CALDWELL, Ohio, September 3
(P).-Just a year ago today the giant
dirigible Shenandoah, pride of the
Navy Air Service. "brOke up in mid
air, near Ava, Ohio, during a severe
storm which swept over southeast
ern Ohio. Fourteen of the crew of 43
including Comdr. Zachary Lans
downe, were killed.
For several hours prior to the
wrecking of the Daughter of the
Stars" it was storm buffeted oven an
area Of about SO square miles.
A line squall which struck the ship
was directly responsible for it break
by the elements.
The major part of the dirigible
landed in a natural amphitheater
two miles east of Ava. A smaller
part-the nose section-after free bal
looming for almost two hours, was
brought to earth by IL survivors
near Sharon. IL miles from Ava.
A third sectional small mid-part
fell in a grove, half a mile from the
main section.
Most of those killed were in the
control and radio cabin, which
dropped to earth, from a height va.
riously estimated from / 200 to 5000
feet when the ship first broke up.
The Shenandoah had left the Lake

advertisements have not been traced
to Mr. Brennan and his petition for a
referendum. But the prohibitionists
are critical Of all such petitions. The
advertisements read in part as fol-
lows:
Good takers to secure signatures
to petition for light wine and beer.
One dollar for every person signed up.
Thirty million signatures to be Sc
cured. Five years work ahead. If
you have average intelligence, you
can earn SIS to $50 daily"
The drys sent representatives to
check up on this business, but found
there was catch in it, and the money
was not to be made so easily. The
advertisements ceased, too, after a
few days.
1t is a question how far the dry
organizations Of the country can at
ford to abstain from referendums
such as that proposed here and that
which is to he held in New York.
The victory Of the vets in the refer
endum will be hailed far and wide as
an indication that prohibition senti.
ment is losing ground, and no amount
of explanations by the dry leaders will
counteract completely the influence
which the result will have. 1t is pos

Wimsatt Of the Southwest Business
Mems Association.
A. d. r. Burr, representing the
Eastern Maryland farmers. advocated
the location of the market al Patter-
son tract. He declared that this was
the farmers choice and that the pub
lie would be best served because the
farmer knew where the best loca-
ton is to sell his products. He said
that it was quite possible that the
county, State and national grange or
ganizations would become interested
in the location of the farmers mar
ket in the National Capital to the
extent of seeing that the farmers
were properly taken care of. DR..
Percival Hall reminded the speaker
that residents of Northeast Washing
ton had been trying to get the Pat
telson tract for park for many years
and that a market would spoil the
project.
b. & o. Men Are Heard.
Representatives OF the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad. favoring the Pat
terson tract OF lexington, submitted
voiuminous reports and figures on the
food movements over various lines in
Washington tending to show what
service this railroad could give and
the advantages of the market sites
they advocated.
The meeting was considerably en-
iivened by repeated Interruptions and
contradictions of statements between
the advocates of the various sites and
extended the record by the hearing

IS TRYING CHANNEL
"Mona MacLaren," Believed
to Be London Physician. :
Seeking New Record.


CAPE GRIS-NEZ. France. Septem-
Der 3.-A mystery woman entered the
ranks of the Channel aspirants today.
Appearing suddenly here this morning
and giving the name of Miss Mona
MacLaren Of England, she entered the
water at $40 am, declaring she
would attempt to set a new time
record for the swim. Speculation ran
high as to her actual identity and
there was a persistent rumor that she
was q we'll known London physician
with offices in Harley street, who had
trained three years at a secluded spot
on the English coast in preparation
for her try at the Channel.
Photographers tried to take pic
lures, but she hid her face and only
her well creased back could be gotten
on the plates.
A few hundred yards off shore was
small motor boat. In it among
others was Horace Cary, an English
man, who joined the girl In the water.
He said the motor boat would be the
only craft to accompany them.
At $40 o'clock the swimmers were
four miles off Girls NeZ. Conditions
were excellent.

she is q Harley street Uondon) medi-
cal specialist.
She Is a large woman and a power
full swimmer of great endurance. She
left Folkestone for Gris-NeZ last night
in a motor launch with the English
swimmer Horace Cary, who is motor
bus driver at Hythe. 1t is believed
here that if Cary is swimming with
Miss MacLaren: he is not really
making an effort to cross the Channel
himself, but is accompanying her for
encouragement.
Water conditions today were excel
lent for a Channel swim, but heavy
fog on this side made swimming risky
owing to the danger of being run
down by steamers. Up to late fore
noon no word had been received here
regarding the swimmers since their
launch left for France and the fog
made it impossible to see from the
shore.
Louis Timeson. who had planned
to start from Gris-Nez this morning,
did not cross from Dover last night
owing to the fog.
