iIUOE ZEPPELIN TO INAUGURATE OCEAN SERVICE Will Leave German Hangar for Test Flights July 20. FRIEDRICHSHAFfeN, July 4. 'he builders of the new giant Zepilin, which is nearing completion U / Te re, intend to inaugurate with it a Negular trans-Atlantic passenger n and mail air service. Two or three . sister ships will also be built if financial backing for the project can be found. Due to its enforced idleness following the war, the Zeppelin company is not now rich, and the LZ--127, as the new ship is denoted, has been built largely by popular subscription, 3,000,000 of the total cost of 4,000.000 gold marks having been contributed in small sums from all over Germany. Need Three Ships It is figured that with three ships a regular and efficient transocean service can be maintained. There probably would be one replacement ship. It is understood that New York would be the American terminal, and Paris or Berlin, or both, the European terminal. Dr. Hugo Eckener, who succeeded the late Count Zeppelin as head of the Zeppelin Company, of course is a great believer in aircraft lighter than air, and despite the comparatively heavy cost he thinks the Zeppelin machine holds out the best prospect of successful long distance commercial aviation. Though the new Zeppelin, which is 770 feet long and the largest yet built, has now been equipped for a long test flight and therefore fitted to carry only about twenty passengers with a crew of about forty, yet its carrying capacity could be enlarged to take as many as seventy passengers and some tons of mail across the Atlantic. Could Carry 800 Persons For a short flight of several hours’ duration the ship could take 800 passengers, it is stated. Under normal conditions it would take about two days to cross the Atlantic, and the airship could start back in three days. Thus four days would be cut from the time needed to cross the Atlantic by liner. It is expected that the new ship will be ready to leave the hangar on July 20. There will be short trial flights for a week or so, after which the ship will attempt two long trial flights, at the end of which preparations will be made for a trip to America. The start is expected in the latter part of August. Dr. Eckener has already flown the Atlantic with the Los Angeles. FIREMEN HAD TO KNOW WHERE EVERYBODY LIVE Retiring Vincennes Veteran Recalls Unnumbered Houses. By United Press VINCENNES, Ind., July 4.—Alonzo Woodward, nearing the 75-year mark, and who has served with the Vincennes fire department fortythree years has resigned and will go on pension. He says he is going to California to see his children and fish. Woodward became a fireman the year the water company installed fire hydrants and was one of the four in the department. There were two fire houses then, composed of two men, one horse and a hose cart each. When he first went into service, houses were without numbers and firemen had to know where everybody lived. For the past three years Woodward has been a fire inspector. He has resided in the same house here more than twenty years. One-Pony Riding Club By United Press EVANSVILLE, Ind., July 4.—John Schnabel, 11, who several months ago won a pony in a contest, tired of riding by himself, organized Evansville’s first and only Boys’ Riding club.

FAIR FAN CHAMPION

Never Threw Away Straw Hat

A; : - : - iBHCjk

Mrs. O. L. Hawkins, 2U E. St. Clair, St., - who has seldom missed seeing the Indians 'play on the home lot since 1912 , traces her love of baseball to girlhood days at Rosedale, Ind., when she lived next door to the famous threefingered pitcher, Mordecai Brown.

By DAN M. KIDNEY Women may attend baseball games regularly, but they never become fans without reservations. They scream, they shout, they eat peanuts, know the players by their first names, but—never has it been known at the local park that a woman got so excited that she entirely forgot herself and tossed her new straw hat in the air. Dozens of men have done so, but if that is what is required for fullfledged fandom the women admit that they “pass.” Munching a popcorn ball and shouting “Let’s go!” and other traditional phrases, Mrs. A. A. Boeckling, 3206 Kenwood Ave., expressed herself on this subject while her favorite Indians were “warming up” at Washington Park for the Ladies’ Day game Friday. “Os course I stand and shout and get excited,” she admitted. “But you wouldn’t expect a woman to toss away a hat she spent hours in selecting. No" sir. I think we women are just as good fans as the men, but we are more ‘grown up’ you might say.”

