Germany, Completing Its
Remarkable Tour.
By EDWARD W. PICKARD
PILOTED with admirable skill by
Dr. Hhgo Eckener, the Graf Zep
pelin, base German dirigible, arrived
st Frledrtchshafen, Germany, 68 hours
snd 66 minutes after Its stsrt from
Lakehurst, N. J, and two hours later
was at rest on the land. Thus was
completed the first round trip com
mercial transatlantic flight of a light
er than air machine. The time made
on the homeward journey of 4,008
piles established a record for ma
chines of that clans. Paying passen
gers, mall and freight were carried
pa both legs of the trip.
, Taking the northern route on Its
eastward flight, the Graf Zeppelin
passed over the southern point of
Newfoundland and thai dodged and
flew high to avoid the storms of wind
'and rain. The region of squalls be
ing left behind, she turned to the
south and flew low and fast across
the Bay of Biscay and over France
(direct to her home hangar. As she
(was drawn to the ground the passen
gers crowded at the windows of the
cabin. The bands at the airdrome
played the German national anthem
and "The Star Spangled Banner."
The crowd on the ground, which
had been held In check by a cordon
of polity, broke through and shouted
their greetings to the passengers.
When the door of the, cabin was
opened -Mrs. Clara Adams ef Tan
nersvllle. Pa* the only woman aboard,
.was standing at It. She was greeted
with lAnit rh?ff_
The meet Interesting figure among
those who crossed en the airship was
Clarence Tyrone, nineteen-year-old
caddy of the llye (N. T.) Golf elob,
whose home Is in St. Louia. Be was
a stowaway looking for adyentnre and
when discovered was pot to work
washing dishes. But his feat excited
such universal admiration that on
landing ho was treated with the ut
most consideration, and John H. Kehl,
American consul at Stuttgart was so
hand to look after his Interests since
he bad no passport The lad's near
future seemed assured," for he re
ceived numerous lucrative offers. Bat!
Carroll, New York theatrical producer,

passage on the Zeppelin and his ex
penses back to the United States A
German movie company offered Ter
hune $2,090 for his appearance In one
picture; the proprietor of a big Ber
lin dancing palace offered him the
same sum If he would appear there
one evening as a guest; a hotel keeper
In Heidelberg offered a fortnight's
hospitality free, and the Hagenhack
circus sought to engage the boy as a
lion tamer. Until It was decided what
he would do, the stowaway was tak
en in charge by Countess von Brah
denberg-Zeppetln, daughter of the
lata Inventor of the airship.
The Graf Zeppelin carried 101.683
plecea of mall back to Germany, for
which the German postal administra
tion was credited with ITfiJlS by

PRESIDENT COOLIDGE-8 emergen
? ey board, named to consider the
wage dispute between Western rail
roads and their employees, has rec
ommended an Increase of fitt per cent
In wages without changes In operating
rales, or an Increase of 7^4 per cent
and the elimination of the 'doable
header and tonnage limitations; Tbe
board further advised that whichever
of these two alternatives is accepted
by the trainmen and the railroads,
should be put In effect as of May 1,
1928, at which time the Increase In
wages for engineers and firemen went
Into effect
Under tbe law neither side to the
controversy can change tbe status quo
until SO days after the report of the
emergency board la made public Tbe
trainmen cannot strike or the roads
declare a lockout In that period. It
la the view In Washington that the
alternative recommendations offer a
compromise which will be accepted
and that a strike that has threatened
for months la Western territory la
averted.
TWENTY-SIX strikers, who were
found guilty of contempt In violat

aldermen, the head of the children's
serrlce bureau, one police lieutenant
and three women.
The special grand Jury that has
been probing crime conditions In Phil
adelphia presented recommendations
that 21 police captains and Inspectors
be dismissed. Mayor Harry Mackey
left a sick bed to suspend the ac
cused men and promised a complete
reorganisation of the police bureau.
ONE of the extraordinary criminal
cases of the time Is that of
George Harsh and Richard. Oaltogly,
young students at Oglethorpe univer
sity, Georgia, who are accused of the
murder of two clerks during hold
ups. The police said Harsh admitted
firing the shots that killed tbe vic
tims and said Gallogly drove the au
tomobile used to flee the scene of the
robberies. Harsh said the holdups
were committed to get a "thrill," and
that he shot the clerks because be
wanted a "bigger kick."
