Aircraft Are Headed Over Eastern Ohio In Effort To
 Break Records

INDIANAPOLIS, July 5.-CBy As scciated Press Seven of the 1S bal looms which took off here yesterday afternoon in the national contest for distance still were in the air and drifting east ever eastern Ohio at a late hour this afternoon, according to word received by the Indianapolis Chamber of Commerce, sponsor for the race.
 Thrills plenty marked the brief stay in the air of the four bags which reported having landed near various cities in Indiana and Ohio. One pilot and his aide were forced to jump for safety as their balloon came down. They suffered slight injuries and the loss of their ship, which were brought to earth for forced landings but the men suffered no in jury.
 Army And Navy Have Edge.
 Army and navy entries may have a decided advantage In the contest now, as five of the seven craft re- nlaining in the running belong to the service. The other two balloons, which so far as is known still are Legionnaire" and the St Louis" The army has three ships in the race and the navy four. The quartet of en- tries which have ended their journeys were privately owned.
 Pilots who are out of the race are: Roy F. Donaldson, Springfield, III. in charge of the City of Spring field" w. T. Van Orman of Akron, O., in charge of the City of Akron :" Ralph Upson. Detroit, flying the De troit;" Jack Boettner of Arkon, O., In command of the Goodyear H." Lieut., James Jordan, piloting the army bal loon ST, and Lieut.. Com. J. P. North fleet of the navy balloon A6074
 Boettner travelled approximately 800 miles, greater distance than any of the others who had landed. He brought his ship down near Free mont, O., at Il a. m, today when he saw that he was drifting toward the lake.
 Donaldson reported he was unable to operate the rip panel on the City of Sprinfield," and the ship Hlade a hurried landing, both the pilot and P. A. Earlach, Springfield, ILL, jump ing as the basket skinned the The balloon escaped them with all their equipment, but later drIfted down near Sylvania, o.
 Experiences Thriii.
 Upson experienced a thrill when the bag of his craft split at a height oi 5.S000 feet and began to descend
 
 bottom of the balloon, however, and it formed a parachute and drifted to earth, with so per cent gas expended. The descent was made in six minutes, the craft landing near Wapakoneta, O., at a. m. this morning.
 Torn fabric forced W. T. Van Or man of Akron. :, in the City of Akron to quit the race at 10 o'clock last night. He came to the ground five miles north of Hartford City, Ind, giving up only after he had thrown away all of his equipment in an effort to ascend.
 Upson reported having been in con- Versation last night with Lieut.. Com. !. F. Norfleet of Lakehurst, N. J., who is siding in q navy entry, the United Estates navy A-G074, as the ships nrifted over Muncie. Conversation vas held by use of megaphones. he said.

R|CHBERG ATTACKS METHODS USED IN VALU|NG CARRIERS
Urges That Actual Invest ment Costs Of Roads
 Be Considered

WASHINGTON, July 5.-Arguments on the general principles involved in the federal valuation of railroads now nearing completion-opened to- day before the interstate commerce commission with an attack on the methods of the commission in ar irving at it's conclusions by D. R. Richberg, counsel for the National Conference on American Railroad Valuation. He was followed by P. J. Farrell, solicitor for the commission, in a defense of it's valuation con- clusions.
 MT, Richbergs chief contention was that the commission was bound 10 ascertain and use in placing value on railroads estimates of the actual investment made in acquiring and constructing transportation proper ties. Where books are not available or are untrustworthy as to these fist ures, he said, the commissi< couCd assemble engineering experts to dt\ termine actual costs. He further urged that suchc first costs should not be allowed to include any eX- cess payments made to contractors or others because of bad or dishon- est management or for enhancement of profits.

 Have Accumulated Evidence.
 Are you aware of the fact" Chair man Meyer asked, that in our Valu- ation department we have accumulat- ed a good deal of evidence IS to the cost to date of railroad construction and that when reproduction costs, as of the date, 1914, are estimated, the two figures are very similar?
 But if the commission Is going to consider reproduction costs at all, v MT. Richberg responded, Tit must con- sider, the courts have ruled, the pres ent costs of reproduction as they stand on the increased price levels of 1922 and 1923. not as costs of re- production in 1914 would have been.'
 That question will be considered when the problem of bringing valua- tions up to date is attacked,' Chair man Meyer remarked.
 "No" Mir. Richberg insisted. We consider that the commission will obey the courts in constructing it's valuation data. Observe then where we shall be left; we shall have here a figure representing the cost of reproducing roads on the price basis of 1922 or 1923. That tremendously enhanced levels of 1922 cost it will

 Solicitor Farrell argued that the element of cost to date never could be established as fact. Some data as to actual investment made by original railroad builders would be helpful, he conceded, but not of final importance in swaying I commissions S conclusions as to the value of a rail- road.
 The hearing, begun today, is ex- pected to continue through Saturday.

ROME, July 5.-Reports that the French government has sold Jugo- Slavia the old Russian mCnarchist fleet, now concentrated at Bizerta, have caused a tremendous sensation here.
