Tuesday, neither of them had yet | taken the stand as the battle for , control of the Elk Hills naval oil ■ reserves swung into its second week today. Testimony by Josephus Daniels, ; secretary of the navy under Wood- : row Wilson, had been looked for ■ early in the trial, in view of accusa- > tions made against him in the open- ! ing statement of Frank J. Hogan, chief defense counsel, to the effect that during Daniels’ administration the Standard Oil company was per- i mitted to drill wells at the boundary of naval reserve No. 1 and to drain the resources of that territory with- • out molestation. It was announced ■ last night, however, by Owen J. ' Roberts, of government counsel, that it was by no means certain that i Daniels would be called, as “until ; the ease is further advanced it wi’l not be possible to determine wheth er his testimony will be needed.” The other former secretary of the navy, who attended the opening ses sion of the trial, was Edwin Denby, during whose administration the Pan-American leases and contracts were awarded. He also is here await ing call to the witness stand. Taking of testimony was to be re sumed in federal court today at 2 p. m., with Edward C. Finney, as sistant secretary of the interior, on the stand. Finney, who was hold ing his present position when Al bert B. Fall was secretary of the in terior, testified last week that Fall began almost immediately after tak ing office in March, 1921, to seek : information on naval oil reserves, although it was more than two I months before President Harding transferred control of the reserves from the navy department to the department of the interior.

I EIGHT BOM SHIPS CAPTURED IN CHASE: FLEET IS SCmO BOSTON, Oct. 27. —The rum rows off Cape Cod and Cape Ann were i scattered today as a result of their j first major engagement with the j prohibition enforcement navy and eight prizes were tied up at docks I here and at Gloucester and New ; London, Conn., with more than a score of prisoners. The coast guard cutter Tampa yesterday brought into Boston harbor the New Foundland two-masted schooner Marjorie E. ! Bachman, rum laden, and five I American motorboats. Another mo torboat was taken into Gloucester and one into New London. I The eight prizes, with their crews and contraband liquor, valued at j SIOO,OOO, represented a week's oper ’ ations of the Tampa, assisted by a squadron of fast rum chaser* off j Block Island, Cape Cod and Cape < Ann. The captured vessels were ; taken in a running battle Friday in which the Tampa used her threc inch guns and pursued a scattering rum fleet for more than an hour near Stellwagon Banks, 20 miles off ! the coast, at a point half way be tween Capes Cod and Ann. In the fleet of rum ships were more than a dozen vessels, according to coast guard officers, including several British and French crafts. A num ber of American motorboats plying between rum row and the shore were surprised by the raiders. Some of the speedier vessels dis regarded warning shots from the Tampa and on these the smaller boats of the enforcement fleet open ed fire with machine guns and rifles. Numerous chases proceeded l in the haze of the early morning, j None of the rum vessels returned j the coast guard fire. Officers said that. more of the rum fleet could have been captured had the coast guard force been willing to fire di rectly at their quarry. The Marjorie E. Bachman is a new vessel, registered from St Johns. N. F. She carried SSO cases of liquor, valued at $30,000.

