Hopklnsvllle. Ky. March 1.-The
report made by the legislative COM
mittee which Investigated military
affairs. or certain parts Of Il at least,
IS not meeting with very hearty
commendation through this part OF
Kentucky. Especially Is that part so
severely crlticises Governor Wilson,
for putting soldiers into the field
against the night riders. being not
indorsed, but Is more generally con-
domned, and this by Democrats as
well as Republicans. indicative OF
this spirit Is the outspoken defense OF
the governor and the soldiers. which
was made in Saturdays issue of the
Hopkinsyille Kentuckian in a column
editorial from the pen of Mayor
Charles VI. Meacham.
When the night rider troubles were
at their height. and especially In the
saturnalla Of lawlessness that follow
ed the raid made on this city on De
cember Z, 1907. many papers, !rre-
spectlye OF party Affiliations all
through this part OF the state. called
on Governor Wilson to put a stop TO
the lawlessness that was bringing
such disgrace upon the state. II was
demanded OF the governor that he
put forth all the powers of the state
TO subdue the outlaws. and the gen.
eral opinion was expressed that II
would be money well spent II the
state treasury should be bankrupted

Not Such Large Sum.

And when the soldiers were with
drawn. after nearly a years service,
during which camps at many places
had been maintained. horses for the
use Of the soldiers were hired and the
heavy expense entailing upon such a
campaign had been met, the total
outlay Of state funds, according to
the committee report, was only
S1S9,OOO. Not such a large sum
when It Is remembered that Demo-
Gratis and Republicans alike had
called upon the governor to bankrupt
the state, II necessary. Just 30 the
night riding was put down. On the
other hard the price paid is regarded
as very cheap for the great results
accomplished.
SO that part, at least, of the re-
port that deals with the night rider
feature does not meet with much
favor In this section. Some have
grievances against the governor in
other matters. and in such cases are
free TO speak their dlsapproval OF his
actions. but OF his night rider policy
the situation is different and, out
side Of those opposed to him on pure
ly political grounds or on general
principles. and who are therefore
ooking for any cause for which TO
censure him. there Is a wide senti-
ment In the governors favor and
against that portion of the commit
tees report. In this Democrats unite
with Republicans. for they look at
the governors actions during those
times that tried mems souls as the
wise and proper methods to be en-
ployed. and not through the more sell
fish and narrow eyes of politics. AZ
this part OF the report is to be made
an, issue in the next campaign. II will
probably be boomerang to the par

LIMBURG-AN-DER- Prussia,
April 25.-The Zeppelin II, one of the
three dirigible balloons of the German
governments aerial fleet, ran away to-
day and was destroyed. The airship was
forced to descend here Sunday night
owing to storm encountered while at
tempting a return trip from Hamburg
to Cologne. 1t broke its mOorings and
without crew, drifted in northeastern

Zeppelin II. started out bravely but
was forced to descend here late in the
day. At noon the gasbag was refilled
and the journey to Cologne was about to
be resumed when a sudden squat tore
the dirigible from its moorings, tossed
it about the air for thirty minutes and
then dropped it with a bang that put
an end to the monsters career
Two companies of infantry made flu

the gasbags were torn and the mech

CHARITY COLLECTIONS
New York Legislators Favor Some Sys-
tenn of Account
counting.

NEW YORK, April 23.-A bill has
been introduced in the Legislature of
New York by Assemblyman James j.
Hoey, providing for an accounting to
the state board of charities of all char
ity funds raised by popular subscription.
How essential it is that there should
be some check upon activity in solicit
ing for charity has been often illustrat-
ed not only in New York city but else
where by instances in which collectors
of funds for various worthy and pop
ular objects have practically treated the
whole of the money they received or
what part they chose of it as if it were
their own.
The case of the late Dr. Louis Klopsch,
editor of the Christian Herald, is attract
ing attention by reason of the enormous
sums he handled and the circumstance
that whatever money came into his pos
session for any purpose he banked III
his own name.
The relief funds raised by DR.. Klopsch
and the Christian Herald which attract
ed most attention were as follows:
Russian famine, $4,000.
Finnish famine, $4,000.
Two Indian famines, 100000.
Chinese famine. 100000.
Italian earthquake sufferers, $6O,OOO..
Both the Bowery Mission and the
CnllQren Home at NydCk were CoL-
porations, dominated absolutely by DR..
Klopsch. Most of the other directors
had died, and their places remained I'M
filled.
John c. Earl, who for twenty years
has been confidential man of DR..
Klopsch, has confirmed to a newspaper
the report that all the vast amount of
money collected by DR.. Klopsch were
banked in his own name. He added:
THE statement that l have a claim
against the periodical, and that because
it was rejected l turned against it, is
also false. | have no claim. Neither is
it true that 1 was promised stock in
the paper, which was not given me. The
Christian Herald is not a corporation,
but simply the property of Mrs. Klopsch,
to whom its late editor willed every
thing"
AS secretary of the Bowery Mission,
Mr.. Earl seems to have come into a
clash with the son of DR.. Klopsch.

TWAIN LAID AT REST.
Brief and Simple Rites Are Conducted at
Elmira, N. Y, for Dead
Humorist.

ELMIRA, n. Y, April 25.-A little
group of mourners stood in tent In
Woodlawn cemetery Sunday and
watched as, in the rain, the body of
Samuel L. Clemens was lowered into a
grave beside the bodies of his wife and
children.
Rev. Samuel E. Eastman, pastor of
Park church and friend of the humorist,
conducted brief service before the
burial.
There were present only members of
the family party, who came from New
York with the body, a former governess
of the Clemens family, two of her
friends, the sexton and half dozen
newspaper men.
Services previously had been held at
fine residence of Gen. Charles ]. Lang
don. where forty years ago Mark Twain
married the generals sister. In keeping
with Mr. Clemens wish, the ceremony
was simple. There was no music, no
honorary pail bearers-just brief ad-
dress and prayer by DR.. Eastman.
The body lay in state in the pariot
where the humorist was married, and
some of those who attended the wedding
were there today to look for the last
time upon the face of their friend
