MRS. JOHN F. SHAFROTH
Mrs. John F. Shafroth, wife of the
Colorado senator and former governor
of that state, is one of the devoted
wives of congressmen who braved the
hot summer days to remain In Wash
ington by their huBbands' Bides until
congress flnully adjourns. Every year
during the extra session, which seems
to have becomo a regular thing, the
majority of congressional women leave
the capital for cooler places, but there
are always a few who believe that if
their husbands have to endure it they
must too, and Mrs. Shafroth Is ouo of
these.
MRS. LLOYD-GEORGE
This is the first photograph in this
country of Mrs. Lloyd-George, wife of

woman and is very popular.

Vienna. Nine terribly-burned and
mutilated bodies, the splintered frag
ments of an aeroplane and the charred
remnants of a big dirigible bulloou
are the mute records of ono of th
moHt tragic, certainly tho most sen
sational, diHaHters which have oc
curred since man learned to 11 y. Th
chtaKtrophe, which resulted in tho
death of all concerned, followed a
mimic attack by the aeroplane on the
dlrlglblo at a great height during thn
Austrian Army maneuver)), and Jt
serves to show, more than any pre
vious accidents to flying machines
have done, the horrors that would
bo likely to attend aerial warfare.
The dirigible military balloon Koert
ling left Klschamend, a market town,
11 miles from Vienna, at 8 o'clock.
Sho was manned by Captuin Johaan
llauswlrth, In command; Lieutenant
Ernst llofstette, Lieutenant Druer,
Lieutenant llnilliiKcr, Corporal Had
lma, Corporal Weber and Engineer
Kammerer.
At tho lapse of half an hour a mill
tary aeroplane of tho biplane type,
with Lieutenant Klutz aboard, started
In pursuit.
Sham Fight Expected.
It was the Intention of Captain
Hnuswirth to take photographs of the
movements of tho troops below, and
then to Join In tho maneuvers. At
the samo tlmo he was to keep out of
rango of any of tho mosquito .craft
which might seek to attack 1)1 m.
The news had gone abroad that
something in the nature of a sham
nerlnl fight would tako place and at
KonlgBberg, the sceno of tho engage
inent, a big crowd had gathered. Very
quickly tho smaller, but much speed
ier, craft overtook the big airship
and then the spectators witnessed a
thrilling sight.
As might a wasp bent on attacking
soino clumsy enemy, the aeroplane
circled several times around the bal
loon, now darting close to her and
then away, ulways apparently steering
off Just In time to avoid an actual col
lision. Meanwhile, the balloon continued to
rise until It was about 1.300 feet from
the ground. The aeroplane, at a Mill
greater height maneuvered until it ap
peared to be nearly over the airship.
Then it began its descent.
It was the evident Intention of the
pilot ef the aeroplane to take up a
position directly above the dirigible,
within striking distance, but, owing
either to a fatal miscalculation of the
distance separating the two craft, or
of speed, the nose of the biplane
struck tho envelope of the airship and
ripped It wldo open.
The Balloon Bursts. '
A tremendous explosion followed;
the balloon burst Into flames, which
enveloped the biplane, and In a mo
ment the wreckage began to drop,
crashing at length like lead to the
slope of a hill.
The envelope of tho balloon wan
still burning when It struck the
ground. Lieutenant HrU, when ex
tricated from the wreckage of the
neroplanp, showed fnlnt signs of life;
his body quivered and he seemed to
le making an, effort to ralso himself,
but almost Immediately he expired.
All the other aviators were killed In
ktantly. According to somo experts, tho ca
tastrophe seemingly was caused by
the aeroplane being cnught in the ed
dies from the balloon. They attribute
the accident to a species of whirl
wind caused by tho nlrshlp's propel
ler, which drew In the smaller machine.
