Lakehurst, N. J., Oct. 16. (UP) — Leaving behind them in the U.S. navy hangar here the Graf Zeppelin in which they completed a flight from Germany yesterday, Dr. Hugo Eckerman members of his crew and passengers left at 1:32 p.m. in today on a special train toward New York.
They expected to transfer to the New York City tug Macon at Jersey City, about two hours later, and after crossing the harbor parapad up broadway to an official welcome awaiting at city hall.
Five hundred men pulled and pushed her great 720-foot bull through the towering entrance into the restaurant her smaller sister the Los Angeles.
Lakeubur, N. J., Oct. 16—(UP) The Graf Zappelin, her pioneering passenger flight across the Atlantic triumphantly achieved, was moved into the bungal of the naval air station here today.
The Graf Zeppelin was taken inside a side at 3 a.m., when weather conditions favored the maneuver. She had been moved to the short must outside since her arrival at 5:40 p.m. yesterday, when she accompanied a wagon, four days, 15 hours and minutes from Friedrichshafen, Germany.
Workers will Work Begins.
Workers will swain oars on her for a week, reinforce the boat's stablifier, torn by a storm at sea, inspecting the hull and engines and reconditioning the world's first pennum aircraft airline for a return trip.
The chief thrill of the voyage camp Friday night in mid-Major south west of the Azores, when the Great Zepulim encountered a small green island which keeps the boat on a steady keel, was ripped open by the wind.
Passenger Describes Storm
One passenger said the ship took a four-hour dip, bunking in the wind. The passengers that she was going to plunge into the Atlantic. The ship was held to an even keel, however, and the speed cut down. Then Kurt Keebler, 23, son of the commander, climbed on board and threw off what remained of the crew and made fast what remained of the covering.
"We had to slow down, as it was impossible to make the repairs going at full speed," Dr. Eckener said. "I had set out to make good a promise to take this ship across the Atlantic and find an alternate route." I believe the ship has been sufficient to demonstrate the possibilities and perfection of the airship."
Radio Plays Big Part

inform the navy about messages to
the navy department regarding the
ship's position during the voyage
The Graff "Zeppelin" apparent reluctance at times to answer queries
about the ship's status among naval officers here.
Rosendahl said the Graf Zoppell was at no time in danger. He explained that when the fin cover burst, he sent a radiogram to the navy asking for vessels to stand by, at the request of Eckener, purely as a precautionary measure. That would certainly mean that might be the case. Ten minutes later he cancelled the request, he added, when the true state of affairs was disclosed.
The general opinion of the passengers regarding the trip appeared to have been favorable. The chief complain was the hardship of not being able to smoke and the shortage of drinking water.
"Water was scarcity during the journey," said Theo, Matenjo, German cartoonist, "the other passenger. "We had plenty of wine, champagne and liquors, however. There was enough food for two days more, when we returned."
No Food Shortage
Robert Reiner, New Jersey manufacturer, said he would not make the flight again. Reiner complained of the lack of heat in the quarters.

Radio Commission Grants University New Wave Length
Stations KFKU and WREN to Share Time on New Frequency Given to Them
Assurance that the University's radio station, KFKU, and WREN, local station, will not have to share time with KSAC, the station of the agricultural college at Manhattan, was见证er last night.
A telegram from the federal radio commission to the University extension division gave notice that after November 15, KKFU and WREN will operate 202 kbiley telecoms 245.6 meters) instead of 159 kbiley meters (245.2 meters).
This is practically an acceptance of the requests made by the University and the operators of WREN, according to Dean George C. Shand of the Scholb of Engineering and Architecture.
The 1220 kilocycle channel is practically free of interference in this vicinity, no highpower stations nearer than Minneapolis, Minn., being assigned to the channel Dean Saad said.
Permission To Raise Power Given
The University station is given permission to raise its power output from 500 to 1800 watts while the university station will be taken advantage of except on special occasions. WHEN will increase its power from 750 watts to 1,600 watts under the new arrangement, and will install a special device to be used at the station on its assigned frequency.
The new wave length is the result of requests for the modification of the schedule announced by the federal radio commission on September 8. Acrecented with a frequency of 1010 kilocycles and a frequency of 500 watts, to be shared with WEEN and KSC. This arrangement was not only difficult for the three stations in broadband, but it also put them in a Canadian obstacle.
Representatives Were Dissatisfied
Dissatisfied with the schedule, representations from the three stations requested from the radio commission modifications of the arrangement.
The culmination of the prosecution of the university extension division received the following telegram:
Washington, D. C.
Oct. 15, 1928
Modification of announced schedule changes from 1010 kilobytes 560 watts to 1220 kilobytes 1000 watts. The system uses the xtreme home based accordingly.

