J., last week. Details of the flight became known for the first tline today. The-C-3, with Knslgn Clarence W Tyndall, of New Vo'rk. In command, left Its hangar at 4:35 o'clock last Wednes day afternoon, and remained aloft for thirty-three hours and six minutes under the most unfavorable weather conditions 'possible ' for a balloon to combat. Rain, wind, snow, and an ex tremely low , temperature combined to handicap the aeronauts. Because It was 'the purpose of the naval aero authorities at the Cape May base to have the C-3 break the world's record for all .types of flying machines by remaining aloft longer than seventy three hours, the record for the rigid or Zepnelln type of balloon, announcement of the second alte'mpt was withheld at the direction of the Navy Department, On Its first long-distance cruise, made about three weeks ago, with Knslgn Reginald Houghton In command, the C-3 cruised for twenty-seven hours and cov ered a total of more than 1000 miles. Admit Oierieas flight Plana Officer at the Cape May nasal air station admitted some time ago that the crew of the C-3 really was put through a. rigorous ccurse of training In prep aration for an attempt to cross the At lantic Ocean In the nnvy's largest dirigible. The two cruises made thus far actually were preliminary to this feat, they believed. It was Indicated that the Navy. Department Is anxious that the honor of being the first to cross the Atlantic by air shall go to a naval flier, and the department's aerial experts believe that a dirigible balloon will stand a better chance of being success ful than an airplane, The naval fliers. It Is sajd, are wait ing only for favorable weather condi tions to launch their transatlantic flight. The C-3, newest of the navy's dirigibles, may be the aircraft selected for the attempt. Meanwhile, a large dirigible Is being mada ready In Eng land b' English aeronauts for. a flight to New York. While atmospheric conditions were Ideal fori balloon flights when the C-3 left Its'hangar shortly before sundown Wed nesday, t I had been aloft only a few hours when a heavy rainstorm broke and made cruising extremely difficult, the effect of the rain being to deflate the envelope and cause it to lose buoyancy. Cruliea Through Hale and Hnon- The C-3's course was laid up the coast from Cape May and soon after darkness fell she cruised low over Atlantic City. With all her lights on, and moving at sixty miles ,an hour In the teeth of a stiff gale,, the dirigible presented a spec tacle against the blackness of the Bky that attracted the eager attention of thousands along the Boardwalk. Later during the night, after the rain had ce,as'ed falling, the C-3 encountered extremely cold temperatures and was obliged to fly at an unusually low alti tude, keeping Its course over the sea whenever possible. Only the skillful handling of the wheel saved the dirigi ble from being wrecked several times. Members of the crew suffered severely from exposure, but despite the fact that the fuselage was half filled with water draining down from the envelope, soak ing their clothing, which froze to them, they borJJp splendidly. On ThurSdaythe C-3 cruised through a, snowstorm, and for hours Ensign Tyndall had to depend entirely upon his compass for guidance,. It being Impos sible to see the earth through the thick white blanket. The, balloon itself was invisible for long stretches to watchers below. Not once during the entire cruise, however, was the C-3 unable to maintain, communication with the naval air station. As on the first long-distance cruise, the supply of gasoline was replenished while the balloon was still In flight. Early Friday morning, the C-3 began to develop motor trouble, due to rain water and snow driving Into the fuel tanks, and at 1:31 o'clock that morning, battling bravely with the raging gale and faclnr untold dangers In the dark ness, the C-3 descended safely at the flying field at Cape May and was piloted Into Its hangar. Naval aero experts said that there la1 no Instance on record of a' dirigible descending under such condi tions at night and avoiding a wreck. With Ensign Tyndall on the C-3 were O. JC Wollam, altitude pilot; Knslgn Charles E. Bauch. assistant pilot and coxswain ; Gunner V. A. Anthony, radio operator and assistant .pilot, and W, C. Foster and C. J. Deal, 'mechanicians. Young Filet an Expert Aviator Ensign Tyndall, the pilot In command of the C-3, Is only twenty-nine years old and is an expert avlator-as well as an aeronaut. e emerea me naval air service In April. 1917, and during the war usurcu twice in airplane accidents but escaped with minor Injuries. lie was flying for five years before entering the naval service.

Members of the Senate and House of Itepreseiitatives will have the preference In seeing liov ernor Sproul on days when the legisla ture is In session. Owing to the numerous callers at the Uovernor'H olllce It has been found necessary to make such nn arrangement. Persons "who -lslted the executive department today found the new rule In effect. The plan brings to the slate caiiltol a rule which has been In operation at Washington and at mnny state capltols. As far as possible, the lawmakers will make appointments to see the executive. Few Governors have- had such a lush of visitors as Mr. Sproul. They have come from all sections of the state, practically all of them on tho days when the, legis lature Is In session. Many have come unannounced, while others have wired that they Intend to call without Inquiring whether It is convenient for the Governor to sec them. One of the leasons for the new ruling Is the desire of the Governor to see the legislators and to discuss pending meas ureu nnrt those iii Drosoect. In addition the Governor Is understood to need time to go over drafts of bills being prepared for him by the Attorney General and which have had to be laid aside to meet delegations and visitors. BILL HITS AT BAIL-GOERS Would Permit Cash Bond to Guarantee Appearance By a Staff Correspondent llarrltburc, l''eb. 18. The Houfc thli. morning pasred finally a bill Introduced by Mr, Uoehrlng, of Allegheny, permit ting a defendant In a criminal case to deposit with the clerk of court the sum of money in which ball Is demanded in lieu of the ball now provided for by law. "Upon making such deposit." the bill provides, "the defendant shall receive from the said officer a receipt for the sum deposited, and he shall be forth with discharged from arrest in the ac tion In which said deposit was made, and the liability of the other bail. If any has been given, shall cease and deter mine." Representative Wallace, of New Castle, attacked the bill, declaring that "ball Is not to .collect money, but to bring the defendant Into cuurt for trial. This bill would not make any one le sponslble to bring the defendant Into court." Uoehrlng, the sponror of the meas ure, said the purpose of the bill was to "do away with professional bondsmen and permit the man who owns no realty, but has a little cash, to use the cash In lieu of realty as his bond."
