hoaxed anybody with reference to
the packing case alleged to contain
the body of the late Lord Kitchener,
which was found empty yesterday.
That someone tempered with the

Power in the interview attributed 10
him by the Star. The paper quotes
Power as saying concerning the
empty shell inside the casket: ut
obviously cannot be the shell which
contained the body and which ]
placed in the coffin in Norway
Power, with his wife, returned
from Portsmouth at noon today. He
visited Scotland Yard but what took
place has not been divulged.

Auto Has Failed
To Displace Use
Of Bicycle in u. S.

new 7 DIRK, Aug. 17.-(P)-Human
legs remain worthy competitors of
gasoline as propulsion power for
wheeled travel in America.
The humble bicycle, which reached
the zenith of popularity in 1897, not
only still holds an important place
IN every day transportation of
Americans but has staged tremend-
Gus revival in racing sports, say Of
hcials of the Cycle Trades of
America.
These officials predict that with in
creasing Congestion of traffic caused
by automobiles, the bicycle is destin-
ed to assume still greater Importance
in travel.
1t is estimated there are now O.
100000 bicycles in the United States.
y Department of Commerce report
showed that 2S7,000 were manufac-
tured in 1925, but manufacturers say
these figures were incomplete and
that many more were turned out.
y modern version of the ancient
fable of the tortoise and hare is seen
by the cycle experts in the relations
of bicycles and automobiles. The
ability of the bicycle-the pedalled
"tortoise''-to thread in and out of
lines of traffic enables it to overtake
the automobile-the motored hare"
and in many instances to make bet
ter time, they assert.
Another advantage favoring the
bicycle is the survival'in the average
modern youth of desire to possess a
bike at some time in his young life.
More than 100000 pupils in its 500
schools throughout the country have
been instructed in the use of the
bicycle by a field force maintained
by the Cycle Trades organization.
Rules for safety are stressed, and
the annual report of the organization
for the past year, stated that there
are fewer accidents among children
riding to or from schools on bikes,
than among those who walk. StatiSt-
les on bike accidents. in fact, shows
them to be the lowest in percentage
of any vehicular accidents.
The center of the bike population
is given as the Middle Atlantic
states. Working people in New Eng
land, in particular, use the Two
wheeled conveyance to good adVan-
tage in travelling to and from work,
At least 100000 of the bicycle
riders in the country now are girls,
it is reported.
Chicago, specially. has seen an in
crease in bicycle racing. More IMAM
40 states have held elimination trials
tn qualify riders for the sixth annual
championship races which the ANA
teur Bicycle League of America win
hold at the sesqui- centennial EXPOSE
tion at Philadelphia from SEPTEMBER

and 80 minutes after they had left
Burlington, Vt. They left that place
at 4:45 o'clock and reached here at
6:15. They were delayed by low
hanging clouds and mist over the
White Mountains, which obliged them
to seek a way over the lower peaks
as the high ones reached up into the
clouds. Arriving at the field they
had little difficulty landing because
of the speed of their plane a DeHavi-
lana machine with a $50 horsepower
motor. Today if conditions are right
for flying they will take the officers
of the 152nd +. A. who desire to make
the trip. on a flight over Sidney Bog,
where they may observe the work of
the firing battery.
Battery c.. hampered by low WISH
bility Tuesday morning, did not finish
their range practice until the middle
of the afternoon and Battery B. at
once moved in. to commence their
range work. They fired several pro-
blems with shrapnel before they were
obliged to return to the camp and to-
day they will finish with the shrapnel
and will clean up their few problems
with high explosive shells. AS soon
as they are done Battery A. will
commence. The Headquarters bat
terry is maintaining the communica-
ton lines between the batteries and
the outposts and Observation Post
throughout the range work. The
batteries not on the range are occu-
pied with regular routine work at the
camp.

Says Mexico to
Ask ExtraditiOn
OF Leader Estrada
