Curtiss Men Accused of
'Doctoring' Bad Planes
Two Foremen Charged With
Concealing Cracks in Air
craft Engine Castings

ELMIRA, N. Y. June 22.-Lew Long
we'll and Hector Bordeau, foremen in
the Curtiss aeroplane factory at Ham
mondsport, were arrested Friday by
government agents on the charge Of
violating the act of April 20, 1918,
against the wilful injury or destruc-
ton of war materials.
The men are accused of concealing
cracks and checks in aluminium crank
cases intended for government war
airplane engines, four specific instances
being cited between April 20 and
June 20.
The men were brought to Elmira to-
day and arraigned before United States
Commissioner Bertram L. Newman.
Bail was fixed at $4,000 each pending
hearing here Monday afternoon at 2
o'clock. This is said to be the first
arrest in the United States under this
act
The offence is said to have been
committed to get the material past the
government inspectors in the effort to
speed up production rather than as
sabotage with the intention of aiding
the enemy.

'Cross-Ocean FLIGHT

The Aero Club of America expressed
hearty approval yesterday Of the state.
ment by Major General William
brancker, Of the British Royal Air Ser
vice, that preparations should be made
to send bombing air planes across the
Atlantic under their own power. and
announced that it had asked two weeks
ago for bids for planes to make the
fight.
William H. Workman, representat;v.
Of Handley Page, it was said. had re.
pied, but wanted the terms treated as
confidential. leopold Belloni. the c..
prom representative, is preparing the
terms of his bid. Aero Club officials
declared they reached the decision tn
hnance transatlantic fights altar
Lloyd's had declined to insure n
$4,000 prize that was to be offered for
the feat, declaring that such a FIGHT
was feasible and would be made.
The club considers a demonstration
of its feasibility important not only be-
cause Of the swiftness with wh;rb
planes could be delivered by air. hut
because of the enforced immunity from
U-boat raids which would result Prom a
transatlantic air patrol.

Klamath Falls Is
After State Road

A petition has been circulated in
klamath Falls during the past week
by Capt o. G.. Applegate for the
klamath Commercial Club among
the business districts of that city, in
order to secure a road from the
Rogue River valley and southern
Oregon points east Of the Cascades.
One of the highways designated
last year by the state highway COM
mission when the road bond was be-
ing promoted was road from Ash
land through klamath Falls to Lake
view, and the people in these districts
are anxious to see some direct results
from the increased taxation. A COM
mercial highway between the two
districts would be of inestimable
value to southern Oregon. The
grain, livestock, lumber and fruit
products raised in these districts
could be transported economically
from one to the other, thus benefit
ting all sections. A move is also on
foot in Klamath Falls to send dele
cation to confer with the highway
commissioners some time in the near
future.
