CONGRESS READY TO
RECESS FOR 30 DAYS
Numerous Emergency Matters Crowd Lawmakers-AntBeer Bill
Causing Much Annoyance Leaders Anxious Get Out of Way

Washington, Aug. "a Congress
was expected, barring unforeseen de-
velopments, to recess tonight for
thirty days. Both the senate and the
house, when they met at 10 o'clock
today were confronted with a number
of miscellaneous matters which it was
the aim of leaders to dispose of be-
fore declaring a recess but it was
indicated that if the slate was not
wiped clean the long anticipated va
cation would not be deferred.
The senate upon reconvening re-
sumed debate on the anti-beer bill
while the house waited principally for
reports from the conferees on different
bills. Among the looked-for confer.
ence reports were the shipping board
deficiency bill of S4S,5O0, 900 and the
agricultural credits mea sure. which
was deadlocked last night. In addi-
tion the senate hoped to complete ac-
tion on extending the dye embargo
provision of the emergency tariff to

January l, next, and possibly to vote
on extension of the emergency tariff
itself to that date.
Indications when the senate met to-
day were that the anti-beer bill would
be shelved until fall. The deadlock
on the agricultural credits bill, how
ever, was regarded with concern by
leaders in both houses because of the
desire for its immediate passage The
chief difficulty is house objections to
the senate provision authorizing the
war finance corporation to make eX-
ports loans to European associations.
the house insisting that these should
be made to Americans only. Senate
and house leaders took 4 hand in the
situation late last night but with what
result is not indicated.
Representative Mann. Republican,
Illinois, in this connection, issued a
warning to his colleagues that their
chances of getting away on a recess
must depend upon this conference"

REWARDS ARE
RECOMMENDED
In VERDICT
Coroner's Jury Wants State and
County To Offer Rewards for
Murderers of McCollum

The coroner's jury in the case of
the murder of l.. w. McCollum Sat
urday night. met again this morning
in the Office of Judge Allen, coroner. :.
After waiting over an hour for the
return of Frank McCollum, son of
the murdered man. who was out
working on the case, the jury held a
short session. Beside the six men on
the jury, there were present the three
sons of Mr.. McCollum, representa-
tives of the press and Deputy Sheriff
John Purvis.
Frank McCollum stated that, in his
opinion. since the evidence is still
value. it would be better not to make
it public at this time. Judge Allen
and Deputy Purvis also expressed the
opinion that if the evidence was not
sufficiently conclusive to warrant an
arrest, it would be better that it
should be taken up only with the Of
ticers. The jury therefore agreed on
verdict of death from gunshot
wound inflicted by unknown parties,
and the following recommendation
was embodied in the report: I'VE
recommend to the honorable county
commissioners that they offer a re-
ward and request the governor of the
state of Florida to also offer a reward
for the apprehension of the parties
guilty of this crime"
The report was signed by j. d.
Allen as coroner and the six jurors,
as follows: M. L. Bradley, foreman; !;
NJ l.. Brown, S. M. Owens, w. L..
Austin, p. A. Whiting, l., w. Bloom.
The three Lakeland sons of the mur.
dered man are James G. B. McCol-
lum. w. c. McCollum and Frank Nc
Collum. They all express a firm de-
termination not to let the matter rest
until justice has been meted to the
assassins. Frank McCollum states that
he believes that they are on the right
track and that the identity of the
cowardly murders will eventually be

Was Brown From Course

London, Aug. "a Reports received
by the air ministry state that the
dirigible ZR-2, which was blown from
her course by a heavy storm which
ragged over the east coast of England
early this morning was safe off How
den at o'clock. The weather at Pull
ham was improving hourly, and it
was expected that the airship would
sail for that place today, landing this
afternoon or evening. The perfection
of devices for communicating weather
conditions between ground stations
and the ZR-2 probably saved the big
airship from disastrous fight
with the storm, the air ministry re-
ported.
The final trial flight of the dirigible
prior to being handed over to her
American navigators is developing
unexpected and critical tests of speed,
endurance, reliability and wireless
signalling, particularly relative to the
weather are being made. Unusual
speed tests were made last night
when after a days cruise over the east
coast and North Sea. ZR-2 approached
Pulham. The craft was notified at IL
o'clock this morning that a severe
thunderstorm was occurring directly
over the landing station, and she
bore away from the threatening at
mospheric disturbances.
Before the ZR-2 fed before the
storm she sent wireless dispatch
that she would mot attempt to land
at Pulham. The tempest was moving
toward the northwest, while the air.
ship took northerly course toward
Howden, reporting this morning that
she had OUTRAGED the elements and
had gained safety.
The trial trip of the ZR.2. which was
intended to last but twelve hours al.
ready has lasted thirty, and it may
be a forty-hour trip before she lands
at Pulham. This would be approx.
mately half the time she is expected
to take to cross the Atlantic.

Equipment and Conveniences

Washington, Aug. 24.-The ZR-2
represented the last word in dirigible
equipment Living conditions on
board the leviathan of the air were
made more comfortable than on the
big R-34, the dirigible costing more
than a million dollars, with which a
British crew crossed the Atlantic Iii
1919.
Seen in flight the ZR-2 closely re-
sembled her sister ship, the R-34, but
her improvements were concealed
amid a bewildering confusion of
aluminium girders, rows fof gasoline
and water tanks, acres of fabric gas
baetAnd miscellany of guy wires,
conifnd valves, pipes, swivels and
Hinges.
A telephone system connected up
the entire ship so that Commander
Maxfeld, standing at the wheel in his
cabin, had every part under his direct
and immediate control. Comfortable
hunks were provided for the off-shift
of the 80 officers and men, instead of
hammocks, as provided on the R-34
Warm meals were also made possible
Z by a system of cooking over engine
exhaust heat.
Electric lights were freely provided
and the ZR-2 had been equipped with
device to enable her to anchor at
ia Ineoring mast, and replenish her
gas, oil, water and fuel containers
through huge feed pipes. In addition
to the foregoing equipment, the ZR-2
was built to carry the biggest arma-
ment of a dreadnaught of the air, II
Lewis guns, a one-pound automatic
gun, four bombs of $40 pounds each
and eight bombs of 230 pounds each.
