DEMOCRATS MAY CONTEST IN
DIANA AND WEST VIRGINIA

Reports concerning the money in
certain states have come to both dem
ocratic and republican headquarters,
and evidence is being collected. It is
planned to call those actually in
charge of campaign finances before a
Senate committee and investigate the
details of their transactions. An in
vestigation of alleged attempts to
#colonize illegal voters particularly in
Indiana and West Virginia was be-
gun before the election. The demo-
Gratis are planning to contest the cleo
ton of United States senator's in those
states.

Another part of the ship which was

were on top of the airship. There
were nine in all. The caIiber OF
some of them is greater than our
English machine guns"
Small metal cylindrical tanks at
intervals along the ship contained
coiled ropes, which were used for
mooring purposes. When the ship
was about to come to anchor lever
was pulled and all these ropes shot
to the ground simultaneously. By
this means the soldiers were able to
capture her quickly and guide her to
her shed. But that shed win never
see her again.

lever. In front of the engine was a
little seat. "In that seat" explained
the guide, "sat the man who tended
the engines. Here, almost touching
him, sat the man who manipulated
the machine gun, and forward was
the place for the sailor who looked
after the wireless machinery"
That gondola told the story of the
"Zepp." Everything was compact,
well thought out, strong and efficient,
with not an inch of spare room. The
beauty of the work and the excellent
craftsmanship were apparent to all.
Some of the work was probably done
by women.
Fabric Was Burned
Coming to the remains of the main
body, which is 75O feet long, the
guide explained that 100000 cubic
feet Of gas were used to expand the
twoenty-four compartments. Nothing
now remains of the fabric, some of
which was made of Manchester shirt

started by one of the crew before he
deserted the ship.

convey vividly the enormous size of
the airship when intact. To demon

hand aloft strip of laced aluminium
metal work.

pointing to some charred remains in

LYING IN RUINS SOME.
WHERE NEAR LONDON
WRECK OF THE SUPER ZEPPELIN, SHOT DOWN IN
THE LAST AIR RAID

New York, Nov. 14.-A special to
the Herald from London says:
That airships of the Zeppelin type
are vulnerable, that when they come
in contact with things that can hit
back they are helpless indeed, is what
the remains of the L-33, now lying
open to the public gaze in a field
somewhere in Essex" tell.
The most serious blow to the Prus-
slams in their airship raids on London
in September and October, in which
they lost four airships, was the pres
ent they were compelled to make of a
super -Zeppelin-the L-33-to British
authorities.
As some compensation to the su-
burbs which suffered damage on the
night of September % it may be said
that the Zeppelin which caused most

drawings in the construction of such
a machine-and a better though it is
doubtful whether the English want
such things unless for naval recon-
noissance. Otherwise they are USE
less, because it is no part of the
English game to raid undefended
places for the Staying of the helpless.
Under the guidance of experts a
party of newspaper correspondents
had private view of this super
Zeppelin. As was said on the morn
ing that she fell, she looks just like
the Crystal Palace in need of glazing.
There is marked depression in the
center of the framework. She is big,
certainly, but whichever way she is
locked at in detail she suggests the
thin-skinned and mortal balloon. Yet
she was the best that Count Zeppelin
could do as things are. She was built
this year, and it is believed that the
raider was on her maiden voyage. IN
damaged petrol tanks bear the date
July ID, 1885, and there are evil
dences to show that this date does
not apply to the tanks alone, but indi-
Gates the period at which the fabric
was completed and the "Zepp" fully
equipped for its mission Of frightful-
ness.
Ingeniously Constructed
There is not much about the struc-
tural details which were not fairly
well known to the admiralty before,
but minute examination does not de-
tract from the tribute which may,
without prejudice, be paid to the In
genious lines on which this monster
of the air was built.
"The weight of the Zeppelin" said
an officer, with crew and full load
aboard is sixty tons," and for a full
hour he talked figures full of interest.
There were six engines, he explain
ed, each developing $50 horsepower.
All were in gondolas, small and large,
shaped like boats.
"This is one of the gondolas," he
said, and showed aluminium 18-foot
boat. The inside was bristling with
machinery. In the center was a large
engine which was started by a hand

