nctorincs nnd such
a job ns wo had to decide among 'cm !
iTotmrjiy tne story ot our struggles
nnd the bnls on which wo came to our
conclusions will give the fans a lot of
information that will help them in fu
ture contests. So here goes:
First, of course, we eliminated those
which had incorrect rhyme nnd rhythm.
Many fans tried to make "Wayne" nnd
"refrain" rhyme with "game." '
"dame," "blame and other words with
"m" in them instead of "n." Obviously
that 1 wrong.
Then others nnd it is well to bring
out this point made their last line
rhyme with the third nnd fourth lines
of tho verse. This is always wrong.
The last line must rhyme with tbe
first and second.
More than half of the answers were
thrown out immediately because they
contained too many syllables. The last
line must have the same number of
"feet" as the first and second. The
tendency of most contestants seems to
be to ninkc the line too long to crowd
too many syllables Into it. Others make
It too short.
See that your last line hns the same
swing, or rhythm, as the first and sec
After this, there la nnother test to
apply to a limerick. Does it read with
a good, free swing?
To make this test, read your line
alond. If you find it hard to pro
nounce if your puns give you a lot pf
tongue twisters that make you halt in
reading it it is probnbly not a good
limerick line.
Must Carry Out Idea
A very important consideration is,
"Does tho last line carry out the Idea
of the first four?" It wns on this
consideration that tho Hcppc judges,
on the third ballot, made today 8
award. The winner wns:
MISS DOKOTHV G. GERSON,
34111 Kaco street,
Teacher; Sartaln School
Miss Gerson'fl Hue contained two
very clever puns, but so did several
other lines. The final test was as to
how well the lines carry out the Idea
laid down in the first four lines and
on this Miss Gerson won. Her com
pleted limerick wns:

Who from movies can never retrain;

Now, In order to make these distinc
tions perfectly clear, we'll print the
other lines submitted to the jury, num
ber them nnd tell you just how the
voting went. Miss Gerson s line, ou
tho ballot, was No. 0. The others

Mawr.
These eleven lines wero picked out
by us ns being the most rcpresentatUe
nmong all those sent in. In making our
choice, we try to get each thought or
idea at least one chance on the bullot.
For instance, several contestants used
tho genernl idea of No. 2 tho word
cinema" used ns a pun on '.sin her
ma " We went over all of these care
fully until wc had eliminated all but
this one nnd
It's a cinema, (sin her ma) can't
mako her stay in Winifred M. Lang
don. 2017 Poplar street.
Finally, between these two, we gave
the preference to No. 2 bemuse it con
tained the added pun "reel." Inci
dentally, wc hated to exclude Miss
Langdon, because wc remembered her
nn one of the lurv of girls at the S. S.
White Dental Manufacturing Co. who
decided one oi our iimericKs tor us,
and anybody who wants to know what
we think of these girls has onl to look
linnk In the files of this nnner or watch
us walk slowly past there in the evening
hoping to see one of 'em come, out.
It is In tills same way thnt wo try to
find ono representative of each sep
arate thought, so if jou fans see, among
the ten or more submitted to the jury, a
line almost exactlj like one you sent In,
don't think you nre being overlooked
because yours is not there. This ex
plains it.
The same thing happened with No. 1.
A number of fans used this genernl
Idea. Finally, we narrowed It down to
this one nnd
May her Sweet Lyltcl Hart llara

These two lines wiro analyzed. The
doctors would not be likely to wish any
harm to her little heart, whereas (if
