GIANT D|R|G|BLES
TOBE CONSTRUCTED
Worlds Largest Ships Will
Operate Between Califor-
MIA and Philippines.
BY the Associated Press.


AKRON. Ohio, October 3O-Two
monster dirigibleS, the largest in the
world, are to be constructed and placed
in regular operation between Southern
California and the Philippines in 1888
by the Pacific Zeppelin Transport Co.,
according to Paul Litchfield, chairman
of the board.
Building of the zeppelins, which will
be of 6,50oO0O cubic foot helium gas
capacity, will entail $4,000, 600 con-
struction program, including erection
of another giant hangar here and one
in Southern California and the building
of mooring masts in Hawaii and the
Philippines, Litchfleld said. The pro-
gram calls for their completion in 1882
and being placed on regular runs in
1888. BY the time the Pacific air liners
are built, Litchf1eld said he expected
construction of another hangar to be
under way on the Atlantic Coast in
preparation for transatlantic dirigible
line.
The Pacific liners will carry 80 pas
sengers and 10 tors Of mail, express and
freight. They will cut in half the
crossing time now made by the fastest
boats. Litchfleld, however, said the
object Is to speed travel rather than
compete with any other company,
either air or water. American steam
ship companies, railways and air lines
will cooperate, he said.
The transatlantic line is to be organ
lied by the International Zeppelin
Transport Co. and two dirigibles will
be built in Akron and two in Friedrichs-
hafen, Germany, with operating han
gars on both sides of the sea.

Unwilling to jeopardize or otherwise
unfavorably disclose any defense evi-
dence the accused officer may have for
presentation to the courts Of the Dis
trict, the Police Trial Board this

ton of the Police Department against

cinct detective.
Langdon was arrested Friday by Fed
aral prohibition agents on liquor charges
and now is awaiting action of the Dis
trict courts.
Attorney William O'Connell, appear
ing for Langdon, declared that adjudi-
cation by the Trial Board in Langdon's
case might force the defendant to bring
out evidence which he does not desire

clared that such evidence might react
unfavorably against his client in an ul-

CLEMENTEL NAMED
FRENCH PREMIER
Radical Senator Agrees to
Attempt Formation of New
Government.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
PARIS, october 30.-Etienne Clemen-
tel, chairman of the finance committee
of the Senate and former I,inister of
finance in the Herriot cabinet, today
accepted "in principle" the task of
forming cabinet to succeed the re-
Gently defeated BRAND ministry.
Clementel is member Of the radical
group in the Senate. He is regarded
as one of the most moderate of that
group and the most likely radical to be
able to form a new union government
more to the left than the Poincare COM
bination, excluding conservatives of the
Union group and replacing
them by radicals.
Financial Confidence.
Clementel has the confidence of the
financial interests. This Is chiefly be-
cause of his action when minister Of
finance in taking issue with Premier
Herriot against a capital levy in 1925,
resigning after making his position clear
before the Senate.
He is now first president of the In
ternational Chamber of Commerce, be-
ing head of the French section.
Clementel was summoned by the Pres
ident after Edouard Daladier, leader Of
the radical Socialist party, had definite
Iy declined to continue further efforts
to form government.
Only a short time before Clementel
was summoned, former Premier Aristide
BRAND went to the Elysee Palace and
saw President Doumergue. 1t was
first thought he would be asked to form
government, but it later developed
that he and the President merely had
talked over the situation.
Long in Prominence.
Although never premier before. M.
Clementel has long played prominent
part in French political life, having been
a member of several governments, hold
ing such portfolios as finance, commerce
and agriculture. He was minister of
trade and labor in the Clemenceau
cabinet of 1920 and was minister of
finance in the Herriot cabinet Of
1924-25. He has since been Senator.

The Superintendents of the military
and naval academies failed to reach an
agreement today in their effort to re-
sumo athletic relations.
Maj. Gen. Smith, superintendent at
West Point, after comforting with Rear

deplorable.
He added that while no agreement
had been reached today, the Army still

CHARGES IN DRY DRIVE
Second Offenders to Face Larger
Penalty When Brought
Before Courts.