ARGONAUTS OF SKY Record Flight Proves Storms and Mountain Ranges Hold No Terror for Giant Dirigi ble Cruisers (When the navy air cruiser Shenandoah was hauled to earth to Lakehurst, N. .1., after her trail-blazing flight to the l‘acifie coast and return, Junius B. Wood, selected by the navy department as the sole news paper correspondent to make the trip, laid aside his role ot reporter-to-the-world-at largtf and again became the special corre spondent of The Atlanta Journal and the Chicago Daily News. In today's exclusive dispatch he presents a graphic description ot ihe epochal flight and tells of the many lessons the navy learned from it.) BY JI NILS B. WOOD (Staff Correspondent of The Journal and the Chicago Daily News.) WASHINGTON, Oct. 27.—That the air is an uncharted void was thoroughly realized by the officers who piloted the navy airship Shen andoah on its pioneer voyage across the United States and return. To those who had previous submarine duty the experience was similar to navigation under trackless waves. Following a course, even by day, over populated parts of the country dotted by towns and criss-crossed by highways, railroads and streams was difficult, while by night clustered lights of villages, the distant glow of others on the black horizon and occasional flares of automobiles or locomotives passing far below told little of the location. At times fogs by day covered the sarth like a frozen sea, and clouds veiled the moon at. night until the familiar earth 3,000 feet below was indistinguishable. Air Lessons Learned Records were made on the cruise and lessons were learned. One lesson was that charts or maps, beacons or signboards to guide the traveler are all for voyaging on the surface, whether of water or of land. Except for the route of the transcontinental mail flyers, the United States is largely uncharted for aerial navigation. In the course of its cruise twice around three sides of the United States, only one city was sighted with its name painted on a. roof in massive letters which could be seen from the sky. Each town was different by day and each was a different silhouette against the black ground at night, but there are no charts of the air to identify the landmarks. The cruise of the Shenandoah demonstrated that the Rocky moun tains are not a barrier to airships be tween the Atlantic and the Pacific. It also demonstrated that despite the gales which eddy around their peaks, and head winds which are liable to he met across the plains and along Ihe coast, an airship, much as it. is buffeted by Ihe elements, can make the journey faster than an express train. Voyaging by airship is in its in fancy. and, as it improves, as have other forms of transportation, larg er ships will be built, time will be reduced and signs will look upward for the visitor from the skies as others now do for the traveler on the surface. New Mooring Masis Planned If the enthusiasm of the Pacific coast for the Shenandoah is echoed in other parts of the United States, mooring masts will spring up like flagpoles. Every city will have a mooring mast for air liners. In San Francisco, a movement already has been started. During the voyage hundreds of requests came to Lieu tenant Commander Zachary Lans down, captain of the Shenandoah, to fly past or linger over different cities and villages. One city seriously ad vised that the failure of the Shenan doah to make a visit might embar rass the administration at the com ing election. As many of the re quests were acceded to as possible without delaying ths vovase. If all had been granxe'r, rne Shenan doah would be zig-zagging across the United States for the next six months. Conclusive demonstration of the in fluence of winds on the speed of the ship and the handicaps enforced in return for the safety factor from us ing non-combustible helium gas is given by the record of time between different ports. The detailed figures in hours and minutes, showing the net time in flights between the cities, the actual time "until making fast at the next mast and the time at the mast in each city, after leaving Lakehurst. N. J., October 10 at 10 a. m., are as follows: Figures on Flight In Flight In Air Moored To Fort Worth. 36:45 38:05 10:41 To San Diego.. .39:14 41:14 128:15 To Camp Lewis. 47:15 57:55 1 6:55 To San Diego.. .39:55 47:35 23:25 To Fort Worth. 36:25 37:22 8:06 To Lakehurst .35:28 36:27 * T0ta15235:02 258:38 187:22 Th e outbound voyage was made in 123 hours and 14 minutes while the return voyage required only 111 j hours and 47 minutes. If prevailing! winds had been as usual from the ( west the difference would have been . greater. They are uncertain at this season I of the year, and suclden changes fre- i quently changed the ship’s speed,' from 35 to 75 miles an hour, or vice versa. The difference between the net; sailing time between ports and the' time between landings was due! either to the difficulty in locating the mast on account of fogs or lack of signs or r ; u e to the use of helium. About ten per cent of the sailing time was used in this way. It amounted to 23 hours and 27 min utes. The quickest mooring was made in 57 minutes on the return voyage to Fort Worth. Cost of Helium Helium at a cost of from $55 to' S6O per 1.000 cubic feet is too pre-' clous to valve in gasps of hundreds; of thousands of cubic feet in order ■ finds someone in legislature had in i eluded Surry county among those ; authorized and required by special | law to operate Australian balloting ! system. Representatives of county 'in legislature deny this responsi- . ! bility.

