ZEPPELIN EXPLODES. Twenty-eight Germans Killed ^\lien Airship is Destroyed by Gas. Berlin, Ociober IT.?Twenty-eight persons were killed today near Johanliisthal in the explosion and fall of j Count Zeppelin's latest dirigible bal- ' loon, the "L-II."

One man, Lieut, j Baron von Bleut of the Queen Augusta Grenadier guards, a guest of the admiralty board, was extricated alivefrom the mass of twisted wreckage. His eyes were burned out and he suffered other terrible hurts. Beginning his rescues to kill him and end his sufferings he was taken to a hospital where he died tonight. The "L-II had it proved successful, would have been attached to the serial corps of the navy, which after today's fatalities now has only two men trained to command airships. ^ The official report ot the accident eays the explosion was due to the ignition of gas in or ahove the forward gondola, but not wHhin the body of the airship. The navy was not the only sufferer today through aviation accidents, for throe army officers were killed in aeroplane flights?Ciapt. Haeseles, Lieut. Koch and Sergt. Mante. >0 NEW DISTRICT. Project for South Carolina Slipping.? Enough Business. Washington, Occ. 16.?The State's correspondent had information today frnm a sonrfP whir.h is helieved to I be entirely reliable and trustworthy that there will be lio new western district of South Carolina, as contemplated in bills recently offered by Senator Tillman and Representative Aiken, and that in a^l probability the last has been heard of this new dis- j trict matter for a long time to come.j The reasons which are believed to ' have brought about the present sit- } uanon arose irom me xaci tuai uze j department of justice is said :o have made careful and painstaking inquiry from high sources as to the feasi-! bility of authorizng this new western district and that the information given by those to whom appeal was i made was to the effect that there was i not business enough in the proposed 1 western district to justify its crea-! tion at the !hands of congress. Most j jof the federal business in South Carolina, it is said, arises in what would 1 be the eastern district; there are no j admirality cases in what would be the ! western district, and the latter would be left to try almost altogether violations of the internal revenue laws, t This is said to have been one of the' reason's which the department of | justice found to militate against the plan of creating an eastern district. It will readily be seen that with all of the most important business of the federal courts to be handled ?n the eastern district, there wotald be little left for the western district to do, except, as stated, to give attention of internal revenue cases. Another reason assigned is that should the new district be authorized, to would result in the salaries of the district attorneys nor the marshals \ being materially reduced. While the salaries of i:hese officials I are fixed in the ne^* bills now pending at $4,500 a year each, it is said that should the bills pass it would result in a cut and that neither *.he district atorneys nor the marshals i would receive the amounts mentioned. In other words, two district attorneys would not receive $9,000 a year, and two marshals would not receive a similar amount. This is one of the reasons said to have been given :o Attorney? General McReynolds why the State should remain as it is now, with but one district. This information will doubtless be received by many persons in South Carolina with a considerable degree ^ A nr f V? a r\r>-? Karc Af ui surynsc. Ainuug uuc uicuiuv/i o v?j. he legal fraternity who have watch-! ed the matter closely it will doubtless not be acceptable news to learn that, unless present plans are changed, South Carolina will continue with but ;ne district, as now constituted. these two reasons are said to have ')een satisfactory to the department of justice, and The State's informant was of the opinion that in all probability, as stated, there would be no i of lo5ct of thic 'HrriP I ?1 C W U ii3 H IV I ^ u> O a \,u>j v u v vu ^ >. ..?? ? .
