of Albert L. Loftin,
Recovered

Howden, Eng, Aug. 27 by the As
sociated Press Formal investigation
Of the disaster which destroyed the
dirigible ZR-2, on Wednesday after,
noon and caused the deaths of more
than forty of the personnel, began
here to-day. Sir Hugh Montague
Trenchard, British air marshal, was in
charge of the inquiry, and number
of British and American officers were
present to give testimony. Plans for
the investigation did not contemplate
public sessions OF the court, and it was
believed probable that nothing would
be given publication until after the
findings of the court had been com
municated to the British government
The work of lifting the wreckage Of
the ZR2 from the Humber river was
continued to-day. Two more bodies,
those Of Albert T. Loftin, an Ameri-
can who was acting as mechanic on

ED HOWE VISITS BARRE.
Well Known Kansas Newspaper Man
Inspects Quarries.

Ed Howe, publisher of the Atchison
Kansas, Globe and one of the best
known newspaper men in the country
sometimes referred to as the Sage of
Atchison," was an interested observer
of the Barre granite quarries and al
lied operations to-day, as well as pay
ing a flying visit to the Barre Times
Office.
Mr.. Howe is the guest of Harry Z.
Parker of the Bradford Opinion, for
several weeks. He said he came to
Vermont--his first trip to the state
and his second to New England inst
to see Parker and the scenery; and lie
is seeing both at the same time as
Publisher Parker is his constant com
panion and guide rs the party tours
the state and takes in the various at
fractions. Publisher Parker thought
the trip through the state would not
be complete without visit TO the
famed Barre quarries, so he enlisted
the services of James M. Boutwell, of
the Boutwell,, Milne & Varnum Co.
and the visit to the quarries was made
to day.
Although the time was short, as the
party was due in Burlington later in
the day, Mr.. Howe was shown much
of the deep ehasms in the solid rock
and of the vast operations on Mill
stone hill, the guest evineing much
interest in the great rock formation
and the machinery.
Mr.. Howe is accompanied to Yer
mont by his daughter, Adelaide Howe.
They plan to go to Mr.. Parker's home
in Bradford soon and start from there
on a trip to Portland, Me-, and the
seashore resorts in that vicinity. They
came yesterday from Rutland, where
time was spent.
Readers of magazines will recall
many articles from the pen of Ed
Howe as he has contributed frequently
to several of the leading periodicals.
He has also written several books,
which have a wide reputation.

BIG EXPLOSION SHOOK
CITY OF PROVIDENCE;
ONE DEAD; MANY HURT
LESS RIGOROUS RESTRICTION
On Counter Revolutions in Russia Has
Been Imposed.

Reval, Esthonia, Aug. 26,-The pow
ers of the "Cheka," or extraordinary
committee to combat counter revolu
tions have recently been curtailed, say
Moscow advices from independent
sources. These are in some measure
corroborated by bolshevik newspapers
1t was the "Cheka," with its powers OF
arresting without warrants, secret
condemnations and death sentences
which ordered and carried out most OF
the executions during the period OF
red terror" in Russia.
Some of the soviet government off
cials, considering that the period of
civil war and counter revolution was
almost completely ended, favored the
abolition of the "Cheka" altogether, it
is said. The controversy between those
desiring to abolish it and those 'consid-
ering it still necessary is now under
stood to have been settled by com
promise.
M. Krylenko, a former sailor, the
public prosecutor of the revolution
ary tribunal led the fight for aboli-
tion, according to newspapers in the
Baltic states, Dzerzhinski, president of
the "Choka," opposed him.
The government resolved on re-
form of legal procedure, under which
the ''Cheka's" powers are principally
confined to cases of espionage and par
in revolts but without pow
er to pass, the death sentence except
in localities under martial law.
A supreme tribunal" is to be es-
lablished This is TO act as the high
est legal body, as court of appeals, and
also as an institution of supervision.
In exercising this supervision, the tri.
ounal must include representative of
he ''Cheka."
In theory the revolutionary military
tribunals in the army and on the rail
ways are abolished, unless military op.
,rations or uprisings render their re-
,ention necessary. The functions at
present exercised by these courts will
,e transferred to special departments
which are to have the right to pass
entenee of death in regions not under
martial law.
