EAST AND WEST AIRPLANES MEET
Pliers in Trans Continental Race Land at North Platte, Me- braska-" Flying Parson" is Leading.

Chicago, Oct. 9.-East and West met in the air at North Platte, Ne braska, today for the first time when the leaders of the west bound and eastbound fliers in the trans-conti- mental reliability race landed there. Tonight Lieutenant B. w. Maynard, the flying parson," was at Cheyenne, Wyoming, hundreds of miles ahead of the other west bound aviators and Captain Lowell H. Smith, well in the lead of the continent from the west, was at Omaha for the night.
 Maynard, piloting machine No. 31, who left Chicago at 7:09 a. m., cen tral time, had flown 886 miles today, a greater distance than he covered yesterday, the first day of the race, but his time, chiefly due to adverse weather conditions, which in one way or another extended almost from coast to coast, was slower. He landed at Cheyenne at 6:25 p. m., mountain time, having covered total distance of 1896 miles in two days. Captain Smith, after struggling through three mountain snowstorms today, reached Omaha at 7:20 o'clock tonight, having made 852 miles today without accident. His total distance o,,,oa +ho c+art ,c Ac0
 The remarkable flights of Maynard and Smith for two days have made the trans-continenta race an air journey unparalleled, all things con- sidered, in this country.
 At the close of today's flights, the fliers remaining in the race of the AT starting from Mineola, L. l., and the 15 which left San Francisco, strung across tht country, most of them ac- counted for.
 Two machines from the west, mum Der 50, piloted by Second Lieutenant Hall, and another driven by Lieuten- ant Queens, were missing tonight. At Rawlings, Wyoming, it was feared they were lost in the mountain snow storms.
 The days flights were attended by no fatal accidents. Yesterdays re- cord was marred by three fatalities. The most serious of several accidents, nearly all of them of minor ature, was the spectacular crash of Lieut.. E. V. Wales plane No. 63 from San Francisco, on Elk Mountain, at Obert Pass, Wyoming, in heavy snow storm. Pilot Wales was seriously in | jured and was taken to ranch house. His passenger, Second Lieutenant William Goldsborough, was only slightly hurt.

PLANTING REELS
 OF BARRED WIRE
 AGAINST REVOLT

Berlin, Tuesday, July Tine com munistic leaven has again arrived at the fermenting stage in greater Der lin and there are indications that the strike movement may develop into a political insurrection. The candor and boldness with which the inde-- pendent Socialists and thenr com munist henchmen are playing their cards shows they feel more sure or their footing than during the March revolt
 The street car strike threatens to involve the suburban and belt line railroad workers, if not the big 1n- dustrial plants. The frankness with which Hugo Haase, Herr Hoffmann and other radicals are demanding a. dictatorship by the proletariat Is looked upon as significant.
 In the meantime, Gustav Noske, Minister of Defense, is increasing his troop patrols in the inner city, plant ing reels of barbed wire at strategic points and generally tightening mar tial law regulations.

POWERS DIPPED BY RED
 ARMY OFFICERS

Copenhagen, July 2-Defiance to the Entente powers is expected in proclamation to the Red armN is- sued by the Hungarian Soviet gov ernment, according to a Budapest despatch received here. After re- ferring to the great sacrifice de- manded by the proletarian father land in asking the army to evacuate part "f the territory conquered in glorious battle,' and proceed to another territory occupied by Ru- manian troops, the proclamation continues:
 we are not retiring before the mercenary troops of the Czecho-Slo- yak imperialistS. We have to do with the entire power of the greatest exploiters of the worId-the French, British and American money kings, labor oppressors and peasant plum dererS *". We know a, dic- tated peace is no peace, and we shall not lay down our rifles because we are defending to the last drop of blood the proletarian dictatorship.

