COLONEL HALL
TELLS OF SHIP
IN THE STORM
As Craft Broke Into Three Pieces,
He Said, "Everyone Beat It."
No Defect in Ship.
CaldweL O.. Sept. 3. Most of the
dead of the Shenandoah were found
in the tangled wreckage, of the con
trol cabin where a full crew wag, on
duty attempting to ride out the buf
feting winds which resulted in the
complete destruction of the craft.
Ambulances and other convey
ances which carried physicians and
others to the scene Immediately fol
lowing the accident were transport
ing the dead and injured to nearby
towas. Those who met death in the
unsuccessful flight 'against the ele
ments were taken to Belle Valley
while the injured were scattered in
the varlons hospitals of the commun
ity. The story of the disaster is one of
heroism of the crew, pioneers in the
interest of the development of light
er than air transportation. It is best
told by Colonel C. G. Hall, United
States army observer aboard the ill
fated ship.
"We were traveling west at an al
titude of about 4 thousand feet when
we encountered a storm," Colonel
Hall said in describing the accident.
"By changing our course a dozen or
more times, we dodged It only to en
counter the line squall which Bent
us to an altitude of 55 hundred feet
before we realized what had hap
pened.
"We opened the valves to let out
gas and lowered the ship and were
i drawing away from the storm at a
i fifty mile per hour rate when the
storm enveloped us and broke the
.ship into three pieces. I exclaimed
tto Commander Lonsdowne: 'Every
one beat it. When the crash came I
was on the ladder leading irom the
control cabin to the rear portion of
the ship. As I started to fall. I
clutched a girder to which I hung
suspended, finally swinging my body
over It and crawling forty or fifty
feet back into the ship."
When he reached the ship proper,
Colonel Hall said that he found oth
er members of the crew preparing to
open the valves in order to bring
about a descent. Here he found
Lieutenant Roland G. Mayer, leading
jiofficer, and Lieutenant J. B. Ander
son, aerologist. The latter, Colonel
jHall said, had made his way to the
rear on the cat walk. All three de
scended safely.
j Colonel Hall said that the catas
trophe was in no way attributable to
any defect in the ship. Meteorologi
cal devices, warning the navigators
of the storm would have saved the
ship, he said. Since there were no
meteorological stations in the vicin
t ity. however, these advices were not
j available.
I At the time of the crash. Hall said.
,four of the six engines which pro
ipelled the air monster were going
(full speed. The craft simply met air
(currents which 6he could not survive.
Colonel Hall voiced high praise
for the navy crew of the dirigible.
(Even immediately after the crash,
Ihe said, the crew's behavior was re
jmarkable. Each man took the situ
ation quietly, deporting himself as if
he were on a free balloon and at
tempting to bring the craft to the
ground in the best manner possiETe. :

