When Austrian Aeroplane Accidentally Collides With Dirigible in Mili- tary Demonstration, Nine Fall to Death
THOUSANDS SEE
 AIRSHIP EXPLODE
Horrors of Real Warfare Demonstrated in Graphic Manner by Austrian Aero Corps When Play is h. terrupted
IAssoCIATED PRESS pISPATCH1

ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCH
 VIENNA, June 20.-Nine terribly burned and mutilated bodies. the splin- tered fragments of an aeroplane and the charred remnants of big dirigibie balloon. are the mute records of one of the most tragic disasters which has occurred since man learned to fly. The catastrophe which resulted in the death of all concerned, followed a mi- mic attack by an aeroplane on a dir igible at a great height during the Austrian army maneuvers and it ser ved to show, more than any previous accidents to flying machines have done the horrors that will De likely to at tend aerial warfare. While descending from above the bolloon. the aeroplane. due to some unexplained accident, dropped against the dirigible and ripped it wide open. The dirigible inn mediately exploded
 The dirigible military balloon Koert- ling left Fischamend, a market town eleven miles from Vienna at eight this morning. She was manned by Cap tain John Hauswirth, in command, Lieut.. Ernest Hofstetter, Lieut. Bruer, Lieut. Haidinger, Corporal Hadiam, Corporal Weber and Engineer Kam- nerer. After a lapse of half an hour the military biplane, with Lieut.. Flatz and Lieut. Hoosta aboard. started in pursuit. It was the intention of Cap tain Hauswirth to take photographs of the movements of troops below, and then join in the maneuvers. At the same time he was to keep out of range of any mosquito craft which might seek to attack him. The news had gone abroad that something in the ma
 ture of a sham aerial fight was to take
 place at Koenigsburg, the scene of the
 engagement and a big crowd had gathered
 Very quickly the smaller, but much speedier craft overlook the big airship. The aeroplane circled several times around the balloon, now darting close to her, and then away, always appar- ently steering off just in time to avoid an accident. Meanwhile the balloon continued to rise until about thirteen hundred feet from the ground. The aeroplane, at still greater height, maneuvered until it appeared nearly over the airship. Then it made a des- cent. It was the evident intention of the pilot of the aeroplane to take up d position diretcly above the dirigible and within striking distance, but owing | to either a fatal miscalculation of the distance separating the two crafts or of speed, the nose of the biplane struck
 the envelope of the airship and ripped , it wide open A tremendous explosion | followed: and the balloon burst into ! flames which enveloped the biplane. 1 In moment the wreckage began to drop. crashing at length like lead to

Outlook Is Hopeful

WASHINGTON. June 20.-The pres ident authorized a statement that the outlook for the success of mediation of the Mexican situation is more hopeful than ever and he made known this at titude in view of his conference last night with pr. Romulo S. Naon, the Argentine minister and one of the me- diators. who called at Washington to consult with him. Secretary Bryan also declared his hopes for the suc- cess of mediation are by no means blasted despite the apparent diplo- matic deadlock at Niagara Falls.
 Naon expressed entire satisfaction when he returned to the Canadian city this afternoon. Officials here would give no formal explanation of the basis of their hopes, but insisted that there will be no immediate collapse of medi- atiOn. hey indicated the joint deliber- ations of the mediators and represen- tatives of Huerta and the United States will be resumed on Monday
 The United States, it is said, took the position that the opportunity is presented for giving the whole peo- pie of Mexico a chance for ad- vancement, and that irrespective of personal ambitions, leaders of all factions could be brought to reason CT this basis. If the government of Mexico should not reorganize now, it is argued that bloodshed and the horrors of war would continue until such a reorganization is accomplish p,1 ,e- zant of this situation and is willing to yield should his personal ambi- tions be waived. Carranza is also reported as willing to accept a pro- visional government that would su- pervise the constitutional elections and even Villa, the military power of the revolution, is said to be will ing to substitute reason for bullets and restore Mexico to it's own peo- pie.
 Involved in such state of Mexi- can affairs, 1t is pointed out, would be the interests of citizens of Great Britain, Germany and other nations, besides those of the United States.
 All that the United states insists upon now, it is reported, is that a provisional government to succeed the Huerta regime, should be dom mated by recognized representatives of reform. Allied with them in the provisional government would be men representing the cientificos re- public. That internal conflict can be stayed, pending the effort to re- organize the government of Mexi- co on such basis and that the Huerta delegates, with the assurance of the cooperation of responsible leaders Of the revolutionists could be in- duced to yield to the position of the United States in a crisis, is believed Tn official quarters to be probable.

ing for the start, Giovanni Molasso. the
manager OF the company was spending
several perspiring minutes in rhady
corner of the deck trying to convince
Theodore Reisig. that II would not be
the proper thing to have him arrested
just as he was to 20 on a money-making
tour and thus deprive the company or
its manager. He argued that II meant
failure right from the beginning.
Deputy Sheriff Mcdonnell, who with
Reisig nd his attorney had got to the
steamer in a taxicab about twenty min
utes before sailing time. stood close by
ready to execute an order OF arrest issued
by Justice Blur for Molasso, which
Reisig obtained in "A suit TO recover %,Al'

was quoted as saying. But little did the
theatrical manager know about the pro-
ceedng for an order of arrest.
Molasso pleaded so earnestly with
Reisig on the steamer deck that the lat

that he could not get the money TO pay
