ZEPPELIN JVI0T DAUNTED
Count Determined to Fly to Vienna
to Visit Emperor.
OSNABRTJECK. Germany, June 29.
Count Zeppelin, disappointed but not
discouraged, hurried here today to su
perintend the salvage of his latest
aerial model, the great airship Deutsch
land, which came to grief yesterday.
The count will be 72 years old on
Friday of next week. He has an en
gagement for the near future to fly
from Friedrlckshafen to Vienna and
exhibit his Invention to Emperor Fran
cis Joseph, and purposes to make good
his promise.
The prospects for early resumption
of the passenger service, however, are'
not bright.
The airship company announces that
the accident will necessitate a suspen
sion for several months of the adver
tised excursions.
After hours of perilous flight, during
which It was driven hither and thither
at the caprice of the gale, the Deutsch
land found desperate refuge in the
trees of Teutoburger Wald. Its frame
work was wrenched and the great en
velope badly torn. The 32 passengers,
including 20 newspaper men, had nar
row escapes. .
It was found today that it would be
necessary to dismantle the airship, and
this was begun.
During the operation today a mem
ber of the crew was severely injured.
Throughout tie night 200 soldiers
stood guard about the clump of trees
in the branches of which the airship
was lodged. Today the soldiers were
oocupled with restraining the thous
ands of persons who flocked from
miles around.
The next voyage of the Deutschland
will be made with Count Zeppelin at
the helm.
DOUBLE DEATH MYSTERY
Musician and CouTt Singer Shot.
One May Be Suicide.
STUTTGART. Germany, June 29. Dr.
Aloys Obrist, the famous musical con
ductor, and Anna Sutter, a court sing
er, were found dead together today.
Both had been shot. Appearances in
dicate that one had been murdered and
that the other had committed suicide.
Dr. Obrist was born at San Re mo,
Italy, In 1867. He conducted the royal
opera here in 1907 and 1908.
The discovery of the bodies of the
, musician and his woman companion
was a shock not only to Dr. Obrist's in
timates In musical, circles, but to the
public at large, among which he was a
notable figure. Mystery surrounds th
affair, but the impression is strong that
me same nana KUlea both.
Dr. Obrist was of Swiss-Scotch de
scent. His mother came from the north
of Scotland and his father's family have
been engaged either in the government
service or in agriculture In the vicinity
of Zurich for 600 years.
Dr. Obrist had made Weimar his home
since is io, ana ror many years had oc
cupied the villa Allsa. He was a di
rector of the Liszt Museum, and was
appointed royal conductor by the King
of Wurtemburg. He was the author of
several contributions to musical litera
ture, on which subject he was regarded
as an autnonxy.

RATE CUT SWEEPING
Effect on Railroads' Revenues
to Be Determined.
ENFORCEMENT IS DELAYED
Commission Holds Water Competi
tion to Spokane Is Not Material.
Southern Pacific Bnsiness in
Nevada Is Hard Hit.
(Continued From First Page.)
made by taking 75 per cent of the ter
minal rates, is founded upon facts
which do not exist and is constructed
on a theory which cannot be approved
by the Commission."
The rates established for the future
are materially lower approximately
20 per cent on both classes and com
modities but they will not be effect
ive immediately.
Horizontal Reductions Ordered.
In fixing the rates to Spokane the Com
mission did not use the rates to Seattle
as a standard, but adjusted the rates to
Spokane upon what is considered to be
a reasonable basis, taking into account
that water competition at Spokane was
not material. Then the Commission held
aa follows:
'Joint through rates, both class and
commodity, should be established from
defined territories east of Chicago to
Spokane.
Through Rates Needed.
"Where joint through rales do not now
exist from points east of Chicago upon
certain lines to Spokane, the Commission
finds there is no reasonable and satis
factory through route, and such through
routes and Joint rates ought to be estab
lished.
"Both class and commodity rates should
be slightly lower from Mississippi River
points to Spokane than from Chicago
points.!'
The defendant lines maintained that
if material reductions were made the
result would be disastrous. In view of
the reductions that necessarily would
have to be made elsewhere.
In addition, the Northern Pacific
showed that since the first decision in
the Spokane case in the Spring of 1907
it had expended approximately 193,000,
000, and the Great Northern showed it
had . expended $75,000,000 in better
ments. The Commission says:
"These sums would in each case equal
approximately 25 per cent of the entire
cost of reproduction as found by the
Commission and would, if not accom
panied by increased earnings, perhaps
justify the claim to a greater return.
