TARIFF HOLDING
SOLONS’ EYES
Expect Debenture to be Eli
minated From Farm
Relief Bill
WASHINGTON. May 18.—(4*)—
Tariff suggestions had right of way
at the capitol today, with both
branches of congress in adjourn
ment and only the house ways and
means committee republicans meet
ing for a final hearing on appeals
from members of their party for
changes in the schedules they have
recommended.
Disagreements over farm relief
were sidetracked temporarily, but
will be revived Monday by the in
itial meeting of the senate and
house committees charged with ar
bitrating differences between the
two chambers on the export deben
ture section and other points of
difference in the bills they passed.
Of the 10 members of the confer
ence group, only two senators are
on record as favoring the debenture
proposal as part of the farm bill,
and administration leaders are con
fident this bitterly contested part of
the senate measure will be eliminat
ed With other sections also In dis
pute. however. It Is expected to make
the negotiations somewhat lengthy.
Although the house ways and
means committeemen announced to
day's meeting would the last to
hear complaints against their de
cislons in the tariff bill, they ex

expected and the bill la likely to be

CUERS. France, May 18.—<AV*
French bluejacket* stood guard to
day kbout the German dirigible
Graf Zeppelin, housed In the han
gar from which their own ill-fated
Dlkmude went forth five years ago
to disaster. Inside the hangar
French mechanics assisted the
Grafs crew, former enemies, but
now friends in distress, to repair
the damage which had incapacitat
ed, four of the dirigible s five motors.
Ths entire atmosphere was one of
friendltness and good fellowship
with a dash of bitter disappointment
among the Germans that they had
failed to take their ship another
time across the Atlantic.
The first man to call on Dr. Hugo
Eckener, the dirigible s master, after
he arose late this morning, was Rear
Admiral Bintry, commanding the
French naval base at Toulon.
, "I have a duty of gratitude to ful
fill.'’ the German commander told
the French rear admiral. “I tfish
to express my sincerest thanle> to
the French navy for the efficacious
assistance rendered U3 in our land
ing **
In the short conversation which
followed Dr. Eskener insisted espe
cially on the word “efficacious." re
peating it three or four ttmes.
It was no secret here that the
German commander did everything
possible to avert a forced landing in
France. When turning back when
off the coast of Spain it was Dr.
Eckener’s deep-rooted intention to
make Friedrlchshafen under the
dirigible’s own power, even though
two of its motors were already out
of commission.
The third motor pasyd out near
Mines, and the fourth motor was si
lenced when passing over Monteli
mar. In the hours that followed,
the violence of the cold northwest
wind forced a change in his plans,
necessitating even his eventual call
for help to the French authorities.
"We have failed to cross the At
lantic as we had done before and as
we shall do again before long,’’ Dr.
Eckener said.
French naval authorities were
loud in their praise of the manner
in which Dr. Eckener had handled
his ship in an extremely difficult
situation.
Passengers, except those who left
for Cherbourg and Paris, rested to
day at Toulon after the fatigue and
worry for the past two cjp.ya.
Departure of the ZepDelin. either
for Friedrlchshafen or elsewhere re
mained problematical.

plicate tragedies. No. there has
been dirty work somewhere."
. Pour new engines to replace those
which failed were en route today
from Friedrichshafen with other
supplies which Dr. Eckener asked be
sent him. Pending investigation of
the failure of the motors and their
replacement, removal of the Graf
from its hangar here seemed out of
the question. Possibly 15 days was
reckoned as necessary before it
would fly again.
Two hours before the landing at
Cuers. Dr. Eckener wirlessed
Friedrichshafen. by way of Dijon:
“Last two motors showing signs of
giving out: must turn back and go
before the wind.” One of the re
maining two motors had failed when
finally a landing was accomplished.
A little later the Dijon operator
received a message: “Dijon please
relay fastest.” followed by a request
to the French air minister for per
mission to land. It was also sup
plied: "Please get us In touch with
Paris at once."
The French air minister. M Lau
rent-Evnac. however, had not waited
to be asked, and had already in
structed all the air fields In the
! Rhone Valley to render all possible
assistance He had suggested in a
message which apparently had not
reached Dr. Eckener that his best
course was to land at either Orlv
fteld near Paris or at Oners which
was equipped for dirigibles.
Before attempting the landing Dr.
I Eckener dropped Instructions, writ
ten In German, to those below as to
how It might best be accomplished.
Later he remarked thev had shosrn
the utmost precision In the work
even though It was their first expe
r rlence.
Disappointment seemed to have
been the principal emotion of the
passengers. Whatever the officers'
anxiety, they kent it to themselves,
and it was said little or no fear was
displayed on the ship.
SABOTAGE 'ABSURD*,
ECKENER DECLARES
CUERS. France. May 18.—(AV
Dr. Hugo Eckener today character
ibed as "absurd" reports that the
engine trouble of the Graf Zeppelin
came from sabotage.
"Where would the sabotage hare

Langsville, Ohio.—“For years and
years, I suffered with severe head
ache,” says Mrs. Jane Campbell, of
this place.
“It wasn't any pleasure for me to
go places, for I came home with sick
i headache. If I went to church or
i to any social gathering or to town
to shop, when I got back I would
have these headaches and have to
go to bed for a day or more, till I
would just get out of heart and
would not try to go.
I “About 15 years ago I discovered
that Black-Draught was good for
these headaches. I began using it
I would take it two or three nights
In succession if I felt the least bad.
and It sure did wonders for ma It
Is about 14 years since I had sick
headaches, and I can go places and
1 really enjoy life.”
Headache very often Is due to con
stipation. The waste products that
are not properly carried away cause
sick headaches and other disagree
able symptoms.
Take Thedford’s Black-Draught to
cleanse the system and help the di
gestive system to return to a nor
mal state of activity.
