today pointed her blunt silver nose to
the United. States on a 3,7OO-rnile jump
across the water, after trip of 1900

After the airSfip passed over Tar

standard time), yesterday, and continued
along the Mediterranean Coast, 3 hours
and 25 minutes went by until she was
heard from again. Then advice came
that she had passed Castellon de Ia
Plana, 110 miles from Tarragona, and
400 miles from Gibraiton, at $40 pm.
Indications we're that the ship was
bucking strong headwinds in making
for the Atlantic at Gibraltar. The fact
that she was not reported for hours
after leaving Castellon gave experts no
concern, since the ship might have
flown south to the coast of Africa be-.
fore turning toward the United States
or might have cut across Spain north
of Gibraltar and between mountain
ranges and gone over regions with
which communication was slow or
primitive.

avoid strong headwinds, the giant dirigi-

ceived by the Zeppelin Works at noon
today.
Now Expected by Monday Morning.
In view of slow progress made by the
airship In bucking headwinds on its
fight along the Spanish coast to Gibral-
tar. experts today estimated that the
dirigible would require 100 hours for
her trip to LakehurSt, N. j. This would
mean that the ship would reach her
American port at am. Monday, East
ern standard time.
Weather reports this morning stated
that new storms were coming on the
Atlantic. and that the Graf Zeppelin
would probably have to go out of her
way somewhat to steer clear of the
worst weather.
May Cover $500 Miles.
1t was pointed out that because of
the adverse winds the Graf Zeppelin
needed more time for reaching Gibral
tar than the ZR-3 had needed to reach
the Azores. With the detour made By
the Graf Zeppelin it was estimated that
her mileage to Lakehurst would mount
up to about $500 miles
II was stated that because Of bad
weather there was no possibility for
the present of getting into wireless
touch with the sirship from Friedrichs-
hafen.
II was believed that by early this
afternoon the dirigible would bes sum
GENTLY south to profit by the eastern
winds and that she would be able to
communicate with the ships on the
South American route. The Zeppelin
company's radio station was out Of
communication with the dirigible this
afternoon.

PARIS. October 12.-The French sub
marine Ondine, overdue for the past
three days, was sunk by Greek ship
off Oporto during the night of the Bird
of October She had aboard officers
and 40 men.
The Ondine, which was 500 tons, left
Cherbotrg on an endurance trial run
October 1. She was last heard from on
October 3 by Spanish wireless station.
Her position was then given as off Cape
Finistere.
The Ondine was due at Bizerta. the
seaport of TuniS, on October 8. When
she did not arrive the French naval
authorities began a search for her in
the hope that she might have met with
some accident which made it impossible
for her to give her position.
The French ministry of marine in
formed the Associated Press that a
Greek cargo boat which recently docked
at Rotterdam reported having sunk the
submarine.
The Ondine was one of the modernly
equipped small submarines on which

surface displacement and 765 tons when

PEPCO TO CUT RATE
ALMOST ONE CENT
Electric Costs Will Be Re-
duced Jan. ! Under Profit
Sharing Plan.

A substantial reduction in electric
current rates, which, 1t is estimated
will cut the domestic primary schedule
from So to cents kilowatt hour, will
go into effect January l as a result OF
the profit-sharing agreement entered
into four years ago between the Public
Utilities Commission and the Potomac
Electric Power Co.
The amount of the cut was estimated
today by attaches of the utilities COM
mission on the basis of the power COM
pany's prospective prosperity for the
current calendar year. Under the prof
it-sharing agreement, the company di-
vides one-half of its earnings in excess
of 71a per cent on its valuation with
consumers, the company's share going
back into it's Golfers and the consum-
ers getting theirs in the form of re-
duction in rates.
The excess profit thus far this year.
utilities experts have figured, will en-
able the company to split melon
amounting to approximately $l100,000
with its consumers. The public's quota
of $550000. 1t was said. will allow S.
cent kiloWatt electric rate next year.
The reduction likely will be applied to
the different schedules Of rates, as has
been done in past years. but the house
hold rate probably will be cut lower
than the various commercial scales
The detailed rates, however, will not
be worked out until the latter part OF
next month, when the company will be
in a better position to indicate more
accurately its excess profit for the year.
This will be done by representatives of
the power company and officials of the
commission.
The profit agreement has
been boon to both the company and
it's consumers. The theory of it is that
the more current used, the lower the
rates will 60. Thus, as the rates have
dropped from year to year electric users
have increased consumption largely
through the use of electric refrigerators,
cleaners and other appliances.
In the four years that the agree
ment has been in effect the domestic
primary rate has been cut from its
maximum of 10 cents kilowatt hour in
1924 to So cents kilowatt hour this
year. The initial reduction was from
10 to rs cents. the rate charged In
1925 The following year it was lowered
to an even cents. In 1927 the rate
was 614 cents and on January l this
year the present rate of So became ef-
fective.

Justice Stafford Denies Sen.
ator's Plea of Immunity
for Talk in Congress.
ISLANDER CHARGE MADE
BY TAX CONSULTANT
Constitution Relates Only to Free
dom From Physical Arrest,
Is Courts Ruling.

Senator Couzens of Michigan must
answer the suit for $5O0,000 damages
brought against him by Howe P. Coch-
ran, Washington tax conSultant, in the
District Supreme Court for alleged SIAN
der in speech made on the floor of the
Senate April II.
Senator Couzens was served with a
summons June at Union Station as he
was leaving to return to his home after
the adjournment of Congress, and
through Attorneys Davies, Jones and
Disbeen attacked the validity of the
service, claiming that he was immune
from service of summons in civil case
while attending the sessions of Con-
gress and until reaching his home.
Justice Wendell P Stafford overruled
the contention of counsel for the Sen
stor and held that the immunity men,
toned in the Constitution relates only
to an arrest In the sense of a. physical
detention and not to service of papers
in civil action.
Question Of Privilege.
To the plea of the Senator that his
remarks on the floor of the Senate were
privileged Justice Stafford ruled that
such plea could not be interpoSed in
a motion to quaSh service, but should be
pleaded in an answer and passed on by
a jury in the trial of the case.
Attached to the motion to quash the
SeryiPp Wac q anYNu Nf fhc COa0roc cci0 al
Record, containing the remarks made
by the Senator, on' which his counsel
relied to show that the statements were
uttered on the floor of the Senate and
not at any other time or place Judge
Stafford held that he would not take
judicial notice of the Congressional
Record and repeated that the Senator
should bring that evidence to the at
tention of the jury at the trial of the
case.
Charge Made by Cochran.
Cochran claimed that the remarks
of the Senator were meant to intimate
that the tax ccnsultarit had been guilty
of unethical conduct and had solicited
the business of Senator Couzens when
the latter was engaged In a controversy
with the Bureau of internal Revenue

May Establish Precedent.
The Couzens' case probably estab-
fishes precedent, and its final deter
mination will serve as guide In the
future in the opinion of William Tyler
page, clerk of the House of Representa-
tives, and noted authority on matters
pertaining to congressional procedure
A search today of the House manual
and Kinds Parliamentary Procedure,
which are invariably consulted for solu-
tions of knotty problems along this
line, failed to disclose single instance
where a member has been haled into

Probably the nearest parallel to the
present case was that arising In the
Thirty ninth Congress, in 1866, when
member from Pennsylvania, Charles
v. Culver. actually was imprisoned in
a civil suit, and his attendance pre-
vented at the regular session of Con-
gress. The House thereupon forced his
release.
