stand the accident. Last reports to us at o'clock, 40 minutes before the crash, said that the ship was behaving beautifully. There was every indications that the last trial trip was an unqualified success.
 It is hardly possible that hydro gen gas was impure, as that would have been tested before the flight. Therefore an explosion of hydrogen is almost certainly out of the ques- tion.
 The only surmise left is that the breaking up of the dirigible was caused by gasoline explosion, due either to gasoline vapor from one of the engine or through something happening to the gasoline lines or tanks

 Hydrogen Bags Catch Fire.
 This does not seaa 60 me to he any more of weakness in airships than he sinking of the Titanic. Had that ship been filled with he lium it is doubtful if such an acci- doubted that the disaster to the IIR2 was caused by hydrogen bags catching fire after a preliminary explosion, which is still a mystery
 Helium bags would have brought the ship down in safety even in sections, just as water tight bulk heads on a steamship will enabie her to reach port after collision. .
 When the ZR2 started on her trial flight from Howden Tuesday she had on board Commander Louis H Maxfield of the United States navy, who had ben designated by the American navy department to bring the ZR-2 to the United States; Brig Gen. s. Nj. Maitland the Brit ish air marshal. Col. Campbell who supervised the work of designing the Idirigible five other American of ficers, seven engineers and four rig gers, in addition to the regular British crew.
 The ZR-2 was the largest dirigible ever built, the dimensions being as follows
 Length, 695 feet, diameter, S5 feet. capacity 2,700,000 cubic feet total lifting capacity S3 tons.
 Ship Known to Have Been Weak. A London dispatch of Sunday last quoted the Observer as asserting that during the first trial of the ZR2 a tendency of the giant diri- gibte to hump" developed and that an inspection revealed the fact that certain girders had bent and that latticed work had buekled under the strain. Remedial measures were taken, the newspaper said, includ- ing considerable reinforcement of the work along much of the air ships length. In addition to the structure trouble the Observer as serted that the ZR-2 had been little handicapped by engine difficulty.
 The purchase price of the ZR2 was to he S2,000,0 ,000 This, it is assumed was to become effective after the airship had complet- ed her trials and was delivered to and accepted by the American aut horities. The British air service had been careful, however, to avoid a premature delivery, as they had wished to be assured that every thing connected with the structural arrangement of the dirigible was in satisfactory condition. It was for this reason chiefly that the flight which terminated so disasterously Tuesday was begun The monetary loss under the circumstances, ap- parently falls on the contractors and those instrumental in building the ship.

 Survivors Are Delirious.
 All of the survivors are delirious from the terrific shock. II. Bate man, a British mechanic of Halifax England, was the first to be revived sufficiently to be able to discuss coherently the catastrophe.
 Suffering from fearful burns about the head and body crying, sobbing trembling in every limb, the youth full survivor told his story tonight
 was in the til of the ship, talk ing photographs of the new type of rudder which had been installed after The first trial flight, he said, felt the ship take sharp turn to the right just as we were over the heart of the city. We were going back to Pullman to anchor,
 Up to that time the ship had behaved wonderfully. There were no signs of trouble At that moment 1 began to realize what was hap pening. One of the main girders of the ship had failed to stand the strain any longer

THE cnEEKMonE CASE AGAIN,

The pardoning orgy Of last summer, like Ran-
quos ghost, refuses to down. The part 1t played
IN tie slaughter which overlook tho major po-
ntical party In this state last fan can never
be accurately determined That It was great is
admitted. And now the legislative invcstigat-
ing committee brings II up again and offers
some facts.
This committee submits that the governor
who was out OF the state at the time, Is
partner or associate in oil company with
Ben Green, one Of Crcckmore's priacplo lieu
tenants. To merely name Ben Green in such
connection is to relate very great deal to the
people Of this part OF the state. 1t further sub
mits that Lieutenant Governor Trapp, who fcIl
heir to tho executive position while the gov
crnor was absent, had been soliciting endorse
ments OF Creekmorc FOR the purpose Of build.
ing up a case OF sufficient importance to Justify
tho pardon.
How It came about that the pardon was grant
ed, after the governor and lieutenant governor
had left the state and made 1t possible for the
president Of the senate to ascend the throne is
now "A matter OF very unfortunate history to
Messrs Robertson, Trapp ana Senator David
SON. as well as TO the reputation Of the state.
II Is further charged that the authorities
have never recognized the pardon granted, thar
in fact q is without force or effect because
Crcckmorc was pardoned for one otfensc whilo
he was convicted Of another Probably we
shall hear a good deal more Of this case before
It Is finally ended.
II Is unfortunate that re circumstances at
tending this pardon were so scandaious as to
make It impossible to determine. or oven con-
slider the application for pardon on its merits,

It to the people OF the state TO bring the matter
TO bar at the earliest possible moment and seek
20 do justice TO all concerned.

The horizon of human events appears dark

their mental faculties into grotesque forms

evil are abroad oroaking their fears OF an i'm
pending debacle In which the achievements Of
the human race are TO 80 out In stygian dark
ness. And tho apostles OF "him who died
and rose again." seem to have abandoned their
grief and become tinged with the materalism
and commerclalism OF the day.

The former In reality ia a hcathen festival to
the Goddess Of tho East, whereas the latter has
10 do with the most momcntous event OF human
history, This year the Roman calendar falls
some two weeks ahead OF the Hebrew counting,
which Is rectoned n days after the first new
moon after the spring equinox and marks the
evening OF April 81 as the correct date for oh
serving the memorial of Christ's death. While
the Hebrew Institution included unleavcned
bread, wines in three courses, sauce, herbs,
Chatos seth lamb and boiled meat the me-
mortal only uses symbols the unleavened
bread and wine as embems OF the true pass
over lamb. which once for all ransomcd the
human race ftom the Geath penalty. There

lease the people Of earth legally. Meanwhile.
the finishing of the mystery OF Christs church
is at hand, prior to the Inauguration OF the new
Jewdom and the rcvcalmcnt OF the true Mes

slnlessness Of Christ free from the yeast
bubbles Of ambition and sefishness. while the
wine is an emblem OF the shed blood through
which the believer hopes for complete atone

of sin and death.
