DERBY TO BE RUN ON MUDDY TRACK

PASSENGERS ON ZEP BELIEVED DEATH CERTAIN Officials of Line Speed to France to Check Motor Trouble. U. S. WOMAN BRAVE Virtually All in Airship Suffered 'Seasickness’ in Storm. &if T nit rtf Prt 8TOULON. May 13.—The crippled Grai Zeppelin lay moored in the hangar of the Cuers-Pierrefitte airr; a * here today like a chained mon■ter. her fantistic death minute over, hr* strength completely spent. The passengers and the members of the .'hip's crew, for whom an attempted trans-Atlantic cruise to the United States was turned into a harrowing nightmare, were recuperating from their weird experience. Some of them never expected to live through the ordeal. As the tempest-tossed colossus of the am rode through the skies at the mercy of winds, many of the passengers thought death was certain, that the ship either would be dashed to the ground or be carried out to sea. Officials of the Zeppelin line were speeding toward Toulon today to make a minute examination of the motors, failure of which had threatened to cause the most terrible Zeppelin disaster since the w ar. Only One Motor Working Dr. Ludwig Duerr. constructor oi the giant airslup. was on the way here from Friedrichshafen to study the mach'wery. When the Graf Zeppelin finally was landed here last night, three of the five eneines were out of commission ana one was nearly so. The ship was operating on its single perfect motor. Even tha- one motor was used sparingly by the commander. Dr. Hugo Eckener, because its operation was such a strain on the metal work of the huge dirigible that it was feared the ship's back might be broken. Hundreds of troops were rushed from Toulon to the air port to assist in landing the giant. It took a whole hour and the aid of 500 persons to get the stricken ship into its hangar. Some of the passengers had to be carried from the airship, they were so ill. All had been ill from “sea sickness" throughout the day. American Woman Brave The ship, since entering the storms, was rougher than any steamship in a storm. It rocked and swer v ed almost continually. A German journalist said after disembarking from the Graf Zeppelin: ' I hope I never shall have to undergo’another experience like this. We almost were constantly traveling at an angle of 85 degrees, wobbling, see-sawing, quivering, shaken every moment.* On landing here Eckener asked permission of the French government to allow Zeppelin officials to rush five motors from Germany to replace the broken machinery. The government immediately agreed. Mrs. Mary Fierce qf New York, the only woman passenger, said today she is ready to start tha adventure all over again as soon as the crippled dirigible has been repaired. Eckener Praises Zep Other passengers said she had been remarks blv brave during the hours of trial at the height of the storm. The Zeppelin's envelope practically was intact. Two small tears in one of the finns. caused by the rough handling in landing, are the only damage to the body. Eckener commented: This trio should prove the airworthiness of Zeppelins. We rode through one of the worst storms I ever met in the air. If we had all the motors going we would have mode Friedrichshafen easily, though slowly.” Ridicule Sabotage Charge *?!< United Press FRIEDERICHSHAFEN. Germany. May 18.—It probably will take several days to determine the exact cause of the motor trouble encountered by the Graf Zeppelin during its projected flight to the United States, it was announced by experts of the Zeppelin works here today. Rumors that sabotage may have been responsible for the failure of the ship's motors to function property were discounted by several technical experts, including Dr. Ludwig Duerr, the constructor of the dirigible Before leaving for Toulon. France, where the Graf Zeppelin is stranded. Duerr said the idea was ridiculous Reports of sabotage originated in Friedrichshafen in connection with the number of would-be stowaways.

