possible selection that could be made

ARMY FLYERS FINISH coNTINu.
GUS TRIP FROM NEW YORK
TO SAN DIEGO
MAKE RECORD FLIGHT
GIANT AlRSHIP TRAVELS 100
MILES AN HOUR WITHOUT
MISHAP

San Diego, Calif.-All distance rec
ords for nonstop airplane flight were
smashed few days ago by Lieut..
Oakley G. Kelly and John A. Mac
Ready, who flew here from Hemp
stead, n. Y, in 26 hours so minutes
4S % seconds, official time. The dis
tance covered was approximately 2,625
miles, but the flyers average speed
was more than 100 miles an hour be-
cause they did not follow an exact air
line.
It was their second attempt at q
transcontinental flight without a stop,
they having been forced down at Indian
apolis on their way east from San Di-
ego last year. This flight was made
in the same plane though a different
engine had been installed.
The aviators hardly had made one
record than they were laying plans for
yet more ambitious flight-one
around the world. This they hope to
attempt next year, they announced in
a statement concerning their plans
given out here.
"YOu have written a new chapter in
the triumph of American aviation"
said a telegram from President Har-
ding, and scores of other congratula-
tory messages expressed similar en-
thusiasm over the achievement.
The great monoplane To landed at
Rockwell field, according to the Off
cial timers at 26 minutes 56A seconds
past u o'clock noon, Pacific coast
time. The start was at u :36 :1S p. m.
eastern standard time.
There was wild enthusiasm at Rock
well Field when Lieutenant MacReady
nosed the To down and landed the
huge ship with consummate ease on
almost the exact spot where he and
Kelly took off in their attempt to fly
to New York Nov. last.
The crowd, thrilled by the sight of
the beautiful ship and sensing deeply
what its feat meant for Americas
prestige in the Dir, swept the guards
aside like so much chaff and bore
down on Kelly and MacReady, madly
cheering the makers of the country's
first transcontinental flight.
The two air navigators, their faces
splotched with oil and grease but
wreathed in wide grins were fairly
forced up against the fusilage. Here
they were uplifted on the shoulders of
admirers, presented with huge bou-
auets, and not let down until the
throng had yelled itself hOarse.
Major HenU Arnold, commandant
of Rockwell field, and the officials of
the National Aeronautical Association
were caught in the mad rush of the
spectators. Major Arnold finally
fought his way to MacReady and
Kelly's side.
Congratulations" said the major to
both men. "It was n marvellous flight
and we are surely proud of you"
The best previous record for dis
tance covered in nonstop airplane
flight was that set by MacReady and
Kelly in their former trial to cross the
continent without stop, approximate
ly 2,200 miles This distance they
covered in 2T hours 80 seconds, Nov. 3
and 4, 1922. They We're forced down
by failure of their engine, its cylinder
jackets cracking and the cooling
water leaking out of the circulation
system.

Thieves Take Butter
From Medley { Moss

About 700 pounds of butter, made
up in pound prints and packed in
cases, and two cases of eggs, were
stolen from the Medley & Moss es-
tablishment on n. Main street late
Thursday night or early Friday morn
ing of last week.
That the "job" was directed by
someone well acquainted with the
building is indicated by the fact that
the thieves knew directly where to go
for what they wanted and were TAM
liar with the best means OF dong
their work in the quickest, quletes'
and most expeditions manner.
Although no one seems to have CD
served anything that night winch
might be connected with tie robbery
the theory is that the burglars had
truck parked near by to which they
carried their loot.

Farmers In Favor
OF Stock Pavilion

The Livestock Sales Pavilion Co.,
the organization which built the sales
pavilion on the Fair Grounds at Ellis
worth, has been adjudged bankrupt,
end the disposal of the building IS
new unGer discussion.
Atty. L. S. Doolittle has been plac-
ed in charge of the affairs of the
Company. He informs US that the
question now is whether the Building
can be sold to the Pierce County FAN
association. or whether it is to nt
torn down and the lumber sold. 1t i;
said that the Fair association may
buy the building for about $4,000.
When subscriptions were beng
signed for this project the response
indicated very clearly that the farm
ers of Pierce County wanted live
stock sales pavilion, and it appears tc
be the general opinion that it would
be shame to dismantle the building
now, when it could be retained at suef
a comparatively small cost.
The disposal of the property vii
be watched with interest throughout
the county.

