In informing representatives of
the press after he had left the king
that dissolution had been decided
upon, Mr. Macdonald said:
"I am sorry events have turned
'out as they have, but every one
knows the situation is not one of
the government’s seeking, but has
been forced upon it. Personally, I
should have been very gjad if the
labor government had been allow
ed to carry on its policy, a policy
which I maintain has been one of
honest politics and of the promo
tion of the interests of the com
monwealth."
The premier said the govwn
ment would have preferred to save
the country the expense of another
general election, but shrugging his
shoulders, he add: .
"That is the situation and there
it is ”

TO LIFE IN PRISON

his first plea for electrocution.

the death of Kite resulted from
jealousy on Hughes’ part. Hughes,
in his statement, declared that
Kite had threatened hid life and
had made an attempt to kill him
with a bottle. It was brought out
in the state's evidence that Hughes
hit Kite with a wrench, which was

loom FOR
SAN DIEGO
FORT WORTH, Texas—The
Shenandoah, delayed for forty
five minutes Thursday morn
ing on account of taking on
supplies, sailed westward from
Fort Worth at 9: SO a. m.
The ship sailed over Fort
Worth and suburbs for 20
minutes before heading west.
It is expected to reach El Paso
at 6 p. m.
WEATHERFORD, Texas—
The Shenandoah was sighted
to the east and south of
Weatherford.at 10:35 a. m.
FORT WORTH, Texas. With
the advent of favorable weather
the next lap on the history making
flight of the United States naval
dirigible Shenandoah was sched
uled to begin Thursday at 9 a. m.
Central Standard time with San
Diego, Cal., as Its next stopping
place.
As the pioneers of old blazed the
trail across the trackless plains of
the continent, so ia the Shenan
doah blazing the trail for lighter
than air type of craft, for it is the
first dirigible ever to land west of
the Mississippi river. There have
been several of the non-rigid types
of airships to visit the ceneral
west but naval men declare that
the Shenandoah Is the first rigid
type to do so.
The Shenandoah, which in the
language of the child, Is the “pet”
of the aero department of the
United States navy, because it
was designed and built by Ameri
can naval men in America, is now
embarked upon the most extended
cruise ever attempted by a dirig
ible. The ship will traverse three
sides of the United States begin
ning Its journey at Lnkehurst, N.
J.-, crossing the United States to
the south and following the Pacific
coast as far north as Camp Lewis
at Lake "View, Washington.
TO MAKE JUMPS OF
1,400 MILES EACH
The trip will bo made in jumps
of approximately 1,400 miles each,
tho return journey to be made by
the same route. At San Diego anil
at Lake View, mooring masts have
been erected especially to rare for
the huge ship while visiting there
though the present plans only call
for an overnight stop at each of
the places, Lieutenant Commander
Zachary Lansdowne, commander
of the flight, declared.
The craft probably will arrive In
El Paso Thursday night between 9
p. m. and midnight, mountain time,
but will continue on to San Diego.
The first leg of the flight end
ing at Forth Worth was unusually
successful, Rear Admiral W. A.
Moffett, chief of the bureau of na
tional lioronautics who is the of
ficial observer of the trip declar
ed. The ship made the jump from
Lnkehurst to Fort Worth in ap
proximately 34 hours, arriving
here about eight hours ahead of
sriieduie. The actual performance
of the ship was in all respects bet
ter than the schedule, Admiral
Moffett said. Her speed was fast
er, fuel consumption less, neither
personnel nor mechanism met with
accident and the ship passed
through a touch of rough weather
in Louisiana without a trenier the
admiral said.
According to the record of the
engineers, less than one gallon of
gasoline was used a mile The
ship Is propelled by five six cyl
inder motors, each of three hun
dred horse power. Tho quantity
of lubricating oil ffas too small to
be of rerord though the motors
maintained an average engine
speed of 1,000 revolutions a m!i>-
ute. During the flight 1,000 gallons
of water were recovered by means
of condensers from the gasoline
consumed in the motors. The wa
ter ballast thus manufactured was
heavier than the gasoline which it
replaced.
