HIS GUILT
DR.. Nixon Declares Trial VIII
Clear Him of Murder.
Fire Marshal Probe Caused Ar
rests in Banta Case.

Great Bend, Kan, Aug. 25.-Investi-
cation by the fire marshars office of
arson charges in connection with the
burning of several buildings is said to
have been responsible to large de-
gree for the arrest of Roy Hayes,
garage nan and DR.. w. A. Nixon,
charged with the murder of Arthur G.
Banta, well known Western Kansas
criminal lawyer.
Hayes alleged confession that he
and DR.. Nixon planned Banta's death
made to officers at Great Bend this
week, came after authorities had
spread a net about the pair from the
information they obtained while in
Vestigating the arson cases 1t is stated.
Three additional charges against DR..
Nixon, all charging arson, have been
filed by E. z. Fitzpatrick, deputy state
fire marshal. One charges Nixon with
setting fire to a barn, another with
burning a house, and a third with fir
ing a blacksmith shop, all at Great
Bend. Officers said today that other
charges against Nixon will be filed
soon.
With Nixon held in the Barton
county Jail in default of one hundred
thousand dollars bond on murder and
larceny charges, and Hayes imprison-
ed without making fifty thousand dol
lars bond on the same charges, Great
Bend is eagerly awaiting the prelimi-
nary hearings of the pair set for Fri
day, Sept. 2 Nixon continues to deny
the alleged revelations made in the
Hayes confession. He characterizes
Hayes statement as coming from
another guy trying to get from under
and lay the crime on an innocent
man." He declares the trial will clear

Of the ZR-2, tugs stood by the wreck
age and keen eyes scanned the water
for any bodies that might have been
dislodged by the tide that flowed over
all that remained of what was yester-
day Great Britain's mightiest dirigi-
BILE, which officials expected to turn
over to the United States navy today.
1t was believed that the ruins of the
aerial dreadnaught held the bodies of
fifteen American and twenty-six Brit
ish officers and enlisted men who
were engaged in the final test of the
machine.
All hope that there might be other
survivors of the disaster was dissipated
during the night. The wreckage fell
only 200 yards from the shore, and the
six gondolas in which most of the air
Ships personnel was riding sank i'm
mediately to the bottom of the Hum
Der. The men in the gondolas it was
believed would have little chance to
escape after the dirigible struck the
water, as the weight of the engines

Howden, Aug. 25.-Norman Walker,
sole American survivor of the wreck
ed airship ZR-2, today gave The Asso-
slated Press the first circumstantial
account of the disaster which late yes
terday destroyed the great super-df-
rigible and every American member
of the crew on board except himself.
Walker was seen at the Howden air
dome, near Hull. where he has just
been brought after the terrible ex-
periences thru which he passed un-
scathed. He comes from Commerce,
Texas, and was a rigger on the i'll
fated air ship. He is of boyish ap-
pearance, twenty years old and of a
wiry build.
I'VE were all in the highest spirits
when we left Howden on the trial
flight" he said. I'VE sailed over the
North sea first and then started down
the north coast to Pulham.
"a thick fog developed so it was
found impossible to land at Pulham.
In fact the fog was so dense, we were
more or less lost, although we knew
the general locality.
I'VE were flying at height of
about $500 feet with the wireless
keeping in touch with both Howden
and Pulham. The ship was behaving
finely and there was not a sign of
weakness anywhere.
I'VE drove out over the sea again
and as the fog continued bad we flew
along the coast until Wednesday
afternoon, when we sighted land at
Hull. We then flew across to How
den, where it was decided to land at
Gao p. M, so we called over Hull
again. We cncircleJ Hull twice and
the speed trial was completed without
hitch.
"a test of the ships control then
began. I was at the lower rudder
proceeding back to the tail. and had
just reached the cockpit when there
was a tremendous crash. The girders
amidships broke and the snip split in
halves
"Both the tail and the nose imme-
diately pointed downward and the
halves started to descand toward the
Humber.

Mcdonald Shirt Factory Re.

