FLYERS ARRIVING HERE
 FOR BIG AIR CLASSIC
Stage Is Virtually Set For Speed Contests At
 Roberts Field Saturday And Sunday

Flyers. who will participate in the Great Southern Air Meet and 100. Mile Plane Derby. began dropping into Birmingham Thursday afternoon. Dropping in is right--as they swooped down out of the sky and landed at Roberts Field. Three planes from Montgomery came in Thursday and the other members of the twenty second squadron are expected today. Also a plane came in from Dayton, Ohio. They are expected to be hitting the skyline thick and fast today, as there are some thirty five planes to be here from eight government camps for Saturday and Sundays events. A
 The stage is all set for the greatest air meet ever to be held in the south and Birmingham is getting ready for two of the biggest sport days in her his tory. It would be impossible to stage such a spectacle without government aid as there will be well over a million dollars worth of planes and army air equipment here for the two-day at traction.
 The fort, which will be blown up by an air attack, participated in by the twenty-second observation squadron from Montgomery, has about been com pleted and the finishing touches will be placed on this structure Friday. It is being builded out of thousands of boxes donated by Birmingham mer- chants and thousands of feet of lum- Der.
 Local sportsmen, who have been dab bling around into air records and the like are going in strong for the 100- mile speed race. An air race is said to furnish more thrills than horse race, and is twenty times as dangerous to the pilots. This event will be staged in two heats-a 50-mile heat Saturday afternoon and another to follow Sun day afternoon. Some of the swiftest planes owned by the government and piloted by some of the biggest dare devils in Uncle Sam's service will be entered in these events and it is prob able that the 100-mile speed record will go ,tumbling by the time, the returns are all in Sunday afternoon,
 Commander Major WY. Nj. Robert son, Jr., stated Thursday afternoon that from all appearances a crowd of 15,000 would turn out for the Saturday afternoon event with the number being swollen for the Sunday afternoon pro- gram. "All have to say" said Ma jor Robertson, lis that any person who witnesses Saturdays events will be back for the Sunday card and will bring friends with him. It is an event

LOS ANGELES, May 22.-Jack Kearns, manager for Jack Dempsey, heavyweight champion, today declared that reports in eastern newspapers that Dempsey was trying to sidestep a match with Harry Wills, in order to meet Carpenter or Firpo first are without foundation.

that is bound to please, as it is more chock full of thrills and real sport and hair-raising episodes than anything ever before staged in this section of the country. I really believe that it will prove the greatest air meet ever staged in the United States"
 A big air pageant will be staged over Birmingham Saturday afternoon at 12 80 with the entire 35 planes talk ing part They will fly in parade formation and will swoop low in order that downtowners can get a good look. A duplicate of this parade will follow Sunday afternoon.

Calling the Ku Klux KHAN by name
John w. Davis, democratic presiden-
tial nominee, declared in an address
here today that this organization
or any other which raises the STAN
dard of radical or religious prelud-
ices 'must be condemned by all who
believe as / do in American ideals"
Having thus made his position
clear, he expressed the hope that
President Coolidge would see fit to
join him in removing the khan
issue from the field. He added thst
the khan had no proper place in
this or any other campaign.
In his address Davis made it
clear that in his judgment Presi-
dent Coolidge failed in his accep-
lance address to meet the issue Of
the corruption in public office.
Referring specifically to the oil,
veterans bureau and prohibition
scandals, Mr.. Davis declared that the
republican party could not escape
the responsibility for the acts Of
men elevated by it to power.
IF the fact is that the public
resources have been squandered, is
it any answer to say that budget
system has been installed; if unfit
and corrupt men have been put and
kept in office, and left to their own
devices, is it sufficient defense that
the administration was not actually
