Giant Blimp Bursts From
It's Moorings Soon After
Effecting Safe Landing
in Newfoundland.
CREW NOT ABOARD
Destroyer Goes in Pursuit
of Big Gas Bag, Which
Drops Into Sea IS
Miles Off Shore.

St. Johns, N. F., May 15.-The
United States navy dirigible C-s,
which escaped from its moorings
this afternoon, dropped into the
sea about IS miles off shore, ac-
cording to a radio message re-
ceived tonight by the cruiser Chi
cago from an unidentified British
steamer.
The steamship said it was
standing by the dirigible. The de-
stroyer Edwards, when went out
in pursuit of the blimp, was noti-
fed by wireless of its position,
and started at once to salvage the
ship.
St. Johns, N. F.. May 15.-Plans
Of the United States navy for 4
transatlantic flight by dirigibls
received a serious jolt today wher
the giant blinp, C-5, burst from its
moorings in a gale and was swept
out to sea soon after it had arrived
from Montauk Point, being in the
air continuously for "a hours and
As minutes.
The destroyer Edwards i'm.
mediately set out in pursuit, with
orders to bring the big gasbae
down with anti-aircraft artillery il
necessary. Even if the Edwards is
able to rescue the blimp before
some serious misfortune befalls : it
it probably will require some time
to repair the damage which may re-
suit from its fall into the ocean.
Fought Gale Six Hours.
A landing crew of 100 men under
the direction of Lieutenant Little
had fought with the gale for control
Of the C-s for six hours before il

Thirty Thousand on Strike as
Result Of Differences Be-
tween Metal Workers
and Employers.

Winnipeg, May 15.-Thxty thou
sand men and women struck today
after metal workers and their en-
ployers had failed to adjust their
differences and tonight the ,city's
transportation system and other
facilities were tied up. The strikers
included city firemen, who were
replaced by emergency men, and the
city employees Of the gas and water
works, which were manned by citi-
zens.
More than so unions joined in the
strike during the day after the first
men were called out at IL a. m. by
the Trade and Labor council.
Although the police voted to
strike they we're ordered by union
lists of the strike committee to re-
main on duty. No violence was re-
ported during the day.
Refuse any Compromise.
Secretary Robertson of the Labor
council tonight said that the strikers
would not return to work until they
obtained all demands.
Train service was not impeded, al
though many shopmen quit work.
The trainmen are not included in
the strike.
The bakers walked out in the
afternoon and the telephone oper-
ators gave notice they would start
"a sympathetic strike Friday.
The police force has remained in
tact, but there is some indication
that they may strike.
The railways and switch yards, so
far. are not greatly hampered. About
5000 employees of the Canadian
Pacific shops at Weston. a suburb,
obeyed the strike order, but it is
announced that the Big Four, cor
combined union engineers, con-
'ductors and switchment," is not in
cluded in the strike.
About $500 Canadian govern
ment employees at Transcona, a
suburb, struck today and came in on
special train.
Telegraph operators at local COM
mission Offices have remained on
duty.
Efforts at Cancellation by Premier
T. c. Norris of the province of
Manitoba and Mayor Charles F.
Gray of Winnipeg failed. Messages
to Canadian Minister of Labor
Robertson, at Ottawa, today
brought the reply that when con-
citation and arbitration were de-
clined "and workers refused to
respect the governing powers of
their organizations" the government
could no nothing.
His message added that it was re-
grettable that metal trades .m-
ployers would not meet with their
employees chosen representatives for
the purpose of discussing griev-
ances, but Mayor Gray supple
mented his messages of last night
with the information that the en-
ployers would agree to arbitration
which the men had declared unac-
ceptable. ~

Gov. HARRISON
DIVORCED and
WEDS SAME DAY
Eighteen Year Old Student
Becomes Bride of Phil
ippine Executive
at Chicago.

Chicago, May 15.-Francis Bur
ton Harrison, IS years old, gov
ernor-general of the PHILIPPINE is
lands, and Miss Elizabeth Wrent-
more, 18 years old, student
of the University of California al
Berkeley, Cal, were married at $50
o'clock this afternoon here. The
Rev. Johnston Mayors, pastor OF
the Emmanuel Baptist church, Of
ficiated. The ring ceremony was
used. Only small party OF guests
was in attendance.
Opposed BY Brides Mother.
The marriage was the elimination
of romance said to have begun
IL year ago when the governor-gen-
eral met the present Mrs. Harrison
at a dance at the palace in Manila
Miss Wrentmore had been a student
at the University of Washington and
year ago went to the University
of California. She is a daughter OF
Professor Wrentmore, dean of the
college Of Manila.
Mrs. Wrentmore, at the time the
engagement was announced in New
York, several months ago, said she
would not give her consent to her
daughters marriage to the governor
general, who will be 46 years old
in December. His age, she said, was
the only bar. But the daughter de-
clared she was of legal age and
loved the governor-general and
would marry him.
Another obstacle, more recent
one, was a diphtheria quarantine at
the Wrentmore home in Berkeley.
Miss Wrentmore, was said by the
Berkeley, authorities to have disre-
garded the quarantine when she left
short time ago. The health de-
partment here found that the young
woman was safely removed from any
danger of contagion and arrange
ments for the wedding were hastily
begun yesterday.
Mrs. Wrentmore, the brides
nj. cher, was called suddenly back to
Manila on May a. Today she cabled
her congratulation to the governor
general and Mrs. Harrison.
Obtains Divorce.
There was third obstacle, Mrs.
Mabel Judson Harrison, the COVER
nor-generaps second wife, today in
San Diego, CAL, obtained her final
decree of divorce. With that bar
surmounted, final details for the
ceremony were arranged at once.
Mr.. Harrison's first wife was Mary
Crocker of San Francisco, who died
in 1905.
+ Mr.. and Mrs. Harrison are ex-
pected to start tomorrow for Wash
ington to visit his mother, Mrs. Con-
stance Cary Harrison, author. They
will motor through New England on
their honeymoon trip.
The governor-general and Mrs.
Harrison plan to sail June IL for
Manila.

received into the Omaha Auto club
last night at membership smoker

stolen in Omaha since the beginning

the Omaha Auto club insignia have
been taken and three of these re-

! New York Tribune: "If clothes

much to recommend it" remarked
John Leslie Frazier, Oklahoma City
oil magnate, as he registered at Hotel
Majestic yesterday. Take Abraham
Lincoln, for instance; he wore his
pants patched and he was consider
able man"
Mr. Frazier, wearing patches on
his coat and trousers, delivered him
self of this explanation for the benefit
of an astonished room clerk and sew
eral tittering bellhops. He is founder
of the Patched Clothes league OF
Oklahoma and has a large following
among his associates IN all walks of
the oil industry there.
"a few years ago" he said, "a
patch was the badge Of poverty. Now
it is badge Of honor. Our aim is
to conserve cloth and force down the
cost of wearing apparel"
