WEATHER FORECASTS For Bismarck and vicinity: Fair tonight and Thursday. ESTABLISHED 1873 THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE [man] BISMARCK, NORTH DAKOTA, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 1924 PRICE FIVE CENTS GIANT ZEPPELIN LANDS IN NEW YORK BOARD DECIDES NOT TO CHANGE ITS POSITION Junior High Arrangement at Will School Will Go Into Effect, Decision PROTESTS ARE MADE Group of Patrons of Various Schools Appear at Board Meeting in Opposition The city board of education, in meeting last night at the high school, heard protests from patrons of the Richholt, Roosevelt end Wachter schools over the junior high plan announced recently, Af- ter the public protests were heard, the board retired to consider the protests and a petition bearing over 500 names, and it was anaounced that the recent order would stand, Under the plan, the jnnior high school is concentrated at the Will school, seventh and eighth being discontinued at the Moore and Richholt schools pupils of the seventh and cighth grades in territory tributary to the Wachter and Roosevelt schools will go to the junior high. The change, it is planned, will be effective next week, A large number of patrons were at the meeting, which was adjourned from a small room to the asembly Toom of the high school. Mrs. William Ode presented _ petitions, which she said bore over 500 names, against the proposed arrangement. A number of patrons spoke. Opposed to Change Mrs. Frank Paris declared that in her opinion it was too late in the year to be making the proposed change. Louis Benzer said “I am not in favor of it. We have trained athle- tic work at the Richholt school. 1 am opposed to taking these pupils from there and putting them in the Will school where there is no gym- nasium and no playground. They won’t facé the wind either way to go to 2 gym at the Richholt or the Roosevelt schools. We built these ward schools to have the little chil- dren close to school. Under the change, you will have to take little children from the Will school to other schools. I believe the change is_an injustice.” Mrs. Ode, presenting her petitions, said they were signed by taxpayers of the east and west parts of the city. She said many had built homes around the schools, that the schools were built to accomodate the children, and now children liv- ing close to the Will school would be sent far away from it to school. She declared that people are not al- ways able to take their children to school. She said that if her chil- dren’ went to the Will school and came home for dinner they would have to walk 60 blocks a day. Now, ‘she said, they are three and one- j halt blocks from school. “I understand the west end didn’t want to take away anything from the people of the east end,” she said. “They just wanted the seventh and eighth grades in their own schools.” Carl Bredy said “I have quite a few children. They like the chil- dren and teachers out at the Rich- holt school, and don’t like to change. All in the east end stand up for the Richholt school. I think it would be just as well to spend a few more cents and leave the children in the east end, and give the west end what it wants.” West Side’s Position Obert A. Olson, speaking as a representative of patrons of the Roosevelt school, said: “We don’t want to take anything from the fel- lows in the eastern part of the city, but we would like some way to get teachers for the west end. The dis- tance is too great for little children, to be sending them out of their neighborhoods.” Mrs. Ode syggested the board might make a central junior high at the Will school or the William Moore, unless the southside object- ed that the William Moore school was too far away, and leave the Richholt school as it is. Anton Aune said that under the arrangement children would have to go past one grade school and the high school, to get to school. He said he was told this was to be done to save money for taxpayers, but declared it would. cost him much more to have his children go to the Will school, because he would have to hire a girl at home. ‘Al Brooks remarked, among other things, that the first grade at the Richholt school was now over- crowded. Mrs, John Arnold declared that “I think the south side needs the seventh and eighth grades as bad any schools on account of the railroad tracks. View of President President Lenhart, presiding, said the board would consider the mat- ter in session after the meeting. “We are trying to do the best we can for the most people.” he said. “Some will have to go farther than others, no matter what we do.” Mrs, Ode remarked that there (Continued on page 6) ¥ __VIEWS OF ZEPPELIN MAKING HISTORIC FLIGHT. i Upper Left—ZR-3 in hangar in Germany, Upper right — ‘ ‘the eye of the Lower—sleeping compartments on airship are like # idea of her immense size.

Subsequent attempts surpass the cruise of the R-34 ended in tragedy. The R-36, sold by Great Britain to the United States, was consumed by flames and explosion, followed by a disastrous toll_of life, on a trial flight, under Briti American command over Hull, land. A like fate attended the maiden flight of the Roma, acquired by the United States from Italy, set up over her and turned loose upon the air at Aberdeen, Maryland. Explo- sion destroyed the craft and a heavy loss of life marked the second attempt of this country to break into big league aeronautics. In the third major dirigible dis- aster since the R-34, France and Frenchmen, were victims. Their proud Dixmude set out one day last year to penetrate into Africa and perished at sea. It is believed lightning ignited her hydrogen. The use of non-explosive helium as a substitute for the treacherous hydrogen promises to make dirig. ible transit of the future safer than airplane travel is today. Officers on this field who have seen the Shenandoah perform under helium witnessed her’ survival of a terrific storm and those who now watch her leisurely progess on the western rim of the United States, declare that all the terrors have been re- moved from lighter than air aero- nautics. They point to the. recent exper- ience of the TC-2 at Langley Field. A bomb exploded as she was high in the air. Had her glistening skin held hydrogen a bundle of charred wreckage and a few mangled bodies undoubtedly would have been the re- sult. ATWOOD TO SPEAK IN N.

