of the journey were perilous. TU«
rear motor refused to work and the
forward motor alone could not de
velop sufficient strength to drive the
airship against the wind.
Several anxious hours were spent
by the aeronauts before an opportu
nity offered to make a safe landing.
The airship left Friedrlchshafen
early in the morning and five hours
later appeared In the air over the out
skirts of Munich. A distance of 111
miles was covered in five hours. The
count left Friedrichshafen with the
intention of trying to sail from there
to Munich and back. It was his in
tention to land at Munich in the pres
ence of the prince regent and the en
tire garrison of Munich, but owing to
a squally and increasing wind the
maneuver was impossible. The at
tempt was made over the parade
grounds ortslde the city, but as soon
as it was seen to be impossible the
•hip was lifted again into the air.
The count then tried to return to
Munich, but by this time the wind
was so Htrr-ng that he could make no
headway against it. When the seri
ousness of the situation waft realized

The count endeavored to overcome
the resistance of the wind by rising
to a greater altitude, but this maneu
ver apparently was not successful,
for the balloon was driven rapidly
from the Bight of the people of Munich
in a northeasterly direction. A few
hoars later it landed near this city.
TWELVE HUNDRED
SOLDIERS ON DUTY
6uard Prisoners During Fire at
Fort Leavenworth.
Leavenworth, Kan., April 2.—It took
1,200 United States soldiers to main
tain order and to prevent prisoners
from escaping during a fire which de
stroyed four buildings of the federal
military prison here.
All the 800 prisoners were marched
out of their cellhouses when it seemed
that the whole prison certainly would
be destroyed and were held under
heavy military guard until the fire
was under control. Then after some
of the cellhouses had cooled suffi
clently they were marched back again.
The Are was discovered before mid
night by a sentry, who fired his pistol.
The fire call was sounded and the en
tire garrison at Fort Leavenworth
turned out. The Thirteenth infantry
was thrown around the prison.
The fire, which probably started in
the prison tailor shop, gained rapid
eheadway against the prison guard
working with buckets and small hose.
The fire department of Leavenworth
answered an emergency call and
'joined forces with the soldiers in a
battle against the flames. The fire
was confined to the central row of
buildings and consumed the Industrial
departments of the prison, including
the paint, tailor and carpenter shops
and the laundry. The buildings con
tataed many combustible*.

MADISON, SOUTH DAKOTA, FRIDAY. APRIL, 2, 1909
SENATE WILL
AWAIT TARIFF
Decides Not to Consider
Other Legislation.
BALE PLAN IS APPROVED
In Spite of Objection en the Part of
Some of the Membere a Majority
Votes to Do Nothing Until the
Payne Bill le Received From the
House—Heyburn Makes an Bgffnest
Plea Against Programme.
Washington, April t.—The senate,
by a viva voce vote, adopted Senator
Male's resolution to confine the touei
tt sB of the extra session to the con
siii^ration of the tariff question to the
exclusion of everything else except
the bill making provision for the thir
teenth census.
The discussion was participated in
by Senators Culberson, Bacon, Talia
t'erro, Bailey, William Alden Smith
ai• I. Heyburn. Mr. Smith objeted
that the resolution practically placed
the senate in recess until the tariff
bill is brought in.
.Mr. Heyburn made an earnest ple«
for the exception of tfc£ reports of the
committee on revisl^ of the laws,
which is preparing a recodification of
the federal statutes. He said that the
ir.mmittee has been constantly en
gaged in this work and urged that it
might just as well as not be heard at
this time when there is very little to
engage the attention of the senate
winle the tariff bill is being prepared.
Mr Heyburn expressed the opinion
that there are other important matters
of legislation besides the tariff.
Mr. Hale, however, declined to yield
to Mr. Heyburn, saying that if any
exception was made other committees
would also seek recognition, with the
result that it would be impossible to
give concentrated action to the tariff
which the president had suggested aa
necessary in order to procure expedi
tious action on that Important subject
of legislation.
ATTENDANCE' VERY SMALL
Debate on the Tariff Bill Contlnuee in
the Houee.
Washington, April 2.—The plan of
the Republican leaders to close gen
eral debate on the tariff bill having
been abandoned there was only a
slight increase in the attendance when
the house met.
Opening the day's debate Mr. Can
trill (Ky.), in his maiden speech as a
representative, discussed the tobacco
and hemp schedules. Because tobacco
was the prey of a great trust he said
it needed protection. Mr. Cantrill
urged that the bill be amended so
that they may not be discriminated
against, but that such a duty for rev
enue should be applied as would not
cripple those industries in his state
and elsewhere.
A general defense of the bill was
made by Mr. Gaines (W. Va.), a mem
bar of the committee on ways and
means. In preparing the Payne bill,
he said, the committee proceeded upon
the principle that if there was any
thing in the Dingley schedules more
than enough to protect and behind
whieh persons could combine and un
duly hold up prices the Republican
party was required to lop off that ex
eaas, "and that," be said, "we have
undertaken to do in this bi&*
REPRIMANDED BY MR. TAFT
Members Who Said He Endorsed "In
surgent" Movements.
Washington, April 2.—At a meeting
of the Republican members of the
Ohio house delegation it was agreed
to suggest to the rules committee
that the house be given an opportu
nity in connection with the Payne
bill for a separate vote on coffee, tea,
lumber and hides. The delegation
was far from being unanimous in op
position to any of the provisions of
the bill, but all agreed there should
be a vote on these items.
The general situation was much im
proved, the house leaders said. The
report was current that President Taft
had gently reprimanded some mem
bers of the house for representing him
as having endorsed "insurgent'* move
ments against the bill.
After Due Deliberation.
Washington, April 2.—Speaker Can
non, after a conference w'*h Presi
dent Taft, was asked when h« thought
the house would vote on the Payne
tariff bill. "God knows," he replied
He added that no vote would be taken
Sntil after opportunity for due delib
eration had been given.
More bunragettee uo to mii.
London, April 2.—Nine of the mill
tant female suffragettes who were ar
rested while attemjptinf to toros y

were arraigned in the Bow street po
lice court and sent by the magistrate
to Join their sifters in Holloway Jail

surety for their good behavior.
Pet Dog 8aves Five Lives.
Detroit, Mich., April 2.—A pet dog
saved the lives of five members of
the family of Glenn Mott in Wyan
dotte, a suburb. Mrs Mott was awak
ened by the dog tugging at the bed
clothes and found the house in flames.
The occupants had just tin* to es

WILL END DAYS IN ASYLUM
Famous Turf Plunger Blind and
Broken in Health.
Oakland. Cal., April 2.—Sightless,
broken in health and with his mind
unhinged Edward W. Purser, whose
fame as a plunger rang through all
turfdom some twelve years ago and
whose daring wagers and unfailing
luck made his name a byword wher
ever fast horses are matched in the
sport of kings, lies in the Emergency
hospital with the certainty before him
of ending his days in a state asylum
for the insane.
Fourteen years ago Purser first
came to this coast, bringing with him
a string of racers. Among them was
the famous "breadwinner," Buckwa.
At that time Purser was associated
with Riley Giannan, who died at Raw
hide, Nev., something over a year ago,
Grannan hit the down grade that year,
never to regain his place in the sport
ing world, but Purser found luck al
ways at his elbow for several years
and added to his fortune.
Gradually ill health overcame him.
however, and then his luck deserted
him and he drifted steadily along the
downward course.
