GERMAN UNION

a union Of Austria and Germany is
impossible at the present time, ow-
ing to the opposition of some OF the
big powers, Prof. Wilhekm Miklas.
newly.elected president of Austria,
believes the international obstacles

The new President is a strong
critic of Italy's treatment OF Aus
trian citizens in districts annexed oy
Italy since the war.
Since his election to the presidency
in succession to DIR. Michael Hahn

terviews upon political matters.
However. his views on the more I'M

Austria were outlined to me while
he was still a Christian Socialist
member of the Chamber of Deputies.
Present Austria was created since
the war solely upon political and
military considerations, said Presi-

graphic, photographic and cultural
elements were not considered. Con-
sequently. Austria does not consti-
tute a natural unit, and it is no Won

HOLIDAY
FOR MONDAY

The question of a Monday holf.
day before New Years DAY is one
to be passed upon by the heads Of
the various Government depart
ments, and representatives. of Fed
eral employees yesterday expressed
doubt for a favorable outlook.
When President Coolidge, after
commenting on the growing prac'
tice Of granting half holidays pre-
ceding legal ones. suggested several
weeks ago that Congress pass on
the practice for all time instead OF
passing it to the President and de-
partment heads. he followed his
opinion by granting a full holiday
the Monday before Christmas.
He explained this was not to be
considered a precedent and before
the ckiefs of the departments def
initely decide the question they Will
have to get in touch with President
Coolidge at Sapelo Island, where he
is spending his holiday.

MORT TAL|TY Low

I
An analysis OF. reports OF the rapid
spread Of the influenza epidemic by
Public Health Bureau experts today
indicated that there is no present
danger o. the disease approaching
the virulency Of 1918, when a half
million died.
Officials were greatly encouraged
by the fact that the situation in
California, Montana and other States
where the epidemic is receding is.
satisfactory and that pneumonia. is
not developing as seriously as was
first feared.
While the epidemic is fully as
widespread as that of the war winter,
the mortality rate continues com
parativeIy low. AS the disease.
sweeps into the East the death rate
undoubtedly will increase, owing to
the population congestion and cold
weather, but not with the severity
of 1913.
DEATH Rate Low
At Surgeon General Cummings l..
flee it was stated that the greater
number Of deaths from influenza
may be anticipated as the epidemic
declines in number of cases. In this
stage of the disease pneumonia is
more likely to develop
Although deaths have been more
numerous in California and Montana
in the last week, the rate is still
comparatively low. indicating, ac-
cording to the health service, that
the epidemic will not become highly
fatal.
IF the disease was to have be-
come as fatal as that OF 1918 II
would have been indicated IN a
much more pronounced death rate
in States like California and Mon
tana," an expert declared.
The 5000 deaths reported in 7S
selected large cities by the Census
Bureau. are far under the same
localities in 1918. The Census Bu-
reau plans to make a weekly taba
lation of deaths. in connection with
the Public Health Service study OF
the spread of the disease.
$4,000 for Study
A nationwide scientific invest-
cation of the situation VIII oe
started by the health service as
soon as a fund of $4,000 is avail
able out of the annual appropria-
ton of $400, 900 for the study Of
epidemics. This sum will be autnor
lied within few days and details
for the study will Immediately be
made by the Surgeon General,
Several cities in widely scattered
sections. the East. West, North and
South and Middle West will be Sc
lected. Experts will visit these
cities and make a close study of the
character of the disease. The re.
suits will be submitted to Wash
ingtOn.
The investigation will be con-
Quoted by a special board of health
scientists selected by the surgeon
general. With the data collected IN
a study after the 1913 epidemic and
other scientific research by private
and public health experts, officials
here believe that the probe may re-
suit in means of checking future
epidemics.
Public health officials believe the
death toll all over the country may

HELD
IN RYON' s
DEATH

Henry Kreitzer. of Bowie. Nd, to-
day awaits action by the grand jury
of Prince Georges county because of
the fatal shooting of Melvin Ryon
at his home week ago.
A warrant charging Kreitzer with
first degree murder was issued by
Justice II. d. Kalbaugh last night
after a coroner's jury returned the
verdict that he fired the gun that
caused the death of Ryon" and rec
commended that he be held for the
grand jury.
Hearing To Be Soon
A preliminary hearing will be
given KreitzeE at Upper Marlboro
in few days, according to Deputy
Sheriff Y. NJ. Nichols.
AS the defense aimed to lay
groundwork for its contention that
the shooting was accidental, the
coroner's jury yesterday heard five
witnesses testify that KreitZer
leveIed his revolver first at one
young man at the party, then at
another, and finally pulled the
trigger as he aimed it at Ryon.
Lyle Simmons, Bernard Walker,
Robert Walker, Herbert Jones and
Deputy Sheriff Nichols were the
witnesses. Simmons and the Walker
brothers said they called at kreit'
Zer's house in regard to an install
ment payment on car. They saw
no evidence of unfriendliness on the
part of any person there.
Fired on "Dare"
When Ryon dared" Kreirzer. in
a jocular way, to shoot, the latter
took him at his word and fired
pointbla nix, they s2id.
II asked kreitzer why he shot
Ryon and he said he did not Know"
Deputy Sheriff Nichols testified.
"He told me he placed the body in
Ryon's car and drove off and left it
in the woods"

