DR BROWN ASSAILS GOVERNOR'S POWER i Terms Short Ballot Amend- . ment as a Most Un-Dem- ocratic Policy. BALLSTON, Va., September 7. eoncentration of the mvernmenm powers of Virginia in the hands of the ! governor through the adoption of the : shuii ballot_received the brunt of the attack upon the old line Democrats that was delivered tonight in the Washing- 1 ton-Lee High School here by Dr. Wil- liam Moseley Brown, coalition candi- date for governor. Referring to the short ballot amend- fment as a most un-Democratic policy Lof the present administration, Dr. Brown declared that it is an affront ! to the citizens of Virginia and an in- sult to their intelligence for any one to imply that they are not sumciently qualified to elect their State treasurer, uperintendent of Fubm: instruction d commissioner of agriculture. Accuses Vote Trap. “Under the constitution of 1902,” Dr. Brown said, “the WYI! of Vi were permitted to elect six te officials. This number was enough, but the machine leaders thirsted for more power and got more power. Under the guise of ‘simplifica- .tion and economy’ the amendments ‘'were placed before the people of the State and carried by small majorities. And now the people have begun to wake up to the fact that they have fallen into a trap deliberately set to catch them unawares. They see they have unwittingly made it possible for the governor to control more than 30,000 of the 45000 office holders in the Btate.” Dr. Brown declared that what is sadly needed in Virginia today is an inereased political consciousness on the part of the people, who should be given more power and not less power. “The short ballot,” he said, “is de- cidedly an issue in this campaign. The framers of the amendments were so adroit and clever as te leave the method of appointment of these three officials to legislative enactment and so, after 1930, may use its whim is deciding how these important efficers may be chesen.” Cites School System. The school system is particularly af- fected by the shart baflot, he thinks, since it represents one of the two finten State gavernmental activities, e other being highways, tention to the fact that §: spent each year in State funds for schools, Dr. Brown stated that he thought the head of this huge department should certainly be selected by popular vote and net political appointment, The passage of the short ballot amendments took away from the citizens the last direct contact that they had with school officials, he said, and now the entire school system is ?pen to the gravest political machina- jons. A thorough and immediate revision of the State election laws was advo- cated in the speech. “The powers given to the registrars, the absent voters provisions, the procedure in con- tested election cases and other features of the election laws make them an abomination to the people of Virginia,” he said. The institution of lbraries through- out the State and the use of a portion of the State treasury surplus to build and maintain them was advocated by Dr. Brown. Lyon Intreduces Dr. Brown. Frank Lyen. State chairman of the independent. Democratic organization, who intreduced Dr. Brown, delivered a i H Epeech of considerable length, in which he impressed upon his listeners that they must ever realize the fact that, because of the upset in Virginia politics in the last national election, the eyes of the entire country are on the coming elec- tion and that the voters of the United States await with interest the outcome of a fight that must determine whether Virginia has permanently deserted the old Democratic party or whether she merely withdrew because of the candi- dacy of Gov. Alfred E. Smith. Present on_ the platform with Dr. Brown were Mrs. Brown, Lyon, J. E. Spaulding, chairman of the Arling- ton County Republican committee, and 14 women who represented the various women's organizations of Arlington and Fairfax Oountles who | ‘are supporting Dr. Brown.

The rumor has #pread that the region is rich in gold, and prospectors, engineers and geol- ghh have flocked to Limoges and to e smaller towns of Cheni and Beaune, Where énhi has been found, At Chenl a mining company has started to refine ore and the company managers declare the average quantity of gold obtained is half an ounce per ton. At Beaune a vein has been - cpvered which is expected to yield from e to four pounds per ton. Geolo- ts are not able to determine whether e vein is long and wide enough to supply even one pound of metal. ‘The population of Limousin has been 80 #xcited by the discovery that many rmers have abandoned their plows search for gold on their land.

Then from the bench came calm, composed, sympathetic questions which would not disturb the mental processes of a child. The witness basked as in sudden sunlight, and we felt that at last he was telling the truth, It was a dramatic_revelation of the inner urge in the baffled bosem of hu- manity—the longing for a repository for troubles in the lap of blind justice. A theory took hold of me and I left the courtroom while the trial dragged on to.try and prove it. Thomas A. Edi- son says he is better off without hear- ing. My theory was that Judge Boyd was better off without sight. I found his immediate superior, the man who appointed him to office, Judge A, O Dabney, He would neither agree nor dlugue “¥ou must not attribute too mueh to his blindness,” said Judge Dabney, “for 'Mupny’ Boyd is a rare fellow, and he has that calming effect t‘s:l?o;’ople outside of court, as well as The next man was more inclined to ee.

