BT WILLIAM PARKER. (lN. 8. Special Correspondent) Mines Field, Los Angeles, Aug.

27. Undaunted by two narrow escapes from disaster, the Graf Zeppelin was flying swiftly and serenely over Arizona and approaching New Mexico today. It took oft at 12:18 o'clock this morning (4:16 a. E. D.

to complete the fourth and final leg of Its round-the-world flight from Lake-hurst, N. J. 1 After a careful survey of weather maps. Commander Hugo Eckener decided to take a somewhat northern route, It was learned, flying over Oklahoma, Kansas City, possibly Chicago, then to New York and Lakehurst. He expected to land at Lakehurst Wednesday evening.

Two Exciting Incidents. The take-off at Mines field was marked by two dramatic incidents. As a throng of persons estimated at half it million was shouting god-speed to Dr. and his giant craft, the CunglDie dragged us rwos iuuj vue-quarter of a mile in the soft earth. The rudder was slightly damaged.

Apparently fearful of further dam- age, water ballast was loosed quickly to gain altitude, but the stern of the Oraf missed only by ten or twenty feet high-tension electric wires outside the field. The cheering multitude became speechless in anticipation of a catas- trophe, only again to cheer vociferously as the Zeppelin soared swiftly southward, gaining altitude as It flew. Point Loma, near San Diego, 110 air mile from Los Angeles, was the first to sight the Zeppelin after it left Los Angeles. It then flew southeast and crossed Mexican territory, returning once more to the United States at Yuma, Ariz. It was persistently reported before the air liner departed that this would be Dr.

Eckener's "Swan Song" as an aerial captain, that he would devote his future life to executive duties with the Zeppelin Company at Frledrich- aha I It was said, too, that Lieut. Jack C. Richardson, S. of Los Angeles, navigating officer of the American dirigible Los Angeles, would navigate the Zeppelin after It got under way. Lieut.

Richardson smiled' when asked to confirm the report, but would not deny It. Dimmed searchlights continued to play on the vessel as it moved slowly to the center of the field. Several hundred distinguished persons, national, state and local, followed closely. Three hundred white-clad marines and blue-clad sailors held tightly to the "spiders" to keep it close to the ground as they "walked" it along. Fate of Any A significant exhibit visible In the navigating cabin was a parachute.

This was repeatedly announced over xthe broadcast system, as though to warn adventurous youth that It would be utilized by Dr. Eckener for any possible stowaway who would be discovered after the departure of the Zeppelin. The potential stowaway must take his own chances if be Is summarily dispossessed. With the ground breeze in the direction of the ocean, his chances for landing In the sea were considered good.

The big ship missed a network of high tension electric wires on the edge of the field by what appeared to be not more than Inches, although the actual margin was about ten feet. To the passengers in the main cabin of the ship, the experience was more hair-raising than their experience In passing through a terrific electric storm off the coast of Japan last Saturday. The near destruction of the airship was apparently caused by a so-called "Inversion;" that Is, Immediately above the cool stratum of ground-air, there is a much warmer stratum of air. When the Zeppelin reached this warm stratum, it refused to rise any higher. Some of the Graf's passengers, most of whom were leaning out of the windows of the main cabin, watching the scenes on Mines Field as the Graf took off, were almost frozen with horror as the big ship trundled steadily and seemingly Irresistible toward the network of high tension wires, lighted with their red danger lamps.

Would the ship never lift! Nearer and nearer the dread wires the ship approached, and still It did not lift. Then, Dr. Eckener quickly dropped 600 pounds of emergency water supply, and the ship zoomed up, to clear the wires by about ten feet. It was the first real scare the passengers on this epochal flight have experienced in the operation of the airship, Karl von Wlegand, one of the Zeppelin's passengers, who has bad more experience In llghter-than-alr ship travel than any of the other civilian passengers, was inclined to be sharply critical of the handling of the airship. Cause of Near Disaster.

Lady Grace Drummond-Hay, the only woman passenger aboard, and has shared most of the trials through which the Graf Zeppelin has passed on its various travels, again vu apparently the most unaffected person on board the ship. Dr. Eckener explained the narrow escape was due to his miscalculation of the air temperature Just above the lower stratum, which proved to be only a few feet thick. SEEK TO FORM U. S.

Discussion today centered about details of forming the sales corporation as one unit of marketing without disturbing the present scheme of various pools and co-operative associations. Among the main questions under debate was that of establishing unity of action for grain marketing without destroying the identity of member organizations.

members reported that sentiment among the 650,000 grain growers represented by the co-operative groups which are working out the prdject, is overwhelmingly favorable. Organization of the corporation awaits completion of a maze of details which rnustbe wprked.out accurately, according to William H.

Bedouin tribesmen are reported active, horning villages, In support of the war the Arabs are making against Jews In the holy land. Jerusalem, Aug. 27MINS) With more than 100 Jews and an undetermined number of Arabs dead, the inter-racial rioting between Moslems and Hebrews continued today, even the presence of a large force of British troops being ineffective in quelling the disturbances. The situation is becoming more serious hourly, as the Moslem hordes apparently are unaffected by the presence of British troops, and are continuing their attacks upon Jewish residents of the villages surrounding Jerusalem.

Although several attacks, including one bombing, were reported in the Holy City, the situation In Jerusalem proper Is more or less under control, but that prevailing in the scattered villages throughout Palestine is presenting a serious problem to the British authorities. Check-op Impossible. A complete check-up of the dead and Injured remains impossible, as the Moslem raiders persist in their custom of removing the bodies of fallen combatants Immediately. Lack of proper communications between Jerusalem and outlying communities makes it difficult to estimate the number of Hebrew casualties, but it now appears that the Jewish deaths have passed the 100 mark. Activities of the Arab raiders have not been confined to attacks upon Jews, for reports were "received here today of an assault upon a British troop train near Jaffa.

