Vaniman floated his airship Akron, in
which he hopes to cross the Atlantic
ocean, out of Hangar today, and after
circling over the meadows and the bay
for nearly an hour, made safe land
ing. Later he expressed himself as
wholly satisfied with the test. The
ship is the same one in which he
made flight over the city last fall,
but it has been improved, however.
During the trip he met with a slight
accident which might have proven dis.
astrous. Aboard, besides Vaniman,
were his brother Calvin, Chief Engin-
eer Fred Almas, Assistant George
Bourrillion, Assistant Navigator Wal
ter Guest, Mechanician, and Ralph Up
ham, of Akron, Ohio one Of the con-
structors of the ship.
Vaniman had been out half an hour
when the accident occurred. The d.
rigible had performed splendidly an
swering the guiding hand Of the naviea-

Commission Considers Com.
mon Carriers Can Have
Preferred Privileges
Individual Lines May Appeal
to Commerce and the
Supreme Courts
By Associated Press,


WASHINGTON June lin a supple.
mental decision of the so-called tap
line case" announced today, the in
terstate commerce commission holds
forty OF the lines, which it names, to
perform transportation service, for
which they are entitled to receive com
pensation out of through rates.
TWENTY-FIVE Of the tap lines
considered by the commission, were
held to be merely plant facilities, and
not entitled to either switching allow
ances or division rates.
Thus the commission divides the
tap lines into two classes, those which
are purely Industrial facilities and
those which may be considered as
common carriers. OF those thus far
passed upon, fifty -eight-2e today and
S6 on April 23-are in the first class,
and forty in the second. It is ex-
pected certain individual tap lines
which are held to be not common car
riers will appeal to the commerce
court and eventually. if necessary, to
the supreme court.
