Navy Bill Authorizes Purchase
of Dirigible of Zeppelin
Type and Building of ,
Other Airships.
Washington, July 12. Acting un
der specific authority granted in the
new naval appropriation bill, the
Navy department soon will start
construction on two of the largest
dirigible hangars in the world. Rear
Admirals Taylor , and Parks, heads
of the bureaus of construction and
repair! and yards and docks, re
spectively, today had instructions
to speed up the preparation of the
working plans, as an expenditure of
about $3,500,000 for two hangars to
house flying machines of the Zep
pelin type has been authorized. They
will be located on the seaboard,
probably in New Jersey, and pos
sibly on the same site.
Ground area necessary for the
construction of a double hangar will
be about one square mile. Each
hangar will be about 800 feet long,
250 feet wide and from ISO to 200
feet high. It is probable that all
steel construction will be used and
officials estimate that from six to
eight months will be needed for
their erection.
Provision for the purchase abrortl
of a Zeppelin type airship at a cost
not to exceed $2,500,000 is made in
the naval bill, and the construction
in this country of a similar machine
at a cost of' $1,500,000. It is prob
able that the machine purchased
abroad will be of the British R-34
model, although larger. It probably
will be flown to this country by an
American crew, the only other al
ternative being to attempt to tow
it by cables made fast to a ship.
Negotiations looking to the pur
chase have already been entered in
to with foreign nations.
Aftr experiments with the for
eign craft the construction of an im
proved American built machine will
be started.
Secretary Daniels said tonight
that ho had no further statement to
make regarding "the rumored trans
Pacific flight. Naval officers be
lieve, however, that such a flight
will be attempted shortly after the
navy , comes into possession of its
first cruising dirigible.
1 Silk Tile Again in Favor.
London, July 12. Quite within
memory the high hat .reigned su
preme; practically it was the only
hat worn by every man, from Prince
to ploughman. Cricketers played
in it. boating men wore it on the
river, sportsmen on the moors and
holiday-makers on the 'sands of
Margate and Ramsgate.
An interesting and convincing
proof of its universality is seen in
the well-known print of the prize
fight between Sayers and Heenan
in 1860. Every one in the crowd
Wears a topper of the chimney-pot
pattern except the members of "the
fancy"' acting as ring-keepers, who
wear caps. Now, after having been
temporarily obscured by the war, it
is coming into its own once more.
- Buy U. S. Tools.
Brussels, July 12. Heads of the
Belgian metal establishments have
concluded an arrangement with the
United States army for the pur
chase of machine tools which were
in use by the American forces in
Europe, or which were awaiting
shipment from the United States.
This sale, and its conditions, will
do much to make possible rapid re
establishmcnt of many metal plants.
City Dwellers May Find Relief from Torrid
Weather Through Visit to Omaha's Parks
K
RUG PARK is coming -in for
its full share of attention
from the discriminating
amusement seekers. This beautiful
suburban resort has never looked
so attractive as it does this reason,
nor never did it have as much to
satisfy those who seek divertise
mcnt. The breeze of the hill top
has been supplemented by the finest
bathing pool yet constructed, a ver
itable seashore affair set up in ideal
surroundings. If you enjoy a bath
in a porcelain tub, think what it
would mean to swim in one. That
is what Krug park offers now.
All the customary attractions of
the summer park are provided, the
roller coaster, the mcrry-go-round,
Suanee river, and the like, with
games and other forms of amuse
ment, and the big dance pavilion is
one of the most popular ever
opened.
For the current week the especial
attraction will be Ebenezer, the edu
cated mule, made famous as a for
mer member of the Mclntyre and
Heath "Ham Tree" company. ' He
witl do his tricks every afternoon
and evening.
The South Side Talmud Torah,
largest Hebrew social and religious
organization in the city, will hold
its annual picnic this season at Lake
view. The 1,500 members and their
families will journey to Lakevtew
next Tuesday, July 15, for a day of
fun. Races and games for the young
and -old will be on tap, with a list
of prizes that will be sure to entice
everyone to compete.
