COUNT ZEPPELIN CONsoLED.
German Emperor Telegraphs His Sor.
 row Over Airship's Loss.

Friedrichshafen, Aug 6.-The king of Wortemburg called on Count Zep- pelin at his hotel here to-day and conveyed to the aeronaut Emperor Williams regret over the destruction yesterday of the counts airship at Echterdingen. The emperor tele- graphed: T have heard with the deepest regret of the destruction of your balloon by storm and I wish you to know of my cordial sympathy since l and all Germany thought we had every reason to be- lieve we could congratulate you on the glorious realization of your splen- did epoch-making achievement. New ertheless what you have accomplished must be recognized as of the highest order and this must be a comfort to you in this catastrophe.
 In addition to the governmental grant of $125,000 to Count Zeppelin for building another airship the count doubtless will be given even a greater sum for the construction of new dirigible on the model of the one that was destroyed yesterday and for new experiments.
 Almost every city in the empire has opened public subscriptions to raise money for the count.

 Milwaukee Girl.

New York, Aug 6.-That the charred body of a young woman found on half burned mattress on refuse dump in Greenpoint more than week ago may be that of Detroit, Mich, girl who came to New York in search of employ ment is the latest police theory. Miss Annie Herivel, aged 27, stenog- rapher, who came from Detroit to this city few days before the dis coyery of the body on July 29 is the missing woman. Her parents in Detroit have notified the Brooklyn police that they have never heard rom Miss Herivel since she reach ed this city and the published de, scrlptlons and photographs of the pieces of clothing and the body lead mem to believe that it may be that of their daughter. It is expected that some one who knew the young women will come from Detroit to try to Identify the body.
 According to the information fur nlshed by ihe parents of the missing Detroit woman, she had an appoint ment to meet c. F. Ivenson, of 174 Chambers street, this city, and the detectives hope that he will be able to throw some ligh. on the where abouts of Miss Heriyal.

 President Tooseyo.t is short-sight- ed enough to want 10 shut off talk of class eopecibusness he said. This IS because he doesn't want the work ingnien to b. Jnse conscious ot their ow, interesss. for if they dc they would throw Roosevelt out of office and the rest of his tribe"

MAN ACCUSED BY GIRL.
Her Father Leaps Upon Baker and
 Tries to Choke Him to Death,

Trenton, N. J. Aug. 6-Harvey Baker, one of the best known resi- dents of Trenton, was nearly mur- derer yesterday by Thomas Mathais at the trial of Baker on a charge of having abused nine-year-old Ada Mathais in the stock room of the East Trenton Machine Works, of which Baker is superintendent.
 At the time of Bakers arrest Mathais tried to get a mob to lynch Baker. When the prioner was ar raigned in the Central Police court yesterday Mathais got Baker by the throat, and despite the efforts of policemen, he retained what seemed to be death hold and it looked for time as if Baker would be killed.
 Finally Matthias was taken away exhausted. As the prisoner was led back to his cell the fathers last words were that he would take his life at the first opportunity.
 The excitement in the crowded court room was so great that 1t was necessary to call out an extra force of police to quell 1t.

ACCEPT THE DEFI
New England Will Be Made a BallIegrouDd By The
 Democrats
THE BEST SPEAKERS

New Haven, Aug 6.-Alexander Troup, president of the New England Democratic Progressive league, to- day issued a call for the yice-presi- dents and members of the executive committee of the league to meet at the Quincy house, Boston, Tuesday, August II, at 12:30 noon ito take into consideration the political situa- tion in New England, and devise ways and means for propaganda work"
 The call further says:
 'The vice-presidents and executive committee men will extend invita- tions to all progressive democrats in their various states to meet with them. It is hoped there will be 8 large attendance.
 "The work of the progressive league will be supplemental to the work of the state, county, city and town committees. It will be educa- tional in character, arranging for meetings, debates, formation of clubs, etc The league-as a league-will take no part in nominations that be- ing left to the regular organization but win support and help to elect the candidates nominated in the regular conventions of the democratic party.
 There should be active work throughout New England and it should commence at once. At Dem yer Il of so delegates from New Eng land voted for the nomination of Will liam Jennings Bryan for president and the league should put forward its best efforts to have every democrat and independent vote in New Eng land boiled for Bryan and Kern in November"
 In issuing the call Mir Troup said:
 Chairman Hitchcock of the re- publican committee has stated that New England was all right for the republican ticket. That 1t did not need any attention, that work would be centered in the west and middle west. It is our intention to make MT Hitchcock divide his work be- tween the east and west instead of permitting him to concentrate eff forts in the west. We intend to. show him that New England is a good field for the democrats. Arrangements are being made to bring into Now Eng land democratic speakers of national prominence, and from the middle to the end of August these speakers will canvass Vermont from end to end in order to reduce to minimum the republican majority at the state election there. We are not so bold as to say that we hope to make the state democratic but we are going to get to the polls every democrat and every independent voter who believes In the principles of democracy. To help along the work we have called the summer outing of the progressive league for August 27, 2s and 29 at Burlington. which is just before the state election. We are going into the other states with speakers and we are going to make campaign in New England"
