HULL England, Aug. 24-Res-
idents of Hull who watched the
dirigible ZR-2 burst into flames
above the city were confident to-
night that Captain Wann, the
pilot, and his men, deliberately
had sacrificed what little chance
most Of them had for life to save
the city from disaster. When the
flames were first seen, watchers
said, it appeared that the ship
inevitably would plunge into the
dense business district. But the
ship swerved as it plunged toward
the ground and dropped into the
river just clear of the buildings.
1t was this, the citizens believe,
that accounted for the fact that
only two parachutes were launch
ed. The crew were not thinking
Of their own safety so much as of
saving the civilians below.

Collapse of Big
Craft Laid to
Hull Defects
Experts Here Express View
That ZR-2 Structurally
Was Not All She Ought
To Be for Long Voyage

The explosion which wrecked the
ZR2 and sent the craft down into the
River Humber a flaming mass of metal
and fabric apparently happened while
she was making her first full speed
tests. The disaster, according to ex-
perts here. undoubtedly was due to
serious structural defects which caused
of full speed flying.
From the very moment the giant air
ship was completed there were per
sistent rumors that her hull structure
was defective. These rumors were
denied both by the British and Amer
lean authorities, but were frankly ad-
mitted by the builders OF the ZR-2.
] he latter asserted positively that they
would not turn the new airship over to
her American crew until these defects
if it meant that the transatlantic fight
had to be postponed until next year
Defects Noted
Prior to her final flight the zR-2
had made three short trial journeys.
On each Of them serious defects were
observed Immediately after all of the
cIalJS SIX engines were advanced 10
full speed
On her first trial flight the ZR-2 was
compelled to descend before her sched-
uled time because control wires loos-
ened quickly under half-speed flying
On the second flight it was discovered
the new type of balanced rudders were
too large, and that flight had to be
shortened in order that the rudder sur
faces could be reduced.
The third trial flight disclosed for
the first time that the giant hull was
structurally defective On this flight
the airship attained 1peed of fifty
knots for the first time. This speed
was ten knots less than the contract
cruising speed. Nevertheless, even at
this reduced speed the strain was so
great that some of the vessels ribs
weakened and gave way. Only four Of
the SIX engines were running at the
time the weaknesses developed
1t was after this fight that the ZR-2
was taken back to Howden and exten-
siye repairs made with a view to
strengthening the hull 1t was then
that rumors began to filter through to
this country. In the mean time re-
pairs and changes had been made and

Anti-Beer Bill
Fails to Pass
Before Recess
Facing Filibuster in Senate.
Prohibition Leaders Sur
render, After a Bitter
Fight for Many Hours

From The Tribune's WASHINGTON Bureau
WASHINGTON, Aug. 24-Dry leaders,
seeking TO drive the beer bill through
the Senate prior to the recess of Con-
gress, were defeated tonight.
The dry chiefs, faced by flibuster
in the Senate, threw up their hands at
10 O'Clock when the House, by a close
vote, adopted the resolution already
approved by the Senate, for a four
weeks recess, beginning at midnight.
Shortly after the House voted for the
recess the President went to the Capt.
tol to sign bills. Both houses ad-
Journed few minutes before midnight.
The decision Of the House to halt its
Legislative activities for a month made
it clear to all that the opposition to
the beer bill would De able with ease
to talk it to death, and Wayne B.
Saloon League, issued statement in
which he said that while passage Of tho
bill before the recess had been pre-
vented by filibuster it would be
passed following the recess On the
other hand, opponents of the bill said
they would be able to hold it up indef-
nitely when the recess was over
Whether the Treasury Department
will now issue the beer and wine regu-
lations is not yet officially indicated.
Senator Sterling, in charge of the
bill, persisted all through the morning,
afternoon and until late tonight in
keeping the conference report before
the Senate, yielding occasi onally for
conference reports on important bills
or for an executive session. He refused
to give way for consideration Of the
resolution to extend the dye embargo
when urged to do so in the morning
and again in the afternoon.
The feature Of the debate on the
beer bill was prolonged speech by
Senator Reed, who, with few inter
aftcrnoon and early evening. He made
against the beer bill and especially
against the compromise amendment as
TO searches. Early in the evening he
sent out for sandwiches and munched d
food while having documents read from
the desk of the clerks.
In a sharp wrangle between Senators
Reed and McKellar Senator Reed
charged Mcclellan, who is a dry, with
being willing 10 sacrifice the consti
tuition. Senator McKellar angrily re-
tortcd this was untrue" and he
would declare 1t untrue anywhere. Ihc
exchange caused brief excitement, but
passed without serious consequences.
After Senator Reed had finished his
argument, Senator Stanley took the
floor and held it for about three hours
Seeing passage OF the bill was impos-
sible, Senator Sterling about 1890
r. IN. asked that the beer bill be laid
aside to allow the resolution to extend
the dye embargo to come up. This vlr-
tually was recognition Of the fact the
bill was hopelcssly blocked.

the correspondent of The Daily Mail at
Hull after the disaster, said:
Il was seated in the tail of the ZR-o.
She first flew over the North Sea and
toward Pulham. She was in perfect
flying condition until :35 O'Clock this
evening, at which time the controls
on the ship were being tested while
the vessel was proceeding at high
speed.
Il assume that a girder broke amid
ships. After a few short shocks the
ship began to fall and the petrol tank
exploded. ! saw smoke afterward up
forward about the ship, which began
to fall, nose downward, toward tho
Humber.
Immediately after the explosion

