.zR-3 DELAYED AND IS
 HELD UP TILL SUNDAY
Belief Is That Craft Is Too Heavy-Start T0mOr-
 row Assured

By The Associated Press.
 Friedrichshafen, Germany, Oct. il The flight of the Zeppelin zR-3 from Friedrichshafen to Lakehurst N. J., the start of which had been announced for this morning, was suddenly postponed at the last min- ute, until six o'clock tomorrow morning.
 While no formal statement was forthcoming from the management of the Zeppelin works, where the great dirigible was built for the United States navy, it was apparent that Dr. Hugo Eckener, director of the works and commander of the ship, discovered that the ZR-3 was loaded with more weight than It could comfortably carry.
 pr. Eckener claimed that the at- mospheric lifting power this morn ing was such that a successful starr was precluded and he immediately afterward ordered quantities of gas- oline and ballast jettisoned.
 Even taking out a ton and a half of gasoline, however, failed to light en the ship enough so she would float as she should, and Dr. Eckener explained that the rising tempera- ture was hindering the dirigible's lifting power.
 As every ounce of gasoline may be required to propel the vessel in the event of rough weather he deemed 1t best to postpone the hop-off rather than further reduce his fuel supply, which, as the dirigible stood in Its hangar this morning, weighed about 31 tons. Dr. Eckener is hoping for cooler weather and consequently more buoyancy when he endeavors to take off tomorrow.
 As the cool weather gives the air. ship more lifting power, Dr. Ecken- CT explained, efforts probably will be made to get away by 6 a. m., before the temperature begins to rise with the sun. It is estimated that with the rise of each degree, the ships lifting power is reduced approxim- ately 500 pounds, consequently the dirigible today will be stripped of all excess weight, including some of the Americans baggage.
 In the event the southern route Is followed. if Is likely that the diriei- ble will reach the coast region of the United States near Charleston, g.. C., instead of New York. In that event, Washington may get a peep at the airship prior to the mooring at Lakehurst.

MRS. LA TOILETTE HITS AT GREAT MONOPOLIES
Tells New Haven Audience of Fight Against Great
 Octopus"

New Haven, Conn, Oct 11.--Mrs. Robert NJ. La Toilette. speaking in the interest of the La Toilette Wheeler campaign here last night, named what she considered is the great octopus" that her husband is fighting in his presidential fight. "The monopoly of transportation, the monopoly of oil, monopoly of steel, the monopoly of money and credit These great combinations of wealth in the hands of few, who in viola tion of the law are exploiting the many" she said, are the issues upon which Mir. La Toilette is making his fight.
 Attacking the president, Mrs. La Toilette said that Mir. Coolidge shows lack of human sympathy" criticizing him for his "extraordi- nary effort to put over the Mellon plan of taxation which would lower taxes on large incomes and increase the taxes on small incomes" She asked her audience to contrast this raordinary effort" with the prest- dents veto of the soldier bonus, that small compensation to our boys" and his veto of the bill to increase the pay of postal clerks. "They handle 49 per cent more mail," she said, and receive 13 per cent less pay in purchasing power t.,an before the war"
 Regarding the country's foreign policy. Mrs. La Toilette said:
 Great aggregations of wealth dic-. tate our foreign policy. They make loans and investments in all parts of the giSbe and expect our govern ment to back up their great under takings. They assume that the flag will follow the investment. They plan to have our army and navy ready to take care of these great foreign ventures. So long as the control of big business in govern ment continues, the pressure for the biggest army and navy win go on.
 T am a pacifist. I cannot say that Mir. La Toilette is one. I believe that no threatened danger, no vio- lation of principles could come upon us which would compare with thu destruction of civilization that will inevitably follow another war"

SLEEPING GIANT PARK IS FORMALLY OPENED Mount Carmel Tract Will Include About 1,6O0
 Acres

Mount Carmel, Conn, Oct. H. Opening of the sleeping giant park, here today. marked another exten- sion of the states reservation of land for public use and enjoyment. Abounding in natural beauties that make. 1t ideal as a public recreation space, the new park is expected to be liberally patronized.
 The tract has been long a source of interest because of the fact that the four hills, rising oneabove an. other give the appearance of a huge giant stretched in repose, Mount Carmel forming the head and the other hills the remainder of the imaginative structure.
 Saving of the tract from the en- croachment by commercial interests has been effected by an association which secured subscriptions both of land and money for it's preservation as a playground. A stone quarry had been operating on the elevation which formed the head of the giant and as the work of the crusher de- manded stone from the side of the hill the contour was in danger of de- struction.
 The proposed park will eventually include approximately 1900 acres and will be alsot miles in length which is the distance from the the point where the imaginative can picture his upturned toes. At the present time the subscribers have secured for the association over soc acres aud the attitude of the state park commission as expressed by one of the members Lucius F. Robin son at the opening exercises today is to back the association In Its ef- forts to complete control of the pro- posed tract.
