SENATORS LEAD, 1-0, IN FOURTH
Shenandoah to Reach Pacific Coast Today
Voyage of Huge
Craft Has Been
Thrilling Affair
LOS ANGELES.—The navy dirigible Shenan
doah passed over Gila, Arizona, at 9:37 a. m. Moun
tain Time, according to advices to the Southern !
Pacific Company here.
TUCSON, Aril.,—The U. S. She
nandoah passed over Tucson at
6:30 a. m. Mountain Time.
SAN DIEGO, Cal.—San Diego,
the rendexvous of daring airmen and
scene of many aircraft records was
awaiting the arrival of the Shenan
doah Friday. Reports received here
indicated the dirigible would be
locked to her mooring mast late
this afternoon. The novelty of a
visit from America's big dirigible
has been the inspiration for an
aerial circus which will start with
the arrival of the airship and end
when she floats into the sky for
Camp Lewis , along the Pacific
coast, on the last leg of her west
ward trip on Saturday afternoon.
Owing to the absence of mooring
masts, no stops will be made be
tween San Diego and Camp Lewis.
THRILLS A-PLENTY
DURING VOYAGE
U. S. SHENANDOAH.—Few
voyages in history have furnished
more thrills in as short a time as
the navigation of the first passes
of the Rocky Mountains by the
navy dirigible Shenandoah..
Driving ahead at a speed of 74
miles an hour with a wind that
roared through the tunnel-like
canyons, the giant craft at times
rose gradually until, between the
hicbr peaks it was at an altitude
of (I.Bon feet, following a new and
uncharter course with only a wind
ing ribbon of highway and a glis
tening black railway track as un
certain guide. At other times it
skimmed the ground so closely that
frequently Jagged mountains almost
walled in the leviathan of the skies.
TWISTS AND TURNS
LIKE GREAT BIRD
Before reaching the foot hills of
the Rocky Mountains the Shenan
doah passed over El Pasco Thurs
day night sailing over the moun
tains twisting, turning, rising, fall
ing like a great bird until the tor
tuous Rio Grande river glistened
ahead, the giant craft turned her
nose toward the city’s lights, hov
ered a while over the border oJLthe
metropolis and then sai’ed majesti
cally on leaving the Texas plains
behind at 7:50 p. m.
Soon the Shenandoah was In the
foothills of the Rockies and in a
few minutes mounted from an al
titude of 3.700 feet to 6,200 feet.
The ears and eyes of those on
board reacted to the rarified at
mosphere and the immense bag in
side the tubes, which has been only
partly full during the previous two
days cruise, were expanded and
straining against their net work of
cords. With every additional rise,
the air pressure diminished and
some expanding gas was released
to prevent bursting the bags.
PEAKS ASSUME
STRANGE SHAPES
The peaks, thrown into strange
shapes by the moonlight, seemed
to come forward to grasp the grace
ful intruder and then fall back.
The motors were driven through
the air with 1.000 horsepower and
the winds were straining at the
airship but like an ocean liner she
responded faithfully to her rud
ders, sometimes quivering but al
ways going swifthly and surely.
The roar of the wind on taut ear
drums was the only proof of the
hurricane over the mountain tops.
At Sierra Blanca, at 10:15 p. m.,
the Shenandoah had an altitude of
6,400 feet and her trailing shadow
below was registering 60 miles an
hour over the ground. Both roads
swung into a long curve , and she
followed with the wind whistling
against her sides. The rocky walls
stood away less than her length on
cither side but the motors drove
her forward and she obeyed her
rudders and rose higher and high
er from the jagged passes until she

