HORROR OF WAR
IN AIR EXPOSED
Aerial Sham Battle Results in Tragedy
Nine Soldiers Lost.

Vienna, June 20.-Nine burned and
mutilated bodies, the splintered frag-
ments of an aeroplane and the
charred remnants of big dirigible
balloon are the mute records CT one
of the most tragic-certainly the most
sensational-of disasters which have
occurred since man learned to fly.
The catastrophe, which resulted in
the death of all concerned, nine Off"
GERS and men, followed a mimic at
tack by the aeroplane on the dirigible
at a great height during the Austrian
manoeuvres and served to sh3w, nore
than any previous accidents to fyi~
machines have done, the horrors that
would be likely to attend aerial war
fare.
The dirigible military balloon
Koertling early today left Fischa-
mend, II miles from Vienna, manned
by Capt. Johann Hauswirth, in COM
mand, Lieut. Ernst Hofstetter, Lieut.
Bruer, Lieut. Haidinger, Corporal
Hadima, Corporal Weber and Engi-
neer Kammerer.

then away, always apparently steer

collision.
Meanwhile the balloon co1tihued
to rise until it was about 1900 feet
from the ground. The aeroplane, at
a still greater height manoeuvred
until it appeared to be nearly over
the airship. Then it began it's decent.
1t was the evident intention of the
pilot OF the aeroplane to take up
position directly above the dirigible,
within striking distance, but owing
to a fatal miscalculation Of distance
or speed. the nose Of the biplane
struck the envelope OF the alrs0Ip and
ripped it wide open.
Explosion Results.
A tremendous explosion followed,
the balloon burst into flames, which
enveloped the biplane. Almost at the
moment Of the explosion the wife of

Eugene High
Adopts Dancing

Not the mere development of mus
Gle, but the development of poise and
grace, is the aim of a new course of
physical culture to be introduced this
year in the Eugene high school, says
the Portland Oregonian
In adopting the La Cal system of
gymnastic technique for girls, the Eu-
gene high school stands with the Uni
versity of California and the Univers-
ity of Oregon as the first institutions
to abandon the Chaliff system, that
of the New York instructor whose
movements have almost been made
standard in schools all over the ma
ton, and instead adopt French
method. The aim is to develop along
architectural lines, and is based upon
rhythm in movement and interpreta-
ton of motion.
Dancing, but not social dances, will
be required of every freshman girl
for this year for the first time physi-
cal culture has been made compulsory
with all freshmen girls. In this stand
the Eugene high school is leading
schools of the state.
Miss Mildred Bagley, instructor il
physical culture at the high school
who returne da few days ago from
Berkeley, studied during the summer
under Mile La Gal, brought from
Paris to this county by the Universit!
of California. With her she brough
plans for the development of the new
system of physical culture for th
high school girls.
The new system will not who'll
abandon the Swedish exercises for th
substitution of those based upon tn
ballet dance, but the two are com

devoted to aesthetic dancing, one
third will be given to the forma

tennis and military marching.

Light is Thrown
On HeinouS Crime

Chief Porter has succeeded in
rounding up some evidence which will
no doubt lead to the future capture
of the perpetrators of the most horri-
Bile crime committed for years on the
coast. He has found young man
who knows a great deal about the
crime and those implicated.
The crime referred to occurred at
Livermore, Cal, on August 4. A
young unidentified tramp was found
in the upper story of tank house
in one of the grape vineyards near
Livermore, horribly mutilated His
head was well nigh cut off, he was
nude, his arms and body were sliced
again and again. The killing was too
horrible to bear the enumeration of
the different wounds he had inflicted
upon him. The Livermore police be-
lieved he has been used as a punk"
| (tooD for some hoboes, and upon his
threatening to tell on them had killed
him in vengeance. They have been
able to find no clue whatsoever, up
to the time Chief Porter hade his
| find.
Porter found this young man by
hearing him talking to some others
about what he knew concerning this
crime committed near Livermore. He
Immediately put questions to the boy
and then later received some valuable
information from him. The young
man has been a professional tramp
but is at present in the city.
The boy tells that he was at that
time hoboing his way and the night
of August fell in with a bunch of
drunken hoboes-"S Seattle Blackie,"
an Indian, and the slain man. He
himself was with hobo who went
by the name of Frisco Blackie."
They camped by vineyard near
| Livermore. During the early part of
the evening, so his story runs, Seattle
Blackie went to town to get some
supplies, and left the rest in the
camp. When night began to fall the
Indian suggested to the man who was
later killed that they go over in the
vineyard to sleep, and this they did.
The last, the boy says, he saw of the
dead man was when he was asleep in
the vineyard. he having gone in to
Fsee how good place it was for slum-
Der. Later, after Seattle Blackie had
returned from town, the Indian came
out of the vineyard, and upon being
queried by the former as to the
whereabouts of the other of the trio,
the Indian replied in an evasive man
ner that he guessed he was asleep"
All suspected something had hap
pened as the Indian was covered with
blood. The boy and Frisco Blackie,' -
suspecting there had been trouble,
: Immediately pulled up for the south
J and started on on, leaving the two
men behind them. They did not want
to become implicated in any investiga-
ton, if there had been any crime.
: The other gang was bound for Butte,
Mont.
The authorities found a razor by
the body, and the boy said that the
Indian carried one with him as he
had seen it in his shirt. He recog-
= nized a photograph sent by the Liv-
ermore sheriff as being the dead man.
5 His evidence, as stated to the chief
= of police, throws the first light upon
the mystery.
