rRAXKFOHT, July 31. The dirigible

Zeppelin himself, descended here safely
betveen 2 and 3 o'clock this afternoon
after having sailed from Friedrichshafen,
a distance of about 220 miles, at an av
erage speed of 21 miles an hour. Half
the time the night was made against

Almost the whole population of the city
was in the streets to receive Count Zep

factory whistles began when the airship
was sighted at a height of 900 yards.

As it" passed over Brietipheim the air

and adverse winds frequently diverted it
from its course.
The airship started from Friedrich

Jng and has come to be exhibited at the
air navigation exposition.

it fully met the requirements and pledges
of the party and the President, at the
same time would not stop a single wheel

would deprive no man of labor at a de
cent, fair wage.
Senate Will Adopt Report.
The chances favor the adoption of the
conference report by the Senate. The
Democrta have been unable to unite on
course though those from the South
bitterly denounce the putting of binding
twine on the free list and leaving cotton
bagging on the dultable list as an un
warranted partiality. The Democratic
caucus reached a decision against fili
bustering as a party. Bailey left tne
caucus before It had concluded, telling
the other members that he proposed to
pursue any course which he deemed best
in the interest of the Southern planters.
Democratic Senators criticise the in
creased tax on tobacco, which they de
clared was imposed to make up for the
reduction of the corporation tax rate.
Votes of U Republican Senators would
be necessary to reject the conference re
DOrt. Seven or eight of the original "in
surgents" will cas their ballots in oppo
sition to the report, but it is not believed
that their example will be followed by
many other Republicans.

- Has Met Requirements and Will Get
$30,000 for Aeroplane.
WASHINGTON, July 31. Orvllle Wright
traveled 47.31 miles an hour in his
flight Friday in returning from Alex
andria end of the course to Fort Myer.
This is the official report made by the
trial board at the War Department to
day. The Wrights will receive 330,000
for their aeroplane, 35000 of which is
the bonus for speed over the contract
requirements.
"Everything is satisfactory." said
General Allen, "and the Wright aero
plane will be accept. 1 by the Govern
ment."
Orvllle Wright and Miss Katherlne
Wright went to Dayton, O.. today.
While Wilbur expects to follow them
' Sunday.
Army and Navy officials contend the
t accomplishment of the cross-country
: flight demonstrated the availability of
the aeroplane for use in warfare.
"The great advantage of an aeroplane
over a balloon for use in warfare is that
i It can fly low over a rough country,'
! said Wilbur Wright today, "thus having
: objects on the ground in plain view. Or-
. ville demonstrated that yesterday. The
small exposed surface of the aeroplane
would have made him practically safe
from the fire of an enemy.
Mr. Wright was asked to estimate what
; had been the greatest altitude attained
i during the flight, and replied that over
I the hill at Four Mile Run he had sailed
at a height of 450 or 601) feet

Impossible to keep perfect surveillance

enough police officers on the department
to assign one policeman to each dis

police can watch them, they are now
scattered all over the city.
'Under these conditions then it is
virtually impossible to devise a system
whereby this traffic can be regulad. It
is largely a matteraublic sentiment.
There Is no change in policy in this de
partment. When this class of people be

into unpleasant publicity, we will bring
the law to bear at once.
If it were a matter left to my per
sonal discretion. I believe a restricted
district would be best, all things con

where they shall go. but we will drive
them out of any respectable neighborhood
where we know they exisf and will do
all we can to prevent their disorderly or
unseemly demeanor In any part of the
city. We will not tolerate red lights or
public resorts opening out on the street."

Bluecoats Instead of Vision.
CHICAGO. July 31. Following the
injunctions of an angel, as he said,
William E. Haskell, a colored preacher,
buried himself alive in a grave in the
rear of his house, yesterday evening.
He dug his grave four feet deep, six
feet long and three feet wide, and ly

himself, leaving only his head showing.
Covering the grave was a canvas sheet
inside of which was spread a white
mantel set with seven candles, and dec
orated with palm leaves and ferns. Af
ter nightfall the candles caught the
eyes of passersby, and soon a great
crowd gathered, some to scoff and oth
ers to offer to join in the prayers in
which Haskell seemed to be finding
beatific joy. A squad of police ar
rived presently and with difficulty
worked their way through the throng.

