Aged Inventor Overcome hut Plans
Another Aerial Craft Govern
ment to AM Him With Money.
Friedrichafen, Germany, Aug. 11.
Ail the many months of weary lab
or of Count Zeppelin went for naught
when the big dirigible ballon In
which he had started the previous
morning on a record-Lreaklng trip of
twenty-lour hours, went up in a col
umn of flame. All t..nt is lett of
the airship is a pile of broken and
twisted metal lying In a field near
Echterdingen.
Although the airship vanished In
a pun" of smoke and a burst of flame,
the hopes of Count Zepyelin did not
;.o with It. He Is broken-hearted
over his los3, but his grief has been
softened by the assurances that
money would bo raised immediately
to enable him to build a new balloon.
The Government already has sent
him $120,000 with which to continue
his experiments, ftd subscription
lists have been opened both In Ger
many and In Switzerland. In fact
the Count's secretary said that he
had begun the plans for a second bal
loon. The destruction of the airship
changed what had promised to be a
day of jollification here Into a day of
gloom. More than 100,000 persons
had gatnered In the streets of Frled
richshafen to greet the homecoming
aeronaut.
The destruction of the ship came
as a dramatic ending to a remarkable
flight. The ship had rounded May
ence and was almost in the last
stretch of Its homeward Journey.
Vhe;i over Echterdlngen Zeppelin
decided the vessel voult have to be
repaired In order to finish the jour
ney. He descended 10 land and the
ballon dropped gracefully Into a field.
The balloon was anchored and the
engineers began making the neces
tary repairs, while pedestrians, auto
rrcblllsts and wagons loaded with
peasants flocked to the vicinity. It
Is estimated that the crowd around
tne machine numbered nearly 40,000
persons.
At 2, K8 o'clock P. M., a for
mldaole gust of wind struck
the airship broadside. At first
the craft heeled over and then her
them a number of soldiers who were
Holding the ropes. After poising for
a moment at a height of fifty feet thc
airship dashed forward against a
clump of fruit trees. The Impact
uprooted them. Then the airship re
turned to earth even more suddenly
then it rose and crashed to the
ground.
With a thunderous noise the for
ward motor exploded. Wheu the air
cleared the balloon was seen lying
in an open field on a high plateau
with only the raggec tangled strips
of the t.luralnum envelope still re
maining. The metal stays and bands
and portions of the motor were
strewn about like old iron, blacken
ed with smoke and burns.
Officers rushed forward and found
that several soldiers had been hurt.
The four engineers who had occu
pied the forward platform of the air
ship had escaped death but were suf
fering from injuries.

t! n ti lid Aeceptame v.t the Demo,
cnitle Candidate for Presidency.
The Ceremonies Are Simple.
Lincoln, Neb., Aug. 13. Before
20,000 people William J. Bryan was
informed that he 13 the Democratic
candidate for the Presidency of the
I' lilted States.
He did not decline to become a
candidate. He assured the audience
that gathered In tho State Capitol
grounds here that he was willing to
be the Moses that would leud the peo.
pie of this country out of the land of
captivity and Into the fertile path
ways of the "promised land."
Mr. Bryan devoted himself to crit
icism of the Taft speech of accept
ance and the aralgnment of the Re
publican party for all the evils that
have made their appearance l'i tho
conutry during the past ten yearn.
Where the notification speech v.as
not controversial Mr. Bryan confined
hinsclf to three positive declara
tions: The Immediate convening of con
gress in extraordinary session follow
ing his Inauguration If elected, to
pars a mensure for the election of
I nited States Senators by popular
vcte.
The amendment of the rules of
procedure in the House of Represen
tatives tJ bring it "Into harmony
with the Ideas of those who framed
our constitution and founded our
government."
A promise that If the reforms pro
posed uy the Democratic platform
are not- applied to the Federal Gov
ernment now, other forms will have
to be applied at some time in the
future.
Those who thought that William
Jennings speech accepting the nomi
nation would be a compromise were
disappointed. He assailed tho Re
publican party and its candidate all
along the line, bis address being. In
fact, an attack on Republicanism
rather than a defense of Democracy.
Although he announced that he
would discuss later and in greater
detail the various issues of the cam
paign, he glanced at each of the more
important In passing.
His thesis was "Shall the People
Rule?" He declared that he was In
entire sympathy with the letter and
spirit of the Democratic platform,
an charged that the Republican par
ty Is powerless to end the corporation
abuses the existence of which it ad
mits. He quoted from one of Presi
dent Roosevelt's speeches In which
the executive attacks "predatory
wealth," and then read an excerpt
from the speech of Judge Taft in re
ply to the notification of his nomina
tion, showing that the Republican
candidate is In complete accord with
the Republican President. Then
Mr. Bryan asked:
"If the President's indictment of
predatory wealth Is true, against
whom Is It directed? Not against
the Democratic party." Ho quoted
from the Republican platform of
1904 the boast that Republicans have
been in power the great portion of
tho time since the war, and from Mr.
Taft to the efTect that tho abuses
complained of have crept In during
tho past ten years.
"During that time," said Mr. Bry
an, the Republican party has been in
complete control of every branch of
the government. With a Republican
President to recommend, and with a
Republican House and Senate to car
ry his recommendations Into effect,
why should the Republican candidate
now be pleading for more time in
which to end these abuses? Tho Ru.
publican party is powerless to puri
fy itself while it remains in power."
Not until that party has been hum
bled by a period of fasting In tho
wilderness will It be ablo to see the
true light, ho declared.
Some Extracts From Mr
Speech Are:
Bryan s
"Why does not Mr. Taft say that
ho favors the publication of political
contributions before election? Why
wait to lock the door until the horso
Is stolen?"
"Mr. Taft declares that evils havo
crept in within tho last ten yeai;s.
During that time Republican officials
were In power in every branch of
the government.'
"Tho Republican party Is Impotent
to accomplish the reforms that are
imperatively demanded."
"Shall tho representatives of pred
atory wealth prey upon a defenselenc
public, securing Immunity through
subservient oflldals they ralso to of
llco by unscrupulous means?"
"With a Republican President to
recommend, with a Republican Sou
ate and House lo carry out hht rec
ommendations, why does tho Repub
lican candidate plead for further time
in which to carry out what should
iiavo been done long ago?"
"The Republican party wi.l bo so
obligated by campaign contributions
as to be powerless to bring to the
country any material relief from
present tariff burdens."
