Pittsburg. Aug. 10.-By fling a
lpetit!on in bankruptcy Harry *.
1haw took the first steps to stop the
drain on his purse which has been
continuous since he killed Stanford
White. The lawyer and alienists
who thought they had found in
iThaw a juicy lemon from which
there flowed an endless stream of
Igold will whistle for most of their
money If the bankruptcy proceedings
are decided in favor of the slayer of
Stanford White. In his petition
fhaw gives his liabilities as s453,140
and his assets as S12S,.012. OF all
the claims against him only two are
Iundisputej. One is an insignificant
claim of $500 of Roger O'Marra for
detective work and the other is the
lall-signiticant claim of S191.500 of
lThaw's mother Mrs. Mary c. Thaw.

GERMAN ARSR|P 4 Wreck
Landed for Minor Repairs
When Storm Caused
1t to Explode.
ZEPPELIN IN TEARS
Machine Catches Firc-Crashcs to
Earth II Mass of Twisted Metal
Another Aerial Craft-Govern-
mcnt to Ala Him with Money.

Fricdrichafen, Germany, Aug. IL.
All the many months of weary lab
or Of Count Zeppelin went for naught
when the big dirigible ballon In
which he had started the previous
morning on record-Lreaking trip of
twenty-four hours, went up in col
umn OF flame. All tat is left of
the airship is pile of broken and
twisted metal lying in field near
Echterdingen.
Although the airship vanished in
a puff of smoke and burst of flame,
the hopes of Count Zeppelin did not
20 with it. He is broken-hearted
over his loss, but his grief has been
softened by the assurances that
money would be raised Immediately
TO enable him to build new balloon.
The Government already has sent
him s125,0OO with which t. continue
his experiments. and subscription
lists have been opened both in Ger
many and in Switzerland. In fact
the Counts secretary said that he
had begun the plans for a second bal
loon.
The destruction of the airsh,p
changed what had promised to be
day of jollification here into day Of
gloom. More than 100000 persons
had gathered in the streets of Fried
richshafen to greet the Homecoming
aeronaut.
The destruction of the ship came
as dramatic ending to a remarkable
fight. The ship had rounded May
ence and was almost in the last
stretch of its homeward journey.
When over Echterdingen Zeppelin
decided the vessel woul1 have to be
repaired in order to finish the jour
ney. He descended 20 land and the
ballon dropped gracefully into a field.
The balloon was anchored and the
engineers began making the neces-
sary repairs, while pedestrians, auto
nobilists and wagons loaded with
peasants tiocked to the vicinity. 1t
is estimated that the crowd around
the machine numbered nearly 10000
persons.
At 2, sS O'Clock p. NJ, for
midaDle gust of wind struck
the airship broadside. At first
the craft heeled over and then her
them number of soldiers who were
holding the ropes. After poising for
a moment at height of fifty feet tho
airship dashed forward against a
clump OF fruit trees. The impact
rprooted them. Then the airship re-
turned to earth even more suddenly
then it rose and crashed to the
ground.
With a thunderous noise the for
ward motor exploded. When the air
cleared the balloon was seen lying
in an open field on a high plateau
with only the ragged tangled strips
of the aluminium envelope still re-
naming. The metal stays and bands
and portions of the motor were
strewn about like old iron. blacken-
ed with smoke and burns.
Officers rushed forward anG found
that several soldiers had been hurt.
The four engineers who had occu-
pied the forward platform of the air.
ship had escaped death but were suf-
fering from injuries.

New England Candidates.
New Haven. Conn.,. June 3O.-On
the eve of his departure for the west
as delegate to the convention at Den
yer, Alexander Troup, one of Mr..
Bryan's closest friends in the east. to-
day made a statement concerning the
part Connecticut and New England
Will play at the convention.
New England will have two candi-
dates for the vice presidential nomina-
tion, former Governor Douglass of
Massachusetts and Archibald Mcneil
of Bridgeport, this state. The Con-
necticut delegation will be united for
Mr.. Mcneil. Our position is that the
vice presidential nominee should be
a man who can be one of the most
service to Mr.. Bryan. Mr.. Mcneil is
one of the men of means and business
who were loyal to the Democratic
ticket in 1906.
"Mr Mcneil has had assurances of
support from representative men in
the New England states. His business
interests outside of Connecticut are
largely with Pennsylvania, New Jersey
and New York and many of his busi-
ness acquaintances in those states
have assured him of support in his
ambitions. Assurances also come
from friends of Lieutenant Governor
Chanler that if Mr.. Chanler should
drop much influence would be diverted
to Mr. Mcneil.

speech has been left to the delega-
tion.

of New York and NJ. I. Bassett of
Cooperstown, who are attending him,
have almost abandoned hope. All the
prelate's relatives have been summon
ed to his bedside. His son, Alonzo
Potter, arrived last night, and Mrs.
Potter has been with the bishop al
most continuously since the first
alarming symptoms yesterday. Three
members of Mrs. Potter's family
Edward s. Clark, Stephen G. Clark
and Ambrose Clark, also are in Coop
erstown.
The patients illness dates from May
1, when he was attacked by a compli-
cation of stomach and liver trouble,
but 1t was not until early in June
that his condition became serious. On
June 10, he was taken to Coopers-
town in the hope that a change Of air
would benefit him. A marked turn
for the better resulted almost imme-
diately, but the oppressive heat Of the
past week counteracted this and yes
terday he suffered a dangerous re-
lapse.
The Right Rev. Henry Goldman Pot
ter is the seventh bishop of the Prot
estant Episcopal diocese of New York,
which post he has held for 25 years,

BLACKNIAHER Is HELD.
Robert Siever Charged With Threat
ening Nephew OF Barnato.

London, June 30.-Robert Siever,
who was arrested at the Sandown
track on aSturday on the charge OF
attempting to blackmail Jack" Joel,
a nephew of the late aBrney Barnato,
the Diamond King" was arraigned
in the Bow street police court yester-
day and remanded in custody, bail be-
ing refused. Siever is charged with
having threatened to publish in his
paper a defamatory article about Joel
unless the latter paid to him $4,000.
Most of the day was taken up by
the prosecuting counsers speech, the
gist of which was that after suffering
for years from the violent attacks
made on him in the columns of the
Winning Post, Joel had agreed to pay
Siever $4,000 If the latter void un-
dertake in writing to stop the annoy
ance. The contracts were arranged
through a supporting friend Of both
the parties concerned. The check
paid by Joel to Siever was produced In
evidence as was a copy Of warrant
issued for the arrest of Joel in 1884,
which Siever threatened to reproduce
in the Winning Post unless the money
was Forthcoming. The warrant which
the authorities subsequently withdrew
without serving charged Joel with IL
licit diamond buying. The court room
was crowded to suffocation all day.
