LONDON, July 12-Commander
Scott of the R-34 acknowledged this
afternoon receipt of instructions from
the Air Ministry directing him to land
at Pulham, instead of trying to go
back to the starting point at East For
tune, Scotland. The change was de-
termined on because of unsettled
weather in Scotland
Though alarmed by the heavy rain
that has been falling here all day and
the attendant fog which rising winds
have blown in from the sea, the Air
Ministry is rather anxious for the
safety Of the dirigible Fortunately
the direction Of the wind still favors
the R-34, and she is making good
progress. Following the breakdown Of
one Of her engines. two reserve engines
in the rear of the ship were put into
use, Commander Scott reported, and
although the dirigible is thus handi-
capped, the Air Ministry is confident
that it's skipper will bring it safely in.
to port.
The plan for q welcome home ceie-
bration in London when it was ex-
pected that the dirigibie would en-
circle the city amid the glare of
sesrchlights, has been abandoned,
owing to the lateness of the probable
hour of arrival.
The R-33 had planned to meet her
sister ship out at sea and escort her
back, but owing to the unsettled
weather conditions she, remained in
her shed.
If repairs on the engines Of the
R-34 can be completed in time, It is
expected now that the dirigible will
be He'd upon to take part in the
peace manoeuvres planned for next
Saturday. A public reception for the

Democrats Relieved

AS a result tnefc is great relleI III
Democratic political circles. National
committeeman and Democratic lea1ers
in many parts OF the country tele
phoned or telegraphed the White
friends in Washington to know if it
were true that the President had
snubbed Mr.. Hitchcock and deposed
him as leader.
The President himself telephoned
Senator Swanson urging the issuance Of
a statement, and approved the one IS
sued by the Virginia Senator after it
had been read to him over the tele-
phone The President also requested
that this statement be telegraphed at
once to Senator Hitchcock
Friends of the Nebraska Senator
we're jubilant to-day over the results
Mr.. Hitchcock was hurt by being
ignored by the President. They point
especially to the part of the statement
issued by Sena tor Swanson, which was
not put in quotation marks, but which
was approved by the President. that
the President had expressed to Senator
Swanson recently great admiration for
the work done by Senator Hitchcock
in connection with the ratification of
the treaty, including the covenant of
the league of nations"
This is the first time, several of the
Nebraska Senator's friends pointed out,
that President Wilson has gone any
thing like this far in approving the
action of any Senator. They said they
confidently expected now that on the
return of Mr. Hitchcock to Washington,
Monday morning, he would be sum-
moned to the White House and con-
suited by the President, as, in their
opinion, should have been done before
the President addressed the Senate.
Swanson's Statement
Senator Swanson's statement reads:
Regarding the report being circu-
lated that he (Senator Swanson) was
in charge of the ratification Of the
treaty pending in the Senate, Senator
Swanson says:
"'The report is entirely a mis-
take; Senator Hitchcock, as Demo-
cratic leader, in the absence of SEN
ator Martin, and as ranking Demo
cratic member of the Committee on
Foreign Relations, has been in
charge, and will continue in charge
of the ratification of the treaty while
pending in the Senate. Senator
Hitchcock has made a magnificent
fight, and we feel sure will bring it
to satisfactory and successful
conclusion.'
Senator Swanson states that
neither the President nor any one
else has ever made the slightest sug-
gestion to him to take charge of the
treaty; that the relations existing
between Senator Hitchcock and the
President are most cordial and
friendly; that he recently heard the
President express great admiration
for the splendid work done by Sem
ator Hitchcock in connection with
the ratification of the treaty, includ-
ing the covenant Of the league of
nations. He further states that he
yesterday to many newspaper men
when his attention was called to
the rumor."

The statement by Secretary Tumulty
was as follows:
"The stories appearing in the morn

tween the President and Senator
Hitchcock are without the slightest
foundation. There has been no con-

cHlTlNA TO FAIRBANKS
 IN FOUR DAYS TRAVEL

The first trip of the Burgess-Kars- tens stage line from Chitina to Fair banks, with ten passengers, was made in four days.
 The time made is worthy of special mention inasmuch as about sixty miles of the trail was covered by walking owing to the impossible con- dition with a heavy load. The pas sengers enjoyed this phase of the trip as 1t relieved the monotony of auto riding and allowed them to take the kinks out of their limbs. As soon as the one bad stretch in the road is pas sable much better time will be made as the operators of the stage line are competent in all respects to negotiate the trail and deliver their passengers on scheduled time to their destina. tion.

BERINC RIVER COAL SHOWING
 IS IMPROVING

Falcon Joslin, president of the Der ing River Coal Company, has returned from trip of inspection to Katalla and he feels very much encouraged over the results of the development work being done there.
 Mir. Joslin said: Development work on the coal is going ahead. Our prin- cipal work is driving rock tunnel into the mountain side north of Car bon creek to cross cut ten coal veins which outcrop along the face of the ridge. This tunnel is now in over 300 feet It has cut several small seams of coal and some larger ones, at least one of which we hope will prove to be workable. We have not drifted on any of them as yet. We are still driv- ing on this rock tunnel and hope to cut good vein within the next 100 feet or so.
 "A few days ago we cut into a small seam of dirty coal and slate with g lot of water. There was lot of caving which delayed us some, but we are past that trouble now and going ahead again. We have been short of power and are now moving up another boiler from Canoe landing. This is quite job on the soft dirt road. We have 500 feet or more of other pros- pect tunnel and another vein which we call vein 16.. This is very prom ising vein of coal. The quality of the coal sems to be excellent, though no doubt much of 1t will have to be washed before marketing. It is good steaming and coking coal. Our prob lem is to develop enough of it to make a commercial mine. It also re.

mains to be proved whether we can mine, transport and market it at a cost that will enable us to meet the competition of oil and other coals. We expect to tram out little coal this summer for tests.
 Another oil We'll Struck
 Work at the oil wells is also going ahead. We got little oil in our we'll No. 13 at 635 feet which has in creased as we go down. We are now a little over 800 feet down and the well appears to be making about 25 bar. rels per day, though it is very diff cult to get an accurate test while the drilling is going on and until the production has become settled It is evidently going to be as good as any well we have and perhaps better Though the production is small we feel encouraged because it indicates that we are drilling in the right di. rection. This well is several hundred feet up the mountain side and we will continue drilling on that line"