When “Z” members meet on the street they pause, lift their hats and pass without speaking. It is said that Judge Boyd never fails to recognize any of his fellow “Z's.” As I talked about him with leading citizens of Charlottesville their attitude seemed to be: “Why speak of blindness? Isn't he just as competent as_any one else? 8o I went past my inquiry abeut the blind justice.

He is Dr. Hugoe Eckener, skipper of the dirigible Graf Zeppelin, returning to Germany on the liner New Yerk, ac- claimed as the pilot of the fastest world voyage of history. His ship, that shortened by months the Verne dream of an 80-dav world tour, is back at its base in Friedrich- shafen, there, comparatively speaking. to be “shelved"” in faver of greater sky liners to come. Before departing, the 60-year-old sefentist who had been a scoffer before becoming an ardent pioneer with Count Zeppelin of lighter-than-air craft de- velopment, gave out the details of two proposed transatlantic dirigible lines, and almost simultaneously Paul W, Litchfleld, president of the Goodyear Zeppelin Co., told of progress in pro- jected establishment of a transpacific Zeppelin service. Parting Words. Dr. Eckener's parting words at the pler epitomized a long interview he previouslv had given in his elaborate suite 6 floors up in an exclusive Fifth | avenue hotel.

Several Miles for Port. It is understood that establishment of proposed terminal would affect an of several square miles in extent either direetly or indirectly. The Navy Department, in seeking a site for the future base for two glant military diri- gibles now being constructed at Akron, Ohio, has laid down minimum qualifica~ tions for such a field as that proposed by Dr. Eckener. A satisfactory site, the Navy Depart- antic acre tract of well drained and level land for the field proper. This land need not be absolutely level, but must not have morg than a very gradual slope.

Sefety Is Held Relative Term. “The larger the safer, in the cus of dirigibles,” the naval architect ex plained. “Safety is a relative term, bu ice will have to demonstrate jus safe such a trip is. “The dirigibl can take care of itself in complieation to an amasing extenl. With greate size, the girders can be made heavia 30 that they won't break up in a wint or storm. In the smalil ships, they ar¢ of course, lighter.” It is expected that the proposed ter | minal will require hangar facilitie equal to those now under eonstructio | at _Akron, Ohio, for construction of thi two Navy lighter-than-air giants. Tht hangar is the largest building yet con structed by man. It is so huge tha 14 foot ball games could be playes within it simultaneously. The structure rests upon moving rol lers instead of being anchored firml: to its foundations so that it may by free to expand and contract witl changes in temperature. The hanga; has such tremendous doors that th task of opening one of them is equ to swinging the side of an 18-storj sykscraper on hinges. The Akron hangar is 1,200 feet long a city block wide and equal to the height of an 18.story building. De. spite the tremendous area which mus! be enclosed under one roof, there car be no interior supports, obviously, tc interfere with the movement of the dirigibles. ~ Construction of such 8 hangar presents an entirely new fiel¢ of engineering. Larger Airships Underway. Larger airships than the Graf Zep- pelin are building not only in this country but also in England, and Dr, Eckener has said that the next Ger- man dirigibles also will be larger than his present pride. There now are only six rigid dirigibles in operation or under eonstruetion in the world, though con- struction of & number of others is ex- pacted to begin within the next year. ‘The growth in size of each successive dirigible in the present world series of six is an indication of what the future holds in this respect. The Navy Los Angeles, oldest of the six, has a nominal gas veiume of 2,470,000 cubic feet. The Graf Zeppelin's ca- pacity is 3.708,000 cubic feet. Great Britain now is completing two 5,000,000~ cubic foot ships and the two United States Navy dirigibles, construetion of which now is under way, will eontain 6,500,000 cubic feet of lifting gas apiece. Not enly in size, as measured by gas capacity, but in efficiency, as measured by the amount of useful load they can carry, are the dirigibles improving with each model. The Los Angeles can carry a useful load of 60,000 pounds, as against 140,000 pounds for the Graf Zeppeln. The British R-101 will carry an estimated load of 154.000 pounds and the R-100 is to carry 160.000 pounds. The iwin United States Navy giants each will have a useful life of 182,000 pounds, more than three times that of the Los Angeles.
