' r . .. V- - v u , BP IS ne .Motor Foils and Zeppelin Craf Drifts About Helpless. Ship Lands on Tree Tops and is Bad ly Damaged Passengers Reach Ground on Rope Ladder, Dusseldorf, Germany Count Zeppe lin's passenger airship Deutschland, the greatest of all the famous aero naut's models, lies in the Teutoburgian forest pierced by pine trees, a mass of deflated silk and twisted aluminum, The 33 passengers and crew aboard the airship when it struck the pines after a wild contest with a storm, escaped uninjured, climbing down from - the wreck on a rope ladder . llerr Colesmann, general manager of the new airship company; Chief En gineer Duers, of the Zeppelin ship, and Charles Wannenberg, who had charge of the crew of 10, and 20 newspaper men Bailed from Dusseldorf for a three hours' excursion. In the high wind one of the motors refused to work and the other two did not give sufficient power to make any headway m the gale. The airship drifted, swaying in the violent gusts and sometimes leaning at an angle of 40 degrees. All the while the engine men were at work repairing the dis abled motor. When this was done all four screws were driven at their full power. Un der normal conditions the engines were capable of driving the airship at a speed of 40 miles an hour, but the helmsman was unable to keep his course and the great craft was swung about at the mercy of the winds. Colesmann did not dare to come about, for fear of overturning, and de- cided to drift with the gale toward Os- nabruck, also a garrision. He then decided to continue on to Senne. Suddenly he perceived a whirlwind coming, and ascended to a height of nearly 4,000 feet to avoid the center of it. With the whirlwind came a heavy -downpour of rain. After half an hour the Deutschland came down to permit observations and it was seen that the Teutoburgian for est lay below. The forward motor stopped again and Colesmann sent five -of the correspondents to the aft gon dola to ballast the vessel. The Deutschland sank rapidly, hav ing lost much gas in the high altitude, and dragged along the top of the dense forest. A heavy branch of a tree broke through the bottom of the cabin amidships, throwing two of the guests to the floor. Other branches ripped through the gas compartments and the whole great structure settled down 30 -or 40 feet from the ground. BUYING AUTOS AND LAND. Middle West People Securing Tracts for Homes Elsewhere. St, Joseph, Mo. Fifteen million dol lars spent for automobiles and more than $18,000,00 sent elsewhere for the purchase of land tells what the West is doing with some of its money, accord ing to information compiled by Graham G. Lacey, a banker of this city, who has obtained replies to a series of ques tions addressed to bankers in Kansas, Nebraska, Missouri and Iowa. Reports from 251 banks showed that approximately $18,000,000 had gone out of their section for the purchase of lands in other states, and 234 banks reported that a heavy amount had gone out of their sections for such purposes. For autos, 427 banks reported that a total of $15,000,000 had been spent. Out of 639 replies received, 293 stated that agricultural conditions were good, the remainder reported such con ditions as only fair. A good wheat crop was reported by 20 per cent of re plies, fair by 38 per cent, and bad by 42 per cent. Fifty-one per cent reported that the banks were carrying more real estate loans for their customers at this time than they were carrying a year ago. Genoa, Nev., Destroyed. Carson City, Nev. Genoa, the coun ty seat of Douglas county, 211 miles south of this city, was almost com pletely destroyed by fire . The loss ia estimated at over $100,000. The court house, Masonic Hall, and several other brick structures were completely gutted by the flames. Firefighting ap paratus was forwarded by a Southern Pacific train from this city to the scene in the hope of checking the names, which threaten the surrounding farms. Genoa is the oldest town this side of the Sierra Nevada mountains. Louisiana Raps Suffrage. Baton Rouge, La. The upper branch of the Louisiana legislature went on record as not only opposed to woman suffrage, but refused to allow women to act as members of boards of an ed ucational or a charitable nature, even though they be elected to such board by men. They came to this decision when Senator Geuydon tried to have passed his bill allowing women mem bership on educational and charitable boards. Chile Wind Wrecks Ships. San Francisco The Merchants' Ex change has received advices from Val paraiso, Chile, that the German steam er Irmingard is ashore off Corral and is believed to be a total loss. The crew was saved. Several other vessels the names of which are unknown, have been wrecked as the result of the storm which has raged several days on the coast. METHODISTS INVADE ZION. Dedicate Chapel in Voliva's City Latter Declares War. and Zion City, 111. "We will fight this invasion to the death," is the state ment attributed to General Overseer Glenn H. Voliva, of Zion City, referr ing to an invasion of the sacred pre cincts of Zion by the Methodists, who recently dedicated a modest chapel in side the