hibition, but, to the horror of thou sands of spectators, it was seen that she had broken in two and was taking a tremendous nose dive, which ap- parently would bring her down into the thronged streets.
 Explosion Breaks Windows
 Then came loud explosion and great crash followed by another eX- plosion, which was accompanied by the breaking of glass in the windows on land, the whole being reminiscent of war time when German airships bombed Hull and explosions shook the whole town. Todays confussion was so great that it wrecked windows over an area of about a mile square
 Some spectators assert that the air ship began to buckle before any flame or explosion was seen or heard The broken halves of the ZR-2 reached the water. nearly mile apart. The gen. eral opinion of the public of Hull is that the commander of the airship ac- complished a remarkable feat of bravery in diverting the descent of the vessel so that it fell into the wat CT instead Of in the crowded streets.
 People n Panic
 It was a moment of terror for the populace when the disaster occurred. People in the streets rushed madly to cover. hearing that the massive wreck would fall upon and crush them. The terror gave way, however, to horror as the wreck plunged into the middle of the river near the corporation pier
 During the fall of the airship three members of the crew were observed making a thrilling parachute descent They came down into the river, where they were rescued by small boats. All who jumped from the falling craft lost their lives. They had no chance for escape. for the water was covered with burning gasoline and the heat from the burning wreckage was SC intense that even the rescuers suf | fered the greatest difficulty in ap preaching for some time. Barges | trawlers and small boats thronge6 about the debris to render any pos 1 sible assistance.
 | immediately after the disaster tele i phone messaees came from distances up to five miles reporting that the 1 people had felt an earthquake shock

HAvERTY GETS SIX ID TEN YEARS IN
 PEN|TENTIARY

Tombstone, Aug. 23-Jos. w. Hav- erty, found guilty last Sunday of man. slaughter. by a jury following trial that lasted week, was Thursday morning sentenced by Judge Lock wood to serve not less than six nor more than ten years in the Arizona state penitentiary.
 Following the sentence of a number of other prisoners, Haverty was brought into court accompanied by his attorney.
 When asked by the court whether or not he had anything to say, or le- gal cause to show why sentence should not be pronounced. Haverty said the only thing he wanted to say is that the killing of Dick, his brother, was not frame-up. The court replied that eveidently the jury did not be- lieve that to be the fact in returning the minimum verdict. In his opinion Judge Lockwood told the prisoner. he did not believe either that he had framed up to kill Dick, but since the jury had found him guilty and the crime committed was of most serf ous nature, he must stand the conse quences.
 When the court pronounced the sen tence Haverty was unmOved, although it was reported when he returned tC his cell in the county jail he broke down and wept. Shortly afterwarC Clay, his eldest son, who had testified at the trial, entered the jail with hi: dinner, his wife sending him all meals since his incarceration following the verdict.
 Sheriff Hood announced he will bt taken to Florence within the next few days following settlement of somf business affairs regarding his rancl in the Huachucas.

43 MEET DEATH WHEN GIANT. D|RIGIBIE FALLS INTO RIVER.
Z2-2 WAS LARGEST.
 DiRIGIBLE IN WORLD

The ZR-2 was the largest dir1- gible ever built, the dimensions being as follows: Length G95 feet; diameter, S5 feet; capacity, 2,7OO,- coo cubic feet; total lifting capa- city, S3 tons.
 The aircraft was operated by six engines. She was estimated to have a cruising radius of 60 miles per hour, giving capacity to make an aggregate of 6,000 miles of un- interrupted flight. She had a capa city for 42 officers and men. The gasoline supply was 1O,900 gallons. It was estimated that she would cross the Atlantic in 72 hours.
 The huge aircraft had four gon- dolas suspended from the frame work These provided sleeping ac commodations for the officers and crew and an electrical apparatus for cooking meals. Her wireless set was expected to keep the mon ster craft in touch with both shores of the Atlantic and to have radius exceeding 2,50O miles.

WANT COPPER USED FOR ARIZONA AUTO
 LICENSE TAGS

Phoenix, Aug. 17-A request has come to the office of the secretary of state from the copper producing re- gions of the south for the use of cop per in the making of automobile li- cense plates, not only as a means of widening the market for copper, but as an advertisement of one of the pro- ducts of the, state and for the setting up Of an industry within the state
 Unfortunately the request came to late. contract was made last May for the plates, which, it is understood have now been completed and are ready for shipment. No doubt Arf- zona copper will be used next year in the making of the plates. and it is thought that they will cost less than plates now do, considering the high freight rates on them.
 At the Ajo mines, where the cleo trolytic process is used, plates can be made of any thickness desired. so that there would be nothing to do but to stamp them with the designs and figures required. That could be done at the mines.
 So many plates are now required about 80 900, two for each car that the bulk and weight of the shipment from far eastern points where plates have been purchased, is enormous.