FRIEDRICHSHAFEN, Dec. 90.
The early part of the New Year
promises to be marked by a
German sensation in the air
as great as the transatlantic
flight of the Graf Zeppelin. The
worlds most gigantic arplane,
now being built by DR.. Claude
Dornier. Of Dornier-Vai fame, on
the shores of Lake Constance.
Is nearing completion.
The Dornier Mystery \
Model" which no foreigner has
yet seen, will be a veritable
flying ship" as distinguished
from an ''airship." Comparatively
little has leaked out about the
dimensions of the plane or other
details, except that it has IL
motors OF 5O0-horsepower each.
Real Air Lines
I have learned some inter.
esting facts concerning this YER.
table passenger liner of the
neavier-than-air type. the success
of which may reyolutioniZe fu-
tltre airplane building. The rooms
for passengers are much more
spacious and accompanying COM
forts greater than on the air
ship Graf Zeppelin.
Some idea of the immensely OF
the boa at-shaped hull may be gained
from the fact that the corridor
through the center is "a feet
inches long. On flights up TO
1 900 miles it can carry 70. or even
: so. passengers, with ample room
and comfort for all Of them.
To Make Long Runs
On the long runs, such as to
Buenos Aires, when it is designed
chiefly for fast mail, with passen.
gers as a secondary considera ton,
it will carry from J 5 to 20 passen-
gers. with a small cabin, like
Pullman compartment, for each.
There is a kitchen and dining
roc l.
There is a wireless plant with a
wide radius. current for which is
furnished by a dynamo indepen-
dent of the motors.
1t is the first airplane built
where the motors can be repaired
while in flight to the extent of re-
placing spark plugs or valve
springs, repairing oil and gasoline
feed pipes, locating and removing
short circuits and similar mishaps.
The hull is strongly built and Is
able to Withstand the waves in
case the plane should be forced
down on the water. AS further
measure of safety the hull is di.
vided into water-tight compart-
nnents similar to a. ship.
1t is the first airplane in history
with so large a crew and the first
to have a captain" and a "chief
engineer. The crew will number
10, exclusive Of the cook and
stewards. which will bring the
total up to IA.
From the keel TO where the pilot
sits is about two stories. Tine
motors are still higher up. lt is
expected that four of the II motors
can rest at time. When not too
heavily loaded even six can keep
the monster plane in the air under
good headway.
The cruising speed will be liz
miles an hour with $50 miles an
hour as the maximum on Al II
WAGors.

BIZ Times Special
LOS ANGELES, Sept. 14.-How
much is a human being worth?
This question is being fought over
as an aftermath of the disastrous
break of the st. Francis dam Of last
March which swept $50 people to
death.
Los AngeluS city and Ventura
County are working together on
claim payments based upon tie
earning power of the dead. Settle
mentS on this basis are being made
amicably and run from $1,000 TO
$4,000 per victim.
A firm of Stockton lawyers has
arrived on the scene and is signing
up the bereaved on another basis,
the sentimental value of a human
life. Asking contingent fees of
thirty-three and one-third per cent,
their claim agent is filing suits
totaling 100000. On these suits
basis an adult human is worth
100000 and a child $4,000. One of
the firms clients is asking $240,000
for the death of his wife and four
children.
Los Angeles is prepared to spend
$10,000,000 in claims damages. In
addition the city is rehadilitating
the devastated valley in Ventura
County. 1t has rebuilt 230 houses
and will rebuild 200 more. Trees
are being replanted and all houses
repainted. In this way the city
has escaped the bitter war that us
ually follows a disaster.

bedridden since July 81 with a
broken leg received during a
round of golf at the Pleasant Run
Country Club.
Dickerman offers himself as a

man who thought golf was a
harmless game. Il wasn't actually
playing when I broke my leg"
explains Dickerman. 81 was
walking over a dirt road close to
one of the tees when I caught my
foot in a rut and fell"
But this fans exchange of golf
clubs for crutches hasn't dimin-
ished his ardor for the game
"I'n be out on the course again
before long," admits Dickerman.
