Believer in Air Ships Big Craft Urges War Dept Acceptance
Capt Chandler of the Signal Corps accompanied Leo Stevens on the big war balloon flight and recommends War Department acceptance. Stevens, a Western inventor, says he will receive a government check and that balloons and dirigibles will become vital in warfare as the craft proves its value. The flight from near Harrisburg to Linglestown covered miles in over four hours with passengers McCoy and Chandler aboard, and Stevens predicts widespread use of airships in the military.

Through Rate Rule Declared By ICC Ruling
The Interstate Commerce Commission holds there can be only one through rate between two points at a time, whether joint or composed of separate local rates. The decision covers 30 million pounds of Omaha sugar in transit and rejects moving under a tariff in effect after storage. Commissioner Lane states a binding through rate exists for through routes and that a combination through rate is equally definitive as a joint rate. Lang assigns the applicable through rate to the through business as of shipment origin.