Friday A Hoodoo
For River Falls

River Falls Normal's championship
football aspirations were dashed last
Friday when Superior bore off the
honors in hard fought battle here.
IA to 0.
Superior had great team, and
there is no assurance that the Red &
White could have beat them with
everything breaking right, but asst
Fridays hoodo tromred all over
Coach Eggebrecht's squad and proved
a handicap which made their feat of
holding the northern giants to two
touchdowns nothing less than heroic.
Mat. Nelson, star line plunger and
River Falls chief reliance in backing
up the line, was out of the game;
Capt. Moline was sick; Quandt so
badly hurt it was useless to try him
on the long passes which have featur-
ed other games; Follansbce had to be
taken out, and even the reliable
Ziebell was way off form. To add
to their advantage, Superior had their
Captain, Murphy, back in this game.
The Orange & Black started pick
ing four-leaf clovers right after the
first kickoff. A River Falls tumble
handed them the ball in local terri
tory and gave them the opportunity
to open up with all they had to score
the first touchdown. Their punting
was exceptional, also, and it kept
River Falls too close to their own
goal to allow them to try their favor
tie brand of open football
Nevertheless the Red & White put
up a grand, game battle, and during
the final quarter had the visitors on
the run most of the time, but could
not quite reach the goal, tumble or
a muffed pass always coming at the
critical moment.
River Falls, however, has had a
very successful season, and Coach
Eggebrecht and his squad are to be
congratulated upon the excellent
showing which they have made.
Basketball practice is to commence
next week, and it is prophesied that
the Red & White will uphold its repu-
tation as always among the leaders
in the conference. Superior, Eau
Claire, Stout, baskerville and Stevens
Point Normals are on the schedule
for this winter.

City Crime Probe
Now Under Way

City officials of River Fa',s are
conducting a series of private hear
ings which are calculated to clear up
the mystery of many robbeT;es whiIr
have occurred here during TIE past
few months.
The officials are not con:iEin.y tht
examinations to those suspected Of
having taken part in the various
crimes, but are questioning everyone
who might be able to throw light or
the matter from any angle.
Robberies, although for the most
part petty affairs, have become SC
numerous here lately, with no indi'
cation of a let-up, that the city
authorities have deemed it advisable
to spare no expense and to utilize
every means to discover, if possible
just where the responsibility for
this sad state of affairs rests, and to
stop the petty "crime wave if it can
be stopped.
The assistance of one of the
country's leading detective bureaus
has been enlisted by the city, and the
inyes LEGATIONS are to be continued
until, through convictions or other
means. River Falls may feel reason
able safe from depredations of this
sort.
1t is to the interest of every resi-
dent of this city that this matter DC
cleared up. If there are persons here
who are committing this sort OF crime
everyone who can should be glad tc
assist in the disclosure. Parents GER
tainly do not want their children thus
engaged; nor do they want then
children to associate with those wnt
might influence them to crime. Livery
business men in this city should sup
port the investigation, for no on'
knows when his establishment might
be raided if burglary is not checked
1t is an affair of the whole ccmmun
ity, and cooperation Is required Il
the results are to be satisfactory.
However, there is altogcthor
much talk about the case. 1t be
hooves one to use careful judgmen
in declaring oneself regarding thu
guilt of others. The stamping out o
crime is Handicapped rather than aide'
by careless accusations, and the repu
tation of innocent persons may b.
ruined in this manner.
ANY actual information which
would have bearing on the matte
should be gladly forwarded to the OF
ficials; those having no basis upol
which to make statements concerning
the robberies should refrain from tn
dangerous business of broadcastini
unfounded conclusions of opinions.

NOTICE

It has come to my attention that
rumors are in circulation regarding
Howard Collins, Edward O'Connor,
Mark Green, Rex Green and Roman
Hastert in connection with some pro-
perty which was taken from the high
school building, and because CT the
fact that these boys were sulbpocnaed
as witness that the inference has
been drawn that they had some con-
nection with the offense cOmitted.
| desire to publicly state that no
charge whatsoever is made against
these boys and they were not ac-
cus2d of comlicity in the offense COM
nitted, and no evidence is at hand
that in any way connects them with
the offense. Inquiry was made OF
them, the same as it has been made
of many other people, for the purpose
of ascertaining information as to
who might have committed the Of
Tense. and for the purpose of aiding
in the proper administration of the
Law. The fact that they were sub
poenaed casts no reflection whatso'
ever upon them Each of the boys
was paid his witness fees for attend
ing the proceedings.
