cessitate a suspension for several
months of the advertised excursions.
Dusseldorf, July 1.-Count Zeppe-
Inns passenger airship Deutschland, the
highest developed of all the famous
%aeronaut models, lies on top of the
Teutoburgian forest, pierced with pine
tree stems, a mass of Debated silk and
twisted aluminium. The SO persons
aboard the airship yesterday when 1t
rested on the limbs, after a wild con-
test with a storm, escaped uninjured,
climbing down from the wreck or a
rope ladder to the tree tops.
The airship for which a company had
Just paid $137, 500 looked like a wreck.
The frames were broken, but the mo-
tors were not damaged. The silk was
ripped and had fallen in a torn mass
on the tops of the trees.
The disaster occurred at $3.50 O'Clock
in the evening. The early part of the
flight was delightful, much like auto
MODELLING, without the Earring. The
airship maintained an altitude of about
500 feet and during the first hour or
two the passengers felt contempt for
the trains rumbling down below and
spoke of automobiles as out Of date.
This was when the airship was sweep
ing gently across the country, but dur
ing the height of the storm the con-
sciences Of those aboard were not so
easy.

sion Hands Down Decisions
in Favor of Shippers.

Washington, July decisions were
handed down today by the Interstate
Commerce commission. countrywide in
Importance. They affect freight rates
both class and commodity-on all
trans-continental lines operating be-
tween the Atlantic and Pacific oceans.
Extensive reductions were ordered.
The decisions are in what popularity
are known as the Pacific coast cases.
The cases We're heard last autumn by
the commission on it's six weeks trip
to the Pacific coast and intermountain
territory and have been under consid-
GRAFTON ever since. The commission
realized the immense Importance of the
cases, not only to the railroads, but to
the shipping public, and 1t prepared
Its opinions with the greatest care.
Reductions in All Gases.
In every instance reductions in the
rates complained Of were made and in
some instances they amounted to near
ly so per cent. The commission found
through it's inquiry a remarkable rate
situation existing on the Pacific coast.
and even a more remarkable n in the
intermountain territory. Notably true
of the rates to and from Spokane,
Wash, and Reno, New.
The Spokane rate case had been be-
fore the commission in one form or an
UlHeT lOE ScNGEdl years. lie SllippSES
Of hat city complained insistently of
the rates which they were charged on
freight classes and commodities from
eastern points of Oregon, because
they were required to pay the Pacific
coast terminal rates, plus the local
rates back to Spokane from those ter
minals, although the freight was dis
charged at Spokane 81 the railroads
on the western trip.
Neveda Hard Hit.
Subsequently the same state of affairs
existed at Reno and other Nevada
points which had to pay the rates to
San Francisco and the back-haul local
rates from San Francisco or Sacrament
to to the point of ultimate destination.
These local rates in most instances
amounted to two-ffths or more of the
entire rate from eastern points of origin
to Pacific coast terminals.
AS noted above the decisions of the
commission in these cases affect all
class and commodity rates between
eastern points n the far west. No
complaint was made in any of the
cases of the rates of the eastern lines
between Atlantic points and Mississippi
river transfers and all of the reductions
ordered by the commission affected the
rates from Mississippi river and Mis-
souri, river transfer points to coast ter
minals and intermountain territorial
points.
Present class freight rates between
Utah common points and Mississippi
and Missouri river transfer points are
found by the commission to be excess
sive, and they are ordered to be re-
duced about IS per cent.
