The ZR-2 cost the United State
government s2,000.000. the building
of the huge hangar at Lakehurst
N. j., another $2,000,000 and the
training of ttr personnel $500,000.
According to the navy department
the airsaip could easily be convert
ed into a commercial airship capa bic
of carrying approximately forty
tons of freight and as many as sixty
five passengers on "A single trip.
Work on the Z2-1, a sister ship,
was stopped recently when congress
failed to appropriate funds for ner
completion.
The hull of the ZR-2 followed the
general lines of a Zeppelin, but was
of lighter construction, the Frame
work being of duralumin lattic gir-
ders and rings. Within this metal
frame there were fourteen separate
hydrogen-gas compartments con-
structed of fabric, lined with gold
beaters' skin, a thin. inipervious
membrane.
In case of war, it was maintained
that the ZR-2 could be filled with
noninffamable helium gas and would
not be affected by rifle or anti-air-
craft gunfire except by actual
punctures to her fourteen separate
gas bags and, as her ceiling" or al
titude capacity was $4,000 feet she
could readily seek and find compar-
ative safety above the range or

United States and Germany were
laid before the Republican members
of the senate foreign relations COM
mittee by President Harding and
Secretary Hughes at a. conference
this morning at the White House.
Senator Lodge announced after
the conference that he would call
meeting for o'clock this afternoon

give more detailed information as
to the treaty.
Terms CT the treaty were said to
have met with no opposition by any
of the majority members of the for
eign relations committee and it was
said all gave their cordial approval.
The President, it is said. hoped for
early ratification. 1t was explained
he would not ask the senate to fore
go it's 80 day recess set to begin to-
night, inasmuch as it was desired
that the reichstag and the senate
consider the treaty at the same time
and the German legislative body does
not convene until September 80.
Republican members of the senate
committee attending the conference.
refused to discuss terms of the
treaty, but it was learned it is a
comparatively short document.
The official statement with re-
spect to the conference, as made at
the White House, emphasized that
the treaty was primarily a peace
treaty and that it's ratification would
be followed by a treaty of commerce
and amity. ''s #4y 4f~

Brandon abandoned all hope of be-
ing saved from his fate at O'Clock
last evening when he received tele-
gram from his wife, who had per-
sonally kissed him good bye Mon
day afternoon. The message inform
ed him that there was no further
hope and urging him to be brave.
She also requested him to send her
a farewell line. which he did.
Fitzsimons was likewise attended
by the two priests. He was smiling
as he entered the death chamber.
While he was being strapped in the
chair he turned to the deputy keep
er and said:
"Well, take care of yourself" "
The current was then turned on.
-Four minutes after he entered the
chamber he was pronounced dead.
In the way in which Brandon was
brought to answer for the double
crime. in some of the features which
attended his trial and in the per-
sistent and long continued efforts
made to save him from the electri3
chair. his case has passed into tus
criminal annals OF the state as anon :
the most curious on record. From
b., inning to end, the cose was mark
ed by unusual incidents.
In the first place, the crime itself
was a most unusual one. 1t was
committed three years ago. Edith
Janny and Arthur Kupfer, had
returned to Perth Amboy after an
automobile ride. They were asked
by two men to take them to Railway
to catch a train. Although late at
night their request was granted by
the couple and, according to the evil
dence at the trial. Brandon and
Charles Perchand, who were the two
men, entered the car.
Soon after. Miss Janney and Kup-
fer were shot dead. One of the most
unusual features of the crime is that
it might have remained mystery
until now II Brandon had not writ
ten to the New Jersey authorities
from the state prison at Auburn. N.
Y. Offering to clear up the case pro-
vided he was given immunity. All
| the local clues had failed the Unio
| county authorities in bringing the
criminals to justice, although for
two years the efforts had continued.
! AS soon as Brandon's letter was
received negotiations were opened
with him. Brandon blamed the crime
on Charles Perchand. his pal. Per-
| chand. Brandon claimed. had con-
fessed the killings to him the morn
ing after they occurred. Both men
were brought to trial in the Union
county court for the double killing.
Brandon repeated his story. But
Perchand declared it was Brandon
who did the shooting. According to
Perchand's testimony. he sat in the
front seat of the car and Kupfer
asked him to drive. He did so,
while Kupfer and Miss fanny sat
next to each other. Brandon. he
claimed. was on the back seat. He

1t was pointed out tnat the ZR-2
as naval scout would equal several
scout cruisers and that when pro-
vided with helium it would be prac-
tically invulnerable. The United
States, having a practical monopoly
on heliun, is the only nation in a
position to have helium filled air
ships.
Unlike the R-34, which made a
trip across the Atlantic in July, 1919,
the ZR-2 would not have to nurse
her engines or conserve her fuel
supply of 1900 gallons. She had
one more engine than R-34, and each
was $50 instead of $50 horsepower,
and her gasoline supply exceeded
that of the R-34 by 500 gallons. She
was also expected to be faster, her
cruising speed being estimated at
fifty miles an hour and with a maxi
mum speed of seventy-five miles.
The ZR-2 was sos feet in length.
forty-one feet longer than the R-34.
She was eighty-five feet in diameter,
seven feet greater than the R-34.
The capacity of the new dirigible was
2.700,000 cubic feet and it's total
lifting power ei-hty-three tons as
compared to the R-34's fifty-nino.
The dirigible was to have ciuis-
ing radius of 5000 miles at sixty
miles an hour. and accommodations
for a crew of forty-two. 1t was es-
timated the trip across the Atlantic
would require seventy-two hours. 1t
took the R-34 one hundred and eight

Yesterday that Mr.. de Valera and his
