RAM, FAILED YEAR AGO

HUNTSVILLE, Ala, Oct. 14.-Ihe
Bank of Madison, in connection with
which State Superintendent of Banks
A. Il. jackson was arrested in Mont
gomery this afternoon, failed about
year ago. Charges against jackson,
made in a grand jury indictment return
ed here, have not been made public, but
they are understood to be based on an
allegation that he permitted the bank to
receive deposits when it was known to
be insolvent. T. G. Riddle, vice presi-
dent of the defunct institution, who was
convicted of forgery several months ago,
is now serving an eight to ten year SEN
tence in the state penitentiary. Other
arrests in connection with the failure
of the bank are expected.

to. deliver to the visitors letter ex-
pressing New York's greetings.
The naval air station had been out
of contact with the IRIS since o'clock
i'm the afternoon. Officials here ex-
planned that this was probably being
due to the interference of thousands OF
private radios which made understand
ing impossible. Nearly every set in the
east, they said, probably was trying to
tune in for the airship.
Thousands of messages Of greetings
have been wired from Germany and
are waiting for the German air sailors
when they arrive. Some were adj
dressed only. to .COmmander, Lakehurst

To DeflAte Bag
Officials said that even by following
a straight course, avoiding special visits
to any Of the coastal cities, the ZR-3
could not reach Lakehurst before 8 or
o'clock in the morning. Landing ma
neuvers are expected to require several
hours even if the ZR-3 does not fly over
Washington, New York, Baltimore and
Philadelphia as is expected.
Deflation of the big bag of its hydro
gen gas may begin on the day of the
ships arrival. and certainly not later
than the morning afterward. As there
are not adequate facilities for storing
it, the gas will be permitted to escape
into the open air. Apertures to escape
made in the roof of the hangar for this
purpose. @5

posed of, and although there was no
announced agreement on a time for

appeared to be accepted by both sides
as promising an early settlement of
the issue.
After two days Of debate the Senate
accepted. II to 80. the amendment by
Senator Walsh. Democrat. Montana,
providing for government regulation
OF power distributed interstate.
The Walsh amendment served 70 put
the Senate on record as being opposed
to state regulation of a government
corporation. As drawn. the bill pro-
vided for state regulation of power
produced at Muscle Shoals by either
a lessee or government corporation.
Senator Underwood made no serious
objections to the amendment but con-
sidered 1t unnecessary.
A number of other amendments were
accepted by the Alabama senator and
adopted without a record vote. These
would require the distribution of all
power not needed for the manufacture
OF fertilizer; provide that lease Of
the property cannot be transferred
without approval Of the president. and
that farmers be given preference In
the sale OF fertilizer; authorize leas-
ing Of the property either separately
