BERLIN. Aug. 9. Tha airship Zeppelin
III, wltk Count Zeppelin at tha helm, ar
rived eefely at Berlin shortly after noon
today. Tha voyage from Frledrlchshafen,
where the atart was made at 4;S0 o'clock
Friday morning, was marked by an acci
dent to tha alrahlp, which cauaed a consid
erable delay at Bltterfeld. At that point
Count Zeppelin met tha craft and waa
greeted by tae crown prince, representing
the emperor. The emperor htmaelf wit
nested tha arrival of tha alrahlp here to
day. Two monerohs of tha air. Count Zeppelin
and Orvllle Wright, tha foremoat exponenta
of distinct systems of aerial navigation,
met at Berlin this afternoon for tha first
time. They were Introduced to one an
other by tha monarch of the German em
pire. Mr. Wright, during tha course of a
conversation with tha emperor, waa sur
prised at his majesty's knowledge of flying
machines and the results achieved. The
emperor expressed regret that ha would be
unable to sea Mr. Wright fly at Berlin
wing to other engagements. In a talk
with Count Zeppelin. Mr. Wright expreetied
admiration for the wonderful airship the
eount had constructed. He said he would
like to sea experiments with smaller craft
on tha same system, however, as vessels
uch as those used by tha count were too
expensive.
From one end of Berlin to tha other the
shout, 'Zeppelin la here," rang out The
people's desire to see the giant dirigible
with tha renowned constructor at the helm
cruising over the roofs of the capital at
last waa to be gratified. Berlin waa
happy, aa tha count had announced that at
13:80 ha would appear over tha Tempelhuf
parade grounda..
Start Early la Morals-.
Tha alrahlp left Bltterfeld early In tha
rnorning with tha eount. his nephew, En
gineer Puerr, who had navigated It
from Frledrlchshafen, and eight others
board. Soma repairs had been effected,
but only three propellor wre working, tha
one which - was lost not having been re
placed. Tha motors worked perfectly and
the trip to Berlin waa made without mis
hap. Wittenberg and Juterbog were pasned
amid tha cheering ef thousands. Potts-
dam, the city of palacea, was thronged
with crowda to wltaesa the flight of the
airship. For soma minutes tha ship hov
ered over the gardens of Sans Souol and
than turned in the direction of Berlin,
slackening speed so as not to arrive before
the aoheduled hour.
The roofa of houses, church towers and
the open spaces In the outsklrta of the
city swarmed with people, who cheered
and waved flags and handkerchiefs as the
vessel passed over. Tempelhuf field was
rrched Just after tha conclusion of churoh
services. Tha emperor and empress had
motored from the dedication service of the
newly built garrison church, which was
burned down several months ago. They
'arrived at tha special tribune constructed
In tba center of the Immense field Just
as the bows of the airship appeared over
the edge of the parade ground. The thou
sands who had gathered there sighted the
craft at tba same moment and a roar of
cheering went up. "Zeppelin," "Zeppelin,"
was the cry from every throat. The
church bells rang out and the military
band played the national anthem.
Maaeever Over City.
Zeppelin meanwhile had descended to a
low altitude and carried out a series of
Intricate evolutions gracefully in full view
of the people. Then the balloon's nose
waa turned toward tha city, over which It
circled for two hours In all directions, ex
ecuting every manner of maneuver and as
cending and descending, sometimes coming
ao close to the earth that the spectators
could sea tha facea of tha occupants of
the gondolas.
Tha emperor and empress, accompanied
by tha princes and princesses, p-oceeded
to TegeU where a small company gathered
around the Imperial group on the shooting
range, which waa destined to be the
landing place. Tha city councillors, prom
inent military officials and tha foreign at
taches, including Captain 8. O. Shartle,
the attache of tha American embassy, as
sembled there to await the arrival of the
count. Tha emperor, who had specially
sent Prof. Hergesell, government commis
sioner on airships, to invite Orvllle Wright
and his sister to join the party, gave them
a most harty welcome. Ills majesty con
gratulated Mr. Wright on his great suo
cess In air navigation. Then tha balloon
came slowly ovsr the field, the motors
stopping and the vessel glided to the
ground. Tha band played and the em
peror saluted as Count Zeppelin stepped
forward. His majesty then advanced and
shook bands heartily. He presented Mr.
Wright to tha count and the American
aeronaut and Count Zeppelin exchanged
cone r alula lions.
Later, with the count aeated at his right,
his majesty proceeded to the castle, v. Ik-re
lunch was served. The spectators all along
the route shouted themselves hoarse and
waved flags until the procession disap
peared. Tha emperor left for Swlnemunde
late In the afternoon, while Count Zeppelin
returned to Frledrlchshafen by train to
Bight. The airship started at 11:34 tonight on its
return voyage to Frledrlchshafen. It took
southwesterly course.

