i XN a \ oy MISTRIAL DECLARED ASDBFENDANT CAN'T BE FOUND IN PRISON Six Men Charged With Exciting North Carolina Rebellion Must ‘Cool Heels’ - \ Marion, N. C., Sept. 20.—(7—The trial of Alfred Hoffman, south repre- sentative of the United Textile: Workers, and five associates, charged | with inciting a rebellion and insur- rection against the state, was de-| declared a mistrial this morning after it was discovered that J. Hugh Hall, ! one of the defendants, had sawed his | ‘way out of the jail and had escaped. On learning of the jail delivery, Judge John H. Harwood announced | the trial could not continue because | Hall and the other defendants were | under joint indictment. He said he would notify Governor O. Max Gard- ner and ask for a special term in! which to try the men. { The trial was begun yesterday. The | jury had been selected and the second | witness was on the stand at adjourn- | ment time last night. Hall escaped with three other men. Ernest Browning, charged with fight- ing, Frank Wells, charged with mak- ing liquor, and Turner Harris. charged with temporary larceny of | an automobile. | Hall was a resident of Marion and | not employed in textile work. He, with Hoffman. Lawrence Hogan, | union leader; Wes Fowler, Will Rus- | sell and Del Lewis, strikers, were on; trial as a result of disorders on Au- gust 19 in connection with a textile strike. Sheriff Adkins and a group! of his deputies were attacked when ; they attempted to halt a group} of organizers and strikers from mov- ing a worker's furniture out of a house.

FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, 1929 Hugh Allen THE FIRST AUTHORIZED STORY OF THE LIFE OF THE COMMANDER OF THE ZEPPELINS CHAPTER I Born at Flensburg, Schleswig- Holstein, in 1868, Dr. Hugo Eck- ener, commander of Zeppelins, ‘was educated as a philosopher and | scientist. As a boy he was a sail- ing enthusiast. He studied the winds and became a youthful authority on the weather in his native village. Graduated from Leipzig university with a degree of doctor of philosophy, he estab- lished his home at Friedrichs- hafen, on Lake Constance. There he studied philosophy and polit- | ical economy. Bismarck had just fallen, and William II was on the throne. Young Eckener was contributing articles to the Frank- furter Zeitung, and intended to write a book dealing with the economics of his time. But there was another resident on Lake Constance—Count Ferdinand Zep- pelin—and Eckener's book was destined never to be finished. CHAPTER II { ‘We now approach the year 1906, with Dr. Hugo Eckener living quietly ; with his family at Friedrichshafen on Lake Constance, contributing articles on economics and other subjects to the Frankfurter Zeitung and other periodicals, sailing small boats upon the lake, and following the life of a student and scholar, while still plan- ning to complete a book dealing with economic affairs of the day. Meanwhile, also on the shores of Lake Constance, Count Ferdinand Zeppelin was embarked upon a proj- of invention and research, Count Zeppelin had flown in free and | captive balloons. first at Fort Snelling, | Minn., then in Virginia during Grant's | campaigns. He was never to forget the experience. For years afterward he had spent a!l the sleisure hours that come to an army officer in working up plans and blueprints. He wanted to build a balloon that would carry motors and a rudder. Something that would enable man to achieve his long j ambition to ascend into the third di- mension. .

His supreme contribution in the | case of the airship was an indomitabl: faith and courage. Ccunt Zeppelin had designed his first airship on paper in 1873, em- | bodying many of the principles u: ed | today. In 1887 he submitted a com- | plete memorandum on the subject to | the king of Wurtemburg. In 1894 he had employed an engineer to work oui full structural designs, had submitted these to a committee of experts. The committee deliberated, studicd. ar- hile hi e, the seemed thing wouldn't work. He had retired from the army at 56, a full general, had dedicated the rest of his life to this dirigible project. * * % Six years later, in 1900. Zeppelin built and lost his first ship. It was 420 feet long, having 383.000 fect of accur ject requiring probably the greatest hydrogen gas—about a tenth of the } and most persistent exercise of cour- size of the Graf Zeppelin.
