WORDING IS CHANGED.
Requires" Substituted for Insists in
Thaw Requisition.

Concord, Oct. 29.--Counsel for
Harry x. Thaw said today that a
study of the new petition for the ex-
tradition of their client filed by the
legal representatives of the state of
New York reveals some changes in
wording from the original petition
which they are unable to understand
The new petition states that it appears
by the papers required by the statutes
of the United States a new phrase
that Thaw stands charged with a
crime for which the state of New
York requires instead of insists
as in the original petition that he be
delivered over to it's authority. In
the particular named the new docu-
ment is said to depart from the form
prescribed by agreement among the
states for many years.

sung by the usual concert singers. A
solo, Dreaming" was given by the
bass of the company, and Professor
Work sang Il Hear You Calling Me. )"
The entire quartette sang THE Rosary
and Mighty LAX Rose but the
chief interest in the evening centered
in the plantation songs, all of them
of a religious, or .semi-religious nature.
They display a wealth of melody of
which the voices of the negro singers
of last night were interesting opponents
and they are illuminating in their reve-
lation of the hope that survived in the
hearts of a race fast bound in misery
and irons" The most melodious of
the songs was given as a solo by Mrs.
Work, You May Bury Me in the East"
a song that was a favorite with the
founder of the Fisk university. Mrs.
Work has a deep contralto voice and
she sings with feeling. Among the
songs were: Suwanee River, My Soul
is a Witness, Steal Away, Were You
There, I Got cross.

JUST AN OVERSIGHT.
Cause of the Zeppelin Airship Explo-
sion Is Explained.

Berlin, Oct. 29.-The explosion of
the dirigible Zeppelin III on October
II, which cost the lives of % men, is
attributed in the official report today
to a partial vacuum formed in the
center gondola behind a new type of
windshield. This was used for the first
time on the airship, and it sucked the
gas escaping from beneath the alumni
mum structure of the dirigible into the
gondola, where it was exploded by a
spark from the motor.
The possibility of such suction had
been overlooked by the Zeppelin's
constructors, and the naval aeronautic
experts The shield is not to be used
