TRIP OF NC-4 WAS
 HARD ONE TO-DAY
Foggy Weather Compelled Aviators to Fly at Low Altitude, Only
 100 Feet Above Surface.

Plymouth, May 31.-The NC-4s trip today was difficult. The plane had to fly low because the weather was foggy virtually all the way. For the most part the plane travelled at a height of only 50 to 100 feet above the sea.
 The entrance of the American flyer into the harbor was impressive. Three British planes which for some time had been tuning up to go to meet the Am merican craft put out to sea when it was learned she was near ing port. The NC-4 and her escort circled the harbor after they had swept in making a notable spectacle in the bright sunshine.
 Lieut.. Commander Read and his crew were immediately taken to the cruiser Rochester for the reception and then were whisked ashore for the public reception.

CHICAGO POLICE
 BEING CRITICIZED
Judge Huston of That City Holds Up New York System As
 Model.

Atlantic City, May 31.-Declaring that he did not think much of the po- lice force of his own city, chicago, Judge John Huston of the juvenile court of that city, praised the system in New York city at the convention of tho National Probation association here today.
 It was inevitable that the police should seek to get major indictments against every offender upon whom they could lay their hands, he said. It was equally natural that they should attribute the wave of motor banditry which has been sweeping over the country to an excess of lenieEcy upon the part of parole and probation off, cers.
 Nothing could possibly be more futiIe,' Dr. H. H. Goddard, Of Ohio, said, than to attempt to reform the feeble minded child. In order to ne reformed a child must be in posses sion of it's health. That should be the basis of all reformation methods An industrial school is 10 place for a ju- venile who is mentally deficient"

DAYLIGHT SAVING
 REPEAL IS HALTED
House Committee to Open Hearings Monday-RuraIites Must
 Show Good Cause.

Washington, May 31.-Friends of the daylight saving law gained a point today when the republican steering committee of the house decided to dis approve the proposal % have the rules committee indorse a provision repeal ing the law, to be attached to the agri- cultural appropriation bill as a rider.
 Following the action of the steering committee, Chairman Esch announced that the interstate commerce commit tee would begin public hearings on the subject Monday. Opportunity will be given to both sides to present their cases at length.
 Congress has been flooded in the last few days with telegrants and let ters protesting repeal. The United States chamber of commerce and oth- CT business organiza tions and many in- dividuals have taken m interest in the fight and the hearings promise to de- velop a marked sentiment among bus mess men and on the part Of labor against action for the present sum- mer at least.
 There is a strong feeling on the part of mem bers of the house from rural districts that their communities want the law repealed, but unless they make out a particularly good case any repeal measure probably will go be- fore the house on it's own merits in- stead of as a rider to an appropriation bill
 If friends of the law find the house in favor of repeal they will make an effort to postpone it's effective dare un- til next year.

London, May 31.-A letter signed by 'Ehrl LOrebun, Baron Buckmaster, Baron Southwark, Earl Beauchamp Baron ParmOor and a number of oth- CT publicists has been sent to Premier Lloyd George and President Wilson urging that German appeals for modi- fcation of the peace terms should be considered impartially and sympa- thetically with a desire to meet them wherever possible.
 We believe" the letter says, that a peace willingly signed by the Ger man government as representative of the German people is one of infinitely greater value than one forced on them by threats of famine, and a far better foundation for the new world order to which we look forward

 The day was national holiday in Holland, it being the religious fes- tival of Ascension day. The fugitive German emperor abstained from his usual occupation of saving logs and attended services in the chapel at the castle, at which the Rev. Brother Weiss a Moravian clergyman of Zeist, preached.
 The village of Amerongen was crowded with excursionists who de- sired to obtain glimpse of the fa- nous refugee, but although he walked in the gardens he was com pletely hidden by the heavy foliage