II Has Been Closed Since jan
a uary 1 of This Year.

The Mcdonald. Shirt factory. 400
Quincy street, a branch of the McDon-
aid shirt factory at st. Joseph, Mo-,
opened for business this morning. The
shirt factory was forced to close down
about the first of last January on ac-
count of the general business depres-
sion. Tho factory will employ fifty
women here. Miss Bee Dumbell, will
have charge of the employees and the
output in this city. Miss Dumbell has
been a forewoman for the Mcdonald
Manufacturing company for several
years.
According to P. W. Peck, manager
of the mechanical department of the
Mcdonald manufacturing company.
the shirt and overall business is bet
ter at present than it has been since
the war. The main factory of the
company at St Joseph has been doing
a capacity business for the last three
months. 1t was owing to this rush of
business that it was decided to open
the Topeka branch to aid in relieving
the crowded condition of the home
factory. IF business continues to be
as good as it is at the present time the
branch factory in this city will run in
definitely" says Mr.. Peck.

to an announcement made by Charles
l.. Mitchell, president of the Topeka
advertising club. AS interest in the
advertising club runs high and large
number of guests are expected at the
dinner, it would aid the committee
materially if those expecting to attend
would notify Milton Tabor, on phone
2502.
While Topeka is we'll supplied with
clubs, for years there has not been an
advertising club in this city. Expert
ence has demonstrated in cities much
smaller than Topeka that an adver-
tising club properly conducted can be-
come one of the greatest single factors
in the commercial development of a
city, Mitchell says. Since every mod
ern, progressive business man cons-d-
ers advertising one of it's strongest as
sets, it is felt that every business man
in Topeka will feel prompted to con-
meet himself with a club whose aim
is better advertising.
After the dinner plans for the per-
manent organization of the club will
be considered. The bulk of member
ship will be drawn from Topeka men
and women engaged in various forms
of merchandising. 1t will be their
ambition to give the citizens of To-
peka and it's trade territory a better
understanding of goods sold here.
A Message of Importance.
Confidence in the ability of Mr..
Mackinosh to be able to convey a
business message of considerable i'm
portance is sufficiently demonstrated

GIVEN NO CHANCE
Every One on Board ZR-2 Had
Means of Escape.
Most Must Have Been Killed
Outright, Say Experts.

Washington, Aug. 25.-The navy
department announced today it had
been decided not to hold an American
the zR-2 but that as the ship was IN
der British Jurisdiction, to leave the
investigation to British officials.
A court of inquest will be held over
the dead Americans, however, in ac-
cordance with naval customs, to es-
tablish how they met death and that
they met death in line Of duty.
Navy Not Discouraged.
Despite the loss of the ZR-2, ac-
tually becoming naval property, Off
GERS of the naval bureau of aeronau-
tics confidently hope the navy will be
permitted to continue its rigid airship
program.
They point out that America already
has a gigantic hangar at Lakehurst
N. j., completed at a cost of two mil
lion dollars and capable of housing
two ships of the size of the ZR-2, as
well as other complete facilities.
zR-1 Nearly Ready.
Altho appropriations were stopped
before the ZR-1 was completed, most
of the necessary duralumin structural
llidleIldl Is dlISdOy manufactured anu
awaiting assembly much of the en-
velope has been fabricated and nearly
all the material for her completion
purchased, st a cost OF q million
dollars.
For months the naval gas extract
ing plant at Fort Worth. Texas, has
been storing helium gas. and sufficient
gas of this type has been assured to
fill the envelope of a. ship as large as
the lost ZR-2
Not So Big as ZR-2.
Plans for the ZR-1 call for an air
ship of slightly smaller size than the
ZR-2, a length of $40 feet, diameter
proXmately 1900, 900 cubic feet The
total cost is estimated at $2,500,000
1t is not thought that the navy will
endeavOr to purchase, from England
any of her remaining rigid airships
but that construction in America will
be undertaken If others are author
lied.
Construction of the ZR-f was halt
ed some time ago because of the fail
ure of congress to appropriate funds
1t is navy custom not to pay for prop
erty until finally tested and accepted
and inasmuch as the ZR-2 had not
en- finally tested or turned over tc
the United States. it is expected that
Great Britain will have to stand the
monetary loss brought about by the
explosion of the dirigible, a loss of ap-
proximately 100000. A decision
from the comptroller of the treasury
may be necessary before the navy is
able to use money applied for the
ZR-2 for the completion of the ZR-1

