Lieut.. Wright, Travelling ip Their Wake, Describes Journey While Wireless World Listens in.

.Radiohans of this city found a pleasant thrill awaiting them when they tuned in on Lieutenant F. L.. Wright of the United States army air service, talking from a DeHav- Hand plane, following in the wake of the world flyers in their trip from the Boston airport to Mitchell Field, Long Island.
 Lieutenant Wright said he was talking from the official radio plane for Station WIZ in New York city.
 He said the plane was flying at an altitude of about 2,000 feet and was moving along at speed of about 100 miles an hour. He in- terrupted his descriptions of things he saw, at intervals to say, Its very, very hay up here" or Here .comes the sun. There it goes again."
 He said that due to the haze it was difficult to see much Of the country below him, but he gave a realistic description of the planes in the group. He said that world flyers were in a V formation, with

FALLS ATTORNEYS TRY 10 QUASI PROCEEDING
New Government Hearing Is Kept Very Quiet
 Witnesses Appear

Washington, Sept S.-An attack On the governments new oil lease inquiry was made in the supreme court of the District of Columbia to- day on behalf of Albert B. Fall, for mer secretary of the interior, now under indictment.
 Falls lawyers, asking for a rule to show why the new proceedings should be quashed, contended they were merely a fishing expedition" not designed to obtain indictments, but to obtain evidence.
 The governments special oil counsel never has revealed the na- ture of the latest inquiry, which be- gan several days ago before grand jury here. Subpoenas were issued for IS persons, under the heading of "The United States vs. Albert E. Fall" and a half dozen of the wit nesses already have appeared and have been questioned in the grand jury room. They included officials of the Sinclair Crude oil Purchasing company, which the government is seeking to eject from Teapot Dome as trespasser.
 Presumably today's move by the Fall attorneys was made in the hope of putting stop to the grand jury proceedings or of invalidating any findings the grand Jury might make.

AGED IO2. GIVES PARTY TO 80 DESCENDANTS
Mrs. Eldreth Has 1S3 in All-Dances a Jig and
 Eats With Guests

New York, Sept. S.-Mrs. Han nah Eldred entertained so of her 1SS descendants yesterday at her birthday party in the home of her daughter, Mrs. Maria Mott, Bald win, L. l., by doing a nimble dance step and relating the heroic ex- ploits of her father, a lifesaver, in a wreck on the Long Island coast in 1887. Five generations, repre- senting her 1S3 descendants, were present. Mrs. Eldred was 102 years old yesterday and remembers the wreck of 1887 distinctly.
 Mrs. Eldred said she was going to show the young folks, among whom were some well past 70, and one, Mrs. Mott, who was S3 years old. the jig. with which they used to enliven the Virginia reel in her day.
 It proved to be a most sprightly step. She was panting a bit when she sat down, but she said it was nothing; she could dance like that several times week, if birthdays only came often enough.
 She ate pickled beets and cold cuts with the best of them and pouted when a at-grandmother declared that one piece of the lO2- candled cake was plenty for a young woman of 102, who must watch her figure.

 The fleet, he said, was headed by Major General Nathan M. Patrick, chief of the army air service and Senator Wadsworth and Assistant Secretary of War Davis were also in planes.

 The whir of the big Liberty mo- tors was clearly audible and the whistling of the wind was also mo- ticeable. The lieutenant said at one time that he was holding the mscrophone down into the cockpit in order that the whistling of the wind might not make all other sounds indistinguishable.
