BERLIN, April 1.--Grave fears
are entertained today for the
safety of Count Zeppelin, the fam
GUS aeronaut, and party OF
fourteen friends, who made an
ascent this morning at sunrise al
Friederichafen and attempted q
fight to Munich, in the new mon.
ster Zeppelin airship.
The great dirigible balloon was
caught in a fierce gale that sprane
up soon after the ascent.
The airship was driven by the
storm to a point near Munich and
was sighted this evening, after
having been missing more than
ten hours.
Though Munish was the counts
destination, he evidently could
not control the great craft in the
storm and made no attempt to
descend.
Zeppelin steered the ship about
and started to return toward
Friedrichafen, distance of IL
miles, but could make little or no
headway against the wind.
When last seen the ship was
driving rapidly in a Northwestern
ly direction from Munich. The
city authorities are following it
as best they can in automobiles
and several squadrons of cavalry
also have been ordered to follow
as closely as possible.

LANDS AFTER BATTLE
OF THIRTEEN HOURS

DINGOLFINGE, April l.
After a battle of thirteen
hours, with adverse winds,
with one motor out of COM
mission, Count Zeppelin land
ed his great airship near here
late this afternoon. The ac-
cident to the motor caused
the ships helplessness. The
forward motor worked well
but 1t did not produce suf-
ficient power to drive the ship
against the air currents,
which at times reached great
velocity.
Count Zeppelin's mastefful
management of the crippled
airship in the face of the
windstorm. is proclaimed one
of the most wonderful feats
of aerial navigation the world
has seen.

BURGLAR
AWAY
Invader in Tacoma Home
Is Put to Flight by
Nightgowned
Citizen.

A gum-shoe artist who appar-
emily takes great delight in rum
ming dire risk OF getting his hide
shot full of holes was put put to
rout from the home of Frank M.
Osborne. 1908 South G, last even-
ing, and given a scare which he
will not soon forget.
Mr.. Osborne had gone to bed
early, leaving the front door un-
latched for his wife and daughter,
who had gone to church. Before
he had quite fallen to sleep. Mr..
Osborne heard the bedroom door
softly open, and saw the dim out
line of man standing In the
doorway. The next instant Q
tiny ray of light shot from flash
lantern held In the intruder's
hand.
With yell, the nightgowned
man-of-the-house sprang from his
bed, and dashed at the burglar,
but swiftly and noiselessly the
other sped down the hall and
through the half-open front door.
The gum-shoe operator managed
to seize silk kimono of Mrs.
Osborne's from a chair In the
bedroom before making his dash
for freedom.
Neighbors on either side OF the
Osborne residence told the police
today that someone had evidently
tried to pry open their windows
during the night, as there were
several scratches at the base Of
the window sashes.
From the similarity of other re-
ports, police officers believe that
this same burglar is responsible
for several other "house-prowl-
ings" of recent date.

RA|lR0RDs MAKE
MONEY UNDER
2-CENT LAW

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo-, April
1.-Two cents fares have earned
more money for the railroads
than the three cent rate did, ac-
cording to a statement made by
Attorney General Elliot Major of
Missouri, who Is on record today
as favoring the lower figures.
Major declared that II the rail-
roads carried out their announced
plan of putting into effect on
April 10 the three cent fare, the
Missouri legislature will receive,
on April IL, a bill compelling the
corporations to publish itemized
statements of their receipts.
These are the gains over the
old rates, as claimed by Major
Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe,
800; Chicago & Alton, $500;
Missouri Pacific, $4,000.

BANKS WON 7 TAKE
CITY WATER WARRANTS

The mayor, controller, treasur.
er and president of the council,
constituting the sinking fund COM
mission of the city, are this after
noon holding a conference trying
to reach some way to finance the
waterworks improvements now
going forward.
The slip in the law passed by
the recent legislature which ex-
cludes cities of over 5000 per-
sons from participating in the
provision allowing the treasurer
to receive warrants as collateral
for deposits in banks caused the
local banks to refuse to take the
$25O,000 of water warrants for
water improvements.
The work is going ahead on
part of the program and the mon
ey must be on hand soon to pay
up with. Next week also bids are
to be received for the building OF
the new standpipe.
The hanks have agreed to take
the warrants II the city Will pay
Its surety bond charges amount
Iing to 81 800 4 year. This would
Be d bonus On tie warrants.
Some Of the city officials think
the better plan would be for the
city to borrow the cash from the
other funds where there "a plenty
OF money and pay for the Inn
provcments and then pay It back
from the water receipts. This
would not only save the 81 300
bonus given the banks but would
also save $1b,000 . year OF the
interest on warrants.
There ID possibility that some
private citizens may take up at
least 3 portion OF the warrants
and II they do THIS Will solve the
problem.