WASHINGTON. Aug. W.-The events
which transpire in the field of aeronautics
within the next month will determine the
course which the secretary of war and tke
signal corps of the army will follow with
respect to Uie equipment of the army with
trilUa kaiimwu. A year ago it waa Ute

"I think I will take you out buggy riding
with me tomorrow," the doctor said to his
granddaughter, and those were his last
words.
While his Injuries had caused him some
pain and uneasiness, they had not alarmed
either him or his family, and his death was
a terrible, shock. He bad not determined
Just exactly where he was Injured. Mrs.
Borglum and other members of his family
were In the room at the time and had not
thought of the doctor's condition being so
grave. Death approached without apparent
pain and there waa no exclamation to in
dicate suffering. Dr. Borglum simply
ceased speaking and died as If he had
fallen asleep.
Nothing has been done or will be done
as to funeral arrangements until other
members of the family are heard from. It
la probable, however, that interment will be
In an Omaha cemetery.
Dr. Borglum mas the father of the fa
mous sculptors. Outran and Solon Borglum
of New York. His other children are:
August M. Borglum, musician; Mrs. Anna
Darlow, widow of the late Alfred Darlow;
Arnold S. Borglum of tha Darlow Adver
tising Agency; Misses Theodora and Har
riet Borglum of Amador, Cal. All mem
bers of the family have been notified and
are expected to come for the funeral.
Dr. Borglum waa : jrn In HJorrlng, Den
mark. August 18, .&. He had lived In
Omaha for over thl.-ty years. He came to
this city In 174, but soon after went to
Fremont, where he practiced awhile, then
returned to Omaha and remained here con
tinuously since.
He was a student of Dr. W. H. II. Stsson,
who came to Omaha In 1868 from New Bed
ford, Mass., but Dr. Borglum was gradu
ated from the St. Louis Homeopathic Medi
cal college in 1874 and came directly to
Omaha. He had been In other towns in
the west, but was Identified with this city
as one of its oldest physicians. He was
well preserved for a man of his years.

ATHENS, Aug. 23. The orttus in political
affairs here, which reached, lis height in
the mutiny of the local garrison and the
formation of a new cabinet, has subsided.
A decree was published today granted am
nesty to the .troops concerned In the mili
tary movement and those who have been
encamped outside of the city for the last
twenty-four hours, numbering 048, returned
this afternoon to their respective barracks.
They were addressed by their leader.
Colonel Zorbas, who said that as the na
tion had approved their demands and the
king had granted amnesty, they must re
turn to the path of loyalty and discipline.
The city is tranquil. It is stated the
crown prince will resign the chief command
of the army. Among the reforms demanded
by the troops were that the general com
mand of the army should be entrusted to
three officers of the rank of general, act
ing under the supreme authority of a royal
prince, the other members of the royal fam
ily to be treated as ordinary officers; that
foreign officers shall be appointed to re
organise the army and navy, the latter to
be strengthened by an Ironclad and eight
destroyers. Protest also was made against
the maintenance of several royal yachts, it
being contended that one for the king's use
was sufficient.
The new cabinet has Issued a statement
providing compliance with public opinion.
It will submit to Parliament proposals for
Internal and economic administrative re
forms, but will continue the government's
foreign policy unchanged.

ST. JOSEPH, Mo., Aug. 29.-In a fit of
Insanity this afternoon Mrs. Carrie San
ders, aged 41, of Florence addition, gave
five of her six children morphine. While
trying to feed the poison to the sixth she

aged I years, Is dead, but physicians say
they will save the Uvea of the other chil
dren. The mother also took poison and
cut her throat after making her confes
sion, but she Is expected to recover.
The husband of Mrs. Sanders was at
home when the children were poisoned, but
did not know what his wife was doing.
The child that died had been poisoned
about two hours before the others. The
children range In agea from 1 to 10 years.

