WIRELESS IS SILENT
Unable to Get In Touch With
Aviatorsof Wellman's Airship.
Just Before Sailing on Saturday the
America's Crew Decided That If the
Ocean Voyage to Europe Vv'as Im
practicable They Wculd Imrediate
ly Return to Atlantic City All the
High Power Wireless Stations Work
ing Strenuously to Get In Touch
With the America.
Atlantic City. N. J., Oct, 18. As
sured that Walter Wellman and his
crew aboard the airship America, be
lieved to be at least a thousand mllea
from this city, will deckle today
whether lo siart the dash toward Eu
rope, or to return to this city, family
and friends of the men on board
and managers of the expedition are
awaiting what they expect to be the
most important messages to be re
ceived from the America before her
final success or fate Is decided.
Gathered together at the Hotel Chal
fonte, Mrs. Wellman, her daughters,
Mrs. Vaniman, wife of the chief en
gineer of th expedition; Joseph W.
Snlus, president of the loc.il syndi
cate which backed Wellman; A. T.
Hell, secretary of the ct.mpanv; Har
ly B. Cook of the Seadside, its treas
urer, and a dozen partisans of Well
man await hour by hour the expected
wireless flash that will tell of tho
decision.
Waiting Anxiously For Word.
Not a word has yet been received,
but the anxious watchers believe that
something will be heard from tho
America in a few hours.
Definite information concerning the
course, policy and probable action of
Ihe America's crew, decided upon
within a half hotir before thr America
sailed on Saturday morning, was giv
en out for the first time last night.
"Mr. Wellman and nis men will re
turn to this city the moment they
decide that the ocean voyage Is Im
practicable," declared Leroy Cham
berlain, son-in-law of the leader of tho
oxpedition and Mr. Wellman's secretary-manager.
"So fer as we decide bv
study of the maps and charts which
we have, the America hns reached the
point where It can be definitely de
cided whether there is a chance to
reach Europe.
"It is almost safe to say that this
decision is being reached now, or will
he reached within the next few
hour? by 'he men aboard the America.
"We will, of course, have no means
of knowing what the decision Is until
we hear something from the America,
but we have the greatest faith that
Mr. Wellman and his men will attempt
the desperate air trip to Europe.''
According to Mr. Chamberlain, the
latest reports from the America sup
port the belief that the big balloon
and Its crew Is following the exact
course laid out. by Mr. Wellman and
Engineer Vaniman days before the
final departure was decided upon.
"Unless something has happened to
the America, or we hear of a change
in the plans within the next few hours,
we will be almost able to follow tho
theoretical course of the balloon by
r-ay and night," said Chamberlain. "At
nightfall of today, I believe that the
America Is off St. Fierrc, Newfound
land,, and had turned towards the east,
almost directlv in the transatlantic
steamship lane.
"Wo have no means of verifying
this, as yet. but are confident that
some wireless message showing our
calculations to be correct will reach
nome wireless point in the country
soon."
Nothing since the Ma riling news of
Sunday morning that Wellman and
his men had really left the city has
created such a sensation as the an
nouncement that the final dash for
Europe would probably be decided
upon. .
Hotel guests and cottagers, who are
becoming widely excited over the pos
sibility of tho Wellman crew really un
dertaking tho 3.000 mile ocean flight,
are demanding tho latest bulletins
from newspaper and telegraph offices.
Trying to Get Into Communication.
"Bob" Miller, local wireless oper
ators, who for two days was the sole
connecting link nf Information be
tween the America and U i anxious
watchers on shore. Is still attempting
to get Into communication with the
balloon crew. He has sptXtm lo at
least a score of vessels, but has been
unable to secure even the slightest
message concerning the America.
"I have asked the highest power
Htallons to attempt to speak to the
America," ho said last night. "If
there Is any chance of getting word
from them we will do it. Whilo It Is
extremely difficult to segregate the
weak messages which are pronably
being sent out by the crew through
the light, plant of the Ameiica. we
hope to hear tnmething that will re
lieve the anxiety of Mrs, Wellman
and the other women before nuiniln:;."

SENATOR DOLLIVER DEAD
Dilation of the Heart Caused Iowa
Statesman's Sudden Demise.
Jonathan Prentiss, Dolliver, United
States senator, died of dilation of the
heart, caused by an attack of acute
indigestion, at his home in Fort Dodge,
Iowa, Saturday night, while being rub
bed by an osteopath physician.
Senator Dolliver's death was unex
pected by his relatives and ch.se
friends, who thought that he had al
most entirely recovered from the at
tack of Indigestion with which he had
been suffering for a week.
Senator Dolliver had been up all
day and had made a trip downtown.
He told several of the men whom he
met that he believed that he had com
pletely recovered from the indisposi
tion which followed his trio through
Wisconsin on a speechmaklng tour
for Senator I .a Follette.
While working over Dolliver the
physician unexpectedly made the dis
cover' 'hat he was no longer feeling
the heart beats. An examination re
vealed that hi. patient was dead.
KETCHEL'S SLAYER CAUGHT
Arrested by Farmers 17 Mile From
Scene of Crime.
Walter A. Hurts, also known as
Walter Dipley, who shot and killed
Stanley Ketcoell, the pugilist, at the
ranch of R. H. Dickerson. seven miles
from Conway, Webster county, Mo.,
was arrested by three farmers near
Niangua, Webster county, 17 miles
from the scene of the crime.
Dipley, when accused, confessed
that he had shot Ketchell. The pris
oner then told of the alleged remarks
made to Goldie Smiih by Ketchell on
the day before the murder, saying ho
l-.llled Ketchell because he feared he
would lose his own life, as Ketchell
had a revolver in a scabbard around
his face. Dipley was then taken to
Marshfield, and placed in jail there.
He met Goldie Smith in Bluff. Christ
ian county, at the home of her step
father about a month ago, when they
decided to live as man and wife.
Funeral services were hfcld over
the body of Ketchell yesterday after
noon. FROM FRANCE TO ENGLAND

and Lauds Republican Nominee.
Troy, N. Y.. Oct. 18. Mr. Roosevelt
beat Ids way up the Hudson in the
Interests of Mr. Stlmson and the Re
publican ticket. Ho spent most of his
time luml'astlng John A. Dix, whom

port unity.
The colonel ntteinpted to Justify
again his criticism of the supremo
court. Hn reiterated more vehement
ly than he did at Denver thnt tho de
cision on the New York bake shop
case was against slate's rights. He
used that point to tiling out the fact,
that when Mr. Dlx attacked Mr. Roos
evelt for criticising the highest court
in the land, Mr. Dix was placing him
self In the position of opposing state's
rights.
In relating the things that Mr.
Slimson had accomplished as United
States district attorney, tho colonel
harked hark to the prosecution of
James Gordon Bennelt, owner of the
New York Herald. In this connection
he declared that the New York news
papers, which are now supporting Mr.
Dix. naming the World, Evening Post,
Sun nnd Times, gave no publicity to
what Mr. Stlmson had don. Indeed
for the most part they snpressed all
mention of It, he said.