Thursday, July 17, the Basket
Stores will hold their first annual
outing. The company is not only
entertaining its employes, but its
friends and customers as well. The
Basket Store company has bought
a number of tickets to be distributed
to employe and friends. The Bas
ket Stores Will close all day Thurs
day. Pie-eating contests, watepmel-on-eating
contests, only seconded by
sack races, three-legged races, egg
races, games and other sports will
be part of the program to make up
the day. The dance palace will have
a special matinee at 3:15 and again
at 8:20 at night. Al Wright's or
chestra will furnish the music.
Harry Walker and Ned Miller, the
Chicago songbirds, will remain ,over
today, closing their engagement at
the park tonight. These two boys
LEBENEZER, THE TRICK MULE OF THE McINTYRE AND
HEATH ("HAM TREE") FAME FREE ATTRACTION AT

have proven to be quite popular
among the park's many patrons dur
ing their engagement. The method
in which they render the most fa
mous song stories of the day has
made them individuals in their line.
Record crowds are reported by
the management of the Manawa
park bathing beach this season.
More Omahans are swimming this
year than ever before, and to meet
the demands of fun in the water the
park has installed additional equip
ment of diving boards, chutes, roll
ing barrels, bells, horses, etc.
"We have more swimmers than
ever before and notice a greatly in
creased number of swimming par
ties," said Manager Palm of the
park. "Omaha and Council Bluffs
people have taken up swimming as
a summer sport and the percentage
of expert swimmers is greater than
ever oefore."
The beach at Manawa has a pa
tronage of several thousand every
day and it is planned a little later in
the Season' to hold a number of
swimming events between the ex
pert swimmers.
One of the interesting features of
the Western Union picnic held on
the beach Saturday was a water
polo game, with a complete team on
each side. The members were all
cood swimmers, and with the equip
ment supplied by the park a hot con
test was held.
Manawa has been using its high
powered electric launches to their
capacity all summer to accommo
date the crowds crossing the lake
and the number of rowboats in use
exceeds that in any previous season.
Fishermen are coming in with
.tales of "better fishing this month
than in the early spring, and it ap
pears that the bass are beginning to
get hungry and to bite in earnest.
Officer Gets Tobacco
Back From Germany
London, July 12. Behpld the
honest, though anonymous, Ger
man 1
H. J. Wilson, an architect of Pe
terborough, England, formerly a
lieutenant in the Northumberland
Fusiliers and taken prisoner by the
Germans in the March drive of
1918, received through the mails to
day a package of tobacco which had
been forwarded by his family to him
at the German prison camp at Ras
tatt in May of last year.
The tobacco had been held up
somewhere along the line and was
not delivered until after Wilson had
left Germany after the armistice.
But some conscientious German had
taken the pains to burrow into the
records, find where Wilson enlisted
and forward the tobacco to that ad
dress. A heartless British customs serv
ice appended a duty of eight shil
lings upon the returned smokes.
Small Fee Charged.
Berlin, July 12. A weekly contri
bution for all women party mem
bers equivalent to ten-thirteenths of
one American cent and for male
members of 1 cent and two-thirteenths
has been voted by the Ma
jority Socialists as a condition of
party membership.
Self-Government and
Loan of $30,000,000
Asked by Porto Rico
San Juan, July 12, (By the Asso
ciated Press.) The Porto Riean
legislatures has been asked to send
a commission to Washington to ask
ask congress for a loan of $30,000,
000 and for legislation to prevent
monoply of land in Porto Rico by
large corporations. It has been
proposed also that the commission
should ask for a preferential tariff
on coffee and for the establish
ment of a bank for making loans to
farmers.
Advocates of the proposal want
the $30,000,000 for educational pur
poses, irrigation, freight steamers,
to pay off the island's debt and
other purposes.
It is proposed that the commis
sion should ask congress to grant
the island complete self-government.
