BIG DIRIGIBLE
BREAKS LOOSE
IN HIGH WIND
Two Men Jump to Safety as
MOoring Ropes Give
Way.
DESTROYER IN PURSUIT
Navy Craft Had just Com
pleted Successful Flight
to St Johns.

ST. JoHN's, N. f., May 15-The
C-5 ran away this afternoon on the
wings of the half gale from the west
which helped bring her here. But
her liberty was not long lived; a Brit
ish steamship came upon her before
dark eighty miles out at sea. The
dirigible had settled to the surface of
the ocean and the steamer is standing
by until morning, when navy craft
will salvage her.
No one was carried out with the
blimp, but two men had to jump for 1t
when her moorlngs parted at go
o'clock.
The destroyer Edwards immediate
ly speeded out to sea in pursuit in the
faint hope that she might be able to
bring down the rapidly vanishing air
ship by fire from her anti-aircraft
guns. When the balloon was found
the Edwards was notified by radio
and went to the scene.
Flew 2B Hours AZ Minutes.
The accident occurred shortly after
the arrival of the big airship here after
twenty-five hours and forty-five min
ltes of flying from Montauk Point, 200
niles away. flying which Lieutenant
Commander E, w. Coil and his crew OF
five men characterized as the toughest
and most trying in their experience.
They kept the blmp moving through
day and night, through fog and sun
shine. with wind and against It, in a
desperate attempt to prove to the naval
powers at Washington that their little
dirigible was fit to undertake the cross
Ing of the Atlantic. The blow was a
heavy one to Commander Coil and his
men. who had hastened to the cruiser
Chicago, the base ship, to snatch a few
hours sleep during the wait for the
confidently expected orders from
Washington to proceed across the At
lantic.
We'll. we've lost a chance to be
heroes and the navy has lost a sweet
little ship" Commander Coil remarked
when told that the C-5 had been swept
out to sea.
Despite the strong wind Lieut.. ]. B..
Lawrence, pilot Of the airship, made a
perfect landing at 1O:45 A. M. within
the narrow confines OF the old cricket
held where the blimp was to be moored.
Three hundred men of the cruiser Chi
cago seized her and tied her up to the
three dead men" anchorages which
had been sunk in the field.
Commander Coil and his crew were
hurried away to the Chicago tubilantly
certain that their exploit would win
the copsent OF the Navy Department
for the perilous overseas trip. So
gusty was the wind that the sailors
were kept standing by and hanging on
to the airship.
Fought for Hours to Escape.
The dirigible was wholly unsheltered
from the gale on the level field. I'm
der the pitching and bucking of the
ship her bottom was stripped of can
vas and later her bow plates were torn
away. Tenders were placed about her
to soften her wild oscillations without
much success. The crew clung to the
ropes for hours at a time, their bodies
strained and aching from the inces-
SAINT movement Several Of the guy
ropes snapped when the wind in
creased to forty miles an hour.
1t was finally decided to let the un-

reserved for Serbia, but even II that

throughout the war, should have had
the treaty changed when Russia COL

OF the Pope in the Peace Conference

SAVE YOUR MONEY.

TO help every individual develop
habits OF wise saving which will lend
to his own prosperity and necessarily
to the prosperity Of tho nation. there
has been 0,:abi shed a newly-organiz

The immediate object Of tho work
af the Savings Divis on will be to

securities offered by tho government
such as Thrift Stamps and War
Savings Stamps. tho privilege is not
being res .ricted To wealthy few,

sh re in helping the government meet
its many war obligations and carry
out the plans OF peace.
lf War Savings Stamps cannot be
hougnt outright, extra pennies can
be put into twenty five cent Thrift
STAMPS. When six cen - ,hrSc arc
collected they can he exchanged for
a War Savings Stamp. Both Thr #
Stamps and War Savings Stamps are
obtalnab.c in any post Office, or bank
and at many fac cries and stores

Miners Decline To
Endorse the League

Cleveland, Ohio. Sept. 18.-The
convention of the United Mine Work
ers of America today voted down a
resolution endorsing the league of
nations ard calling upon the senate
to ratify it without amendment and
without further delay. The conven-
ton bv a large majority then voted
to table the entire subject including
motions against the adoption OF the
league of nations as now constituted.
The debate showed a wide range of
opinion for and against, indicating
that the miners were sharply divided
on the question. The motion to table
the subject was carried largely on the
argument that the peace treaty had
now become political Issue on which
a labor convention should not be
called upon to take action.

LONG STRETCHES
OF SAND MARK
SITES OF HOMES
Devastated Area of Corpus
Christi Mass of Wreck
age.

Corpus Christi, Sept. 18.-Through
the storm swept area of Corpus
Christi, the correspondent of The
Associated Press walked today over
wide stretches of sand and shell
where last Saturday stood bay side
homes that had made this city of
$4,000 a resort of national repute.
Fifteen hundred homes stretch
ing along the beach for twenty
three blocks were crushed and hur-
led away or wrecked by the tidal
wave, which reached a depth of
fifteen feet in some places. Over
much of the beach section, not an in
dication of former homes now re-
main, except here and there a bath
tub or part Of brick chimney.
From Star street. where the bust
ness section on the beach terminated,
to Dan Ried street, every one of the
800 beach homes has been destroyed,
most of them beyond trace, while
here and there mourning palm tree,
han@eing low, it's oil begrimed leaves,
marks the spot of some former show
place.
In this section, the bay line has
changed, the water having establish
ed new line VARYING from fifty to
2OO feet inland from the former
position.

CT AIMS PACKERS
CONCEALED FACTS
ABOUT BUSINESS
Alleged Combination to Foil
Trade Commission is
Changed.

Chicago, Sept. 1s.-Evidence that
the "Big Five" packers combined to
conceal facts about their business
methods from the federal trade COM
mission and other governmental in
vestigating bodies was ready for pre-
sentation to the federal grand jury
which is conducting an investigation
of the packers to determine whether
they have violated the Sherman anti
trust act, Isador J. Kresel, special at
torney for the government, announced
today.
Proof, in the form of correspond
ence between packing officials, that
a "coach committee" was formed by
the alleged packers combination to
coach employees who might be called
on to testify before government in
vestigating bodies, Mr.. Kresel said
was held by the government.
"The government will also prove
that the packers actually had agree
ments on prices we are prepared to
show that this condition existed in
every metropolitan center" a state
ment given out by Mr.. Kresel said.
