LEECH Bfim BT ZEPPELINS. Hiw Tksy Wtn.Cst Witl Stisa Siccess tni tit tez:$ Est. London, Sept 24. Of the 12 big Zeppelins which invaded the British Isles last night to deal death and destruction from the skies, two today lay stark and black masses, of steel and alum inum in the little village of Man gold, EsseV:County. They fell victims of the antiaircraft de fenses of Loudon and outlying districts. One. came down a flaming torch, as did ihe Zeppelin L 21, destroyed' three weeks ago, while the second, disabled by gun fire, effected a landing which saved the lives of the crew who ttonight are : prisoners in Eng land. The crew of the first raid er died in the consuming flames of their own -ship, but they were mot so terribly charred as their predecessors. This latest raider to light her own funeral way on English soil collapsed and was consumed much more quickly than tne tu 21. It is possible, though, that some of. the men were still living when the great vessel struck the. ground. The cap tain's body was found some dis tance from the wreck. The death and burning of the first Zeppelin was witnessed by tens of thousands of London's residents but the wounding and descent of the second raider was a matter of doubt until today's official statements were given dut; Pew details are available j of this second raider's condition, but it is reported tint the crew surrendered to special consta bles. Many who saw the shrapnel bursting like skyrockets about the invader, which subseq'ientlv caught fije, think there must have been several direct; . hits' Many aeroplanes were nlolt and attacked the Zeppelins iro.n all sides. Tne raiders took a heavy toll of lives before their destruction, 28 persons being killed and U9 wounded in the Metropolitan district of London. Two per sons were killed, and probably four and 17 were wounded in the provinces The property damage, While widely distributed, is confined for the most part to small subur ban - dwellings and shops, al though one railway station was damaged, some empty carts be ing destroyed and part of the tracks torn up. The roar of dropping bombs was heard in many districts where the raiders were invisible. It is not believed that more than twoor three invading Zep pelins which crossed the east coast succeeded in reaching: the environs of London and that two of these paid the death penally gives the greatest satis Taction to the military authorities. A part frotn the loss of material the casualties of the last two raids, it is believed will have a depressing effect on the moral of the Zeppelin crews in the future. Londoners were jubilant today but there was not the same ex ultant enthusiasm as three weeks ago, indicating that the destruc tion of giant sky-raiders is al ready taken as an ordinary inci dent in this unusual world war. The fact that the airships were brought down well outside of London, both last night and September 3, shows the care with which the defenses have been developed. The efficiency in dealing with the raiders was further evidenced by the speed with which the searchlights piCKea up me nrst raider that turned partlyaway and sudden appeared above the suburbs j y dissolved apparently into thin about midnight.

More Orthodox Will Observe Thursday and Friday in Celebration; Rosh Hashanah (the - Jewish New Year) also called Yom Hazikoron "Day of Memorial," falls this year on Thursday, September 28th. Itcommences, however, the evening previous since in Bible usage the days are coon ted from sun-down to sun down. The in re orthodox will observe not only Thursday but Friday as well, it being their custom to keep a second day in connection with practically all the more important Jewish holi days and festivals This custom on their part grew out of certain complex conditions in the calen dation of early rabbinical times and the practice, once estab- lished, has been kept up by them, even though the original reason n longer obtains, rue Reformed Jews observe only tne day scripturally prescribed The date of Resh Hashanah is the first day of the month of Tishri and the New Year now to be ulhgred in is, according to the traditional Jewish Calendar, the year 5877. Unlike January 1st. Rosh Hashanah has been fully able to resist secularization It is in form and spirit a holy day dis tinctively, not a holiday. Solemn services characterize its observ ance both evening and morning. It is a time dedicated! to retro spection, introspection and reso luti i .s for the future. The day bears the special designation of Yom ha-Dinora Day of Judg ment. With puaiut mysticism the old tradition represents the souls of men as being on this day before the Divine Tribunal at the auuual assizes on . high. The great Recording Books lie open aud-4he VhUivkUjiUeUuis are set down, but (and this is the significant element in the con ception) the award in each given case must be sealed by the per son himself, meaning thereby, that, though the varying issues of the New Year proceed rrom God's providence, no one's future is determined apart from what he himself is and does. Out of the above conception has grown up the familiar greeting inter changed by Jews on Rosh Hash anah, namely, "leshonali tovah tikasevu," meaning "May you be inscribed for a good year!" An important feature of the ritual f Rosh Hashanah is the blowing of the Shofar or Ram's horn. In ancient days the sounding of this instrument was associated with times of national crisis and other solemn occa sions. There are various fanci ful explanations of the counec tion of the Shofar with the cele bration of Rosh Hashana. Each of its dominant notes likewise nas been given a symbolic sig nificance. As the tones of the Shofar are of a peculiarly pierc ing quality the sounding of the Shofar may be regarded as a clarion -call "to the conscience to . - strive after the higher life in New Year The prominence ac corded to the ceremony of the sounding of the Shofar during the services has made Rosh Hashanah known as the Yom ha- Teruah, "the day of the Sound iug of the Shofar."

