for they shot almost straight up inti the clouds and disappeared. It was with feeling of awe that the 20,000 persons who, barred from the park for fear of accidents, gathered on house tops and streets, saw the bags suddenly become invisible. These were the army bags piloted by Major Oscar Westover of Washington and Lieutenant James T. Nicely of Ross field: the helium filled naval bag commanded by Lieutenant Commander J. P. Norfleet of Lake Hurst, N. J., and the civilian entries of Ralph Up- son of Detroit and Bernard von Hof- man Of St. Louis.
 The other flyers were visible for sometime as they went southwesterly, most of them maintaining an altitude of about 1,50o feet. Reports brought back to Milwaukee by airplanes which accompanied them on the first stages of the flight, said that some of these bags seemed to be switching home into almost due southeriy path.
 Squalls which blew up at the start of the race made the getaway ex- tremeiy difficult. Indications were that most of the bags would be in clear territory before morning. Com mander Norfleet, in the hellum filled naval bag, said just before he shot into the air that he did not expect to come down for ten days. His balloon carried almost twice as much ballast as any other bag, besides being loaded with many instruments It rose rather slowly. but release of few sand bags sent 1t into the clouds. He also carried shot gun and shells. explaining that he and his aide. Chief Rigger J. F. Shade of Lake Hurst. N. J.. expected to go as far that they would have to hunt for their gustenance.

 Stanley on Tariff
 Senator Stanley, declaring that he would not give q red cent of pro- tection to Alabama graphite, nt- tempted to show why the republicans who would protect everything else, would refuse to protect graphite.
 It is sold," he said, Ito the great est trust in the world. the owners of crucibles, who make fine cru cible steel, who know the buncombo and absurdity, who know the naked, silly falsity of the charge that a man makes more from his business; who knows what you pay for labor, for material, and who tells the repub- llcans that there must not be duty on graphite. The same powers, the same trusts, the same masters, de- msnd the duty upon the finished product will take it off the raw ma tcrial. and the reputliGaaa, mistaK ing the people for drivelrlg idiots obey both orders.s

Mccumber Point. Moral

The attitude of Senator Heflin rrcmpted Senator McCumber, In charge of the tariff bill. to illustrate the difficulty that is encountered in securing agreement even among the members of one party. He said: "Among the ardent protectionists, ,hc senator from Colorado asks for a protection of about 100 per cont ad vslorem on graphite. The ardent protectionist from the state of Mich tgan demands that the article be placed upon the free list.
 Ion the other side of the chamber, we find the senator from Kentucky declaring that he would not give a cent of protection to anything in tho world and immediately we hear from the senator from Alabama (Mr. lief lin), who in the twinkling of an eye is metamorphosed from an ardent free trader to protectionist of the deepest dye.
 ..Now l think senators can realize some of the difficulties that have beset our path for the last two or three months"
 The Democratic View
 It was then that Senator Borah declared that every article which might profit from protection had ;'s advocate in the democratic party. Senator Stanley of Kentucky replied as follows:
 There are some good and patriotic men, so right on other questions that I am tempted to pardon their heterodoxy on the tariff. But the senator is wrong in his generali.a- ton that there is no industry in the south that could be fostered by pro- tection but has it's advocates. There ore not on this continent as many things that could be protected by duties without regard for their jus- tire or propriety than the state have the honor to represent. l have turned face of flint to every in terested appeal from everyone of those industries, great or small, for duties that did not square with the eternal and unalterable faith In me that 1t is industrially and politically dishonest to use the taxing power of the government for any other pur- pose than to produce revenue essen t:ai to maintain the government.

Washington, May si.- Maximum fair prices for spot coal in five dis tricts were announced tonight by
 Secretary Hoover reaching agree
 ments with committees representing
 those Yields under the plan adopted at the general conference of operators
 from producing fields for preventing
 runaway prices on coal at the mines
 during the strike.
 It was determined that in the Ala
 bama field the fair price should be l 25c below the final Garfield scale,"
 or a maximum of $2.20 ton to s2.oo | ton.
 In the Harlan and Hazard field of Kentucky the southern Appalachian l fields of Tennessee and Kentucky and tho Pocohontas, New river. Tug river and Winding gulf folds tsmokeless
 coal districts of West Virginla.) the
 maximum price was fixed at $3.So 1 a ton.
 Costs of production have been re- i duced in the Alabama field since the final Garfield scales were determined,
 MT. Hoover explained. The operators. 1 he said, emphasized that the price set was maximum. that anyone
 might sell below and that long con-
 tracts for coal are necessarily below | the levels set today. In the other
 districts. he declared, production costs
 have increased since the Garfield
 scale and that scale included contract coal which now sells below the maxi
 mum. The operators are to absorb
 reasonable selling expense. Agree On Prices
 The fair prices for the remaining fields which are producing during the
 strike are to be fixed tomorrow after
 conference between Mir. Hoover and committees representing those dis | tricts which were appointed after the | general meeting today.
 The plan adopted at the general
 meeting calls for agreements between
 Mir. Hoover and the different com 1 nlittees upon fair prices for coal at | the mines in their respective dis
 tricts, based upon the Garfield scale
 as modified by local conditions. Moral suasion will be relied upon by MT. , Hoover to keep the agreements in force for the duration of the strike,
 it was indicated. In the Kentucky and Tennessee | fields, Mir. Hoover said in explanation l Of the prices set there, the last Gar ] field prices ranged from g ton to | s3.25 a ton while In the West Virginia | districts the last Garfield prices, in- | cluding selling commission, varied l from s2.50 to & a ton for domestic ] coal and from s3.S5 to si.S5 per ton on export and bunker coal in the