OSAKA, Japan. August L At o'clock
this mroning the terrible conflagration
which has reduced to ashes a large por
tion of this city was under control. Up
to that hour 13,000 buildings had been
destroyed. An area four miles square
was swept by the flames.
A fire which threatened to destroy this
city started at 4 o'clock yesterday morn'
ing. At :30 last night the Are had con
sumed one-fifth of the town.
The firemen, who have been fighting
all day, are completely exhausted, and
troops have been called out to assist In
the firefighting and to preserve order
in the city. Everything is dry, on ac
count of the drought that has been pre
vailing for the last two weeks, and the
water supply is failing. The tire has de
stroyed thousands of buildings, including
the world-famous Buddhist Temples.
The exact amount of damage done by
the flames cannot be estimated at pres
ent. Dut the total will be large. A num
ber of persons have been killed and
seriously injured by the fire.
Osaka is one of the "imperial cities"
of Japan, and is one of the most im
portant manufacturing and commer
cial cities of the empire. It shelters
almost three-quarters of a million peo
ple. The largest of the Buddhist tem
ples, for which the city is famous
among travelers, covers an enormous
area. The chief public building of
Osaka is the palace, built of stone in
1583.

UNCLE SAM IS PROTECTED
Invention of Army Officer Will Off
set Any Kind of Attack.
CHICAGO. July 31 A special cable dis
patch from London to the Tribune says:
From an excellent source it has been
learned that the reason the American
Government remains apparently so little
concerned about the advances in aerial
navigation made by foreign experimenters
is that an officer in the United States
Army stationed at Fort Omaha has
worked out an electric invention which is
likely to paralyze all other existing or
proposed engines of war. The invention,
he says, is to be exclusively the property
of the United States Government and up
to the present the essential details are
carefully guarded. The machine is said
to project through the air a column of
electric energy of almost any desired
strength at any given object for a dis
tance of many hundreds of yards. The
informant, who is an expert in war, said:
"Such an electric column would queer
every mechanism on a warship, stop the
engines, annul the dynamos, kill the sig
naling apparatus, make the guns unwork
able, slay hundreds of men by shock alone
and might even explode the magazines.
Its possibilities for offensive warfare are
almost unlimited. Of course, I don't eay
its absolute efficiency yet is assured, but
from certain knowledge I can say in err
tlre confidence that the experiments
made point convincingly in this direction."
BAY CITY DISAPPOINTED
TAFT IS FORCED TO DECLINE
PORTOLA INVITATION'.
Time Will Not Permit His Attend

Coming October.
WASHINGTON, July 81. (Special.)
President Taft has replied through his
secretary, Fred W. Carpenter, to the
invitation to attend the Portola festival.
He says tnat he cannot do so. Senator
Perkins received his formal answer to
day. This probably disposes of that
matter, but the Congressmen from Cali
fornia have not abandoned hope that
the time allotted to California will be
materially extended. Secretary Car
penter's letter is as follows:
"The President finds that he will be
unable to visit San Francis 3 at the
time of the Portola festival during the
week of October 19th, and he would be
glad, therefore, to have you convey to
those in charge of the celebration an
expression of his appreciation of and
thanks for the kind invitation which
you presented, and his regret that his
engagements and itinerary will not per

6tory of Borah Sheds Light on Con

With Senator Bourne.
WASHINGTON, July 31. (Special.)
Two new Taft stories were put in circu
lation today. One involves Senator Borah,
of Idaho, and the other Senator Bourne,
of Oregon.
Mr. 'Borah was summoned to the "White
House a few days ago. He was ushered
in to the President, who told him that
certain members of Congress were pes
tering him to agree to the exorbitant
T.ittauer rates or women's gloves.
"What would you tell 'em. Senator?"
asked the President- .
'Tell them to go to the devil," ans
wered Mr. Borah.
"I did," answered Mr. Taft.
The secret of the friendship of, Mr.
Bourne and the President is out Mr.
Bourne was the most rabid of the Roose
velt shouters, and he made a serious
effort to defeat Mr. Taft at the Chicago
convention. Nowadays the two men are
chums on the golf links.
"How does it come that you and
Bourne are so thick?" asked one of the
President's visitors. "He certainly was
against you for the Presidency and tried
to upset your ambitions with his second
elective term theory."
"You can't expect me to quarrel with
Bourne because he believes in a second
elective term, can you?" asked the Presi
dent. "I am somewhat of a believer in
that doctrine myself."
