Winds Aid Craft

New York. Aug. 9 R}-Aided by favoring winds. the German dirigihle, Graf Zeppelin, apparently was well ahead of schedule today or the transatlantic leg of her globe -circling flight.
 The fact that Dr. Hugo Eckener, commander. was taking full advan- tage Of the propitious weather con- ditions was indicated in the progress and speed of the airship reported in radio messages to the United States navy department.
 Less than "A hours after she left the naval station at 'Lakehurst. N. J., for Friedrichshafen, Germany, the airship was more than half way across the Atlantic with the pros pect of several more hours of flight with fresh west wind to add 20 to 25 miles an hour to her normal speed.
 The Graf Zeppelin left Lakehurst with 22 passengers. 21 men and one woman, at 11:40 p. m., (E. s. T.) Wednesday. At II D, m. (E. S. T) feSleIudy Sle ISpOIle lO. llit navy that she was in position 1.500 miles east of New York and making 70 miles an hour.

 At 630 p. m., she had reported a position 1925 miles east of New York, indicating that she had cov- cred 475 miles in four hours and 30 minutes.
 The weather bureau forecast the following conditions:
 Relatively low pressure north of Belle Isle with high pressure south of Nova Scotia will cause fresh west winds and mostly fair weather for the Graf Zeppelin in the next 12 hours at least. Such conditions should add 20 to 25 miles per hour to her normal speed"
 In addition to the messages 10 the navy department news of the prog ress of her flight was relayed by

Germany Prepares Welcome

F'riedrichshafen, Germany, Aug. 9 P,-Zeppeln officials today believed Dr. Hugo Eckener, commander of the Europe bound Graf Zeppelin. would turn somewhat northeast from his soutnerly course today and fly over northern France instead of retracing his westward journey by Gibraltar, and the Rhone valley.
 Unfavorable winds were reported prevailing between the Azores and Spain.
 Doubt was cast here on reports that the Graf would fly over Lon don on her way home, and the big airship was expected to hurry across France in order to reach her home port late Saturday night. The diri- gible might pass over Paris if pr. Eckener goes far enough north, though the usual route is up the valley of the river Loire past Nantes and possibly Orleans.

 The experts were inclined to think that the hugh airship had partly turned back possibly to avoid rough weather or that, more likely, the two reports were really the same mes- sages from the Graf with mistaken time calculation by the stations re- ceiving them. This latter belief was strengthened by the fact that the 8 a. m. figures were round numbers while the 9 a, m. figures were car ried out into fractions.

NO HASTE IS NECESSARY.

The Senate yesterday passed the celebrated Con- troller Bill vet in such a manner as to make it very doubtful if its provisions can be put into effect conceding for the minute that the measure were to be enacted by the House in the identical form in which it is received from the Senate The emergency clause, making the measure effective the day it receives the approval of the Governor, was stricken failing to get the required two-thrds vote Thus, even if enacted by the House, it will not be- come law for 90 days after approval.
 This is what brings the question of procedure to the fore The bill first seeks to create the office of Auditor It then provides that the first Auditor shall be elected by the members of the Senate and House of Representatives of the Legislature" a ma ority of all the votes cast being necessary for cleo tion If the bill should become law while the Legislature is in session. that before its adjourn ment sine die early in May, undoubtedly it could assemble in joint session and proceed to ballot and elect an Auditor. But it's right to pass an act authorizing itself to, meet subsequently, or any num- Der of it's members to convene, and acting in their capacity as Legislators proceed to take such action contemplated, is open to very serious question.
 We believe there is doubt that the Legislature cannot call itself together in special extra ordinary, session. The Organic Act specifically re- poses in the of the Territory that power. Yet this bill seems to contemplate such session in the following language
 If this act does not go into effect until
 after the Legislature has adjourned the first
 Auditor may, nevertheless, be elected as
 above provided qualify and assume the
 duties of his office this act be-
 comes operative
 That is to say the supporters of the measure, contemplating such defeat of the emergency clause as has taken puace, have sought to authorize by legislation another gathering of the Legislators use the bills own language, "in joint session as-

Isembled" to elect the proposed Auditor. That the words special" or extraordinary are not used in connection with the proposition, we believe, does not affect the matter nor alter the fact that it would be such special or extraordinary session.
 The same situation confronts the Legislature in respect the election of the first Treasurer to be chosen under the bill The same sort Of election is provided for And if the Legislature cannot meet and act in the premises the entire Control Board plan falls to the ground at least until after the next general election in 1881.
 Of course this is purely academic discussion. The measure which it has been conceded from the beginning would pass the Senate, has yet to be passed by the House of Representatives. Until it acts there need be no preparations made for hous- ing any session of the Legislature special or other wise.
