Last October the huge dirigible "eompleted its first round trip from «its base" at Friedrichshafen, Germany to the navy reservation here, where iy he naval dirigible Los Angeles has 'home. "At 555 o'clock (eastern standard time) thig afternoon a speck was, 'sighted 14 miles away to the east by Coxswain William Bishop, ' man for the Los Angeles, and half. an hour later the huge sil- ver. hag poked its shining nese into the sunsct over the Manoeuvering in salute to a cheer- ing crowd of almost 100,000 persons, 'the. zeppelin disappeared over northern horizon and cruised over New York City before returning to the reservation and where it drop- ped its landing ropes at 8:49 p.m. Tt was dragged to a stub-mast on the field, pending its removal into the huge naval hangar which will be its home 'until it departs on the return journey, The landing was accom- plished 94 hours and one minute from the time the ship left its base * 4175 miles distant last Wednesday night. 'An average speed of approximate- ly 45 miles an hour was credited to the big ship up to the time it was first sighted, but the craft slowed down as it approached its destina- tion and rode leisurely to New York and it was believed that the final computation would reduce the early average, Authorities estimated the Graf tra- [13.5 $2,000.00 FIRST MORT- GAGE funds wanted on 2 completed house.

When the Graf takes off on its re- turn trip it will be starting a cruise around 'the world, which will be fol- 'lowed next spring by a transarctic exploration cruise. ¢ Dr. Eckener, commander of the Zeppelin, announced on his arrival that if fuel and oil supplies could be taken on soom enough, he will start back Wednesday night to Friedrich- shafen. The return flight will be the first of a four-leg cruise around the world. Generally the second westward crossing was far more successful than the last. In October disaster threat- ened the ship far at sea when a gale ripped wide open its huge steering fin, but it reached its destination safely after Knud Eckener, young son of the Graf's skipper, climbed out on the big bag and temporarily repaired the damage. On the latest westward voyage, however, a broken water tank that wet a cabin roof, was about the most untoward incident. Some bad wea- ther was encountered, but none of it was like the damaging gale of Oc- tober or the storm that buffcted the ship about southern France after it had turned back on a transatlantic flight in May, because of motor trou- e. Today the arrival was being broad- cast to New York offices of press associations and through a network of broadcasting stations even before the dirigible reached the field, A flying telephone booth of the Ameri- can Telephone and Telegraph com- pany carried the radiophone equip- ment by which reporters told the story to their offices and announcers sent discriptions to the public thru stations of the Columbia -Broadcast- ing Company. A Beautiful Sight The ending of the journey pro- vided a beautiful sight, more than 15,000 automobiles jammed into the 2,500 acres of the reservation and from each car poured a capacity load of passengers, who wandered about the field under reinforced guard of State troopers, marines and sailors, A heavy wind that had whipped the field throughout the day had moderated and great banks of white clouds became fleecy in the sunset as the silvery Graf came out of the east under an escort of fourteen air- planes and silhouetted ifself in the heavens before vanishing toward New York, On its return from the metropolis, its lights blinked on the northern horizon and the thrill of arrival gave way to the excitement of the landing, The crowd was or- derly, however, and acres of roped- off areas were respected. Dr. Eckener, 'commander, and the 18 passengers whom he carried at $2,000 a ticket, immediately on land- ing, became the object of more than a score of newspaper men seeking interviews, customs and immigration agents, A special train was engaged to carry the passengers to New York Stowaway to be Returned The stowaway who hid in the bag of the dirigible until it had left Friedrichshafen received attention from the authorities, although it was believed his case would be left in the hands of German officials for disposition after he is returned post- haste by steamship to Germany. The Zeppelin carried 15 sacks of { mail, considerable freight, 600 can. | aries, a baby gorilla and a young | mals being consigned to a New t chimpanzee, the birds and the ani- ! York animal dealer, The passengers left the airship and submitted to customs and immigra- tion examination, and the mail was removed soon after the landing; some of the freight, however, was still aboard when the craft was moored to the sub-mast shortly be- ' | | { { 48 Simcoe Street, South, 8 = === ..

Squads of de- tectives were left without a clue to the identiy of the robbers. Miss Mary Conroy, = 21-year-old clerk in the Laura Secord snop, closed the store at 10 o'clock, counted the day's receipts, cut the cash register tape. Outside, a few doors away a friend waited, At the front door appeared Doris Dolden, 1032a St. Clair avenue west, a clerk in a Hunt store two doors away. She told Miss Conroy that a man had phoned the Hunt store, had asked to speak to the clerk in the Laura Secord shop and had said that the message was urg- ent. fore 10 o'clock to remain there: for the night.

She ran into the Hunt store and answ- ered the phone. As she ran from her own shop, a man lurking dn the. shadows, dashed in, ran through the store to the office behind, opened the un- locked door of the safe, took two cardboard boxes containing $378, unlocked triple bars on the back door and escaped through an alley- way to a side street, according to the reconstruction of the case as made by detectives. SCOUTS RUMORS OF ONTARIO ELECTION 30,000 Hear Cabinet Heads at Col. Lennox's' Annual Picnic Toronto, Aug. 6.--'I might tell you in confidence that this govern- ment is going to continue in pow- er for some time. I may say that we have not even discussed an elec- tion. When we feel, however, that that time has come, we will not hesitate in declaring an election; we will not hesitate in going to the people of Ontario." In those few brief sentences Pre- mier Ferguson yesterday afternoon definitely dealt the body blow to rumors that Ontario was going to be the centre of an election this fall. He spoke at the 24th annual Lennox picnic at Jackson's Point, Lake Simcoe, and aproximately half of the crowd of 30,000 crowded around the stand to hear the pre- mier make his declaration. Pausing just a moment to con- One man lurking near the door- { Public men today realize that ads they are merely the servants of the | people, chosen by the people to put their wishes into effect, stated the premier. A few men who were not of the government were clamoring for an election. Yet the govern- ment did not feel like going. into an election when there seemed to be no reason. "In confidence I will further tell you that the government doesn't see anyone on the horizon to fill their positions," he continued with a smile and the crowd cheered. "And I don't see for sometime that anyone will he on that horizon." Following an array of speakers, including Hon. George 8. Henry (minister. of highways), Hon. Chas. McCrea (minister of mines), Hon. Dr. R. J. Manion (former | minister of national defence and federal member for Fort William), Geo. Spotton, M.P. (Huron North) and Col. T. H. Lennox, M.P., the premier first paid tribute to Col. "Herb" Lennox, the host of the day. He characterized Col Lennox the invincible challenger for peo- ple's rights "up in. North York." Continuing, he referred to Hon. George Henry's remarks on the highways. He declared that the improved highways of Ontario are giving rural residents access to the cities and that greater interest is being given the farmers' roads at present by the government. Last year $6,000,000 had been spent on the highways, and this would be increased if necessary. Farmers were also benefitting under the extension of rural hydro. The water powers of Ontario be- longed to every resident of the province, and every resident should be offered the opportunity or snar- ing in the power derived from them. Also in education, the ru- ral child will be afforded greater opportunity to take up advanced studies under the proposed changes in the educational system of the province.
