STIRS RACE HATRED.
Negro Fireman on Georgia Train Is
Cause of Rioting.

GduSG OF 6bOlIuSs
Atlanta, May 30-The first violence
to railroad property in the Georgia
railroad firemen's strike occurred
last night to moving freight at
Lithonia, Ga. In consequence the
race situation loomed more sharply
than ever, notwithstanding day of
much apparent progress toward set
tlement.
A negro fireman apparently was
the cause of the trouble. He was
rushed to Atlanta on an engine to
save him from a threatening situa-
ton. The trouble started in the
throwing of a stone or two and the
boarding of the freight by men who
set the brakes and broke it into three
sections. The freight now blocks the
main line and the progress of the
mails. Railroad officers declared last
night that the incident was the work
of sympathizers.
1t is believed that the railroad au-
thorities will attempt to clear the
track at Lithonia for the mail trains
today and that deputies will be used
to protect train crews.

an accomplished fact.

the Wallingford, Eastlake and other
lines leading from the downtown Sec

AIRSHIP COMES TO GRIEF.
While Maneuvering for a Landing
ship Comes in Contact With Tree.

Goeppingen, June 2.-After cover
ing $50 miles in 81 hours, Count Yep
pelin's new airship, on it's return trip
from Bitterfepd to Friedrichshafen,
came to grief in an open field near here
yesterday. In maneuvering for land
ing, the airship came into contact with
a tree, and it's position last night was
dangerous.
After much labor and with the as
sistance of some of those who had
gathered at the scene, Count Zeppelin
was able to shift the position of his
airship a little, and thus get better
protection from the wind.
Airship Badly Wrecked.
When the accident occurred Count
Zeppelin was landing for the purpose Of
replenishing his supply of benzine,
which was nearly exhausted. The mo-
tors already had stopped and the air
ship was nearing the ground on
meadow where a sudden strong puff of
wind drove the PROV out of its course
and against a pear tree. It struck with
a great crash, smashing the PROV
almost up to the front of the gOndOla
and crushing the aluminium stays into
a shareless mass which became in
eXtricably enmeshed in the branches.
Nearly a hundred feet of the envelope
and frame were destroyed.
Zeppelin Depressed.
Count Zeppelin Immediately came to
Goeppingen in an automobile and tele-
graphed to Ulm for pioneers and to
Friedrichshafen for worlmen to make
repairs. After resting for several
hours at a hotel he returned in the
evening to the scene Of the accident,
proceeding from there by automobile
to F'riedrichshafen. He will return
here today.
Repairs are now being made, but
these are of a temporary nature, where
by the airship may proceed to Fried
richshafen Permanent repairs prob
ably will require six weeks in order to
get the ship to Manzell. No one was
injured in the accident, but Count Yep
pelin has been much depressed over
the mishap.
