Crude Tin Can Still
Saves Two in Desert

Tucson, Ariz.-Henry Bode, a min
ing engineer, and his wife, are in
Tucson after a successful fight against
the desert region that lies along the
eastern shores of the Gulf of CalifOr-
MIA. Their supply of water gave out
in the hills, where no springs could
be found while the nearest settle
ment was several days travel away.
SO. seeking the shore of the gulf,
they improvised crude distilling ap-
paratus, mainly from five-gallOn oil
can and several tomato cans. Thus
they obtained enough water for them
selves and four burros for ten days.
Then the party sighted small
Mexican coastwise trading steamer,
which was signaled by the burning
of palm fronds and which sent boat
to the beach. Return to the United
States was by way of the Port of
Guaymas.

ROUND WORLD IN SO DAYS
PLAN OF BRITISH FLYER
Man With Many Sensational
Trips to Credit Hopes to
Start in the Spring.

Alan j. Gotham, one Of the crack
airmen of Great Britain, is going to
try the great adventure Of flying
around the world.
He hopes to leave England about
March "a and the detailed plans for
/ the flight are now being carefully or
! ganized. Gotham is employed by the
De Haviland company and will fly q
DH-9, with 24O-horsepower Siddeley-
Puma engine. With him Will go Lieut..
Commander Mackenzie Grieve, as
navigator, who was with Hawker in
, the latter's attempted transatlantic
, flight.
The pair OF them will go across
, central Europe to ConstantinOple.
then to Bagdad, India, China, Japan,
up to the Aleutian islands and across
to Vancouver and Newfoundland.
Short Brothers, the seaplane build
ers, are making floats for the trip,
which they will pick up first at Shan
ghai and then at Vancouver and To-
ronto.
III any airman can accomplish the
Job Gotham Is the man to do it," said
G. G.. Grey, editor of the Aeroplane.
He will leave nothing to chance. l
think the prospects of his doing the
flight in two months are good. 1t will
naturally be spectacular, especially
the last stage from ST. Johns across
the Atlantic but Gotham will take
as little risk as possible by going via
the Azores"
Gotham has made a number OF long
sensational flights to and from the
continent In the last couple Of years
on jobs of rushing news pictures of
big events to newspapers and has
also figured prominently in the an

town, and firtatious philanthropist,
Wallace Reid has part that fits him
to perfection in Thirty Days." a
melodramatic farce comedy, pictur-
lied by Paramount from the play by
A. e. Thomas and Clayton Hamilton.
He has the type of story the public
loves to see him ina smile and
laugh producer, and Thirty Days .
which comes to the Kenworthy
theatre Thursday, is one of his best.
In this picture, Mr.. Reid has the
role of a wealthy young man, whose
time is spent in charitable work,
mild fiirtations and buzzing around
his fiancee--that is, until the /" Society
OF the Thousand Eyea" swears a
deadly vendetta against him and he
goes to jail to avoid being murdered
The circumstances leading up to this,
his efforts to get into jail, his ex-
periences there, his attempts to stay
in after his time is up, topped by a
visit from his arch enemy at his home
later, make highly amusing enter

FEDERAL ACTION ON FORBES SEEN
Charges Against Former Vet Bureau Head May Be Laid
 Before U. s. Grand Juries

WASHINGTON, Oct. 26.-Charges against Charles R. Forbes, former di- rector of the Veterans bureau, for alleged graft in assigning contracts for government hospitals will be laid before federal grand juries, 1t is now regarded as likely.
 This was indicated Friday at the White House by a spokesman for the President. who emphasized, however, that no final conclusions should be drawn until the full testimony is laid before the special Investigating committee of the Senate.
 It was made clear that President Coolidge will not be drawn into the case, but it was indicated that the. course of action will be that ordi- narily employed-present entation of the evidence gathered by the committee to federal grand juries wherever the alleged Irregularities toook place.
 Forbes, from his seclusion near here, issued a public statement Fri day asking that judgment on testi- mony unfavorable to him presented to the committee be withheld until the committee has the full evidence.
 He said that "every charge and every word of testimony. especially that of Elias H. Mortimer, reflecting on my personal and official in tegrity, are utterly and absolutely false and without the slightest foun- dation."

New Republic Extends Its Hold Over A Number Of Small ToWns-Loyalist Re- sistence Is Suppressed
 KRUPP WORKERS ATTEMPT TO OCCUPY OFFICES Employes Driven Out By Blue Police After Fighting In Which Three Are Killed And Twenty Wounded

CoBLENZ, Oct. 2e.-Open and &C., tive French support enabled the Rhineland republic today to extend towns and villages. French and Bel gian troops enlarged their policing activities in republican controlled towns and quickly suppressed disor- ders growing out of attempts by the loyalists to throw out the saparatist groups.
 Joseph Matthes and his supporters in the separatist movement still hold Coblenz, which became the capital of the new republic overnight when the French military curfew kept loyal ists of the streets while the saparat- ists, who previously had been driven from the town, returned and marched down the streets past the French sentries and took over the govern ment buildings.
 The French representatives known as the superior delegates of the in terallied high commission have been active In establishing or re-estab- fishing new governments in various small towns. The republicans are immediately accorded de factor regu- lation by the French and the Bel gians, who aid them in maintaining order.

 Oppose Separatists.
 The separatists have brought upon themselves the united opposition of the nationalists and communists. The mass of the population is supporting the normal government, but under the Franco Belgian military policy of disarming the police the old offi- cials have been unable to defend themselves.
 The French communiQues have re- vealed much dissatisfa ction with the saparatiass at several points, but it x said the French delegates have been able to strengthen the republi- can position in various ways. Ru- mors that violent reactions were due today were current, but as far as is known tonight all outbreaks were put down promptly. Much fear Is expressed, however, regarding con ditions next week, when unemploy- ment will be greatly increased and the food problem develops. The French report that the free distribu- ton of food already has commenced at Duisburg.

 ENv0Y T0 BRITAIN
Former. U. s. Senator From Minnesota Will Succeed
 George Harvey

WASHINGTON. Oct. 26.-Frank B. Kellogg. former United States sem ator from Minnesota, has been se- lected by President Coolidge as Amer ican ambassador to Great Britain Formal announcement is withheld for the present but the appointment Is ex- pected to become effective soon.
 News that Mir. Kellogg had been chosen to. succeed George Harvey. wbose eslgnation recently was ec- cepted, created a stir at the capitol Senators generally declined to com- ment on the selection, but some of them made little effort to conceal their surprise. Heretofore Mir. Kel- logg's name had not been mentioned prominently in connection with the ambassadorship.
 After service of six years in the Senate, MT Kellogg was a candidate for reelection last November, but was defeated by S0,000 votes in the po- litical upheaval in the northwest, which has swept two farmer labor senators into office from his state and resulted in the election from other states of senators who have been prominent in non-partisan league.
 Throughout his political life MT. Kellogg has stood against these po- litical tendencies. He has been a regular oe the regulars in the re- publican party and was close per sonal friend of the late President Harding.
 Unlike Ambassador Harvey. who is regarded as a bitter ender' in the League of Nations controversy Mir. Kellogg was counted among the mild reservationists" In the Senate fight over the treaty of Versailles. He also was supporter in the Senate and since his retirement of President liar dings proposal for American partici- patton in the world court.
