Washington, Sept. 2I.-Ths
amount of equipment of the Amer.
'can army air service is inadequaR~.
but "a controlled by funds which
are available. Acting Secretary Of
War Davis testified TODAY beform
the presidents air board. He said
he welcomed the inquiry and woulS
offer the fullest cooperation.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 22.-From
aviation's super-enthusiasts comAs
the complaint that only one MEM
Der of President COolidge's board
OF air inquiry-Senator Bingham
Oh Connecticut-is man Of actual
World War flying experience.
Bingham had it, as commander
Of Americas biggest aviation field
ID Europe during the world con.
fIict.
This isn't supposed to be a
board hand-picked to declare for
all the super-enthusiasts' conten-
lions. Impartial consideration n
what's desired from it.
The further complaint is made
that Bingham is on recordd as con-
sidering Col. MitchelI's aviation
claims exaggerated. SO be it. Aren't
the conservatives entitled to repre-
sentation on the board, as wen al
the radicals?
The latter are represented, too.
Representative Vinson of Georgia
fought hard at the last session Of
Congress for all they demanded.
James G. Hartford and Rear Ad-
miral Fletcher, the army and navy
members of the board, are retired,
it's worth noting. Nobody will have
any strings on them, to influence
them in reaching their conclusions.
President W. F. Durand of the
Institute of Mechanical Engineers
Is the strictly scientific and Presi-
dent H. e. Coffin of National Air
Transport, Inc, is the pre-eminent-
ly practical member Of the commits
sion.
Dwight W. Morrow Of J. P. Nor
gan & Co., is the business man..
Congressman Parker Of New York
is the civilian aviation specialist and
Federal Judge Denison of Grand
Rapids gives the calm, judicial touch
to the investigation.
On paper, at least, It looks like
a well-rounded body, competent and
fairly representative Of all the diff
ferent interests. But it will have
to hurry to finish its work, just
started, before Congress meets.
It's safe to predict that the In
quiry will reveal many deficiencies
in American aviation. Due to what
the investigators may be expected
to ask. To the lack Of a separate
department to develop
the service, such authorities as Col.
Mitchell viii be sure to answer.

Pcking, March i2.-tBy \. ~
rSD.un Vat Sen. the South China

ing.
Surgeons who operated on DR. Sun
at the Rockefeller Hospital here on
Jan. &c declared his case was hope

however, the ten days passing, lcav-
ing him weaker but still alive.
On Feb is, against the advice of
the hospital authorities, DIR. Sun was
removed by friends and political as
sociates to the headquarters Of the
kuomintangs at the former residence
Of Wellington HOO. former foreign
minister. 1t was there that he died.
DR.. Sun Vat Son for some time had
been suffering from cancer of the
liver, and in December was operated
on in an effort to proloug, if not save
his life. After the operation it was
declared his condition was critical and
there was no hope for his recovery.
The daily bulletins issued by his
physicians had shown that DR.. Sun
was growing weaker and Wednesday
night it was declared he had taken a
turn for the worse. lie refused to ac-
cept food and friends had expressed
the fear that death was near.
As the southern leader yesterday
was slowly passing into his final
sleep, his headquarters in Canton an
nounced that his troops had occupied
Swatow, in the province of Kwang-
tung, whence all the rebel leaders
were said to have fled without giving
battle.

C0NY MEETS MORSE.
HERE FOR ONE LAST
\ TWO GAMES OF YEAR

The unusual condition of preliml-
nary practice for a spring sport be-
ing held at the same time that reg
ular practice for a winter sport is
under way now prevails at Cony high
school. While the Cony basketball
squad is practicing, under Coach
Comedian for the last two games OF
their schedule, the preliminary prac-
tice for the baseball season is being
conducted by Coach Morrell.
There are a number of men on the
basketball squad who will join the
baseball squad as soon as the bas-
ketball season is completed but until
then they will continue with their
practice for the two hard games
ahead Of them. The first of these is
with the Morse high quintet at CITY
Hall Saturday night and the second
with Jordan High Of Lewiston the
following week.
without a doubt Morse high will
work her hardest to redeem herself
on the local court this week end,
with the whipping they received at
the hands OF the Capital City fve al
Bath a few weeks ago fresh In their
minds. AS Cony has discovered in
the past, Morse high is no mean OPP
ponent and they realize they must
trot out their best brand of basket
ball if they hope to send the ship
ping city lads home on the short end
of the sore.
As the 1925 basketball season
draws to a close Cony is anxious to
sail into the home port with coiors
flying, as they have shown by their
straight wins in the, last few games
played. It is true that the first OF
the voyage proved a bit stormy and
the crew were blown a bit off then
course but with the recent calm. the
course has again been Strengthened
and the squad has a record on theil
voyage they should in no way bf
ashamed of. Coach Comedian has
piloted the team along in a ship
shape way for the whole season anc
has moulded into a fast team What
seemed a very mediocre outfit at the
outset.
This game will feature the week.

and to make the game doubly at
