BELLLEVILE, Ill, Sept 16.-The
army dirigible CO. on its way west
ward from coast to coast, was moored
at Scott Field, the government flying
field here today, drawing throngs of
spectators. The blimp arrived here

Departing from Akron, Ohio, yes
terday morning at 9:52, the dirigible
arrived at Wilbur Wright field near
Dayton, at LAS p. m, making the

than eight hours. Powerful search
lights were used in order to guide the
crew safely to the ground.
Few citizens here knew of the ar

OF GARY
union SEEKS FUNDS
TO AID ACCUSED men

Walter L. Wall, of Gary, secretary
of the Brotherhood Of Railway Train
men, Saturday announced that pre-
Iiminary plans had been made for a
mass meeting to be held here soon 10
raise funds for the men who are
charged with participation in a train
wreck at Gary.
THAT sounds funny" said Mr..
Wall" to raise money to defend men
who have confessed, but the fact is,
we contend, that these men confessed
to wrecking the train to escape fur
Their torture at the hands OF the police.
They had never been in Gary until
they were taken there after the wreck.
l have physicians charts to show the
bruises on their bodies caused by the
brutal methods of the police.
Believe Men Innocent
I'VE believe that the wreck was not
caused by human hands. 1t would
have been a physical impossibility for
the men to have wrecked the train,
as, according to official records of the
railroad, only nine minutes elapsed
between the time another train
passed and the time the train was
wrecked.
I'VE shall appeal to all union labor
organizations throughout the state to
help defend the men."
Mr.. Wall visited the state council oil
carpenters and joiners, the delegates
subscribing to the fund.

Tourists Attend Fair
While Camping At Park

The usual duties of entertainment
of tourists at Glen Miller park, which
usually are in the hands of Henry
Fulls, park superintendent, have been
interrupted for the past week by his
activities in connection with the fair.
The occupation of their usual camp
ing ground by the fair scattered the
tourists over other portions of the
park. The tourists found the fair an
acceptable substitute for the usual en-
t~ertainment, many of them changing
their plans SO as to stay over to at
tend the fair when they found it in
progress. The horse diving act proved
an especial attraction to visitors from
a distance and the tourists expressed
great pleasure over the unexpected
treat
