Board.

Berlin. The newest and largest OF
the Zeppelin war airships, the LII,

sion.
All except one Of the 81 military
men on board, including the entire

above the main street Of the city Of
Johannisthal while the big dirigible,
500 feet long, was making trial trip
preliminary to its acceptance as flag
ship of the new German aerial navy.
The shattered hulk Of the airship,
a mass of blazing canvas and crumpled
aluminium, dropped 900 feet into the
public highway.
Hundreds Of persons, who had been
watching the fight from parks and
housetops, rushed to the scene. There
was nothing to be done except take
out the dead bodies Of the victims
from the mass OF twisted wreckage.
Only Survivor Begs For Death.
Lieutenant Baron Won Bleul of the
Queen Augusta Grenadier Guards, who
was making the trip as a guest, was
the only survivor of the wreck. He
was badly injured and his condition
is critical and he begged to be killed.
Many of the bodies were so burned
and mangled as to be unacceptable.

BRITISH ACTION
IS SUSPICIOUS
Embarrassing to United States
Policy Toward Mexico.
AN EXPLANATION IS ASKED.
Presentation BY the British Ambas-
sador OF His Credentials On the
Very Day That Huerta Pro
claimed Himself Dictator.

Washington. While there was no
change in either the status of affairs
at Mexico City or the American policy,
an international phase of the Mexican
situation that attracts wide attention
is the formal inquiry made by Ambas-
sador Page at London as to what was
construed here as an unsympathetic
attitude toward the United States by
~Eir Lionel Garden, the British Minis
ter to Mexico.
1t is understood that the basis Of
the inquiry was a confidential report
to the State Department, the contents
of which were not divulged here. 1t
is known, however, that what par
ticularly displeased both President
Wilson and Secretary Bryan was the
presentation by Sir Lionel Of his Gre
dentials to, Provisional President
Huerta the very day after the latter
had proclaimed himself dictator The
American government felt that Huer-
ta's notification Of the Mexican con-
stitution not only by his arrest Of
the deputies, but by his assumption
of legislative powers had SO altered
affairs In the Mexican capital that the
British Minister might we'll have with
held his presentation OF. credentials.
Inquiry was directed to determine
whether the British foreign Office had
instructed Sir Lionel to present his
credentials Notwithstanding Huerta's
assumption of powers.
The explanation Of the British
foreign Office noted in press dis
patches that the presentation OF the
credentials was merely coincidence
and not antagonistic to the American
point Of view was not commented
upon by officials.
Diplomatic circles interpreted the
new development as strongly intimat-
ing to Europe the desire of the United
States to have free hand in dealing
with the Mexican problem.
London. - Walter H. Page, the
United States ambassador. discussed
the situation in Mexico with the off,
cials of the British Foreign Office.
The view Of the British government
is that the policy Of Sir Lionel Car
den, the British minister to Mexico, is
not aAtagonistic to the point of view
Of the United States, and it is pointed
out as merely a coincidence that Sir
Lionel Garden presented his Gre
dentials simultaneously with Pro-
visional President Huerta's declara-
ton Of a dictatorship.
The fact that Great Britain had
recognized Provisional President
Huerta rendered it necessary, it is
argued here, that the British Minister
should present his letters without de-
lay and SO obtain official standing.

WILSON TAKES
UP HER CASE
The President Will Decide Mrs.
Pankhurst's Fate.
HER ADMISSION PREDICTED.
After An Informal Hearing the Com
missioner Refuses To Release Her
on Bail Pending a Final
Decision.

Washington. The President of the
United States is to take hand in de-
Gliding the question of whether Mrs.
Emmeline Pankhurst, militant suf-
fragette Of England, shall be admitted
to this country.
President Wilson called confer
ence with Secretary Wilson, of the
Department Of Labor, and Commits
sioner General Caminetti, Of the I'M
migration Bureau. High government
officials who are believed to know the
attitude of the President predicted
that Mrs. Pankhurst would be ad-
mitted
Earlier in the day Commissioner
Caminetti after an informal hearing Of
! counsel had declined to release Mrs.
Pankhurst on bond from the Ellis Is
land immigration station, where she is
being confined pending final action on
her appeal from the order of deporta-
ton issued In New York.
Mr.. Caminetti informally sought the
advice Of his superiors on the ques-
lions at issue and applied to the White
House for a conference. The Presi-
dent has been taking a keen interest
In the case, realizing the important in
ternational phases of the question.
Though the statutes give the Secre-
tary of Labor final authority in immi-
grafton cases, presidents hitherto have
indicated the construction they desired
placed on such cases.

the exception Of Capt. Bernard Taylor
The other commissioned officers on

The wreck was caused by the en-.
CINE tender jumping the track when
about 200 feet from a trestle. The
engine was not derailed and passed
oyer the trestle. The tender broke
loose from the engine, however, and
with the baggage car and three
coaches plunged rs feet to the, ground.
There were 179 men in the detach-
ment and they were going to Meridian
to participate in the Mississippi-Al
bama Fair. Three officers were in
jured, but are reported not seriously
hurt.

were torn of almost at the hips, but
he was hurled clear of the wreckage.
For some moments the man, conscious,
lay In plain sight Of his wounded COM

pain, but wished he had time to smoke
cigarette.
At least 90 are expected to die from
their injuries, as they are seriously

Sixteen of the dead were brought
here. A company Of local militia was
called into service and lent its aid in
carrying the wounded from the coaches
Of the relief train and placing them in
the ambulances and wagons.

The officers club also was usually

consisted of a dozen soldiers, fully

Meanwhile weird Chinese music

The Moros as rule wore skin tight

were also Javanese and East Indian
