advisable to attempt the trip today.
The course chosen for the next leg
is directly down the center of Shell
kof strait.
Snow squalls yesterday prevented
resumption of the flight. The flyers
arrived here late Sunday from Sitka,
Alaska, $50 miles southeast of Sew
ard. The trip was described by Maj
Frederick L. Martin, commander of
the aerial armada, as the worst ex-
perienced since leaving Santa Monica.

about midway between Sitka and
Seward, Maj. Martin said.

A, the Methodist congrega- tions of the Birmingham district and to Birmingham-Southern college, which institution is indebted to Mrs. Munger for innumerable gifts. One of these is the Mary G. Munger( chair of English which she endowed following the en- dowment of a chair of physical educa- tion by her husband.
 At his death Mir Munger left the sum of $100,000 for Mrs. Munger to bestow on Birmingham-Southern, and of this sum she directed that $50,00O be used for the establishment of the all most completed Munger Bowl, which will be dedicated this autumn and which she directed should be named in memory of her, husband. This athletic ground is said to compare with any in the south.
 Mrs. Munger joined in bestowine gifts upon the Walker Memorial church, and in others channels that perhaps even her most intimate friends have scarcely heard of. It was re- called Monday by many persons who were grieved to hear of the death of Mrs. Munger, that when publicly hon ored some two years ago, it was to his wife that Mir. Munger turned and said that to her all honor was due.

ASK MAINTENANCE FUND
Federal Carriers Hold Annual Session
 At Montgomery.

MONTGOMERY, Ala, Sept. l. Special)-Members of the Alabama Federation of Rural Letter Carriers, in annual convention here, Monday voted to continue their fight to obtain the en- actment of Congress of a bill giving them a maintenance fund of four cents a mile for their vehicles. Congress passed the bill at the last session but President Coolidge returned it with his disapproval. The convention urged all rural letter carriers to continue the fight despite the presidents opposition.
 The original request called for six cents a mile, but the carriers agreed to accept four cents when it appeared that the bill in it's orig nal form would be defeated. S. A. Reynolds, president of the federation, spent much time in Washington in lending aid to the cam paign. At present the government does not make any contribution for the maintenance of vehicles used in trans porting the mails on rural routes.
 The first days session was devoted to a discussion of the problems faced by rural letter carriers. Greatest at tention was given to the plan for the campaign for the maintenance fund. The delegates were welcomed to Mont gomery by William G. Black, secretary of the Montgomery Chamber of Com merce; Douglas Goode, assistant post master and o. P. Davis, representing the rural carriers of Montgomery county.
 T. o. Kimbrough from Fairfield, formerly rural carrier but now a city carrier, made an address in which he suggested methods for use in the move ment for the maintenance. He said all congressman should be carried on trips with the carriers and stated that such trip would convince the congressman of the necessity for the maintenance fund.

The case against the Sheltons for the murder of Cagle was also called but was dismissed when the witnesses for the prosecution could not be located. Glenn Young failed to appear and bis bonds were ordered for feited. His attorneys claim affidavits of physicians showed good excuse for his absence.
 Convict Deputized
 "The sheriff armed several deputies, among whom were Gro Thomas who became a deputy the next day after be- ing released from jail where he had served a sentence for bootlegging, and Bud Allison who is commonly regarded as an ex-convict and other men of his type. A number of leading citizens wishing to prevent the bloodshed which they feared was imminent wired the governor for help but without effect.
 Last Saturday afternoon according to the best information available the sheriff went to Smiths garage as he says to take possession of the automo- bile placed there by other legal author ities. While there Harry Herrin, pres ident ot the board of health and com panion, came along and were attacked by the sheriff and his men. In a few moments Charles Denham, dry alder man who had assisted in raids, came along with three other men in an auto mobile. They were stopped by the sher- if and his men who opend fire. In the fight which followed the three oc- cupaats of the rear seat were killed, the other two were wounded and three of the men who came with the sheriff were killed. A fourth deputy was wounded. As above indicated, we do not make this as a positive statement of the facts but it is only our belief after careful investigation.
 What is the remedy? The impris- onment of innocent men upon un- founded charges must cease. The per sons guilty of these outrages must be brought to justice without favor or partisanship. Honest witnesses must not be so eowed that they will fear to give evidence. The courts must dis pense justice, punishing the guilty and protecting the innocent. To do that. we need a states attorney who will en- force the law and a sheriff who will apprehend the real criminals. We have neither"
