 Kloor. who walked ahead of the others. came upon the Indian and called to the others Kloor first offered Marks a cigarette to prove his friendliness, and then, at the suggestion of Farrell gave him dollar. The three officers carried only $120 among them
 SOUGHT TO MAKE RECORD descent would have been made sooner Farrel asserted but I<loor who was in command, was eager to make a record flight. They carried no charts with the exception of Quebec railroad map.
 Near Wells. N Y. the balloon caught in tree and while trying to disentangl, it. they talked to man who gave them their bearings. Then they managed to break loose and resume their trip. They had an opportunity to descend near Ot- tawa about Ii o'clock that night, Far rel said, but did not know their exact location and after a consultation decided to stick it out" until morning After that they were caught in a storm They were made miserable by an alter rate snow and rain and the wind. blow ing north by west was heavy At day. break the storm had not abated. They were in a dense fog and were above the clouds
 The rain ceased at 9 o'clock. but the food had all been consumed The clouds cleared for a bit and they say nothing but forest below them.
 They were carried down to the tree tops on numerous occasions and each time threw out their sand ballast. Twenty one 3O-pound bags were taken at the start When this was gone they cut sec tions from the drag rope which was wet and heavy.
 They were continually fighting to stay up and reached an altitude of $500 feet at one time during the morning. At about :3G D. m.. they heard dog bark and decided to land. They landed with some difficulty.
 They wore their flying suits. The temperature was a little below freezing and they were fairly comfortable. Yak ing the three pigeons tney started.

I Iu this manner they went along til dusk, having made. they thought, abou I four miles. They started a fire and de cided to camp for the night. Farrell ant
 Kloor smoked. They did' not eat. 1 The next morning Hinton set out fl search for water. He came back after a while. without any.

 While summing up the case for the state, Attorney Denson, special pros ecuting officer. said to the jury If you want to do Young & Vann a favor; it there are any friends of Young & Vann on this jury, you will be doing them a favor by turning this black rascal loose" It was contended that the at torney was employed in a. S100,000 suit against the company owning the truck, resulting from the same accident The court of appeals said the attorney inn mediately apologized to the jury for the statement and admitted it to be inn proper, but the trial court did not tell the jury the remarks should not be considered, this commission being re- versible error,
 OTHER ERRORS
 Other errors pointed out m support of the reversal was that an ordinance of the city relating to street crossings was not properly given to the jury, and that after the negrc's attorneys had filed their written charges, the trial judge sub mitted them with interpretations which changed their meaning.
 A city acts within it's power when it sends persons afflicted with social d- sease to detention camps even though there be criminal charges against them. This decision of the court of appeals today removed all doubt of the authority O. municipalities in handling social prob lems within their boundaries. The de- cison came in a case from Birmingham in which woman sought her release from the detention home.
 Gladys Harden was arrested, charged with a misdemeanor. She made bond but Dr. J, D. Bowling, city and county health officer. then ordered her sent to the detention home She applied for a writ of habeas corpus, contending that she had made bond to assure appearance in answer to any charge against her and that she could be longer confined The Jefferson circuit court granted the writ but the city of Birmingham through Dr. Bowling, appealed to the court of appeals, which held that the detention of the woman as a precaution- ary measure for the protection of othe. people was well within the city's juris- dictioh.

MAYOR THOMPSON CALLS

Mayor William Hale Thompson of Chi
 cago, who has been quoted as vigorously
 opposing the suggested appointment of
 Charles G. Dawes of that city as Secre- tary of the Treasury, was one of those who talked cabinet with MT. Harding during the day. Afterwards MT. Tho.np son would mention no names and said the cabinet talk had been more or less
 general.
 The Chicago mayor declared he hau come to Marion primarily to tender what aid he could to the President-elect. He
 said there had been only passing mention of the Illinois political situation in which he has been a storm center, and that he had assured MT. Harding that , local factional differences would not be permitted to affect the loyalty of Illinois republicans to the administration. Appointment of a Secretary of Agricul- 1 ture was discussed by the President-elect with Charles Barrett of Georgia, presi-
 dent of the Farmers union, and said to
 be supporter of Henry Wallace of Iowa for the place. Mir. Barrett also gave ad- vice regarding an agricultural policy ASSOCIATION UP AGAIN With Dr. Jacob Gould Schurmann, for mer president of Cornell university, MT. Harding talked over at length his plan for an association of nations. Conf1- dence that it would prove of practicaf value was expressed by pr. Scnurmanh' who said he believed no one had so cor | rectly interpreted the aspirations of the American people as had the f'resident- elect.
 1 Another caller today was R. B. Creager of Brownsville, Tex, who Is close per sonal friend of Mir. Harding, and who has been mentioned often as possible ambassador to Mexico under the coming administration. MT. Creager brought from l the border an encouraging picture or Mexican affairs, declaring President Ob- regon seemed in a fair way to establish stability throughout the southern portion | of the republic
