The fact that there is a coal short
age was brought home to Morris
when several of the passenger trains
were taken off on Dec. at II a. m.

nothing but a freight connecting the
two points. Number 3 which ar

thing of the past. Thirteen and

Walter Tripp Post Defeats Co. K

The basket ball team of Walter
Trip Post defeated the team of Com
pany K in the game played in the
high school gymnasium on Friday
night, with score of 20 to II.
1t was the first game for both
teams, and was a hard-fought strug-
gle, with good team work on both
sides. Company K gave the Legion
team rather an amusing boost in the
first part of the second half, when
one of their members made a basket
for the opposing team, having for
gotten that the teams had changed

ATLANTIC TRIP
American Naval SeapIane NC4
Makes Last Leg of First
Overseas Flight.
COVERS 1900 MILES
Actual Flying Speed on Journey From
New York to Plymouth Averaged
Between Seventy and Eighty
Miles Per Hour.

Washington, June 1.-American fly
ers completed their journey from New
York to England by air.
The great feat was accomplished by
the NC4, which arrived at Plymouth,
marking the climax of the navy's
systematic experiment to determine
the obstacles of transatlantic flying.
Admiral Knapp at London cabled
the navy department in a MESSAGE:
INCA arrived Plymouth.-Knapp."
Nearly 1000 miles were covered by
the naval aviators, their actual flying
speed averaging between 70 and so
miles a n hour.
Great Crowd Greets Nc4.
Plymouth, England, June 2.-Com-
pleting it's great flight over the Allan
tic, the American seaplane INCA swept
into the harbor of Plymouth. An
eager watch for the triumphant Yam
kee seaplane was maintained here,
and crowds rushed to vantage points
when word came that it had been
sighted. The ship was given a rous-
Ing welcome.
The NC4 Jumped off" from Ferrol,
on the northern coast of Spain.
The getaway occurred at 1927 a. m,
Minneapolis time, according to a mes
sage from Lieutenant Commander
Read, relayed to the navy department
here. The distance from Ferrol to
Plymouth was about $50 miles.
Welcomed by Crews of "Nancies."
The crews of the seaplanes NC1 and
NC3 were waiting to greet their com
rades of the INCA. Smiling and smart,
they arrived aboard the U. S. S. Roch-
ester looking like men returning from
a pleasure jaunt instead of sailors of
the air who had experienced narrow
escapes from death in trying to fly
across the Atlantic.
Lieutenant Commander M. A. Nit
cher of Oklahoma City, Pilot of the
NC1, declared the transatlantic flying
problem was not n of the motor
power, but of navigation owing to IN
certain weather conditions. He saH

dispute about the, fact that until! re-

Prohibition act may be based or IN

passed by Congress and approved by
the President. The constitutional
amendment may violate a funda-
mental American principle. and may
have been secured by skillful and
organized pressure upon weak poll
ticians and Legislatures; but, at any
rate, it is law until repealed or de-

HOT FOURTH OF>JULY

1t was generally conceded that
yesterday, July 4, was the hottest
independence Day within the recol-
lection of most people now living.
The mercury began to soar early in
the day, and at 4:30 in the afternoon
it stood at 102 degrees in the shade
in this city.
The high temperature deferred
many persons who had planned pic
MICS and excursions from carrying
out their programs, and they re-
manned at home. az the heat wave
was dangerous. fSome. however,
carried out their plans, many patro-
nizing public excursions and others
hieing themselves to rural retreats
where they passed the day in the
shade. As is usual on the Fourth
of July, numbers went to secluded
spots on the river and neag springs,
where they lolled away the day.
Early in the night hundreds OF
-Alexardrians mingled with the
crowds on the grounds surrounding
the washington Monument in Wash
ington, where a display of fireworks
took place. 1t was nearing mid
night when the visitors returned to
their hcmeS.
As was anticipated, yesterday
was the occasion for a celebration
Of the birth Of Liberty in other
countries also. London was the
scene eff happy gatherings, as was
also Paris. American flags were in
profusion in both cities.
