NC-4 READY TO

OF OCEAN TRIP
Congratulations and HOnOrs
Are Heaped Upon Crew
At Lisbon.
BY United Press /:

BY United Press
LISBON, May 2S.-The Americans
who flew across the Atlantic were
ready today for the hop of more
than 700 miles from Lisbon to Ply
mouth. England This jump will
complete their historic air voyage
which started from Rockaway
Beach, n. Y.
The y. CT reached Lisbon short
ly after o'clock yesterday after
noon, New York time. II settled on
the water beside the American war
ship Rochester. The event. marking
an epoch in the annals OF aviation,
was hailed by bedlam of whistles
and bells from the city and the ships
in the stream. Throngs of people
were massed on housetops and in
the streets TO hail the American
cOnquerors of the air as they ap-
peared i'm the sky. Guns were fired
TO add 10 the din.
Small boats darted out from the
shore, filled with excited Portugu-
ese and clustered around the y. c.
as it rested in the water after its
500 mile jaunt.
The flight from the Azores was
smooth and uneventful, according
to members of the crew. Soon af-
ter their arrival Read and his men
received formal congratulations
from the Portuguese officials Wire
less congratulations also were re-
ceived from Admiral Jackson and
Capt. Workman at the Azores and
from many other officials in the
United States and elsewhere.
\ cele bration in honor of the in
trepid Americans began last night.
Replying to the congratulations of
the foreign minister, the American
minister declared his belief the
flight would improve relations be
tween Portugal and the United
states. He thanked the aviators
who won for the United States the
honor or having its flag carried first
across the sea through the air.
The Portuguese government
awarded TO Read and to Commander
Towers and Lieut.. Commander Bel
linger of the y. C.-3 and y C.-1,
respectively the order of Command
er of Torrespada and each member
of their crews was made a chevalier
of the same order. Admiral PUNK
EFT and other navy officials were
decorated with the Order of Aviz.
Last night there was a brilliant re-
ception aboard the Rochester.
Today was a holiday in honor of
the Americans.
Read was very modest about his
achievement.
The engines functioned perfectly
all the way from America TO Por-
/ tugal" he said.

WANT COURTS To
CHANGE SUBWAY
BUILDING ORDER
More Delay Seen AS Railway
Files Petition in st. Jo-
Seph Circuit Court.

Two years more delay in the COM
pletion of the Lincoln highway sub
way at New Carlisle seemed inevita-
bic when attorneys for the New York
Central Railway CO. filed a peIi-
tiOn in the circuit court Wednesday
morning. asking that the order of
the public service commission be
modified. The railway asks that the
subway be built according to the
plan drawn by their engineers,
which provides for an IS" turn in
the road, shortening the bridge con-
strucuon by some 200 feet. and thus
saving about $15O,OOO in the build
ing cost.
A previous suit. growing out OF d
decision of the public service com
mission, filed i'm 1916 by the Chicago,
Lake Shore and Southern Michigan
Railway CO. consumed two years in
the present suit will probably fol-
low similar lines
Commission Ordered Construction.
Following a hearing held at New
Carlisle last month in which the
relative advantages and expense of
the various subways suggested were
fully taken up. the state commission
ordered the construction of the sub
way as asked by the county, one
which would necessitate no turns
in the road. That railroad attorneys
were even then planning TO delay
matters was told in the report of the
hearing which was carried in The
News-Times the following morning.
The original order of the public
service commission. providing for the
construction Of the subway. was en-
tered July Is. 1916. Following the
litigation, which resulted in the up
holding Of the decision of the COM
mission, the matter was set for re-
hearing.
