BU" A week from today the German-built airshin, the ZR-i expected to start on her cruise Friedrichshafen for the United Sta Today three United States nav ships took station in the North At- lantic to guard her course and keep in touch with hior on the long tran Atlantic cruise by radio, maintain ing a sharp watch for SOS signals With the co-operation of the ‘weather bureau the Navy Department has lald out the most extensive and complete plans ever completed for aiding an aircraft cruise. Radlo is the essential feature and it is plan- ned first to keep communication con- stantly open between this greatest rigid airship and either the ships or land stations during the 3,000-mile flight. The U. S. S. Patoka, mother ship of the Shenandoah, will take station about 300 miles south of Cape Kare- well, Greenland, where she will serve as station ship, the center of the sea communications. acting #t the same time as a metero'ogical point. A light cruiser, stationed about 600 miles farther south and 300 miles southeast of Cape Race, Newfound- land, will act as the primary obser- vation ship. She will be equipped with spectal aerological apparatus, make hourly weather observations, including tests of the upper air to 250 meters, and will co-ordinate weather reports from all ships within radio_range. transmitting them to the Weather Bureau at Washington. Four times a day a North Atlantic forecast for the ZR-3 will be made and sent out direct to the airship, or on request.. The Washington Weather Bureau will prepare general sum- maries on weather, which Annapolis, NSS, or Arlington, NAA, will trans- mit twice daily to the ZR-3. Another light cruiser assigned to a point 250 miles east of Halifax, N. S., will serve as a radio-relay ship to insure radio communication betwéen other ships aval stations NSD. Bar Harbor, .; NSS, Annapolis: NAA, Arlington, and NEL, Lakehurst, N. J., the home port of the ZR-3 and the air cruiser Shenandoah. X While the naval shore and ship sta- tions have practically unlimited range, the ZR-3 transmitting set is limited to 1,550 miles, or half of her total dis- tance to travel; this insures com- munication with land in Europe or the United States at all times, how- ever, regardless of the station ships which are prepared to relay messages. The German radio transmitter is described as of 400/200 watt capacity, and is especially designed for airship operation. Transmission is possible on a band from 450 to 3,000 meters. Her receiving set is capable of copy- ing all American stations as soon as she takes the air in Germany, and is said to be extremely selective. The Naval plans call for the estab- lishment of communications between the observation ship and the ZR-3 as A BAND CONCERTS.

Capt. Harold M. Bigelow, command- ing the small detachment of troops here, and at Marion, the county seat, has recommended to the adjutant general's office that the soldiers be kept here at least until after the grand jury convened September 22 to investigate the shootings. Need to Bury Hatchet. Mayor C. E. Anderson of Herrin, elected to office a year ago on an enti-Klan ticket, said yesterday: “One sure way to come back to normal is for every one to bury the hatchet. The situation has devel- cped Into feudalism and it is not likely that we can expect some of the instigators of all the trouble here to listen to peace talk until they settle their scores.” J Mayor Anderson said local politics also had much to do with the unrest. “If the Ku-Klux Klan can elect their own ticket for every office in the County they will be satisfied,” he said, “but the others who do not wish to see the Klan in politics or anywhere else would not be satis- fied. “If our city council would get together we could settle our trouble here.” “The situation referred to by Mayor Anderson is a split of the city coun- cil of eight aldermen, of which five are alleged to be pro-Klan in their sympathies and the other three anti- Klan. As a result there are two sets of police here and of these only one policeman, a traffic officer, has re- ceived any pay since last May. S.—Wil- mber is enjoying Daughter of Francis Joseph Dies.

The grocer, arrested on a charge of recelving stolen property, is Amen Hassen of 206 4% street southwest. The Sanitary Store at Del Ray was broken into Friday night and 11 100-pound bags of sugar, valued at 352, as well as other groceries, were taken. Saturday night two colored men held up Mr. Barr, who is a ralser of prize show chickens, bound him to his porch and proceeded to loot the chicken coop, where 18 fowls, valued at more than $50 apiece by the owner, were roosting. The heads of the chickens, where they had been cut from the necks, were later found. The detectives are continuing an investigation further into the activi- tles of the men. After the robbery at Del Ray, police stated, the sugar was sold to the grocer, according to the stories of the two prisoners. SR SEES DEMOCRAT VICTORY Senator Jones Says Need for Har- mony Is Party Asset. The election of a Democratic Senate and House “appears to bé certain,” and “common sense will dictate to the American people the advisability of the election of a Democratic Pres- ident, thereby bringing harmony be- tween the executive and legislative branches of our Government,” Sena- tor Jones of New Mexico, chairman of the Democratic senatorial committee, announced yesterday. ““We all know,” the Senator said, “that the Republican party is wedded to reaction, but for the sake of the election in some instances the cam- paign orator would have us believe that it.is the chief apostle of progres- sivelsm. Common sense as a campaign Issue is nothing, If not unique. It is hardly an appeal to intelligence to suggest to the American electorate that it should have to choose an ad- mintstration that would use common sense in governmental matters.” Panama Has New Vice President.