PICKETING ON NEW YORK CAR LINES, How Labor, Refusing ti Work. Attempts to Prevent Outers mm So. New York, Sept. 24. While several unions, representing vari ous trades, met today and discuss ed plans for the threatened "sus pension of work'' Wednesday in aid of the carmen who quit their places September 6 active picket ing of the transit lines which have been declared "unfair" by organized labor was begun by thous nds of men and women Sentinels were posted through out the city to Watch for union men riding on the cars. All cases of the kind will ba reported to the unions to which the men belong and fines will be assessed it was said. Eight hundred coopers, affiliat ed with the longshoremen's union, it was announced voted in favor of a general strike. They will take no further action, however, until a definite decision is reached by the longshoremen, it wusaid. Except for sporadic attacks against elevated railway trams by men lurking on housetops, there was little outward change in the situation. Service on the subway and elevated lines con tinued normal, while surface car travel showed improvement. What few attacks there were up on cars today were or a minor character, according to the police. No one was injured. Jitneys and various other vehicles pressed in to service during" the strike an parently did a thriving business especially on the East Side of the city where many union sympath izers refused to patronize the transit companies.

No Business Concerns Left in Hiddenite. Statesville, Sept 23. As a result of the disastrous lire at the little village of Hiddenite Friday afternoon and night the entire business section of the town is completely wiped out, with the exception of one or two small store buildings which were locat ed in an isolated part of the town. A visit to this town by your correspondent since the fire oc curred discloses the fact that there is practically no business enterprises left. Formerly a thriving and pros perous little town of around six hundred inhabitants, located in Alexander county, near the foot of the famous Brushy Mountains, and with a business section which comprised a large roller mill, planing mill eight or ten stores, in addition to a drug and hard ware store, and other various es tablish men tStHbe place now pres ents a spectacle -of ruin and de solation.

The treatment being accorded the Hon Sidney J Catts by his disguntled opponent, W .V Knott, and bis Roman Catholic backers and henchmen, after Catts honestly and fairly secured the Democratic nomination for . governor at the June primaries, is enough to dis gust every citizen who believes in law and order. Knott is contesting the nomina tion of Catts and in the course of the contest it develops that Knolt is gaining voles. The latest re port is to the effect thai he has gained 401 votes, leading Catts by 134 votes, while prior to the recount Catts hd a plurality of 267 votes. According to Florida papers with the cour ge to print the truth, ballot boxes have been opened, ballots changed in Knott's favor and in some instances Catt's entire vote stolen and destroyed. The matter is now before the supreme court of tffe State. Knott has applied to the ccurt to be ! placed on the ballot as the legal nominee, while Mr Catts is con testing the legality of the recount of ballots. Instances of glaring fraud come to light in many precincts where a recount has been made and the fraud always happens to be in favor of the candidate Rome would prefer to see recognized. If this fraudulent recount is al lowed to stand and if Mr Knott is placed on the ballot at the general election as the legal nominee, every patriot of the State, regardless of former affilia tions, should go to the polls at the general election ia November and scratch out the name of W. V. Knott and iusert instead the name of Sidney J. Catts This is the only sure and effec tive way of rebuking-the treason able hand of Rome in Florida politics, and the onlv way to re deem the State in the eyes of the outside world. It will be remembered that early in the game, before the primaries the Romanized democratic State committee of Florida attempted to disfranchise every voter worthy of the name by ruling that no man should vote who belonged to any secret society that had any thing to do with politics. The same crowd that tried to disfranchise the Catts following then are trying to steal the elec tion from him now. The people repudiated the Ro mish gang's first treason Now let them repudiate their attempt to steal the nomination from a man who won it fair and square! The surprise of the campaign wzs the defeat of Congressman Daniel J. McGillicuddy inthesec ond'district, says the New York Times in speaking of the Maine election It would indeed, bo difficult to overestimate the significance of the Maine election, and especially the defeat of Congressman Mc Gillicuddy, the zealous subject of the pope, whose political record has been so pleasing to the up holders of the papal system who are waging war against our fun damental democracy. This congressman, though less offensively anti-American than Messrs. Gallivan and Fitzgerald has proved himself a most faith ful representative of the papal sovereign in his votes and influ ence in Congress, We call to mind no instance where he has failed to support the measures desired by the Roman hierarchy.
