HEROISM TO GO UNCHALLENGED BY THE COURT So Much lint Little More Ha* Bern Established in Investigating Causes of Shenandoah Wreck ONLY PRAISE HEAIU) From the Start of the Hear hiK Monday When Hear Admiral Hilary l\ Jones Asks if Any (Umiplaiiits ll> IIOWLAMI WOOD (Cmrtfht IKS I? TO* AIumiI Lakehurst. N. J.. Sept. 23. ? -j The heroism of the crew of the wrecked dirigible Sheuandoah will to down In the annals of the Navy unchallenged. So much? but Utile more ? has been established at the Investing tlon by the court of I nq un named by Secretary of the Navy Wilbur to investigate the causes and draw the lessons to be derived from the wreck of the giant air ship In a storm over Ava. Ohio, on the morning of September Whether the exact cause of the big ahlp's break-up In mid air will, ever be known is uncertain. There Is little likelihood that an explana tion will be reached that will sat isfy all I he experts who will be called to testify later In the hear-; log. But nobody challenges the gallantry of the Shenandoah's crew, nor the coolness and assur ance with which they fought their loalng battle with the elements. From the start of the hearing Monday, when Roar Admiral Hil ary I*. Jones lined up the surviving members of the crew and met an Impressive alienee In response to hla query whether any of the "In tereeted parties" had any com plaint to make against any mem ber of the crew, living or dead, only words of praise were spoken for the conduct of ofTicers ami men of the Ill-fated Shenandoah. - Perhaps the most Impressive of the tributes to the dead was that of Colonel C. (J. Hall, grizzled , Army ?ir service observer of the > t Mid-Western crulae. who. with) Lieutenant Anderson, of tho 8hen- | andoah's crew, was the last to see ; "?the officers In the control car] alive. "There was perfect order and discipline in the control car to the j last," Colonel .Hall testified. "The officers and men went , about their duties as coolly and ?'f- _ flcLently as in the most casual flight. Captain Lanadowne's cool ness and assurance were especial ly noteworthy." Then, describing how he had leaped for the ladder into the hull of the airship as the control car began to wrench itself free, he concluded: "The men In the control car | went to their death attempting to keep control of their ship, which was not lost until the break-up. " Testimony as to what happened to cause the break-up was not en tirely clear. Several of the 2 3 ? members of the crew who were called to the stand fixed the height at which the break came a t ! 6,200 feet- ? more than a mile which would flt in with the con- i tentlon of Captain Hclnen. the , German airship expert, who helped ! build the Shenandoah, that the ! 8henandoah's helium gas. expand- | Ing In the rarefied atmosphere, ex erted sufficient pressure on the framework to smash It. Lieutenant Commander C. E. Roaendahl, the senior surviving officer, however. Indicated clearly that he believed the ship's back bone had been broken when the control cabin, swinging below the hull, wrenched Itself away hm the ahlp nosed upward. It was clesrly established that two of the Shenandoah's engines contributed their part to the din aster by going dead shortly after Commandrr Lansdowne had rung for full speed In a (ant attempt to atralghtrn out the ahlp. One had cracked a cylinder and had to ?.< stopped The other became over heated. The Nary Department's order authorised him to make auch change* In the prescribed Itlnorary for the trip an he deemed necen nary. "should the dictate* of safe ty and the weather conditions make II advisable." Cro?w examination of the crew members and teatlmony of the of ficers who conducted an Inquiry Into the accident st the scene will conaume the next three or four days. Then will come the "expert teatlmony." Including that of Col onel "Billy" Mitchell ?nd Captain Helnen.

Sept. 23. ? Pay ing the doctor with a dollar a year Is a plan which has long been In vogue in a North Carolina cottou mill town and which has recently been Inaugurated by the medical director of the refugee districts and approved by the Greek gov-! ernment. Yearn ago the mills In Roanoke Rapids. N. C.. of which S F. Pat terson Is the head and director, adopted a co-operative plan for payment of doctors bills. Each person was taxed a small amount and a community doctor was em ployed to look after the sick, which service was free to the af flicted, with the exception of the small yearly assessment. It was to the doctor's advantage to save! all the time he could to keep the I people well, and the last report 1 from the government was that ; Roanoke Rapids had made a rec- 1 ord In health statistics. Practical- , ly this same plan has been put | over in Greece by the medical di rector of the refugees and ap proved by the Greek government Each person will bo taxed one dollar a year and 250 dispensar ies. each In charge of a doctor, will he established throughout the district. The doctors will make tours on fixed dates through their field and emergency calls when necessary.

The committee met Tuesday night for a survey of the situa tion, and after some dlncusslon It was decided to place the matter before the public at large Just as it stands. The exact amount of . the shortage cannot he deter- . mined yet, through the fact that a number of blllfl still have not been presented; but It Is known , that the shortage will exceed I $100. All persons holding billa against the celebration have been1 requested to have them O.K.'d by ! the committee member authorising; i the purchase, and present them this week, not later than Saturday, to G. R. Little, finance chairman. . Mr. Little may be reached at the Carolina Banking A Trust Com- 1 pany. Hp points out that It Is es- ! Hential to have all the hills in hand at once, no that the committee | may finish their labor within a j reasonable time. A real test of the generosity and public splrltedness of Eliza- . heth City folks may rcnult from 1 this latest appeal for funds. The celebration Is past and gone. The money In spent. Those who give j now, it Is pointed out, give with out the urge of anticipation of a I gala event Just ahead. . In the hurry of soliciting funds for the celebration, many business firms were overlooked entirely. ; Others were visited by committee men. but the executives were out at the time, slid there was no sec- , ond solicitation. The general public was not solicited at all. In I consequence, members of the com Imlttee explain that probably bun- I dreds who would have given glad ly actually contributed nothing. There Is a strong probability that no committee will go out to solicit the funds needed to meet the dcflclt. A strong appeal Is Is sued to every one who han not con tributed. askliix that sll leave their contributions with Mr. Little. He offers assurance thai all will be given due credit through the newspapers later. ROUTE THIRTY TO CELEBRATE P. II. Williamx Will Pre side at Washington on September 2 1th Washington. N. C .