Capital.
BEVERLY, Mass., Aug. 29. The resigna
tion of Ormsby McHarg, assistant secre
tary of the Department of Commerce and
Labor, will be accepted. Secretary Nagel,
head of the department, had an extended
conference with President Taft today and
discussed with the chief executive the
question of a successor to Mr. McHarg.
Secretary Nagel reoelved a letter from
the assistant secretary today saying that
he must adhere to his first Intention of re
maining In the department only for a pe
riod of she months. This terra of duty will
expire September 4 and by that time Sec
retary Nagel hopes to be ready to an
nounce the choice of a new assistant.
Mr. McHarg announced some time ago
that he soon would leave the government
servloe to engage In private business. In
his letter to Secretary Nagel he reminds
hlra of his Intention to leave the service,
but says that If a successor cannot be
found by September 1, he will continue In
office until October 1. Mr. McHarg's for
mal letter of resignation will follow.
There is no one In Beverly today willing
to say that Mr. McHarg's resignation was
In any wise the result of the Interview
with him published in Washington last
week in which the assistant secretary is
credited with having said soma rather
sharp things about Former President
RooBevelt and his policy of forest conserva
tion. Mr. McHarg Is reputed to have said that
the policy of conservation outlined by
President Roosevelt was too dream-like to
ever be of practical value and that only
"the Lord himself" would have carried it
out. Mr. McHarg further was represented
as having said that perhaps Mr. Roosevelt
thought himself equal to the Worker of
Miracles.
Taft Mast Take Cognisance.
Assistant Secretary McHarg is said to
have grown qulta bitter over the free man
ner in which some of the government of
ficials in Washington, generally, known as
the "Roosevelt element," have been criti
cising members of the Taft administra
tion. Consequently he is reported to have
expressed his own views In rather a forc
ible manner and the controversy started
by Chief Forester Plnchot with the secre
tary of the Interior, Mr. Balllnger, Is de
clered here to be growing to such propor
tions that the president will have to take
a hand In it and put the government house
at Washington In order.
Mr. Taft has been reluctant to take of
ficial cognizance of the controversy which
started at the Irrigation congress in Spo
kane, continued through the Transmis
sippl conference at Denver and since then
has been waged with more or less Intensity
at the national capital. He had hoped
that the whole affair was a tempest In a
teapot which soon would simmer down
without any action on his part. It seems
now, however, as though he would have to
take a hand In the tangle and straighten
It out.
In addition to the secretary of commerce
and labor, President Taft had with hlra
this afternoon the secretary of state, Mr.
Knox, and the secretary of the navy, Mr.
Meyer. It is said that the Plnchot-Bal-linger
controversy had a large share In
the deliberations of the cabinet confer
ence. President Taft has no engagement
to see Secretary Balllnger earlier than Just
prior to his arrival in Seattle on Septem
ber 29. Mr. Balllnger has been Invited and
has accepted an invitation to accompany
the president on a large part of the latter's
Pacific coast itinerary. The invitation was
extended prior to the outbreak of the con
troversy and has no especial significance.
It will offer an opportunity, however, un
less an earlier one Is taken, for Mr. Bal
llnger to lay his side of the controversy
before the president.
Some Precedents.
In all matters affecting departments
under the control of cabinet officers, it has
been the presidentt's policy to uphold the
cabinet member unfailingly. Secretary
Nagel recently had a controversy with the
former director of the census, S. N. D.
norm, -mere were i many predictions at
the time that Director North would be up
held. President Taft, however, approved
the course of his cabinet officer and Mr.
North s resignation was accepted. Friends
of Secretary Balllnger are drawing
parallel from this episode to fit the present
controversy.
The president, while refusing absolutely
to discuss the Pinchot-Ballinger contro
versy In any way, has Intimated to friends
that he hopes that no drastic action will
be necessary. Mr. Taft Is soon to traverse
the territory where the conservation plans
are or supreme importance.