city. Bishop McDowell and a long list of Methodist dignitaries assisted in the ceremonies, and they say they are i Zion to stay and grow. If so they will probably prove an extremely large thorn in the flesh of Overseer Voliva, for the excellent reason that his own camp is badly divided. The independ ents in Zion hailed the advent of the Methodists warmly and sent a delega tion of elders to the dedication of the chapel. The new church will have the back ing of business interests outside and Overseer Voliva has the battle of his life cut out if he undertakes to exter minate the invader. The Methodists dedicated their church in the forenoon, and in the af ternoon Voliva, speaking at the taber nacle, hurled his defiance. This draws the lines of battle clearly and some in teresting developments may be expect ed. The Methodists will seek out the suffering in the city and not permit them to die without attention. The recent case of an aged elder being suffered to expire of a rattlesnake bite, while Voliva refused aid aside from the customary prayers is a case in point. Voliva, it is understood, had just realized his dream of securing control of a majority of the land holdings, in which case he would have become a dictator more powerful even than was John Alexander Dow ie, founder of the city. At present there is strife between the aldermen, two sets claiming elec tion. After the death of Dowie and the subsequent failure, the advent of a receiver tore down much of the Chin ese wall surrounding the city, ihe followers of Dowie broke up into nu merous factions, which warred upon each other. Voliva has succeeded in aligning several of these factions with his cause, but the opposition still is very strong. TAFT'S TIE FLAMING RED. President, Going on Vacation, 'Hopes to Sea Newspapermen in Fall. Washington President Taft has gone to spend the next tnree or lour months at Beverly, Mass., the summer capital of the United States. The president s air of gaiety over his de parture was accentuated by a vivid red necktie. With the president went Secretary Norton and Assistant Secretary For ester; Captain Archibald Butt, his mil- tary aide; Dr. Barker, his physician; several stenographers, and two nus- sengers. On the same train, although not in the president's car, was Secre tary Nagel, of the department of com merce and labor. Before leaving the White House the president called into his office all the newspaper men who have been writing for their associations or papers of the daily doings about the executive offices and wished them a pleasant summer, expressing the nope that he would see them again in the fall. 30,000 MINERS WILL RETURN TO WORK St Louis Thomas L.

The union will be conceded the 5.55 per cent increase in the wage scale which was the first difference between the miners and operators. Molten Iron Kills Three. Chicago Three men were probably fatally burned and a score of others painfully injured as a result of being splashed with molten metal pouring from a blast of the furnace of the Gary, Ind., works of the Illinois Steel company. The property loss is esti mated at $10,000. The injured were taken to the company's private hospit al. The furnace had just been opened and the string of ladles was ready to receive the hot metal when the tram way gave way, and there was no way to plug the furnace. Railroad Suit Dismissed.

Food Expert Must Now Confine Work to Laboratory. Washington Dr. Harvey A. Wiley, chief of the bureau of chemistry, de partment of agriculture, is deprived of part of the power he has been exercis ing by a clause in the agricultural ap propriation bill, which says that "here after the legal work of the department of agriculture shall be performed un der the supervision and direction of the solicitor." This means that Dr. Wliey, who heretofore has issued citations for hearings whenever examinations made in his bureau seemed to justify him in demanding of the manufacturer an ex planation of any article of food or drug product which it was thought did not come up to the standard of purity de manded by the food and drug act, must confine his work practically to his lab oratory. His other powers , will be transferred to the solicitor of the de partment. LAND OFFICE CUTS BILLS. Revision of Plans Occasioned by Re duction of Appropriation, Washington The general land office is shaping its program for field inves tigations of matters concerning the public domain so as to come within the compass of the appropriation' of $750, 000 which the sundry civil bill has ap propriated for the work. Commission er Dennett, of the general land office expects the field divisions to be re duced from 17 to 12, and the field ser vice force of the land office decreased about 25 per cent. The reduction will be due to the fact that $1,000,000 was appropriated for the work during the current fiscal year. The appropriation of $750,000 for the next year, however, was based up on the estimate of the general land office as to the amount required to car ry on the work. Ballinger Probe Waits. Washington The chances of a ver dict from the Ballinger-Pinchot inves tigating committee during the present