HULL, England, Oct. 4.—Weakness in the transverse girders of the dirigible ZR-2 had been revealed long before the fatal flight when two-score British and American air sailors were killed, the coroner declared today in summarizing testimony given at the inquest. The inquest failed to establish definitely the cause of the disaster. The first verdict, in the case of Lieutenant Little, one of the victims, was that he came to his death by accident. The evidence threw litt!" light on the cause of the ZR-2's collapse. Weakness in the transverse girders had teen shown In >3ts in May. said the coroner. lie based his declarations upon evidence Introduced from experts in the form of depositions. On July 17 there was a long flight, added the coroner, when there was some buckling of the main longitudinal girder and also a girder on the port side. But the safety of the dirigible was not affected at that time, for the airship landed safely at Howden. The Inquest was conducted by Coroner T. C. Jackson, who had conducted the preliminary inquiry at the time of the disaster. At the outset he said the problem to be determined was whether 3iiy criminal negligence had been shown and to inquire what precautions should be taken to safeguard against such accidents In the future. Coroner Jackson summarized the written reports that had been turned in to him by official investigators. These showed that every one connected with the ZR-2 had the greatest confidence in the airworthiness of the design. Coroner Jackson, summarizing the testimony in hand, said parts of the strained girders had been replaced and strengthened and on June 16, when a trial flight was made, stood a moro severe test than had been made in the previous month. In June, lift and trim tests were conducted, which showed some of the clreumferented wires and radial wires needed rebracing and this subsequently was I done. The first actual trial flight, June 23, showed that the rudders and elevators were slightly over balanced.

TEMPERAMENTAL WHIMS OF OPERA AIRED IN COURT (Continued From rage One.) F. McCormick and his wife, the daughter of John I. Rockefeller. Mrs, Edith Rockefeller McCormick slipped from her home fin the “gold const" and went into conference with the corps of Teutonic pyschologlsts who occupy a whole floor la Chicago's most expensive hotel. Out at Lake Forest, McCormick, president of the International Harvester Company, was guarded by a score of uni formed guards He was “not at home’’ to those who wanted him to supplement bis brief statement that all Mr McCormick wl 1 say is that he and his wife “are not living under the same roof." Curiosity seekers and those ■.-ho want to know more about synthetic psychology flocked at- md the hotel to get a glimpse of Mrs. McCormick and the teachers she brought hack after an exile of eight years in Switzerland. In the meanwhile psychology bids fair to become the fad of Chicago society folks this winter. One of those with whom Mrs. McCormick was In conference was Dr. Josef Hartmann, a :o-worker of Dr. Carl Jung, who has been the teacher of the oil king's daughter for eight years while she was abroad. Mrs. McCormick, by right the social leader of Chicago, still denied herself to her forrfier friends, It was reported, and spent ail of her time with the learned men she brought back from Europe. McCormick, in hiding, Jook occasion to make one more statement —but not concerning the break with bis wife. The millionaire, who is also the sponsor of the Chicago Grand Opera Company denied a statement attributed to one of his representatives that Mary Garden was no longer connected with the Chicago Grand Opera Company. The story that Mary was out of the opera venture; was printed in a New York newspaper. The statement said: “Mary Garden will continue as general director of the Chicago Grand Opera Company and no thought has been given to the contrary.''

Rockefeller Presses Claim for Income Tax WASHINGTON, Oct. 4—John D. Rockefeller, through his attorney, today asked the Supreme Court to advance arguments in a case by which he hopes to retain some Federal income taxes paid several years ago. The Federal Government agreed to Rockefeller's motion. SHIPPING BOARD POLICY WILL BE DEFINED SOON Attorney Plans to Give Opinion in Few Days—Takes Up Contract. Special to Indiana Daily Tlmoa and Philadelphia Public Ledger WASHINGTON, Oct. 4.—Policy of the new United St,ites shipping board toward the contracts made by American concerns with the Hamburg-American and North German Lloyd, both German steamship companies, is to he determined shortly. Necessity for action by officials of this Government was advanced through the arrival of Philip Ileincken, president of the North German Lloyd, and Carl Stapelfeldt., a director of the company, in Washington for a conference with A. D. Lasker, chairman of the board, in regard to the contract with the German line which has been made by the United States Mail Steamship Company, now in the hands of a receiver. The contract in general was similar to that entered into by the Harriman Interests with tho Hamburg-American, which resulted in tho seizure of 849,000.000 passed in the transaction by governments. The Harriman lin Is operating nnder the Hamburg American contract now with the tacit consent of the shipping board. The first German vesa-d reached New York last week and others are to follow soon. The shi?q>lng hoard as a hoard, however, has never either under the Wilson administration or that of President Harding taken an official stand In relation to the agreements involved, which would place shipping facilities developed by the German companies at the disposal of American interests on a mofo or less mutual basis. Elmer Rchlesslnger, genera l counsel of the shipping board, ha* the r rman contract question before him at 'he present time for consideration, and hones to be able to give his opinion to the full board within a short time. In his conference with the German representatives, Mr. Lasker, without committing the board in any wav, told the visitors the United States lines were using the facilities which the malt company had in New York and Bremen and that Judge Mflrttn T. Hnntoq of the Federal Court in New York had said that when the passenger steamships of the United State* lines should be offered for sale or charter the court at the same time would ask for bids for the North German Lloyd contract. The Germans made no definite statement a* to the action they contemplated taking tnjirder to protect their Interests, but it is known they hold to the belief that the bankruptcy proceedings against the United States Mail Steamship Company broke the contract which it hud w<h the North German Lloyd, and that If the German lino desires it can regain full possession of its rights.
