HAWKER AND GRIEVE
SAVED FROM THE SEA
Were 100 Miles Out from NewfOund-
land When Their Land Plane had
to Come Down ON the Water

London; May 25.-Harry Hawker
and Commander Grieve, the trans
Atlantic fliers. were found in good
health.
SAVED BY A DANISH STEAMER
London. May 25.-Missing for six
days and virtually given up for lost,
Harry G. Hawker and his navigator,
Lieut. Commander Mackenzie Grieve,
British airmen who essayed a flight
across the Atlantic ocean without
protection against disaster save what
their frail airplane afforded, are safe
tonight aboard a British warship of
the Otkneys. Tomorrow they will
reach the mainland and. proceed to
London, where they viii be acclaimed
as men returned to life
Some 100 miles out from New
foundland and 500 from the Irish
coast on Monday, May 10, the avia-
tors making the best of an engine
which was failing to function prop
erIy, were forced to alight on the
water The little Danish steamer
Mary, bound from New Orleans and
Norfolk for Aarthuus, Denmark,
picked the wayfarers up and con-
tinued on her northward voyage.
Lacking a wireless outfit, the cap
tain of the steamer was obliged to
withhold the good tidings of the res
cue until he was opposite Butt or
Lewis, where the information was
signalled by means of flags that Haw-
ker and Grieve were aboard his ship.
Immediately word was flashed to
the British admiralty. which sent out
destroyers to overtake the Danish
vessel and obtain confirmation. This
was done and one of the destroyers
took the airmen off and later trans
ferred them to the flagship Revenge.
From this safe haven Hawker sent
a message tonight that his machine
had stopped owing to the blocking Of
the water circulation system.
When the airplane sped away from
her starting point Pilot Hawker ler
loose his wheels and undergearing,
thereby Tightening the weight of the
machine by a considerable amounr
but making a possible landing on the
soil of Ireland a more hazardous ven
ture. This, however, probably prov
ed of much advantage when it be-
came necessary to alight on the sur
face of the water. The airplane re-
manned afioat without difficulty dur
ing the hour and a half it took the
Danish steamer TO come up and effect
rescue.

The graduating exercises of the
eighth grade which were held at the
Temple theater this morning, were at
tended by q full house. The parents,
relatives and friends of the children
gathered early and the house was
comfortably filled at the hour for
opening the exercises.
Mr.. Cassels made a brief talk,
pointing out that the eighth grade
graduation exercises were of special
interest this year as in a few weeks
a. least the bill now pending in the
legislature would probably be passed,
providing for compulsory education
and graduation from grammar school
The play that was given by the
boys and girls of this department
was admirably gotten up and well
presented, showers the untiring work,
effort and patience of both teachers
and pupils for its production. The
stage was attractively decorated with
flowers and woodland scenes and the
bright hued streamers of the May
pole added a charming note Of color
to the green of the woodland glade.
The crowning Of the May queen was
one of the special features of ths
play. The dances of the fairies and
elves, the folk dances, Danish and
Swedish, were gracefully interpreted
and executed by the children taking
part. Doing homage to the queen
we're spring, autumn, fourth Of July
and many others to numerous to men
ton, each in their distinctive ana
characteristic costumes making a
bright and ever changing scene.
The special numbers and recita-
tions by Thelma Smedley, Harrington
Hall and companion reading by Mat
tie Belle Cameron and Nell Wallis
were well rendered and attracted
special recognition by good applause.
The diplomas were presented by
Mr.. j. H. Brinson in the unavoidable
absence Of Dir. Duval on legal busi-
ness.
The whole affair was thoroughly
enjoyed by the audience and each and
every one taking part deserves q
great deal of praise for the excellent
manner in which it was carried out.

PLANT At REDD|CE
INCREASES OUTPUT
Southern Peanut Products Company
Shipping Butter ThruOut Florida
and Into Other States

Another Marion county industry
that is making strides is the South
ern Peanut Products Company of
Reddick. This business is now own
ed by one man, Mr.. c. NJ. earn Of
Reddick. Mr.. earn began operating
the plant about six months ago. He
began in a small way, but from the
first his peanut butter found favor
and the output has INCREASED steadily.
The butter is now being shipped
throughout Florida, and to Georgia,
Alabama and South Carolina
When Mr.. earn began operating
the plant six months ago the output
for the first month was about 400
pounds of butter The output of the
plant now averages around 5000
pounds a month. And there are some
by-products.
The peanut is grown with great
success in Marion county, is a peanut
rich in food value and of fine flavor.

colleges and other buildings worth
thousands of dollars and their splen-
dor dazzling to strangers; no school
teacher paid less than $1,000 a year,
and everything, visible and invisible,
in Florida, made to be the admiration
and wonder of the thousands who will
visit the state every winter, but
The people haven't the money to
pay for these things!
If, however, the legislature per
sists in the colossal folly of imposing
upon the people a tax burden greater
than their ability to bear, as it seems
that it intends to do, then the people
in every county should organize and
positively refuse to pay any taxes at
ali. That would bring matters to a
speedy conclusion; for, when there
is no money to pay the high-salaried
officials, maybe some of them will re-
sign and go to work.
There is another remedy: Petition
Congress to place Florida in charge
of the treasury department of the
United States to be managed just as
the treasury officials are managing
Hayti and Santo Domingo. Kick out
the legislature and the state officials
and put the state in charge of Carter
Glass!
If, however, the immense expendi-
lures proposed are absolutely neces.
sary and unavoidable and must be
made during the ensuing two years
why not bond the state and give the
people thirty years time in which tC
put up the money? Would that no
be better than taxing them to deatl
to raise the money in two years? The
legislature can provide for a specia
election to be held this fall to decide
on this bond proposition.

