Chief Noble said the fire started on the second floor, but the cause was not determined. The owner of the house sald there have been no furnace fires in the house for some time. It is possible that electric wir- ing may have started the blaze, The Reynolds family occupies the first floor tenement and the Gold- smiths live on the second floor. Both tenements were flooded with water and there is considerable damage to the furnishings as well as to the building.

Among the men was Captain 8ir George Hubert Wilkins, arctic ex- plorer. The ship was trundled ffrom its hangar at 5:45 a. m. and at the pi- lot's command was reelased for its long voyage at 5:57 a. m. (11:57 p. m, e. s t, Wedneaday). It rose slowly in an intermittent drizzle, while 200 or more apectators cheer- ed. 1t circled the field once, and dis- appeared in 10 minutes in the di- rection of Lake Constance gnd Basel, Switzerland. After flying over Walashut and Baeckingen the dirigible arrived over Basel at 7:§0 a. m., a fog obliging it to descend close to the ground to discharge its first load of air mail. Five Swiss airplanes joined it there and acted as an escort as far as the French frontier which it wirelessed it had crossed at 7:55 a. Eckener Announces Course Dr. Eckener before he left an- nounced his course. “After leaving France we will go along the coast of Spain until we reach Gibraltar and then we will see what next. It we went above the mouth of the Loire we would have strong south- westerly winds against us which would delay us so much we would lose five hours’ more time than by going by way of Gibraltar, even though that is 450 miles farther. ° “I have advised the French gov- ernment accordingly. Whether we will cross the Azores I cannot tell as yet. When we get out there we'll stick our noses in the air, take a good sniff, and decide where to trun next.” ‘The decision to pass over Gibral- tar indicated that an almost ex- treme southerly great circle course probably would be followed, the distance to- be covered thus ap- proaching 7,500 miles as against a 4,000 mile minimum distance if the northern great circle course were followed. Passengers and ‘members of the ship’s crew began to arrive at the dirigible’s hangar shortly atfer five o'clock. The gorilla, “Susi,” wi taken aboard first, the dirigible's human freight following. Mrs. Plerce Aboard Mrs. Pierce was one of the first at the field. 8he was attired in beige traveling costume, straw hat trim- med with feathers, tan shoes and silk stockings. The silk stockings, how- ever, she changed for woolen golf hose on the advice of a newspaper correspondent. At 5:35 her French maid brought her a small bag which contained a costly brown fur coat. “I do hope I'll see you again” the maid said with a catch in her voice. Mrs. Pierce replied: “Oh! Certain- ly, and don't forget to send the mes- saggs I teld you to send.” Fekener Goes On Ship Dr. Eckener was the last aboard the zeppelin. It was taken from its hangar, poking its nose imposingly into the dreary grey mist. At 5:56 he gave the command to start the motors and the next minute the vast dirigible was on its way, first des- cribing a loop over Friedrichshafen.

Ideal Weather Forecast New York, May 16 P—Dr. James H. Kimball, associated United States meteorologist, predicted iden weather conditions over the southern route by way of the Azores for the dirigible Graf Zeppelin on its flight from Germany to the United States, The weather map of the North Atlantic, he said, showed an area of high barometric pressure extending across the ocean from the Asores to Bermuda. This condition, he sald, had been building up for three da: and could be expected to continue for 48 hours, Local aqualls such as ripped a fin of the Graf Zeppelin on her firat trip to this country, may be en- countered, Dr. Kimball said, on either side of the Azores, Other Ocean Flights By Huge Dirigibles Friedrichshaten, Germany, May 1¢ UM—Just seven months ago yester. day, the dirigible Graf Zeppelin landed at Lakehurst, N. J., complet. ing an ocean voyage similar to that begun today. That October flight was the first commercial airship journey across the Atlantic, and it was a journey fraught with peril, a long battie 'againat the elements that was a glor- ious victory for human courage and ability. The Graf Zeppelin left Friedrich- shafen at 2 a. m, New York time, on Oct. 11, expecting to' make the trip in 80 to 85 hours despite threat- ening cyclonic areas over the At- lantic. That Damaged Fin But it was blown far south of its course and it bucked headwinds that ripped the covering from one of its rear fins and left a hole in the hip's aide which let the tempest roar into the great bag and threaten to burst it like a toy balloon. At that point, as the dirigible hung in the stormy sky, crippled and al- most at the complete mercy of the winds: human courage of the type more commonly associated with the old ships that sailed the waters rather than with the modern ones that ride the clouds, saved the day. Four members of the crew, includ- ing Knud Bckener, son of Dr. Hugo Eckener, the Graf's designer and commander, climbed out on the steel framework of the broke fin aud in a lashing gale high above the reach- ing waves they made emergency re- pairs that enabled the Graf to reach her destination. Lakehurst wi reached 111 hours and 38 minutes after the take-off in Germany, The damaged fin had been made light of in radio dispatches from the Graf and it was not stressed in in.- | terviews by the officers immediately after the dirigible landed at dusk. Only the next morning when the light of day fell on the skeleton framework . were observers able to W "Nothing But the Truth' HEAR from seising them and stripping. the gigantic frame of the ship bare. The return journey of the Grat to Gevmany was far less eventful. It left Lakehurat on Oct. 29 and a rived over Friedrichshafen after a flight of only 68 hours and §6 min- utes, although it hovered above its home station for several hours more before landing. On the westward trip it carried 60 persons, including 18 passengers and on the return flight 63 including 23 passengers. Previous Crossings Before the Graf Zeppelin made its first round trip across the ocean there had been three crossings of the North Atlantic by dirigibles. In 1919 the British R-3¢ made a round trip and in 1924 the Los Angeles was flown from Friderichshafen as an in- stalment on war reparafion pay- ments by Germany to the United States. The R-34, with 39 persons aboard, made the westward trip in 1 hours. The Los Angeles made it in 81 hours and 17 minutes, a record still standing for the westward flight for dirigibles though the Graf made better time on its eastward flight. The Los Angeles had 31 persons aboard. The R-3¢ took 75 hours for its return flight to England, Mast Serious Accident The most serious accident on any of the dirigible flights so far was that to the fin of the Graf Zeppelin last October. There was no accident on the Los Angeles and the R-34 round trip was marred only by the tearing of one gas cell. This. was discovered and repaired before there any serious danger. On two of the five ocean crossings by dirigibles there have been stow- aways. The R-34 brought a stow- away over in 1919 and the Graf Zeppelin took one back last year. A stowaway was discovered on the Graf at Friedrichshafen May 13 and ejected. ‘There have been animals on all the flights. A tortoise shell cat came over on the R-34 and a pigeon was carried when it started back. A canary made last year's round trip on the Graf as a canary rode the Los Angeles from Germany. A gor- illa is aboard the Graf on its pres- ent trip. The R-34is the only dirigible so far to report a desertion during an Perfect phone House! CAPITOL NEVER MORE CHIC! NEVER MORE BEAUTIFUL!
