the coroner declared today in sumnut--
king testimony given at :he inquest.
Weakness in the transverse girders
had been shown in tests In May, sid
the coroner. He based his declarations
upon evidence introduced from experts.
On July IT there was a long flight.
There was buckling of the main lon.
gttudinal girder and also girder on
the port side. But the safety OF the
dirigible was not affected at that time.
for the airship landed safely at How
den.
The inquest was conducted by CO...
oner T. c. Jackson, who had con.
Quoted the preliminary inquiry at the
time of the disaster. Az the outset
he said that the problem TO be de-
termined was whether any criminal
negligence had been shown and 10
inquire what precautions should be
taken to safeguard against such acci.
dents In the future.
Coroner Jackson summarized the
written reports that had been turned
in to him by official investigators.
These showed that every one con.
nected with the z r. Tor the R-3S
as 1t was known before the British
negotiated the sale of the dirigible
to the United States) had the greatest
confidence in the air worthiness Of the
design.
Coroner Jackson, summarizing the
testimony in hand, said that the
strained girders had been partly re.
placed and strengthened and on June
l6, when a trial flight was made,
stood a more severe test than mad
been made in the previous month.
The Z.R disaster occurred August
28 and twenty-seven British and six.
teen American airInen lost their lives.

The inquest failed to establish defi-
nitely the cause Of the disaster. The
first verdict. in the case of Lieu.
tenant Little, one of the victims, was
that he came to his death by acci.

upon the real cause Of the ZR.2s

Invitations will 60 forward to-
day to Belgium, The Netherlands,
and Portugal to participate in the
forthcoming armament and far
Eastern conference, all Of the
other participating powers having
agreed to their inclusion.
The participation of these three
countries in the November confer
ence will be limited to that part
relating to the settlement of Pa
cific and far Eastern problems,
none of them having either armies
or navies of sufficient size and i'm
portance to merit their inclusion
in the armament discussion.
U. 8. Backed Small Nations.
The countries invited today owe
their participation directly to the
United States. Even though small,
each of them has extensive holdings
in the Far East. and Secretary Of
State Hughes gave Q ready ear to
the representations which their rep
resentatives made after the invita-
tioHs nay Ueei uispaSSheu W 1ho ho
jor powers.
Secretary Hughes agreed to pro.
pose in the name Of the United
States that they be included. This
was done several weeks ago. Japan
and France quickly responded. Civ
ing their consent. ITALY. though
slower. interposed no objection. and
the last nation to assent to the pro-
posal was Great Britain

States, and four minor powers, China
Belgium. Portugal and The Neither
lands, will now constitute the gather
ing on armistice day and officials
said today the book is closed =
No further invitations will be dis
patched, as the nine powers consti-
tute all that have either armaments
or interests in the Pacific that are
important.
The Invitations to be dispatched to
the Belgian. Portuguese and Dutch
governments will be in substance the
same as that dispatched to China. In
the Chinese invitation no mention
was made OF armaments. the docu-
ment merely bidding the Chinese
government to a conference to settle
certain problems and issues arising
in the Pacific and Far East.
The program for the conference as
originally proposed by Secretary Of
State Hughes remains unchanged in
any material aspect.
Discuss Army Question.
In this connection, IL was stated Of.
ficially that this Government has no
knowledge Of any movement afoot for
striking out land armament" as one
of the subjects to be considered.
So far as this government Is con-
cerned, II was stated, the matter Of
limiting armies will be taken up con-
currently with the matter Of limiting
navies, and the two problems will be
dealt with on the same general basis.
Opposition to the conference taking
up Limitation of land armament has
come principally from the European
press, which has been filed with dire
predictions of what will happen II the
conference becomes embroiled with
armies instead of navies.

international News Service.

NEW YORK, Oct. 4.--The Rookie
feller family stood as witness today
to prove the age-old maxim that
money does not always bring happi-
ness.
First it was the Stillman case
the Stillmans being related by mar
riage to the Rockefeller money mon
archs. Anne Stillman, sister Of
James, the banker who is suing his
wife, married Percy Rockefeller.
Now it is the McCormicks-Mrs.
Harold F. Mccormick, the wife Of
the head of the International Har-
vester Company, being the daughter
Of John D. Rockefeller, ST. The
family life Of the McCormicks has
suffered distinct jar. o..
'Incompatibility." .fn..
But while there were many in.
vidious statements linking the names
Of grand opera singers with the rift
in the, Mccormick family lutte. those
familiar with the personalities OF the
two Mccormick principals say >stfch
insinuations have, as the Mikado
play goes, nothing to do with the
case" Or very little.
The McCormicks are living apart
because Of mental incompatibility.
Mrs. Mccormick is an ardent
psyche analyst"
Meanwhile there is speculation
whether the mental incompatibility
VIII deepen to such an extent that
tn ?McC living apart
In their respective Chicago homes
might split another great fortune,
for when the daughter of John d.
welded the harvester firms chief
owner, two Of the greatest American
fortunes were united.
Art VS.. Psychology.
Psychology has clashed with music
In the Mccormick household and now
there are two households. and in that
presided over by Mrs. Mccormick on
fashionable Lakeshore drive, Chicago,
psychology is dominant. Mrs. McCor.
mick recently returned from Europe,
where for eight years she had studied
psychology under its archpriests-
Jung, Freud, Forel and others.
As Mrs. Mccormick deepened her
explorations in psychic theory her
husband found solace in the sweet
strains of grand opera singers, even
finding a music protege in Nine.
Gamma Waiska, who until five years
ago was an unknown Polish warbler.
To further her interest In
psychology, Mrs. Mccormick fetched
with her from Zurich, Switzerland,
DR.. Josef Hartmann. a co.worker
with Jung, who will aid her in estab.
fishing an American school of psyche
analysis. Nine. Moissi, who also &C
colV)anied Mrs. Mccormick from
Zurich. will be on the staff of the
school.
It was due to Harold McCormicx's q
influence that Mary Garden became
head of the Chicago Grand Opeara
Company and was provided with
sufficient money to stage elaborate
productions. Mr.. Mccormick also
is said TO have made possible the

That Mrs. Mccormick appeared

How much useful work could
be done In this world IL the six
million men now parading up
and down, doing nothing, wait
ing to kill, were equally we'll
trsined, well fed, well clothed,
well taken care of, and put at
useful work! How quickly they
would do away with deserts and
swamps and make this earth
what il ought to be. Billions
for war, not cent for civiliza-
ton, Is the revised version.
Our Jewish fellow-citizens,
now celebrating their New Year,
calculate, enthusiastically, that
the earth Is 6,682 years old.
n Christians figure It out in
about the same way. It Is agreed
in certain circles that the word
ssyear" in the original writing
did not mean 365 days. For
,nerly you were told the exact day
and the hour Of the day on which
the Creation started. That detail
Is now usually not included. The
English scientists say this earth
Is about eight thousand million
wears old. All the greater should
be our respect for its Creator,
balancing It around the sun for
eighty million centuries without
q collision or q slip Of any kind.
