iority in another week. Then the entire senatorial membership will be given an opportunity to study the whole bill, as rewritten, before the debate begins in September.
 Some senators, like Borah of Idaho, western republican indepen- dent will be heard from frequent ly in the impending struggle. They believe there is no chance of send ing the bill 10 the president before the regular session begins in Sep tember. Watson of Indiana, the ma jority floor leader, however thinks it will be out of the way for some time before then, while Senator Simmons of North Carolina, rank ing democrat on the finance con- mittee, has forecast mid November as the time of it's approval by con- gress. %r.
 Democrats have promised not to delay the measure unduly, but no one knows what the outcome will be should they and the republican independents who hold the balance of power combine in an effort to keep the revision limited to their own desires.
 Controversial Points
 Despite the disapproval of the export debenture and stock transac- tion tax proposals as amendments 10 the bill by the finance commit tee republicans, these riders un- douhtedy will be discussed at length on the floor. These contro- vers es alone may take several weeks
 Among the important changes in rates approved by the finance ma- jority are:
 Reduction of the house tariff on Cuban raw sugar from 2.4O cents pound to 220 cents. The present rate is 1.76 cents.
 Elimination of the three-cent in crease voted by the house in the duty on raw wool leaving it at 8 cents a pound.
 Increases in the house duties on wool wastes, cotton textiles, agri- cultural products.
 Reduction of the present rate on automobiles and trucks and buses of the lighter type. The house did not change this duty.
 Restoration to the free list of shingles and cedar lumber which the house made dutiable, and the transfer to the free list of man. ganese ore and logs, existing rates on which were not disturbed by the house.
 Increases in the house leather duties and retention of the pro- posed duties of hides and shoes, all of which are now admitted free ex- cept a few kinds of leather.

with disaster
 They landed at Alberca airdrome near here, with so little ostentation that it was two days later before residents generally knew of their presence or their intention to begin here a transatlantic flight attempt. They conducted the preparations for their flight in secret. refusing to talk about them with the explana- tion that it would be better to do and then talk, than to talk and not do.
 Announced Plan Yesterday
 Yesterday they let it be known to a few friends they had made here that they intended to begin their flight attempt this morning. At 3 a. m. they left their hotel and drove the 45 kilometers to Juncal where they had moved their plane, and where their friend and mechanic, Tschopp, was waiting for them.
 En route they stopped at a res taurant and bought food for their journey, vacuum bottle filled with coffee, quantity of milk, IS sand wiches, and come eggs and choco- late. They also have with them an apparatus to distill sea water.
 The coarse laid out for them by the two Swiss fliers from Lisbon to Halifax, via Azores, was something in excess of 5000 miles, of which about $50 miles represent the flight to Horta. It was their first inten- ton to land in the Azores if they found their fuel supply would be insufficient for the venture, but when the government informed them the landing field there was not in shape for them to come down, they announced they would return if that contingency arose.
 Both Pliers Youthful
 The fliers possibly are the young est ever to attempt such a bold ven- ture, kaesar being 22 and Luescher q. Their plane had a load of G50 gallons of petrol. It carried besides q small pneumatic boat, rubber suits, and apparatus enabling men to remain under water for five minutes.
 Neither of the two aviators has had much experience, both having made their debut in aviation in 1927.

Germany, Thursday, 4:34 a. m. 1u:- 34 ?. m.. Wednesday. E. s. ID
 Marks second Iaps End

