German Public to Show Appreciation
of Aeronaut's Successes.
Berlin, Aug. ,S-A national commit
tee has been formed at Stuttgart, un-
der the presidency of Prince Won Ho-
neutrality-suspicious., to raise pub
lie subscription for Count Zeppelin.
Already more than 375,OOO have been
raised and the promises received
reach double this amount. In addi-
ton TO the governmental, grant of
$125,o00 to Count Zeppelin for the con-
structicn of another airship, it ap-
pears probable that the count will be
given greater sum for the construc-
ton of new dirigible on the model
of the one that was destroyed Wednes.
day and for extensive experiments
with new ideas.
Kaiser Sends Message.
National pride has made the work
of Count Zeppelin it's own, and from
every city in the empire comes the
announcement of the opening of SUBJ
scription lists for Count Zeppelin.
The king of Wurtemberg called on
Count Zeppelin at his hotel in Freder-
ichshafen yesterday and conveyed to
the aeronaut the personal regret of
Emperor William over the destruction
of the counts airship.
Is Hopeless Wreck.
Echterdingen, Aug. S.-A visit to the
spot where the Zeppelin airship, only
two days ago the master of the air,
now lies hopeless wreck, would have
a saddening and depressing effect on
any one who had witnessed the ma
jestic flight of what was once the
most perfect balloon yet constructed.
Only one of the machinsts who wit
messed the explosion Wednesday could
be found at the scene yesterday. He
said the disaster was inexplicable.
Neither motor was working at the
time, and there was neither light nor
fire anywhere near the balloon.
1t is assumed that the strong con.
cussion to which the airship was SUBJ
jected by the whirlwind caused the
self-ignition of the hydrogen gas.

Manufacturers Make Sensational As.
sertions Before Department Heads.
Mackinac Island, Mich. Aug. 8. -
The result Of all the recent pure food
agitation has been to establish the
housewives claim that preservatives
are not needed in food products and
that the products are better when
prepared without the personalities
This much was admitted by the man.
ufacturers themselves in the closing
session of the convention of the asso.
citation of state and national food and
dairy departments.
In the past most manufacturers have
denied the presence of any great
amount of adulteration in foods and
have contended that chemicals in
small amounts were necessary to keep
them in a proper state of preserva-
ton.
Hence it was strange to see repre-
sentatives of certain manufacturing
interests take the floor and make
charges against food deliberations as
startling as ever were made by the
most radical food crusader, and i'm
plore the food officers to stop the use
of chemicals and coloriags in canned
foods. 1t is natural outcome of the
food law endorsements that those who
are complying with the law demand
that all others be made to do like
wise.

flIfS IKE MONSTER BIRD.
Capt. Baldwin Demonstrates the Use.
fulness Of an Airship ID
War Times.

Washington, Aug. s.-"we sighted
the enemy"
These words were shouted by Capt.
Baldwin at Fort Meyer yesterday as
he piloted his military balloon to the
ground after making successful
fight of nearly five miles in an effort
to demonstrate the usefulness Of an
airship in war times.
Rising from the ground like mon
ster bird Of the air, slowly but buoy
antly, at 6:21 O'Clock last evening, the
aerial ship, built for the United
States army, was headed into the
westerly wind by Capt. Baldwin.
Makes Complete Circle.
A complete circle was described,
the balloon rising gradually to a
height of 200 feet. Again pointing to
the west and attaining an estimated
speed of twelve miles an hour, the
ship voyaged in direct line for near
ly two miles, when the trip back was
begun. The wind was blowing at the
rate of seven miles an hour and the
ship flew along at speed of eighteen
or twenty miles an hour.
The dirigible was in the air seven,
teen minutes. At o'clock it was again
taken up for spin of four minutes,
circling round and round over the
starting point. During both flights the
airship was in perfect control, re.
spending to the rudder and the planes
beautifully.
Ready for Official Test.
With broad smile Capt. Baldwin
announced that the flight was satisfac-
tory in every respect. Tomorrow"
he said, I'VE will go after the money.
Everything is just as we thought it
was when we brought it here. The
horizontal rudders worked perfectly
and we made several maneuvers
which showed that everything is in
perfect condition. We are ready to
make the official test any time.'
Lieuts. Lahm and Eaulois of the sig.
nal corps were the only representa-
tives of the aeronautical department
present to witness the flights. After
landing from his second ascension
Capt. Baldwin notified Lieut.. Laflm
that he would be ready to make the
first official speed trial at o'clock
this evening.

Boy Did Not Return.
The boys waited half an hour for
their companion to return, but finally
got discouraged And left. That was
the last they saw of the lad until his
body was brought piecemeal to the
morgue. A weird touch was added

crack under the outer door of Mem

room is at 102 Mather street. @

dated frame building. 1t was here
that the police discovered two saws
and long knife, and on the bed what
seemed to be blood stains. Nemmer,
who spent most of yesterday undergo

station, explained the stain on the
bed by cut finger. and said that SINH

fact that he sawed soup bones with it.
Dozens of persons were interviewed
by the officers during the day, among
them being the fathers of several
youths, who had complained of Mem
