San Antonio, Oct. 17. The army dirigible C-2, which recently completed a trans-continental flight and had reached San Antonio on its way back to Washington was burned early this morning while being taken from its hangar ar at Brooks Field, preparatory to a flight over the city. Several of the crew were hurt, one seriously. Just how the accident occurred has not been learned at an early hour.

The big ship was being taken out of the hangar. The wind caught it and threw it up against one of the big doors at the entrance. Passengers heard the hissing of the gas and a few moments later the gas, for some unknown reason, became ignited, going up in a flash. The bag burned and the car dropped to the ground throwing the passengers to the concrete floor. Police ambulances and emergency cars rushed to the scene a few moments after the report BOTH MEN WERE GIVEN OVATIONS UPON ENTERING CONVENTION HALL Resolutions Committee Is Prepared to Table Beer and Wine Resolution and Any Reference to the Ku Klux Klan.

"I have been promised Sid from the state in running down this 1 n' crime, and I will say no ef-f fort will be spared to get at the bottom of the matter.

Such a cow- ardly attack is a direct challenge to law and order and good Ameri- canism. I feel certain that, the good citizens of this county and state will most heartily disapprove of such conduct. "Whether the Ku KluxKlan had any direct connection with this as- sault or not, is not for me to say at this time. I do know that Mr. Schierlman was brutally w.hipped by men, who, are said to have told him that he' had talked too much about the klan.

It is probable that the klan will1 deny any connection with the affair," but no anonymous denial from any organization can remove this ttain from our corcty or the scars from the back of this y- citizen.