ONLY A SLIGHT CONCESSION
FROM THE ALLIES

Paris, May 25.-With the exception
of one minor concession, all sugges-
tions and counter proposals by Ger
many for the disposition of the Sarre
basin have been rejected by the reply
of the allied and associated powers.
Count Won Brockdorff -Rantzau's ap-
peal for an oral discussion of the
points at issue on this subject was
ignored.
The concession agreed to is that
Germany might create prior charge
upon her assets or revenues for the
payment of the mines in the Sarre
region if the plebiscite goes against
France If, however, the sum agreed
upon is not paid within year from
the date it is due, the reparation COM
mission shall effect payment under
instructions from the league of ma
tions.
This alteration was made in view of
Germany's declaration that it was
impossible for her to accumulate a
sufficient sum of gold with which to
pay for the mines in the fifteen years
before the plebiscite is taken, since
other reparation would constitute a
constant drain.

peace and by the expiration of an

3 DIE, Z INJURED IN BIG MOTOR RACE
But Howard Wilcox Drove 800 Miles in Great Time and WOn-Two Burned to Death Under an
 Overturned Car.

Indianapolis, Ind, June 1.-Howard Wilcox of Indianapolis, yesterday won the seventh annual international sweepstakes race of 500 miles at the motor speedway, his time for tine dis tance being 5:44:21A. Two drivers, Arthur Thurman and Louis Lecoq, and mechanician, R. Bandini, were killed during the contest, and two oth- CTS were injured.
 As result of his victory, Wilcox wins a prize of $20,000. Fifty thous- and dollars was divided among the first ten drivers. The other prize win ners finished in the order named: Hearne, Goux, Guyot, Alley, DePalma, L. Chevrolet, Vail, c. Chevrolet and Thomas.
 Wilcox and Guyot were teammates. Wilcox assumed the lead as the con- test approached the halfway mark, and drove consistently turnout. He had two stops. once for tire change and on the other occasion to take on gasoline, oil and water and to repair a loose steering knuckle. His average was SIP miles an hour.
 All records for the Indianapolis speedway were shattered by Ralph DePalma for the first 200 miles. Long stays in the pits, however, put the Italian driver almost entirely out of the running and it only was by ter rife speed that he managed to finish sixth. He barely nosed out L. Chev- rolet.
 Arthur Thurman, driving a car he had reassembled himself, was killed when his machine turned over on the back stretch before the race had progressed 250 miles. He was dead when found. His mechanician re- ceived fractured skull and was rushed to hospital where he was operated on immediately.
 Louis Lecoq and his assistant, R. Bandini, were burned to death when their car turned over and caught fire. The accident happened on the treach- erous north turn and the machine rolled over three times before it stopped, pinning both driver and mechanician under it.
 The crowd was estimated at 125, ,000.

FIRST OVER-OCEAN
 FLIGHT IS HISTORY
NC-4 With Daring Commander and Crew Lands Safely at Plymouth, England-Next Attempt Will Be
 a Direct No-Stop Voyage.

Plymouth, Eng, June 1.-Seaplane Nc-4, the pride of all Americans, crossed Plymouth sound yesterday afternoon. circled the place where the
 Pilgrim Fathers sailed in their cockle-shell ship for the New World in 1920, and alighted in the Gale water, where the epoch-making trans Atlantic flight ended.
 As she came into view thru the western haze, easily recognizable among the escorting British flyers by her great bulk, England gave her the splendid welcome she deserved.
 Leaving Ferrol. Spain, where Lieut. Commander Albert c. Read, had elect ed to spend Friday night, at 6:27 o'clock this morning, the NC-4 cov- cred the distance of approximately five hundred miles to Plymouth in less than seven hours.
 Wind and Weather Adverse.
 Despite adverse wind and weather conditions the NC-4 covered the last leg without hitch to mar the ex- ploit. Safe and sound, but thoroly fatigued by the physical ordeal of the trip as well as the mental strain, Com mander Read and his crew slept peacefully last night
 The rousing welcome of Plymouth residents to the American airmen and the cordial reception given to them Plunkett, the mayor of Plymouth, British and American officials and the crews of the other NC planes, reached a climax with the first actual land ing of the victorious crew at the spot from which the Pilgrim Fathers set forth for America.
 Great Interest in England.
 There was wonderful interest in yesterdays flight, altho it was eclipsed by the previous flight of this seapIane, for in the opinion of Ameri- can naval officers and the British pub lie generally the NC-4 reached the peak of her advanture when she cpdliflcu tue AlidHtlC Ut LlSDoH. | nc last stage of the journey was regard ed by airmen chiefly as "side show" to attest the firm friendship which the war has cemented between this coun- try and the United States. The pride felt by Americans in the extraordin- ary feat of the NC-4 finds echo in the genuine admiration expressed by British naval men and airmen for the crews skill and pluck and the we'll worked out plans of the American navy to facilitate and safeguard the flight.
 Early in the morning when word was flashed that the NC-4 had start cd on the final leg of her journey a heavy rain was falling, but shortly after noon the skies cleared and ideal conditions prevailed.
 The NC-4 flew in rain and fog thru the Bay of Biscay and fog also was encountered off Brest. compelling the 1yIanp to keen at n low altitude