SIGN PEACE PACT
Treaty With Germany Only
Needs Ratification Now.
American Envoy Delayed the
Signing at Berlin.
CONFIRM AUSTRIAN PACT
Both Agreements Go to the
Senate September 21.
Means End of UnfriendIy Rela-
tiOns With TeutOns.

Berlin, Aug. 25.-The state of war
between the United States and Ger
many, which had been in effect since
April 6, 1917, was formally terminal
ed late today.
The separate treaty of peace be-
tween this country and Germany was
signed at the foreign office, re-estab-
lishipG peace. Ellis Loring Dresel,
the American commissioner, signed for
the United States and Doctor Won
Rosen, the German foreign secre-
tary, for Germany.
The German American peace treaty
was to have been signed yesterday and
all was in readiness for it; but at the
last minute, a technicality arose and
Commissioner DreseI asked for a
postponement Until today to enable
him to communicate with Washing
ton.
Hughes Cleared Way.
Washington, Aug. 25.-Secretary of
state Hughes has cleared up the tech
nical point which caused Ellis Loring
Dresel, American commissioner at
Berlin. to withhold his signature from
the treaty of peace with Germany yes
terday.
The point raised by Dresel was of
minor Importance and the secretary
of state early today dispatched a reply
to Dresefs query, which is expected
to close the matter and i is probable
the treaty will be signed in Berlin to-
day.
Austrian Pact Signed.
The state department today received
confirmation of the signing of a treaty
of peace between Austria and the
United States in Vienna yesterday.
This treaty is understood to be al
most identical with that negotiated
with Germany.
If the treaty is signed in Berlin to-
day, it is expected it will be published
here 1mme mediately upon receipt of word
that it has been finally concluded. The
way has been paved for early rattfi-
cation of the treaty by the senate, ad-
ministration officials believe. Repub-
ican members of the senate foreign
relations committee put their stamp of
approval upon the pact yesterday and
Secretary of State Hughes explained
the document to both Republican and
Democratic members yesterday after
noon.
To Senate September II.
Senator Hitchcock, of Nebraska,
ranking Democratic member of the
foreign relations committee, stated to-
day he "can see no reason why the
treaty should not be ratified
: The treaty probably will be submit
ted to the senate September 21, when
it reconvenes after its recess.

One "Chute'' Tor Three.
'T made a rush for the tail to get
a parachute, but I found two of my
English comrades, Harry Bateman
and Walter Potter. were already there.
I knew there was only one chute
there for the three of US. Bateman
had the chute and jumped, but it
fouled and he hung to the tail Of the
dirigi bic.
Both Potter and 1 started to run
forward for other parachutes but just
as I got in the keel there came an
explosion of either a petrol tank or
hydrogen, and flames Immediately be-
gan to sweep the forward part of our
half of the ship.
What was happening to our COM
rades in other parts of the dirigible
don't know. Most of the officers and
crew were amidships. either seated or
lying in their hunks. when the girders
broke. At least one man dropped
thru the gap made by the break. Pos
sibly others did. but probably most of
them rolled forward when the air
ships nose went down.
II ran back to the tail to get away
from the fire in the bag. Bateman,
Potter and I got into the cockpit. BY
this time the gas was becoming de-
pleted and the ship was shooting
down rapidly. The forward half had
already beaten US toward the water.
We could not use a parachute then, as
we were too low-only Il rev hundred
feet up.

that the tide was so strong and the
sands were shifting so rapidly over
the body of the lost airship that it
was unlikely that any more bodies
