SURVIVOR SAYS RACKEIRE CAUSED
 BL!MP DISASTER

Chicago, July 24-Herry Wacker of Cleveland, a mechanician of the burned blimp which brought horror and death to the city Monday night, recovered sufficiently yesterday to talk. It is believed he is mortally in- jured. Backfire from a rotary en- zine communicated with the gas bag, he said. causing the blir1p to collapse and the deaths of 2 persons.
 When we were 150 feet up the port engine began to misbehave. The starboard rotary was spitting out hot castor oil. The air and gasoline are mixed in the cranScase by adjust ruents. I reached over and shot open the air valve, but was too late. There was Nacl1fire and the next instant the flames leaped over the motor to the gas bag.
 Just as my parachute opened two flames burst out at it's edges. I pull ed myself up. grabbed one of the burning places with my right hand. crumpling out the fire. With my left I put out the other. 1 came down like shot on the pavement"
 The investigation by Federal State and city authorities into the cause of the destruction of the dirigible was resumed yesterday. Coroner Hoff- man is working with a double jury in an attempt to r,ace responsibility one jury is hearing testimony and tho other acts in an advisory ca paCity.

ARMY PRISONERS
 AUTHENTICATE
 HAVE MUTINIED
Forty ninth Infantry Regi- ment Called Out to Pre-
 vent Disorder.
ARE DEMANDING
 GENERAL, AMNESTY
Third Mutiny of Inmates Who Are Mostly Mem
 bers of I. W. W.

LeaVenworth, Kan, July 23-More than three-fourths of the 2,272 mili- tary prisoners in the disciplinary bar racks at the Federal prison here went on a strike yesterday, refusing to leave their cells or do any kind of work. This is the third mutiny or strike of the inmates who are former soldiers or I. w. w. agitators, in the last six months. The prisoners de- mand a general amnesty setting them free, and they declare that they will not return to work until a promise is made that they shall have it.
 The first strike was largely due to the granting of pardons to conscien- uous objectoTs. This wes settled by promises being made to the soldier prisoners that their court-martiai sentences would be reconsidered and modified. 4 committee of officers conducted Investigations and made recommendations resulting in setting some of the prisoners free and re- ducing the sentences of others
 The second strike was based on harshness of the prison rules and that the work of the Pardon Board was too slow and not liberal enough In the meantime a Prisoners Commit tee was appointed and it has for sev- eral months been passing on aI1 com plaints and disputes, virtually usurp- ing rights of the prison officials The climax was reached yesterday when a demand was made for a general amnesty for all the prisoners in the penitentiary.
 When the gangs refused to work rfN d f h..
 and made threats against the guards All shifts of guards were called in and the 18th Infantry Regiment was summoned from the Fort Leaven- worth garrison and, armed with re- beating rifles, were thrown around the outside walls of the prison. Off, cers were instructed to check any outbreak at all costs.
 When asked about the situation last evening Colonel Sedgwick Rice, the prison commandant, said:
 About three-fourths of the pris- oners are on strike, but there has been no violence as yet.
 The prisoners have made a de- mand for a general amnesty setting them free. and they say they will not return to work until a promise is made to them that they shall receive il. They have demanded of the prison officials that they place the demand for a general amnesty before President Wilson, but this has not been done. All that has been done so far is to telegraph their demand to the Adjutant-General of the army, and no reply has been received from it so far.
 Aside from the demand for a gen eral amnesty, the prisoners made some complaints about the food and other things of a trivial nature. They get the same food that is furnish ed soldiers in the army, and it is well prepared"

CHIL- -DREN STREW
 FLOWERS FOR PRINCE OF WALES
Had Visited Coal Regions
 For First Time.

London, July 23.-(Corresponde of The Associated Press) .-Children strewed with flowers the path of the Prince of Wales and bombared his automobile with roses when he visit ed recently the coal mining regions of South Wales and went down into a mine. The Prince scored with the coal miners of Rhondda Valley by telling them that it was not his fault that it was his first visit and that his absence was due to the war.
 On his way to the mine he sur prised one woman by asking to see her house and garden. He stopped his car when another woman held up her baby to give him a rose.
 Arriving at Owymmer pit, the Prince donned the cap and overalls of a miner, and gratefully accepted from the foreman a silver safety lamp, the gift of the management. Miners and their families crowded around him, end cheered while the Prince waited for the cage to rise from the depths of the shaft.
 Suddenly there was heard the sound of singing apparently from the bowels of the earth. The cage came in view bringing a small party of miners, black with coal-dust, straight from the toll Of the Dit ana singing a Welsh anthem.
 When the singing stopped the Prince and his official guides then stepped into the cage and, swiftly but very carefully, were lowered into the mine..
 At the bottom of the shaft some one had written on a bank timber with white chalk, Welcome to our soldier Prince" The Prince was manifestiy pleased and asking for chalk wrote beside it Thank You, and signed it Edward P.''
 Then they took him through the mines. showed him the ventilation system which guards the lives of the hundreds of men and boys while they work. showed him the working faces" where miners were digging coal, and explained to him some of the difficulties attending the under ground life of the toilers.
 He insisted on trying it himself. and taking the pick handed to him by a griny old miner. struck a few vigorous blows. Later. while thank ing the people for his reception, he said he could appreciate the strsn- uous character of miners work

AIR NEWSPAPER OCEAN SERVICE
 IS SUGGESTED
Would Replace Cable Use
 At $1 An Ounce.

The Aeronauttcal Society of Ameri- ca held q meeting last night in the rooms at 29 West Thirty-ninth street, at which the possibilities and prob lcus of a transatlantic mail and news paper service by airplane were dis cusscd. Leon Camuen read a paper in which he stated that the first re- uuisitc for the establishment of ser Vice between New York and London was money. At first, he said. a regular and comparatively safe service could only be insured by maintaining relay machines on mother ships at sea. As to rates he mentioned s1 an ounce a S n fair charge for transatlantic mail.
 Speaking of the recent perform nnce of the R-34, Mir. Cammen de- clared that the British blimp only accomplished in spectacular way what the Germans planned to do dur ing the war, with the object of drop ping bombs on New York City and Washington.
 ''It is not generally known,' he said that when a German subma- ire appeared off Nantucket Lights in the summer of 1918. it was to pre- pare the ground. The project was to send from two to three Zeppelins, carving nothing but fuel. The Zeps were 10 take their bombs from sub marines off shore. drop them on New York and Washington and pos sibly inc Bethlehem Steel Works and then fly out to sea. The men and records were to be transferred to the submarines and the Zeppclins then destroyed"
 Because of the limitations of trans atlantic air service MT. Cammen said traffic would be limited to the trans portation of men and mall. Precious stones probably would be barred on account of prohibitive insurance,
