Funding of
Railroads
Is Rapped
McAdoo Declares Gov
ernment Not "Moral
ly, Legally" Bound
to Program.
Washington, Aug. 24. Disap
proval of the administration's rail
road funding bill, recently report
ed to the senate interstate com
merce committee, was expressed
by William G. McAdoo, former
director general of railroads, in a
letter presented to the senate to
day by Senator Stanley, democrat
Kentucky, who requested Mr. Mc
Adoo's views after the committee
refused to hear him.
The sovernment is not "morally
and legally bound", as stated by
President Harding, to fund tne
t7fi.rnnfl.000. the railroad owe the
government for additions and bet
terments, Mr. McAUoo asseriea.
He declared "the president must
have been misled into making such
a statement" adding that the law
provides for the funding of the
"remaining Indebtedness" of the
railroads, Which he calculated at
9263,000,000.
Payment of this balance, Mr.
McAdoo said, may be deferred ten
years by the railroads provided
satisfactory security was given
and six per cent interest were
paid.
He urged that before any
further advances were made, the
railroads be required to abandon
the "inefficiency of labor" claims
amounting, he estimated, to about
$500,000,000.

Explodes In Air
HULL, Eng., Aug. 24 Disaster overtook the giant diri
gible ZR-2 late this afternoon. The monster airship exploded
over the River Humber here, falling into the stream a mass
of flames, the explosion and fall bringing death to many of
the officers and men on board, among whom were five Amer
ican commissioned officers and nearly a dozen other Amer
icans of lesser ranking, in addition to the regular British

The giant airship ZR-2, purchased by the United States
from Great Britain, exploded over the city of Hull today,
according to advices received here shortly after 6 :30 o'clock
this evening.
The airship is a wreck in the river Humber and it is feared
there was some loss of life.
The airship was passing over Hull in fine style when sud
denly it was seen to break in two. Instantly there were ter
rific explosions and the airship burst into flames and com
menced to descend. Three parachutes were seen to leave
the ZR-2.
Thousands of the people of Hull witnessed the disaster,
which occurred at 5:40 o'clock. As the explosion occurred
they dashed panic-stricken in all directions for fear of being
enveloped by the wreckage, which fell just over the Victorian
pier.
Two dead and a number of injured were landed from the
river and conveyed to the Hull infirmary.
A dispatch to the Press Association from Hull says five
men were saved from the crew of forty-nine.
