INDORSE ZEPPELIN POLAR PLAN
SCIENTISTS REGARD BALLOON
TRIP AS FEASIBLE.
Arctic Storms and Suns Rays Among
the Conditions to Be Reck-
oned With.

BERLIN. July 2.-The proposal to reach
the north pole in Zeppelin airship is
regarded as feasible by Eric Won Drygal-
ski, the we'll known geographer and polar
explorer. who today said that the ac-
of the project lies within
the radius of action which Count Yep
pelin already has demonstrated as possi-
BILE for his craft. The dangerous and
severe arctic storms must be reckoned
ing in summer, and another condition to
be taken into consideration is the rays
of the sun, which develop great strength
in the summer time and are continuous.
Herr Won Drygalski regards the geo.
grap phic and scientific aims Of the expedi-
tion as fully justifying the venture and
the expense entailed.
Prof Penck. director Of the Oceano-
graphic Museum, explained today that
the distance from Spitzbergen to the
north pole is equal to that from Fried
richschafen to koenigsberg, and he takes
an optimistic view of the probabilities
of success.

Circumstantial Evidence Strong

ward Cunningham, laborer, today con-
fessed to the murder of Miss Caroline
Brasch, cashier for Gray Brothers Con-
struction Company. who was shot and
killed in the company's Offices last We'd
nesday.
Cunningham surrendered himself be-
cause another man was under arrest
charged with the crime. He entered a
newspaper office last night and made his
original statement, which later was re-
peated to the police.
The detective department was not noti-
fed until early today. Then representa-
tives of the paper delivered the man into
custody, together with a revolver with
which the crime is said to have been
committed.
In the arrest of J. Novak, another
laborer. employed by Gray Brothers, the
police were endeavOring to fasten the
crime on an innocent man who chanced
to he the victim of circumstances almost
unparalleled.
Cunningham. according to his state
ment, entered the offices of the Gray
Brothers just as Novak departed. Novdk
had disputed with Miss Brasch over d
trifing difference in his pay check, and,
failing to get satisfaction, went away in
anger.

The committee appointed by Secretary

service at East St. Louis was rotten and
a farce today reported that the inspect
ors there were honest men and perform
ing their duties efficiently and that no
meat had been passed which was unfit
for human food
Harms and Others Dismissed.
AS the result of the report Secretary
Wilson has ordered the summary dis
missal of Meat Inspectors Harms and
Bischop and Veterinary Inspector Michael
The report concludes as follows:
1t is the belief of your committee that
the men at the East st. Louis station,
from the top to the bottom, are abso-
lutely honest and competent; that they
are discharging their duty to the service
and to the public in a conscientious, high
minded. efficient way. and that no meat
is passed from the East st. Louis sta
ton bearing the mark of federal inSpec-
tion which is not in every respect fit for
human food.
The record shows that many of the
employees at the East st. Louis station
have worked overtime in their efforts to
give an honest, efficient inspection.
Hot Shot for Harms.
1T is to be regretted that the word OF
a disgruntled, dissatisfied employe, ire
sponsible and answerable to no one
should be made the occasion of an at
tack upon a service which is honestly
conducted and which means so much tt

The report. submitted to the Secretary
today and approved by him. is an ex
haustive presentation of the case. Th'
committee states that its investigation
was most searching and failed to revea
any trace of dishonesty upon the par
of any employe at the East st. Louis
station.
1t is declared that while there is alb
solutely no basis for the charges made
by Mr.. Harms they will. undoubtedly, t
