 QUEEN OF THE AIR
Thirty Passengers Can Be Carried By ZR-3 When
 Completed

BERLIN, Sept. 22-America's gi- eantic new Zeppelin ZR-S. now being constructed at the Zeppelin works in Friedrichshafen. on Lake Constance. will be of the same dimensions as the largest Zeppelins Germany was build ing at the end of the war.

 Maximum diameter, 2S meters.
 Propulsion by five 12-cylinder May bach motors of 400 horse power each
 Speed so miles per hour.
 The motors represent revolution in airship propulsion, Eckner said. They can be stopped almost instantly from their maximum velocity.
 The ship will carry 30 passengers in a luxurious saloon divided into five compartments. In addition, there will be a general saloon which at night will be converted into sleeping quarters for passengers, and an elec- tric kitchen.
 The crew will consist of 2S men. A German crew will be used to conduct the big ship to the United States, the start probably being in November.

 WASHINGTON. Sept, 22.-A series of adverse developments has resulted In placing a pile of unwelcome prob lems on the White House doorstep, which President Coolidge, in turn, must take up with Congress:
 1. Attorney General Daugherty's adverse ruling on the Farley plan for disposing of the government merchant fleet. The shipping board is seeking some way of proceeding with the dis position that will be within the law but the question will be aired In Con- gress again. Coolidge Is uncertain whether to ask amendment of the law to make the Farley plan legal, or to strike out anew. The subsidy is not likely to be brought up again as the new Congress Is hostile. t
 2. Great Britains rejection of the 12-mile reciprocal treaty. This draft treaty was proposed to simplify the hardships of American prohibition agents in seizing rum runners. But it.. rejection means tnat Congress must increase the prohibition force or openly wink at smuggling.
 2. The refusal of the department of justice to approve use If naval craft in chasing rum runners. This further aggravates the situation created by the failure of the 12-miio treaty.

eIded by the previous Congress the c'amor from the wheat belt grows louder. All Sorts of plans are being adYarced and the demand for an eX tra session of Congress continues. But Coolidge and his advisors believe that the government has done almost all that it can and the disposition uere is to wait until December in the hope that conditions will have adjusted themselves. If not then the whole question will be fought out in Congress and this. at the threshold of presidential year. will test the eeneralship of the President to the limit.
 Coolidge shies from the thought of an extra session because 1t will bring
 hese troubles to head just that much earlier. With the insurgents holding a virtual balance of power every question that is opened up will plunge the administration deeper into difficulties.
 I'd like to see the appropriations passed and then adjourn" one stall wart senator said. "The minute we open up these economic questions, Congress will be a mad house"
 He was not optimistic about the prospect of this. however. Adminis- tration leaders are privately uneasy over the outlook and believe that the insurgents are planning to harass Coolidge in order to make his nemi- nation impossible, if they can.

Ny THOMAS l.. STOKES ase Wire To The Age-HcraI It


 WASHINGTON Sept. 22,-The gov step toward bringing down the price of coal when the interstate commerce comm ssion opens hearings in Pitts burg Monday on anthracite coal rates.
 The coal commission has laid part of the blame for high hard coal prices on railroad rates from the Pennsyl- Vania fields, claiming that too great a percentage of the final cost to the consumer appears to be absorbed in freight rates,
 On the recommendation of the com mission, the interstate commerce commission ordered re-hearing on anthracite rates early in July. Since that time the railroads involved, coal operators, and shippers have been preparing their cases and have gathered a great mass of data to be presented and reviewed by the inter- state commerce commission.
 o o O
 Hearings open Monday.
 The hearings will be open Monday. No one knows how long they will last. The last time anthracite coal rates were reviewed, several years ago, nearly three years was con- sumed in taking testimony.
 w. A. Disque, attorney examiner of the interstate commerce comm ssion, will conduct the hearings which will begin Monday. and which will go into rates on anthracite coal from Pennsylvania to points in all Of the hard coal consuming states. About elght ssor ten carriers, as we'll as shippers and coal operators, will be 'repxeseuted It may be. necessary to move the hearings ab3ut fFem point to point. After all the evidence has been presented, and counsel for the various parties represented have argued their cases. the whole question will be brought before the full com mission here for final action.
 Meanwhile, the federal trade com mission is Investigating the anthra- cite price condition, to see if there is any indication this year of a practice which the coal commission charged was responsible for the sky-rocket- ing of hard coal prices last year, the passing of coal among group of re- lated interests "middlemen,' each of whom took his share of the profits. Commissions Final Report.
 The coal commission, which went out of office Saturday has sub mitted it's final report to the presi- dent for publication Monday. Francis has likewise given up his position, and will return to the department of commerce.
 The commission, though teasing to exist officially, will be called on by President Coolidge for advise in case an emergency arises. Wadleigh, as head of the fuel division of the de- partment of commerce and from an ex-officio connection with the inter- state commerce commission will be ready to assume charge of coal distri- button likewise, if an emergency occurs.