In an effort to close up "speakeasies"

Hart and James r. Kirkland, assistant
United States attorneys, announced to-
day that operators of restaurants ar
rested for the possession of whisky for
the second time will be charged with

session.
Hart explained that the penalty for a
conviction under the nuisance charge is
much greater than under a possession
charge, and that the place where the
nuisance was maintained can be closed
If the district attorney so desires.
The maximum penalty for a person
convicted on charge of nuisance is a
year in jail or fine of $1,000. while
the maximum sentence for possession Is
$500 fine or 80 days in Jail.
Two persons have been charged with

NAVY SPEED ACE
TO PURSUE TESTS
Lieut.. Williams Authorized to
Develop Mercury Plane
at Philadelphia.

The Navy Department has decided
that Lieut.. Afford J. Williams, jr., re-
garded as one Of the worlds greatest
airplane pilots and the leading speed
expert in the Navy, is not to be thrust
into obscurity by assignment to routine
sea duty and has authorized him to
continue the work of developing his
Mercury racing plane, now in the Phila-
deiphia naval aircraft factory.
Lieut.. williams built the racer with
private capital for entry in the
Schneider Trophy races in England last
month. Owing to motor trouble and
other difficulties, which could not be
corrected in time, he was unable to
represent this country in the race.
After a month Of tests at the Naval
Academy, Annapolis, Md, the plane was
shipped back to Philadelphia.
Though on duty in the Navy Depart
ment here, Lieut.. Williams flies to
Philadelphia almost daily to continue
the work on the racing plane, which
he hopes to have in shape for series
of test flights next Spring.
Through his work on the plane, Lieut..
Williams said, he hopes to get further
light on problems of speed flight as yet
unsolved, so that all possible difficulties
may be solved If it is decided to build
another plane for the next Schneider
races in 1881.
The program Williams has laid out
for himself, with the sanction of the
Navy Department, calls first for test
flights of the Mercury to check its per-
formance against the preliminary COM
putations so that it may be determined
whether the plane has been correctly
designed or whether it will be necessary
to produce another design before a
plane can be built which will be capable
of breaking the present worlds speed
record, which is more than miles a
minute.
All information gathered from ex-
periments with the Mercury racer, Will
liams said, will be made available to
any one who cares to work for speed.

THREE REPORTERS
ARE SENT TO JAIL
Refusal to Answer Grand
Jury Is Held in Contempt
of Court.

Three Washington Times reporters
were sentenced today to serve Is days
each in the District Jail by Justice Pey-
ton Gordon, who ruled they were in
contempt of court for declining to re-
veal to the grand jury names and ad-
dresses of persons from whom they
claimed to have purchased whisky.
The Times previously had submitted
the names and addresses to the grand
jury as they were turned in by the re-
porters. But the reporters refused
themselves to give the information on
the grounds that they might thus be
made prosecuting witnesses, and that
such revelations on their mart would be
a breach of newspaper ethics.
The justice would not ADMIT the re-
porters to bail pending an appeal.
Those sentenced were German M,
Hendricks, IS; Linton Burkett, 80, and
Jack e. Nevir, jr., "a.
The reporters actually face an inde-
terminate Jail term as the district at
torney'S Office may, upon their release,
again ask them to give the desired in
formation to the jury, and If they should
again refuse. they would be liable to
another contempt action.
Gordon Holds Questions Proper.
The grand jury cited the reporters to
the court yesterday after they had re-
fused to divulge the desired names and
addresses in response to questions put
to them by the inquiSitorial body.
In passing sentence today, Justice
Gordon told them the questions put by
the grand jury were entirely proper and
that the court could grant them no
immunity, the law not recognizing the
ethics of the newspaper profession to
protect the source of information as suf-
ficient grounds for maintaining such a
plea.
After asking them If they adhered
to the decision no: to answer the jurys
question, Justice Gordon said:
II find you guilty of contempt of this
court for refusing to answer the
questions put to you by the grand jury.
You are sentenced to serve in the
