SCOOPED BY A FOREIGNER

1t was left for Dutch army officer, in borrowed aero
plane to establish record for nonstop flight between
Los Angeles and San Diego last Sunday.
Lieut. H. Pooen made the 224 miles in 2O5 minutes at
times attaining speed of 80 miles per hour And he
had been the route before Capt Dodd of Uncle
Sans army aviation corps at San Diego formerly held the
record of 260 minutes for the same flight.
This is not in any reflection this country's
avators The greatest flying feas daily being
performed by civilian air in America But that young
officer from the aviation corps of foreign country
to the very heart of this counts military aviation grounds
and upon the first attempt reduce the best record of Of
cers by 20 per cent is hmang Our officers not to
blame It's the penurous short sighted policy Of the de-
partmen which will not provide them with anything like the
facilities other countries, including Holland furnish to their
military aviators.

IuterbOrOughs

The OF the marlborough
Metropolitan Company has obtained the
necessary authorization from the stock
holders TO put through the proposed
consolidation plan. The opposing ele-
ment. as expressed by the number of
dissenting notes, was small. The Public
Service Commission has already an
nounced that IL considered the matter
outside OF its jurisdiction. The only
thing apparently that stands In the way
of n complete contamination OF the plan
is the possibility of attempts on the part
of the disserters to hold up the plan by
court action. That this possibility is
regarded seriously is suggested by the
market for the shares. The Interb0rough
shares We're strong yesterday. but they
showed no enthusiasm. Both common
and preferred sold well underneath the
market established for the new stocks
when issued on the curb. These new
stocks sold on the curl at 247s for the
common and ~ for the preferred. The
curb market represents the idea OF the
speculative community as TO the value
OF the new stocks when issued. If the
plan was considered as good ms nut
through there should be no such cap
between the prices Of the old and rev
shares.

BosToN, June 1.-The New Haven

bond bill were vetoed to-day by GOV.

Legislature for adopting a measure
which he branded as contrary to the
laws of the state, to its railroad policies
and hostile to wishes and rights of the
citizens.
Gov, Walsh emphasized the fact that
he was ready to indorse such a bill as
the Public Service Commission reported.
but not a measure in which vicious
changes had been made. He said
THE question is one of national i'm
portance and the issue Is whether the

be charged with all sorts of extortion
