BALDWIN FLIES TODAY
Will Hake Official Tesl for the
GovernmeDl
Preliminary Flights Have Been Suc
cessful and Government Will
Likely Buy His Dirigible Army
Officers Will Direct and Observe
This Afternoon.
(By Leased Wire to The Times)
Washington, Aug. 12 Satisfied
that with his flight yesterday after
noon he had reached a degree of ex
cellence not heretofore attained,
Captain "Thomas Baldwin will today.
send his dirigible balloon on Its first
official trial trip over the ' course
mapped put by the officers of the sig
nal corps.. The flight probably will
be made between five and six o'clock,
and if the speed and control main
tained yesterday are continued today
the only matter remaining unsettled
will be the price the government will
pay Baldwin for his machine.
The wonderful little motor which
drives the propeller has been tuned
up to the entire satisfaction of its
builder. Glen Curtis.
Yesterday before the flight it made
almost 1,600 revolutions per minute.
In the official trial today it is ex
pected that this speed will be equalled
if not exceeded. The officers of the
army board who have been detailed
to observe the operations of the diri
gible will be on hand this afternoon
to direct the details in connection
with estimating the distance flown
and the elapsed time.
VERDICT IN DUKE CASE.
Jury Returns Sealed Verdict in Case
Against Mrs. Webb Duke.
(By Leased Wire to The Times)
Chicago, Ills., Aug. 12. Finding
Mrs. Alice Web Duke, former wife
of Brodie L. Duke, multi-millionaire
tobacco man, guilty of obtain
ing money by means of a fraudulent
check, the jury in the case returned
a sealed verdict last night
The defense had been confident of
acquittal and was much surprised at
the verdict. It asserted that Mrs.
Webb signed the check under a mis
apprehension. She had money - in
one bank, it was said, but inadvert
ently signed a check on an institu
tion from which her funds had been
withdrawn. Witnesses for the hotel
company admitted that the check
had since been redeemed.

Dr. Julien A. Smith is desperately
ill at the Watts hospital and this week
underwent an operation at that place.
It was given him with no hope of
saving his. life, but of delaying bis
death. He has been in declining
health but did active practice until
a few weeks ago. He is one of the
best known of Durham's citizens.
The legislative race has been en
livened recently by the entrance of
Mr. Y. E. Smith, of East Durham,
superintendent of the mills. Mr.
Smith makes the tenth candidate,
though there are some, known to be
running purely for the fun of the
thing. He is an exceptionally popular
man and if nominated would be the
first of Durham people to go to the
legislature as a manufacturer, The
city is especially a manufacturing
town, and for that reason his candi
dacy will most likely be well re
ceived. In the meantime, Messrs.
Arley M. Moore and B. J. Lovensteln
are nightly speaking ' to audiences
over the county and are much elated
over the reception given them..