Cleveland Pauses to Mourn Dead Surviving Victims Stand Good Chance to Recover, Say Doctors. RV CLAIRE M. BIRCKV I. nit*d Fret* Staft Correspontjent CLEVELAND. May 18.—Cleveland curtailed its business today in an official "day ot mourning" for the 124 persons killed by poison gas in Wednesday’s Clinic explosions. Those who so far have, survived inhalation of poison fumes will recover unless complications develop, Dr. William E. Lower, Clinic director, declared. Most of those suffering from the gas remained under close medical care in hospitals or at home. Officials interrupted their plans of rebuilding the ruined Clinic to make a check of some seventy persons, still unaccounted for, who left the structure after the first, explosion. How many of them were affected by the gas generated from the Xray film room was not known. News arrived that all state hospitals in New York and Pennsylvania and all city hospitals in New York City will be inspected, to guard against similar disasters through improper storing of X-ray film. City health officers asserted that within two weeks Cleveland will have anew ordinance providing that old films in large quantity can be stored only in isolated, non-heat-ed brick vaults equipped with sprinker systems, constant ventilation. ''double'* vapor-proof light bulbs and fire doors subject to daily inspection. He said he believed similar precautions would be taken in cities throughout the United States.

GUARD AGAINST STRIKE BLASTS Tennessee Explosions Are Marked by Gunfire. Bu ’ v.ited PresEL IZ A BETHTON, Term.. May 18. —Six car loads of deputy sheriffs and National Guardsmen were in Carter. Tenn.. tbdav guarding against further outbreaks, following a series of dynamite blasts reported there. No one was injured but the blasting was accompanied by gu.n fire. The explosions were the latest of the many acts of violence marking the strikes in the southern textile mills. Carter, four miles from here on the Stony Creek road, w as the scene Friday of a near riot in the county court house when 700 BembergGlanzstoff strikers hooted, jeered, laughed and hissed at, officials as they prosecuted eighty-three of their arrested associates. A striker. Simpson Crumley, shouted at a deputy sheriff who threatened to arrest disturbers, "Who the hell are you?” The deputy arrested Crumley after National Guard troops forced a passageway for him, through the surging crowd, with bayonets. Highlights of the situation over the past forty-eight hours include: Arrest and release on bond of Ad-jutant-General W. C. Boyd of Tennessee on a warrant charging attempted murder in that he ordered a motor car to drive through a mob of strike pickets causing injury to six; a statement by the president of the American Bemberg and American Glanzstoff Corporation he never would recognize the -union, and arrival of two more units of state troops.

TWO SETS OF CITY PRECINCT LINES LIKELY Council and Commissioners Move to Fix Boundaries for Election. DIFFER ON AUTHORITY x Situation May Reach Point for Courts to De- g 1 cide. Indianapolis, the city which once had two mayors, soon may have ; two sets of boundaries for its pre- ! eincts for the city commisisoner i election in November. This appeared likely today when city councilmen declared they would proceed to fix the precinct boundaries, as councils have for twenty-five years. County commissioners already have an engineer at work outlining boundaries in accord with their wishes. Councilmen who are sympathetic with the city manager movement contend the law gives them the clear right to fix city election precincts. County commissioners, controlled by George V. Coffin, Republican city chairman and arch-enemy of city manager government, contend that they have dug up some new law which gives them the right claimed by the council. It appeared likely that the situation may reach the point where courts would have to decide the dispute. City's Right Twenty-five Years Advised that commissioners are changing boundaries upon advice of Clinton H. Givan, county attorney, Edward B. Raub. president of the council, said: -We. don't need a legal opinion or. the matter. For twenty-five years it. has been the law that the council fi;: the precinct boundaries in city elections. ‘‘There is no question about the law in the matter. In the last few years the county commissioners have fixed the precinct lines and sent them on to the council for ratification. George Snider, commissioner president. said the new boundaries will be announced next week. The number of citv precincts has been increased from 237 to 289. it is under- ; stood. Asks Legal Opinion “If the city wants to go ahead that’s not our problem. There is a question about the situation, but we 1 believe it is our job to make the changes. The boundaries are being checked by the county draftsman,” Snider sa.id. Paul Rathert. election committee chairman of the council, conferred Friday with ' Harry Dunn, county auditor, to learn the stand of commissioners. Rathert said he will discuss the matter with councilmen Monday night before taking further action. William A. Boyce Jr., city clerk, asked an opinion from the city legal department. Attorneys say the council has i authority to fix the boundary lines) under the general election laws which provide that duties of the ; county commissioners shall be per- j formed by council or town board in ! cities and towns. I It further is provided that the I voting precincts shall "so far as j practicable be those established by j the countv commissioners.” Attorneys hold that the council is the bodv to decide the prac- j ticability of the commissioner's j boundaries. The law provides that > no changes be made after the June meeting of commissioners. Coffin could gain an advantage in the citv commissioner election if he could dictate the precinct boundaries so as to make it difficult for persons in promanager territory to get to the polls and easy for those j in the ditsricts where he is supreme.

