watching the fight Of the dirigibls saw
the disaster. They stood horror trickersi
in the streets as they heard the blast!
Then sheet Of fire leaped upward from
the craft. The ship buckled and began,
falling like a plummet, leaving behind
sheet of fame and clouds of thick;
smoke.
The first explosion took place at sd
o'clock, followed Immediately afterwardl
by another. The spectators on land
who were watching the aircraft ran pelI%

great curve, high over the house tops
of Hull, near the mouth Of the river.

was fash md great burst of smoke
and fame. While the horrified watchers
gazed up at the tragedy in the sky, they
heard the rumble Of the distant explo.
sion. Then the great steel framework
doubled-and the back of the great ship
broke.
Slowly at first, then with ever increase
ing speed, she plunged down.

horror, watched the dirigible fall.

The explosion was terrific. It smashed.

Dozens Of small boats put out from the
wharves and from vessels moored near
by, the seamen pulling with all their
strength to be the first at the spot where
the ZR2 had sunk and to search for
possible survivors.
At first 1t was feared that not one
man had escaped. 1t was believed that
all had perished, either by the flames

shocked when he read the dispatch
on the wreck Of the zR-2, the giant
American dirigible.

him to say how many Americans

It exploded over Hull

ZR-2 LARGEST
AIRSHIP EVER
CONSTRUCTED
Was Able to Lift Cargo of
FOrty-five TOns-Flew
Backward.

WASHINGTON, Aug 24-The ZR .
(R -SSl was built a the Royal Airship
Works, Cardlngton, Bedford, England.
The ZR2 was the largest alrship that
had ever been Luilt. 1t was about 10000
cubic feet larger in capacity than the
German Zeppelin LII. which the Germans
built to bomb New York City. Her total
length was 7O0 feet, her greatest di-
ameter s. feet and her total height. from
the bottom Of her suspended ears to the
top of the hull. was % feet. Her cubic
capacity was approximately 2.720,O00 Gu
bic feet, which gave her about eisht-four
tons gross lift and a disposable lift OF
approximately forty five tons, which con-
sisted of gasoline, oil, crew, cargo or ar
mament
Her motive power consisted Of six
$50 horsepower Sunbeam Cossack motors
located in six power cars. She had
speed of seventy five miles full speed)
and q cruising speed of fifty miles per
hour. She carried 10, 400 gallons of gaso-
line, which gave her cruising radius of
5000 miles at full speed, or about 1900
miles cruising speed. The propellers on
two of the power cars were equipped
with reversing gear. which enabled the
ship to check her speed at will or even
fly astern.
CONTROLLED
LIKE STEAMER.
The ship was controlled from the con-
troll car situated forward, which is SINH
lar to the bridge of a ship. The captain
controlled the ship exactly as does the
captain OF a sea going vessel. The com
munication system consisted of engine
room telegraphs, ships telephones and
voice tubes. All orders to the power
units on the engine telegraphs were re-
peated back to the control car before
being put into execution.
The ship was equipped with a radio
set, with sending radius of about 1900
miles. 1t was also equipped with wire
less telephone and radio direction finding

COUNCIL HAT
ADVANTAGE IN
REGULATION
Street Railway Situation
Opens Chance for City in
Jitney Affair.
ADMINISTRATION BUSY
Jewett's Plan of Contract Not
Believed Favored by
COunciImen.

Confronted with the probability of
drastic regulatory ordinances which
are in process of framing for the
city council. the officials of the In
dianapolis Street Railway Company
were debating today method of OBJ
tanning from the city relief from
jitney bus regulation without grant
ing any more than is necessary in
return.
Having evaded the franchise re-
quirements of a payment to the park
board of $4,000, the obligation TO
pave streets between tracks and
regulation as to service by the board
of public works, all that the COM
pany now requires is the elimination
of iitney competition to be in a
position to give indianapolis a first
class street car service on existing
lines at a profit to itself and to the
satisfaction of the street car riders.
But jitney competition has proved to
be the one burden that the surrender OF
the franchise did not affect and the
burden is such as TO make the other re-
lief almost negligible.
Jitney bus regulation only can be OBJ
tained through the city council
Regulation as TO service is now vested
wholly in the city council but there IS
a right of appeal to the public service
commission as to the reasonableness OF
the regulations that might he established
BY the council.

Rv sAMuEL N. RALsToN,

FORMER GOVERNOR OF INDIANA.
II is hard TO call TO mind sub
iect in which the people Of Indiana
have a keener interest than they
have in the public schools Of our
State. Indiana long has borne an
enviable reputation on account of
her school system and she will. in
my Judgment, be slow to make rad
icaI changes in it.
This State long has held to the
Jeffersonian idea that IF a nation
expects to be ignorant and free, in
a state of civilization, it expects
what never was and never will be, ~
and holding this view. Indiana has
been willing to bear very heavy
burdens in order that she might do
her part in the development Of an
enlightened citizenship in this
country.
Is if unreasonable then for the people
ro insist that the expenditure Of forty
r ffftv million dollars annually, con-
ributed by taxpayers. for the education
nd moral development Of their children
hau not become a prize TO be played
r by politicians and other combina-
ionst
CHANGE WOULD PIT OFFICE
IN OFFENSIVE POLITICS.
The proposed amendment TO make the
office OF superintendent of public instruc-
ton appOintive instead Of elective, as Il
now is, viii. in my Judgment, put that
Office in offensive politics and this the
people should avoid.
The people OF Indiana heretofore. have
believed, and l think they will continue
20 believe. that they would rather trust
themselves in the selection Of man to
stand at the head Of their education sys-
TEN. supported by this vast sum Of
money, willingly contributed by them
selves. than TO trust his selection to a
single man, no matter what his party
affiliations may be- who, in making his
choice, would have to run the gantlet
Of questionable influences.
Those advocating this change in our
constitution, maintain that better
equipped men would be selected by the
appointing power to head our educational
system than the people would choose by
an election for this position. There is
