 The seaplane will start for Ply mouth tomorrow, if the weather continues favorable
 The flight of Commander Read, from the American to the European continent, with only one stop en- route, is regarded here as the most remarkable achievement of modern times. It demonstrates the immense possibilities of aerial navigation between the two hemispheres and pioneers the way for regular air transportation across the Atlantic.

TAX ON tUXUR|ES
 MAY BE REPEALED

WASHINGTON, D. C., May 28.- It seems probable that the recom- mendation of President Wilson that the tax on semi-luxuries be repealed, will receive favorable consideration by Congress. The question was taken up by the house ways and means committee immediately afte- the convening of Congress and ye=- terday the committee ordered a fav- orable report on the question.
 The repeal of this tax, it is be- lieved. will stimulate the manufac- ture and sale in this country of articles of a semi-luxury character. thereby reviving a branch of Ameri- can business which has suffered greatly in consequence of the heavy war tax imposed.

DISCUSSION OVER MOUNTAIN NAME
 IS OPENED AGAIN

SEATTLE.-Puget Sounds old discussion as to whether The Mountain" should be called Mount Rainier or Mount Tacoma has been reopened by newspaper suggestions that both sides of the argument drop their claims and compromise upon Mount Roosevelt.
 Tacoma long has held that the big peaks name is Mount Tacoma; Seattle, on the other hand, has called it Mount Rainier and as one argument in its favor, has pointed to government maps bearing the name Rainier.
 A Portland newspaper, in what it termed "a helpful and charitable spirit" recently suggested that the name be changed to Mount Roose- welt. One Seattle paper seconded the idea, and another suggested that the scheme be carried farther by naming Puget Sound Oyster Bay and ''The Mountain" Sagamore Hill.
 Tacoma, speaking editorially, re- fuses to accept any of the sug- gestions, stating that Theodore Roosevelt, himself, supported Ia coma's claim to the name.
 By the way, how do you % about it to change the name of a mountain, one editorial asked. The question has not been answered.
