overland flight since the Shenandoah
Disaster She will be commanded by
Lieutenant Commander Charles A.
kosendahl. senior surviving officer of
the Shenandoah, and in her crew will
be many others of those who escaned
death when the navy's first dirigible
crashed.
Under orders issued today by the
navy department Commander Rosen-
dahl Is to have complete liberty of
action In beginning and carrying out
the flight, which, it is officially an
nounced, is for the purpose of train
ing officers and men; for testing
commercial air routes, and for test
ing the Ford mooring mast at Dear
born, Mich.
Refusing of the Navy department
to permit Lieutenant Commander Ia
chary Lansdowne to make a trial
flight to Detroit to test the Dearborn
cast before the Shenandoah set out
upon her fatal voyage figured some
what extensively in the navy inves-
tigation into the loss of that ship.
Besides the military aspects of the
Shenandoah fight, she was ordered
also to visit a number of state fairs
/ In the middle west. 1t is announced
however, that the Los Angeles will
go only to Detroit and that no invi-
tations from other cities to have the
dirigible fly over them will be con-
sidered.
This will not be the Los Angeles
first inland voyage She set out from
Lakehurst for the Twin Cities in
June. 1925, when President Coolidge
spoke at the Norwegian celebration
in Minnesota, but developed engine
trouble before reaching Chicago and

Asserts Evangelist
Could Not Have Made
Desert as Described

Los Angeles, Cal, Oct. 7.-(P)-Alon-
so Murchison, brawny desert traclter
and police officer of Douglas, Ariz.,
testified here today that he did not
believe Aimee Semple Mcpherson,
evangelist, could have made the MeXi-
can desert hike she described on her
appearance at Douglas last June.
The testimony was the high light of
today's session of Mrs. McPherson's
preliminary hearing on charges of
criminal conspiracy.
The latter part of the hearing was
filled with pictures of shacks which
the defense produced and submitted
to Murchison. The witness said he
had been unable to find a shack in the
Mexican desert, south of Douglas, to
correspond with that described by the
evangelist as the place where she was
held by abductors.
According to Mrs. Mcpherson, she
trudged 20 miles over the desert to
Aqua Preta. Mexico, opposite Douglas,
after escaping from the Mexican hut
in which she declares she was held
captive.
