CONGRESSMAN CRISP T E LII
OF TYRANNICAL METHODS
OF THE ADMINISTRATION.

AMERICUS, Ga.-The big inter
ests put up millions to elect republi-
can administration and they are now
clipping the coupons, is the opinion OF
Judge Charles R. Crisp, minority
member of the house ways and means
committee, who is spending his vaca-
ton at his home in Americas. Judge
Grips says that never in all his expe-
rience as a member of congress has
he seem such high-handed and tyranni-
cal methods used as those adopted by
the present republican administration.
Democratic members of the ways
and means committee, he says, were
not even permitted to attend commit
tee meetings during the framing of the
tariff bill, but were shown the measure
after its completion by the republicans
and informed they could submit mi
nority report if they SO desired. Chair
man Fordney, Judge Crisp says, is a
thorough protectionist, wanting pro
lection for everything produced in his
section, but that he is willing to &C
cord protection to any other section
wanting II. This, Judge Crisp says, en-
abled him 10 have Fordney write into
the emergency tariff bill duty on
vegetable oils and peanuts imported
from the Orient in competition with
southern cotton seed oil.

OF EXPERTS CALLED SHIP
UNSAFE BEFORE FLIGHT.

HULL, England official in
quiry into the disaster of the ZR-2, the
giant airship for which the United
States contracted to pay England ST.
100000, will almost certainly produce
tremendous sensation if the result OF
its findings is made public.

dirigible which buckled, broke in two,
exploded and fell into the river Hum
Der. was considered unsafe by most
British airmen who knew her, has been
placed before the board of inquiry.
Written reports of airship experts
to the effect that the ZR-2 was not
strong enough, were handed to certain
authorities before the fatal flight, it
was learned.
Navigator Makes Statement.
Lieut.. Wann, navigator OF the
wrecked dirigible, lying on his bed IN
the inhrmary here, suffering from Sc
rious injuries received when the ZR-I
exploded and fell, on Saturday called
for a police inspector.
To him he handed the following
signed statement, which was to be
laid before the inquiry court at How
den:
"The accident to the ZR-2 was duy
to structural weakness. | had intended
this to be my last flight.
From what has been learned from
British officers who were experienced

view was held that the ZR-2 would