On st. Thomas island almost the
entire population lives in the town
Of Charlotte Amelia. Lying on the
sides of three lofty hills, banked with
tropical foliage, and with its front
street, a shaded driveway. skirting the
blue waters of the barbor, Charlotte
Amelia has an extremely picturesque
setting. In it's prosperous days, before
the headquarters of the large trad
ing companies moved to the Barba-
does, the harbor was visited by war
ships of every nation, which dropped
anchor there between December and
April. Began, then, a round of social
gayety. Dances were given at the gov
ernment house, and dinner parties,
picnics and moonlight deck parties
succeeded each other until the ships
were off again.
Now all this gayety has vanished
and Charlotte Amelia is just a quiet
harbor settlement where living is very
cheap. A large house with spacious
grounds and verandas can be had for
twenty-five dollars a month and SER
wants at from five to seven dollars
monthly. Food is also inexpensive.
There are plenty of vegetables and
fruit, livestock is imported from
Porto Rico, and the surrounding wa
ters abound in fish.
The islands were first discovered
by Columbus on his second voyage to
America and were named by him the
Virgin Isles. They were declared the
property of Denmark in 1866 by one
Erik Smidt at the head of a large
trading company. Denmark has held
them ever since, with the exception of
q short interval in 1901 and again
from 1907 to 1915, when they were
captured and held by the English as q
war expedient. Peoples from almost
every nation on the globe have settled
here. The architecture of the islands
is a mixture of Danish, French, Span
ish, English and Dutch, and the busi-
ness signs are in various languages.

Civil War and esta blished a southern

their military value to the United
States government.
Secretary of State Seward was the
first to agitate the matter of purchas-
ing the island from Denmark during
the Lincoln administration. The as
sassination of Mr.. Lincoln and the
chaotic political situation which fol-
lowed delayed negotiations, but a
treaty was finally ratified in Copenha-
gen, ceding the Danish West Indies to
the United States for the sum of ST.
500. 1000. In the meantime President
Johnson had succeeded to the White
House, and a bitter feud ragged be-
tween him and Congress. The fact
that the administration was in favor
of the purchase was enough to kill the
treaty in the Senate. which declined to
Tatify.

Chapter 81
The relationship between the known
causes of constipation and the Sus-
peCted causes of cancer is based upon
| the unnatural loss of cellulose, min
eraI salts, colloids, and vitamines to
which the nations breakfast foods and
| breadStuffs are subjected before they
are put OH sale.
Because it is true that constipation
in the United States causes more hu-
man misery than drunkenness we
shall not dismiss the subject until it
4 is considered in connection with the
prevalence of acidosis and cancer now
on the rapid increase from coast to
| coast.
The demand for laxative pills,
cathartics and heart depressorS for
! headaches due to the absorption of
retained toXines from congested intes-
tines overloaded with decay. is greater
| than the demand of the morning
after for bracers.
1t is needless to reassert this truth,
| for all of us know that If we ask
any druggist what one so-called rem
edy is most covered by the human
race we shall be told that "constipa
| ton pills" sit on the mountain top
! of popular clamor for relief from dis
| tress
The average creature, who lives
| largely on food deficient in cellulose,
fiber and mineral salts, needs no de-
scription of the misery which con-
stipation begets, but there ia another
warning for such creatures which
should not be ignored.
Diagnosticians are agreed that
many of the ills which plague human
nature are preceded by a history of
constipation. They also agree on the
proposition that freedom from consti-
patton aVerts many ills.
They are not agreed upon the cause
of cancer, Some of them believe that
| cancer is premature aging and
breaking down of the cells They hold
! to the theory that certain cells be-
| come aged while the tissues around
| them are still in a state of compare
tive youth. The aging cells they say
express their senility by returning
! to more embryonic form and as
they do so increase in number, thus
resulting in the morbid growth which
| they call cancer
In the opinion of many cancer spe-
cialists this faculty of multiplication
| is one of the manifestations of de-
| generating cells.
Other cancer specialists hold to the
proposition that cancer is the direct
result of irritation either mechanical
or chemical. and that it may be pro-
duced by the absorption of an un-
identified poison.
Still others believe that it is pro-
duced by the invasion of a parasite
yet unrecognized and too small to be
discovered by the most powerful
microscope. Yet. while they are all
in doubt about the origin of cancer,
they all know that 1t is increasing at
the rate of "a per cent. year in the
United States.

! University, discussing the cancer
question before the Surgical and
