WILD REPORT SENT OUT ABOUT LOSS OF
 STEAMSHIP STARR

On Saturday a cable message was received by the Gateway from our Se- attle correspondent stating that the President Madison, of the Pacific s. s. Co.'S Oriental line, had picked up an s. o. s. from the steamship Starr, the little bulldog of the seas plying from Seward to Unalaska with mail and passengers, had foundered. The Pres ident Madison was bound from Seat tie to Yokohama at the time, and the report was sent broadcast to all wire less stations.
 The Gateway held up the dispatch as many members of the Starr's crew have families here, and it was thought needless to alarm them until the facts were known. The Starr has been re- ported sunk on an average of two or three times winter, and each time the rumor has proven false. Later reports came in that the Starr had re- ported her position at eight o'clock Saturday night to the Canadian radio station at Estevan, on the vest coast of Vancouver Island. Manager Hen derson, of Seward, also received a stating the boat was all right and had message from Capt. o. A. Johansen, been in no danger whatever, nor had it sent out any s. o. s. MT. Tender son also received a message this morn ing stating. that the Starr had just left Chignik on her way in to Seward and would be here some time Thurs day or Friday.
 There is no doubt that the Starr is safe and that it will take more than storm, fog and rumor to down the intrepid little craft. The radio sta tions are still inquiring as to the iden- tity of the boat sending out the call

 T realize better than you the cour- age, hardships and stick-to-it-iveness that these men needed to complete this flight.

GIANT ZEPPELIN, R-3 LEAVES BIRTHPLACE
 LATE THIS WEEK

FRTENDRICHSCHAFFER, Sept 29 The success of the Zeppelin ZR-3 on it's flight across Germany and over the Baltic has made certain that the giant of the sky will leave for Amer ica next week. The ZR-3 made a wonderful landing after her trial flight at p. m. Saturday night
 WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept, 29.- Delivery of the German made ZR-3 from the Friedrichschafen plant to the navy air station at Lakehurst, New Jersey, will bring to this country the first commercial airship of the Zep- pelin type ever to be flown under the American flag.
 While the ship is in custody of the Navy and is listed with naval air craft, she was designed and built for commercial use and under present plans will be used by the Navy to demonstrate the practicability of com mercial aircraft traffic in the United States.
 The ZR-3 is similar in appearance but somewhat larger than the Navy dirigible Shenandoah. While the Shenandoah was the first vessel of the kind ever built in the United States, however, the ZR-3 was num- bered 126 at the Zeppelin plant and is the product of more than 25 years of German experience in dirigible con- struction and operation including the German war fleets. She is the last word in lighter than air design, and will form the foundation for the build ing of future American commercial fleets if this proves to be a practica- ble form of transportation in the Uni ted States.
 The Zeppelin experts estimate that under any normal condition, the ZR-3 would be able to fly from San Fran cisco to Honolulu and back again be- tween Saturday morning and the fol- lowing Tuesday morning, spending the entire day Sunday in Honolulu. Such trip now requires more than ten days by steamer yet the airship could carry 30 passengers and Is tons of freight or baggage and make the journey as a weekend jaunt
 As no definite sailing date has been set, late reports coming from Ger many indicate that the giant dirigible will start on her cruise across the At lantic sometime the latter part of this week.

MANY DEATHS
FROM BOOTLEG
LIQUOR

Recent investigation has disclosed
the fact that America is flooded
with falsely labeled bootleg liquor,
which is causing an alarming num-
ber of deaths. Hospitals and insane
asylums are drawing their quota
from the army of victims whose
health has been wrecked by poison
booze.
In many cases the delicate lining
of the stomach is partially eaten
away or badly ulcered, and the
whole digestive system upset, from
the effects of these vile bootleg
connections. Even the moderate use
of the stuff often develops a SER
ious inflammation of the stomach
which may finally involve the
bowels and bring ON appendicitis.
The first warning of digestive
trouble is usually Il burning sensa-
tion in the stCEiach after eating,
sometimes accompanied by excessive
| gas, sour risings, nausea, vomiting,
| dizziness, headache or other dis
tress. If you are sufferer, don t
experiment! Get Smith. Bros. MA.
