EXPLOSION WRECkS ZEPPELIN BUILDING AND INJURIES
 MANY WORkMEN.
QUARTER MILLION LOSS
riame Shot One Hundred Feet Hi ah From MCter-Count Unnerved by This His Latest
 Misfortune,

Frledrichshafen, Germany, July 20. The ill fate that is following Count zeppelin was exhibited again when the gas works of his airship plant here blew up, injuring seven persons. The shock was terrific, blowing out the walls of the building, raging near by cottages and seriously damaging dirigibles in the hanger
 The explosion occurred about noon, the gaseometer blowing up. A flame shot to height of more than a hun dred feet, setting fire to the debris. For time the hanger on the lake ap- peared doomed.
 The report aroused the country for miles around, crowds focking to the scene. Physicians were summoned and a field hospital was constructed. Besides the seven seriously hurt, fully score of employees were slightly in jured.
 Coming on top of the recent wreck of the drigible this disaster appeared to unnerve the count greatly. The plant was needed for the reconstruc- tion of the wreck. The loss is prob ably S250000.

RIOT BREAKS UP REVIVAL
Tar and Feathers for Evangelist and Injunction Threatened Near
 Pittsburg, Pa.

Pittsburg, July 20.-A pentecostal revival at Homestead was broken up by a mob of 4,000 persons, the crowd having become disgusted at the sight of 40 men and women groveling for hours in the straw in front of the evangelist's platform. The mob turned off the lights in the big tent and then, switching them on again, broke into the circle of prostrate converts. Many persons were hurt in the rush for safety.
 Rev. F.. A. Fisher, the main eXhort- CT, asked Pittsburg court to restrain all persons from interfering with the meetings Threats of tar and feathers parties are being made by relatives of women attracted by the evangel- ists.

developed that the man was not Grip pen, although answering his descrip- tion very closely.
 More details of the methods said to have been used by Dr. Crippen in murdering his wife, Belle Elmore, are coming to light, and operatives from Scotland Yard declare the crime one of the most brutal in English annals.
 A large force of men with grappling hooks began dragging Regents canal in the hope of finding the missing head, feet and hands of the slain woman, torn with other portions of the flesh from the torso. Some of the detectives, however, believe Crippen dissolved the bones in a vat of sul- phurlc acid.
 The fiendish intelligence with which the crime was committed and the proof of murder wiped out stamps the missing physician as an abnor- mally acute criminal, the police say.
 They point out that Dr. Crippen' S initial stories of his wife's hurried trip to America and her subsequent death were sufficiently we'll told and so skilfully fabricated that the mur- der probably would not have been dis covered had not Dr. Crippen bolted with Miss Leneve, his typist, little

OPPRESSIVE RULE OF YOUNG TURKS AROUsES SPIRIT OF
 REVOLT IN LAND.
PRISONS ARE CROWDED
Lot of Citizens Of Ottoman Empire Not Improved u Constitutional Governmen ent-Martial Law
 at the Capital.

CCnstantinople, July 20.-A revolu- ton against the rule of the Young Turks is momentarily expected in Fur key and, strange as it may seem, the Turkish people are almost unit in praying for success for the reaction aries.
 It was just two years ago that the world was startled with the news that the Young Turks had marched into Constantinople, deposed Sultan Abdul Hamd, placed his brother on the O. toman throne and created a form of constitutional government, with a par lament, but the mass of the Turkish people has come to realize that their lot has not been improved by the change
 While the constitutional govern ment has swept away some of tho abuses which marked the absolute monarchy, it has brought down upon the Turkish people more and greater abuses. The parliamentary govern ment of the Young Turks is on empty shell.
 Martial law is still practiced in Constsntinople, so that persons mak- ing themselves politically objection able to the leaders of the Young Turk movement can be arrested and thrown into prison at will.
 Prisons Full.
 The Young Turks have exsrcised this power to the extreme and Con- stantnople prisons are overcrow6ed with independent thinkers. Those op- posed 10 the Young Turks committee are oppressed and maltreated just as ly as the Young Turks themselves Nv.e treated by the former sultan
 The people had grown to expect this oppression from an absolute mon- arch, but it gals when used by the Young Turks, who promised freedom. The revolutionary spirit is being fos- tered by thousands of reactionary off cials who lost wellpaying posts, by Mohammedan priests, who believe the new regime will lead to infidelity to the Moslem religion, and by true fol lowers of Abdul Hamid. who will go 10 any extreme to bring the deposed sultan back from Salonica. where he IS held prisoner by the Young Turks,
 The Young Turks assert the repres- slVe methods they are using are nee eSsary to combat these clements and saieguard the new constitution. Their enemies point out, however, that the iouhs Turks oppress not only the re dctloharles. but also the friends of hoerty and progress who cannot see events exactly as the Young Turks want them seen It is the persecu- uoh or the progressives that is wean- Ing away the greatest friends of the iouhg Turks and that promises to un- uermlne their rule to such an eXteIi ,n@' the revolt planned by Abdul fahlld friends will be successful.
