ax CLYDE w. ENNIS

Substantiating the declaration of
George B. Mccormack, president of the
Pratt Consolidated Coal company, as
to the weighing of cars at Mineral
Springs, a statement was issued yes
terday by the Southern Weighing and
Inspection bureau. J. e. Bush yester-
day dictated the following:
THE statement of Mr. George B. Nc
Cormacl, president of the Pratt Con-
solidated Coal company, appearing in
The Age Herald of March 19 as to the
weighing of carload shipments of coal
from Banner on railroad track cars at
Mineral Springs is correct, The cars are
accurately and carefully weighed on
scales in good condition by represen-
tatives of the Southern Weighing and
inspection bureau under the supervi-
sion of ]. e. Bush. district manager.
The weights are used by the carrier
in assessing freight charges and by
the shipper in invoicing"
1t was explained that the bureau
has no supervision over the weighing
at the tipple nor has the Pratt Con-
solidated. From the time the coal is
mined until it is weighed by the South
ern Weighing and Inspection bureau no
official or employe of the Pratt COM
pany has anything to do with the coal.
AS pointed out by Mr.. Bush in his
statement the same weights are used
by the Louisville and Nashville in as
sessing freight charges as are used by
the Pratt company in selling its coal
to whatever firm or person buys that
coal.
As all industrial and railroad men are
well aware the Southern Weighing and

WIND DESTROYS
GERMAN D|R|G|BLE
Substitute z. L." Wrecked
in Windstorm at
Karlsruhe

Karlsruhe, Germany. March 19.-Two
months after her trial the German mill
tary dirigible Zeppelin tube, known as
Substitute H. L." is a wreck She was
broken in two this afternoon while at
tempting a landing after "a hours fight.
This start was made from Cos, a village
Of Baden, where the balloon was sta
toned.
The pilots intended to return to Oos,
but finally decided, on account of the
gusty wind, which reached velocity of
40 miles, to anchor at Karlsruhe.
They had not yet finished the work Of
anchoring when a terrific gust buclxled
the forward half Of the dirigible. Another
gust lifted the airship and detach-
ment of soldiers, who were clinging to
the ropes, were forced to release their
hold. The aluminium frames began to
break away and the whole structure col
lapsed.
The Substitute 2. L. made a trial
flight on January 16 and on two occa-
sions afterwards made very satisfactory
endurance flights. The dIligible was ac-
cepted by the war department February
10. Her length was 140 metres approx
inateIy 46o feet and her speed exceeded
90 miles an hour.
