 Lieutenant Lowell H. Smith, piloting the plane Chicago and commanding the expedition after Major Martins acci- dent had considerable engine trouble. After crossing the China sea to Shang- hia, Smiths companions were forced to wait a day in China while he fixed his engine df Kagoshima, the last point touched by the aviators in Japan. At Calcutta, he broke a rib.
 '-.7 Boston Eliminated
 From that point until August 3, the expedition suffered no mishaps. On that day. however, Lieutenant Smith and Lieutenant Leigh Wade, pilot of the plane Boston, attempted to rejoin Lieutenant Erik Nelson, pilot of the New Orleans, at Hornafjord, Iceland, whence he had flown alone the previous day from Kirkwall, Orkney Islands. Lieutenant Wade was forced down on account of engine trouble and Lieuten- ant Smith continued to his destination Lieutenant Wade was rescued by the United States Cruiser Richmond. In hoisting the plane from the water, a heavy steel beam of the crane broke and went through the machine, thus putting the Boston out of the flight.
 Despite the number of days the men were not flying, they declared they had only three days recreation. one day each in Tokio, London and Paris. The rest of their time was spent on their machines, If to 16 hours of hard work daily.
 The flyers received an invitation to witness a double beheading at Bang kok, Siam, for first degree murder. Be- headings are rare and are usually car ried out in private with only distihg- uished persons present. The flyers de clined the invitations owing to the flight being continued a couple of hours before the executions.
 In a letter writeen by Lieutenant John Harding. Jr., Lieutenant Nelson's companion, he said both of them ''got a kick out of seeing pieces of metal and piston rings fly out the exhaust pipe when an exhaust valve guide broke while they were over the Sind desert D miles from Karachi, India. Lieutenant Harding declared, however, that they were "a little uneasey, due to the fact that the country 5000 feet below was nothing but rough, sandy desert in all directions and forced landing on the rolling, hilly and cactus infested sands would probably wreck the plane" Although the connecting rod of the engine was broken the plane arrived at Karachi.
 A Narrow Squeeze
 Lieutenant Wade said that the most interesting part of the world trip was the crossing of the Taurus Mountains in Asia Mnior, the machines having to fly single file through a narrow gorge and the wings nearly touching the sides Heavy clouds were overhead and rush ing torrent below.

 The campaign will be decided in the coming four weeks. The two big drives which will be the decisive factors are yet to be made. One is the La Toilette trans-contitental trip, which may start in about week. On this tour, La Toilette will go through his northwest steYftory and into California with the objective of dividing the republican votes everywhere in the west
 Meanwhile Davis will cruise around the east and middlewest, with the ob- ject of adding enough votes to his south ern nestegs to assure him of election. The democrats are placing high hopes on New York state, which they believe they can carry with the aid of Al Smith,

POISONED FRIEND
 TO OBTAIN WIFE, MINER ADMITS
Hated To Kill Harrington, But Had To Have
 Her, Says Tate

MARION, H., Sept. 2S.-Joseph Her. rington, a quiet, mild-mannered and hard working coal miner, stood in the way of the romance between his wife, Ruby, and Robert Tate, fellow miner, so the lovers poisoned him, Tate de- clared in confession made Sunday to Sheriff Galligan. s,
 We had talked over putting Joey out of the way for a long time," Tate said ''He was a friend of mine and I hated to do it, but had to have her and she had to have me. bought poison and after talking to Ruby I de cided I would put it in his lunch while we were working 1 poisoned his lunch enc day and he just got sick.
 Wife Finished Job
 Ruby finished up the job. She put poison in his lunch and later, when he didn't die, l put poison in some fruit and told her to put it in buttermilk. He was sick then and this dose finished him up"
 Tate's confession came after he hal been grilled almost continuously Sat urday, Saturday night and most of Sunday. Early Sunday he had shown indications of breaking down and had admitted that he knew in advance thai Mrs. Harrington intended to poison her husband so that she might marry him But he insisted that she had no connec- ton with Herrington's death other than this.
 Harrington In Way
 "Now Tate, we know Harrington died from poison. His stomach shows it." the sheriff said Why don't you tell us the truth? Maybe you and Ruby didn't know what you were doing"
 Tate wavered few minutes and then said:
 Its true, but don't know how you found it out. l started 1t and she finished the job She wanted to be married and Harrington was in the way"
 Stenographic notes had been taken of Tate's statements and later formal confession was prepared, which he read and signed, 51+
 Wed Within 3 Weeks
 Within three weeks after Harrington died Tate married his widow and they moved to West Frankfort to live. They believed they never would be found out, Tate told the sheriff.
 When we heard people talking about that minister, Flight, and Mrs. Sweetin, we began to get scared and Ruby and I thought that perhaps we had better go away" Tate said. But we didn't know that we were suspected until we were arrested"
 The little town of Ipa, H., is about 65 miles from Johnson City and when news of the suspicious of the towns folk there about the Hight-Sweetin case reached Tate's home town, the people there began recalling the circumstances under which Harrington had died. This led to the exhumation of Harrington S body. During an examination of the stomach evidence indicating poisoning was discovered.
 Mrs. Tate was arrested Saturday, shortly after she had gone to the cem' etery in Johnston City where her hus- bands body was being exhumed. She entered the cemetery just in time to see men lifting the casket out of the grave. She had gone to her former home to inquire whether a miner $ union death benefit due for Herring tons death had been paid to her mother. Tate was arrested Soon afterwards.

RABBI kAPLAN ON
 THE ART 0F LIVING
KiWanians Hear Interesting Ad.
 dress at Noon Meeting

''The finest Of all arts is not music, poetry or painting, it is character said Rabbi E. N. Kaplan. of Water bury, in an address to the kiwanis club at the regular noon meeting to- day. Rabbi kaplan took as his sub icct. "The Art of Living" He pointed out that there were certain funda- mental principals in all arts. even in jazz music, of futuristic paintings. certain rules must be observed or all would be confusion.
 "The finest rule of the art of living IS the golden rule of life. he said The issue of the Golden Rule will he the future religion, 1t unites su men into one great brotherhood. There can be no finer thing than that.
 Another fundamental is self con- trOl-the foundation Of all virtues. Ii makes one q master. He does not have it as a salve. Alexander the Great asked group Of sages who was hero and he received the answer, he Is hero who can control him self. Control your emotions.
 There is nothing ugier in life than to have an irritable disposition and 10 become angry on slight provocation. To lose ones temper is 10 lose ones good sense. Madness is a synonym in the English language for anger. be- cause when a man gets angry he gets mad.
 A great animal trainer once said that when you speak ansrily 10 a hors" it raises it's pulse beats 10 times a minute, He who becomes angry loses in the end every time. Patience is an important element of control and often the key to success.
 Courtesy Is one of the clements in the art Of living that makes life beau tiful. Ii is a valuable thing 10 possess. It is a magnet just as curtness will create opposition and friction"
