ground Of common public service.
There are none who know rs well
rs those who deal with the crime
question the great importance IT
publicity as . misconduct deter
rent. AT the District Courthouse
room with special facilities is
set aside for use Of the reporters.
Considered Allies
The reporters are allies Of the
courts. The two agencies work
together in kinship. That .
confidential relationship between
them should exist Is but natural.
Judges and prosecutors by ex.
perience have learned that the
ENDS Of Justice often are best
served by 'repOsing faith and reli.
Unce in the reporters for the daily
press. Reporters unworthy Of this
Faith, who violate the unwritten
rule or ethics Of their profession.
are quickly singled out and pun
lshed by their associates in the
way that newSpapermen have
for dealing with such situations.
1t is then, in these cirCum-
stances, just . bit surprising that
three news reporters should be
now in the District Jail for no
other reason than that they re-
fused to divulge to a Grand Jury
their sources Of confidential in
formation.
Did Work Well
The reporters broke no law.
They started out, by direction Of
their city editor, to uncover .
local condition Of crime involving
the prohibition law. They did
their work well. They thought
what they were doing was q bene.
ficial public service. They went
unhesitatingly. before the Grand
Jury and laid down all the in
formation in their possession.
They furnished a list of places,
with names and addresses, where
uquor can be bought.
They rebelled only when the
Grand Jury sought to have them
name their sources Of informa-
ton. The reporters refused to
answer that question, saying II
they did so they could not again
hold up their heads among their
associates in the newspaper world.
It was a question, they said,
which the traditions Of their pro
$ession had taught them was
touching sacred ground.
Justice Peyton Gordon sent
them to Jail by the contempt
route, and there they are serving
q 45-day sentence.
Like Labor Cases
The case of the reporters in its
essential features is not unlike
that of numerous cases wherein
labor leaders have been jailed
for resisting the operations of
Federal court injunctions. An
act which in itself is not a crime,
and which Is not so described in
any statute book, is made a crime
by the simple process Of securing
O court injunction against repeti-
ton Of the act. If the injunction
Is violated, the violator may be
sent to Jail for contempt Of
court.
Now various Congressman are
studying plans for making q law
which in the District will pro
tect newSpapermen in their con-
fidential rela ionShipS. Other
Congressman are working on leg
islation to curb the injunction
abuse. Prompt legislation on

AT THE STRAND

The Greyhound Limited thunders along at full speed. tiny plumes of steam spurt out from beneath the great locomotive which pulls the train, switches chatter as the roar ing cars trip lightly over them, the engines great whistle screeches through the night. signals flash past, and drop back into the inky black ness, the cars sway and lurch under the stress of great speed, A crack passenger train-the very height of railroading-and in the engineers cab sits Monte Blue.
 Monte's latest picture is a Warner Bros. Vitaphone talking production, called "The Greyhound Limited" at the Strand today for three days, and as a locomotive engineer in this fast moving melodrama he takes part in swift succession of exciting ad- ventures. As the story approaches It's climax, Blue is feverishly involv- ed in the dual endeavor of saving his train from destruction and saving his pal from the gallows.

Other Ocean Flights
 By Huge Dirigibles

Friedrichshafen, Germany, May 1s N-Just seven months ago yester. day, the dirigible Graf Zeppelin landed at Lakehurst, N. J., complet- ing an ocean voyage similar to that begun today.
 That October flight was the first commercial airship journey across the Atlantic. and it was . journey fraught with peril, . long battle against the elements that was . glor- ious victory for human courage and ability.
 The Graf Zeppelin left Friedrich shafen at a. m., New York time, on Oct. II, expecting to make the trip in 80 to S5 hours despite threat ening cyclonic areas over the At. lantic.
 That Damaged Fin
 But tt was blown far south of it's course and it bucked headwinds that ripped the covering from one of its rear fins and left a hole in the ships side which let the tempest roar into the great bag and threaten to burst it like . toy balloon.
 At that point, as the dirigible hung in the stormy sky, crippled and al- most at the complete mercy of the winds,> human courage of the type more commonly associated with the old ships that sailed tho waters rather than with the modern ones that ride the clouds. saved the day.
 Four members of the crew, includ- ing Knud Bckener. son of Dr. Hugo Eckener, the Graf's designer and commander, climbed out on the steel framework of the broke fin aud in flashing gale high above the reach- ing waves they made emergency re. pairs that enabled the Graf to reach her destination. Lakehurst was reached Ill hours and 3s minutes after the take-on in Germany.

Previous Crossings


 Before the Graf Zeppelin made its first round trip across the ocean there had been three crossinss of the North Atlantic by dirigibles- In 1s1S the British R-34 made round trip and in 1s24 the Los Angeles was flown from Friderichshafen as an in- stalment on war reparation pay ments by Germany to the United States.
 The R-3t. with g persons aboard. made the westward trip in 10s hours. The Los Angeles made 1t in s1 hours and IT minutes, | record still standing for the westward flight for diriEibles though the Graf made better time on its eastward flight. The Los Angeles had s1 persons aboard. The R-34 took 75 hours for its return flight to England.
 Most Serious Accident
 The most serious accident on any of the dirigible flights 70 far was that to the fin of the Graf Zeppelin last October. There was no accident on the Los Angeles- and the R-34 round trip was marred only by the tearing of one gas cell. This. was discovered and repaired before there was any serious danger.
 On two of the five ocean crossings by dirigibles there have been stow aways. The R-34 brought a stow- away over in 1919 and the Graf Zeppelin took one back last year. A stowaway was discovered on the Graf at Friedrichshafen May 13 and elected.
 There have been animals on all the flights. A tortoise shell cat came over on the R-34 and q pigeon was carried when 1t started back. A canary made last years round trip on the Graf as a canary rode the Los Angeles from Germany A gor- fila is aboard the Graf on its pres ent trip.
