Zeppelin VI Destroyed.

Berlin, Sept. 14.-Thc airship Yep
peln VI has been destroyed by fire ut
Baden. The big balloon, the latest
creation OF Zeppelin, was returning
from trip to Hcilbronn. The fire
broke out just before the balloon reach
ed the shed built for its accommodation
on the outskirts OF Baden. There was
terrific explosion and the flames
mounted to tremendous height alarm
ing the entire city.
Three of the crew were badly injured.
No passengers were aboard the airshiP.
The fire resulted from motor eNplo-
sion in the rear OF one Of three cars
that were suspended from the frame
work. The vessel was destroyed.
Within five minutes OF the explosion
nothing was left of the balloon but a
hopelessly wrecked framework, clogged
with molten m tai. The balloon shed
also caught fire but was saved. Tho
passengers had embarked ten minutes
before the explosion occurred. Tolay'>
accident will no doubt mark the end Of
the Zeppelin type OF airship, as mum.
erous accidents have thoroughly dis
credited it. Today's accident was tho
fourth serious mishap to Zeppelin''
diripibles.

Mr. RoosEyELr has been placed.

Mr.. ROOSEVELT has been placed.
He was once julius Cesar, Napoleon
Bonaparte, Alexander the Great and
perhaps even Washington of later
times. Many OF Mr.. Roosevclt's enc
mics have seen resemblances TO Caesar
and Napoleon in his acts, but it re-
manned for the ThcoSophic Society III
convention in Chicago properly TO classi-
fy and label him. T. II. Talbot declared
he had no doubt but the spirit OF
Roosevelt had schiercd prominence III
worlds affairs in other generations.
He declared his present status is even
greater than in the past ages, for It
has grown with The experience Of each
physical life. A study Of his character
shows, he asserted, that he has dc
yeloped his greatness, throug!i many
ages OF training. He is 4 great astral
master" said Talbot, "A master OF
men in every period in which he has
appeared. l do not have at hand the
astral name for Roosevelt, but he
probably lived in the person OF Alex
ander the Great, or Julius Caesar" Can
even Mr.. Roosevclt's blindcst admir-
ers refrain from laughing ut such stuff?

Iidcnt is Theodore Roosevelt that he and
his associates will control the republican
state convention which meets at Sara

began framing the platform which, he
expects to have adopted. This is to
be real progressive document and ii
will deal with nearly all of the state

When Rooscvclt's attention was
called to the fact that County Chair
man Criscom had all OF the county

cnsuring the success OF the delegates
from Great New York to the Roose-

Trial of DIR. Crippen.

pen 5 life today is literally hanging by
hair.
Under shrewd and merciless cross
examination today by Attorney Arthur
Newton, DR.. Pepper, the government
analysist, practically rerudiated much
of his former testimony and admitted
that it was impossible to determine the
sex OF the remains supposed to have
been the body of Belle Elmore Crippen
from an anatomical standpoint.
Is this the only way to determine
the sex Of body with certainty p

ply; ,, = :, =
the other government analysist, when
he declared at the inquest that it was
impossible to determine the sex of the
remains? asked Newton, drawing
nearer to the perturbed witness.
III admit that it was impossible to
determine the sex by any anatomical
study" replied Pepper.
Newton paused significantly after
this startling admission by Pep
per. The whole court room was
surprised mt the sensational turn in the
case. all believing that it marked an
early collapse of the prosecution. !:
Peppers admission leaves the ques-
ton OF the body's identity dependent
upon a few strands Of hair found in
curriers' near the body. another lock; OF
hair found knotted in mans hand
kcrchief, and the remnant Of a wom'
ans undervest.
The evidence OF the hair, however,
was rendered practically valueless by
Peppers admission that the hair found
in the curriers' was dark, while that in
the handkerchief was light and much
shorter than that in the curriers':
Pepper said the remains had prob
ably been buried under the cellar floor
for from five TO eight months. He
could not determine the cause Of death,
he said, from study Of the remains.
Today's developments tend 10 con
firm the opinion of many legal lights
that the defense will have no difficulty
in getting all the expert evidence it may
desire in its effort to show that the
dcntilcation OF the remains is i'm
possible.

corning the recent democratic primary
held in that district. and those charges
coming from such reliable sources could

cratic committee unanimously resolved
upon the course it took. A special
committee consisting of nine members

the charges OF corruption that have
been made and report, their findings TO
the state committee in Richmond on
