WALKERS LAST HOURS.
Never Spoke Again After Expressing
His Love.

Macon, Ga, May 23-The last words
of B. Sanders Walker, the heroic
young banker, who lost his week
old fight with death after swallowing
poison by mistake, were endearingly
addressed to his wife, who sat at his
bedside holding his hand until the
end came.
In his last minutes of conscious
ness. when he reused from a heavy
s;upor in which he had lain all day,
Mr.. Walker pressed his wife's hand
and said family:
"I love you, Marie
He never spoke again. During the
night the stupor deepened and about
l o'clock yesterday morning the
death agony began.
The funeral took place today at
Monroe, Mr.. Walkers boyhood home,
and the present residence of his par
ents. Mr.. and Mrs. B. S. Walker.
Walkers death occurred almost
seven days from the time he accf-
IDENTIFY swallowed the corrosive sub
Innate tablet, lacking only an hour
and half. Mrs. Walker haggard
and worn as the result of the weeks
ordeal, is almost prostrated over the
tragic fate of her husband. 1t de-
velonad that Mr. Walker carried life
insurance in excess of S150;000.
Until he became unconscious for
the first time Walker had steadfast-
ly assured the physicians he was de-
termined to live. When finally realiz-
ing that it was hopeless, he display
ed remarkable composure.
After he had swallowed the dead
" tablet Walker never allowed a day
TO pass without having his baby son
perched for a while on the arm of a
chair, as he rallied his wife and par
EMS with brave talk that he "would
fool the doctors" who said he could
? not get well. He had his intimate
friends around him, showing the same
plucky spirit to them.

A|RSH|P TOCROSS
ATLANTIC OCEAN
W|THiNTW0YEARS

New York. uJly Count Zeppe-
lin is seriously planning to drive one
OF his airships across the Atlantic,
according to private adyices received
here last week by an aeronautic au-
thority. The news is made more
dramatic because OF the fact that the
letters say that Count Zeppelin him
self VIII pilot the ship If his health.
at n years. confines to remain good.
The report. which originates in a
highly re liable source, says the trip
will be made in the summer of 1915,
by which time the engineers of the
great Zeppelin works at Friedrich
shafen expect to have completed an
airship twice the size OF the Geppe-
Inns. Tie ship is 70 be 1000 feet
long and so beam, with five to six
motors, and the time estimated for
the ocean passage is three days.
The plan contemplates that the
airship will follow the ocean steam
ship lane. so that the air craft will
be in continuous wireless communi-
cation with ocean vessels, particu-
larly those OF the Hamburg Ameri-
can line, in case of emergency,
Thinks Power Sure.
DR.. Colsman, director Of the Ger
man Airship Navigation company,
which operates the passenger Zeppe-
Inns in Germany, has announced that
the radius of the Zeppelin airship is
now known definitely, owing to it's
conservation system for retaining its
gas, that there is no longer any
doubt OF the airships agility to
cross the Atlantic.
The same information says it is
practically assured that al least two
Zeppelin airships viii be sent to
the Panama exposition at San Fran
cisco by way Of the ocean and over
continental flight Zeppelin engi-
neers, he said, vii visit the United
States this year to test the atmos-
pheric currents and decide on the
best route across the continent and
to select bases for replenishment OF
the airships en- route in case the heat
of the American plains has a more
powerful effect on the ships gas
supply than over the plains of the
upper Rhine valley.
Count Zeppelin, so the private cor
respondence says may come to the
United States with his engineers.
Some time back the count denied a
similar report that he was contem-
plating the achievement OF crossing
the ocean.
Experts Here Convinced.
Export acronautists in this Coun-
try who have visited Germany and
have been passengers on the Zeppe-
Inns, and are acquainted with many
of the commanders of the Zeppelin
airships and members OF the techni-
cal staff, have returned here con
vinced that the development of the
Zeppelin airship has very near y ap-
preached the long expected perfec-
tion that would enable it TO cross
the sea,
1t is known among aeronautic au-
thorities that the radius Of the pres
ent largest marine airships in the
German navy is equal to 1900
miles, and these ships are only hall
the size Of the one that it is now
understood will be built to accom-
plish the ocean feat.
A man who was in Germany last
summer says that the motors which
have been used on the Zeppelin air.
ships in the last two years are Sc
reliable that they have run at full
speed for forty hours.