An examination 6f the nature of these
expenditures does not. however, lead to
the conclusion that they can have any
legitimate bearing.
Other Rates to Conform.
In the Spokane opinion It was . also
held that the rates to Baker City. La
Grande and Pendleton, Or., and Walla
Walla, Wash., were excessive, insofar
as they exceeded the new rates fixed to
Spokane.
Substantially the same state of af
fairs existed at Reno and other points
which had to pay the rates to San
Francisco and the back haul local
rates from San Francisco or Sacramen
to to the point of ultimate festlnction.
These local rates In most Instances
amounted to two-fifths or more of the
entire, rate from Eastern points of ori
gin to Pacific Coast terminals.
As noted above, the decisions of the
Commission in these cases affect all
class and commodity rates between
Eastern points and the far Y7-st.
No complaint was made in any of the
cases of the rates of the Eastern lines
between Atlantic points and Mississip
pi River transfers, and all of the reduc
tions ordered by the Commission affect
the rates from Mississippi River and
Missouri River transfer points to Pa
cific Coast terminals and inter-mountain
territorial points.
In the Nevada and Arizona cases, in
cluding the Sacramento - Reno case
against the Southern Pacific Company,
the Railroad Commission of Nevada
against the Southern Pacific Company
and the Maricopa County Commercial
Company against the Atchison, Topeka
Sc. Santa Fe and other carriers, the de
cisions were prepared by Commission
er Franklin K. Lane.
Rate Is "Unprecedented."
In each of them a heavy reduction in
class rates is ordered, some of the re
ductions being as high as 33 1-3 per
cent. The commission finds that the
existing rates are "practically without
precedent or parallel" In the United
Estates. xne average race per ton per
mile on au 10 classes Irora Sacramento
to Reno is 9.16 cents, an unprecedented
figure.
The class rates between Sacramento
and Reno are reduced approximately
DANIEL.
80 per cent, the rate on first - class
freight being lowered from $1.29 per
100 pounds to 85 cents. Similar reduc
tions in the class rates are made from
Sacramento to other points in Nevada
and Utah. In some cases the reduc
tions reach 60 per cent.
In the case of the Railroad Commis
sion of Nevada against the Southern
Pacific Company and other carriers, the
Commission condemns the existing
west-bound class rates from Eastern
points to Nevada.
In this connection the Commission de
clares these rates to be the "highest
rrain-line rates found In the United
States."
For carrying a carload of first-class
traffic containing 20,000 pounds from
Omaha to Reno, the Union and South
ern Pacific lines charge $858. If the
same carload goes 154 miles farther, to
Sacramento, the charge is but $600. The
fust-class rate to the more distaot
point, Sac.-amento, is S3 per 100 pounds,
and the nearer point, Reno, $4.29 per
100 pounds.
Distance Makes oX Difference.
If the same carload of freight orig
inates at Denver, 500 miles west of
Omaha, the same rates to Reno and
Sacramento apply; and if the freight
originates at Boston, 1700 miles east
of Omaha, the rates are the same.
The commission finds that only 25
per cent of the traffic into Reno from
the Fast originates east of Chicago,
while 75 per cent originates between
Chicago and Denver.
Turning to the -division of earnings be
tween carriers on traffic from the East
to Reno, the commission finds that the
lion's share accrues to the Southern Pa
cific Company.
It is significant, as indicated in the
opinion, that the lines east of Ogden,
Utah, receive exactly the same divis
ions out of the so-called "water com
petition" rates to Pacific Coast ter
minal points as they receive out of the
vastly higher rates to Nevada points,
"the entire difference being appropri
ated by the Southern Pacific Com
pany."
Astonishing facts were developed con
cerning the earning capacity of the Pa
cific lines. The Commission shows that
"during the last two years the operating
revenues of the Southern Pacific Com
pany's Pacific system had Increased
$8,000,000, while its operating expenses
had decreased $5,000,000, thus producing
an increased operating income of over
$12,000,000, or a net increase of about
$2000 per mile of road."
Central's Rates Highest.
Referring to other lines of the Pacific"
system, the Commission says:
"If we take the Central Pacific alone.
we find -it third in the list of Pacific
Coast roads in tons carried and the
highest of all in freight earnings per
mile $13,453. per mile in 1907. While
it is one of three railroads in the West
carrying over a million tons of freight
per mile of road, the earnings of the
Central Pacific per mile are 65 per
cent greater than the average in the
United States and 100 per cent greater
than the average of the roads west of
Chicago."
