the trip.
Difficulty in gaining altitude was
believed to have led Dr.. Eckener 10
alter the first part of his course
to Lakehurst. Instead Of heading
southeastward to 60 through the
southern California mountains at
San Gorgonio pass. he directed his
ship straight toward the south. To
have gone through San Gorgonlo
pas the air liner would have had
to attain a height of some 5000 feet.
Follows Border
Necessity of climbing to such an
altitude was obviated by taking a
course along the Mexican border.
Two hours after the takeoff the
ship reached a point neal the inter
national line at San Diego and
headed vast. When sighted at
Yuma, Ariz., at 4:43 a. m, Pacific
time 1t apparently had increased its
speed to 100 miles an hour.
DR.. Eckener planned to plot the
remainder of his course upon his
arrival at FL PaSo. Texas.
With only $500 miles to 90 70

last lap was expected to be an easy
one for the ship which had outrid-
den the storms Of the Atlantic,
crossed the frozen Steppes Of Rus
STA and Siberia and resisted the
blustery challenge Of the Pacific.
The Zeppelin carried a lighter
load this time, however, because OF
altitude to which it must climb In
crossing the southern Rocky noun
tain area. There were go persons
aboard on the flight from Japan TO
the Pacific coast.

the German lighter-than-air craft.
with his navigatorS we're carefully
studying meteorological maps as the
ship left Los Angeles to ascertain
the most practical course across the
United States.
Whether the ship would pay a
visit TO the national air races in
Cleveland, Ohio. tomorrow hinged
upon the meteorological situation.
1t was the intention Of DR.. Eckene-
to circle Cleveland If weather condi-
tons permitted.
1t was believed the dirigible would
reach its goal some time tomorrow
night. The average speed Of the
Zeppelin across the American con-
tinent was expected to be eighty
miles an hour.

AUSTIN, Nov. 29.-The Inside
story" why Lee Simmons OF Sher-
man declined to become general
manager Of the prison system may
now be told.
The earnest visit Of a delegation
OF his Sherman friends TO him, ask
ing him to stick by his old home
town, turned the scale Of his decis-
ION.
Mr.. Simmons told this writer he
really wanted to take up the pris-
on Job, feeling his previous expert
ence, plus one other thing, would
let him make q good showing. The
other item was that legislators who
have been hostile to prison policies
had pledged him their cooperation
In giving him q free hand to put the
prison system on q business basis.
When he was here. Just q few
DAYS ago, successfully pleading
Sherman's claim for the consolidat-
ed Presbyterian university, Mr..
Simmons had made up his mind tc
accept the prison managership 70
which his fellow-commiSSionerS al
ready had told him he was to be
elected.
But as he returned home, his
fellow-townsmen met him with a
welcome, and an insistence which
he did not refuse, that he stay al
Sherman and carry on his work
there.
The prison commissioners even
had offered TO increase the $1,000
a-year compensation Of the prison
msaager, provided that would have
heS Avn an incentive for Simmons 10
accspt the job. He vetoed that sug-
gestton promptly.
