Representative Collier Democrat,

with the rewriting of the tariff bill.
Good progress in that dire :tion was
reported and Chairman McCumber,
of the senate managers, believed the
task would be finished by the end
of this week or early in the next
week.
Chairman Fordney, Of the house
managers, led the opposition to i'm
mediate consideration of the bonus
bill. He argued that the tariff al
ready had been nearly three years in
the making and that it should not
be laid aside. Urging quick action on
the bonus, Chairman McCumber ar
gued that an agreement on this
measure probably could be reached
within a few hours and called at

SAN ANTONIO, Tex, Sept s.
| Lieut.. James H. Doolittle landed at
San Antonio at 7:10 this morning
on this one-stop flight from coast to
| coast and hoped off again for San
Diego, Cal, at 1923, after replenish-
ing his gasoline and oil supply. He
started at Jacksonville.
Lieutenant Doolittle was in high
spirits when he landed Tuesday
morning. He told a Kelly field Off
GER that only one time during his
al1-night ride-did he feel the least
bit drowsy and that was when he
was only about two hours out of
Jacksonville.
The fier expressed supreme con-
fidence in making San Diego with
out a mishap. The sky from the
Atlantic was cloudy all night and
he was forced to fly by the compass
course. He stated, however, that
after reaching the Pecos river he
believed he would fly into clear at
mosphere and re-hain in it all the
way to the enc.
The stop at Kelly field was for
breakfast, rest and medical exami-
nation.
Don't worry-I'll be there in time
| for dinner" Lieutenant Doolittle
SAID just before climbing into his
ship at Kelly field. I'll get there
before dark. I'm feeling fine"
Lieutenant Doolittle explained that
on his flight here he was forced
to go against a head wind, and tina:
near New Orleans he ran into a
heavy rain lasting two hours. The
rain necessitated a detour from his
course, which caused Lieutenant
Doolittle to run slightly behind his
| schedule. However, he assured
friends that he would make up the
| lost time between Kelly field and
| the Pacific coast.
On the flight from the Atlantic
coast, the motor in the big De Havi-
land registered 1,480 revolutions per
minute, and the motor burned 10 IL
gallons of gasoline an hour. There
were Ga gallons of gasoline left in his
tank.
