Newu of the World By Associated Press ESTABLISHED 1870 SHENANDOAH HELD UP AT SAN DIEGO Completes Its Trans-Continental Plight, But Is Damaged WASHINGTON 1S NEXT After Reaching Camp/Lewis, Alrship Will Return’ To Lakeburst And Later May Go To Hawail — Trip Across Was Most Spectacular One. San Diego, Cal,, Oct. 11.—Because a rear cabin was smashed while the Shenandoah was belng moored last night after completing her trans- continental flight and some repairs to her motors, the big dirigible willg They were prepared at the probably stay at her mooring mast at North Island all day today, ac- cording to a telephoue message from the North Island navy flying field. A hole about six feet long Was torn in the rear cabin of the giant dirigible, according to the communi- cation from North Island. Although (his damage was described as of a minor nature, it, together with'some work to be done on two of the ship's six motors, is expected to keep her here today. On To Camp Lewis The great dirigible was moored safely to the mast at North Island carly today after the first transcon- tinental flight by a rigid airship. Ahead of her lay a flight up' the Pacific coast to Camp Lewis, Wash- ington., the about face for Lake- hurgt, N. J., and the possibility later of a trip to Hawail. Flew Very Higt' The great vessel arrived here in good order, except that two of her motors needed overhauling, despite the hazardous flight over the Rocky Mountains. Despite winds that swept her fragile sides near jutting peaks and a storm that piled the huge bag of helium gas heavy with snow, the Shenandoah Jazily answer- ed her controls and pulled through the threatening passes in the moun- tains at an elevation of more than 7,000 feet, Safely past the last barriers to a successful journey, the Shenandoah’s crew leaped light-heartedly to the ground after she was moored at North Island and indulged in a smoke fest. « Golng without smokes was the hardest part of the 3,000 mile jaunt across the continent, the men gaid as they puffed away at pipes, cigars and cigarettes. Admiral W. A. Moftett, chief of the burean of naval aeronautics, was the first to jump out of the Shen- andoah's cabins. He was followed by Commander Zachary Lansdowne. Trip To Honolulu. Referring to the proposed Hono- 'ulu trip, Admiral Moffett sald the Shenandoah might be brought to the Pacific coast this winter for the navy maneuvers and after that might be taken to Honolulu, He added that in his judgment the Shenandoah would make such a trip more easily than it had the transcontinental cruise, we- ferring to the encountering crossing the mountains. e (Continued on Second Page) SLASHES MOVIE SCREEN Southerner Objects To Plot Which Shows Negro Maid Substituting For White Mistress at Wedding.

J, the start of which had been announced for this morning, was suddenly postponed at the last mine ute, until six o'clock tomorrow morning. : While no formal statement was forthcoming from the management of the Zeppelin works, where the great dirigible was built for the United States navy, it was apparent that Dr, Hugo Eckener, director of the works and commander of the ship, discovered that the ZR-3 was leaded with more weight than it could comfortably carry, * Dr. Eckener claimed that the at- mospherie lifting power this morn- ing was such that a successful start was precluded and he immediately afterward ordered quantities of gas- oline and pallast jettisoned. Even taking out a ton and a halt of gasoline, however, failed to light- en the ship enough so she would fioat as she should, and Dr. Eckener oxplained that the rising tempera- ture was hindering the dirigibie's lifting power. As every ounce of gasoline may he required to propel the vessel in the event of rough weather he deemed it best to postpone the hop-off rathér fhan further reduce his fuel supply, which, as the dirigible stood in its hangar this morning, weighed ahout 31 tons. Dr. Eckener is hoping for cooler weather and consequently more buoyancy when he endeavors to take off tomorrow. As the cool weather gives the alr- ship more lifting power, Dr. Ecken- er explained, efforts probably wili he made to get away by 6 a. m., before the temperature begins to rise with the sun. It is estimated that witn lifting power is reduced approxim- ately 600 pounds, consequently the dirigible today will be stripped of all excess weight, including some of the Amerlcan’s baggage, In the event the southern route 1s followed, it is likely that the dirigi- ble will reach the coast region of the United States near Charleston, 8. C., instead of New Yomk. In that event, Washingtqn may get a peep at the airship prior to the mooring at Lakehurst, |Eight Army Planes Are Seen Over Bridgeport Bridgeport, Oct. 11.—Eight United States army bombers of the Martin type passed over this city at 11 o'clock today at an altitude of 5,000 feet, going in the direction of Hart- ford.

Oppenheimer of Cleveland wired: "The Senators’ success is a forerunner of your own in the elec- tion and suggest that you as thelr mascot tender them a dinner.” Tribute was pald to Walter John- gon today by Judge Kenesaw Moun- tain Landis, the czar of organized baseball, during a flying visit to the supreme court en route to the rail- | road station.

