In the British Air Service, for 81 is a
ripe old age in the air service, arrived
here to-day on the steamship Digby with

he intends TO fly across the Atlantic.
After carefully supervising the load

been established. Admiral Kerr an
nounced that the flight is planned more
as an expedition to study the charting
OF an ocean air route than as a pioneer
journey across the ocean. Admiral Kerr
Ia chief pilot, and his companions in the
venture are Major T. Gran. an Antarc-

aviator. who made more than seventy
five air raids over German positions.

as Commander Towers would not dis
close his plans in advance Of leaving

navy fears to place full reliance upon

VENTURE REGARDED

Navy Officials in Washington
Are Opti,nistic.

WASHINGTON, May 10.-Arrival Al
Trepassey Bay, N. F., of two OF the three
American navy seaplanes which started
from Rockaway, N. Y. on the trans
atlantic flight. insures the success Of the
whole enterprise in the opinion Of naval
officers here.
While detailed reports from Comman-
der John II. Towers probably will not be
received for day or so, II is believed
he would have communicated promptly
had he encountered any serious difficulty
either with his machines or with the ar
ransements for guiding the flight by
radio compass signals.
The third plane, the NC-4, was still
at Chatham Light. Mass. tonight, re-
fitting to continue the trip TO Trepassey
Bay. Lieut.-Commander Read, In
charge of the plane. may get started
tomorrow, and Il was generally ex-
pected at the Navy Department that the
actual passage across the Atlantic via
the Azores would not be attempted until
the NC-4 also reached the Newfoundland
jumping off place. The decision rests
however, with Commander Towers. and
may be dependent largely on weather
conditions. Arrangements have bcsp
completed by the Navy Department 10

entire course on which Weather Bureau
experts can calculate the proba blities
in advance.

 FRAUD I5 CHlRGE
W. M. Collins, Recent Pur- chaser of $25,O00 Resi- dence Here, Taken By U. $. Officials As One Of Crook Gang

After a transcontinental chase. Will i9m M. Collins was arrested on First avenue, Friday afternoon, by UDiJed states Deputy Marshal Fred Weage and Postoffice Inspector Dutton, charged with fraud by use of the mails. Information reaching the United States attorneys office in this city in dicates that Collins, alias George Arm strong, George W. Maxwell and J. C. Carlton, is wanted in Indianapolis, Inds on the specific fraud charge, and that he is also supposed to be the leader of a clever gang of east terners that has fleeced many eastern and middle western bankers and bank cashiers out of hundreds of thousands of dollars.
 To Marshal Weage, when arrested, Collins is said to have admitted his ac- uuaintance with L. s. Scott, Walter B. Sanderson and Hugh McCann, code fendants with him on the federal charge, and also some of the details of the somewhat sensational story that is reported against him. His principal denial is that he used the mails for the operation, of the widespread scheme.
 Land Deal Is Related
 Collins is definitely charged with having gone to d city in Missouri, the name of which as well as the people concerned. the government is with holding, where he presented himself to the cashier of the leading bank. He is said to have introduced himscelf as the representative of C. H. K Piersou whom he said was president and gen eraI manager of the American Smelt-

COAST LEAGUE OPEV
 WITH ENTHUSIASM

SAN FRANCISCO, Cad, April 26.- The large crowds attending the games of the Pacific Coast league to date in- dicate to officials of the organization that the public welcomes the return of play after a heavy falling off in pat ronage during the war Reports from the cities where the opening games were held show that new attendance records were made at every point. In proportion to it's population the city of Sacramento, Cal, showed the largest outpouring of enthusiasts. The leagues officials are jubilant at the showing being made and are predicting one Of the best seasons. from all points of view, that baseball has experienced on the coast.
 Coast baseball closed last year dur ing July owing to lack of interest and consequent lack of patronage. Many followers of the game are questioning whether or not the public is given too much baseball in normal seasons. Some are inclined to believe that a shorten ing of the season would serve to whet the appetite and give an increased at tendance for briefer period of play.
 While the brand of game served to the public thus far has been far from being perfect, it has been of the vari- ety appealing to the crowds. There has been plenty of batting and many runs made which has furnished a max mum of action.
 The two new acquisitions of the league, Portland and Seattle, made the poorest showing during the first week of play but the consensus of opinion seems to be that both clubs have the makings of good team and that they will be battling for honors with the leaders before long. Seattle was par ticularly unfortunate in the matter of pitchers, practically it's entire staff be- ing out of condition. Some of the critics have classed the Portlanders as a first division team and look for a rapid recovery of it's prestige.
 The return to the double umpiring system has given general satisfaction and it is hoped these officials will be able to have the games played faster as the contestants get settled down to | their work.

ing and Refining company of Durango, Colo. He also is alleged to have said that PiersOn owned several hundred acres of land in southeastern Missouri that Pierson was willing to sell for s an acre. But, Collins is alleged to have explained PiersoD did not know that the land had advanced in value; that il was then worth S37 an acre; and that the cashier could get it at a bargain. He is said to have induced the cashier to go with him to Indianapolis, taking with him $10000 in travellers cheeks. At Indianapolis the story goes, the cashier attempted to borrow money at an Indiana bank, but that the bank warned him against the transaction. The cashier is then said to have sent a friend of his to St. Louis, where $90Qo was secured and brought back to Indianapolis.
 Staged Fake Fight
 A fake fight is said to have been staged for the benefit of Pierson and the cashier, at which the cashier was induced to wager $5,00O on Pierson's valet. one of the boxers. The first s5.0OO, it is said, was slipped back to the cashier by Collins, alleged stake ' whispered to the cashier that he would arrange to get enough of PiersOn' s money to enable the cashier to buy the land without putting up q nickel of his own. After much betting, when the cashier had finally placed the entire $9,000 in Collins hands. the charge continues Persons valet was sud denly knocked down and a cry raised that his neck was broken. In the con fusion and to avoid being arrested the cashier and Collins are said to have made their exit Later, Collins, it is stated, got in touch with the cashier, arranging to meet him at Columbus Ind, where he would return his money
 Bought s25,0oo Home Here
 Collins failed to keep the appoint ment, it is said. and all trace of him was lost until he was arrested here Friday by Deputy Marshal Weage and Inspector Dutton. Collins is said tc have waived preliminary hearing and agreed to return to Indianapolis with out a fight.
 It is believed that Collins has beer in Phoenix about two weeks and that he has just purchased a Phoenix resi- dance and paid S25,000 for it. Other information of a sensat tional character g being withheld by the government officials, it is believed, that will adf several more chapters to the deals 1T which Collins and his confedsrates art bought to be implicated.
