Perfectly Groomed
The dirigible has been perfectly

gineer from the Maybach said the
Crafts newly installed motors were
good for 1000 hours more flying.
Two courses have been plotted BY
Dr.. Eckener for the trip, which
probably will be the hardest the
giant Graf has been called upon tc
make. One Is a northern route
across Siberia and the other a SOU
thern route. The distance for each
Is about 5000 miles.
This distance DR.. Eckener expectr
to cover in about 100 hours. or five
flying days, or at an average speed
OF 55 miles an hour. The average
speed on the just completed east
ward crossing Of the Atlantic war
more than rs miles per hour.

There have been a number last

The attack on DR.. Guest was re-
inforced yesterday by the appearance
at the boards office of Edward
Hagerott. Morton county farmer. and
Mrs. Bertha Matthias. Hagerott's
daughter. They live about IS miles
from Bismarck and said they came
here to tell the board about their
experience with DR.. Guest during a
visit to Jamestown.
Unnecessarily Rough
Hagerott said Guest talked rudely
to his wife and was unnecessarily
rough In his manner. Mrs Matthias
said DR.. Guest had treated her rudely
when she had visited the institution
the year before. The Hagerotts had
a son who was pattern in the insti-
tuition at the time of their visits and
told of their experiences in some de-
tail. A transcript of their statements
was furnished to Knauf.
Hagerott said he decided tc volun-
teer his information when he read
in the newspaper Of the charges
against Guest.
A check of the records today dis
closed that DR.. Guest, was appointed
in 1921. was not assistant superin-
tendent for a time under DR.. William
Hotchkiss. his predecessor, as was pre-
viously reported. DR.. Guest served
as assistant superintendent under DR..
Moore, who preceded Hotchkiss.