ENGLAND TURNS
ITS ATTENTION
TO COMING
ELECTION
LONDON—With parliament dis
solved at the request of Premier
MacDonald following the defeat of
the government in the house of
commons the utterances of politi
cians and the comments of the
press indicate that the coming elec
tion on October 29 is likely to be
one of the bitterest in recent years.
Sidney Webb, president of the
board of trade, is quoted as saying
that the campaign would be an
"especially dirty one” and the an
gry tone already manifest in many
declarations seems to justify the
prediction.
One sign of the eagerness of the
liberals and conservatives to pre
vent another laborite government is
the initiation of the negotiations
between the two old parties with a
view to minimizing the number of
thre three cornered contests.
It is evident that the women are
to participate in the fight to an
extent at least equal to that of the
last election. The headquarters of
all the parties have received a mul
titude of offers of electoral help
from the women and all have sev
eral women candidates with pros
pects of more. Aside from the eight
women members of parliament, all
of whom are seeking re-election,
more than a score of aspirants are
announced, the laborites having by
far the greatest number.

Cannon, retired veteran congress
man of Illinios, came out of nearly
two years of private life Thursday
night to address a business men’s
meeting here and to attack United
States Senator Robert M. LaFol

president.
"In expressing his aversion for
Senator LaFollette’s independent
candidacy, Mr. Cannon said he had
little regard for "a man who is
elected as a republican or a dem
ocrat and then turns around and
raises the devil with those who jAit
him in office.”
”1 guess I do not have to keep my
mouth shut about whom I mean,”
Uncle Joe said. "It’s Bob LaFol

KILLS BRIDE OF
THIRTEEN DAYS
CARLINVILI.E, Ills— A charge
of murder was placed Friday
against Lester Kahl, 24 years old,
farmer of near Shipman, Macoupin
county, ae a result of his confes
sion Thursday that he had killed
his bride, Margaret, after 13 days of
married life, and had burled her
body on his farm. A quarrel over
a girl whom he had kept company
before his marriage, Kahl admitted
in his confession, was the cause of
his slaying his wife after she had
handed him at his request, the gun
with which he shot her.
Mrs. Kahl disappeared September
15, last, and her parents, Mr. and
Mrs. John Slaughter, of Shipman,
had ocnducted an extensive search
for her. Kahl had always stuck to
his contention that he last saw her

ZR-3 t® Depart For
America Saturday
FRIEDRICHSHAFEN, Ger
many—Thirty-two persons will
be on board the ZR-3 when the
giant dirigible built here at the
Zeppelin Company for the
Unted States navy, departs
soon after daylight Saturday
for Lakehursty N. J.
Dr. Hugh Eckener director of
the Zepplin Company, made
this statement Friday in an
nouncing that two mechanics
had been added to the German
personnel bringing the total of
those who will be on board to
28 Germans and 4 Americans.
Dr. Eckener says that the air
ship Is In excellent shape.
Precautions were taken Fri
day to prevent stowaways from
finding places on the airship.
Just before the departure of the
airship the ship will be search
ed from stem to stern for li
quor as well as stowaways.
The decision of Dr. Eckener,
partially influenced by both
German and American mem
bers of the crew not to start
out on a Friday has not quite
rid some members of the per
sonel of concern aver super
stitious consideration . It Is
pointed out that if the ZR-3
leaves Saturday and has a suc

Mercer Professor Asked
to “Get Out” Because of
His Views on Evolution
MACON, Gn.—Students of Morcer University protested in reso
lutions Friday against the request of the board of trustees that Dr.
Henry Fox, professor of biology, be asked to resign on account of
evolution theories he is said to have taught at Mercer, which is
owned by Baptists of Georgia.
Dq. Fox was in Atlanta Friday appearing before a committee of
Baptist leaders, and Dr. Rufus W. Weaver. Mercer president, was
in Waycross, Ga. When asked over telephone for a statement, the
latter said that the entire matter had been left up to the faculty,
which meets Tuesday aftefnoon.
Rumors quote other professors as saying that they, too, would
resign if Dr. Fox was forced to withdraw. Ministerial stydents and
others alike are said to regard him among the highest of the faculty.
Dr. Fox has been a member of the Mercer fatuity since 1918. (
During the past summer he did government research work In New

Dr. Henry Fox, professor of bi
ology at Mercer University, has

with the fundamental beliefs of
the Baptists of Georgia.

of Mercer, would not make a
