FRIEDRICHSHAFEN, Germany, Oc-
tober 30.-Casting about for some
new means of honoring Dr. Hugo Eek
ener, commander of the Graf Zeppelin,
on his return to his home town, citizens
of RFriedshafen today decided to make
him an honorary citizen. This honor
carries with it the delightful privilege
of exemption from all local taxes.
Despite prevailing weather conditions
along the North Atlantic steamship
lane, Director General ColSmann OF the
Zeppelin works said today that hg
counted on the arrival Of the airship
late Wednesday afternoon.
Picks Ideal Terminal. ~
Herr Colsmann said that the vicinity
of Basel, Switzerland was best suited
for a mid-European Zeppelin airdrome.
He pointed out that favorable meteor
illogical conditions prevailed there the
year round and that this suggested that
spot in the Rhine valley as an ideal
point for the converging dirigible trat11c
of the future.
The zeppelin's flight is viewed as an
acid test to the dirigible's claim to be-
received as a medium of ocean all
travel, which would definitely remove
such craft from the realm OF legend
and experiment.
The town fathers have decreed the
erection of a rostrum on the airdrome
There DR.. Eckener and his chiefs oi
staff will be welcomed on their arrival
At night an enormous torchlight parade
will be held in honor of the new con-
querors of the Atlantic.

cause he didn't like cold weather.
He took bath Saturday morning at
the rooming house. brushed his hair and
walked out, telling Mrs. Donnelly he
would be back after while. He had
confded to Mrs. Donnelly's son, how

would have liked to have been on the

His only possession, q knapsack con-

trophies he had picked up on his wan

NEW YORK, October 30.-The Graf
zeppelins stowaway, a 19-year-old St
Louis boy, who looks younger than his
age, has been crashing gates" the last
two years from New York to Nome.
His name is Clarence Terhune. but
fellow caddies at the Rye, N. Y, Coun-
try Club called him "St. Louis" His
parents are dead, his father, Charles
Terhune, st. Louis barber, having
killed his wife and himself last July.
He was born in st. Louis and at
tended school there until two years ago,
his brother-in-la law, George M. Hall, re-
vealed. His first wanderings carried
him on hitch hiking trip from ST.
Louis to the Pacific Coast, from which
he returned to crash the gate at the
Dempsey -Tunney fight at Soldier Field,
Chicago.
Then followed more wandering about
the country, caddying when the need
for money arose. He was a stowaway
on a Government cruiser bound for
Nome, Alaska. when his mother was
killed. After his trip to Alaska he re-
turned to st. Louis, where he remained
10 days and again vanished

hope existed that the return voyage
would be made in between 10 and 80
hours and that the Graf Zeppelin
would reach Friedrichshafen, her home
port, sometime tomorrow afternoon.
At pm, Eastern standard time,
last night the Graf Zeppelin was re-
ported at 1890 north, $3.50 west, or
about 750 miles east of Chatham, Mass.
At this time she appeared on course
that would carry her over southernly
route toward the Azores.
During the night, however, DR.. Hugo
Eckener apparently found it advisable
to change his course in order to take
advantage of more favorable wind con-
ditions, and at midnight, Eastern
standard time, the Graf Zeppelin was
reported about $50 miles northeast of
Cape Race. Newfoundland. The dirig-
ible reported that there was south
east gale, but that all was well on

At the time of the report the air
liner was heading ina southeast direc-

of the opinion that Dr. Eckener was
planning to skirt the forty-sixth paral-
lei of latitude, which would carry him
to Northern Europe.
At 9 o'clock this morning, Eastern
standard time, the dirigible had been
out of Lakehurst, NJ j., slightly more
than 80 hours, and German experts
figured that she must have covered
more than one-third of the 1000 or
so miles from Lakehurst to Friedrichs-
hafen. The exact distance viii vary,
depending upon the course which the
ship takes.
Weather reports today we're none tco

driven most of the night with a gale
bowling behind her, and there was

voyage. What apparently has mill

the favoring winds, and there were no
reports from the ship indicating that
the stormy conditions were bothering
her unduly.
Berlin Gets Ready.

landing at Berlin appeared to be SLIM
the German capital did not propose to

mast was erected at the Staaken Air

Wherever the airship lands, there is
one person aboard who will command