Alabama Senator Talks On International Issues, And Says America Could Com
 pose Europe in Sixty Days
OPPOSED TO DO-NOTHlNG ATTITUDE OF REPUBLICANS
While Not An Anti-Leaguer,
 Underwood Cites Failures Of Assembly To Settle Corfu-ItaIian Controversy
WASHINGTON BUREAU l.
 THE AGE-HERALD ! Washington. D. C.. Sept. 22

The United States can compose Eu- rope.
 It hasn't done 1t.
 This is the entire story. Efforts of republicans to muddy the waters will amount to nothing.
 It is the duty of the republican party through President Coolidge to assert itsedlf.
 The republican party is idle. It plays the banjo while the world burns.
 Senator Oscar W. Underwood of Alabama, candidate for the demo- cratic nomination to the presidency came to Washington today from Chi cago. In Chicago he had been quoted as being opposed to the League of Nations Here today, Underwood said:
 "The European condition is con dltion, not a theory. Unless that condition is composed. there must be distress in America. Can it be com posed by an entrance by the United States into the League of Nations? Can it be composed by the participa- tion of the United States in the elec- ton of judges of court of interna- tional justice?
 innumcTa0ie OppOFtuultAcbs
 There are innumerable opportuni- ties. The United States has taken advantage of none Of them. That which might appeal to us today might not appess in- S25. Let 4be administration assert itself. It s charged with responsibility"
 Senator Underwood was quoted as having said that the league at present was impotent. What he really said @t. 11, T f nf Q the differences between Italy and Greece He declared today that he did not turn his back on the league. put that he simply expressed the opinion that the league had not functfoned in the embryonic debaclc precipitated when Italy seized Corfu.
 "The republican party he said, Ifs not excused at all. This country, by whatever party is in charge of af- fairs must declare policy respect ing Europe. What shall we do? What will Coolidge do? It is pos sible for the United States in 50 days to make of Europe consum- of the United States. All that is needed is an assertion of vigorous American policy"
 Doesn't Intend To Move.
 Senator Underwood, 1t is made ap-
  idge's chestnuts out of the fire. If Coolidge should ask advice of Sena- tor Underwood, it Is learned that senator Underwood would respond, Until he does, the Alabama senator will remain silent. It is known, however, that he believes that the United States would simply have to assure France that Germany would not attack her, and that Europe in consequence would be composed within 60 days.
 It is the lack of European mar liet that distresses America. Under wood holds. The republicans could construct the European market n 60 days. He believes he doubts, however, that Coolidge will be more alert in asserting himself than Hard ing was.
 Senator Underwood received today a copy of the Alabama legislature bill authorizing him to name the Alabama delegates to the democratic convention.

OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla. Sept. 22. (By Associated Press Rehabilitation of additional units of the Oklahoma national guard will be ordered soon, Gov J. C. Walton declared tonight in announcing that an extension ot the scope of absolute martial law to several counties of the state is in prospect.
 We are not getting what we want out of several counties" declared the governor. ostensibly referring to the activities of his agents in investigat- ing acts of mob violence in the state. T cannot say now when these othnr counties will be occupied by the mili- tary, but unless we get satisfaction soon 1t is sure to come" Governor Walton declined to name the coun- ties to which he referred and also would not say how many troops would be called to augment those in service.
 He declared, however. that more troops would be ordered to Oklahoma City for duty during state fair week, which opened today.
 Asked definitely if he intended to carry out his announced intention of imprisoning all members of the legislature who attempt to meet here next Wednesday in their scheduled extraordinary session, Governor Wal ton declared: q will leave that mat ter to 'Adjutant General Markham
 T would hate to throw any of these legislators in jail, but if any arrests are necessary, General Mark ham will take care of it,'' the gov ernor added.
 He refused to divulge his plans for preventing the session, but reiterated his charge that it would be a "mee. ing of lawless mob since 6S mem bers (more than a majority of the house) are Ku Klux Klansmen."
