The funds could not be touched

ments' rest await him during the flight
scheduled to consume sixteen hours
and forty minutes, just four hours less
than the maximum amount of day
light afforded him. From his margin
of time the four refuelng stops may
take two hours. but he hopes to cut
each stop to third it's scheduled time.
Before retiring for a short rest late
in the evening, the lieutenant was

when he arose and went to the field
his face was set.
1t may have been memories. Twice
before details have cheated him of a
victory earned in full measure.
Forced Down Twice.
July 10 of last year he set out with
the same hopes in the optimism of a
first trial Midway across the coun-
try a small motor ailment forced
him down. The plane was rushed
back, and ten days later a second at
tempt was begun.
This promised success through every
hard stage of the journey until at
Rock Springs. Wyo.. 600 miles from
his goal. an oil leak of no conse-
quence in repairing but vital in the
air forced him down.
This time those details have been
more carefully watched. and there is
little doubt that he would reach Day
ton. Ohio. the first stop. The other
stops are ST. Joseph. Mo: Cheyenne,
Wyo.. or Salduro, Utah. Each is a
milestone Maughan is confident he will
pass, in spite of reported rain and

GOLF MATCH FIGHT
PROBED BY SHERIFF
Montgomery County Officials May
Ask for Arrest Of One or
Both Men.
CADDIES ARE QUESTIONED
Disorderly Conduct Charge Consid-
cred Possible.

On the eve of formal investiga-
ton by the club OF the affray last
Thursday on the golf links Of the
Chevy Chase Club. during the course
of which Senator Robinson OF Arkan-
sas is said to have struck DR.. James
+. Mitchell it became known today
that the authorities of Montgomery
County are investigating the Incl
dent and will follow their inquiry to
find out II any law has been violated.
The investigation has been begun by
Sheriff Clay Plummer, acting under
Garrett Of Rockville. Plummer Wis
tied the course yesterday and ques-
toned caddies. but the caddies would
not admit having seen blows actually
struck by the two distinguished par
ticipants in the alleged fight.
VIII Consider Statements.
The board of governors of the Chevy
Chase Club meets at 4:3o o'clock this
afternoon at the metropolitan Club
and will consider statements of the
two principals and of other members
of the golf matches. in which a ques-
ton of golf etiquette is said TO have
inspired the physical encounter. Sen
ators kendrick of Wyoming, Jones OF
New Mexico and Walsh of Montana
were playing with Senator Robinson,
while DR.. Mitchell was accompanied j..
by Col Edward Clifford, former under
secretary of the Treasury, and his son.
Action Of Sheriff Plunner in inves-
tigating the incident was taken on
the initiative of county officials and
not on a complaint made by either OF
the two principals in the alleged fist
fight or their friends. Although an
assault charge could not be pushed
unless complaint was made, the
county may cause the arrest OF one
or both of the men on a charge Of
disorderly conduct or disturbing the
peace, it was said
Prompt Action Promised
Although neither Senator Robinson
or DR.. Mitchell are in the city, state
ments from both and from other
members of the two golf matches
will be laid before the board OF gov
ernors at the meeting this afternoon.
Prompt" and decisive action was
promised by President Alexander
Britton of the club in the matter, but
disposition of the affairs rests with
the board.
The alteration has created much
discussion in golf circles in Washing
ton and the physical encounter is de-
clared to be without precedent here.
