 down his house rather than produce it. The prime minister followed. Recall ing the governments record he said the government was prepared to continue but the house must in all fairness grant it measure of confidence. Sir Robert Horne's motion was a straightforward motion of censure and if it represented the mind of the house, let the house say so.
 The prime minister characterized Sir John Simons' amendment on the con trary, as possessing much meanness and he proceeded to argue against any par ilamentary inquiry.
 The ministers have done their best" |" he exclaimed: If the house cares to censure us tonight, it has the power. But 1t is the end. It will be the end of what members of both sides of the house will agree has been a high ad- venture of n government which I think has contributed much to the honor of Iour country and to our social stability and when the country has the oppor- tunity of passing verdict upon it, it will come again."
 Herbert A. Asquith, the liberal leesder, took more conciliatory attitude Nan Sir. John Simon had done. He twitfta the prime minister with making a fun eral oration before even the doctor had pronounced life extinct. The liberals, he said, were not welded to any par ticuiar form of investigation and he offered, if a select committee was ap- pointed, that his party would not ask for representation on it, so there should be no suggestion that it was a packed jury. He pointed out that a judicial commission, such as had been suggest ed, would need an act of parliament. But if any practical alternative were offered the liberals would make TO ob jection.

 When the convoy landed at the field, Sergt. R. H. Snapp, who had been standing by at the squadron's wireless station for messages from the ship, re- ported that the Shenandoah's radio ap- paratus was wOl king improperly and that he had received no communication. At 7.:45 o'clock, however, Sergt. Snapp heard the ship reporting to the bureau of naval operations at Washington, Birmingham.
 The Shenandoah wireless set had to be repaired four times while sending this report, Sergt. Snapp reported

 Cable Nears Split
 Another bit of trouble that seemed to be inevitable and which would have caused the entire warping operations to be repeated, was discovered when the engineer in charge of the principal windlass noticed that cable was about to come apart where it had been spliced.
 The warping was stopped for mo- ment, Lieut.. R. E. Davenport, executive officer of the landing field, toek charge and after few moments of rapid work the danger was removed and the warp ing was continued.
 The gang plank was dropped from the nose of the draft to the deck of the mast at :52, but the passen- gers of the dirigible could not leave un- tile block and tackle was attached to the mooring cable and every inch of slack was taken in.
 The first person to leave the ShenaD- doah was Junius Wood, the only news. paper correspondent that has been per- mitted to make the trip. He was fol- lowed soon afterward by Admiral W. A. Moffatt, chief of the bureau of who is the official ob- server of the trip. Lieut.. Commander Landsdowne, the captain of the Shenandoah, also came to the ground to meet the welcoming commit tee, but remained at the field to super. wise the refueling fthe ship.
 A crowd estimated from 10000 to 25,000 people came to the field, which Is six and a half miles north of Fort Worth, to witness the arrival of the craft.
 The Shenandoah will leave Fort Worth on the next leg of its trip at 3 the night, approximately 1,60O gallons of gasoline was placed aboard the craft, in addition to more water ballast and food supplies for the crew.

 ''This is the first time that the craft luS maue dn eAtehucu uAp uWay ArVn its hangar and has been forced to use D strange mooring mast overnight and the results have been satisfactory" Moffett said.
 Ut was for this reason that this trip is being made, to ascertain the air Torthiness of the rigid type ship away from the home base on an extended trip. This trip will prove the practicability 'f the mooring mast system of anchor ing the craft" he added.
