CHICAGO, Sept. 20.-Two great
air races centered in Chicago to-
day with the last plane q. the Glass
B contest in the New York Spokane
air derby arriving at Cicero air.
field here just as the first plane in
the Class A race, which had ar
rived few minutes earlier, took off
for st. Paul.
The first tragedy of the rare
marred the second day. A Buhl
Airster, piloted by Richard Hudson,
Maysville. Mich, and carry as a
passenger j. Radke of st. Clair.
Mich, fell into tree near Norris
town, N. j. Both men were killed.
Weather Is Cooler
The Class B planes left New
York yesterday morning and the
Glass A craft today, the latter
stopping only once, at Cleveland, en-
route.
Stiff head winds and cold
weather hampered the fliers and al
most every landing at the airfield
was a stunt drop, with the planes
aideSlipping and banking to get onto
The runways.
Laird Plane in Lead
Plane No. 6, a Laird piIoted by
Irving Ballough of Chicago and
carrying G. D. Dickinson and a
mechanic, was the first of the Glass
A craft to arrive.
1t landed at 11:10 and left at i1:18
No. 4, Laird piloted by G. H. Hol-
man, st. Paul, and carrying Thomas
Lane, st. Paul, came in at I1:24 and
left at 1871.
In between came No. 81, Class B,
Pitcairn, piloted by A. VI. Banks,
with William Welsh as passenger. It
arrived at 1I:18 and left at 1927. A
few minutes earlier No. 81, a
Monocoup piloted by Verne Roberts,
had left. 1t arrived at 1854 and
left at IL.
Altogether, ten Glass B planes
arrived here today, and eight of
them took off again for ST. Paul in
the wake of twelve others which
arrived last night and left shortly
after $50 a. m. today. Two of the
planes withdrew.
The status Of the racers was in
doubt because only actual flying
time counts, and the official records
of the time in the air had not been
compiled.
The weather over the Middlewest
was uncomfortably cold for flying,
and in Minnesota the sting of early
frost was in the air. Many pilots
and passengers bought and bor-
rowed extra clothes at the air fields
where they stopped.

Frost Due Here TONIGHT

A light frost is predicted tonight
for Indianapolis and vicinity and
central and northern Indiana by
]. H. Arlington, United States
Weather Bureau head.
The frost probably will occur only
In low places and will not cause ap-
preciable damage, Arlington said.

the heat wave Sunday will continue
at least through Wednesday, al
though it will be somewhat warm
er by Wednesday night, Arlington

Coal Prices to Climb
AS chilly weather comes, Indian
apolis coal prices are going up.
Maybe not for a week, or two, or
possibly bit longer-all depending
on the antics of the thermometer
and the eagerness of the public to
put in its belated winter coal supply.
On ore thing dealers agree. When
they go to the mines to buy coal to
replace stocks now in their bins.
they must pay q higher price.
Pocahontas prices at the mines
have increased, some declared from
81 to as much as $1.25 a ton since
a month ago, when dealers present
stocks we're laid in.
Indianapolis prices, right now,
are behind most other Middlewest-
ern cities" one dealer said. "Om,
price now is $8.75, while Chicago
dealers are getting from $40 to
$l0.50. In Dayton, Ohio. the price
is $780,"
Public Slow TO Buy
"The public has been slow In fill
ing up bins for winter" observed
another dealer, whose testimony
agreed with the majority.
Only a few dealers report busi-
ness during late summer the equal
Of former years.
City heat, for the residential dis
trict at the north fringe of the busi-
ness district, was turned on Mon
day, officials Of the Indianapolis
Power and Light Company said.
This is hot water system, supplied
from the plant at Sixteenth and
Alabama Sts.
The power company's steam heat
to the mile-square downtown busi-
ness district will not be turned on

EXTRA SESSION
No Occasion for Call, in
Presidents View.

BIZ United Press
WASHINGTON, Sept. 20.--Presi-
dent Coolidge has abandoned any
idea of calling a special session of
Congress as a whole or Of the Sen
ate alone, it was announced Off
cially at the White House today. He
has decided there is no occasion for
special session.
He believes that sufficient money
to care for flood relief will be avail
able until Jan. /. The Army engi-
neers will be unable to complete
their investigation of food control
problems until Nov. Is.
Mr.. Coolidge is advised that the
Senate will take up purely sena-
torial matters, including its election
contest cases, as soon as the general
Congress convenes in December.
BY the time the Christmas recess
is concluded, the President expects
these matters will have been dis
posed of, and that flood legislation
and perhaps a tax reduction bill
may have been passed by the House
for final action in the Senate.

NO PERIL TO TAX CUT
$40, 600, 900 Yearly Needed

WASHINGTON, Sept. 2o.-Fed-

Hoover estimated $20,0o0,000 to

would be needed in addition to the

A definite flood relief program,
however, cannot be krown till the

Hoover said it probably would be
necessary for the State emergency

their operations into next year.