session of congress are remote. The committee held a . meeting behind closed doors, but it was announced an adjournment had been taken. It was learned that there was no expression of opinion as to the merits of the case. Several of the members had not read the briefs submitted by the attorneys and were not prepared to report. Sleuth Must Wait for Pay. Washington Owing to the fact that only $10,000 is in the government's moiety fund, Richard Parr, who was awarded $100,000 for discovering the fraudulent underweighing of the sugar trust at New York, will have to wait until the next session of congress to secure the full amount due him. The $10,000 probably will be turned over to Parr within a few days. The remain der of the award will have to be ap propriated by congress at its next ses sion. Drydock Dewey Raised. Manila After several weeks sub mersion the drydock Dewey was floated and is in better shape than it was ex pected. The pumps have been kept in constant service since the dock was raised. A careful investigation was started by a special board to ascertain the cause of the sinking. Several rea- I sons have been advanced but not until the board reports to the Navy depart ment at Washington will the real cause be made public. Dry Lands Open for Entry. Washington The Interior depart- mnet has designated under the enlarg ed homestead act approximately a mil lion acres of land in Wyoming not sus ceptible of successful irrigation at reasonable cost from any known source of water supply. In Wyoming,- up to the present time, the area of land so designated totals 14,500,000 acres. Bridge Made Monument.

Philippine Treasurer Dies. Washington Richard M. Corwine of Ohio treasurer of Moro province in the Philippines died in the islands June 26. He was a volunteer in the Spanish American war and served throughout the Philippine insurrection. TALKED AND SPENT MONEY. 10,000 Pages of Congressional Rec ord; Appropriate $1,074,000,000 Washington In addition to spending $1,074,000,000, or a trifle more, the recent congress was the wordiest on record. The Congressional Record totaled nearly 10,000 pages and each page contains more words than the average newspaper column. 1 his has set the statisticians esti mating the number of words uttered by the members of congress during the session. Figuring that onl 6,000 pages were devoted to lebites and speeches, and the other 4,000 pages to records, the statesmen uttered some thing like 10,800,000 words. Bills introduced in the house during the session numbered 27,065, and in the senate 8,800. Thousands of these were pension and private claim bills. Of those intended for the public good 136 house and 83 senate bills have be come laws. The senate ratified three treaties of no great imporatance, and confirmed 10,800 appointments by the president, who established a record in the number of appointments. The recent session convened on De cember 6. The long sessions of the five preceding congresses ended on May 20, June 30, April 2, July 1 and June 7. ueatns since tne preceding session included Senators McLaurin, of Missis sippi, and Johnson, of North Dakota, and Representatives Griggs, of Georgia, Loveridge, of Massachusetts, Perkins, of New York, De Armond, of Missouri, and Lassiter, of Virginia. OVER BILLION APPROPRIATED. Congress Fails in Boast of Saving $50,000,000 This Year. Washington More than a billion dollars was appropriated at the recent session of congress, if continuing ap propriations are incorporated in the totals of the general appropriation measures. Definite figures concerning the ap propriations will be issued from the house and senate committees within a few days. Insofar as the figures could be ob tained from measures which under went changes in the last hours of the session, the total of the appropriations, exclusive of continuing appropriations, was $894,086,943. The amount of the continuing ap propriations for the last fiscal year was about $160,000,000. It is safe to say that it will not be less for the next fiscal year, and the grand total therefore will aggregate at least $1, 054,000,000. The appropriation measures for the fiscal years 1909-10, exclusive of con tinuing appropriations, carried $883,- 318,210, wnue tnose oi the fiscal year of 1908-9 carried $854,203,240. The boasts of congressional leaders that fully $50,000,000 would be saved in the appropriations for the next fis cal year were not realized. 