aot AIRSHIP R-100 SAFE AT MONTREAL AFTER UNEVENTFUL FLIGHT World’s Largest Dirigible Hovers Over City All Night to Make y : Landing This Morning FIN FABRIC IS RIPPED OFF Damage Is Slight and Repairs Are Made While Ship Con- tinues Its Flight St. Hubert Airport, Montreal, Aug. 1—(#)—The biggest airship the world thas ever known, the British dirigible * R-100, completed its first transatlan- tic crossing today, delayed and some- what damaged by storm, but com- )- Pletely. triumphant after its first great trial. ‘Three days and more ago, at 9:45 ES.T. on Monday night, the R-100 lifted from the ground at Cardington, Eng., and pointed its blunt nose across the sea. At 4:36 a. m. this morning, almost 79 hours after is de- parture, it was secured to the moor- ing mast erected here especially for its use. It would have made a far faster ‘trip but stormy weather encountered after it had crossed the ocean and ‘was on the last leg of its flight here, ripped the fabric covering of one fin. ‘The hurt was slight and was repaired yin air, but time lost while the ship ‘was hove to over Quebec prevented a landing before dark last night and so no attempt was made to moor until morning. Damage Is Trivial Officers interviewed immediately after mooring said that the damage was trivial and would not necessitate any change in the ship's schedule, which calls for several flights about Canada during the next ten days be- fore it starts back across the sea for home. In length the R-100 is between the American Los Angeles and the Ger- ‘man Graf Zeppelin but in girth and cubic capacity it is far larger than either, Yet it was handled in the air scuring the mooring operation with ‘as much apparent ease as a tiny blimp. And when its nose was fast at the top of the mast and ropes from sides and rear were secured to the ground it floatec as gently in the morning sun as a canoe on peaceful water. “We never had a bump all the way across the Atlantic ocean and every- thing went perfectly until we got to Father Point,” said Sir Dennistoun Burney, director of aircraft develop- ment and designer of the dirigible, as the ship was moored. Fabric Is Ripped », “There we ran into a bad bump and / the jar tore the fabric on a stabil- izing fin. But the damage was tem- porarily repaired and was neligible. Sir Dennistoun, Major G. H. Scott, assistant director of airship develop- ment, Squadron Leader R. S. Booth, captain of the R-100 and Squadron Leader Johnston, navigating officer, talked of the flight as soon as the ship was made fast. There were still five tons of fuel left abord the R-100 when she nooked onto thé mast here. The most valuable thing learned on the trip, the officers believed, was that the airship was the most com- fortable means of transportation. », The course over the North Atlantic they regarded as the most feasible for commercial use if larger ships yare used, f “It was @ very good ‘test of the —golden-flaked!} It is the €asy to digest.

We need Jong flights to gain the experience in handling lighter-than-air craft. There was not a movement across the Atlantic, and the ship behaved Perfectly. We dodged to get tito fa- vorable winds once or twice, but the air was calm. “The «most impressive thing about the trip is this: On Monday night I entertained a party at dinner. We left Cardington at 9:46 p. m. and if we had been lucky at the latter end of the trip we would have been in time for dinner last night.” ‘ Major Scott, captain of the first British airship to fly, inventor of the air ministry's method of airship mooring, and one of the greatest of lighter than air experts, has devel- oped a new plan for collecting water for ballast while flying. He men- tioned it casually while chatting after the landing. “Oh, when we need more water we just collect it on the fly. We did it all the way across. “We built a sort of little gutter ar- rangement along the top of the en- velope and collected rain water. The enormous bulk of the ship makes it quite easy. Then we piped the water. down, strained it and put it into the ts pes. “We managed to get three tons that way.

The ZR-3, built in any tor the United States navy and later renamed the Los Angeles, crossed in October, 1924, from. Friedrichshafen to Lake- hurst, N. J, in 81 hours. The Graf Zeppelin took 111 hours and 46 minutes for its first crossing from Friedrichshafen to Lakehurst, in October, 1928, but made its second crossing in 93 hours flat, in 1929. ‘The R-34, British dirigible, crossed from Scotland to New York in 1919 |in 108 hours and 13 minutes. Eastward ocear flights have been made by the dirigibles in much fast- rer time. The Graf Zeppelin has the | best record—55 hours and 24 minutes | from Lakehurst to Friedrichshafen in | August, 1929.

De Spain, with the recommendation the case be dropped. H De Spain, refusing to search the film actress’ apartment after he had | examined her in a hospital yesterday where she was being treated for ex- cessive sunburn, wrote across the} warrants, “Film Actress is not a nar- cotic addict.” Miss Nolan, the narcotic inspector | said, described the affidavits as part | of plot to blackmail her under called repeatedly by telephone arid threatened she would be be branded an addict unless she paid $600. The affidavit charging Miss Dolan was a narcotic user was signed by two! former nurses of the actress, Miss Carolyn Clark and Miss Claire An- Gerson, who said Miss Nolan required narcotic stimulant every two hours and her arms were covered with hy- podermic needle marks. De Spain, after examining Miss Nolan, said he was unable to find any trace of a hypodermic needle and added he would ‘suggest the case be dropped. Miss Nolan, De Spain said, oftered to submit herself to a rigid examina- tion by a woman operative who ac- companied the officer but De Spain told her it was unnecessary. During her follies day, Miss Nolan became involved in a romance with Frank Tinney, comedian. Later she| came to Hollywood, resumed her real name and made a success in the films.

BELIEVE REVENGE CAUSED SLAYINGS Wisconsin Resort Keeper and Bartender Killed During ‘Fake’ Argument Kenosha, Wis., Aug. 1—(2)—Two men today killed Louis Derler, 45, in his roadhouse, and then slew a bar- tender fleeing fro mthe scene, as the climax of an argument believed “fak- ed” to cover a motive of revenge. Two shots Were fired into Derler's body, and two into the body of the bartender, known as “E.G. D.” Both died instantly. A patron who tried to stop the fight was slugged and four companions were threatened. ' The men, accompanied by two wom- en, had come in after midnight and had been drinking. Shortly before 3 a. m., one of them became igvolved in an altercation with Derler. Charles Bugador, 36, who tricd to intervene. wass lugged. The four women with Bugador ran into a back room and the slayers’ companions left by the front door. The bartender, Edward G. Dennesty, Racine, tried to help Derler, but His superior was killed as he rushed in. The women peered out and were told to “get back, or we'll shoot you too.” The bartender ran for a lavatory. While he was fumbling with the door | knob he was shot twice. The clue on which authorities! worked was the story of Derler's wife that her husband had ejected a wom- an wandering around his house when he came home Tuesday evening. As she left, she shouted back: “All| right; I'll get you.” A | Her name was not known, nor; big those of the slayers or the other irl.
