ting his inability to fly over Der lin Sunday, informed the Minister of Communications, that he hoped to arrive Saturday. The two lat est messages from the Graf indi- cated that she had swung in a northwesterly direction and had flown westward for thirty or forty miles, which seemed to bear out the theory that Eckner was eith- CT attempting to avoid local storm areas, or that the messa ges were misinterpreted, as everything thus far has pointed towards a good fast trip. While conditions are generally favorable, weather re- ports indicated that there were fog banks ahead and unfavorable winds between the Azores and Spain.

Landis, the government quashed all other indictments, and Berger was permitted to take his seat in Congress.
 "I have been called boss, czar and dictator" Berger once said. As early as 1893 a Mil waukee newspaper called for pub lie subscription to send me back to Germany, but it has never been said that I was dishonest.
 "Of the two leading parties Berger said: 'The Democrats and Republicans do not differ in any principle, and having no princi- pie to stand on, naturally become corrupt. I believe there is nee assity for a radical and for con servative party in this country. I predict that, when any radical party becomes strong in national affairs, the Democrats and Repub- licans will unite as they did in Milwaukee in local affairs. I am willing to go in with third par ty in a new alignment, and I on- ly hope such a thing will take place while I am still strong and able to work"
 Victor L. Berger was born Feb ruary 2S, 1860, at Nieder, Austria Hungary. He attended the gym nasia and Universities of Buda pest anl Vienna and took phil osophical course, majoring in his tory with political economy as a side line. In later years he said this was reversed, for in his life work he majored in political econ omy. He came to the United Stat es in 1878, arriving a few weeks before his family. When his fath- CT landed in America he had S1, 200. started in business in New York and lost his little fortune in six months. Meanwhile. the son had le., rned the trade of polisher, earning at first s5 a week. What was more important in his opinion, however. was the fact that he was acquiring a knowledge of the Eng fish ! nguage whi"h, in lat-r a-5 he spoke with rnly tt slightest trace of a foreign accent, His hobby was books and he ac- cumulated one of the largest pri- vate libraries on socialism and political economy in this country, totalling 5000 volumes
 In 1880, Berger travelled west 1 ward and settled in Milwaukee, 1 where he passed an examination entitling him to become a school teacher of German in the public

ana former Congressman ana editor of the Milwaukee Leader" | died this afternoon from injuries received on July 10th when struck by a streetcar here. Mir. Berger was sixty-nine years of age and suffered a relapse yesterday when it was thought he was on the road to recovery. Following, is sketch of his exciting and ex- tremely eventful life as submitted to the Nome Nugget by the (P):
 A debate which he won by argu- ing in favor of the single tax idea against Socialism was responsible for making a socialist of Victor Louis Berger, the first represen- | tative of that party to be elected to Congress. When young man while teaching school in Milwau- kee he read Henry Georges Pro gress and Poverty and became an ;ldent single tayer. Joining a | ';,'' t,l; debating sol y he was Ges enated on e. occasion to up htl the sing!c t41 idea agains a shoemaker spa'&.Es in favo' of sCr;s .sm. The iLn,s awarda l the decision to Berger, but he said in lis heart he felt hat ha had lost the argument and mada un his mind to study books on so- cialism.
 Before I knew it. l was a so- cialist," he said in later years. T did not join the party just at that time for there was none, but helped to start one.'
 Berger was another example of the immigrant hoy leaving his mark on his generation of Ameri- cans and achieving place of in fuence in his adopted land. From the time that friendly debate arous ed his interest in socialism. he ! became one of the most active leaders in its advancement. In 1890 he took over struggling German Socialist newspaper. the "Volkszeitung." and changed its | name to the "Wisconsin Vorwaer. ts". It had few readers and vir tually no advertising, but boasted of daily and Sunday editions. He met Eugene V. Debs in 1893 and always declared that he made Debs Socialist.
 The beginning of Berger's real rise in influence was in 1900. when he started an English weekly ill Milwaukee called the Social Dem {! ocrat Herald" It was successful from the start and in 1911 it be- came a daily, the name belne changed to the Milwaukee Lead er." Through its editorship Der, ger had a powerful influence in swinging Milwaukee into the SO | cialist column. AS early as 1904 the party had begun to carry some wards and to send members to the legislature. In 1910 it carried the city of Milwaukee. Berger was elected an alderman-at-large 1T April of that year, and member of the S;xty-second Congress 1T November. He was elected agair to the Sixty-sixth Congress in 1918 Berger was opposed to Ameri cas entry into the World War not because he was "pro-German. he insisted, but "as matter o
 principle" Nevertheless, iron late in 1917 to 1921. he was bar red from using the United State! mails, as was his newspaper. Let ters directed to him were return ed with the stamp: Mail to this address unbelievable under es pionage act.' He was indicted five times on charges growing ou1 of alleged acts of disloyalty anG was sentenced to 20 years in the penitentiary by former judge Ken esaw NJ. Landis in Federal Cour1 at Chicago.

HARR|SS DESCRIBES
DELIVERY METHODS.
Cotton Leaders Held More
Legislation on Futures Is
Not Needed at Present.
~ the Associated Press.

0y tne ASSOClhteu FTebS.
NORFOLK, Va, April Traditional
legislation to control future contracts
In cotton is not necessary at this
time in the opinion Of members of the
Atlantic Cotton Association, who yes
terday adopted resolution embodying
that belief, but at the time expressing
their willingness to cooperate in franz
ing legislation that may be deemed
necessary by Congress.
The resolution was contained in the
report of the future contracts commit
tee, of which B. T. Lowe of Augusta
Ga, is chairman, and was submitted
at the opening business session of the
sixth annual convention Of the associa-
ton, which convened at the Cavalier
Hotel, Virginia Beach, yesterday morn
ing.
The address of Richard T. Harriss,
formerly of Texas, but now Of New
York, former president of the New
York Cotton Exchange, on THE new
Southern Delivery Contract of the New
York Cotton Exchange" was regarded
by the delegates as the outstanding
event of the day. Mr.. HarriSs is one
of the few Southern men ever to head
the New York exchange, and Is regard
ed as one of the foremost authorities
on cotton in the country.
Mr.. Harriss expressed the belief that
the new contract, which recently was
adopted and will go into effect October
of this year. will prove beneficial to
shippers, merchants and manufacturers
alike. "And If, later on, deliveries at
New York should be placed on equal
terms with deliveries at Southern
ports" he said. 81 believe the New
York contract will constitute as nearly
q perfect hedge as can be devised for
q future contract"
The session, except for the address
Of Mr.. Harriss and that Of President
]. S. Billings of Albany. Ga, was taken
up largely in hearing routine reports.
