found three sticks of eighty per cent.
dynamite similar to that bought near
Richmond, Cal, and used to destroy the

''Caplan had loaded pistol under

into his room and overpowered him
before he could offer resistance. He was
suffering from toothache and was in
no mood TO make trouble.
''Caplan has aged somewhat since
we lost trace OF him four years ago.

ANOTHER ZEPPELIN LOST:
-FOUR Of CREW DROWNED

Copenhagen, Feb. is, via London,
Feb. 10, $40 A. M.-Confirmation has
been received here that a second Ger
man airship has been wrecked off the
coast of Jutland. The Zeppelin L3 ex
ploded on Fance Island Wednesday and
another Zeppelin commanded by Cap
tain Count Platen, sank to the shallow
coastal water ten miles north of Es-
bjerg, Jutland, to-day. -Four of the crew
were drowned but the Others managed
to get ashore. Some of them were suf-
fering from broken legs and other in
iuries. In all three officers and eight
men escaped. Count Platen had both
legs broken. The airship drifted to sea.
The survivors say that they were on
patrol duty over the North Sea when
the weight of snow ON the envelope
caused the airship to sink to the sur
face of the water. The survivors when
they gained the shore first represented
themselves as fishermen, hoping there
by to escape interment. Afterwards,
however, they admitted the truth. They
will be interned at Odense, 81 miles
southwest of Copenhagen with the men
who escaped from the Zeppelin wrecked
Wednesday. 1t is understood that at
the time of the accident the whole Yep
pelin fleet was patrolling the North
Sea just outside Danish waters.
London, Feb. 10, Ills A. M.-The
activity of Zeppelin airships over the
North Sea continues, telegraphs the cor
respondent at Copenhagen of the Lon
don Star and this in spite of the
fact that two airships recently have
been lost Gaps in the fleet caused by
disaster are being filed by Zeppeins
drawn from the airship stations in
Western Germany.

CITY MUST, HELP.

The road from Pine Bluff to the free bridge is net Nkely to be built unless the people of Pine Bluff agree to advance money upon and hold for la specified time scrip to the amount of $13.000 it is proposed to issue for the purpose of helping defray t1a cost of the highway.
 Only a comparatively small area can be included ill the proposed :d.s- trict because of the fact that property that might have been included is al ready in :. the dollarway district Owners of property adjacent to the contemplated road, to the bridge are willing to bear half the cost, and have petitioned d for the establishment of; district under these terlns.
 It is practically certain that two immense road projects will be sue cessfully carried out north of the river, providing a network of modern highways that will bead from all SOC itions of the fertile north half of Jqf- ferson county to theInorth side of the bridge. j
