OFFICIAL PR OB II LONDON. Aug. 25. Official investJgations made Thursday at Hull into the ZR-2 disaster failed to produce result, either minimizing its extent or throwing light on the reason why the big airship suddenly broke in two and fell with a majority of tho crew- into the number river. All hope has b-een abandoned that there are other emrvivors of the catastrophe than Norman O. Walker, an American rlgser. and Flight Lieut

A. IT. TV'ann. the commander of the aircraft, and three other British members of the crew. The disaster has stirred tho British public a.s no event has since tho world war, when reports of reverses to allied arms were received, or by air raids by the Germans chronicled. All classes, from royalty downward, has tended to expressions of sympathy both for British and Americans who lost their lives on the ill-fated airship. Probo Cause. The British air ministry and British admiralty are omitting no efforts in salvaging the wreck and investigating the cause of the collapse of the dirigible. The salvage work will continue throughout the night at Hull, although it admittedly is difficult and dangerous. It 1 presumed that a number of the cff.ceri and men of the crew of the ill-fated craft, including Brig. Gen. Maitland. may have been imprisoned in the gondolas by the explosion and met death there. They are believed to have been resting in the gondolas at the time of the disaster, as they had an engagement to attend a dance jn Hull, arranged in their honor Wednesday night. This was to have been in the nature of a farewell gathering in honor of the American. The report that the body of Commander Louis H. Maxfleld. 17. S. N.. had been found turned out to be Inaccurate.

try were at Hull making preliminary' Investigations and gathering all possible data concerning the catastrophe. The ministry announces that after the court at Howden concludes its inquiry further investigations will bo made into the full technical aspect) of the cape by the "Accident Investigation Sub-committee of the Aeronautical Research committee." There is much discussion both on the part of the newspaper. and the public as to the cause of the disaster. Speculation turns mostly toward weaknees of the- girders of the aircraft. An investigation is being urged to discuss the possibility of employing a mixture of helium with hydrogen in order to prevent explosions of gas in the envelopes of aircraft.

Dry Forces Fail to Pass AntiBeer Bill Other Measures Postponed. WASHINGTON, Aug. To tho refrain of '-The Bills They Left Behind Them" congress scattered to the traditional four winds today. Only the members of the senate finance committee were left behind to wrestle with the tax and tariff bills, during the 30 day recess, which began orficiaUy when the senate throw up its hands and quit Just before mid-night with the WillisCampbell anti-beer bill still to be acted upon. Th: measure, earning th antiSaloon League vearch and sejrure amendment reposes rs the shelf, to be called up and debated again when the senate reconvenes a month from now. Failure of the bill to pass finally in tho senate may lead. It was stated, to the issuance of regulations by the treasury department under which physicians will be authorized to prescribe beer and wine for the sick in accordance with the decision rendered by Atty. Gen. Palmer on March C. The failure of the dry forces to rush the measure through before the recess marked the first defeat of the prohibition advocate since the adoption cf the ISth amendment. Their llth-hour battle was lost by a close margin. Among other measures which congress left behind, were the administration bill to extend credits to the railroads, the Penrose bill to grant blanket authority to the secretary of the treasury to fund the $11,000.000.000 Indebtedness of foreign government to the United States, the permanent tariff bill and the revenue bill. The cerate finance committee will continue hearings on the tariff bill during the recess, but may ridetrack this measure for the revenue bill with a view to reporting the latter to the ßer.ate and securing its immediat parage when congress reconvenes.

Formal issuance of the call today followed a conference between the governor and Alexander Cavans of the state legal department, who ha3 been in Sullivan county as the governors representative in obtaining Information regarding1 the situation.
