it to go.

point of the spectators in the stands,

view. I never had seen anything like it
before and probably never will again.

World Becoming
Drier and Drier
iU Go Completely Dry Some
Day, Says World Tem
perance Head.
The entire world will some day
he dry, In the opinion of Miss Anna
A. Oordon of Evanston, 111., both
world and national president of the
Women's Christian Temperance
union. She is in Omaha on her way
to Denver to attend the Colorado con
vention of the organization.
Miss Oordon pointed out the srread
of prohibition in foreign lands, led
by Iceland, now a sovereign Btate.
In virtually every country, she eaid,
restrictions have been placed on the
sale of liquor, and 10 have alieoluteiy
barred selling to minors. New Zeal
and, she declared, had three times
voted a majority for prohibition, but
under the laws of the dominion a
three-fifth majority is required.
Turning from the foreign to the
domestic liquor question, Miss Gordon
expressed satisfaction that each suc
ceeding congress since the passage
of the 18th amendment hag been
every dny in every way getting drier
and drier.
Fight for Enforcement.
"The big fight on now," Miss
Gordon declared, "is for the efficient
enforcement of the law. "We have
two classes In opposition to the
maintenance of the Volstead act.
One Is the misinformed group which
has been taught to believe that the
Introduction of light wines and beer
would solve the problem. The others
are those whose best interests finan
iaily are served by liquor.
Miss Gordon praised both major
parties for their prohibition enforce
ment planks.
The head of the W. C. T. V. Is a
native of Boston and for 21 years wan,
secretary to the. late Frances E. Wil
lard, founder of the union. She is the
author of numerous hymns and
books. This week Miss Gordon at
tended a meeting of the Iowa W. C.
T. U. at Cedar Rapids.
Held Up and Robbed.
R. F. Pekwske, 4428 South Thirty
eighth street, was held up by a man
and woman at Tenth street and Capi
tol avenue, about 6:15 Fridsy night
and robbed of $72, he told police.
Detectives Haze and Donahue In
vestigated the case and reported they
learned the identity of the robbers
and will arrest them.
ZR-3 Flight Is
Postponed Until
Sunday Morning
Commander of Giant Dirigible
Finds It Is Too Heavily
Loaded and Declines to
Take Off Any Fuel.
By Associated Press.
Friedrichshafen, Germany, Oct. 11.
—The flight of the Zeppelin ZR-3 from
Friedrichshafen to Lakehurst, N. J.,
the start of which had been an
nounced for this morning, was sud
denly postponed at the last minute
until 6 o'clock tomorrow morning.
While no formal statement was
forthcoming from the management of
the Zeppelin works, where the great
dirigible was built for the United
States navy, it was apparent that Dr.
Hugo Eckener, director of the works
and commander of the ship, had dis
covered that the ZR-3 was loaded with
more weight than it could comforta
bly carry.
(31 Tons of Petrol.
Dr. Eckener claimed that the at
mospheric lifting power this morning
was such that a successful start waa
precluded and he Immediately after
ward ordered quantities of gasoline
and ballast jettisoned.
Even taking out a ton and a half of
gasoline, however, failed to lighten
the ship enough so she would float as
she should, and Dr. Eckener ex
plained that the rising temperature
was hindering the dirigible's lifting
power.
As every ounce of gasoline may be
required to propel the vessel In the
event of rough weather he deemed
it best to postpone the hopoff rather
than further reduce his fuel supply,
which this morning weighed about
31 tons. Dr. Eckener Is hoping for
cooler weather and consequently
greater1 buoyancy when he endeavors
to take off tomorrow.
The postponement was a disappiont
ment to thousands of early risers who
had besieged the hangar since dawn,
confident that the start would be
made at 7:30 o'clock as announced
last night. The official parting cere
monies were already under way and
the local band had struck up their
last farewells when Dr. Eckener made
known his decision for postponement.

Butler Raps
Ku IKux Klan
in Platform
Addressed to “Tax Burdened
People of Nebraska ;**
Green Heads State
Committee.
Dan Tt. Butler, city eommlsstoner of
Omaha, and candidate of the progres
sive party for governor of Nebraska,
Issued his platform Saturday ad
dressed "To the tax-burdened people
of •Nebraska."
"The Ku Klux Klan and kindred or
ganizations should be unmasked by
law,” says Mr. Butler.
"In this campaign I am for Da
Folletle for president and Norris for
L'nlted States senator,” he adds.
Green Heads Committee.
AT. H. Green Is named chairman of
the state committee, Richard Jensen,
treasurer, and Mary Kennedy, secre
tary. •
_The rampalgn committee Is as fol
lows: Mrs. Joseph Meading, Cornlea;
Mrs. John Raul, Harvard; Mrs. E. J.
McAjalle, Omaha; Mrs. J. A. Warner,
Omaha; Mrs. Antons Apts, Belden;
Bernard McNeny. Red Cloud; George
Adams, Crawford; John Kulil, Ran
dolph; C. C. Galloway, Omaha; M.
Frleden, Orpaha, and Vincent B.
Kinney, Omaha.
"I call upon the taxpayers of the
state, regardless of political affilia
tion, to ponder over the tax situation
and then determine whether private
property should be surrendered to the
tax eaters or whether taxes should
bo reduced," says the statement of
principles in the first paragraph.
“Era of Extravagance.”
"This has been an era of extrava
gance in the multiplication of offices,
bureaus and departments with a
doubling of salaries for official serv
ice without any increase In the abil
ity, fidelity or industry 4>f officials.
A new capitol is in course of erection,
and Instead of a public building suffi
clent to provide adequate offices for
public business the people are being
taxed for the erection of a building
which is to stand as a monument for
its sponsors.”
He declares that "taxation of farm
and city property amounts almost to
confiscation."
The first step In the reduction of
taxes, Butler says, Is the repeal of
the code law, to be followed by reduc
tion of salaries and abolition of use
less boards and bureaus.
Refers to Protest.
The Intangible tax law should be
repealed, he says. Building of roads
should he more carefully watched
with a view to reducing costs.
If he Is elected governor, Mr. But
ler says, he will urge upon the legis
lature enactment of laws to carry
out these ideas and will use the veto
power In all excessive Items on appro
prlatlon bills. If necessary he "will
resort to direct legislation by the peo
ple under the initiative.”
A closing paragraph refers to "a
protest filed with the secretary of
state by friends of the opposition
against my name going on the ballot
as a progressive candidate for gov
ernor has delayed me in getting be
fore the people," but declares that in
the time remaining he will make up
for the delay.