WANTS TO [SOLATE PNEUMONIA CASES Fowler, Alarmed at Growing Fatalities, Believes Dis- ease Is Communicable. lecause of the large deaths occurring ann ington from pneumonia, cer Fowler is con mendation that all cases of the dis- ease be reporied to the Health De- partment and that patients be isolat- ed during the period of the ilin That he ntemplating r a regulation was made known by Dr. Fowler in his annual report submit- ted to the Commissioners today. With 1,015 victims, pneumonia was the most potent cause of death in the District during the calendar vear, 1923, the report shows. All diseases generally regarded as contagious are reported to the health office by phy- sicians and rules are in effect pro- viding for the isolation of the suf- ferer from other members of the household. Pneumonia, however, has not heretofore been classed as a re- portable disease. The health officer said today he is satisfied that certain forms of pneu- monia are communicable. A total of 7,105 deaths occurred dur- ing 1923, an increase of 800 over the previous year. This raised the city’s death rate from 13.89 to 14.93. Dr. Fowler attributes the higher death rate to the number of fatal cases of pneu- monia and la grippe last winter. Births in 1923 totaled 9,029, but this was a slight decrease from 1922, and brought the birth rate down from 20.10 to 19 per 1,000 of population. For. the purpose of calculating these rates Dr. Fowler accepts the Census Bureau esti- mate of 475,966 as the present popula- tion of Washington. Of the total of 7,105 deaths, 4,449 were whites and 2,656 colored. The white death rate rose from 11.83 to 12.37 per 1,000 of population, and the colored rats went up from 20.13 to 22.82. Acclidental Deaths Le: “It is Interesting to note,” said Dr. Fowler, “that the number of accidental deaths was reduced from 361 in 1922 to 283 last year. It is believed that the work of the Safety Council of this District was a factor in kesping down the number of deaths from accidents.” The report shows there also was a marked increase in the death rate of infants under one year of age last year. “This increase,” Dr. Fowler says, “can be accounted for in part by the smaller number of births reported.” Dr. Fowler urges the Commissiongrs to consider earfestly the issuance of &n order muzzling dogs throughout the year, “or until such time as the situa- tion materially improves.” The health officer made this recom- mendation after stating that last year 39 dogs were found to be rabid and that 24 persons were known to have been bitten by rabid dogs. These figures show a marked increase over the preceding year. Por several years past the Commis- sioners have required the muszzling of dogs during the three Summer months only.

BRYAN PLAN SSPEAKING TOUR AMONG FARMERS By the Associated Pres: LINCOLN, Nebr, September 8.— Gov. Bryan will discuss State ques- tions and report the development of the National campaign in visits this week and next to Bloomfleld, Madison and Salem, in this State. Instead of stumping as the Demo- cratic vice presidential candidate, Mr. Bryan said today he would “campaign as governor of the State, visiting his own people and reporting to them,” on his three trips. According to present plans, the vice presidential ¢andidate will not pre- pare the speeches, he will deliver next Thursday at Bloomfleld, Friday at Madison and Monday of next week at Salem, Nebr. All three meetings will be held in farm communities. Dr. Fowler observed that of all the cases reported none had ever been su cussfully vaccinated Although 207 cases of smallpox were reported last year, they were all mild and no deaths resulted. “While the District' is credited with being a well vaccinated com- munity,” the report continues, “the health department is endeavoring to have as many of the citizens as pos- sible vaccinated, and, therefore, con- ducts a clinic for the purpose two or more times a week.” The health officer tells the Com- missioners there is need for the erection of a building by the health department for the treatment and isolation of contagious diseases. At present the contagious wards of Gar- fleld and Providence Hospitals are the only places available for such cases. - Dr. Fowler expresses hope that the House will pass the bill for the better supervision of the milk sup- ply of the city at the next session.

Taxpayers who paid one-quarter of their 1923 tax bill in March were per- mitted to reduce their June payment to one-half of their first payment if they desired to spread the balance of the tax over three periods, Mr. Tait said. Applies to Total Tax. The 25 per cent reduction allowed by Congress applies to the total tax bill, including surtaxes and ordinary income taxes, he said. As an example he cited the case of a taxpayer whose total bill was $3. If he paid a 25 per cent installment in March and desired to spread the balance over the other three-quarters of the year he was billed for $1 in June. His September payment will be for $1.50 and the December pay- ment will call for another $1.50, a total of $6, the amount of his original tax minus the 25 per cent reduction. In the event that this taxpayer pald one-half of his tax bill, or $4, in March, before the reduction, and an- other 25 per cent of the original tax, or $2, in June he has paid in full and is relieved of further payment by the reduction bill. When Rebate Is Due. If he paid his total original tax, or $8, before the passage of the reduc- tion bill he is entitled to a rebate of 25 per cent, or $2, at the present time. Most of the refund checks have been sent out, officials of the Income Tax Bureau sald today. Very few, if any, remain to be mailed, it was said.
