Lieutenant William R. Taylor of the
medical corps dreamed that the air
dreams vividly pictured almost the
exact circumstances attending the
actual disaster. Taylor, by the way,
was in Hull on the day Of the catas-
trophe and saw the ZR-2 meet her
fate. In his dream. he saw her split
in two and hurtle down just as few
days later it actually happened.
Lieutenant J. B. Lawrence also
dreamed that the R2 was wrecked.
Shields was one of those selected to
take the trial trip on the big airship
but was taken i'll after boarding her
owing to an earlier accident, and Nor
man o. Walker took his place; the
latter being the only American survi-
vor after the wreck.
Mrs. Shields wrote to her husband

dreamed that the ZR-2 was wrecked
and imploring her husband not to

BOILING EXONERATED BY
 INVESTIGATING COMMITTEES

WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. 22- The house committee which has been engaged in Investigating the United States Shipping board, has issued a formal statement clearing R. W. Boiling, brother-in-law of President Wilson, of the charges preferred against him as treasurer of the board. Boiling was accused of par ticipating in bribes given to mem bers of the board by contractors.
 The investigation of the committee ended with the examination of John Barton Payne, secretary of the In terior, and the report, it is under stood, will be submitted just before the end of the present session of Congress. Payne criticised the pro vision of the mercantile marine act creating a board of seven members. arguing that single executive should be placed in control of the board. He said that he was con vinced that the Government could not successfully operate passenger lines in competition with private in terests. He also declared that Amer ican liners could not compete with foreign ships selling liquor aboard Payne said that when he became chairman of the Shipping board he !! found the accounts in bad shape
 with no records of voyages. The general comptroller and the treas urer, he said, had lost their jobs as result of this lax method of hand ling the affairs of the board He also informed the committee that he had abolished several bureau~ because he regarded them as un- necessary
