BRITISH MAY FLY OVER
Giant DirigibIe Likely to Visit U. ).
Before American Plane Can Cross

New York, March 5.-The Aero
Club of America has been thrown in
to state of near-panic by cable dis
matches that the British Navy has a
giant dirigible all ready for the flight
across the Atlantic. But for labor
troubles, according to the cab!egram,
the ship would have been across the
Atlantic and back before this. The
airship is the R-39, instructed by
Armstrong, Whitworth & Co., OF
Glasgow, and it may start the trans
atlantic voyage any day.
"If America does not look sharp
the transatlantic flight will be made
bv the British before we are ready
to launch our own attempts" SAID
Alan R. Hawley, president Of the aero
club.
Officials of the club have just re-
ce;ved a copy of the memorandum is
sued by the British Air Ministry
showing that the development Of the
liphter-than-air machine has been, II
nossible. more striking than the heav-
;er-than-air machine, and that the dl-
ririble type is possibly better fitted
70 make the ocean crossing than the
aeroplane.
Nine airship stations of various
sizes will shortly cease to be in use
bv the British admiralty and will be
turned yer to commercial purposes.
Large rigid airship stations are to
bo established at distances Of 2,00o
TO 5000 miles apart, mainly for trans
oceanic traffic, while the aeroplane
will be used for bringing passengers
and merchandise to these from neigh
boring countries. For example, con-
t;nental airship service is planned TO
r,,, from Lisoon to New York, pas
cancers being taken to Lisbon from
Paris Rome, etc., by aeroplane- lr
+his wav the acroplane will compete
with the train and the airshlp with
the steamship, over which it woulo
have the advantage Of reducing the
average time Of transit by at Least
70 ner cent. AirshipS would also b'
usod fr lining up the railways in sucf
nlaees as Central Africa, where tht
country is difficult both for aeroplane!
and land transprt.

been called "The Brotherhood OF Ma

! Martin Resents Alleged Attempt t.
Bind Him by Parliamentary Tn
derstanding on Amendment-Vir
ginians Show Temper.
Senator Martin, of Virginia, AMI
his colleague and longtime associate
in the management of Democratic
politics in Virginia, Senator Swanson
had a sharp tilt on the floor of the
Senate late Monday night over an as
sumption by the former that the lat
ter had bound him in parliamentary
understanding on Sunday. The mat
ter was adjusted in little while, but
not before both men had showed tenn
per.
Senator Cummins proposed on Sat-
urday an amendment to the railroad
clause in the Deficiency Appropriation
bill, providing that ratemaking pow
er should be restored to the Inter-
state Commerce Commission Senator
Martin, being under the impression
that at the close OF the Saturday
legislative day, which occurred Sun
day afternoon, the Senate took a re-
cess, thereby continuing that legisla-
tive day into this calendar day made
a point Of order against considera-
tion of Senator Cumenins' amendment.
The rules provide that such an amend
ment must go over one legislative day
Senator Cummins expressed deep re-
gret, saying that he had supposed that
the Senate lad adjourned on Sunday.
at the close of the Saturday legisla
i've day.
When he sat down Senator Martin
lrose and heatedly told the Senate
hat he wanted it understood for the
uture that no other Senator had the
light to bind him; that he acted for
himself and made his own agreements
md that hereafter he would recog-
lize no action by another Senator as
,inding on him.
Senator Swanson, his face red,
umped to his feet and said that he
lad not attempted to bind the senior
Senator.
"Ncbody said you did, sir replied
senator Martin, angrily.
"Yes, you have said that I did, in
feet" came back Senator Swanson.
oually angry, his face still red.
Senator Martin again renewed his
tatement that nobody could bind him.
At that juncture Senator Under
rood said something to him in ar
ndertone, and Senator La Toilette.
rho was in charge of the memorial
yercises which ended business or
sunday, explained that there had not
cen a recess, but an adjournment, as
equested by Senators Swanson and
simmons, although Senator Watson,
whom he termed an interloper in Sun
avs exercises, had tried to effect a
ece:s. Senator Simmons also stated
hat the agreement had been for an
adjournment.
That settled matters, and Senator
Iartin Withdrew his objection to
consideration of the Cummins amend
n::,t.