MERGER IN MAKING Traction and Power Union of Resources Planned. The public service commission is expecting soon the appearance of a petition asking its sanction of a proposed merger of the Terre Haute, Indianapolis & Eastern Traciion and subsidiary companies with properties of the Central Indiana Power Company. The merger will represnt around $70,000,000, as the traction company and its subsidiaries are valued at $35,000,000 and the power utility the same. It will mean the merging of Insull interests in Indiana if the plans are approved. Reports from the Chicago offices of Samuel Insull, Jr., are that tentative approval of the consolidation already has been given by a majority of the stockholders in the Indiana concerns, who will receive cumulative preferred stock in the Indiana Electric Corporation for their holdings. Fisherman’s Silence Ends By United Press LEBANON, Ind., July 4.—Robert Long, who with Dr. R. D. Morrison and Francis Daniels is on a fishing trip in northern Wisconsin, made good on his statement that “you won’t hear from me until I make a big catch.” Long hooked a 11-pound muskelung twenty-four inches long. .wmmmsmmiemmmmmiswm

“Men are just like boys at a baseball game,” she concluded, nudging her husband, who is also a fan, but several games behind his wife in attendance this season. Their son, Arthur H. Boeckling, never missed a game last year, the parents added proudly. But Mrs. O. L. Hawkins, 244 E. St. Clair St., who has scarcely missed seeing the Indians on the home lot since 1912, feels that she is entitled to the woman fan championship, coming from a long line of baseball loving ancestors. “Why, I used to play baseball myself years ago and baseball playing girls were not so common then outside the famous Boston Bloomers,” Mrs. Hawkins recalled. “You see I was reared next door to the home of Mordecai Brown at Rosedale, Ind. He was my girlhood hero and I used to watch him when he was just a town lot player. Later of course I saw him when he was the hero of many diamond battles with the famous Christy Bethewson. I have been going to games all these years, but I’ve yep to see a pitcher that I think was as good.”

Economy Off By Times Special VINCENNES, Ind., July 4. Oran Gantz, Ft. Branch, tried to practice economy by delaying purchase of license plates for his automobile until he could get them for half-price. When arrested by police here he had but one plate on the car, and it was one he found on a road. He was fined $5 and costs.

Mrs. Willard drove a Stutz Black Hawk speedster. She drove without relief and averaged 42 miles an hour. Suicide’s Will on File B;i Times Special NOBLESVILLE, Ind., July 4. The will of Omar Patterson, bookkeeper of the Citizens State Bank, who committed suicide after embezzling $147,000, leaves $32,000 life insurance and $3,000 in notes to relatives. The will was filed for probate in Hamilton Circuit Court here Tuesday.

PAT HARRISON MAY BE HEAD OF DEMOCRATS Reorganization of National Committee Holds Attention of Party Leaders. BY LEO R. SACK HOUSTON, Texas, July 4. Democratic leaders are giving their attention to reorganization of the Democratic national committee and the selection of anew chairman. No decisions will be reached until names have been submitted to Governor Smith. Clem T. Shaver of West Virginia, present national chairman, is expected to retire. As his successor four names are under consideration. Senator Pat Harrison of Mississippi, Senator Peter G. Gerry of Rhode Island, Owen D. Young of New York, chairman of the board of the General Electric Company, and Judge Floyd Thompson of Illinois, Democratic nominee for Governor. Senator Harrison appears to be a favorite among Smith advisors. Harrison was a Mississippi “favorite son” but he helped lead the first-ballot stampede to Smith. The organization of the national committee may include the elimination of Jesse H. Jones, Houston millionaire, as director of finance. The Smith forces are said to feel that Jones used the convention to further his own political fortunes. A contest is developing among the committee women for the post of vice chairman, in charge of womens’ activities, to succeed Mrs. Emily Newell Blair. Mrs. Bernice S. Pyke of Ohio and Mrs. Florence Farley of Kansas are among rival candidates. Boy, 11, Gives Blood By Times Special / MARION, Ind., July 4.—Jack Bailey, 11, is one of the yuongest persons on record to give his blood for a transfusion operation. His‘blood was sent into the veins of his brother, Joseph, 2, suffering from pernicious anemia, which rarely attacks a person so young, doctors say.
