VICTIM MAY BE DETROIT GIRL.
Light in Mystery Of Young Won
ans Death in New York

NEW YORK, August 6.-That the
charred body of young woman found
on half burned mattress on a refuse
dump in Green Point more than week
ago may be that OF a Detroit. Mich.

employment is the latest theory upon
which the police are working
Miss Annie Herivel. aged twenty-seven
a stenographer who came from Detroit
TO this city few days before the dis
covery Of the body on July 20. is the
missing woman. Her parents in Detroit
have notified the Brooklyn police that
they have never heard from Miss Herivel
since she reached this city. and the pub
llshed descriptions and photographs Of
the pieces OF clothing and the body lead
them to believe that it may be that Of
their daughter. They have sent a de-
tailed description OF the missing woman
TO the police and asked them to make an
investigation to ascertain whether the
body is Miss HeriveHs
II is expected that some one who knew
the young woman will come from Detroit
to try to identify the body. According
to the information furnished by the
parents of the missing Detroit woman.
she had an appointment to meet G. F.
Ivenson OF 174 Chambers street. this
city. and the detectives hope that he will
be able to throw some light on the
where abouts CT Miss Herivel.

WORK SLACK AT MAIL MORGUE
Fewer Missent Missives in Dead Let
ter Office Than Year Ago.

The mail morgue of the Post Office De-
partment has been less in demand the
past month than it was for the same
period year ago.
The report of the work accomplished in
the division of dead letters during the
month of July would seem to indicate that
the general public has made slight i'm
provement since last year in the amount
of care exercised in the dispatch of mail
matter. At any rate. 1O1.2 fewer pieces
Of mail were received at the dead letter
Office in July. 1908. than during July 1877,
when the total received during the month
was 1.O4. 90.
or the 932.9S3 pieces of mail received
in July. 1908. 3S1 .OJO were returned ito
senders.
It was necessary for postal officers to
send to the dead letter office for dispo-
sition during the month an aggregate of
$4.624.O5. of which amount $37S6.A was
restored to the senders.

Something About Zeppelin.


Count Zeppelin is seventy years old
and a retired army officer. He was
twenty-five years old when he was do.
tailed as a lieutenant of cavalry TO OBJ
servation duty with the Union army In
the American civil war. He accom-
panied the cavalry brigade commanded
by Carl Schurz. and his first balloon
ascent, 1T is said. was made in cap
tive balloon sent up to observe the
Confederate line. After the Austro-
Prussian war and the war with France.
in both of which he served with dis
tinguished honors he found himself re-
tired as a general. Then IL was that he
began to devote himself to solving the
problem Of aerial navigation.
Comments of Experts.
Gen. James Allen. chief OF the Signal
Corps. commenting on the mishap to
the Zeppelin airship. said:
ITO my mind il means that the rigid
dirigible can never be used except as a
fortress balloon. Our balloons are all
of the collapsible type. The French
use the semi-rigid type. Both the Ger
mans and the French now have had acci-
dents which / believe could never have
happened with the type with which we
are experimenting. With a dirigible
like the Baldwin We could stop the
pounding long before real damage
could result Our ordinary free bal
the top from which the gas can be let
out in few minutes. but each has a
rip valve, by which the gas can he
let out in 2 few seconds. In the Yep
pelin ship the aluminium skin made
il impossible for the gas bags to be
ripped open. All the American army
balloons are operated on the principle
that the surest way to save them is to
debate them"
Capt Baldwin said:
ITS a great blow to aerial sport and
science hope Il won't retard the
present onward movement. My fear is
that il will give some folks a fright.
It is only one of those things that may
occur In railroading or on the seas as
we'll as aloft."
Prof. King said
1T is too bad. But good will come Of
IL all. l predict there will be q great
popular subscription to carry on Zep-
pelin's work IL the German governmone
does not itself help him."
