GERMAN AIRsHIP IN FRANCE
Lost Dirigible Captured By Mill
tary Authorities.

Luneville, France The German mil
itary dirigible airship Zeppelin Nv
made landing in the military parade
grounds here and was seized by the
French authorities. The incident has
caused tremendous excitement.
The German officers aboard the air.
ship explained that they had been lost
in the clouds and did not know they
had crossed the French frontier.
The inhabitants of the eastern from
tier regions of France have been much
agitated the last few weeks over re-
ports that German dirigibles had been
observed or heard nightly lowering
over the forts. The stories, like those
of the phantom airship of England,
never were properly substantiated.
The chief officers of the engineer
corps at Luneville removed the mag
netos from the engines in order that
the airship could not get under way,
and the cabin was searched for pho
tographic apparatus, sketches or SIM
lar evidence of spying operations, but
nothing of that nature was found.

COLD STORAGE Is DEFENDED
Pennsylvania Granger, However,
Defends Immediate Use.

Philadelphia storage ware
houses were defended here jim speeches
at the annual meeting of the Ameri-
can Academy Of Political and Social
Science which was called to discuss
the cost of living.
At the close Of the afternoon ses-
sion, F. G. Urner and Frank A. Porne,
both of New York, although not on the
program, were called to the platform
and in vigorous talks defended the
practice of storing commodities in
cold storage warehouses. They de-
clared that the practice was q benefit
to the public, insofar that it protected
the people from shortage of food and
from excessive prices. As an exam
pie, both said that through the stor-
age Of butter and eggs the people of
the country had been supplied through
out the last winter with these food
stuffs at reasonable prices.
Willim T. Greasy, master Of the
Pennsylvania State Grange, aroused
enthusiasm when in beginning his adj
dress on the cost Of living he said !:
We on the farms are in favor Of kill
ing chickens and eating them within
"a hours.
Mr.. Greasy said that one Of the high
costs that entered into production Of
foodstuffs was the scarcity Of farm
help. He said that farm laborers left
the country for the cities, where they
obtained better pay.

5000 Students, With Band, Receive
Back Former Fellow.

New Haven, Conn.-Undergraduate
Yale welcomed ex-President Taft back
to his alma mater in a manner no
less hearty and enthusiastic than was
the godspeed given Wilson by the
Princeton students when he left a
month ago to take up the duties at
Washington that Mr.. Taft was about
to lay down.
Practically the entire student body,
5000 strong, reinforced by a band,
was at the station when Mr.. Taft and
his party arrived. An equally large
crowd of lcitizens also was present.
AS the Taft party stepped from the
train, Captain Spalding, .of last years
football team, stepped forward and
presented Mrs. Taft with great Boz
quet of violets. A moment later
Yale's famous "frog chorus" cheer,
with nine "Tafts" on the end, roared
from 5000 threats.
Both Mr.. and Mrs. Taft were deeply
moved by the reception. Mr.. Taft's
famous smile was lacking for mo-
ment and he wore a serious look. As
the demonstration grew, however, he
smiled broadly and dotted his hat in
acknowledgement.
Headed by the "Y" men of the ath-
letic teams and bulldog standing at
It's leash, the procession proceeded to
the campus.
Mr.. and Mrs. Taft with delegation
of the faculty, followed in an automo-
bile. All along the line the ex-presi-
dent and Mrs. Taft received a contin-
uous ovation. Arriving on the cam
pus, Mr.. Taft was escorted to a bal
cony in Memorial hall. As he started
to speak he received another great
ovation.

FARM RETIREMENT BOOSTED
Fine O-Page Handbook Is Issued
for Free Distribution.


Spokane-Farm betterment work, as
outlined by the National Country Life
congress year and half ago, gets q
decided boost in 100-page handbook
just issued by the Spokane chamber OF
commerce for free distribution. The
volume places special emphasis on the
marketing question. The country
school, farm home, farm community
life, good roads and transportation,
and the production of farm crops and
animals, are treated in separate de-
partments. The matter contained in
the book is taken from addresses de-
livered by noted men and women at
the first National Country Life con-
gress, in Spokane, during November,
1911, and at meeting of the board OF
trustees in Chicago, in January, 1912.
Gin issuing this book, we feel we are
making a valuable contribution to the
cause of better farming and better
farm life in general" said Secretary
Gordon C. Corbaley, of the chamber
of commerce., adding: "The keynote
of the book is struck in the following
sentence: "Growing your stuff is
about thirty-three and one-third per
cent of the business and selling at q
profit is sixty-six and two-thirds. It
YOU can grow thousand bushels OF
wheat to the acre, and if you cannot
sell at profit, that is mighty poor
business.

