HAMBURG, Sept. 2.-tP)-The
Graf Zeppelin reported its position
to the Hamburg American lines at

flying at an altitude Of about 1900

1870 miles east and slightly south
Of Lakehurst. 1t had veered slight

LAKEHURST. N. j.. Sept. 2.-(Pl
Aided by favorable winds. the
Graf Zeppelin was flying far out
over the Atlantic today on her fifth
crossing between the United States
and Germany. She was bound for
her own hangar at Friedrichshafen,
Germany. after touring the world.
Carrying % passengers. the air
ship was flying more speedily than
ON her first transatlantic flight TO
Lakehurst. less than a year ago.
Radio advices indicating she was
making about 80 miles an hour,
virtually full speed of her five mo-
tors. strengthened the probability
she would reach FriedrichShafen
before Thursday morning and low
er her own round-the-World record
Of q days. hours and 20 minutes.
New Record Likely

utes. Such a rate of speed on the
present trip would have the dirigi-
BILE home tomorrow afternoon and
the Friedrichshafen-Fr
time would be less than the Lake
hurst-LakehurSt time.
Avoiding possible storm centers
over the north Atlantic, the ship
followed a southerly course toward
the Azores. Naval authorities esti-
mated she was travelling about 200
miles south OF her previous eastern
route.
DR.. James H. Kimball. weather
bureau meteorologist, predicted fa-
vorable winds over most of the
Zeppelin's course. In taking a
southerly course the dirigible pass
ed behind a storm that was headed
toward Sable island in a northeast
erly direction. No bad weather was
indicated on the course with the
possible exception of local dis
turbances.
Mysterious Bullet Hole
The Graf was flying homeward
under command Of Captain Ernest
Lehman. DR.. Hugo Eckener. who
piloted the Zeppelin around the
world and on her previous trans
Atlantic voyages, saw the dirigible
off, then took train for Cleveland
to attend the national air races.
From there he is to 20 to Akron.
Ohio. to inspect the two new
dirigibles being constructed for the
navy before sailing for Germany on
Saturday.
Along with % passengers, the
Zeppelin was carrying a patched
bullet hole Of mysterious origin in
one Of her fuel cells. Members OF
the crew expressed the opinion It
was made while the dirigible was
flying over Texas enroute from Los
Angeles to Lakehurst. They re-
fused. however. to divulge the basis
for this belief or the theory ii was
caused by bullet. Officers Of the
ship said the slight damage would
not impair the navigability OF the
ship or add to the hazard Of the

Charging that utilities now levy
charges without reading meters, or
after reading them improperly, John
A. Riddle, Vincennes attorney for
District II, United Mine Workers of
America, petitioned the public serv-
ice commission today for a new rule
for meter reading.
The petition would establish the
requirement that notice of date of
meter reading must be given all
utility customers by the company by
which they are served. The petition
asks that the reading shall be done
in the presence of the customer, or
his representative, if so desired.
Meter tests may be made by ex-
perts employed by the customer,
rather than by company employees
as is done under the present prac-
