WATERED FOOD FOR

Official Analysis Shows Some Re-

Amsterdam, Netherlands, September g.
Official analysis of some of the food sur

extraordinary frauds. The director gen

found that some of the substitutes for

worthless connections that cost the manu-
facturers only a few cents per liter, but

to be 1925 per cent water, with the re-

I'll. N. Pope Says That the
Country Has Been HUI
inflated by Attitude of
the BrotherhOods

Fort Worth, Tex, September 3.-(Spe-
cial.)-H. N. Pope. president of the Texas
Farmers union, has given out the fol-
lowing statement, commenting on the
eight-hour law passed by Congress Satur-
day.
THE people of this nation have, dur
ing the past week, passed through the
most humiiating experience this govern
ment has ever endured A few labor
union leaders have stood at the portals
of Congress demanding that the govern
ment give them a ransom or they would
wreck society. This nation, instead of
meeting the situation, bravely has deliv-
cred the goods in fear and trembling.
Our American Congress has stood within
the shadow of the goddess of justice. and
trainmen who are the highest paid labor
ers in the world, and never at any time
mentioned the $50, 900 track men who are
perhaps the poorest paid workmen in the
world, and who must subsist almost
wholly upon the crumbs that the train
men leave upon the table. When cotton
was selling for cents per pound two
years ago and poverty stalked over the
southland, causing greater financial
loss to the southern ploughmen than the
freeing of slaves, Congress confessed in
ability to cope with the situation, and
stepped aside, letting this awful burden
fall upon the backs of the tillers of the
soil. The organized ploughmen plead
with Congress for relief, but were told
that it would not be constitutional for
a m fiy
price of cotton or to advance money on
cotton in storage and that Congress was
a slow moving body, and could not meet
emergencies."

RAID OVER ENGLAND

Those in hand indicate that the damage

great number of the bombs dropped hav-
ing fallen either into the sea or in re
mote country districts.
ut is hoped that any persons WHO
picked up fragments of the wrecked air
ship will submit them to general head
quarters without delay. If of no value
in the reconstruction of the airship. they
will be returned to their owner. 1t should
be remembered that the retention of sucl,
articles is a contravention of the defense
of the realm regulations"
THE BIGGEST RAID
The Zeppelin raid, which lasted from
late last night until the early hours Of
this morning and which was on the iaIg.
est scale yet undertaken, did not lfford
Londoners the spectacle that did those
of this time last year, although from
many parts of the city people were awaS-
ened by the firing and saw one Of the
raiders falling in flames in the north.
News of the raid circulated during the
evening and people waited up in expec-
tation of seeing sights which became ia
miliar last year. They had almost given
up hope when the firing of guns told
them that Zeppelins were making an ef-
fort to reach the city. Only a few rounds
were fired, however, as the defenses o:
London proved too strong for the raiders.
the most daring of which had been struck
and brought down in flames, fact which
soon was known to the whole city through
the cheering of the crowds which had
gathered at every point of vantage. OBJ
servers say the death agony of the .4ep
pelin lasted minute and half.

bombs were dropped. The night was per-

with few stars visible and with no wind
or rain to interfere with their maneuvers

The Birmingham age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1902-1950, 1916-09-04

Press, who was in the eastern counties
in the early morning, watched the bonn
bardment of the Zeppelin which was de-
stroyed. When first seen it was sailing
with shrapnel bursting all around and
searchlights centered on it.
Suddenly the Zeppelin disappeared in a
cloud Of smoke emitted by itself.
The sky was clear at the time, but the
searchlights got trace of their quarry. A
minute after a light appeared in the sky
like brilliant comet which increased
in intensity as it descended Then
the light spread out into flames, falling
gradually until an altitude of about loo
feet was reached, when it burst into an
enormous sheet of flame, lighting up the
surrounding country for miles.
Apparently the gasoline had caught fire
and the airship dashed rapidly to the
earth. From villages and towns went up
loud cheers, but it was difficult 20 tel
exactly where the airship had fallen. Tie
people congratulated one another on tao
good Workmanship of the anti-aircraft
guns For sometime searchlights were
thrown skyward, searching for the com
panions of the wrecked airship but ap-
parently without success.
Immense crowds went from London and
suburban towns today to visit the wreck
of the Zeppelin, which was lying heap
of ruins in a field. Notwithstanding the
heavy rain prevailing, soldiers guarded
the wreck and removed charred portions
of the bodies which were found.
An witness who reached the scene
early said the charred remains Of big
German engineer were found. The hands

Some accounts say that a number o!
the crew jumped to save themselves from
burning, but those familiar with Zeppe-
Inns think it would be impossible. ESCAPE
only could have been made through the
exit ard the rapidity of the descent would
not have given them time.
SEES THE WRECK
The remnants of the destroyed Zeppe-
lin form a heap of tangled wires and
fused metal The charred bodies of the
men who manned the airship were seen
by the correspondent of the Associated
Press lying, covered with tarpaulin, in
the field where the airship fell, &.
AS the mass of melting metal crashed to
the earth it struck country villa, which
was partly destroyed, and killed three
horses in "a stable nearby.
There was no sign of life to be ob
served among the members of the crew
when the airship reached the ground. and
it is probable that all had quick death
after the liquid fuel took fire.
All that was left of the engines was
quickly detached and removed on military
lorries for inspection. The crowds that
gathered were not permitted a close view
of the bodies of the raiders crew, which
were closely guarded by soldiers.

.REVO[TO OF CONGRESS
BY LEADERS
No More Strike Legislation

leans to Do Much

BIZ HUGH w. ROBERTS

Washington, September S.-(Specia'o
An utter abandonment of the Presidents
antistrke programme as concerns all
proposed features save that having to do
with the establishment of an eight-hour
day for railroad operatives. has been sle-
termined upon by democratic leaders in
Congress. With the enactment of the
S-hour statute and the obviation OF the
threatened strike of trainmen, Congress
is apparently satisfied to leave all other
proposals bearing on the situation those
which, in the opinion of railroad own
ers, would render the settlement equit-
able for December consideration. In the
plan, the President has acquiesced, al
though it is said that, but infor-
mally, that House members if required
to remain in Washington. would openly
revolt. he would have insisted on the full
ilment of his tentative agreement with
the public.
The Adamson eight-hour BILL that
which averted the strike, was signed this
morning by the President as he awaited
in his private car, the departure of n
train for Kentucky. With the happy adj
justment Of industrial differences which
threatened business ruination, the demo-N
cratic Congress rejoices, and is hasten
ing the enactment of the revenue bill in
that adjournment may be ordered before
the conclusion of the week.
That democratic plans for adjournment,
however may be frustrated is inter-
esting gossip tonight. The idea obtains
that republicans determined to inform
the country fully of their opinion of the
adjustment of differences between train
men and employers. will indulge in an
orgy of oratory to last for more than a
week.

The mother. who Is believed to be

the river. She struck shallow water.
however. and then apparently
changed her determination to end
her own life, for she climbed into

The woman was almost exhausted
by exposure and talked incoherently
when questioned By Hughes: when
he asked her where her children had
gone she pointed down the river. She
was taken to the Delaware hospital
and a guard was placed over her.
After the tragedy Mrs. Stapka. who
is 80 years old. still talked in ram-
bling manner. and was unable TO tell
the police her address, although she
said her home was IN Claymont
street, which is in the eastern part
Of the city.
She also declared that she had de
termined to end the lives Of her little
daughters and kill herself because
her husband would not provide suite
