NAVY PREPARED
FOR PROMOTION
OF SEA FLYING
Withdraws Help From Stunt
Aviators in Land Planes;
Cites Own Feats.
BY hyBSERT LITTLE
United Press stan Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Sept. lO.-The
United States Navy after doing its
utmost to prevent further ocean
fights In land planes, must assume
the promotion of water-hying, COM
mercial and military. flying men said
today.
Navy aviation experts informed
the United Press the Navy Is pre-
pared for the job. and already has
under operation or construction
three types of long-distance flying
boats. For power, it is turning to
air-cooled motors, providing more
power with less weight, In expecta-
ton Of developing a machine to
carry enough gasoline, in addition
to useful loads Of passengers or
bombs, over the. Lindbergh and
Maitland Eegenberger routes, and
farther.
Rear Admiral w. A. Moffett, naval
aviation chief, informed the United
Press that the Navy is replacing
water-c cooled motors with air-cooled
engines on its three PN-10 boats,
and that twenty more of the type
will be ordered If the experiment
succeeds.
Use All-Metal Construction
In addition, PN-11, with many
refinements over the present Pm
flying, boats. including two or three
newly designed air<coo.ed motors of
more than 500 horse power each, is
being built now for test flights next
year.
A flying boat monoplane, the first
large American flying boat to devil
ate from the biplane model, which
also will have air-cooled motors of
great power. is being planned by
the Navy men.
All-metal construction will be
tried on some of the new ships.
When these planes are completed,
some of the qualifying tests prob
ably will carry them into the realms
of long distance flying in real safe
ty, in contrast to the precarious
fights and frequent tragedies of
1927, Moffett said.
Stand Against Stunt Flying
THE Navy has flown the At
lantic; it flew nearly to Hawaii; it
flew to Panama, and it makes regu-
lar flights over the ocean from
Panama to San Diego; and all with
out losing life," Moffett said.
Moffett said the Navy is having
bombers built in San Diego which
could fly to Hawaii in comparative
safety.
The Nays stand against civilian
stunt-f1ying by land planes over
water was made in revoking leaves
of absence granted Lieut.. L. W.
Curtin and Ensign s. v. Edwards
to go with Capt. Rene Fonck to
Paris in his bi-motored Sikorsky
land plane, and in refusing to send
Navy ships to Oriental waters to
safeguard the Schlee-Br around
the-world plane during its hops
from Toxic to the United States.
Acting Secretary of Navy T.
Douglas Robinson advised Fonck of
a new Navy policy against such
leaves for this purpose in the future.

BIZ NEA SerUice
KANSAS CITY, Sept. 10.-A mys-
ferrous poisoner, who roams the city
unseen and strikes in uncanny, hid
den fashion at little children, is at
large in Kansas City.
Mothers are having gift candy
closely analysed before they allow
their children to eat it.
Refreshments at parties are in
many cases confined to articles that
are not unwrapped from the time
they are made up at the confec-
TONERS until ready to serve.
Even fruit from trees growing in
back yards is looked upon with sus-
picion.
Seek Crazed Woman
All of this is because someone
woman, it is believed, mentally
unbalanced by some strange hatred
of i children-has been going about
the city trying to put into execu-
ton a wholesale poisoning scheme.
Eleven persons, most of them
children, thus far have been made
i'll by the poisons. Either because
the poison doses were to small or
because none of the victims ate
enough to meet with serious effects,
there have been do deaths.
But fear grips the city.
Most of the poisoning cases havS
been confined to the exclusive resi-
dental district in the vicinity of
Thirty Ninth st. and Agnes Ave.
But mothers all over the city are
taking precautions. .h
Candy Makes Four Ill
The mysterious trouble started at
the home of Mr.. and Mrs. Fred
Rainier, where the four children
found a nicely packed box of candy
lying in the yard.
They ate part of it, and shortly
afterward became seriously i'll. A
physician was called and saved
their lives; then Mrs. Rainier had
police analyze the candy.
In it were found poisoned grains
OF wheat, such as drug stores sell
for the eradication of rats.
A few days later Miss Catherine
DillS gave a party to the girls Of
her Sunday school class. During
the party a messenger boy delivered
a box of candy. Miss Dills, suppos-
ing that one of her guests had had
the candy delivered, served 1t. Five
girls ate of it and became very sick.
Boy Is Poisoned
A little later Jackie Comstock,
aged 5, found a package of candy
lying in his little wagon in the
front yard. He ate it and became
sick.
Then Mrs. r. P. Noel picked up
some pears which had fallen to the
ground from a pear tree in her back
yard, Shortly after eating them
she fell ill and had to call a doc
tor. Examination proved that the
pears had been poisoned.
Wives have been receiving anony-
nous telephone calls telling them
that their husbands were out with
blond stenographers. There was
discord in a number of homes-until
one day woman received such a
call while her husband was at home
with her.
Woman Is Suspected
Residents of the neighborhood
where most of the poisonings have
occurred have demanded the arrest
of a certain woman living on one
of I their streets-a woman who
seems to be possessed of an intense
dislike of children.
But to date the police have Moth
ing to connect this woman with the
poisonings.
And meanwhile-the terror of the
mysterious poisoner remains.