8-HOUR DAY PROHIBITIVE. Secretary Fears Battleships Cannot Be Built in Government Yards. Washington Secretary of the Navy Meyer, just before leaving Washington on a trip to Hamilton, Mass., announ ced that he is'going to reorganize the accounts of the department. He said that the authorization of the naval sup ply account in the general deficiency bill makes it possible for him to place the accounts of the department on a business basis in accordance with the recommendations of the civilian expert accountants and the best commercial practices. The secretary expressed the fear that the eight-hour day provision may make the cost of building a battleship in a government navy yard prohibitive. He hopes to be able to Etry, in one of the colliers now building, a gear-drive device for propelling machinery and an electric drive in another collier. Indians Taught to Farm." Washington At all the Indian res ervations throughout the West car loads of farming implements of the most modern type will begin to arrive this week. Expert farmers in the em ploy of the Indian service will soon be gin making visits to the agencies, in structing the Indians how to use the implements. The work begins in earnest now, and it is hoped that per fection will be a step toward making the Indian responsible for his welfare. Cannon Cuts Poindexter. Washington Representative Poin dexter, insurgent, is the only represen tative from the Northwest who got nothing for his district in the omnibus public building bill. When the bill was reported it car ried $12,000 for a site at Wenatchee, but when printed copies of the bill were delivered this item had disap peared. It is understood it was re moved by the direction of Speaker Can non as punishment to Poindexter for his insurgency. Contracts for Four Submarines. Washington Secretary of the Navy Meyer has awrded contracts for the construction of four submarine boats of 450 tons each. The Electric Boat company was given the contract for the three of the boats and the Lake Torpedo Boat company was awarded the contract for the fourth. It is probable that three of the boats will De constructed on the racinc coast, SOMETHING FOB EVZEYB0DY Nuremberg is the home of the pocket timepiece. France still has 11,000 men encamped on Moroccan soil. Alaska's copper output this year will exceed 4,000,000 pounds. Electricity Is the only motor power used in submarine boats. In fifteen years a locomotive will run 240,000 miles and earn $300,000, The governors of Australia and Can ada each receive a salary of $50,000 yearly. An automatic coupler for air and steam hose on railroad trains hag been invented. A great electric power generating station In Germany will make use of peat fuel entirely.

Roller skating has become popular In the Alpine cities of Switzerland, the streets being used. The same is true of Mannheim, Germany. Ameri can skates are popular. Fifteen American consulates in France report $133,000,000 worth of shipments to the United States in 1909, against $91,000,000 worth in 1908. Paris leads with $66,000,000. It is now asserted that Leon Dela- grange lost his life when his aero plane shot to the ground because he became confused and excited while he was flying low and about to turn. Seventy-flve per cent of the farmers of the United States plant their crops according to the moon's phases, but scientific investigation shows that po tatoes planted in the "dark" of the moon are no better than others. As a means to reduce the smoke evil the municipal authorities of Glas gow will hold an exhibition of gas heating, lighting and cooking appli ances and appliances for the use of various sorts of smokeless fuel. For the Inflation of automobile tires a Frenchman has invented tubes con taining aluminum with a small pro portion of mercury bichloride. The admission of water forms hydrogen gas under pressure, which may easily be turned Into the tires. The supply of foodstuffs in Ger many has only been kept up to the maximum figures by intensive agri- ulture, the employment of modern machinery, scientific fertilization and the employment of millions of female hands. The shipments of Chinese merchan dise to the United States, as invoiced through the American consulate gen eral at Shanghai, which had dropped off from $14,734,853 in value in 1907 to $9,321,646 in 1908, went up to $13, 872,531 last year. The work of building the great docks is proceeding with energy. Over $20,000,000 will be expended. Singa pore already ranks as the eighth greatest port in the world, and the new construction will give It as fine ocking facilities as any port in the East. The present steam railroad mileage in continental Europe Is 149,491. Rus sia, including tne sioenan railway. leads with 40,117 miles, followed by Germany with 36,701 and France with 24,964. The general per cent of in crease in 1909 was 1.11, compared with 3.6 in 1908. A writer in the Lancet mentions lurid incidents at a funeral. A man was supposed to have run danger of being buried alive; for when his cof fin was moved a knocking sound was heard within. When it was opened it was found that a hammer had been left in it, and had jolted about so as to cause the noise. As a result, it is said, of the in creased spirit duties under the British budget the police have noticed in re mote districts of Ireland indications of a revival of illicit distillation of liquor. There has also been a consid erable increase, it Is reported, in the use of spirits of ether as a beverage since the price or whisky was raised. A Burlington passenger train com ing into St. Joseph had to stop and remove a sleeping man from the track. A brakeman was left to hold the man, and when the train reached the sta tion a policeman was sent to arrest the track sleeper. He was running down the right of way with the brake man hanging to his coattails with all brakes set. Kansas City Star.