This report, coupled with others of similar nature which have been circulated since the pogrom slarted, confirm the opinions of many observers that the1 present situation is due less to anti-Semitism than It Is to a genuine revolt. No More Warships. London. Aug. 27.

Conard of Urbana Suggests City Direct Tree Spraying. 1 The scurvy scale, the oyster shell scale, the bag worm and other pests are sapping the life of the trees of Mattoon, the younger trees in particular.

The older trees annually are being damaged seriously by the tree butcher. J. S. Conard of Urbana, one of the state's orchard Inspectors, who made a hasty survey of Mattoon shade trees late on Monday afternoon in company with Theodore Rathe, local orchardist and tree expert; M. R.

Mount, president of the Association of Commerce, and a representative of The Journal- Gazette, says the condition is becoming serious and that the pests wUl possibly get beyond control unless an organized effort is soon made to bring about a cure. Spraying at Proper Time. For the trees that are being damaged by the scale bark louse, the bag worm and such pests, he advocates spraying at times when spraying will kill the pests. For the riddance of the tree butcher he advocates employment of tree surgeons. He recommends that both spraying and tree surgery be done by or under the supervision of experts provided by the city of Mattoon.

"There is no set time for the spraying of trees," said Mr. Conard. "The spraying must be done when the insect will eat the poison. There Is no definite number of times for spraying. Spraying must be done often enough to kill the pests, and this depends upon circumstances.

If a rain comes immediately alter spraying; the poison will probably be washed away and the pests wlU not feed upon it." Mr. Conard found scurvy scale on the elm trees. He found oyster shell scale on the Carolina poplars and other trees. He found the cocoons of the bag worm' on most of the trees of the city. Some of the trees infected by the "bag worm are almost defoliated.

Mr. Conard found a lot of the bag worm cocoons empty, the worm and Its eggs having been destroyed. This was a surprise to him as he did not see any evidence of a parasite, or natural enemy. "If there Is a parasite or natural enemy for the bag worm at work In Mattoon, the situation will be greatly relieved," he said. "The bag worm does not attach it self In the egg laying period to a leaf that will fall, but to a small twig, with a silken thread," said Mr.

Conard. "This bag remains there safely all winter, and when the eggs hatch the new crop of worms have tender shoots close at hand to work upon." Lives on Tree Sap. According to Mr. Conard, the San Jose scale, the scurvy scale, the oyster shell scale and all other scales are homes for a mite that lives oft the sap of the tree. The San Jose scale, he said, came to America from the old country, and a natural enemy had to be Imported from Japan to combat the pest.

The pest Is sometimes spread through nursery stock. One of the natural enemies to the scale insects is the lady bug beetle, according to Mr. Conard. "If the situation grows much worse In Mattoon," said Mr. Conard, "it will be of no use to transplant new trees until the pests are removed.

The tree pests, commonly speaking, are no fools. They know where the Juiciest trees are, and those are the ones attacked first. The young tree has a continued fight for life, even though unattacked by pests. With pests attacking the young trees, their lives are uncertain. The old trees have well established root systems and are better able to overcome the pests.

These trees shower down pests upon the smaller trees. Suggests City Spray. "My recommendation would be that the city undertake the responsibility of tree spraying. It would be no use to spray here and there, leaving un-sprayed trees among sprayed trees. If the city should see to the spraying of the trees in the streets, maybe the property owners then would look after the trees upon their own property.

The city should also have some one who knows tree surgery to look after the trees." Mattoon residents Interested In the shade trees of the city are becoming alarmed over the situation and are volunteering to assist wherever and whenever possible. show, will spend Labor Day at the 101 Ranch near Ponca City, Okla.

27. Federal prohibition administrators throughout the United States have been Instructed by the treasury department to make every effort to obtain a large measure of cooperation from municipal, county and state officials In the enforcement of the federal dry laws. The regional administrators have been directed to see to it, so far as Is practicable, that the local authorities shall take over the prosecution of such offenses against the law as the sale of liquor in road houses and In speakeasies, and other acts that are held to fall properly within the police power of the states and their various subdivisions. Action In New York. The policy to be pursued In the country at large is in line with that announced in New York City by Prohibition Administrator Maurice Campbell.

Campbell explained that In view of the recent unanimous decision of the New York court of appeals' decision ruling that speakeasies were subject to the state penal law as public nuisances he would hereafter submit to each prosecution attorney and every police chief within the limits of the second prohibition district a copy of aU complaints submitted to him construed to be an offense punishable by jtate law. Like Information, Campbell said, would be furnished to each district attorney within the metropolitan district. Treasury officials said today that Campbell's declaration that he would permit his agents to testify In local state courts In New York at the trial of dry cases met with their approval, and that, in fact, the New York administrator's declaration of policy with respect to the federal attitude toward state authorities was In harmony with a general circular on the subject that had been forwarded to all of the regional supervisors some weeks ago. Prompted by "Hlgher-Ups." While the federal government has sought for years to persuade the states to exercise their police powers the fullest In the enforcement of dry laws they are going about it now In a more determined manner. This, It Is understood, Is due In part to the promptings of persons "higher up" In the administration.

Treasury officials are elated over the decision of the New York court of appeals which defined a "speakeasy" as a "public nuisance," and the operation of such a "public nuisance" as a "crime against the order and economy of the elate." According to treasury officials If this section Is administered In the spirit In which the state court Interpreted It, prohibition enforcement conditions will be Improved where, the law is violated despite the federal government's endeavors to hold the bootleg trade In check.