YOUNG EDISON UNDAUNTED
Glass Bottle Bomb Blown up but
He Will Try Again.

West Orange, N. Theodore Ed
ison's "bully invention" a glass bot
tie bomb, designed to sink the ships of
"the enemy" smashed itself to pieces
while the 14-year-old son of Thomas
A. Edison was experimenting in his
fathers laboratory.
Bits of glass were imbedded in
young Edison's right hand. No injury
resulted that will be permanent.
The boys idea was floating bomb
constructed to explode upon coming in
contact with another object.
Some of your first inventions blew
up, didn't they, dad?" young Edison
asked after the accident.
"They did," replied his father, "but
/ went back at Them"
To which Teodore replied: $50
will l."

CONTINUE WAR
Friends of Mrs. Pankhurst Give
Warning to Authorities.
Country House Burned, Railway
Trains Dynamited, Internal
Machine Used.

London-The suffragettes, continu-
ing their campaign of retaliation
against the sentencing of Mrs. En-
maline Pankhurst, their leader, to a
term of imprisonment, succeeded Sat
urday in destroying another large
country house by fire.
AS in several previous cases of the
kind, the residence, which was situat-
ed at Chorley Wood, Buckingham
shire, was unoccupied, but was being
prepared for the reception of tenant.
The owners of the building, a firm of
contractors, estimated their loss at
$12,50
Cards bearing the inscription
"Votes for Women and other suffra-
gette notices were found on the
grounds. No arrests have been made.
The police believe that some of the
criminal acts attributed to the suffra-
gettes, principally attempts to destroy
railway property, were the work of
men engaged by the women.
These attempts have included the
planting of infammables and explo-
sives under seat in an empty train.
The resulting explosion splintered sew
eral cars.
Two girls suspected of being mill
tant suffragettes about to commit
some outrage were arrested Saturday
before dawn. They carried bags con-
tanning paraffine, paper saturated with
oil, candles and matches. In each of
the bags was paper bearing the
scrawl:
Beware how you treat Mrs. Pank-
hurst.
There was also an attempt during
the night to blow up Oxted station in
Surrey, on the London, Brighton &
South Coast railway, but the damage
caused by the explosion was inconsid-
cradle. A travelling basket, found in
lavatory, contained an deliberately
devised internal machine set to 60 off
at 8 q. m. and explode charge of
gunpowder and several cans of gaso-
line. Apparently the gunpowder ex-
ploded without igniting the gasoline.
A revolver, which apparently had been
dropped during hurried flight, also
was found.

SMALL INVESTMENT Is WISE
Man Who Settled on Klickitat With
$1,000 Has $4,000 Now.

Wahkiacus-The story of likely op-
perfume investments yet awaiting the
investment seeker in Klickitat is told
in the brief career of w. G. Wallace.
Wallace with large family arrived
in Klickitat in 1905, and all the finan-
cial basis at his command was bank
draft for $1,000. He was imbued with
the belief he wanted to invest north
east of here on the brakes of the
Klickitat.
The ever-faithful "knocker," who
has many associates over the West
told the tenderfoot to go slow, and
incidentally mentioned other localities
with glow of colors added. Wallace
made payment, placed his family in
their home, and accepted the first Ia
borer's job offered.
Just last week, with $4,000 to his
credit in the bank, Wallace and family
started for a long visit to their old
home in Missouri.

(Tro1s1nted from "h0beDbueu' Is ADyjzA
The question who is to be Prince of Albania
has hitherto awakened very little Interest:
attention having been concentrated on the
important events which have occurred. An
Egyptian prince has been mentioned. but
attention bias principally been drawn to Duke
Ferdinand OF Montpensler, the late Princess
Marie's cousin, son Ct Duke Louis Philippe
Of Orleans. He has been much Interested
himself and bus been lying outside ValIont
with his yacht. But on 4 April a commu-
%nication appeared in the Vienna ~iournaf
Fre4tde161oH to the effect that neither
Austria nor Italy supported his election.
Consequently the President of the Proyi-
sioual Government now states that he has de-
clined the Duke. At the same time the
BerI. PagebIatt in Vienna has stated that
the Triple Alliance VIII propose Prince Vii
helm Of Sweden, King Gustay's second son.
Duke of Sodermanlaud. He is married TO
a Russian Princess. TIL source of this il
formation is however not the most reliable.