These suggestions have aroused
some opposition. Representative
Lat-tra, has declared, that the Porto
Rican legislature has full authority
to deal with the land monopoly
question and that the bills in the
legislature loking to that end have
been defeated.
Thief Takes Only Such
Sums as He May Need
San Francisco, Cal., July 12. An
eccentric thief who either has con
sideration for his victims or makes
it a practice to take 3ust what his
expenses require has broken . into
the home of Mrs. Anna Cuneo seven
times in less than two weeks, on
each occasion stealing sums vary
ing from $2 to $10. Each time the
thief has visited the place he has
left sums amounting to $40 and $50
untouched. In the seven visits the
thief has stolen about $35.
Funeral Airplanes? Not Yet?
London, July 12. All sorts of
strange propositions are beginning
to be made to aeroplane firms. For
instance, Messrs. Handley-Page
have just received a request for
aerial hearses. I
An undertaker with imagination
conceived the possibility of a person
dying in London having expressed
a wish to be buried in Scotland, and
of making the funeral journey " by
air instead of by rail. The firm,
however, has, replied that they have
no intention,' at present, of doing
business of this kind.
Another rather grim proposition
is that for an aerial service in India
to carry sick and dying Hindus 4o
the sacred waters of the Ganges.
CONSCRIPTION
OF YOUTH WILL
FOLLOW LEAGUE
Senator Borah Denies Disar
mament Will Come With
Covenant; Foresees Great
War Program.
""-
Washington, July 12. Denying
that disarmament Is to bft brought
about through the league of nations,
Senator Borah of Idaho in a speech
in the senate alsO asserted that un
less conscription were enforced it
would be utterly impossible to carry
out article x and certain other phases
of the league covenant.
"These two principles the estab
lishment of the freedom of the seas
and the elimination of conscription
were the two fefeat principles
which were promised to the people
of the world by the men who con
trolled ahd shaped affair at Ver
sailles before they went thete," said
Senator Borah. ''And, the very fact
that both of thee things, the very
basis of navalism and militarism
were eliminated, rejected out o
hand, tfnust be satisfactory proof to
any reflecting man that, whatever
they thought before they met, they
came to the conclusion that disarma
ment was not practical. That is
what the people should be told, that
they have not provided for disarma
ment because they found that it was
impracticable to do so. It is a sys
tem of misrepresentation, seldom
excelled, to tell the people, after
these broken promises, that disarma
ment is to follow.
Instead of disarmament, Senator
Borah said, there is to be "the most
stupendous program of armaments
which the world has ever contem
plated in time of peace." Senator
Borah referred to the fact that Eng
land is today raising an army oi
close to a million men and that it
will be raised "by conscription in
time of peace." He declared the
volunteer system could never be re
lied upon to send soldiers to protect
the territorial integrity of the na
tions of Europe and Asia.
"And just so surely as we enter
this league of nations and the obli
gations of articles x ana xi are im
posed upon us and the conditions
of those articles are to be carried
out bv finding American boys to per
form the services which will be re-
auired, jut that certain we will have
conscription in this country in time
of peace.
Editor, 88, Still Hustling.
New Yosk, July 12. Newspaper
offices are among the busiest of
fices in the world and the brain
strain is popularly supposed to wear
newsoaoer men out quickly. Yet
Brooklyn has an editor who will be
eitrhtv-nine Years old on August 22,
and who is still actively handling
the blue oencil. the scissors, the
paste-pot and other toola associated
in the public mind with an editorial
job.
The editor is William H. Sutton,
editor of the Brooklyn Eagle's fra
ternal news. He is probably a mem
ber of or connected with more po
tential organizations than any liv
ing man, and his interest in them
is so intimate that he simply, will
not consider himself an old man.

Pimple Leads to Suit.
Topeka, Kan., July 12. A pimple
on the back of his neck was the
basis of a suit filed in the city court
here against the Charles Wolff
Packing company by T. J. Donnelly,
an employe. Donnelly declares in
his petition that the pimple became
infected while working in the plan
handling meat, and that he lost
wages and, had td pay for hospital