DURHAM. James Farris, of ■ High Point, is elected president of senior class of Trinity college. GASTONIA.— Mrs. Eliza Devine, I 70, dies at hospital, where she was ' | taken after being hit at railway I crossing at. Gover by Southern rail : \ way passenger train. to make a landing. Hydrogen gas lis comparatively expensive. In or i der to save helium, landing must be : made in the chill of darkness when I the ship is heavy. For the same reason, departures of the heavily j loaded ship are made in the morn ing after the gas had received the : superheat from the sun. But. for this, the Shenandoah could have i dropped down to a mast, resupplied itself with gas, fuel and food and been away again in two or three hours. In the long stop in San Diego 120 hours were used in mak ing repairs. The lifting buoyancy of helium also is around 10 per cent less than that of hydrogen, reduc ing the carrying capacity of the ship to that extent. The Shenandoah further is bur dened by 20 per cent increased weight to secure structural stability. Shenandoah made history. It blazed the way for aerial navigation in the future by showing that the highest of mountains are surmountable. Com forts, improvements and new meth ods will come as they have to the automboile ana aeroplane in com paratively few years. The voyage just completed is considered by aero nautical authorities as conclusive demonstration of the safety and con venience of airships for passenger and commercial transportation. (Special Cable to The Atlanta Journal and SHENANDOAH AND ZR-3 REST SIDE BY SIDE IN HANGAR LAKEHURST, N. J., Oct. 27. America’s two .great dirigibles, the Shenandoah and the ZR-3, berthed together in a hangar that could ac commodate a third big airship, were seen today by more than 50,000 vis itors. The Shenandoah returned to her hangar after a trip of 9,000 miles to the I’aeific coast and back. Commander Zachary Lansdowne, at his home this afternoon, said the continental cruise proved that ex penditure of large sums for hangars was unnecessary. They are no more to an airshin than a drydock is to a steamship, he said, being merely places to go for overhauling and re i pairs. The successful use of mooring masts shows that a dirigible can be away from home as long as she must, he continued, expressing also his opinion that a second hangar on the Pacific coast would be sufficient for all needs.

K. j‘. The second man to succumb to the t mysterious malady, Walter Dymock, of Elizabeth, died at Reconstruction hospital last night. No announce ment of the fatality was made by the hospital authorities. The first vic tim, Ernest Oelgert, Jr., also of Eliza beth, died there before he could be removed to the hospital. T. L. Lewis, superintendent of Re construction hospital, early today re fused to give any information con cerning the condition of the sur vivors of the mysterious ailment, and made no announcement of the death of Dymock. News of DymOck’s death was obtained at his home in Eliza beth. The Standard Oil company issued a statement which said that the men had become “seriously ill” while at work in the Elizabeth laboratory last week. For weeks, the company’s an nouncement said, these five men had been experimenting with chemicals and gases “in an effort to find a substance which could be success fully used with straight gasoline to overcome certain inherent difficulties of motor car operations.” < Dr. Joseph Funk, who treated Oel gert, reported that his death was due to contiitued inhalation of a gas used in connection with ethylene, which recently has come into wide use as an anaesthetic. William McSweeney, Herbert Fu son and William Grerge, all of Eliza beth, remain in Reconstruction hos pital. With Dymock, they were taken there Saturday after Oelgert had died. The gases were said to have affected all similarly—they lost weight, had hallucinations and de lirium. Dr. W. G. Thompson, of Recon struction hospital and a consultant of the Standard Oil company, said that the poisoning is entirely new to science. Insomnia, he said, was one of the first symptoms, and low blood pressure also was noted. The effect, he added, is somewhat simi lar to that which sometimes follow ed the use of certain poison gases during the war, but no special meth od of treatment has been evolved. It later was explained that the substance with which the 45 men employed in the laboratory had been working was a fluid which, when mixed with gasoline, was designed to retard the combustion rate of the fuel. All the workers were under daily medical obszervation during their employment in the laboratory, the company statement said, adding that all laboratory workers were un der instructions to wear gas masks at all times when they conducted ex periments.
