the top and tapering toward the
bottom, ending in a wooden walk
10 inches in width. The gasolene
tank, welded and of drawn steel,
was rs feet long, 10 feet in
diameter, and divided into ten COM
partments. Each compartment con-
tanned about 1875 gallons of gaso-
lene.
Storage batteries, fed by the en-
gines of the craft, provided current
for electric lights and complete
telephone system. A gasolene stove
was installed for cooking purposes.
Largely for experimental pur-
poses-Mr. Wellman's trip was to
be in the interest of science-an
equilbrator, or stabilizer, was at
tached to4the craft. 1t eventually
proved the undoing of the venture,
but to the thousands who viewed
it as the ship rested twenty feet in
the air for more than a month it
was one of the most absorbing
features.
It's purpose was automatically to
regulate the upward and downward
course Of the ship. 1t was composed
of thirty hollow steel cylinders con-
nected with each other on a uni
versal joint, giving it the greatest
Aexibility. When the sun heated
the gas, the theorists contended, the
ship would have tendency to
ascend. But the stabilizer, normally
floating on the surface of the sea,
would object to the ride in the air
and hold the plane to respectable
level. Incidentally, the cylinders of
the equilibrator were filled with a
reserve supply Of gasolene, making
the total gas supply of the craft
1900 gallons.
The Engines
The engines were not, quite
naturally, of as vital Importance as
they are to the planes now daring
the journey. They were three in
number, two eight horsepower af-
fairs and one ten horsepower SER
vice engine. The four propellers
were placed one on each side of each
engine. =l~+s

Deny Charges That
LabOrers in Hawaii
Being Oppressed

Honolulu, T. H., Sept. 4-(Corres-
pondence of The Associated Press).-
Charges that Porto Rican laborers on
Hawaiian plantations were oppressed
and denied equal justice, made in a
communication signed by number of
Porto Ricans and placed before the
Porto Rican legislature on March s.,
1919, are declared by R. D. Mead, Sec
rotary Of the Hawaiian Sugar Plant
er's association, to be without the
slightest foundation.
Mr.. Mead said there is no discrim-
ination against Porto Ricans, that
their living conditions on the planta-
ton are not as described in the pro-
test and that, in his opinion, ',the
whole thing was gotten up by agita-
tors in Honolulu headed by dis
gruntled explanation laborer."
The Porto Rican legislature de-
manded an investigation, and it has
been made under the direction of At
torney General Harry Irwin of Hawaii,
with the assistance Of the territorial
health board. A report will soon be
made to Governor C. ]. Mccarthy for
communication to Porto Rico.

Five Producers to
Every Dry Hole in
Months Drilling

A new high record for compilations
now production and work under way
was attained in the country's oil
fields in August, according to the
latest compilation of the coil City
Derrick"
at so far exceeds any past report
that it makes them seem small in
comparison and excites wonder at
the growth of the business" COM
ments this publication. "In each detail
there is an increase except in the item
of dry holes and gas wells, where the
producer could afford decrease"
Compilations for all fields, covered
by the Derrick's report, made grand
total of 8.727 an increase of 104.
Production credited to new producers
was 34O,146 barrels, gain Of 8,341
barrels over July, which was the
former high record. North Texas led
in the amount of new production,
with Kansas and Louisiana also re-
porting heavy gains.
The largest decrease was reported
from the Gulf coast field with fall
ing off of 25,572 barrels. August, it
was stated, was fairly favorable to
operations with the exception OF
drouth in Kentucky and heavy rains
in Northern Texas.
Included in the August compile
tions," says the Derrick, "were $50
dry holes and 173 gas wells, there
being a decrease of IS and II respec-
lively. None of the large divisions had
as. many failures as in the previous
month. Oklahoma reported the great
O07 hut %hsc 81
less than in July. The Gulf coast had
nearly so per cent of failures in a
smaller total of competitions. The
smallest number of five for any divis-
ion was reported from Wyoming.
"Subtracting the failures and gas
wells from the total competitions
leave 1894 productive oil producers
The average of the productive wells
in August was ITO 1-2 barrels, and in
July 1870 barrels.
"The new work under way makes
another large gain, and a new high
record. The total rigs and wells drill.
Ting at the close of the month was g..
1918 the increase over July being
653. The increase was common to all
fields, as the only divisions to show q
decrease were Illinois. Oklahoma and
Gulf coast. and the change was not
large in either, and due more to local
conditions than any other cause. The
large increase came from north
west Texas of ATS. Kentucky reported
81 more than Louisiana added SO.
"A year ago the total new work
was $500 or $500 less than at pres
ent It is worthy of note that this in
crease is almost equal to the opera
tions in northwest Texas at present
as a year ago this division reported
only 551 rigs and drilling wells"
