ZEPPELIN SALE DENIED.

FRIEDRICHSHAFEN, Germany, Oc-
tober Is (P,.-Reports from New York
that the dirigible Graf Zeppelin has
been sold to Spanish company were
denied yesterday by Director General
Colsmann of the Zeppelin Corporation.
He declared that the consent of the
German government would be necessary
before the company could dispose of the
Zeppelin. and that. Furthermore. the
company's own plans precluded all
prospects of sale to foreign buyer
at this time.
THE Graf Zeppelin will remain in
German possession for the time being,
as we are determined TO explore the
commercial possibilities of this dirigi-
ble," Colsmann said.
Chartering Declared Likely.
At some future time, he added, the
dirigible might be chartered for COM
mercial exploitation, but the title would
remain with the German company.
While there is no objection to the
eventual sale to Spain, this, he declared.

would yield the necessary means for
further developing the problems con-
nected with the Zeppelin company's
BUILDING program.

plans of DR.. Hugo Eckener, who had
charge of her construction, is to inau-
gurate q semi-monthly mail and pas

the United States which he hopes to
develop into profitable enterprise, at
least sufficiently to realize revenues
which would enable him to write of"

planned to do so. He did say, however,
that it was still in the realm of pos
Sibility that the Los Angeles might go
aloft as an escort to the newcomer,
saying that if any such decision were
reached a public announcement would
be made at once.
Secretary Warner returned to the
presSroom a few minutes after the con-
ference with the reporters had closed
and definitely announced the Los
Angeles would not be sent to greet the
Graf Zeppelin. 1T has been decided"
he said, that because of the manner
in which the Los Angeles is berthed in
the hangar, with two Navy non-rigid
ships huddled beneath her, it would be
unWise to diSarrange the three ships at
time when we are going to need the
hangar for berthing the Graf Zeppelin"
Others Make Talks.
After Warner addressed the reporters,
brief talks were made by DR.. G. G. Kiep,
first secretary of the German. embassy
at Washington; Assistant Secretary of
Commerce for Aeronautics William P.
McCracken and Capt. E. S. Jackson,
commandant of the air station.
All expressed the opion that no dis
appointment in the expedition should
be felt because the flight had taken
longer than had been expected. Rather,
they said satisfaction should be felt
that the ship was able to stay aloft
so long, carefully picking a safe path
between storm areas.

PRISONER as its arrival time today, and
Navy officials estimated that it might
be as much sooner as 2 o'clock this
afternoon.
On the basis of compass bearings,
the Navy placed the dirigible 800 miles
away at 6 o'clock this morning, pro-
ceeding at the rate of about As miles
an hour.
Message From Zeppalin.
The message direct from the diri-
gible, signed by Lieut. Comdr c. E.
Rosedahl, and sent at $50, being re-
layed here by wireless shortly before
10 o'clock this morning, reported that
plans were still indefinite but that it
was expected to land at or before
sunset.
From the tenor of the message, Navy
officers deduced that unconfirmed re-
ports that the dirigible might need
assistance either because of lack of
fuel or because of damages, were un-
founded.
Crowds BEGIN to Gather.
Although yesterdays crowd at the
air station was not cleared from the
congested roads until the sun was we'll

A solemn warning that the church

Quoted in Trinity Episcopal Church,

Rev. Mr.. Russells warning was in
tended to apply primarily to the Prot
eStant Episcopal Church, before whose
General Convention now being held
here, is to be presented a resolution
recommending recognition of faith
healing by the church. Many dele
gates to the convention attended the
faith healing conference today, the So
ciety of the Nazarene being one of
several national organizations within
the church founded for the purpose
of restoring the gift of healing uni
versally practiced in the early church.
I'VE have got to come to it," Rev
Mr. Russell declared The church must
give healing its proper place to meet
the demands of the hour The day is
coming and we must realize that"
The formal resolution for the recog-
milton of faith healing which may be
placed before the General Convention
later today. recommends to the church
at large such efforts as are being made
under Episcopal authority either
through the personal ministrations of
parish priests or through such organi-
cations as the American Guild of Heal
ing, the Society of the Nazarene and
the Grace Cathedral Mission of Heal
ing, to awaken men to the truth that
there is healing power in faith in Jesus
Christ"
The commission which prepared the
resolution, also urges that theological
schools in their teachings take notice
of this widespread belief in the efficacy
of prayer as an expression of living.
rather than formal faith"
Rev. Mr.. Russell, who took as his
general theme Preaching the Whole
Gospel" declared that God had laid a
threefold mission on the ministry,
namely. to teach, to preach and to heal.
A half-hour of prayer and meditation
preceded the open discussion of the

Gayner Banks, director of the society
At this half-hour service The necessity
of prayerful meditation as essential to
faith healing was stressed without it,
the speaker pointed out, 1t would be
foredoomed to failure.