OARRIMAN HAS COOD DAY
Rector McGniness Makes aa Author!-
tative Statement.
HEALTH STEADILY IMPROVES
Air of Cheerfulness Pervades tke
Harriman Homo and ' Indica
tions Crista ta Considered
Past,
ARDEN, N. T., Aug. 29.-"Mr. Harriman
Is better. You may say that Mrs. Harri
man and all of us are very happy over
the steady Improvement In his health since
he came to Arden House. So far as I know
this Is tha first authorised statement made
by any member of the Harriman house
hold and I am most solicitous that it should
be printed precisely as I present It."
The foregoing statement waa made this
afternoon by Rev. J. Holmes McQuiness,
H. Harrlraan'a personal chaplain, who
spoke conservatively . and- with authority,
after dining with thi fegrrhpan family7 to
day and talking with' Its head.
"My, position - In this matter is very
sharply defined. 7 said Mr. MoQulness. "I
am Mr. Harriman's personal chaplain. He
took me up aa a mere boy when I was
only 15 and I feel bound to him by ties of
deepest gratitude. But I will make you a
concession. If you think an anonuncement
as positive as I can give you would put an
end to sensational remarks, I would do
what I can to help you. and I speak as a
Christian clergyman all that I can tell you
Is that Mr. 'Harriman Is better now and
that we are all very happy about It."
All More Cheerfal.
All that was heard here today seemed to
echo the cheerful opinion of Rev. Dr. Mc
Quiness. Mr. Harriman did not 'leave his
room until afternoon, when he went on
the veranda for a sun bath. C. T. Ford,
his superintendent, said when he came
down the mountain shortly before noon.
that he had not seen Mr. Harriman today,
but that the word at the house was that
he had spent a good night and developed
no new or alarming symptoms.
Mrs. Harriman, accompanied by her son,
Roland, and his tutor, drove this morning
to St. John's Episcopal church. It was
after the service that Rev. Dr. McQuiness
returned as the family guest at the mid
day dinner.
St John's is a little church about a quar
ter of the way up the mountain between
Arden station and the Harriman residence.
Mrs. Harriman was questioned after the
service concerning her husband's condition.
but she replied with a smile:
That is a matter I cannot speak of out
side of my family."
That was all she would say, although she
lingered after church and talked wlUf the
rector and a visiting Episcopal clergyman
who assisted In the service. Her faos
showed plainly the strain of the last few
days and she seemed relieved when she
was seated In the carriage again, returning
to her husband.
Mr. Harriman was not referred to during
the service, but the hymns chosen and the
sermon bore a certain fitness to the thought
uppermost in the mind of nearly every one
In the congregation. When the little white
clad choir of farmers' daughters led the
congregation In "Nearer My God to Thee,"
tears stood In Mrs. Harriman's eyes, and
more than one man In the pews sang with
a choke in his voice.
Receives First Visitors.
Rev. Dr. Foster Hall of Cutonsvllle, Md.,
who preached the sermon, took as his text,
"Come Unto Me, All Te That Are Weary
and Heavyladen, and I Will Give You
Rest."
"Every one," said he, "must bear a yoke
of some kind. With some It Is ambition.

FRANK J. MORIARIT DEAD
Cashier of Packers' National Bank
Dies of Ptomaine Poisoning.
WILL BE BURIED TOMORROW
Beetan Service In tke Bank Nineteen
Years Asro and Made Remark
able Record, Having; Still
Brighter Futnre.
Frank J. Moriarty, 209 South Thirty-fifth
street, cashier of the Packers National
bank, died of ptomaine poison yesterday at
11:80 a. m. at St. Joseph's hospital at the
age of SB.
The funeral will be held Tuesday morn
ing at 8:30 from the residence of John Rush,
1323 Martha street. Services will be held
at St. Cecilia's church and Interment will
be In Holy Scpulcher cemetery.
Mr. Moriarty Is survived by his mother,
four Bisters, two brothers and his wife.
Tha Bisters are Mrs. James Hartnett and
Mrs. Jofiii Douggan. The brothers are Rev.
David W. Moriarty, pastor of the Catholli
church at Benr.on; Charles P. Moriarty,
Eugene Moriarty and Thomas Moriarty.
Mr. Moriarty had been 111 but one week
and his death Is a severe shock to the hosts
of friends he had In both Omaha and South
Omaha. He waa unusually successful In
his business and his death removes a vital
power from local banking circles in general
and from the Packers National bank In
particular. Old bankers had predicted for
him a future of great prominence. His
rise, starting as he did at the very bottom,
had been rapid and his familiarity with
every detail of the banking business made
him a valuable asset to the Institution with
which he was so prominently connected.
Also Popular Socially.
, Aside from his qualities as a business
man, Mr. Moriarty was popular socially.
Naturally affable, he drew to himself large
numbers of friends.
Mr. Moriarty was born and reared in
Milford, Mass. In the 'Ws he came west
with his parents. He taught school in Da
kota county, Nebraska, for a while and In
1890, at the age of 16, came to Omaha. In
1893 he married Margaret Rush, daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. John Rush, another of whose
daughters married Charles Moriarty, a
brother. Immediately on coming to Omaha
young Moriarty secured a position In the
Nebraska Savings bank of South Omaha as
a paying teller. This bank waa subse
quently changed to the Packers National.
About 1806 Moriarty was placed In the posi
tion of cashier, which he held to his death.
His rise was steady and rapid and due to
his own resources.
The mother of the Morlartys will be at
the funeral. She and her son, Charles,
formerly In the office of the clerk of the
district court under Frank A. Broadwell,
had left Charles' home In Oklahoma before
the death of Frank, coming to Omaha,
from which the mother will return to her
home In Massachusetts.

INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. 29 James Garrett,

brought the boy here to try to persuade
his wife to return to Evansville with them.
fcihe refused and Garrett shot her, shot at
his son and missed him and then shot him

to add to the horror of the situation the
rain continued and cauaed great suffering
to the thousands of homeless persons who
had congregated on the various plasas,
their only homes In the emergency. The
destructive flood, due to the continued fall
of rain for the last ninety-six hours, swept
everything before It and hardly a vestlgo
Is left of what was a few days ago a con
glomeration of small huts swarming with
families belonging to the poorer olasses,
and Is variously placed as containing from
100 to 1,000 people.
The flood reached Its crest between 1 and
3 o'clock and many families were swept
away with hardly a chance to fight for
their lives. With the onrush of the water,
pandemonium reigned aha as the poor
wretches were swept from their homes, on
the tops of which many had sought shel
ter, never for a moment anticipating that
the water would reach an unprecedented
height, pitiful appeals for assistance could
be heard rising above the roar of the
waters by those on higher ground, but who
were powerless to render aid of any ktnd.
Homes Open to Hefaarees.
Last night every effort was made to
shelter the. women and children. Homes
were thrown open to the sufferers; the po
lice station, many of the hotels and private
clubs, as well as the rooms of several or
ganisations were placed at the disposal of
the authorities and for the greater part
the women and children were cared for.
However, many of tha men were com
pelled to sleep in the open In the. various
plaxaa. Both Zaragosa and Hidalgo plasas
were crowded with people tnroughout the
night and a gacat throng oongvegated in'
tills vicinity, which la on high ground. In
order to witness the rampage or the river.
Already many bodies have been recovered,
but it is Impossible to accurately state the
number, it is learned that the police rec
ords show that 400 bodies have not been
recovered up to noon today. Yet scores
upon scores are still believed to be lodged
at various points along the stream, and It
may be weeks before they are recovered,
and many never will be found.
Pitiful scenes are reported among the
women and children. Many women have
been separated from their husbands;
mothers from their children without knowl
edge of the whereabouts of one another,
and scenes of the most profound grief are
witnessed on all hands.
At 11 o'clock this morning rain was still
falling and to add to the disaster the Santa
Catarlna had worked out for Itself a new
channel, dividing into two raging streams
and separating In such a manner that an
other and modernly constructed part of thu
town was threatened.
May Invade Business Section.
It was said that warnings had been sent
out to many of the hotels and business
houses throughout the center of the city
to be prepared fur the worst and to take
preventive measures.
This warning would not necessarly mean
that there would be any loss of life, but
that the first floors of the various build
ings might be flooded and entail a large
financial loss.
The modern portion of the city Is con
sidered to be high enough to escape the
flood, but In view of the fact that the rise
of the waters has been unprecedented, it
has been considered the better part of
discretion to at least warn all threatened
territory.
It is thought that the damage will be far
In excess of first estimates as sent out In
last night's report Monterey smelter, one
of '.he largest In Mexico, suffered a loss
by water, from the deluge of rain and not
as a result of a rise In the river, that is
variously estimated at from 11,000,000 tu
$2,000,000.
The Monterey Steel plant, the only plant
of Its kind in the republic, and which cost
originally $10,000,000 to construct la reported
to have been damaged to the extent of
from $2,000,000 to $3,000,000. The electris
light and railway system of Monterey, a
modern system In every respect which was
constructed about three years ago by a
Canadian company, In which the Mac
Kenxles of Toronto are heavily interested,
was damaged to the extent of approxi
mately $l,0uu,000. The Monterey water and
sewer syilem suffered a loss which is esti
mated at $1,000,000 or mora.
Financial Loss Heavy.
This damage, together with the loss re
sulting from the complete annihilation of
approximately 6,000 Jacalas, or huts, adobs
houses and some structures of more pre
tentious appearance, together with their
contents, all ruined by the Inflow of water,
will bring the financial loss up to approx
imately $7,000,000. Estimates run as high
as $12,000,000. Both the electric light and
street railway systems and tha water works
and drainage systems, were dominated by
Canadian capitalists. A hard, stiff fight
was made by Caiadlan companies to se
cure concessions for the Installation of
these modern Improvements a few years
ago and their loss will be keenly felt and
may possibly mean financial ruin to many
Individuals.
