ONLY ONE BIDDER
 FOR AIRsHIP CONTRACT
For Mail Service on Routes in Alaska
 and Massachusetts. as


 Washington, May 12.-opening of bids today at the post office depart ment for aeroplane mail service on seven routes in Alaska and one in Massachusetts developed only one bid der. D. L. Byers, of Iditarod, Alaska, offered to undertake service for a year between Seward and Iditarod, a dis tance of 380 miles, for $45,000. The department will consider it's accept ance.
 Department officials attributed the lack of bids to the fact that Ameri- can aeroplane manufacturers are busy on contracts for the European bel igerents and most of them have sold their products far in advance. OnS concern wrote Postmaster-ge general Burleson that existing contracts with the United States government stood in the way of it's making a bid. The department has learned, it was said today, that some manufacturers will consider the aero mail routes la ter and another call for bids prob ably will be issued when there are in- dications that responses will be forth coming. . k The seven Alaskan routes proposed would cover much of the territory The cost of overland transportation on most of them is high, in some in- i stances as much as $100,000 year The Seward-Iditarod route costs now I $22;865. The Massachusetts route on which bids were asked is from New Bedford to Nantucket. Its cost to the government now is $23,0O0 a year.

 Abraham Bronstein of New London was produced as bondsman, but State Attorney Hull objected that he was unsatisfactory, bringing out the in- formation that his property was as- sessed at $36,O00 and was mortgaged for $2S,000. Judge Reed sustained the objection and ruled against Bronstein as bondsman.
 Friends of Pumerantz tried for an hour to secure bonds1nan that would be acceptable but without success and Pumerantz was compelled to go to jail. Friday morning they renewed their search and finally succeeded in getting Effenbein who came to Nor wich, was accepted and filed the bonds. Pumerantz being later re- leased.
 The appeal to the supreme court will be heard at the October session in Norwich Counsel for the defense have not as yet filed their reasons for appeal but it is understood that the principal Treason will be on the ad- mission by Judge Reed of the door castings, as evidence. {, PumeraTitz came to the superior court office in this city on Friday ir the custody of Sheriff Tubbs.

Asks Financial Interests
to Aid Farmers in Getting
Loans on Cotton Crop

Fort Worth, Tex, September IL.
Especial )-Henry N. Pope. president of
the Association of Farmers Union
States Presidents, has written all south
ern zeongressmens and candidates for
Congress and the presidents of all
southern state bankers associations
asking for concert of action on the part
of the financial interests and govern
ment in protecting at IL cents per
pound minimum loan on all cotton
crops.
In discussing the plan Mr.. Pope today
made the following statement: 1.-THE
federal bank has made per cent loans
on cotton in storage possible, but this
legislation should be supplemented by
a minimum loan price so as to protect
the cost of production. and give Ameri-
can commerce an effective trade weap-
on. American cotton occupies a COM
handing position in world trade that
no other product holds. Nature has for
hidden all other countries to produce
1t and society has demanded that the
citizens of every country, race or
cline wear it. 1t Is the only exclusive
Istaple American product on land or
sea and this God-given advantage Is
forfeited through lack of a capable
marketing plan. A 12-cent loaning min
imum would mean a 20-cent selling
minimum, or it would enable the farmer
to hold his own with the bears.
