GERMAN AIRSHIP BURNS
Count Zeppelin's Craft Destroy
ed After Remarkable Voyage.
INVENTOR TO GET $4,000
Although Contract Was Not Fulfilled
German Government viii Pay
For Machine.

Stuttgart, Germany. During {,
storm the Zeppelin airship broke
away from its moorings, took fre and
disappeared in the air. Several per.
sons were injured. Count Zeppelin.
however, Is safe.
A chapter of accidents occasioned
by bad moods of nature and the fail.
ure Of mechanical appliances combin.
ed was responsible for the untimsly
end OF the balloon, the flights Of which
have held the attention of the world.
The Zeppelin airship had just com.
pleted the most remarkable voyage in
the history Of aerial navigation. The
iighs was successful in q great many
ways. The machine responded abso.
lutely to the control Of its pilots, and
was navigated over the Lake Of Con-
stance, down the valley Of the Rhine.
over Strassburg and several other cit.
les, and was returning to Friedrich
shafen, its starting point, when the
accident happened.
An explanation of the accident BY
experts is that probably one Of the
balloonettes of which the immense en-.
velope was constructed, burst, and Q
spark from the motor iSnited the gas
when the balloon was carried into the
air.
Count Zeppelin has devoted his life
time and his personal fortune to the
development Of his airships. The ves-
sci that was lost was the fourth he
had constructed. When his money
had become exhausted the German
reichstag voted him $125,000 to con-
duct further experiments, and number
four was the result. The German
government agreed to purchase this
ship on condition that 1t fulfilled Ger.
tain requirements, the principal one
being that 1t remain in the air "a
hours and land on terra Hrma. This
stipulation has not yet been fulfilled.
But, on learning Of the accident to
the airship, DR.. Won Bethmann-Hel-
veg, imperial secretary Of state for
the interior, after a consultation with
his colleagues, decided to forward to
Count Zeppelin $125.o0o, the proposed
estimate In the imperial budget for
aeronautic experiments, as a reward
for the counts many years Of sacri-
fee Of this character in the interest
