Lieuts. John A. MacReady and Oakley
Kelly, Army aviators. took off at
Rockwell Field at $3.50 am. today
in an attempt to cross the continent
from San Diego to New York without
a stop in the great monoplane T-2.
The plans of the aviators call for
them to fly directly from Rockwell
Field to New York. The plane was
loaded last night with 735 gallons of
gasoline. thirty-five gallons of lubri-
eating oil and twenty-five gallons of
water. 1t was estimated this would
be more than enough fuel for the
voyage. which was expected to be
made in twenty-five to thirty hours.
On October the two aviators took
on here on the same attempt. and when
fog forced postponement Of the trans
continental trip they remained aloft
over San Diego more than thirty five
hours, breaking all endurance records
for flying machine heavier than air.

Since then the two lientenants have
been waiting for favorable weather con-

case to the grand jury depends upon
how long it will take to question all
witnesses in the case except Mrs.
Frances Stevens Hall. who will not
be called upon again by the officials.
Monday is now being spoken of as
the probable day.
The questioning will take place in
the courthouse in New Brunswick, it

by the recent resignation of Vittorio
Rolandi Ricci, to Senator Luigi AL
bertini. italian representative at the
Washington armament conference.
1t was asserted in political quar-
ters today. however. that Senator AL
bertini had declined the proffer, pre-
ferring to remain in Italy and par
ticipate in the political activities at
Rome.
Premier Mussolini has accepted the
resignation of Signor Frassati. the
ambassador to Germany.
Count Sfor.a Summoned.
Count Sforza, the ambassador at
Paris. is expected to arrive in Rome
tomorrow. He was summoned by a
telegram from Premier Mussolini,
who at first told him to remain at his
post, after receiving Count Sforza' 8
explanation that he had resigned
only because he wished to facilitate
the task of the new government and
do his part to give 1t stability and
long life.
Premier Mussolini. accompanied by
Baron Russo, visited today the Vari-
Gus ambassadors now in Rome, and
announced his intention of calling on

German embassies.
Premier Mussolini has ordered en-
ergetic measures taken to speed up
telegraphic and telephone communi-
cation with other countries, particu-
larly press messages, which. he de-

observed on both sides. The ambas-

to make any statement on the sub
ject of his conversation with the
premier, as he considered that it had
a diplomatic character, but If this
had not been the case he would be
delighted to make a full report of
the talk, as he felt sure the Amer

BLAMED FOR LACK
Of SCHOOL FUNDS
House Subcommittee on Ap.
preparations Censured by
DR.. BaIIou.

Blame for the inadequate appropria-
tions for the public schools, which
have resulted in the deplorable educa-
tional conditions in the District. is
placed by Supt. Frank w. Ballou
largely on the subcommittee on ap-
propriations of the House. The five
members of Congress who constitute
this committee. according to the
superintendent, virtually control the
school funds, as their final judgment
on all school items in the appropria-
tion bills usually prevails.
"In the process of making appro-
priations for the school SYSTEM" said
DR.. Ballou, the subcommittee of the
appropriations committee of the
House of Representatives undoubted-
ly exercises the largest and most final
authority. When the estimates Of the
board Of education that reach Con-
gress have been approved by the Com
missioners and the bureau of the
budget the subcommittee on appropri-
ations examines carefully every item
and its final judgment as a rule pre-
walls"
II. Z. Syotem Unique.
DR.. Ballou also criticized the pres
ent method of securing school appro-
priations. emphasizing that "in no
other American city is there to be
found such a system"
! ITO understand thoroughly the full
significance of the methods OF max
ing appropriations for the school sys-
tenn of Washington" continued the
superintendent, "one must take into
consideration not only the agencies
which participate in the determine
ton of the school estimates, but also
certain conditions which are attend
ant upon their work. Some of these
conditions are. briefly:
1.-The law requires that the school
estimates shall first be made public
when transmitted to Congress by the
President. In the preparation Of the
estimates. therefore. neither the board
Of education, nor the Commissioners.
nor the bureau Of the budget may
make public any information con-
tanned in those estimates.
