 That will be plenty of time" he said, it was necessary to start for America earlier because l had to run a race with a gale approaching from Ireland. At a. m. the wind which usually blows across Lake Constance from the north has died down"
 Weather reports received during the night elated both Zeppelin commander and crew.
 Tt looks like good weather ahead, Captain Hans von Schiller said. There is a low pressure area over the Taimur Peninsula which is almost stationary. The low area over Scandinavia is rapidly moving east, while the high pressure area over Central Europe is also spread ing eastward. We therefore hope, rather confidently, we can stick to the great circle route."
 For a time today, Dr. Eckener was in a difficult quandary regard Ing his passenger list, but eventual ly managed to straighten every thing out.
 Miss Kaneko Kitamura. a Jap anese suffragette, succeeded in up- setting the serenity of the flight preparations by insisting that she was entitled to berth on the Graf Zeppelin for the Tokyo flight. She produced receipt for s1O0 paid to the Hamburg American line long before the Graf Zeppelin started for the United States and beard ed Dr. Eckener in his den. The doctor was upset as he foresaw complica- tions, since Lady Grace Drummoni Hay is supposed to be the only woman round -the-world passenger.
 At the same time Japanese cor respondents who had obtained Jap anese rights to the flight news strongly protested against Miss kitamura's making the trip.

'GORILLA' MAN IS
 MURDER SUSPECT "Pete," Who Attacked Girl,
 Sought in Milford Murder STATE POLICE IN PROBE

Strengthened by Discovery That
 Child Was Stransled by Powerful
 Hand-Axe and Club No Clue.
 Milford, Aug. IA R-The investi- gation of the brutal staying of three-year-ol Albert Mikenas of An sonia centered today on search for a gorilla like" man, who a woman told police, attempted an assault on girl here a week ago.
 This man, known to investigators as Pete" an itlnerant bus boy who but lately quit a job in a West Ha- ven resort restaurant, is suspected in the staying not only because of his attempted assault on the girl, but also because the autopsy performed by medical examiner and Yale med ical school scientists on young AL bert's body had revealed his neck was crushed by a powerful hand that had choked him to death.
 Frightened Into Flight
 The investigators said Pete" has been seen since the Mikenas boy dis appeared during a beach visit with his mother here July 29. but not since the attempted attack of the girl. This attempt was described by Mrs. Bessie Gergain, Myrtle Beach resident, who said the gorilla like" man had jumped from behind bushes upon the girl, but was frightened away when she screamed. This oc- cured at night and in darkness.
 Deputy Coroner James J. Corri- gan, heading one side of the tri- angular investigation of the staying. declared today that the axe and club found yesterday in a space some 100 hundred feet from the spot where the mutiiated body of the Mikenas child was discovered last Sunday, were "unimportant" and have no connection with the case. Both he and Sergeant Henry J. Gallbronner, chief investigator for the Milford police, agree that Boy Scouts camp ed in the shack and on leaving for got the axe and club. The "blood stains" on the axe have been discov- cred to be rust marks.

Financial Committee Hears Last Speeches and Then Adjourns- cnces to Face National Leaders Again for Final Settlement On Date
 Agreed Upon at Today's Sessions.

Agreed Upon at Today's Sessions.
 The Hague, Netherlands, Aug. 14. -tP1Having practically fixed Christmas as the limit for evacuation of the Rhineland, the separations delegates this morning set Saturday as the date when the chief problems before them must be settled.
 The financial committee which met at 10 o'clock this morning heard the last speeches on the question of deliveries in kind and then on mo- tion by Philip Snowden, British chancellor of the exchequer, decided to suspend it's work until Saturday to give opportunity for continuation of informal conversations among the delegates.
 Snowdcn Hopeful
 The chancellor, whose demands for modification of the Young plan have represented the chief nut to be cracked. expressed hope that these conversations will bear fruit and the remainder of the delegates echoed his sentiments.
 Louis Lucheur, French delegate and the principal speaker this morn ing. agreed with w. Graham. presi- dent of the British board of trade, that payment of separations by deliveries in kind is unfortunate, but declared they were inevitable.
 The peacemakers. he said. had choice between two evils when they decided on this form of payment and they chose the lesser. France has no interest in receiving imports under these conditions,' he said. and the French delegation is in agreement with the British that an effort must be made to find some way to elimin- ate them"
 Denounces Reexportation
 M. Loucher joined other speakers in denouncing the reexportation of goods delivered on the reparations account. He thought. however. that the effect of deliveries in kind on the economic situation in Great Britain was less than believed by the British delegation. He gave figures to show that British unemployment. in terms of French francs, represented an an- nual sum of 15.O00. 100000 francs. while the total deleveries in kind were only 3,OO0.O 100000 francs.
 The French delegate held the world economic situation had been affected by an increase in exports from the United States and that if Great Britain enjoyed no more the proportion of trade she had before the war. 1t was due to world condi- tions. South American imports from Europe, he pointed out. had de- creased to about one-third, all of which had gone to swell the exports of the United States.
 Praises American Economics
 "The Americans are younger and more ardent people than we, and un- derstand, perhaps better than we, that as population increases produc- ton must increase and that there must be a continuous race between production and consumption" he said, salaries are high in the United States, stimulating spending. perhaps bringing higher cost of living, but
