To Be INVADED
BYSC|E n lists
IN AN AIRPLANE:.
Start viii Be Made From
Seattle in September;
Scientific Observation Is
Object Of Trip,
TO MAINTAIN A SPEED
OF 100 MILES AN HOUR

New York viii Head the
Party Former Service
Men to Accompany Him.

Washington, Aug. 1.--Plans for
a trans-Polar flight in September,
from Point Barrow, Alaska. to
Spitz 1rgen and the North Cape,
Norway, were announced here to-
day by Edwin Fairfax Naulty of
New York. Scientific observation
of the ocean. air and ice currents
will be the chief purpose Of the
trip, he said, with the hope of es-
tablishing the feasibility of the
new route for commerce as a Sec
ondary consideration.
AS announced, the start will he
made from Seattle, with a. convoy
ceed by easy stages up the Alas
kan coast to Point Barrow, stop
ping at Ketchikan, Anchorage ana
Nome. The Arctic flight will b@
made by one plane which has ar
ready been constructed, carrying
four men, Mr.. Naulty. The other
three are former service men and
it was said their names would be
announced soon.
Originally, it was explained, IL
was the intention to make the
flight next year but reports Of
warm weather near the Arctic cir
Gle, had led to the advancing Of
the date.
I'VE plan to make the flight az
early as possible" Mr.. Naulty said.
and, strange as it may seem, to do
it in late September. There are
good reasons for the choice Of this
time. Our flight speed we estimate
will be about 100 miles an hour,
to which might be added the speed
of u following air current"
Fuel was conceded TO be the
chief problem of the proposed ex-
pedition. A supply ample for fifty
hours of continuous flight will be
carried, it was said, and those
planning the attempt expressed
the beliefftlfats this would furnish
an excess which would permit
short by-flights at the first landing
place on the polar ice and at tha
pole itself. If no landing places
are found, 1t is the intention to
make the 1,150 mile hop withous
a stop. "A

COTTON CROP IN
SOUTH DAMAGED
BY BOIL WEEVIL
(By The Associated Press.)

Washington, Aug. 1.-The boil
weevil played havoc with the
south's cotton crop during July,
heavy rainfall aided in the destruc-
tion by promoting rank growth
Of weeds and grass and as a re-
suit of prospective production of
S,203,000 bales was forecast today
by the department of agriculture,
having its estimate on conditions
existing July 25. That is loss of
100000 bales compared with the
production forecast a month ago.
The crop declined AS points
during the month, more than an
average decline, bringing the con-
dition to 64.7 per cent of normal,
the lowest July 25 condition on
record with one exception, that of
1866, when it was GAL.
Unpromising is the present con-
dition of the crop throughout most
of the belt, and there is very seri-
GUS threat, the department experts
say, of continued and increased
damage from the boil weevil, while
grass and weeds are exhausting
much of the crop that remains.

PLAN TIERS AIDED
BY INCREASE IN
COTTON PRICES

New Orleans, La, Aug. 1.-The
cotton new year, with its annual
statistics and rush of excited trad
ing, was marked today by an ad-
vance in price which experts es-
timated would bring southern
planters $41,OOO,OOO more for their
crop.
The days developments put the
price up cent a pound. Interest
was centered mainly in the items
of the carry-over, which was
placed by II. G. Hester, secretary
of the New Orleans cotton ex-
change, at 9,194,0O0 bales, the
largest carry on record. A
year ago the carry-over was
6, 5000 bales.
The commercial crop for the
cotton year Of 1920-21 was count
ed at 11,S77,316 bales against H.
44S,1S0 for the preceding year.
Consumption by the world of
American cotton was put at 10,-
100000 bales against 12,670,O00
last year, the trade here setting
the slump down as being the eff
feet Of general depression in the

Part New England Played.
"No one will ever dispute the
large part New England played in
the rearing of new standards of
freedom. The early struggles here
were contemporaneous with the
making of modern British consti-

may fairly be traced back to the
larger part Of a century from the
date we commonly fixed for it, to
the great town meeting in the Old
South church, to which was sub
mitted the question whether the
colony would assent to the charter
reorganization that the king de-
manded.
Idea of Religious Freedom.
'If the idea of religious freedom

BURNS ATTACKED
BY COUNSEL IN
BASEBALL TRIAL
Lawyers for the Defense
Place the Major Part of
Their Closing Arguments
Before the Jury.
(By The Associated Press.)

Chicago, Aug. 1.-The defense
counsel in the baseball trial today
placed the major part of its closing
arguments before the jury in a
series of pleas brought to a climax
in dramatic address by A. Nor
gan Frumberg, of st. Louis, attor-
ney for Carl Fork, in which he
charged that the state, having let
the instigators of the baseball
scandal go free, was trying 10
make goats of underpaid ball play
ers and per ny ante gamblers.
Mr. Frumberg repeatedly asked
the jury in reaching it's verdict 10
consider why Arnold Rothstein, OF
New York, had never even been
indicted when the states witnesses
in the trial named him as the
financier of the alleged conspiracy
and why j. J. Sullivan, of Boston;
Rachel Brown, of New York; Hal
Chase and Abe AttSll, others who
have been termed leaders in the
case, were never brought to trial.
Previous to Mr.. Frumberg's ad-
dress, Henry Berger had told the
jury that Ban Johnson, American
league president, had furthered this
case in an effort to injure his
enemy, Charles A. Comiskey, owner
of the Chicago American league
club, and presented a series of court
rulings which he held proved there
was no violation of law even If the
players cid throw the 1919 word
series games.
Micbae' Ahern also delved into
the conspiracy laws and Max Luster
emphasized the alibi presented for
his client, David Zercer, of Des
Mo'nes. claiming that this alibi
proved false the testimony of Bill
Burns that Zelcer was Bennett, a
lieutenant of Rothstein.
Burns was attacked by all the
attorneys, Mr.. Berger terming him
and Billy Maharg the states ace
of clubs and ace OF spades.
