Count Zeppelin and his dirigible

Berlin. Oct. 30.-The explosion re-
Gently of Count Zeppelin's latest and
greatest dirgible balloon, the LIZ, raises
the question whether dirigibles ever will
be practical for use in war. The an
swer seems to be in the negative, at
least unless some great improvements
are made in the lighter than air ma
chine.
Zeppelin's airships have all been
failures. No fewer than seven of them
have been destroyed by fire, explosions
or wreck. Zeppelin 1, II and VI,
Deutschland 1 and II and now the LII
and LIZ, the first big airships attached
to the German navy, have met with
disaster in this way. AT the close of
the soldier-count's long life of triumph
and despair he is likely to pass on and
leave little save his remarkable record
of things unful1lled.
In the first blush of Zeppelin's
achievements it seemed to the unitia-
ted that the air had indeed been con-
quered; that man had at last attained
the dream of every century. And then,
on top of each success came disaster
and men changed their mind and their
leanings.
Zeppelin began first to dream of
flying when he was a lad of 49, study
ing for the army; but it was not until
1898, when he was bO, tnat ne MADE MS
first flights in the earliest model of the
now universally known Zeppelin ship.
1t was not until two years later that
any real attempt at flying was made.
Then. on July 2, 1900, he emerged from
his floating shed on Lake Constance,
between Germany and Switzerland
and flew over the surface of the lake
for about 20 minutes. In all about 334
miles had been traversed, the longest
flight by QirigiDle I'D to that time.
During the next nine years Yep
pelin worked continuously but with in
different success. Finally, in April,
1909, with every mans judgment
against him, his last fortunes invested
and his life at the flush of its ebbing,

offices and vast funds, for their sole
use and benefit.
Are No Precedents
Washington, Oct 30.-fhere are no
presidents for the supreme court re-
viewing impeachment proceedings as
such. The injunction proceedings filed
in New York today might come to
the highest court for review on the
contention that federal constitutional
rights had been denied to Sulzer For
that much there is legal provision for
a supreme court review. Should the
case be forwarded from the lower
court, it undoubtedly would be expe-
dited; otherwise a decision would not
be reported in regular course much
under the three years.

stances he had witnessed in which acct
dents were narrowly avoided by careless
automobile drivers in passing street cars.
In one instance a woman while standing
on the steps of u car was brushed by the
Tender of an automobile and the driver
was so careless he passed without even
knowing he had endangered anyone. It
was also suggested that regulations be
adopted against the high power auto
lights, requiring that they be dimmed
either by an apparatus which turns down
the light, or another which turns a shad-
ed glass in front of the lamp. Many of
the lights now used are so powerful their
glare blinds a person.

Thieves
Rob Dental Office In The
City Of Mansfield

Dental thieves again paid Mansfield
a visit Wednesday night and robbed
the Office Of the Union Painless den-
lists in the Bowers building on West
Fourth street and the Office Of Dr. w.
II. Wolford in the Blymer building,
says the Mansfield News About 500
worth OF gold was taken from the VOL
ford Office and between $50 and $50
worth from the Union Painless dental
Office. Entrance to each place was
made through the transom This
makes the second time each of these
Offices have been robbed.
At the Office OF the Union Painless
dentists the thieves used step-ladder
belonging to the Office and which was
left standing in the hall The transom
through which the man crawled had
not been opened for some time and
dust had accumulated on the outside.
1t could be seen this morning where
the mans coat brushed through the
dust. He also left his finger marks
on the glass. The office was robbed
of gold scrap, bridge work, etc, but
the robber left about $25 worth Of
gold in the acid bowl and took and old
sample model which had little or no
value. Mrs. Brown, the owner of the
Office. had left $500 worth OF pearls in
the cabinet which was robbed of the
gold, but the thief overlooked these,
evidently not expecting to find pearls
In a dental Office. The lock OF the cab.
met had been picked and the other
con.ents taken. Mrs. Brown had no
insurance on her goods.
At the ONCE of DR.. Wolford, the
thieves came in through the transom.
DR.. Wolford has secreted the gold
and the work in different places but 1t
was ferreted out by the dental burg.
lars who managed to find 500 worth
of sold leaf, finished work and plate.
Last October DR.. Wolford was robbed
OF gold and finished work amounting
to $50. No other dentists have re.
ported anything missing today.

Flood In March

oiher Suggestions Made By
Engineer In His Report

Mayor A. A. Perrine on Friday
morning received the following letter
From Capt. Fiske Of the Corps Of En-.
gineers of the United States Army,
relative to the result Of their inspec.
ton in Mt. Vernon and vicinity Of
the damage done by the food in the
month OF March
The Mayor,
Mt. Vernon, Ohio.
Dear Sir:
AS a result of the inspection Of the
damage done by the floods in your
city and vicinity we have reached
the following conclusions:
1t appears that at Mt. Vernon the
most serious damage was due to
strong currents. Such currents the
board has found in its Investigations
were almost always caused by the
banking up of water due to artificial
contraction Of the waterways and this
condition can be remedied by the re-
moval of these distractions and res.
toration OF the channel to something
like its origianl condition. The
method therefore Indicated for relief
in your city is widening and clear
ing Of the river channel. removal Of
obstructive bars, lenghtening bridge
spans and so on.
OF the obstructive features In your
city, the masonry arch bridge near
the railroad station Is probably the
chief offender and any plans for clear
ing the river channel should include
4 method of widening and increasing
the waterway at this point.
A complete solution of the flood
problem will take long time but we
appreciate that you do not wish to
waste two years or more before re-
building your bridge and we think
that we have sufficient information to
enable us to pass intelligently upon
plans for reconstruction and deter
mining. with at least approximate cor.
rectness. the proper dimensions to be
adopted.
Owing to the great number of places
requesting relief the board finds 1t
impossible to draw up plans for each
particular locality and must expect In
this particular the assistance OF local
engineers. II, therefore, your city or
county engineer will submit plans on
the lines Indicated above, the board
will discuss them, making such criti.
cisms and suggestions as seem proper.
Upon approval you will then be en-
abled to 60 ahead with your work as
soon as you desire. This plan l may
add has been followed with good re-
suits in other places. Plans for Col.
umbus nave already been submitted
and will be passed upon by the board
ON Monday, May 18th, after which
work may 60 on as soon as the citi-
xens desire.
For and in the absence Of 1t. Col.

Very respectfully.