Shortly afterward, with two other per-
sons, / was picked up from the water

Ernest Davies, one of the British
members Of the crew OF the ZR-2 who
was saved, in an interview with The
London Times at Hull, said:
"We had terrible time. 1t was all
over in a moment. The petrol tanks
exploded and volumes Of smoke and
fire issued from the ship.
"Some Of the men Jumped, but I
stuck to the ship and went down with
the stern section, which struck a sand
bank from which was rescued.
"Somc Of the poor fellows had no
chance whatever, especially those in

London Times from Hull. He was bad
ly cut about the head and bleeding
profusely, but was conscious. At a
late hour he was reported as doing
we'll at the hospital.
No sign Of the wreck was visible
late Wednesday evening. Two bodies
which we're landed were completely
unrecognizable, owing TO burns.
The dispatch adds that it was ru-
mored one parachute from the airship
landed on the Lincolnshire side of the
river, but that the report was without
confirmation.
The Hull District naval intelligence
officer IN describing the accident said:
"When the airship first appeared, it
was rather misty, but she was easily
discernible, flying about 1000 feet up.
The noise of her engines was clearly
audible and everything seemed to be
going smoothly
Suddenly a terrific explosion was
heard. The vessel split its back ard
broke in two. A majority Of the crew
were blown to pieces. and for hours
afterward parts Of their bodies were
visible floating in the river"

out ne was seriously injured and is
IN critical condition.
The end Of the ZR-2 was spec-
tacular and dramatic, and struck
panic into the people of Hull who
were watching the tragedy from
the streets and expected the burn
ing hulk to hurtle into the center
of the city.
Citizens Seek Cover
The dirigible was sailing steadily
and easily over Hull, a beautiful
sight in the bright sunlight, when.
with appalling suddenness, a huge
cloud of smoke cnveloped her. Al
most instantly the stern sagged and
then she burst into flames.
The thousands Of Hull citizens
below who were watching the ZR-2
gracefully circling over the town
dashed madly for shelter. 1t was
evident disaster had happened and
for moment it seemed certain that
the ship would plunge into the heart
of the business quarter.
Captain Wann, however, was
struggling with the wreck of his
craft to avert peril to the city.
Watchers near the river, seeing that
the Captains efforts would bring
the ship down in the stream, rushed
to Victoria Pier.
The ZR-2 gathered momentum as
it neared the river and plunged into
the water
A seething curtain Of flame and
dense blue smoke extending for hun
dreds Of feet along the water ob-
scured the spectacle from the watch
ers. Immediately scores Of tugs, and
smaller boats put out to pick up the
survivors, but because Of their fear
that the huge envelope of the ZR-2,
which next collapsed, would topple
down upon them, they could no moth
ing except rescue men who had
dropped, clinging to parachutes,
some distance clear Of the wreck.
Three members of the crew who had
descended on one parachute made a
safe landing and were rescued by
small craft.
1t was some time before relief
boats could approach the ship, for ita
air balloonettes obstinately held i.
up. The first survivors taken off in.

Reject Peace
Erin's Answer to Terms
Offered by Lloyd George
Will Be Delivered i'm
Downing Street Friday
Dali Eireann in Split
Understood De Valera Is to
Make an Appeal to Con-
tinue the Negotiations

DUBLIN, Aug. "a (By The Associated
Press. The belief was expressed here
tonight that the Dali Eireann's answer
to the proposals of Premier Lloyd
George for peace in Ireland will be
a refusal of the terms, but that the
refusal will be followed with argu-
ments seeking to induce Mr.. Lloyd
George to continue the negotiations.
This belief was considered to be sub
stantiatcd by the fact that two of the
understandable from Dublin Castle.
Messrs. Cope and Mcmahon, had a talk
to-day with Robert c. Barton and
Eamon ]. Duggan, two prominent mem
bcrs OF the Dali Eireann. The con-
ference lasted several hours and is
thought to have concerned the continu-
alton of the truce in the event of re-
lection of the governments terms.
The reply to Great Britain's terms
will be delivered at Premier Lloyd
Georges official residence in Downing
Street Thursday night or Friday morn
ing, it is expected here. The delivery,
it is thought, will precede the proposed
public meeting of the Dali Eireann.>
In the preparation OF the reply, on
which Eamon de Valera and the other
leaders worked to-day while the Dali
Eireann was taking a recess, the Cabi-
net has the benefit of advice from the
members of the Sim Fein Executive
Commi ttee, which is composed of some
what older men than the average Of the
Dali membership. These men were
in the conferences to-day
over the terms of the reply now being
framed
1t was expected that the completed
draft of the Irish reply would be ready
for submission to The Dali Eireann at
tomorrow mornings session. 1t was
apparent yesterday that Mr.. de Valera
and his colleagues wished to bring the
Cabinet, the Parliament and the Sim
Fein Executive Committee into ac-
cord on the subjects to be covered in
reply, and it seemed that differences
of opinion had developed over the ma
ture of the note.
ciated Press "a Sim Fdin courier
