Carried far from their expected course by whimsical winds, six of the thirteen giant gas bags which started in the national balloon race at Milwaukee 'Wednesday were un accounted for at dawn today. Two of the drifting bags were manned by army pilots, two by navy airmen, and two by civiliau balloouists. Cross currents shifted the bags piloted by Major Oscar Westover, of tiie Army, and Lieut. Commander J. 1'. Norlleet, oi the navy, from the northeastern courso which they pursued at the start from Milwaukee, and when last heard from they were hovering over the edge of Lake Erie and floating east by nortti. Tho remaining four 'bugs believed to be still in the race were carried down tin Mississippi alley on surface winds. As darkness closed around them they were drifting across Missouri bkies. Several of the pilots quit the race be cause they could expect no more favors from the winds und wished to hold the distance they had covered. These in cluded Ralph Upson, of Detroit, one of the seven civilians shot high into tho ky at the hop off. He descended near l'ainesvillc, O., last night, when shift ing winds threatened to start him back over the crooked course his bag pursued. '.

E Captain Amundson Sets Sail On First Lap Of Five Year Voyage Into Ice Fields Two Airplanes Will Be Carried Along, Also Lumber For Huts Ship to Be Converted In to House University of Washington Stud ents Help Fit Out Ship. . SEATTLE, WASH., June 2. Cap tain Koald Amundsen's exploration ship Maud, crammed to the last inch of het cargo holds with equipment and supplies, is ready to sail tomorrow on the first lap of tho long voyage through tho ice floes about the north pole, Captain Amundsen said today. Two airplanes, to be used in metoro logical and topographical investiga tions in the uncharted poplar basin, were loaded aboard the vessel. Captain A mundsen will not sail with the Maud, but will join his ship at Nome, Alaska, leaving Seattle Sunday on the steamer Victor!. A deck load of lumber forms an im portant item in the Maud's cargo. The explorer explained taht after the ship is frozen into the Arctic ice pack, with which he expects to drift past the north I'ole, living quarters for the dogs of the expedition und huts for scientific obser vations will 'be constructed on the ice. The ships, by means of lumber, will be converted into a "house" where for tho five or more years the vessel will drift, the crew will live. University of Washington women students are planning to contribute their share to the ship's supplies Saturday just before sailing time. For days the ex plorer's feminine admirers at the uni versity have been engaged in making canity for members of the expedition. BELIEVE FERGUSON IS MAN WHO ROBBED BOTH BANKS Guilford Officials Think Man Is Demented and Living in the Woods. .(Greensboro Daily News.) That Grady Ferguson, who last week robbed the Bank of llandleman of $500, was the man who forced Howard Simp son, cashier, and b. H. Hoskins, director of the Bank of Summenicld. last Mon day morning to hold their hands aloft while lie took approximately if 1,500 from the brink's money drawer is the opinion of Mr. Hoskins, Mr. Simpson and tho county officers. "A" photograph of Fer guson shown to the men held up is tin basis for their belief. . , A picture of Ferguson was obtained from Kandleinan yesterday morning by I Sheriff b. li. Stafford.

Tt-iw then sent to Summerfield and Howam Simpson is also certain, according to a message- received yesterday afternoon, that Ferguson is the man. The belief of people in Tiandleman who knew Ferguson is that he is de- mented and the supposition i8 that ho i is living in the woods, from which il appear he is likely to step unr moment to rob a linnk. iso far, if ho in the man who obtained the money at .Summerfield, he has obtained approxi mately $2,1)110, .$500 at llandleman and j $1..-IK) at Summerfield.

His disnimcnr.-inrn ! from Kandleman was interesting enough ' but the manner in which the man who' entered the Kiimmerfield bank vanished. , apparently, fromth e faco of the earth is even more peculiar. The man who acquired the money at hummerfield walked from the bank and across a field for a distance of at least .-uo yards, a field in which there were onlv two trees, disapnearinir in wiim- ' woods.

As Captain Amundsen drifts slowly across the cheerless expanse of the polar basin from which no white man ever emerged, he will search tho whits waste about him for signs of the "phantom fleet" the frozen company of lost ships that the Eskimos claim Bwings around the North polo year in and year out, gripped in the in exorable clutches of the great ice floes. Scouting over n wide area on each side of the auxiliary power schoonei Maud, the famous explorer will have an extraordinary opportunity to investigate the re-ports of the erie fleet brought out from tho farthest reaches of the north by the natives. Vessels have disappeared strangely in the unexplored polar basin since the be ginning of Arctic navigation. Jn one fell swoop tho hungry ice pack in 1876 carried off thirty whaling ships from the waters north of the American conti nent. Most of the men fled to tho ice and escaped to Point Barrow and other points on the Arctic coast, 'but seventy refused to desert tho ships. The slow but ceaseless movement of the ice carried them into the mysterious uncharted north region that comprises one million square miles.
