 The R-100 will be 709 feet long 51 feet longer than the U. S. navy dirigible Los Angeles. It will have a carrying capacity of 100 passen- gers and ten tons of freight, a cruis- ing radius of 1000 miles and a speed of 75 miles an hour:
 It will be able, Burney estimates, to voyage from New York to Lon- don in about 38 hours, but the vest ward flight will take ten hours more because of the difference in prevail ing winds. The ship will have the luxurious state rooms and appoint ments of an ocean liner.
 Present plans call for endurance maneuvering and mooring tests for the R-10O in July and August, to be followed in September by the trans- atlantic tests. If these succeed. Brit ish capital is prepared, Burney says, to organize at once a $35.000,0 ,0O0 cor poration to build five more ships to serve with the R-100 as 8 trans atlantic air fleet.

Earnings for tsN Aldaet
 $t6.67 Pef Sbllt

New York, Feb. 15.-R0Net in- come of the American Locomotive company for 1927 was S6,s91.278, equivalent to s16.67 share on SS3,S96 shares of preferred stock and 34.e0 per share on 770.000 shares of common stock outstanding. the annual report showed today. In 1928 net income totalled $S,0l6.93s. equivalent to &20.SS per share on ss5.o00 shares of preferred stock and $745 per share on 770.0oO shares of common stock outstanding.
 The board of directors frankly in- formed stockholders that continued depression in the railroad equip ment industry had been especially acute during 1927 and that drastic curtailment of expenses in both ad- ministrative and operating depart ments had been made. Economies thus effected, in conjunction with the more stable earnings of the Railroad steel-Spring company, and income from securities the company owns, the directors said. were re- flected in the net profits for the year.
 It was explained that although the equipment business formerly paral- leled the trend of general business, increased efficiency of railroad oper- ations through movement of heavier train loads on faster schedules and hy longer locomotive runs has dis turbed the coincidence. Loss by rail- roads Of short-haul business. trans- ferred to motor cars and motor trucks. also has released 8 number Of locomotives for other uses.
 The directors expressed the belief. however, that when the general business growth of the country has caught up with present railroad equipment capacities, moro locomo- tives will be needed. Additional busi- ness was foreseen in the necessity. in event of an abrupt increase in gen. eral business, for replacing . larger percentage of obsolete or inefficient motive power units.

 Among the firms alleged to have been damaged by Meisel's activities Is the German dye trust and num- Der of its allied organizations.
 Indictment accused Meisel, who was born in Munich in 1874, of in- weighing Schmittnaegel into divulging German methods of chemical manu- facture which were then handed on to other interested parties. He also was accused of acquiring secrets from other chemists, notably . Dr..

New York. Feb. IS R - David K. E. Bruce, son-in-law of Secre- tary of the Treasury Mellon. who recently gave up diplomatic ca reer, has entered Wall street banking house to learn the busi- ness, 1t was learned today.
 He entered the employ of the Bankers Trust company in the bond department on February 1. but few of tho employees of the institution knew of his identity until recently He is . commuter. riding to his work from his s:-room mansion on q l00-acre estate at Syosset.

 Bruce and his wife returned to America some months ago from Rome, where he was vice consul at a salary of t2.500 a year.
 The Evening World says:
 Tt is not expected that Bruce will remain with the Bankers Trust company beyond his period Of training-the number of years depending upon his aptitude for finance. Influential flnanciers with men they wish trained never send them to their own institutions. They farm them out where their connections with the head of the house is not 50 direct.
