the city, according TO some eye
witnesses, a huge cloud of dense
smoke burst from the tail OF the
aircraft. It was thought the ZR-2
was sending out o smoke screen
as an exhibition but, to the horror
of thousands of spectators, it was
seen that she had broken in half
and was taking a tremendous nose
dive which apparently would bring
her down into the thronged streets.
Then came another loud explo-
sion and a crash, followed by an
other explosion, which was accom-
panied by the breaking Of glass IN
the windows on land, the whole
| being reminiscent Of wartimes
when German airships bombed
Hull. Today's concussion was so
great that it wrecked windows over
an area of about a mile square.
Some spectators assert that the
airship began to buckle before any
flame or explosion was seen or
heard. The broken halves Of the
ZR-2 reached the water nearly a
mile apart. The general opinion OF
the public Of Hull is that the COM
mander of the airship accomplished
remarkable feat Of bravery IN
ldiverting the descent of the vessel
so that it fell into the water instead
Of in the crowded street.
It was moment Of terror, People
in the streets rushed madly to COW
ier. fearing that the massive wreck
would fall upon them. Terror
gave way, however, to horror as the
wrecked airship plunged into the
middle of the river near the cor
poration' pier.
During the fall three members of
the crew were observed making a
thrilling parachute descent. They
came down into the river, where
they were rescued by small boats.
! All who jumped from the falling
craft lost their lives. They had no
chance for escape, for the water
was covered with burning gasoline
and the heat from the burning
wreckage was so intense that even
the rescuers experienced the great
est difficulty in approaching Tor
some time. BargeS. traWlerS and
small boats thronged around the
debris willing to render any pos
sible assistance.
Immediately after the disaster
telephone messages came from
distances up to so miles reporting
that the people had felt an earth
iquake shock.
Designer on Board.
Among those on board the air
ship were the designer of the ZR-2
Superintendent Warren Of the
works where she was built. and
Flight Officers W'icks and Mathe-
son.
ZR-2 closely resemble ed her SIS
ter ship. the R-34, which sailed
across the Atlantic in July, 1919,
although she was IL feet longer and
seven feet greater in diameter than
the R-34. Her gasoline capacity
also was greater than that of her
sister ship. and she had q cruising
radius OF 5000 miles. in contrast
with 1900 miles credited to the
R-34.
1t had been estimated that the
ZR-2 would be able to cross the
200 miles To the American contl-
nent i'm from three to four days.
whereas the R-34 had occupied
nearly five DAYS in her voyage.
Erisadicr General Maitland. who
met death in the disaster today. was
one of the officers who made the
transatlantic voyage in the R-34.
He had been in charge Of the trials
of the ZR-2.

JEWETT CITY

During May the Anne Brewster Fan ming chapter, D. A. R., over the sigma lures of Mrs B. c. Bliss, Mrs. c. H. Jennings and Mrs. c. E. Spicer sent a letter to the selectmen of the town of Griswold which read as follows:
 Gentlemen: The undersigned having pledged themselves to sustain whatever will foster true patriotism and love of country. beg to call your attention to the following facts:
 Soon after the close of the World war this town voted to erect an honor roll, and an appropriation of 200 was voted for this purpose. Two years have passed and Griswold is a town without an honor roll, an exception in these days. We, therefore earnestly request that you will give this matter consideration at your earliest convenience, and if there is just reason why Griswold should not fulfill it's promise, may the reason be made public"
 First Selectman William Johnstone says and proves that the board of select men has nothing whatever to do Sabout the matter and can take no action in i premises over which they exercise no | jurisdiction During the war the state appointed James H. Shea. H. c. Web ] ster and W. c. Terry, a town council of defence. Their many provisions and 1 duties were discharged with an activity always marked by the desire to render
 the greatest good to the greatest num- 1 bers.
 The town of Griswcld and the Borough
 of Jewett City voted one hundred dol 1 lars each, (making the $200 mentioned ] in the Ietter) to be applied to the pur- l chase of a suitable honor roll. in mat
 ter to be left entirely to the discr, n of the council of defense. H. c. Webster, 1 the secretary of that body proceeded at
 once to investigate and secure prices. MT.
 Webster deemed the s2O0 much too small
 an amount to purchase any sort of per
 manent memorial. the belief was shared by others. Other officers were made and
 received suggestions given and further plans partly formulated. As a result as the letter from Anne Brewster Tanning
 chapter states Griswold Is without an
 honor roll.
