SCHULTZ ACCOUNTING
 IS NOT COMPLETE
Judge Marvin Makes Finding on Hearing in Settlement of
 Bridget Clark Estate,

Apparently Judge l.. P. Waldo Marvin of Hartford has virtually dis allowed the final account of E. w.. Schultz as administrator of the estate of Bridget Clark. Word came to Judge Gaffney today from Judge Marvin after a delay of practically three months to this effect. The Hartford judge, who was cited into the case by Judge Gaffney after ob Jection had been raised to the local probate judge by Attorney Timothy F. O'Connell of New Haven, says he has endorsed none of the papers filed with the account as he is anxious to conform to the methods of the local court and says in such a case he would be apt to make a decree disalloWing this account and direct the adminis- trator to file another one and upon his doing so that account would be ap- proved if it conformed to the deci- sion rendered. In this way, con- tinues Judge Marvin, the rights of all parties to appeal would be con- served and an opportunity presented for the items originating in the last four or five months and the papers would go in best shape to the superior court.
 In letter to Attorney Timothy F. O'Connell, a copy of which was sent to Judge Gaffney and all other at torneys interested in the case, Judge Marvin gives his opinion that MT. Schultz as administrator Is entitled to S1,850 to May 8 and $150 from that date to the present, making total of $2,O00. To Klett & filling, coun- sel for the administrator, he would allow $750.
 Although Judge Marvin seems to be unwilling to make a clear cut de- cision in the matter on the ground that he was merely cited into the local robate court for special hear- ing, 1t Is apparent from his language that he favors disallowing MT. Schultz's final account and ordering a new one filed. In his letter to MT O'Connell who represents Joseph H. Clark, he says the account is mani festedly incomplete and the proper course in his opinion would be to en- ter a decree disaIlowing the account and directing the administration to He new one to date upon which hearings could be held

ZEPPELIN TAKEN IN . LONG AIR CONFLICT Driven Off on First Visit, 1t Falls < Two Hours Later
 TEN ENGAGED IN RAID
Second Airship Rolled in Attempt to Attack London and Others Wander s Inventors Friends Alarmed.

London, Oct. 2, 11:3O a. m.-Ten Zeppelins took part in last nights raid over England. Two of them at- tempted to attack London. One of them was driven away and the other as was reported last night, was de- stroyed. No reports of casualties have been received. Following is an official account of the raid.
 Ten airships crossed the eastcoast last night between o'clock and mid night. One airship approached the north of London at about 10 D. m. but was driven off by gunfire and pur- sued by aeroplanes. She attempted to return from the northwest, but was attacked by guns and aeroplanes and brought to earth in flames in the neighb borhood of Potter's Bar sh ortly before midnight.
 "A second airship attempted to at tack London from the northeast and was driven off. Bombs were dropped. No report of casualties or damage have yet been received.
 "The remaining airships wandered aimlessly over the eastern counties. In Lincolnshire bombs were dropped promiscuously. Most of them appear to have been dropped in open country without doing damage.
 'The airship destroyed was of the latest type
 Friends of Count Zeppelin were alarmed when they learned that an- other airship lad been brought down in England last night, says the Am- sterdam correspondent of the Elk change Telegraph comany. The count intended to take part in the raid, the correspondent cables, but a message sent to Germany elicited the informa- ton that at the last moment, owing to the persuasion of his family, he de- cided not to join the raiders.
 Little Left of Airship.
 Except for part of the envelope there is left hardly a vestige recognizable as part of the huge airship which was brought down last night near Potter's Far The Zeppelin burned more fiercely than the one previously de- stroyed, which, like her, fell in an open field.
 The members of the crew were in- cinerated beyond recognition The bodies were scattered over the field on which the airship alighted. some eighty yards from farmers cottage.
 The Zeppelin appeared to remain al- most stationary in the air for three minutes after the envelope burst into flames. The tongue of fire seemed to lick along the bag until it was all ablaze Even then it dropped so slow lv that many persons who had not awakened until the cheering aroused them were able to reach their Win dows in time to see it fall.
 Neither the airship which was de- stroyed nor the second one which at- lacked London succeeded in pene- trating the outer deftHlses Of the cap ;tal. Little or no damage was done by either of them or by the eight others which operated over eastern coun-

BORGLUM STARTS STONE MT,
CONFEDERATE MEMORIAL

Atlanta, Ga, Aug. 1O.-Work on the
Stone Mountain Confederate Memorial
which will cost $5,O0O,COO and be carv-
ed out of the living rock of a great
eminence, began today. Gutzon Borg
lum, the noted sculptor, is in charge.
1t Will take large force of men about
eight years to complete the gigantic
task. Special machinery had to be de-
vised for the work, which is said to be
the biggest undertaking of its kind
ever attempted.
The principal part of the memorial
will represent a Confederate army
vending its way around the mountain.
Infantry, cavalry. artillery, wagon
trains and all other sections of an ar
my will be hewn out OF the solid rock
and they will be so large that they
will appear life-size to passengers on
the railway a mile off. Heroic figures
of Lee, Jackson and other Confederate
leaders will be carved, and at the base
of the mountain a commodious hall, in
which the Daughters of the Confedera-
cy will keep historical records and rel
les, will be hewn out.
The first work today was the start
ing of scaffolding and suspensions to
be used by the workers and the setting
up Of machinery.
The mountain is approximately eight
hundred feet high-a solid rock of
granite-and the sides are so steep it
will he necessary for the workers to
be swung owe rit. Mr.. Borglum, when
actual work has begun, will direct the
work from a specially built cottage
half mile from the scene of activity.
The cottage commands view of the
whole mountainside and Mr.. Borglum
directs the workers by means of sig
nails.
