fore Judge Robert A. Cony.
The respondent through his Pt-
torney, Samuel Titcomb, entered a
plea of nolo contendre to charge Of
idle and disord1y conduct, and the
taking of testimony from several
states witnesses was In the effort to
determine the circumstances which
prompted the young man to go on the

threat and the things which lead UP
to it, Judge Cony ordered Groom to
furnish q bond in the sum of $500 to
keep the peace for six months.

Quoted by Carl F. Fellows. a law stu
dent in the Office Of Andrews, Nelson

vitation OF the court. Mr.. Fellows
handled his direct and cross examin-
atoms Of the witnesses in a mastery

before. webster said that he told his
companion guide that he wouldn't
shoot a man but I'd kick HI out OF
him."

guides who were personally ac-
ouainted with both respondent and
complainant, and Mr.. Meservey. clerk
at the Beane tackle store. told OF
their knowledge of the affair. All
witnesses declared that for the most
part Groom was peaceable sort OF
fellow, ready to work whenever there
was an opportunity.

own defense and told the court that
on last Thursday evening he returned
from guiding a party and found his
wife in the moving picture theatre.
After they reached their home. she
told him that McGaffey had insulted
her and in his anger he took rifle
and went in search of the man. Lat

United States Leads the World
In Air Mail Service

The recent rapid development and
expansion of the United states Air
Mail has made this country the lead :
ing nation of the world in this par
ticular branch of aviation, according
to Edward Z. Warner, Professor OF
Aeronautical Engineering, Massa :
chusetts Institute of Technology, in
an article in the Current History
Magazine. Europe, Professor Warn
er observes, has specialized in pas
senger AIR transportation. Across
Europe stretches network of ali
services. Most of these lines fall
into the tourist class, and the most
popular of them do IS per cent OF
their business for the year in the six
months of Summer, and receive hall
of their patronage from Americans in
search of a new experience" AS re-
CARDS air mail, however. Europe has
done little BECAUSE 1.-The distances
between the major capitals are toe
short and the existing means OF
transport too good"
Professor Warner offers some sur
prising figures regarding air-mail
development in the United States
THE service, operated directly by
the Postoffice Department, he
writes, has already entered its
eighth year; furthermore. the air
mileage with mail will have ex-
ceeded 100000 by the end OF
August. 1925, and is being increased
by about 100000 each month. Some
1000 tons of mail have been car
RED"
The author finds that despite the
splendid record of the air mail,
progress in the United States toward
the establishment of system OF
commercial airways has been SLOW.
