AIRSHIP HITS TREE AT END OF 850 MILE SAIL Count Zeppelin's Aerial Craft Sustains Serious Injury in Germany Vessel's Prow Smashed In, Covering Torn and It is in Danger of a Storm Record of 37 Hours in Air Is Made, but Inventor Is Disappointed f S*% OETTIKGEN*. May 31.— After cov l — ering a. distance of about £50 miles in 57 hours Count Zeppe 11ns airship on its return trip from Bitterfeld to Friedrichshafen came to grief in an open field near here today. In maueuvering for a landing the airship came in contact with a tree and its position tonight was very, dan gerous. The damage to the ship is much more serious than at first thought. A cursory examination direct ly after the accident showed that the envelope had been torn and it was thought that the injury could be re paired and that the vessel .would pro ceed tonight- A more-careful exami nation, however, disclosed' that the prow was broken and that considerable time must elapVe before the ' journey could be continued. Storm May Wreck Ship The position of the craft, was con sidered extremely unfavorable, the ground being very hillyl The bow rest ed on the ground < with the Etern about 65. feet in the air. A strong breeze eprang up toward evening, causing no little anxiety for the safety of the airship, which it was feared would be wrecked ? hould a storm come up during the night. After • cbn6i.derablp la.bor * and with , ;>« ayeistan^c of j«oraV 'cf;.'. those who had gathered at the scene of the acci dent, Count Zeppelin was'abl* to shift the position of his airship a. little, and icufi give better protection from the wind. That the collision was heavy Is indicated by the broken and bent strips of aluminum lying" about the cround and the half split branches 'gangling from the trunk of the trees.' Enormous crows soon assembled and it became almost impossible for ve hicles to pass along the public high •ways. Was Landing for Benzine When the accident occurred Count Zeppelin was landing for the purpose of replenishing his supply of benzine, which was nearly exhausted. The motors already, had stopped , and the airship was nearing the .ground on a meadow when a sudden strong puff of wind drove the prow out of its course •nd against a pear tree. It struck -with a crash, smashing the prow almost up to the front of the grondola and crushing the aluminum stays into a shapeless mass, which be came inextricably enmeshed in the branches. Nearly 100 feet of the en velope and frame were destroyed. Count Zeppelin immediately came. to Goettingen in an" automobile and tele graphed to Friedrichshafen for work men to make repairs. After resting for several hours at a hotel he returned In the evening to the scene of the ac cident, proceeding thence by. automo bile to Frfedrichshafen. He will re turn here tomorrow morning. Permanent repairs probably will re quire six weeks in order to get the' ship to Manzell. A new prow, much shorter than the original, will be con structed .without the vertical steering A -sines. Xo one was Injured In the acci vtent, but It greatly .depressed Count \u25a0Zeppelin. .** .Would Make Trials Here WASHINGTON. May 31.— Officers of the signal corps who' have .conducted the aeronautical tests for the govern ment were encouraged by the reports of Zeppelin's flight. They believed that it will arouse public interest In the United States to- support a suitable appropriation for * aeronautical work.

The wharves belonged to James L. Flood and Clar ence Mackay and were, managed by the Nevada warehouse and dock com pany, of which John Rosenfeld"s Sons were the principal owners. The blaze is believed to have been catued by a carelessly thrown cigarette. The fira was a -particularly difficult' one to fight and it was not unti! the South ern Pacific had dispatched thre« lo- comotives to the, scene and an oil steamer had been employed to pump water that the flames were checked. Alarms Sent to Oakland ..Alarms were sent to Oakland and preparations were being made to rush engines to the spot, when it was reported, that the surrounding prop erty was fully protected. : The locomo tives \u25a0': and the oil boat pumped . heavy streams of water, but the flames had gained such headway that it was ' de cided to "direct- all efforts toward sav ing the nearby property rather than to combating the blaze itself. The flames .were confined to warehouses 1 and 2 and to the two wharves respectively SOO and 6 On. feet long. The first attempts to fight the fire were almost fuWe. The timber was dry and the high wind helped to spread the blaze. The employes of the dock company fought with such apparatus as was at hand, but the facilities were entirely inadequate. It was then that the call for help was sent Into Oak land. The locomotives were at once hurried to the locality, and in the meantime an oil steamer anchored nearby sailed . close to the burning wharves. Built 26 Years Ago The piers and warehouses were built 26 years ago by James Flood and Joha Mackay, two . famous California pioneers. \u25a0 The property has be«n re tained in the two families and Is now owned jointly by the sons of th« two pioneers. The wharves have been used for, storage and shlpprns purposes, and, although' at times . they . have held produce worth millions of dollars, there was only a few thousand dollar** worth of' grain, hops and cement la the warehouses yesterday. A car of lumber was also ' consumed. Henry Roaenfeld, a member of the company that manages the docks and warehouses, said yesterday that lie did not believe the loss would exceed $75,000. The Hirst reports from Port Costa placed the damage at $750,000, but later it was stated that this -was grossly exaggerated, and that $100,000 would be nearer the correct Hgurv. '"I; have only meajer reports,* said Rosenfeld last night, "but I do not be lieve .the loss will, go over $73,000. I have *no exact figures at . hand, ''but I do * not think . th«re , was < more than $10,000 worth of > hops and grain 'In storage in the two warehouses.- There were «about 250 tons of grain and a few hundred bales of hops. We had no interest' in the docks * and- warehouses except that we managed -them. They belong to Flood ; arid 'Mackay." \u25a0 FLYING TRAIN STOPPED % IN TIME TO SAVE CHILD Engineer Throws On Brakes and Misses Tot by Ten Feet MEDINA. N. T..
