WASHINGTON, Sept. 1o.-officlals

President Huerta would not be can
didate and that further there have
been no steps by the Huerta govern
ment looking toward an armistice

BERLIN. Sept. 10.--Urged by per-
sonal orders from the kaiser, torpedo
boats today searched the waters of
the North Sea for the bodies of the
fifteen men believed to have drowned
when the German naval Zeppelin LII
was sunk last night, eighteen miles
north of Heligoland. 1t has not been
definitely ascertained how many were
in the airship when she went down.
Seven men were rescued, as the craft
remained afoat nearly an hour and
the number of lost is placed at fifteen
on the estimate that there were twen-
ty-two men aboard.
The Ii is the fifth Zeppelin dirigible
to be destroyed but it's destruction
was the only one accompanied by
loss Of life. Count Zeppelin began his
experiments with the sort Of airship
that bears his name in the summer
OF 1908 and after two minor mishaps,
the Zeppelin was wrecked by wind,
then burned on Aug. 5, 1908. The
Zeppelin II was demolished by wind
on April %, 1909. The Deutschland
which was the next Zeppelin, was
wrecked in a forest in 1910 with a
number of persons aboard, all saved
The next one was destroyed while
entering the shed in 1910. The Deut
schland II was caught in a gale an6
smashed against the side of her shed
Among the distinguished victims. o,

lin, the aged inventor said he wa.
deeply affected by the loss of life il
the destruction of his latest airshil
but was not discouraged by the acci
dent. He declared 1t was wholly due
to the terrific windstorm In which thu
craft foundered and maintained tina
the disaster does not affect the sound
ness of his principles nor the practic
ability of his dirigibles. Two hydro
aeroplanes accompanying the ship il

Chairman Owen of the banking COM
mittee 1t was known brought the
president word that the poll of senate
majority members had shown almost
unanimous desire for immediate
action There are five of the nine

ence. "It will undoubtedly be passed
before November /. Not a minute
should be lost in considering the meas
ure. Business interests are now in
a position of uncertainty. 1t is due
to them that there shall be no re-
cess of congress and that the matter
should be disposed of as fast as pos
sible."
| The thfrty-eight hour talkfest on
the Glass currency measure which is

the measure was formally opened in

explanation of the bill by Representa-
tive Carter Glass, chairman of the
banking committee.
Sitting from II o'clock In the morn
ing until at night the preliminary
debate will be closed Sunday night
and on Monday will come the reading
of the bill for amendments. Declar
4 ing our present system Of currency
was barbarous, Glass charged the
house that it stood pledged to the
party to remedy it. The chief and
everlasting curse Of attempted bank
ing and currency reform has beensth
proneness Of public men to prosecute,
he said, in urging immediate action
toward passage of the measure TAX
ling up in details the provisions of the
bill Glass declared that the effort to
spread belief among the farmers that
he was Disseminated against, was

"pernicious." The remedies suggested
! by the critics in the name of democ-
racy he said, would impoyerish the
farmer and forever discredit democ-
racy."
Some of these suggestions have
. been prompted by exumberant but
, misguided ZEAL" he said. "Others have
had their inception in the perennial
| and ubiquitous demagogy of certain
class of politicians we always have
, with u.s." Attacking the Aldrich sys-
, tenn as Complicated scheme" which
, would have Disseminated against the
small banks in favor Of the bigger
financial interests Glass said the COM
mittee believed in writing the present
: bill, it had escaped these "evils and
dangers" He praised the scope given
the federal reserve board and declar-
ed that governmental control was alb
solutely necessary. THE avowed pur-
i pose Of this bill,' he said, SIS to draw
the reserve funds from the congested
money centers and make them avail
, able for business uses in the sections
, In which they belong. This we pro-
pose to do cautiously without any
shock to arrangements, extending the
, transfer over a period of thirty six
months"
