NEW YORK, october i2.-The Graf
Zeppelin, now on the way to Lakehurst,
N. j., will make quick return trip to
Germany and probably will carry several
passengers. This was announced today
by DR.. Karl Arnstein, vice president, in
charge Of construction Of the Good
year Zeppelin Co., Of Akron, Ohio, upon
his arrival here, en- route to Lakehurst.
DR.. Arnstein, who designed the Los
Angeles, said he had been in corre-
spondence with DR.. Hugo Eckener, COM
mander of the Graf Zeppelin, and
knew he intends to make quick return
trip. DR.. Eckener, he added, also hopes
to make q second round trip this year.
It is also regarded as possible that
Or. Eckener will make an inland tour
with naval and other officials as pas
sengers before embarking upon the re-
turn flight
Several inquiries have been made con-
corning return passage on the Zeppelin.
Among those who made inquiries, ac-
cording to DR.. Arnstein, are Mr.. and
Mrs. John M. Crawford and Mrs. Otis

DR.. Eckener.
DR.. Arnstein, who was with the par
ent Zeppelin Co. In Germany for IL
years and was consulted by Or. Eek
ener in the construction of the Graf
Zeppelin, said that ship had been so
constructed the danger Of travel aboard
her had been minimized to q degree
approximating absolute safety. Use of
heliunn instead Of hydrogen as Q lifting
gas would make 1t more fool proof"

Fate of Giant Oak

Lanham Recommends Re.
moval, Regretfully, But
Suggests Others OK.

The fate of the giant oak tree near
the home Of s. e. Cochran. 2949 New
ark street, was placed in the hands OF
the District Commissioners today, when
Clifford Lanham, superintendent OF
trees and parkings, recommended It's re-
noval, but with request that the city
heads look at the tree or name dis
interested committee to do so before
they take final action.
Supt. Lanham said he arrived at his
recommendation "regretfully," but de-
clared that the tree, which Is four feet
In diameter, leans In such way that
IL 1t fell 1t would be sure to topple in
the direction of the residence near it.
THE fall of this tree would undoubt-
edly demolish the entire house." the
recommendation continued.
Mr.. Lanharn referred to the beauty,
health and soundness of the tree, en-
phasized by advocates of its retention,
but he expressed the belief that its
rootage is doubtful and its underground
condition problematical
Trimming. as suggested by Commits
sioner Dougherty, would SO mar the
symmetry that even advocates of its
retention would want IL removed, in
Mr. Lanham's opinion.
1T Is seldom this department recon-
menos removal of such fine tree" Mr.
Lanham concluded. But when prop
erty Is in danger and, Infinitely more,
life itself, we can follow no other
course"

The man claimed S. L. DeVlin OF

lost his memory. which may have been
restored by the blow that rendered
him unconscious. He presumably had
been beaten and robbed

dean Of the graduate school OF Ameri-
can University, o Methodist, dry and
heretofore q Republican. took the stump
for Gov. Alfred E. Smith. The title Of
his speech was Tolerance"
Dr. Devine In his speech attacked
what he termed as bigotry, unworthy
prejudice and intolerance as the major
issue of the present presidential
campaign.
He iauded Gov. Smiths stand on
farm relief, national defense, workers
welfare, education and praised his adj
ministrative record as Governor of New
York. He attacked the record of the
Republican party during the past seven
and a half years and especially scored
the Baptist and Methodist ministers
who he says are "risking their
religious authority and influence in an
attempt to coerce their followers to vote
for q particular party and candidate :"
He said: 81 do not believe for an
instant that the Western farmers =
will be confused by the red herring Of o
moral and religious issue, by the cry
that this Nation is in danger Of being
Romanized and rum ridden"

PERSONNEL BOARD
PLANS OWN FUND
Operations Hampered by
System Dependent on
Other Departments.

Hampered by the lack Of its own ap-
preparations and the fact that 1t must
go to other departments and establish
ments not only for most Of its equip
ment but for It's personnel as well, the
Personnel Classification Board Is Ser1-
ously considering asking Congress to
set It I'D as an independent establish
ment, with appropriations Of its own.
The board as now established draws
It's three principal members from the
Bureau of the Budget, the Bureau OF
Efficiency and the Civil Service Com
mission. These three executive officers,
who represent the heads Of their respec-
tive outfits, carry on the work of the
board In its headquarters, at Nineteenth
and Virginia avenue, with force OF
employees who are paid by various Gov
eminent pay rolls scattered all over the
city.
The classification board for some time
has been chaf1ng under the restrictions
and difficulties imposed upon it by this
method and is studying the question OF
Just how best to present the matter
when Congress convenes in December
The first direct appropriation to the
classification board in all of It's history
was made at the last session of Con-
gress in the form of q few thousands
dollars to conduct an investigation and
make report upon comparative SAL
aries In private business and in Govern
ment Offices outside of Washington.
This big Job is under way and q report
will be ready when Congress convenes.
1t is understood to be the position
taken by some officials that the first
appropriation constituted a precedent
under which the board might submit
estimates to Congress through the Blu
reau of the Budget for its own money
in the forthcoming fiscal year, 1880
Director Lord of the Bureau of the
Budget, however who Is titular head
Of the classification board. upon which
he Is represented by budget officer,
Carlos Van Leer. has put his foot down
upon any estimate proposal. Gen.
Lord holds. 1t is understood, that there
is not now sufficient legislative authority
to submit estimates In the name of the
board itself.
According to present indications the
problem has not yet been solved, but 1t
is known to be receiving the most seri-
Gus consideration.