NOTHING NEW
 IN PROHIBITION OUTLOOK TODAY

Hartford, July - United States District Attorney John F. Crosby had nothing new on the prohibition situation today. He said at mld- forenoon that he had not been ad- vised of any violations. He had not decided whether or not the test case Git is practically certain that there will be one) would start with a war rant of on' information. AS near as can be learned the goat has not yet been decided upon. Over at least one Hartford bar 2.75 beer was being sold today and the place catered to a steady rush. There were seven eases of drunkenness in police court today but all the offenders declared the liquor consumed by them was purchased before the war time act became operative.
 A well known wholesale liquor firm in this city the name of which has been world wide, announced to- day that it would probably export the large stock which it has on hand.

WILL NOT ADMIT GAY DEATH WAS
 DUE TO ARSENIC

Lawrence, Mass, July 2-Admit- ting there was arsenic in the body of Miss Florence w. Gay. the invalid for whose murder Mrs. Bessie M. (Skeels) Lundgren Is on trial, Daniel I. Daley. counsel for the defense, said in his closing argument today, But we never will admit that death was due to arsenic"
 He said he would rather rely on the first diagnosis of pr. Charles F. Abbott" the Gay family physician, who certified that Miss Gay died of cerebral hemorrhase.
 We do not admit the amount of arsenic reported to have been found in the body" he continued, adding:
 ''1f pr. Abbott saw the symptoms which he now says were of arsenical poisoning and did not administer an antidote. we have the wrong defend ant in the chair. If Dr. George II. Sexsmith saw the same symptoms in the New Jersey case (the death of Albert J. Wilkins, brother of the de- fendant who is charged with his mur- der also) consider again who should be the defendant
 As n motive counsel said, they bring in a bunch of junk (articles which Mrs. Lundgren was charged with stealing from the Gay home) and want you to take a woman's life because Florence F. Luce Ga rela- tive of the Gays) said they were of historic value"

SCOTT CARRIES
 NOTE FROM KING TO PRESIDENT
(Continued from Page One)

Not more than a score of people mo- tored the 21 miles from Edinburgh to the airdrome here to witness the start but among them was one American women who presented a silk American flag to Lieut. Commander Zachary Iansdowns, American flight com mander, just before he stepped into the gondola-
 Aside from these few persons the only spectators were the 300 men and 16O women stationed at the airdrome. They had been called out at two a. m. by the usual Landing party bugle and the drowsiness of many of them indicated that the start of this his toric trip had not kept them awake in the earlier hours of the night. They took their accustomed places at the guy wires and bars at the lower parts of the gondoIas. The great airship then was released, except for her hu- man anchors and to test her lifting powers, loaded as she was with more petrol than ever previously had been in her tanks, the men at the gondo- las were ordered to release their hold.
 The ship quickly rose, and Just as quickly the order was given to pull her down. After this test the men and women holding the guy wires slowly started toward the open ooors of the airdrome. She was lowed 10 a point about 300 yards away from the airdrome, and after being turned around all five of her powerful mo- tors were started hummtng.
 Then the hands off" bugle was sounded, the airship started to rise, her propellers began to spin and al- most before the cheering had ceased the great fiier had disappeared in the mist.

Edward Balgriff, of 363 Pembroke street was bound over to the Superior court under a bond of $500 when ar raigned before Judge Bartlett in City court today on a charge of theft.
 Edward Fagen, of 6S5 Ogden street, a soldier, told the court he had gone 50 sleep in a friends house with Bal griff yesterday afternoon and had awakened to find both Balgrif and his money gone. He located his room mate in a saloon and he said he had spent the money.

NO INCREASE IN POSTAGE RATES
 ON LOCAL MAIL

Many people in Bridgeport are of the opinion that with the resumption of the two-cent stamp for first class mail, the postage rate locally has also undergone a change. Postage rates for local mail had not been in creased during the war, and the two cent stamp will remain as hereto fore. Postmaster Charles F. Greene announced today that a surprising number of inquiries have been made since yesterday regarding the lower rate for mail sent in the city. With the come back of the pre-war post age rate only mail sent out of town bears the change. The greatest change is in the postal card, formerly two cents, now one cent as before the war.