Germany, Thursday, ASA a. m. (1u:- 34 ?. m., Wednesday, E. s. ID Marks Second Laps End The appearance over Tokyo mark cd unofficially at least. end of the second lap of the Zcppelin's round- the world tour which began at Lake, hurst, N. J., 16:30 p. m.. E. S. T., Wednesday August with the first lap completed Saturday Aug. 10 at 1908 a. ni., with landing at Fried : richshafen. The 4,so0 miles was GOV cred in 55 hours and 24 minutes. Ahead of the Graf Zeppelin lay two more laps before completion of it's world tour, from Tokyo to Los Angeles-which as the Graf flies should be about 5,,70 miles-an from Los Angeles to Lakehurs:. about 2.5Oo miles, or 1870 miles total.
 The average speed of the Zeppelin from Friedrichshafen to Tokyo wes just in excess of GA miles an hour. This, when it is considered that but three of the dirigible's five motors were kept running during most of the trip, was exceptionally good and about 15 miles per hour in excess of what Dr. Hugo Eckener, the Zep- pelin's master had estimated It would make.
 Aboard the Zeppelin were 50 per- sons, 40 crew and officers and 20 passengers of whom Lady Grace Drummond Hay was the only wont an. With the exception of a. knick- knack or two. including 2 bust nf Baron Ehrenfried von HuenefelJ. there was no freight other than 50,- 900 pieces of mail, the revenue from which brought the Zeppelin nearly as many dollars.
 Circles Airdrome
 The Zeppelin's sighting over Tok- yo occurred just 45 minutes after 1t circled the giant Japanese hangar at Kasumiguara, the Japanese naval air station. The dirigible remained but a few moments over Kasumt- gaura and then headed for Tokyo, capital of the land of the rising sun, to while away the hours until evening when the expected drop in would permit landing.
 Rain and fog on the last 500 miles of her journey brought a slight al iteration in the Zeppelins course an1 delayed its arrival several hours be- yond sanguine early estimates. Aft CT leaving the Siberian mainland she flew we'll down the west coast of northernmost of the maIa islands of the Japanese group.
 At point about $50 miles from her goal and slightly east of Cape kamui, Dr. Eckener requested per mission of the communications min- istry to alter his course because of bad weather conditions in the direc- ton of Saido Islands, west of Hon. shu.
 He asked to cross the southwest ern arm of 'okkaido in the direc- tion of Shiriya on the main islan1. He then followed the eastern coas. of Honshu down to the capital, passing over Shiogama, at 1:3O D. m. 1 (11:4o p. m.) to the hangar await Ing the ship, 40 miles away. The permission was given immediately.
 Radio Worked Well
 Throughout the Graf's flight from | Friedrichshafen communication was maintained almost constantly with | either European stations, Asiatic | or finally Japanese stations, 70 that hardly for an hour was any one unaware of the Zeppelins locu- .ion. Most of the messages from aboard the Graf were signed "all's we'll aboard"

 HUNDREDS WATCH
(Continued From First Page)

German and Japanese engineers aho had bc-.i waiting to go over the Grafs' engines and replenish her stores silently got to work to pre- pare her for her trans Pacific flight
 Before landing at Kasumigaura ,ield, the Graf made courtesy flight ever Tokyo and Yokohama to sa,.s- fy the curiosity Of the people of the Japanese capital. It was a spec tacle never before witnessed in the Orient.
 Dr. Eckener will probably make another flight over Tokyo before starting across the Pacific. The German embassy expected him to pass over the two-told bridge which marks the entrance 10 the imperial palace as gesture of courtesy to he emperor.
 By a coincidence the Graf was housed in hangar built by German separations money.
 Crowds Watch Ship
 Blasts of sirens and factory whistles announced that the Zeppelin had been sighted over Tokyo. Crowdn of office workers and others i'm mediately swarmed into the streets, clambered onto the roofs, and took up whatever points of vantage offer ed.
 Ten minutes later the great air. ship with it's escort of eight planes lowering about like flies about ar elephant. appeared over the centra! part of the city. low enough so that the gondolas and the words "Graf Zeppelin" appeared clearly ,isiLle.
 Comparatively little cheering was heard, but the crowds clapped their hands and waved as the giant vessel passed overhead, and disa appeared in ,he direction of Yokohama. It re- turned 2h minutes later and headed hack ao kasumigaura to be bcrthed.
 News Creates Enthusiasm
