day were cut to Is when Allen Miller
of New York and the Mr.. Charming"
who booked passage from Bern, failed

cancellation which had not been re-

Among the passengers were Capt. Sir
George Hubert wilkins. Polar explorer;
Prof Geogoire Gourevitch and his wife.
Rene Froyssart Gourevitch, a Russian
pianist of Paris. and DR. Walter Speiss
of the German ministry of traffic. Two

be prepared by the new chef, Otto

The passengers spent the night be-
fore the take-oh in the hotel at Fried

in anticipation of the trip today. DR..
Eckener asked them to go to bed early
that there might be no delay In de-
parture of the ship to await late ar

fewer were admitted to the inside OF

Continued From First Page)
the Presidents party first visited the
camp the approach was so bad that the
visitors had to leave the White House
cars for f1ivvers. Eventually they hao
to go on by horseback.
They were also forced to ford several
small streams and creeks. Since then,
however, the State and county authorl-
ties have done some little work TO I'M
prove the approaches and have pro-
yided crude bridges over the creeks.
Merely Tracks.
The basic trouble is that the dirt
roads were not built for. the traffic that
the Presidents sojournS at the camp
imposes. The roads are little better
than beaten tracks. With the Army
Engineer School at Fort Humphreys fur
nishing instruction in road building, 1t
was decided, this training might well
be used to put the roads into shape.
The move will be considered a proper
function of the Government because
the camp lies in the Shenandoah Ma
tional Park. The approach will be one
of the main entrances for tourist tratilc.
The plan will provide for sturdier
roadbed, widening of the roads and
draining so that the roadway will not be
undermined by rains. There are two
crushers on the job and an abundance
of rocks has been rolled down the
mountain. These will be broken up
and eventually will be used in building
a macadam road.
A Picturesque Spot.
In the region about the Hoover camp
is some beautiful scenery. Northwest
o. the camp, between Front Royal and
New Market, is picturesque mountain
fishing and camping ground.
The Presidents camp is little more
than four hours by automobile from
Washington. The preferred route in
cludes Alexandria, Fairfax, Warrenton,
Culpeper, Boston, Slate Mills, Peola
Mills to Criglersville. 1t is also possible
to go from Culpeper to Madison, Banco
to Criglersville.
The Virginia State Highway Com
mission is working on only two jobs in
the area, one northeast and the other
southeast of Criglersville. Between
Culpeper and Madison Hills, just south
of the route to Hoover's camp, the
roadway Is being graded and leveled.
From washington, Va, to Sperryville,
north of the route to the camp, the
state lob consists of shortening the
road. There are many dirt roads run
ming through this region in the Shen-
andoah Park, and program Of i'm
provement upon them has been planned
in conferences with State and Federal
authorities The headquarters of the
park development work is at Elkton.

PRESENCE OF STOWAWAY
ON ZEPPELIN DOUBTED
Witness Not Sure He Actually Saw
One-Graf Radio Makes No
Mention of Him.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
FRIEDRICHSHAFEN any,
August There was much conjecture
at the Zeppelin works today as to
whether a StowaWay was actually
aboard the air liner, particularly as no
mention OF him has been made in any
messages received thus far from the
dirigible.
man who claimed to have seen the
stowaway jump aboard the ship wavered
in his testimony today and when hard
pressed admitted that he was not sure
he actually saw him.
For seven hours after the take-off
nothing was heard directly from the
Graf leading to fears that the radio
might have been damaged when the
stowaWay was reported to have boarded
the ship but this fear was relieved
when the first message was received at
1890 this morning.