FEAR DROVE AL CAPONE IN JAIL, OFFICERS SAY

Glad to ‘Take Rap' for Security, Philly Mayor Charges. Bu United Press PHILADELPHIA. May 18Peace and security which A1 Capone says he has been seeking for three years came to him today behind the thick walls of Moyamensing prison. Crowds that hurried along Broad and Market, streets today were ready to accept the report that Capone was driven to jail, not by the power of the police, but by fear of death at the hands of rival gangsters. Mayor Harry A. Mackey said he believed Capone "really was glad” to go to jail. Submitted Easily to Arrest The mayor based his deduction on the fact that Capone submitted so easily to arrest as he was leaving a motion picture theater: on the fact that the gangster pleaded guilty when facing trial on a charge of carrying concealed weaponsTand on the report that a gang council, which had met at Atlantic City to divide the lucrative tribute of the underworld and establish peace, had broken up after six days amid threats on the part of George (Bugs) Moran to “get" Caponq. } Capone denied all that, telling a ! talc of a formal meeting at Atlantic j City at which elaborate articles of! peace were drawn up and signed by j Moran and himself. In support of Mackey's theory j that the gangster wanted to go to | jail was the statement Capone made when Detective “Shooey" Malone pulled a .38-caliber pistol out of the Chicagoan's pocket. Get Out in Ten Months “I'm on the mark, you know—marked for death," Capone said. The year’s sentence which Capone 1 and Frank Cline, the bodyguard v.he was arrested and sentenced with his employer received, may be reduced to ten months by good behavior. When Capone passed through the vide gate of Woyamensing and heard the rattle of the key in his cell lock he could think of nothing more blood-curdling to say than: ‘ Please let my wife and children visit me once in a while. u Recovering From Poison Mrs- Florence Coate, 18. of 311 j South Hamilton avenue, is recover- I ing today in city hospital from poison taken at her home Friday night j in an attempt to commit suicide, following a family quarrel.

head of the licensing division u: the office of Otto G. Fifield. secretary of state, explained th\ absence of the drink question by declaring that they didn't want to make people lie. The questions must be certified to under oath and bear the seal of a notary public. t Those on character include the following:

RACE FANS RUSH TO DOWNS TO SEE BLUE BLOODS STRIVE t FOR BIG STAKES AND GLORY Talk of 100,000 Crowd Heard as Usual Derby; Throng Starts Early for Kentucky fjf Race Course. BRADLEY COLT REMAINS FAVORITE Horse Players Stick With Larkspur Despite Outside Position; Clyde Van Dusen and Naishapur Well Liked. !: LOUISVILLE. May 18.—A light rain began falling here this morning at 8 ;45, threatening to mar, to some extent, the running of the Kentucky Derby. BY FRANK GETTY United Press Staff Correspondent CHURCHILL DOWNS, LOUISVILLE, May 18—Against the most colorful background American sport provides, 100,000 race fans stirred to the fever pitch of excitement on picturesque Churchill Downs, a score or so of the country's finest 3-year-olds were to compete today in the Kentucky Derby. This classic of the American turf, for more than half a century Kentucky s pride, once more found <i Kentucky colt

