SUCCESS Of zR-3
SERVES To RECALL.
ATTEMPT Of 1910

NEW YORK, Oct. 15.-By this
Associated Press.)-Fourteen years
ago, almost to the hoJr that the
ZR-3 poked her nose over New
York, the first serious attempt tc
cross the Atlantic by iri2ible got
under way at tlantic City, n. J
At SOL a. NJ. October Is, 1910
Walter Welman, of Chicago; Melvin
Vaniman, aViator-engineer, and a
crew of four men embarked on the
dirigible America for the Atlantic
flight which ended in disaster less
than 20 hours later.
At 8 o'clock Wednesday morning
the ZR-3 sailed over Brooklyn, Lake
hurst-bound, completing her epochal
journey from Germany in but a few
hours more time than it took the
Inflated Wellman expedition to fly
and drift $50 miles over a zig-Zag
course that ended with the aban
donment of the America $50 miles
east of Cape Hatteras.
I'm spite of disaster, the incOn
Gruous America, granddaddy of pres
ent day lighter-than-ai filters, es
tablished records for distance COW
cred by a dirigible in sustained
flight and for distance of flight
$50 miles
Motors Failed Her
After months of preparation the
America left Atlantic City with
London as her objective. The cigar
shaped bag, Us feet in length, was
propelled by two motors of between
so and 80 horsepower each-a pow
er which would drive the ship al
the rate of % miles an hour in calm
weather. She carried five tons OF
gasoline, estimated as sufficient tC
feed her engines for ten days
Aboard also were provisions for
thirty days.
An hour off Atlantic City-the
ship was headed up the coast-the
4--lerica ran into a fog and at 6:5C
that afternoon the dirigible reported
with the aid of her crude wireless
aIran2ement that she was off Scot
land lightShip a bare 80 miles from
the start. Wellman had confidently
believed the America would make ar
average of $50 miles a day.
The America worked her way up
the coast, keeping in touch with
shore wireless stations until October
II, when trace of her was lost. She
had disappeared off Nantucket, and
was last seen floating seaward wit h
one feeble engine sputtering away
Speculation as to her fate was a
matter of international conjecture.
Liners Joined Searc.
Five transatlantic liners joined in
u search for her. President Taft
considered sending war vessels on
the trail. The brave little pioneer
crew was believed lost.
Then, before dawn on October IS,
the wireless operator of the steam
ship Trent caught from the air
lantern flashes in the Morse code,
1t was a call for help.
The Trent awaited the dawn,
which brought to her astoundeG
crew and passengers the sight OF
the helplessly drifting dirigible 500
feet over their heads. With diff.
Guilty the crew cut loose from the
big bag, which was cast adrift, and
the six were picked up by the
steamer.
Naniman was killed July 2, 1912
when the Akron, a new dirigihle de-
signed for a second transatlantic
flight blew up on a trial trip out
o. Atlantic City. His brother and
three others of the crew also were
killed.

POWER COMPANY HEAD
GIVES REASON FOR CHANGE

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Oct 10
Thomas w. Martin, president of the
Alabama Power company, authorized
the following statement:
Arrangements were made some
time ago to organize the Southeast
ern Power and Light company, an
American corporation, which has
succeeded to the ownership Of the
common stock and other securities
of the Alabama Power company
heretofore owned by the Alabama
Traction, Light and Power com
pany, Ltd, a Canadian corporation
1T was necessary when the Ala
bama Power company began its wa
terpower development in Alabama
in 1912, to obtain a large portion OF
the funds outside of the United
States. For this reason a Canadian
corporation was organized as the
Alabama Fraction, Light and Pow
err Co., Ltd, which became the own
er of the common stock of the Ala
bama Power company, and sold its
securities to investors both in the
United States and abroad.
"Since the outbreak Of the World
war, Alabama Power company has
been financed through the sale OF
its preferred stock and bonds jim the
United States, large portion having
been sold to investors in Alabama
where the company operates, and
with Canadian sales approximately
so per cent of the common stock OF
the company no wis owned by citt-
zens of the United States.

good will of the public enjoyed by
the Alabama Power company have
been substantially increased. the
directors of the company feel, that
since the actual operations of the
company are in the United States
the logical place for it's financing is
in the United States.
THE American company will sue.

signs of deterioration" contrary to
charges made as a result of the pilot
death, the special Army board ap-
| pointed to investigate the accident

AS a result of its investigation, the
board recommended that "all dives
over the starting line of races be
eliminated in the future" and con-

The board said, however, that "the
accident was due to structural failure
of the airplane, the exact nature OF
which it was impossible to determine
from the testimony of observers and
from an examination of the wreck

II also pointed out that the airplane
had had not over 25 hours of actual
flying in the air. and that prior to
its entrance in the Pulitzer race many
careful and detailed inspections were
made of all parts
The board found that Capt. Skeel

1000 feet the wings left the airplane

Capt. Skeers death attracted un-
usual attention. +. l.. Skeel of Cleve-

to Congress and to Maj. Gen. Patrick,

the machine his son piloted at the
time he was killed was unsafe. and
asserted that appropriations should
be made for the purchase of proper
equipment for the air service or that

When husband and wife sepa-

gets the wedding presents.
This was the finding of jury in
Circuit Court yesterday. The
panel ordered William Matthews
Black and his mother. Mrs. Ma
tilda Irene Black. to give his wife
Mrs. Anna Dennis Black, their
wedding presents, worth $500, and
500 cash for damages.
The wife claimed that when she
and her husband separated, in
1921. the husband and his mother
kept the presents.
1t was the contention of the de-
Tense that the gifts had been made
for the most part by friends of
the husband, but the wife claimed
that most of the doners were
friends of both, and that they had
an equal right to the presents.

OF CREAM
AND MILK is INCREASED

Consumption of fluid milk and
cream in both farm and city homes
has been increasing rapidly for sew
eral years, a survey just completed
by the United States department of
agriculture indicates. Average con-
sumption in 1923 was So gallons,
compared with SO gallons in 1922,
and 40 gallons in 1921. The average
daily consumption in 1928 figures
out 1.6 pints per person.
Farm people who have producing
cows consume more milk and cream
than do city people, but farm people
without cows or with nonproducing
COWS, consume less than do city
people, the survey shows. Average
daily per capita consumption on
farms having cows was 1.7S pints
in 1923; on farms without cows or
having nonproducers the average
was IT'S of a pint, and
in the city homes the per capita daily
consumption averaged .87 of pint.
The farm figures were tabulated
from approximately 10000 schedules
of consumption on individual farms,
and represent the most compre-
hensive survey ever made of milk
and cream consumption. Data on
in cities were obtained
from boards of health
and covered nearly 800 cities, or
about 25,000,000 people.
