ON ATRSHIp VICTIMS
Formally Necessary 70 Issue
Burial Certificates.
BIZ the Associated Press

HULL. Aug. 2e.-As the ZR-2 salvag-
ers We're continuing their work to-day,
another brief chapter in the tragedy was
written when the Coroners inquest on
the bodies OF Lieut. Marcus II. Esterly
of Washington. ID. c.; Lieut.. Charles G.
Little of Newburyport. Mass, and Lieut.
Il, S. Montague of the British personnel
was opened. The session, however, was
a brief one and after the taking OF some
evidence adjournment was taken until
October 4. The formality enabled the
Coroner to issue burial certificates so
that the bodies could be taken away.
The American air force was repre-
sented by Lieut. John II Lawrence,
Joseph B. Anderson and Wiliiam r. Tay-
lor. A number of British officers We're
present. John II. Grout. the American
consul at Hull, was present as an OBJ
server.
vice-Coroner Jackson. who presided
over the inquest in the quaint old Guild
hall, opened with an expression OF SYM
pathy on behalf OF the court and city to
the relatives OF the dead in America
and England. The proceedings were over
very quickly. as the jury had already
viewed the flower covered bodies Of
Lieut.. Little in the infirmary and of
Lieut. Esterly and Montague in the NOR
tuary.
Lieut. Taylor identified the two Ameri-
cans, speaking in q voice which shook
with emotion. a British air officer iden-
tfledl Lieut. Montague.
An interesting point, brought out
rather casually, was that the airship
had never been officially named ZR-2,
but was still the R-3S. The Coroner,
for the purpose Of record asked Vice
Admiral a. v. Vivian Of the British
air service about this and he replied
that she was the R-3s, 70 which Lieut.
Taylor, who was In tn ebox, nodded

"our position is supported by ma

will grant US a rehearing, as we want

try to prove the sincerity OF our pur-

Gen Atterbury referred to addresses
made by employees at closed meeting
held last Monday between employee
representatives. and the management,
when It was pointed out by the men who
voted to those who did not, that ap-
proxilnately $4,000 men had cast ballots
and entered into agreements with the
company, while about $4,000 men Of the
shops crafts and $1,000 OF the Brother

II do not believe the shopmen will
strike, for there Is so little for which TO
strike" said Gen Atterbury. Certainly
not for wages, for they are settled by
the Railroad Labor Board And IL
working conditions are deemed unfair,
they can go TO the same board and have
them changed. 50 why should they
striker"
Touching on general conditions the
railroad executive said the general rail-
road situation is improving.
"Rates must drop" he said. but r
can't say how long 1t will take. 1t took
fifteen years after the civil war, but Il

Grain and perishable stuffs are be-

counted for the renewed activity In our