Present class rates in both directions
between Chicago and the Mississippi
and Missouri Rivers on the one hand,
and Utah points on the other, are held
by the commission to be unjust and un
reasonable, and material reductions are
proposed, but no order on either class
or commodity freight rates from East
ern defined territory to Utah will be
made until account of the present and
proposed rates for the months of July,
August and September can be obtained.
This conclusion Is reached in the case
of the Commercial Club of Salt Lake
City against the Atchison, Topeka &
Santa Fe Railway Company and other
carriers.
Passenger Fares Cut, Too.
The Commission also orders the car
riers to reduce their rates on fruits
from California to Utah common points.
The passenger fares between Utah
common points and Omaha and Port
land are not found to be unreasonable,
as alleged, but the fares between Salt
Lake City and Los Angeles, Salt Lake
City and San Francisco, and between
Ogden and Provo and San Francisco
are declared to be unreasonable and
they are ordered reduced.
The petition for a rehearing was filed
in accordance with the terms of the
order of May 81. permitting it to be
presented within SO days. The compli
ance with the order has the effect of
staying the mandate of the court until
the beginning of the next term in Oc
tober. Thus the railroads temporarily
at least are relieved of the necessity
of reducing their rates.-
All of the Western roads are affect
ed. The court originally sustained 'the
reduction ordered by the . Interstate
Commerce Commission. Petitions for
rehearings were filed by the roads to
day. Wisconsin Society to Be Formed.

Twelve Men Disagree and Report
"No Verdict" " After Being Out
115 Hours Vote Is Eight to
Four for Conviction.
CHICAGO. June 29. The jury In
Judge W. H. McSurely's division of the
Criminal Court that heard the case
against Lee O'Neil Browne, the Il
linois legislative minority leader,
charged with bribing Representative
Charles A. White to vote for William
Lorimer for United States Senator, dis
agreed and voted "no verdict" today.
Jury Packed, Says Wayman.
Scarcely had announcement of a- mis
trial in the case been made today than
State's Attorney Wayman declared that
the jury had been packed. Speaking
to the reporters he said:
"This is the most flagrant case of
Jury fixing I have ever seen. It would
seem that this courtroom was con
structed to make it easy to 'flag the
Jurors and this case is a good example.
The Jury was packed from the start.
"One Juror was the kingpin of them
all. It Is strange that men who have
been hanging about the courtroom day
after day, almost minute after minute,
should have been detected In building
across the street from the Juryroom
and should walk off arm In arm with
Jurors who stood for acquittal."
Mr. Wayman declared that the Jury
at one time stood 11 to 1 for conviction.
Signals Used, Charge.
The state's attorney declared that
men had been signalling Jurors from
the windows of a hotel across the
street from the criminal court build
ing.
"I won't have those fellows around
the courtroom again, flagging the Jur
ors, he added.
"If they attempt it In the next trial or
In any other trial, I shall have them
arrested at once. One of the Jurors told
me there was enough evidence to con
vict 60 men. Three men confessed to
receiving bribes and yet there were
four men on that Jury who failed to
convict, A pretty state of affairs.
Sensations Caused.
Mr. Wayman's comments caused a
sensation, and when reporters later re
verted to the subject the State's At
torney sought to modify his remarks.
The jury was out 115 hours, the long
est session by 41 hours .ever held by
Jury in Chicago. Twenty-four ballots
were taken, the count throughout stand
ing eight for conviction and four for ac
quittal.
The Jurors who stood for acquittal
were: Charles S. Spare, William R.
Lowe. William H. Henessy and Walter J.
Hermanson.
One juror, Arthur S. Townsend. was
asked if there was any fighting in the
jury room.
"I should say not," he answered with
a laugh. "They were a jolly good bunch
and we had a fine time. We all stuck
to our views. The arguments were
warm at times, but we all recognized
the rights of others to their own opin
ions."
Juror Spare Talks.
Juror Spare, who was reported to be
hanging the Jury, confirmed Town
send's version of the session.
"It was always 8 to 4," he said, "and
I don't believe we could have agreed
had we stayed till doomsday."
Judge McSurely said he would hear
a motion for a new trial a week from
today.
Lee O'Neil Browne, leader of the
Democratic minority in the State House
of Representatives, ' was charged spe
cifically with having paid Representa
tive Charles A. White to cast his vote
for William Lorimer for United States
Senator. White was the principal wit
ness for the state. Representatives H.
J. C. Breckmeyer and Michael S. Link
also testified that they had received
$1000 ach for their Lorimer votes. The
alleged promise to pay White the bribe
is said to have been made at Spring
field, where Browne is under indict
ment charged with bribery.