its outstanding favorite. J The hopes and wagers of the southland were to ride this afternoon along with Little Mack Garner on Colonel E. R. Bradley's Blue Larkspur, with which the genial Louisville sportsman hopes I to win. [ And since the keen-eyed turf men j drawn from distance cities agree I for the most part with Kentucky's I choice, the coal black son of Black j Servant will prance to (he post a ! prohibitive favorite at odds of approximately 8 to 5. None of the Derbj 7 field of twen-ty-six was scratched at the first call at 7 a. m, but some withdrawals were expected during the day. Another of the ever colorful derby crowds to which old Louisville plays host each May was headed early for the Downs, although the field in the classic was not dhe to go to the post, until nearly 5 p. m., central standard time. There w-ere dockers and rail birds hanging on the rails at daybreak peering through the early morning mist towards the gray roofed stables across the way in the hopes of catching a glimpse of a derby contender or two out for a bit of exercise. As the morning advanced, the crowd increased rapidly, for derby crowds come early and stay late and make a holiday of the occasion. Fashionables Take Their Time The fashionable part of the thfong. the Vanderbilts and Raskobs and Jimmy Walkrs, do not put in an appearance at. the Downs until after lunch. Then they advance through the confusion and welter of derby day traffic to the shrill, insistent, piping of police whistles. A gambler, an interior decorator, a carpet manufacturer, a. city councillor, a man who made his millions in “one-arm” lunchrooms and another who made his in church organs. not to forget the 23-year-old pink-cheeked son of a rigorous reformer, are some qf the folk who will send their horses after the rich rewards of the Kentucky derby tomorrow afternoon. The owners of the derby candidates are a. diverse lot. representative of many phases of life. Colonel E. R. Bradley, owner of the favorite, naturally needs no introduction. H. P. Gardner, who owns Clyde Van Dusen, makes carpets for the wholesale trade up in Amsterdam. N. Y. Bathhouse Entry J. J. Coughlin, who is starting Karl Eitel. familiarly is known as The Bath or Bathhouse John. He has spent thirty-two years in a little Chicago office in his capacity as a city councillor. Jacques Cohen, Essare's owner, is : an auctioneer by trade, while L. M. i Severson, whose Paul Bunyan will ; have some support if the track be- j comes muddy, made his money manufacturing church organs. Baron Long, owner of Ervast, is a. well-known California gambler, j and John R. Thompson's lunch j rooms are equally well known in many cities. F. M. Grabner who starts the i highly rated Windy City, is an interior decorator. Mason and Hanger, who think i highly of their horse. The Nut, are millionaire railroad contractors. The term “millionaire” might be applied also to Vermajo's owner, Wagner, the Texas Oil man. Mrs. Graham Fair Vanderbilt owns Chicatie. • while Mrs. E. L.

Desha Breckenridge. owner of the j Lexington Herald, has Lord Braedal- | bane, in today's derby, i These are the owners of the horses I which will go to the post, later in j the day each bent upon winning this | mast valued honor of the American | turf. i Different and seemingly divergent as their private lives may be. when the barrier is sprung and the throaty roar, "they’re off," rounds across the downs, it is a safe bet that for the next three thrilling minutes you couldn't tell which built, church organs and which spun roulette w heels for the money to pay ior the j flashing silks and gleaming horse flesh in the breath-taking stretch ! drive down to the wire. “Sports” and Sportsmen Today’s derby has brought to j Churchill Downs a throng with in- ; forests as widely divergent as those i of the owners. ; Sammy Woolfes. Clark street i sports rub elbows sociably with Paul j Block's private train party. The ordinary social distinctions between clubhouse and grand stand and infield largely are lost, sight of on Derby day. If you “have" the winner, in this mad, gripping, soul stirring whirl around the broad brown ribbon of track, you arc of the elite of the moment. The- luck of the draw placed Blue Larkspur and H. P. Gardner's Clyde Van Dusen in the two extreme outside post positions for the race, bull it may turn out that in the confusion of high-strung, jumpy thoroughbreds at the barrier it will be to their advantage to be a, bit away from things. Naisbapur Looks Good The speedy Naishapur. which should win this afternoon with an even break in racing luck, has drawn No. 5 post position and so will have to break fast to keep from being cut off. These three. Blue Larkspur, Clyde Van Dusen and Naishpaur stand out above the field on form so much that it is inexact to style this. Derby a "wide open race." But strange things happen ir| horse races, and many a time a Derby throng has looked on in bewilderment as some lowly outsider came winging down to the wire all alone out in front with only a handful of pxciteij little stable boys whooping i up on the infield rail.
