Both Roger Q. jams, the pilot, d Peitro Bonelli, the navigator, escaped without any injury. One wheel of the plane and at least one wing strut were broken and the 9 ne general strain. _ ipped up on one wing poin' but did not turn over. ie The plane plunged and rolled on the soft turf and the left wheel snapped off. The Columbia ground looped on the broken wheel and tipped crazily but came to a stop without over- turning. Williams and Bonelli climbed out of the cockpit unharmed but sadly disappointed. A cursory inspection of the plane left little hope of an- other take-off today. The Columbia took off at 11:55 a. m., with great difficulty because of the excessive weight of its fuel load. It did get in the air, however, but was unable to gain altitude. It struggled low over the gully between Roosevelt and Curtis fields where Rene Fonck’s plane crashed and burned two years ago. and then began to settle steadily to earth.

He speaks tonight at Janesville. He left St. Paul early today.

He reiterated that the language of the governo: acceptance “endorsed wood Tarriff bill of 1913.

At 25 minutes past noon, the gi: airplane which is carrying 20 sengers, including three Americans, was over Bron Aviation field near Lyons, having covered a distance of approximately 265 miles from Friedrichshafen at an average speed of 55 miles an hour. Weather conditions in southern France were unfavorable with rain and contrary winds reported all along the line from Lyons to Bor- deaux. Out at sea, however, in the direc- tion of the Azores better conditions prevail and it was believed that Dr. Hugo Eckener, the dirigible’s com- mander, would head southward from Marseilles along the coast of Africa and would then point the nose of his ship for the Azores. On the basis of the speed which the dirigible was maintaining it was expected that she would reach Marseilles about 5 p. m., (about 12 noon eastern stand- ard time). All France was eagerly watching the progress of this new transat- lantic air voyage and the newspa- pers gave reports of the start at Friedrichshafen prominent first page space. In every town along the possible route, the population had been waiting for days and no- where did there appear any signs of animosity over the new “raid.’ Friedrichshafen, Germany, Oct. 11.—()—A Graf Zeppelin, Ger- many’s huge new dirigible, flew westward today at an average speed of 55 miles an hour with passen- gers and mail for America. Sixty persons were aboard'— a crew of 40 and 20 passengers. among them Lady Grace Drummond Hay of England. Dr. Hugo Ecke builder and {commander of the airship, hoped to bring the airship down at Lakehurst, N. J., some 5,100 miles away, Sun- day morning. The airship taking off from Friedrichshafen at 8 a. m. headed toward the Atlantic where heavy storms were reported to be preva- lent and because of this it was like- ly to follow a route by way of the Azores. Two hours after her de-- parture, she was passing over northern France. Despite feverish excitement which had prevailed around the hangars in the last few days, the dirigile got away with clocklike precision and with less fuss at the start than it takes to get a transatlantic liner away from her pier. Ship Is Cleared Shortly before 7 a. m. the doors of the huge hangar swung open and preparations were begun to clear the ship. All the members of: the crew took their posts and then the assengers were taken on board. At a shouted order, the airship’s hawsers were attached by pulleys to romaine blocks: <a either Fie ee uge craft was dragged slowly steadily off the hangar. Within two minutes after it was free of the hangar the hawsers were detached and 200 stalwart workmen who had been hanging to the lower inwales let go. The Graf Zeppelin immediately ascended almost per- pendicularly to an elevation of about 150 feet. The nose it ward and the airship rose higher as it circled low over Friedrichshafen. Finally it headed westward over Lake Constance and in three min- utes the craft had disappeared from view on what was hoped to be the third east and west flight acros the Atlantic in a lighter ir craft. This ship named from the late Count Von Zeppelin, German airship builder and inventor, Graf being the German word for Count.
