A WRECK
Count Zeppelin's Sixth Dirigible
Balloon Is in Ruins.
All OF the Passengers and Crew
Escaped Injury.

Dusseldorf. May 1s.-After a ca
reer of six weeks. the Deutschland,
latest of the models of Count Zeppe-
Inns ill-fated dirigible balloons,
stranded today on the roof of its shed,
a total wreck. The crew and passen-
gers escaped injury. The finish of the
airship was less spectacular than that
G its predecessors but more complete.
The accident occurred as the Deutsch-
land was being released for a passen-
ger trip. Eight passengers, four men
and four women, had seated them
selves in the cabin. the crew were at
their posts and 200 men on the ground
clung to the guide ropes as the pow
erful craft slowly emerged from her
berth and under pressure of over a
half million cubic feet of gas, struggled
to be free.
|. Just as the airship cleared the shed
violent gust of wind drove her back
against the entrance. At the impact
released was destroyed her equiIib-
rum. The army of me nat the guide
ropes clung to them but were power
less against the wind and another gust
lifted the airship bodily. She dropped
on the roof of the shed, her back
broken and her hull left dangling over
one edge. In this position the crew
and passengers were left helpless until
a fire brigade, hurriedly summoned to
the scene. ran ladders to the top OF
the balloon shed andepu1ied them out
of the wreck.
The Deutschland was built to re-
place, in the passenger afrship service
the earlier craft of the same name
which went to her end in the Teuto-
burglar forest on June % last The
motors and the vertical storing places
of the original Deutschland were saved
and utilized in the construction of her
successor. The latter made her
maiden flight on March 80 last and
had since made a number of success
full trips Today was the sixth serious
accident which has befallen the Zep-
pelin dirigible. The Zeppelin I. Yep
pelin II, Zeppelin III, Zeppelin w, the
Deutschland and the New Deutschland
all have come to grief after short
though brilliant lives.

Court Begins Contempt Proceedings
Against Labor Leaders.

Washington, May 16.-The supreme
court OF the District of Columbia on
its own initiative today instituted pro-
ceedings for alleged contempt against
dent John Mitchell and Secretary
Frank Morrison of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor. The sentences of i'm
priSonment imposed on these men by
this court were yesterday revoked by
the United States supreme court and
the case remanded to the district su-
preme &C urt
Mr.. GomperS, when told of the ac-
tion of the district court said:
Justice Wright can go just as far
as he likes. He will find we are not
running away-not even from him.
The United States supreme court, in
setting aside the sentences of impris-
onment, held that the case on which
the lower court had acted constituted
a civil contempt case against the Bucks
Stove and Range company and the Of
fense was punishable only by a fine,
to be recovered by the wronged cor
poration. Justice Lamar in handing
the fact, however that if the lower
court felt aggrieved it could have
brought criminal contempt proceed
ings in the premises and have inflicted
a Jail sentence.
The opinion, in conclusion, reads:
Inc JuQRm entS or the court OF ap-
peals and the supreme court of the
District of Columbia are revoked and
the case remanded with direction that
the contempt proceedings instituted by
the Bucks Stove and Range company
be dismissed, but without prejudice to
the power and right of the supreme
court of the District of Columbia to
punish by a proper proceedings con-
tempt, If any was committed against
it,
The lower court has been quick to
take advantage of the opportunity af-
forded to reopen the case. AS the la
bor dispute which brought the case
into court had ended, it was presume ed
lthe matter would be allowed to drop.
Justice Wright of the district SUI

ceedings anew today, appointed Joseph

James NJ. Beck, counsel for the Bucks

mittee to inquire forthwith into the
question of whether the labor leaders
had violated the courts order.
The committee was instructed to re-

REBELS PILLAGE A TOWN.
Dynamite the Banks and Shoot and
Rob IndiscriminateIy.


Mexico City, May 16.-Rioting and
pillage took place at Pachuca during
the early hours following the surren-
der of the city to the revolut1on1sts
The rebels became drunk and def1eo
their commanders. The toWnspeople in
terror barricaded their homes and re-
mained concealed. The banks were
dynamited and looted.
Pachuca is a mining city of 10000
population, capital of the state OF HI
dalgo and 60 miles northeast of Mexico
City. Sunday night it fell into the
hands of the revolutionists under Col.
Castrejon, who is operating under the
direction OF General Figueroa.
fighting, the invaders swarming into
The capture was effected without
the city from surrounding hllI-sldes
and taking possession Of the govern
ment buildings without a shot being
fired Yesterday there was promise
that order would be maintained but
when the government authority had
been replaced by the revolutionists or
der gave way to license. During last
night many of the rebels helped them
selves literally to the saloon supply
and half crazed were soon out of hand.
The orders of their commanders were
defied. The rioters ran through the
streets shouting and shooting promis-
cuously The peaceful inhabitants were
terror stricken and hid themselves in
their homes, barring the doors and
windows. After a little the lawlessness
took the form of robbery. Charges OF
dynamite were placed under the walls
of the banks and exploded Wherever
entrance was effected the banks were
looted.
The rioters then turned their atten-
ton to the commercial houses which
were robbed of such of their stocks as
the mob wished to carry away. One
of the first acts of the rioters was to
force the doors Of the jails and release
the prisoners. Much of the subse-
uuent lawlessness is attributed to the
convicts thus made free.
This forenoon a semblance of order
had been restored due partially to the
exhaustion of the rioters after the
nights debauch. The town presents
pitiable spectacle. Many buildings have
been dynamited and others destroyed
or damaged by fire. Later adv1ces to-
day state that order has been restor-
ed in the city by 800 rebels under COM
mand of Gabriel Hernandez Three
hundred federals are en- route for the
scene on special trains and a battle Is
| imminent.

KEEP SWIMMING POOLS CLEAN.
Hypochlorite of Lime Found to Be
Cheapest and Most Sanitary.

Providence. r. L. May 16.-Recent
declarations by physicians OF the neces-
sity for keeping swimming pools in
sanitary condition by the use of some
adequate disinfectant, have led to q
series of tests by the athletic authori-
ties at Brown university. Distinction
by heat is declared to be out of the
question on account of the expense, but
the problem has apparently been solved
by the use of hypochlorite of lime.
The chemical was used in a strength
of one part available chlorine in two
million. After the hypochlorite had
been in the pool one hour, complete
sterility of the water was effected. The
pool remained practically sterile for
four days.
