GIANT AIRSHIP
LANDS SAFELY
Never Had Bump All Way
across Ocean Is Report
Of Director
ny II. W.

ST. HUBERT AIRPORT, Mont
real Aug. 1--P9-The biggest air.
ship the world has ever known, the
British dirigible RICO, completed
its first transatlantic crossing to-
day. DELAYED and somewhat damag-
ed b. storms, but completely
triumphant after its first great
trial.
Three days or more ago, at GAS
(. S. T., on Monday night, the R-lO0
lifted from the ground at Carding-
ton, Eng, and pointed its blunt
nose across the sea. At 4.56 a. m.
this morning. almost 10 hours after
its departure, it was secured TO the
mooring mast erected here especial
~ for its use.
1t would have made a far faster
trip but stormy weather. encount-
cred after it had crossed the ocean
and was on the last leg OF its flight
here, ripped the fabric covering OF
one fin. The hurt was slight and
was repaired In the air. but time
lost while the ship was hove 70 over
Quebec prevented a landing before
dark last night and no attempt was
made TO moor until morning.
Officers interviewed in the mast
Immediately after mOoring, said the
damage was trivial and would not
late any change in the ships
schedule, which calls for several
flights about Canada during the
next ten days before lt starts hack
across the sea for home.
Handles With Ease
In length the RICO Is between
the American Los Angeles and the
German Graf Zeppelin, but IN grin
and cubic capacity. II IS Tar larger
than either. Yet, II was handled IN
the air during the mo0ring opera
ton with as much apparent ease as
a tiny blimp and when its nose was
mast al the top OF the mast and
ropes frJm sides and rear were
secured to the ground. it floated as
gently in the morning sun as a
vance on peaceful water.
We never had a bump all the
way across the Atlantic ocean and
everything went perfectly until we
got to Father Point" said Sir Den
ninstoun Burney, director Of air
craft development and designer Of
the dirigible. as the ship was moor
ed.
Then we ran into q bad bump
and the jar tore the fabric On a
stab.lizing fin. But the damage was
temporarily repaired and was negli-
gible."
Sir Dennistoun. Major Q. II. Scott,
assistant director OF airship devel-
opment. Squadron Leader r. s.
Booth. captain OF the RICO and
Squadron Leader Johnston. navig-
ating officer. talked OF the flight as
soon as the ship was made fast.
There were still five tons Of fuel
left aboard the R-l00 when she
hooked onto the mast here.
The most valuable thing learned
on the trip. the officers believed.
was that the airship was the most
comfortable means OF transporta-
~i-c. The course over the north
Atlantic they regarded as the mos
feasible for commercial use II larg-
er ships are used.
1T was q very good test OF the
ships ability Sir DenD.stUUn said.

Gas RULING

In all probability the Public
Utilities Commission will not ap-
peal from the decision of Justice
Alfred A. Wreat Wednesday in the
Washington Gas Light Company
case, it was said at the commits
sion's offices today.
Justice Wheat held that there
was no violation of the La Toilette
anti-merger act of 1918 in the
purchase of a majority stock
interest by the Seaboard Invest
ment Trust of Boston. He denied
the Public Utilities Commission's s
petition for an order to the Sea
board Trust to dispose of it's
gas company holdings.
The anti-merger act prohibits
any foreign holding corporation
or public utilities corporation
from holding more than 20 per
cent of the stock of a District
utility.
Previous to filing the plea for
an order, an investigation of the
sale was made by the Depart
ment of Justice and it was found
that the Seaboard Investment
Trust was organized for the sole
purpose of defeating the act, it
is alleged by the commission.

