Big Zeppelin Hovers Over
Charlotte.
Charlotte Observer.
When it comes to imagination
people in no city have anything
on some Charlotte people, for
Saturday a number of prominent
citizens, distinctly heard th:
whirring of the 500 horsepower
engines on a paper ballon ten
feet long which flew over the
city at an altitude of about 1,500
to 2,000 feet, but which to the
imagination ot those watching
was some two or three miles up.
The estimates varied as to the
height, but there was no dis
agreement as to the throbbing of
the engines and the whirring of
the blades of the propellers. It
could not be ascertained whether
it was a United States army
dirigible, out for observation, or
a German Zeppelin out for a
little target practice, or bringing
a message from the kaiser.
Hundreds of people saw the
balloon when it was far to the
south of Charlotte, evidently
coming from down about Pensacola,
Fla., about the noon
hour. It drifted about the city
for an hour or two and left, final
ly, late in tbe afternoon, in the
direction of Waupaca. Wis.
People gathered in the streets
and watched the "huge monster"
as it floated about over the city,
turning in all directions with
seeming ease. The skill of the
pilot in maneuvering his great
machine was commented upon
favorably and the uniform running
of the ponderous engines
(distinctly heard) was taken as
grounds for paving the Germans
many compliments for their
mastery of machinery.
A few people mounted the
tall buildings about the city and
field glasses, telescopes, opera
glasses and other similar instruments
were brought into
play. There was no longer any
doubt about it then; it was a
dirigible and it carried a crew of
men, they could be seen moving
about the decks of the gondola
of the balloon
l ne real lacts are that some
young men climbed to the top of
a large building and from the
roof of the building sent up
several big paper balloons. The
one shaped like a Zeppelin,
some ten feet long and three feet
in diameter, was decidedly the
most successful in catching the
eye of the public.
Lower House Passes Food ConI
trol Bill
Washington, June 23.?The administration
food control bill.
giving the president broad authority
to control the distribution
of food, feed and fuel for war
purposes and appropriating
5?mz,DUU,UUU lor its enforcement
and administration was passed
bv the house late tonight after
reaching prohibition provisions
had been written into it.
The vote was 3t ?5 to 5, Representatives
McClcmore, Slavden
and Young of Texas (Democrats)
and Meeker of Missouri and
Ward of New Yoik (Republicans)
voting in the negative.
The prohibition provisions
adopted would prohibit the use
of foodstuffs for the manufacture
of alcoholic beverages and
would give the president author
ily to take over for war purposes
all liquor now on hand, They
were put into the measure during
the evening in committee of the
whole and when the bill came
up in the house proper the antiprohibition
faction did not demand
that they be voted on
again.
The bill now goes to the
senate where it probably will be
substituted early next week for
a smaller measure already under
consideration. Leaders hope to
get the measure to conference
by July 1.
