BRITAIN AND

AGREEMENT?
Expect Definite Results in
Row About Wet
Ship Seizures.

Washinton, Oct f7.-By the As
sociated Press.)- .)-Negotiations be-
tween the British embassy and the
state department, looking to the re-
lease from custody and vessels Of
British registry seized by prohibi-
tion forces outside the three-mile
limit we're expected to take more
definite form as a result Of the re-
fusal Of the British government to
enter an agreement which would
permit of reciprocal authority to
make such seizures.
A suggestion from the United
States that an agreement whereby
the two governments could exer-

last night, on the ground that an

assist in curbing the activities of
smugglers along the American
coasts.
Sharp Disagreement.

FEAT OF FLIER
AMAZES ARMY.
NAVY EXPERTS
Goes 400 Feet a Sec
ond; Flies With
out Wings

MOUNT ClemOnS, Mlcn., Oct. H.
(By The Associated Press. ss.)-Aero-
engineers and army and
navy experts at Selfridge Field
were speculating today as to what
might be the next unheard of aer-
lal feat. They came here q week
ago prepared for surprises, but none
had expected to see a human being
plunge through space at nearly 400
feet second, nor had they expect
ed to see an aeroplane flown virtu-
ally without the aid of wings.
This was the performance yes
terday of Lieutenant R. L. Maug-
han, OF the army, who on Saturday
won the Pulitzer Aero classic. Fly
ing a Curtiss-Army biplane, with
which he was victorious Saturday,
Lieutenant Maughan yesterday
Travelled one kilometer at the rate
of 24S.5 miles an hour, surprising
by more than 81 miles, the previous
official record and making the dis
tance 28 miles an hour faster than
any unrecognized mark previously
recorded.
VIII Decide Plane Types.
The record-breaking fight was
part OF the government tests of new
type planes built for the naval air
race. Lieutenant Maughan's feat.
it was said, would virtually decide
the type of plane the army will
select to develop as the standard for
the pursuit group.
The pilots great speed was even
surpassed, in the opinion of some
Of the engineers, by his flight

During the Pulitzer race, Lieu
i tenant Maughan's pylon work
startled many of the pilots on the
field. At more than 200 miles an
hour, he would tilt his machine
| on one side for a considerable dis
tance, then complete the 120 de-
gree turns upside down. This
aroused speculation as to the dis
tance a machine might be flown ol
it's side, a position in which the
planes had little or nothing to do
with keeping it in the air.
! Lieutenant Maughan believed this
: art might be developed and DEM
i onstrated by a flight across Self
ridge Field, a distance of about a
mile, that under certain conditions
a plane might be flown in that posi-
tion for much greater distance
| than usually is required in making
| turns.

powerful motor was sufficient tc

For Primary Teachers.

Speaking for the Primary Tea chers'
association, Miss Evelyn Thornton.
president of the association. compared
the courses of study for teachers 45
years ago to that of today. calling at
tention to the fact that though all be-
ginnings must be small, it is the foun-
dation that is most necessary in all
work
Miss Thornton called attention to the
Importance OF early training and the
old saying that it is the first seven
years of the child that counts.
Speaking OF the primary schools as
the melting pots of the nation, she
pointed out the various types which are
brought together In the schools, to be
turned out good citizens.
That the school teacher must have
self control, originality, alertness, pa
thence. intelligence, enthusiasm. YER
satility and personality, plus. were
other points made by Miss Thornton,
who said that the teacher should be
the best-and that the best was never
cheap
She closed with a reference to Mr..
Britling Sees 1t Through" IN which
Wells. through the type Of Englishman
embodied in Mr.. Drifting. shows the
lack in the public school system Of
England, and she suggested that IL he
had come to America, perhaps he might
not have been so disappointed
Mrs. MelIen Speaks.
Mrs. Mellen followed Miss Thornton
and in very pleasing way spoke Of
the Influence of Mrs. McReynolds dur
ing the years she has given to her
chosen work. One point made by Mrs
Mellen was illustrated by member Of
her own young family, whom she said
she felt had learned how to apply
himself to his work. because OF the
training received by him in the second
grade. taught by Mrs. McReynolds.
She spoke of others who felt. the
same respect for training given TO them
and their children by Mrs. McReynolds.
and cited a young teacher who had
who had gone to Boston, and had been
much compiimented on her methods Of
teaching she had learned
from Mrs. McReynolds.

ton by the Rev. William McIlwain.

NOTHING new ON
CRINNELL MURDER
All Persons Held Under Suspicion OF
investigation Are Given Their
Liberty.

There were no new developments in
connection with the mysterious death
of Chester Grinnell yesterday. In fact
the county and city authorities are
more at loss than ever, with no pros
poets of uncovering anything that win
shed light on the depIorable murder
of the young man who was found
back of the shipyard last Sunday with
his neck broken.
Joe Fruetal, the taxi driver who was
ARRESTED Sunday because of his myster-
ious actions. was released yesterday
AFTERNOON after everything that he had
told the police had proven to be the
truth. Every possible clue was followed
but in no way could anything be dis
covered that would implicate Freutal.
Hood was also released.
Coroner Will Johnson has discontin-
lued any further elaboration of the
Icoroner's jury until Friday morning
and it is hoped that in the meantime
something new viii develop. Although
the prospects of solving the apparent
mystery look very discouraging Just at
the present time the police have not
given UP. They are still working.
The opinion was advanced yesterday
that probably Grinnen was not muir
dered, but that his death could have
been caused by a fall or some other
means. However, this is more or less
speculation, as the manner in which
the young man was beaten up seems to
put such an opinion to flight.
The funeral was held from the home
on Barrancas avenue yesterday after
noon, and burial was made in the War
rington cemetery.