Prof. Guild Gives Lecture to Women on How to Vote
Fells What Procedure Mus
Be Followed by Absent
Voters From
Each State
F. Prof. F. H., Guild, department of Political Science, spoke before the University League of Women Voters yesterday afternoon in Frassell for the purpose of explaining the voting procedure in voting for the next election.
"There are 406 students at the University who are residents of Lawrence and will vote regularly on election day," Professor Guild said. "The students living in Kansas outside of Lawrence of which there are 1117, will vote at the county courthouse in Lawrence.
Ten states require that voters must be present in order to vote election day. These states include Missouri, Colorado and Oklahoma. Students from 31 other states may vote by mail but the voter must be cast before election day and immediate correspondence, a Professor Guild combined.
For students living outside of Lawrence in Kansas, Professor Guild outlined this procedure:
"Voters living near Lawrence should return home to vote if possible.
"All others should go to the county court house early on election day. The city has provided a special room for voters." The department of political science will maintain an absent voters' information service at the county court house.
*"Register. If you live in a first or second class city you must be registered or you cannot vote. If you do not know what class city you live in, Reference Bureau, K. U. 80, Mr. Bplz or Miss Wilder can tell you at once.
"If you voted two years ago and have not moved, you need not register in most cities. Registration is required this year for everyone in Kansas."
"Write home. You must know your voting precinct. We cannot discover that for you. In a city it will be a ward or precinct of a ward; the 2nd precinct of the 3rd Ward, for example. In the country it is usually the township, but that may be divided into two or more precincts. You will need this information to verify affidavit and on the envelope required in order that your ballot may be returned to the proper officials.
"Write home. The district and local ticket handed you will be blank. You must have with you your driver's license, candidates to fill the blanks properly."
Some of the states which require that voters must be within the state to vote are Arkansas, Colorado, Florida, Maine, Missouri, Nebraska, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Oregon and Washington your home city to vote in these states, but you must cross your state line, Professor Guild said.

State Will Substitute Coal for Oil to Heat University This Year
Large Saving in Price of Fue Makes Change Advisable at This Time
State officials have found, after a month's trial, that it will be cheaper to use coal instead of oil for fuel at the university. Charles G. Rayle, apprentice of buildings and grounds, said this morning. Even though it is necessary to install new equipment in schools, students' year will be approximately the same as last year, when oil was used, it is estimated.
Mr. C. G. Bayles stated that the contract for state fuel was let about a month ago. The price on fuel oil wore a 74 barrel at Arkansas City, and the price of coal $1.55 at the Chokecreek mines. The University expects to burn 60 per cent of its coal district and 40 per cent from Lansing. The Chokecreek district is in southeastern Kansas and the coal, which it bitumen, is shipped from Cornell, Kans. The contract was awarded to the Smith Leavitt Coal Company, Pleasanton, Kansas and the coal, which it bitumen be adjusted to make it equivalent to other, approximately $1.75 a ton.
Equipment is now installed to burn Lansing coal, which consists of chain grade stokers. Under feed stokers are used to burn Cherokee coal. These two stokers cost the state $25,000.
The total requirement for this institution is based on the consumption of coal, which is approximately 100,000 tons. This would be approximately $25,000 worth of coal to be used this year. Last year the school used 145 carbonds of $0,000. Two years ago the average coal consumption was 60,000 tons per day. Six to six days a day. The average daily consumption of coal is at present about 29 tons daily.

Ye Old Custom, Whereby Invasions Push Toward the Ancient Wall: of Aggieville, Again Comes to Pass
A great victory is in store for the University of Kansas football team next Saturday, which will feature fake plays and great gains through holes in the Aggie line, if the triumph of a handoff of K. U. fans over the Angels early this (Tuesday) morning is any indication. The University men outmanouvered the sleepy Manhattan students who were posted as sentinels at all the enclosed entrances to the campus and penetrated the county lines and decorated the sidewalks in front of east building.
The Jayhawkers, seven strong, made three unsuccessful attempts to get within the walls of the college before they finally accomplished the task. They went to the hattan campus at I a. a. m. in the morning aroused the suspicion of the "cooways," who chased the intruders out of town twice. Once the K. U. students were out, they into a fraternity driveway, lighting cigarettes and entering the house.
the campus. By so doing they were able to walk undisturbed through one of the gates and past two automobile loaded with sleeping Agrie "senti nels". One of them stirred, yawned and turned over.
The offensive was divided into two parties, stationed on opposite corners of the grounds. One group set up a great noise which attracts the 50 Ağri men to the spot, whil the second group painted huge "49 1228" on several of the walls. The turmoil was so intense that nursemaid had gone to sleep at twitch, offered too big a problem by cause of the size of its cage.
Attempts to similarly disfigure the big letters south of the city were useless because the letters were protected by a circle of bonfires.
Fearing that the Aggies might off their only means of escape from the town, which was the bridge near the school, they decided to time of their work, and left hurriedly. They arrived in Lawrence about 9 a.m. m. this morning only to find that our own campus, unguarded during the war, had been taken by fans from the "Cow College."
