DEMANDS PRoTECToRATE.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 17.-Repre-
sentative Sherwood. Of Ohio, to-day
demanded in the House that the
United States join with other powers
in establishing protectorate over
Mexico for the restoration Of peace.
He argued that such action would not
violate the Monroe Doctrine, and said
he had no criticism to make Of
President Wilson's policy.
1.-THE humane policy Of President
Wilson in using moral suasion and
soft glove diplomacy in the settle
ment Of the Mexican question" said
Sherwood, "has not pacified Mexico
nor prevented the usurping President
Huerta from assuming all the func-
tons Of government He has enforced
his official ukase to dissolve the Con-
gress by sending the supreme repre-
sentatives Of the people to prison.
"This autocratic military rule, the
joint product of treachery, conspir-
acy and assassination, calls upon the
Government Of the United States for
active Intervention for the restoration
of the republic"

SCORE DARING COSTUMES.

NEW YORK, Oct. 1.-THE X-ray
and slit skirt, the tango and the tur-
key trot, and the mad hunt for JOY
on the part Of the Americans were
denounced to-day by some of the most
prominent Episcopal bishops in the
United States in conference here.
An expression of opinion was asked
Of eight bishops. Six openly fiayed
the practice of American women OF
wearing daring gowns and also the
frenzied pursuit Of pleasure in which
all America seems engaged.
One bishop. DR.. F. S. Spaulding, of
Utah, declared he never had seen a
slit skirt, while Bishop Henry St.
George Tucker, of Kyoto. Japan, was
the only one of eight bishops who fail
ed to condemn women who wear ex-
aggerated costumes.

Eddington in Police Court to-day
ruled that a man had right to tear
immodest clothes off his wife II he
could prove that he had furnished the
funds to purchase the raiment, even
though it were imported from Paris.

gown from his wife last night on the
streets. A policeman took Ledbetter
in charge. This morning he entered
a plea that he had given his wife the
money for the dress and he had a
right to destroy it. The court sus-
tanned his contention.

D|R|G|bLE FALLS
OUT OF THE SKY
Germany Crushed by Wreck of
Greatest Vessel of Empires
Aerial Fleet.

Special Gable to The Atlanta Georgian.
BERLIN, Oct. 17.-Twenty-s seven
aerial sailors and officers of the I'm
perial Ministry of Marine were killed
an three other men were fatally
wounded when the new admiralty
dirigible balloon LIZ, the biggest air
ship in the world. exploded 5000 feet
above the JOhannisthal Aerodrome to-
day.
The tragedy, following so closely
after the loss of sister airship, the
LII, which was wrecked over the
North Sea in September with a loss
Of thirteen lives, created consterna-
ton throughout Germany.
Among the 80 persons on board the
dlrIgible were the Admiralty Trial
Board, headed by Commander Ber-
nlsche. Commander Freye and Cap
tain Gluth.
Among the injured was Baron Won
Bleul. of the Queen Augusta Grena-
der Guards, who was making the
flight as a guest of the admiralty
trial board.
Spark Caused Explosion.
An investigation showed the ex-
pioSlOn was due to an electric spark
ign1ting the benzine which was car
ried on board. The victims were
either burned to death or suffocated.
So terrible were the injuries of the
four wounded men that they begged
to be shot
The commander of the airship,
Captain Freye, was former aide-de
camp to Prince Adalbert, son of EN-
peror William.
The LIZ was equipped for war,
carrying guns on board.
The destruction Of the LIZ leaves
Germany without a naval aerial fleet.
The disaster, which adds another
to the long string of aerial tragedies
attending dirigible ballooning in Ger
many, came juSteat the time when a
commission from the admiralty was
testing the balloon preparatory to
taking her over.
A number of government officials
witnessed the disaster to-day at Jo-
hannisthal. Those who were watch
ing the great cigar shaped bag
through long range field glasses saw
sudden puff of smoke. then the great
flame Of the balloon crumpled up. For
minute the wreckage hung suspend
ed in midair, then began to fall Gain
ing momentum every second the
wrecked dirigible fell like shot and
struck the earth with a crash that
echoed throughout the big aerodrome.
While dropping, pieces of wreckage
and the bodies Of some of the victims
could be seen falling from the mo-
tors.
Soldiers Search Wreckage.
Soldiers rushed to the spot where
the balloon had alighted and began
tearing at the wreckage, although all
knew that no man on board could
survive such disaster
The LIZ was completed in Septem
Der almost at the same time that her
sister ship plunged into the North Sea
in a gale. She was a giant in size
being 4S7 feet long and SO feet wide
In the middle. Three cars were at
tached to the bag, and she was pro-
PEELED by motors capable Of work.
Ing up speed Of As miles an hour.
The LIZ was the last word in aerial
construction, and the military authori-
ties expected great things of her.
1t is now predicted that In conse-
uuence of the accidents attending the
use of army dirigibles, the German
government will resort to aeroplanes
as a means of aerial offense and de-
fanco

The Davis City Reunion.

The Davis City Reunion last week
was favored with good weather and
good crowds were in attendance each
of the four days, but the attendance
is not what it was several years ago.
The crowds this year were very or
derby and there was no trouble of
any kind on the grounds, the absence
of fellows who had been drinking
to excess being specially noted. The
Leon X. P. band furnished the music
for all four days and they pleased
everybody with their fine music, AS
usual Leon furnished their full
quota of people for the Davis City
reunion this year.
