By a year from next fall, said Dr. Hugo Eckener, he hopes to have three big ships, each able to carry 24 passengers and 20 tons of mall and freight, sailing on schedule across the Atlantic. And by that time, he added, the Graf Zeppein "can be put in alco hol an dnreserved." He said it with a smile on his weotherbeaten face and a shru? of his broad, heavy shoulders.

Stock Trading Dull and Spotty i Stocks little diversion In the financial world today. They moved around In circles and did that slowly.

Small losses and gains were the ruie. Trading was the dullest this year. There was little to stimulate in terest. Pools were doing practically nothing. One big trader was leav lng for three months In Europe.

Others were quietly slipping away to more entertaining fields. United States Steel, house, Case Threshing, General Motors. Pullman and others drifted to lower levels, while American Steel Foundries, Foreign Power, Foster Wheeler, Amerada and a few others showed gains. Some of the gains were reduced and some of the losses recovered before the end of the session. STOCK TABLE ON PAGE 33 Hall in Third Round Of Tennis Singles Hartford Conn, June UP) J.

To persons unfamiliar with lcc Islation. a vote to send the bill to conference might appear to indicate mil acquiescence in what the bil contained at that stage of leglsla tion.

Of course no Informed person would take this view. 'The bill is now in the Senate having been acted upon by the con- lerence. The effects of the rate, in my opinion, have been grossly exaggerated by persons who have not studied this bill and contrasted it with the act of 1922.

"It should have been worked out In such a way that rich men, or men having substantial incomes, should not draw pensions from the Government," he declared. "I have made no suggestion at any time of a pauper provision against veter ans or anything akin thereto.

A Miracle to Her An audition at the "Met" is notable event for any singer; but for Fedora Kurban it is a miracle, Seemingly insuperable obstacles have been placed in her path time after time, and yet, almost inex orably, she has moved toward her goal.

Fedora's rela tives lent the weight of their dis approval to her father's position, and Fedora realized that if she was ever to achieve greatness as a singer she must do it against the wishes of her father and her friends. She took the chance. Awes Hearers She sang first In the Orient, in Palestine, in Beirut, in Alexandria, and those who heard her were awed by her talent. After the fashion of the Orient, they sent- her gifts-beads of amber and pearl, and shawls of delicate lace.

South today challenged, the jurisdiction of the Senate Lobby Investigating Committee to Inquire into his activities in Virginia In 1923 against Alfred E. Smith. Democratic candidate for President.

Senator Walsh, Democrat, Montana, in adjourning the hearing, informed the Bishop that "of course you will have to take responsibility" for declining to answer. The Committee took the Bishops challenge under advisement and will come to a decision on the mat-ter tomorrow. "I am not stating that I will decline to answer your questions," Bishop Cannon told the Lobby Committee, "but 1 decline to admit your Jurisdiction." The Bishop's statement came at the end of a mild examination lasting from 10 to 11:30 a.m., in which he answered numerous question'-concerning his activities In behall of prohibition. When Senator Walsh of Montana touched on the conference which was held at Ashe-ville, N. in the summer of 1828, the Bishop announced that ha wished to read a prepared' statement.

He was permitted to do so. Calls Intent Personal The statement set forth two grounds on which Bishop Cannon objected to answering. The first was that the committee Is without Jurisdiction, In that it Is empowered to investigate lobbying with re-fpect to legislation before Congress, but is not empowered to inoulre intn political expenditures In State campaigns. The second ground was that th intent of the committee's examination is personal, not political. "I believe this examination Is nnrt of an effort to attack me on the personal side and to impair my influence, as the wet Roman Cath- ollo press has been dolna since 1928," said Blshon Cannon.

Senator Walsh replied that Bishen Cannon for 30 years has been active in the prohibition movement, and that both as an individual and as a responsible member of various prohibition organizations has been attempting to secure legislation beneficial to prohibition. To secure such legislation, Senator Walsh said, Bishop Cannon and the prohibition organizations tried to elect certain men, sympathetic with their cause, and opposed candidates who were hostile. Acted as Individual Bishop Cannon's ODrtosition In Governor Smith in 1928 fell Into this class, and thus could be re. garded as a definite attempt to influence the action of Congress. "When I opposed Governor Smith," Bishop Cannon said.

"I did so as an individual citizen, not at Chairman of the Board of Temperance and Social Welfare of tha Methodist Episcopal Church South.

Two of the fugitives were recap' tured on highways a few miles from the Institution within a few hours while city, county and State officers engaged in a widespread search Tor the others.

Robertson, superln tendent of the hospital, blamed the break on limited facilities which made it necessary to confine 18 men with dangerous reputations in ward, rather than In separate cells. The night supervisor, Gene Owen, was called to the ward on th? third floor by U. 8. Davis and Bert Hill guards, at 2:30 a.m., after the latter had been told by an Inmate that some of the men there were trying to escape.
