army flyers hopped off this morning for Brough, near Hull, wehre their planes will rest for week or ten days while pontoons are being fitted in preparation for their jump to the Orkney Islands.
 The air conditions this morning were favorable, and the flight Is ex- pected to take about two hours. Half dozen English planes were in the air when the Americans took off, and accompanied them part of the distance as a. courtesy escort, The same American and British officials who yesterday welcomed the t1iers to England were present today to wish their guests good journey,
 The departure was made without incident amid the cheersofa crowd which was small owing to the fact that few knew whether the Ameri- cans were leaving today or tomor- row.
 The pilots of the round-the- world planes will remain in Brough about two days. They will then return to London while the machines are be- ing overhauled. The mechanics will stay in Trough to supervise the reno vation.
 The airmen lost no time in taking leave of London AS soon as they left the ground they headed for Trough without manruvering over

 Nolle Docs No Good
 Discussing disposition of cases by local court officials, the bulletin treats at length of the practice of many prosecutor to nole cases for sum of money. This practice, it says, 50 far as any effort to make better driv- ing through discipline is concerned, is valueless." It provides a means for persons who have violated the motor vehicle law to avoid the publicity of a trial, thereby losing the broad effect of carrying out the principles of the administration of justice through ex- ample"
 The publication takes the view that
 "a careful study of the statistics showing disposition of actual court cases, and an examination of these statistics for other years, shows that enforcement of the motor vehicle law through the courts is becoming better and more and more severe. Cases are being handled bet ter in every particular from the of safety on the highways. The argument of safety is getting into the public mind as the necessity for it increases. It is coming to be ey- pected of court that it will protect the public against the menace of the reckless driver"

ABOUT 3O,OOO AUTO
 DRIVERS SUSPENDED
Of These S69 Were for Driving
 While Intoxicated

Nearly 5000 operators licenses
 were suspended in the first half of this year for various violations of the
 motor vehicle law, it is disclosed in the July bulletin of the state motor vehicle department issued yesterday. The exact number is 2,92S, of which S96 were suspended for reckless ,driv- ing, S6y for intoxication. 67 for evad- | ing responsibility. 11S on account of fatal accidents. 492 for operating without license, 10 for operating un- registered cars, 60l for failure to ye- port accidents and 2S0 for miscella- neous causes.
 At the present rate, the suspension record will exceed that of any pre- vious year since the department was established. For all of last year, 5,2S6 licenses were suspended, for 1922, 1885. and for 1921, 1,1S4.
 Driving While Drunk
 Sixty-three automobiles were sent to jail in the past six months for driving while under the influence of liquor. Four more were similarly dealt with for conviction of reckless driving charges. During 1923, 176 jail sentences were imposed in courts throughout the state for driving while intoxicated and 35 for reckless driv- ing, which figures show that, while the department of motor vehicles is finding it advisable 10 suspend more licenses. the courts are imprisoning less of the motor vehicle offenders. Other figures presented in the de- | pertinent bulletin. however, lead to | the conclusion in it that compari- l son of the statistics indicates great | hope that the discipline by both police | and courts will soon be so severe as to stamp out the willful offense." It is against the type of offense that the major part of the current bulletin is directed by Commissioner Stoeckel reiteratcs the policy of the depart nent ito cooperate in every possible way to help and sustain enforcement officers and the courts, so that the rue intent of the law to punish of- enders shall be carried out. and so hat the great class of non-willful of- enses may be equitably and justly disposed of

FOREST FIRES ARE
 LESS MENAC|NG NOW
Situation in Far West Shows
 Some Improvement

San Francisco. July 17.-Forest fires in Pacific coast states today were less menacing than for many days, due to rains in Washington and Ore gon and moderation of winds in Call fornia. Towns In Pend Oreille County, Washington, which had been in danger, were reported to be no longer threatened,
 One big fire still was burning in the Pine Creek district of Idaho but 1t was in an inaccessible and uninllab- ited though heavily timbered section A number of smaller fires are still burning in that district but are caus- ing no alarm.
 In California the situation was de- clsred to be the best since the fires started, Six big fires were burning but all were said to be under control except that at Mckinney Creek, where the fighters hourly expected to gain the upper hand.
 Virtually all fires in western Wash inston were reported under control. Warning was issued by Fire Warden c. c. Joy of the Washington Forest Fire Association, however, that con stant vigilance must be maintained to prevent serious developments" be-

IF the survey shows any of these parts are required, including new engines to be installed before the hopoff from Kirkwall, they will be ready for instant installation. If the survey shows only moderate wear and tear it is anticipated the work can be com pleted within three days, but it is considered more likely that a full week will be devoted to the most thorough oserhauling.

IN ADOO LOSES
CONVENTION
CHAIRMAN
Brennan Knocks Out Plan OF
Candidate to Name Own
Man at New York
By H. X. REYNOLDS,
International News Service.


Efforts of William G. McAdoo 8
friends to name the permanent
chairman Of the Democratic Ma
tional convention, opening in New
York on June "a, have been blocked
temporarily by George Brennan,
the Illinois boss, with a demand for
the selection Of Senator Thomas
j. Walsh of Montana, it developed
here today.
The McAdoo candidate for the
| craftsmanship is ]. Bruce Kremer,
| vice chairman Of the national COM
n.ittee, whose home is in Montana.
Blocked by Brennan.
The naming of Kremer had been
considered a certainty until Bren-
nan, who came to Washington to
visit his daughter, who is in school
here, found out what was going on
and promptly and effectively inter-
vened.
Brennan's determined opposition
to Kremer had not been anticipated
by the McAdoo men, including
Judge David l.. Rockwell, the Nc
Adoo manager, who was of the
opinion that the decision on the
craftsmanship might now be deferred
until the national committee meets
on June 16 to make final arrange
ments for the convention.
The offering of the Craftsmanship
to Senator walsh is inevitable" In
Brennan's view because OF his lead
ership in exposing the naval oil
scandal as a member or the Senate
Public Lands Committee.
Ku Klux Is Factor.
Brennan is not a member OF the
committee on arrangements for the
convention, which was in session
here when he issued his manifesto
\ in support Of Senator Walsh.
Among those at the committee
meeting were chairman Cordell
] Hull. of the National Committee
| George White, of Ohio; Norman E.
| Mack, of New York; Homer S. Cum
mings, Of Connecticut; Walter Moore.
| of Alabama; Charles Greenhouse, OF
| Indiana; Bruce Kremer. Of Montana
| Charles r. Boechenstein. OF Illinois,
| and Isador B. Dockweiler, Of Cali
| fornia, who will be McAdoo's floor
| manager in the New York con
| Vention.
| Informal discussion by these
Democratic leaders revealed tina:
| the Ku Klux Khan issue would have
! to be dealt with at New York. de
spite the efforts of the McAdoo
supporters to keep it out.
Both Senator Underwood Of Ala
bama and Governor Smith of New
York want the issue met squarely
and it is doubtful IL khan fighN
in the convention can be avoided.

as to Republican financing during
