day to an Interpolation by Repre-
sentative Kotaro MochiZuki of the
Kenssi Kai. or opposition party, re-
gard;ng the recent killing of Lieut..
Warren II. Langdon in Viadivostok.
said the incident was regrettabie In
view of the fact that it occurred be-
cen American and Japanese ma
tioralS at a time when the two peo-
pies were Gevotedly endeavoring to
establish closer mutual understand
ing.
The matter still is being investi-
gated by a Japanese court-martlal.
which is acting in sincerity and good
faith, the war minister added.
Questions to BE Decided.
Minister Tanaka said the question to
be decided was who was the first to
shoot. but Judging from the results
of the investigation as far as it had
gone. it appeared probable the
Japanese sentry took the Initiative.
If this was SO. the war minister con-
tinued. the only factor remaining to
be decided was whether the sentry
was subjected to such serious men
ace as to justify his action.
The unusual hour at which the
American officer appeared on the
street, armed with a pocket lamp
might have multiplied the possible
ties of a misunderstanding, Minister
Tanaka declared. and it was to throw
light on these important get ambiSu-
Gus circumstances that the investiga-
ton was being continued.
Defends Sentry Right.
Japan was justified in posting SEN
tries in Nladivostok for policing pur-
poses, because she was intrusted with
this important mission by the consul
lar body" the war minister asserted.
| For faithfully d;scharging the mis-
sion the Japanese troops made no
small sacrifice. The difficulty under
considera ton has not yet been made
an international question The
American local authorities place con-
fidence in the fairness with which
Japan is conducting the investigation
and will await the result patiently
The result of the court-martial Of
the sentry who killed Lieut.. Langdon
will be made public by the diet as
soon as it is received.

TRIP WITH
one STOP
IS PLAN
Lieut.. W. D. COney, of the
91St Aero Squadron, Takes
the Air In His Rebuilt De
HaviIand Plane.
q POUNDS CHOCOLATES
TAKEN ALONG AS FOOD
He Also Carries Two Bottles
of Hot Coffee to Keep Him
From Feeling DroWSy In
His Night Flying.

San Diego, Cal, Feb. 21.
Lieutenant William D.
Coney, of the 91st aero
squadron, left at 7 o'clock
tonight from North Island
aviation station in his spe-
cially reconstructed de Hav-
iland airplane in an attempt
to fly to the Atlantic coast
within "a hours. The only
scheduled stop in his 2,070
mile flight it at Dallas,
Texas.
The officers and men at
North Island gave Lieuten-
! ant Coney a mighty cheer
as the big machine started.
He answered with a wave
of his hand.
The aviator took a package Of
official mail from the commandant
of the naval air station to the COM
mander of the naval air station at
Pensacola, Fla.
He also carried letters from of.
ficers and men at North Island to
acquaintances at Jacksonville.
Lieutenant Coney carried as food
four pounds of chocolate and two
bottles of hot coffee, experienced
aviators having urged him to take
the hot liquid not only for It's food
value but as a stimulant to help
keep him from feeling drowsy in
his night flying,
1t was expected that the aviator
would rise to an altitude of more
than 1000 feet in the first stage OF
his flight. that over the mountains
In this country. He had a 35-mile
wind at his back to help him make
good time at the start.
Coney told his friends that his
mother and a brother were await
ing him at a hotel in Jacksonville
Surgeons Examine Aviator.
Shortly before the time set for
his departure, Lieutenant Coney
discovered that the lights on the
instrument board Of his plane were
out of order. Repairs consumed
some time and further delay de-
yeloped while he awaited some
weather reports, 80 it was more
than an hour and half after his
scheduled leaving time before he
departed. He had planned to start
at $50 p. m.
Surgeons examined the aviator
before the start and pronounced
him physically fit for his trylng
attempt in every way.
Military and naval fliers have
expressed belief that Coney will
be successful in his attempt if he
doesn't encounter serious engine
trouble.
No word from Lieutenant Coney
was expected here until he reached
Dallas. 1t was predicted that he
would fly so high over Arizona
points that the hum of his ma
chimes propeller would not be
heard below.
1t was expected that he
would be over Roswell, N. NJ.
at about 3 a. M, tomorrow
and would he over Fort Worth
about three hours later.

RURAL DISTRICTS OF BERNALILL0
COUNTY CAN'T SUPPORT SCHOOLS;
MAY Be CLOSED, SAYS MISS BURKE

The mountain district of Chilli
has 161 children of school age,
three teachers and an estimated
there would be, if each district
must support itself, $421 with a
possibility of 1901 from the state
current fund. making total or
$1,222. This would not employ one
teacher and pay for general ex-
penses of the school for the 16l
children.
"Sedillo has one teacher, thirty
five children and thirteen in night
school, pays $120 in school taxes.
The estimate for Sedillo was sl,S23.
La MADEIRA has thirty-seven child
rem of school age, pays $50 IN
school taxes with an estimated
cost for the year of $1,670.
Every district in the county pays
2-mill tax toward the support of
the high school in Albuquerque
and comparatively few children in
the mountain districts are\able to
attend. The city pays its share or
the wild animal bounty tax and for
the maintainance of county roads.
The city of Albuquerque has TEac-
tically the entire wholesale or re-
tail trade of the county. Cattle-
men, sheep men and farmers keep
their money in Albuquerque banks.
If there are citizens of Albuquer-
que who care nothing for the fu-
ture of the rural children there is
argument in these facts why the
city should contribute to the Sup~
port Of the county schools"
