time, on the last leg of the trans-ocean-
ic portion of the voyage from Rock
away Beach, Long Island, to Plymouth
England, the NC-4 covered the 800
miles in 9 hours and 43 minutes, main
tanning an average speed OF better
than 80 knots an hour. The total
elaps 1 flying time from New Found
land to Lisbon was 26 hours and Al

At the first opportunity the big
plane will continue to Plymouth, IT'S
nautical miles to the north. To the
navy department, however, it makes
little difference when he completes
the journey. The great object OF all
the effort lavished on the undertak-
ing. navigation of a seaplane across
the Atlantic through the air, has
been accomplished. Twentieth CEN
tury transportation has reached a
new pinnacle and the United States
navy has led the way.
Navy officials emphasized that the
long delay at the Azores was due to
the weather and to no weakness OF
the machine or its daring crew.

Nearly dozen bills to despoil the

within aayear that the estimated ton

10000, 900, 900 tons. This report esti-
mates the value of phosphate in it's

Information received during the

Practically the entire state of Mon.

days of invalidism so patiently borne.
The funeral was held at the family
residence Friday afternoon at $3.50

TWO BANKS VICTIMS OF
A SHREWD NEGRO FORGER
Signed Names of PARROT Citizens to
Letters of Recommendation.

Letters of Recommendations.
Another negro forger has come to
grief. Daniel Hook is his name, and
he was arrested Thursday and plac-
ed in jail to await trial in the supe-
rior court.
Hooks plan of operation was some
what different from that of crooks
of his kind. He wrote letters of rec
ommendation to the Bank of Parrot
and the Dawson National Bank and
signed the name of Mr.. Deal Morgan,
of PARROT, the letters speaking in the
highest terms of the reliability of
Hook and stating that if they would
loan the negro money Mr.. Morgan
would call when in town and endorse
the notes. The failure of Mr.. Nor
gan to call and endorse the notes lead
to the discovery of the forgeries.
Hook secured $3.50 from the Bank
of PARROT and $50 from the Dawson
National Bank.

surance has been given by authori-

be begun without delay.

old story-nothing doing.