IS FORMALLY OPENED Mount Carmel Tract Will Include About 1,§00 Acres Mount Carmel, Conn, Oct. 11.— Opening of the sleeping giant park, here today, marked another exten- sion of the state's reservation of land for public use and enjoyment. Abounding in natural beautles that make. it ideal as a public recreation space, the new park is expected to be liberally patronized. The tract has been long a source of interest because of the fact that the four hills, rising oneabove an- other give the appearance of a huge | giant stretched in repose, Mount Carmel forming the head and the other hills the remainder of the imaginative structure. Saving of the tract from the en- croachment by commercial interests has been effected by an assoclation which gecured subscriptions both of Jand and money for its preservation as a playground. A stone quarry had been operating on the elevation which formed the head of the glant and as the work of the crusher de- manded stone from the side of the hill the contour was in danger of de- struction. The proposed park will eventually include approximately 1,600 acres and will be alsot 2 miles in lengtn which is the distance from the the point where the imaginative can picture his upturned toes. At the present time the subscribers have secured for the association over 300 acres agd the attitude of the state park commission as expressed by one of the members Lucius F. Robin- son at the opening exercises today is to back the association in its ef- forts to complete control of the pro- posed trdct.

B. Joyce of Bronx;me Gets Avia- tion Fleld on Phone and Hooks Them Up With His Own Wireless Set—Story Corroborated. New York, Oct. 11.—A radjo fan named L. B. Joyce Bronxville was responsible for the rescue of Captain H. M. McClelland and three tellow aviators who lost themselves Jast night while flying with a squa- dron of nirie bombers from Langley Field, Va,, to Mitchel Feld, Long Island. of Story Corroborated. | The story, as related by Joyce, was corroborated today by officers at Mitchel Field, They declared the radio fan undoubtedly saved the avi- ators from “a gravely dangerous sit- uation,” for they were flying with a full load of bombs and a forced landing might have been disastrous. Joyce was listening in on a con- cert, he said, when he heard out of the air the words: “Please tell Mitchel Field that Captain McClel- land, flying with bombers from Langley Field, is lost somewhere De- tween Barnegat Bay and Atlantic City.” X Calls Up Field. Joyce immediately put in a tele- phone call for Mitchel Field, mean- while keeping an ear glued to his radio receivers. Captain McClelland thought one of the bhombers had “cracked’—later found to have been Captain E. W, Duncan’s machine— which was forced to land at Lake- hurst, N, J. He told of hearing a concert from station WDAR of Philadelphia, of trouble with his sending apparatus and {inability to communicate with Mitchel Field, of desperate attempts to compute his position by the cities, rivers and railroads he flew over, At ] McClelland found himself east of Sandy Hook. “But I can't get Mitchel Field.” McClelland said to Joyce. "I cannot see its lights. Please tell Mitchel Field to locate me.” Voice Came In Strong. By this time Joyce was in tele- | phone communication with the fleld and McClelland’svoice came 80 strong that it was transmitted from the radlo loud speaker to the. phone transmitter and he talked directly to officers at the field. Shortly after- ward they heard the far-off whirr of motors, flashed him landing signals, and he, with his crew of three, and their cargo of hombs, landed. Mitchel Field reported it since had learned that McClelland was at one time nearly over Philadelphia. The | fleld did not pick up his distress sig- | nals because trouble with the broad- | casting system of the bomber® caused him to send on a 405 wave length and later on 395, instead of the 420 | wave length to which Mitchel Field | apparatus was tuned.

LA FOLLETTE HITS AT GREAT MONOPOLIES Tells New Haven Audience of Fight Against “Great Octopus” New Haven, Conn., Oct 11.—Mrs, Robert M. La Follette, speaking in the interest of the La Kollette- Wheeler campaign here last night, named what she considered is the “great octopus” that her husband is fighting in his presidential fight, “The monopoly of transportation, the monopoly of ofl, monopoly of steel, the monopoly of money and credit— These great combinations of wealth in the hands of a few, who in viola- tion of the law are exploiting the many,” she sald, are the issues upon which Mr. La Follette is making his fight. Attacking the president, Mrs, La Follette said that Mr, Coolidge “shows a lack of human sympath criticizing Mm for his ‘“extraordi- nary effort to put over the Mellon plan of taxation which would lower taxes on large incomes and increase the taxes on small incomes.” She asked her audience to contrast “this extraordinary effort” with the prest. dent’s veto of the soldler honum, “that small compensation to our boys,” and his veto of the bill to increase the pay of postal clerks. “They handle 49 per ceat more mail,” she said, “and reckive 13 per cent less pay in purchasing power ;.‘..1" before the war."” Regarding the country’s foreign policy, Mrs. La Follette satd: “Great aggregations of wealth dic- tate our foreign policy. They make loans and investments in all parts of the globe and expect our govern- ment to back up their great under- takings. They assume that the flag will follow the investment. They plan to have our army and navy ready to take care of these great foreign ventures. So long as the control of big business in govern- ment continues, the pressure for the biggest army and navy will go on. “I am a pacifist. I cannot say that Mr. La Follette 48 one. I believe at no threatened danger, no vio- lation of principles could come upon us which would compare with tnu destruction of eivilization that will inevitably follow another war."” 10 70 0 YEARS This Is Sentence Given 18 Year Old Slayer In Middleburgh, Pl,—-KlH-( ed His Employer, Middleburgh, Pa, Oct. maximum sentence of not less than 10 years nor more than 20 years in the Eastern penitentlary at Phila- delphia was Imposed today by Judge | Potter on Ralph H.