"FACING THE MU
SIC" IS A REAL
LAUGHING TREAT
Play Presented by Young People of
This City For Legion Gives
Audience Real "Kick,"
From Thursday's Daily
The play that the young people
of the tity under the direction of
Mrs. Oscar Sandin offered to aid in
the securing of funds for the com
munity building sponsored by the lo
cal American Legion post, proved a
real success at the Parmele theatre
last evening.
"Facing the Music" is a farce com
edy in three acts and has but one
purpose the amusement oi me audi
ence and in this it is a sure-fire suc
cess as the laugh provoking situa
tions as presented by the clever cast
of young people certainly made a de
cided hit with the auditors and there
was a laugh with every line of the
entertaining farce comedy.
The play deals with the compli
cated affairs of the Smith family, the
curate, "Rev. John Smith" and the
"other John Smith," being the storm
centers of the rage of mirth that
comes when the identification of
their wives become mixed and the
a-rrvner woman is in the right place
Htit-iti th p-rpntpr Ti.nrt of the day.
The parties all reside in the same
flat in dear "ol Lunnon." the wife
of the curate arrives a stranger from
the north of England, gets into the
wrong Smith apartment and there
goes the storm of comical situations
that make the play one of the great
est fun and pleasure for two hours
that anyone could wish.
The role of the "Rev. John Smith"
was taken by Edward Gradoville.
who was a real type of the quiet and
unassuming soldier of the church.
The "other Mr. Smith" was handled
very cleferly by Fred Warren, who
had the center of the stage the great
er part of the time in trying to rid
himself of the array of ladies who
all claimed to be "Mrs. Smith."
William Matschullat appeared as
"Dick Desmond," the friend of the
other Mr. Smith, giving a very clev
er rendition of the part, while Ed-
ward Matschullat as "Col. Duncan
Smith," the uncle of the other Mr.
Smith, was unusually pleasing and
helped in the comical situations that
arose in the course of" the comedy.
Roy Olson as "Sergeant Duffell," the
keen eyed detective, was also one of
the pleasing features of the play.
The chief female characters in the
farce were Miss Helen Wesrott as
the wife of the curate, who had made
her way into the wrong flat and was
convinced she was in the right place,
and Miss Freda Klinger as the wife
of the "other Mr. Smith." who was a
stranger in her own home and sus
pected of being a notorious female
crook. Miss Hazel Clugy as "Miss
Fotheringay" of the Bijou theatre,
was one of the clever members of
the cast and added to the fun and
interest of the play. Mrs. Sandin ap-
peared as "Mrs. Ponting," the house
keeper of the "other Mr. Smith" and
in addition to her work as director
of the play gave this part a very
pleasing presentation.
The delightful farce comedy is tOjship was traveling west at an alti-
be presented again this evening atjiude of 3.000 feet when it encoun
the Parmele and those who failed to tered the heavy windstorm,
see it or wish a real laugh to drive The storm caused one motor to

th play is a real source of amuse-jto the ground. Wood said he was
ment and two hours of the rarest
fun.

Six Counties Show Field Produce,
Live Stock and Poultry Value
of $55,832. 386.
Lincoln, Neb., Sept. 3. A group
of six counties in the central section
live stock and poultry valued at oo
832,3S6.17. reported to the Lincoln
chamber of commerce after a study
of Nebraska crops for 1924.
The counties included in the sur
vey are Valley, Greeley, Sherman,
Howard, Custer and Buffalo. The
figures used in the compilation were
obtained from A. E. Anderson, fed
eral and state agricultural statisti
cian, and are published co-operatively
by the United States and state de
partments of agriculture statistical
bureaus.
In the six counties the total value
of field crops was $31,611,S81.93 ;
live stock. $23,604,511.50; and poul
try. 5615,692.15.
The same study shows that Scotts
bluff county raised field crops worth
$5,937,567.90; live stock. $2,928,
758.10, and poultry. $76,395.18. or a
total production under the three
classes of $8,942,724.18. The field
crop figures include sugar beets val
ued at $3,326,043. In no instance was
the value of eggs, milk, butter fat or
other farm products included.
The counties on which the com
pilation was made have generally
been called the "sand mil country,"
the reports commented, adding that
these figures have been announced i
to thow that while there may have
been a 'sand hill country' at one
time, it was in the long ago."

EECEIVES SEVXEE SHOCK
From Saturday's Daily
While Thomas Wilton and Tamily
were visiting in Lincoln, they having
driven down Tuesday, they looked
after the business which had called
them and then, as they had some time
to spare, thought they would Lpok
over the Buick broadcasting station.
While there Mr. Wilton had the
misfortune to bring his arm in con
tact with two points on the gener
ator that furnishes the juice for the
broadcasting apparatus with the re
sult that he received a charge of
2.5000 volts thru his arm. He was
knocked unconscious and it was sev
eral hours before he was revived and
for a time it was thought hat he was
electrocuted. The arm thru which
the current passed was very badly
burned, but it is hoped that no per
manent injury will result. The only
thing which saved his life, it is
thought, is the fact that the current
passed in and out of the same arm,
not thru his whole body. Mr. Wilton
resides three miles west of Green
wood in Lancaster county.