6, IS SHOT
AFTER WOMEN
ARE WOUNDED

ROMNEY, w. Va. Jan. 81
The fourth day of the trial in
circuit court here of Walter
Crabtree, who is charged with
the murder of three local resi-
dents last December 18, closed
yesterday with the announce
ment by the prosecution that the
Introduction of evidence had
practically been concluded and
Indicated that it would be pre-
pared to turn the case over to
the defense today.
The entire court session Thurs
day was devoted to the taking of
testimony by the State. Nine
teen witnesses occupied the stand
during the day, including the
widows of Justice of the Peage H.
Carter Inskeep and Jailer Ben H.
Miller, two of Crabtree'S victims.
Another witness for the State was
Judge G. K. Kump, regular jurist
Of this district, who resided at
the Inskeep home and who was
instructed by the murderer to
call Magistrate Inskeep to ohe
door after the judge himself WAS
reused by Crabtree's summons.
Heard Shot
Judge Kump related events to
the jury which occurred a short
time later, hearing the firing
and the victim call.
The State did not touch upon
&Ha oF FHy,a hfroo'c T0ifU
The examination of witnt SSes fol
lowed two we'll defined lines. The
first following closely Crabtree' 5
course on his tour OF death
wherein he first killed Edward
Wolford, wounded two women in
the Wolford home, then wound
ing 6-year-old Ruth Holt, with
the murders of Inskeep and Mil
Ter following at close intervals.
All of his victims were shot at
close range, physicians testified.
The second line of testimony
concerned the statements of fel-
low workmen Who had heard
Crabtree making threats against
public officials. including llskeep
and Miller. The fellow workers
who testified were: Frank Haines,
H. v. Biser, Russell Buckalew.
Ralph Sanders and S. G. 10y.
Sheriff TestifieS
Among others who testified
during the day was State Trooper
Joe Jorne, who told of following
the murderer's trail and his sub
sequent arrest, and ex-Sheriff r.
B. Ruckman, who testified that
the slayer talked in a peculiar
manner shortly after the shoot
ing and insisted that he had
killed only two men. Crabtree's
conversation en- route to the Key
ser jail that morning was also
unusual, he said.
Florence Corbin, 18. was the
first witness for the State, and
she told the jury that Crabtree
came to her home after she had
retired and was alone at 2:15 a.
M, several hours before the
shooting, and he so annoyed ner
that she was compelled to flee
to the Wolford home nearby for
protection.
Shot Two Women
Mrs. Carrie Wright who resides
at the Wolford home. took up
the story there and told how she
endeavored to demonstrate with
Crabtree whose answer was three
shots, one of which was fatal to
Edward Wolford and the others
injuries to Mrs. Wright and Mrs.
Grave Wolford.
The jury which will decide
Crabtree's fate is made up of
six farmers, two merchants, two
mechanics and two orchardists.
None of the jurymen reside in
Romney proper.

Of the dangerous illness of the King.
FRANCE.-For France, economically,
the year 1929 was "roses, roses, all the
way" Or almost. Production in almost
every category notably increased. Home
trade doomed, unemployment was prac-
tically non-eXistent, revenues greatly
exceeded estimates and previous years
records. The Bank of France continued
almost uncannily to improve its posi-
ton.
When I said almost" I was thinking
Of the foreign trade, and little of the
marked decline in the total spent by
American tourists. The visible foreign
trade balances of the first six months
were so greatly adverse as to cause
some uneasiness, but this faded before
analysis The large increase Of imports
was explained by increase Of demand
for raw materials OF manufacture in
satisfaction of the home market, and
the slight decrease of export was SIM
ilarly explainable by the domestic Vo-
raciousness, and from July to October,
inclusive. the balances improved pro-
greSSively, the October balance being
adverse by the merest trifle. (The No.

some recession, but satisfactory ex-
PLANTATION may be forthcoming To
be sure, the improvement is attributable
not to permanent causes, but to ma
lures whimsical bounty. The wheat
harvest was magnificent, suspending
wheat importation for twelvemonth.
Economically, 1t was a splendid year,
with the on1ens favorable.

agreements providing for funding the

and the United States governments.

French sacrifice in respect Of reim-
bursement for outlay on reconstruction
of the devastated area, the Young plan
probably represents the limit of Ger
man voluntary acquiescence; probably
no more satisfactory arrangement was
achievable. Despite the disillusion-
ment, "finis" to the uncertainty sounds
almost as pleasantly in French as in
German ears. and the way seems open
to a general Franco-German rapproche-
ment.
The year saw a serious crisis in do
nestle politics, happily ended by the
arrival" of Andre Tardieu. His con-
duct as premier justifies the highest
hopes for his future career; the mantle
OF Polncare seems to have fallen on
younger man of equal ability and
perhaps in closer sympathy with the
spirit Of the changing age. The year
saw the retirement probably permanent,
from public Office of that superb patriot,
Poincare, than whom few, If any, have
rendered more valuable service to the
state And 1t saw the passing of the
two chief figures of the World War
Foch and Clemenceau.