DAIRYING T0 GO ON Fine Crops Won’t Deter Pro- gress, Stanley Man Says Fine grain crops m North Dakota this year will not deter the develop- ment of dairying, in the opinion of W. F. Reynolds, state dairy commis- sioner. His opinion is backed by many letters and personal contact with farmers. D. H. Gray of Stan- ley, who manages a cooperative ship- ping association there, in making a report to Mr. Reynolds wrote as fol- lows: “Enclosed you will find my report for September, 1924. Everything is going good. I don’t believe the good crop Will have any effect on dairying at all, as they all seem to realize that the cows are much the surest way of farming. We will have a larger year than 1923 unless we fall entire- ly from now until the first of the year, as we are just about where we were for the entire year of 1923, right now.” Mr. Reynolds has returned from CHARGE JAPS STIR TROUBLE AGAINST U. 8 American Residents in Muk- den Claim Propaganda Stories Are Spread CAUSES SOME ALARM Many Americans Are Treated as Spies by Manchurians, Is Report Mukden, Manchuria, the A.

CONCRETE ROAD, IS FINISHED Entire Bismarck - Mandan Stretch to be Available Nov. 5 noon os, A six-mile concrete rodd, the long- est yet constructed in North Dakota, will be completely opened betw Bismarck and Mandan on Novemb: 5, according to E, R. Griffin, county surveyor of Morton county. The stretch of pavement includes the Missouri River vehicular bridge com- pleted in 1921. Including all city paving on the same stretch of road- way in Bismarck and Mandan the paving will extend almost seven miles.

NEW RECORD IS MADE IN 5,006 MILES FLIGHT Giant Airship Pokes Nose Into Great Hangar at Lake- hurst, Landing Nicely SOME BAD WEATHER First Part of Cruise Fine, But Ship Has Tough Time Part of Way Airdome, Lakehurst, N. J., Oct. 15.— (By the A. P.) — The giant Zeppelin ZR-8 at the naval air station air- dome, Lakehurst, at 10:45 a. m. today. Immediately that she was snubbed fast, her navigating officers and crew disembark- ed. Officers climbed into her hull and cabins with mechan- ics to begin an inspection of the gas bag’s duraluminum structure and motors. -Dr. Hugh Eckener, com- mander of this ship, and president of the Zeppelin Company, jubilantly declared as his feet touched the con- crete floor of the airdome: “Gentlemen, a new world’s record—5,006 miles of con- tinuous flight.” FIRST PART FINE “The first part of our voyage was fine,” Dr. Eckener continued. “The last part was full of heavy weather. m. Tuesday to 5 a. m. today we battled against the wea- ;ther with a velocity of 55 to 60 miles an hour. “We changed our course from the direct line we were pursuing from the Azores to Lakehurst because we found ourselves heading into a southwest wind-whieh was rising and a small low pressure area. “Monday evening we were making 45 miles an hour. We headed to- ward Nova scotia in a southwest wind, then cume along at great along the coast southward, passing between the scout cruisers Milwaukee and Detroit but seeing neither. “A favoring wind pushed us to- ward Lakehurst, past Boston and on to New York at a rate of 90 miles an hour. So, gentlemen, we are here.” Beautiful Landing She made a beautiful landing, ap- pearing over the northern edge of this naval air station at 9:16 a. m. She drove straight over the airdome to the far edge of the field, where she headed around and skirted the station for a quarter of its circum- ference, before nosing downward into the breeze and coming to a stop before the airdome. Thirty-four minutes after she was sighted her motor stopped. For a moment she drifted easily, bobbing up gind down like a small boat in a rolling swell. Straight past the red and white signals on the ground which indicat- ed her chosen landing place she glided. It appearing that she in- tended to sail into the airdome_but the pilot of the ZR-3 contemplated no such spectacular exhibition. When within 200 yards of the tower- ing dome a trap door flopped open from the bottom of the main cabin and out dropped a bundle of rope as large as a barrel. Another trap door opened and another coil thudd- ed below. Signal horns and bells tooted somewhere out of sight as the giant passed overhead. Whist- les shrilled below. Sailors and mar- ines hooked their spider-webbedl rope harnesses into the trailing tow laid Tuesday, Mr. Griffin said. It will be opened to travel November 5. Another stretcy of this newly laid paving west of the Missouri River bridge will be opened Sunday, which will take the paving beyond the woods between the river and Man: dan. The 2.4 miles of paving, dons by the Northern Construction Company of Grand Forks, was let at the low- est price of any paving contract in the Northwest this year, according to W. G. Black, state highway en- gineer. The contract was $2.94 per square yard, including scarifying, placing the sub-grade in condition and other work, ELEVATORS IN TOWERS The 16 wireless masts to support the aerial of the powerful station at Rugby, England, are so high that each is equipped with an elevator to take workmen to the top when re- pairs are needed, When this station is completed, commercial radio serv- ice will be established between Eng- land and America. STANDARD FREQUENCIES The U. S. Bureau of Standards has extended the range of its standard frequency transmissions, to be check- ed up by experimenters, broadcasters and others. The frequencies herea! ter will extend from 125 to 6000 Kilocycles, or from 2600 to 50 meters, line of the dirigible and almost with- out effort drew her gently down. Mighty Shout A mighty shout went up from thousands as the air vessel came down. “Please don’t make so much noise,” shouted Commander J. H. Klein Jr., commander of the Lake- hurst station and a passenger on the ZR-3 as he leaned from a for- ward cabin-port. The din of wel- come was silenced and the clear, sharp order of the navigators to the ground crew rang out sharply. ORGANIZE AMERICAN CREW Washington, Oct. 15.—Organization of an American crew to take charge of the ZR-3 was begun today in the Bureau of Naval Aeronautics, but beyond that no plans have been made for immediate operation of the ship. Under the German contracts, 11 members of the crew which brought her over will “stand by” at least three months to assist in the train- ing. When an efficient operating force has been organized the department will take up a program of tests of long cross-country flights on propos- ed commercial freight and passenger trips. It is possible that commercial firms may be asked to bid on operst- ing the Zeppelin during this period.
