The hand of fate fell heavily on
the shoulders of Charles Stewart last
week when the senate. sitting as
Jurors in the impeachment proceed
ings against the gray-haired veteran
of many successful political battles,
rendered a verdict of guilty and re-
moved him from the office of secre-
tary of state.
The damaging testimony against
Mr.. Stewart was based on the charge
of accepting money from the state

terested while at the time serving
as an officer of the state.

Representation. which gives us the
right to elect by secret ballot from
among ourselves representatives OF
our choice who will represent us
on the local and general commit
tees. and also on the Bureau OF In
dustrial Relations. the court OF last
resort In the adjudication and set
Element OF grievances or disputes.
Under this plan we have also ex-
ercised the right OF selecting from
among our own number, through
special secret ballot, delegates to
represent us In negotiating to inn
prove wages and working conditions
by collective bargaining through con-
ferenees with representatives or the
management.
So we have achieved our purpose
of obtaining recognition OF our
group and of establishing our right
TO collective bargaining. and we
have accomplished this through the
Plan OF Employe Representation
without disrupting friendly and CO.
operative relations between the COM
pany and its employees; thus solving
the greatest problem with which the
Negroes employed by the Pullman
| Company were confronted.
Our first applications for gen.
eral conference to negotiate revi.
sions OF wage rates and working
conditions were made in December
1888. AS result of these petit
tons. the management increased oui
wages per cent, effective February
In, 1924, and then agreed to NEE
our chosen representatives In con
terence on revision of rules. Thi'
conference covered period of abou
two weeks in March. 1924, and cul
minated in an agreement which be
came effective April /. 1924. undel
which we not only obtained man!
improvements in working condl
tons, but also the increase of
per cent effective February /, 1924
was amplifie1 by a further increas'
of per cent. SO that 1t was finall,
rounded out to IL per cent increas,
IN and after April !. 1924.
The social general conference I'm
der the Plan of Employe Represen
tation was held in February, 1926
and resulted In three additional i'm
7ortant improvements in our work
ing conditions and further inereas
n wages OF 3 per cent, effectiv
February Is. 1926.
Now every porter knows that non
of us ever received any increase Il

been the beneficiaries of increase
in wages of over 20 per cent an
very substantial improvements l
working conditions during a perio
of less than three years.
These facts speak for themselvC

During the World War Davis was
on the staff of Rear Admiral Joseph
Strauss and was one of his principal
assistants in laying the mine barrgs
lcross the North Sea, one of the out

Resigned From Navy.
Upon Comdr.s Davis return to the
United States he resigned from the
Navy. Meanwhile, however, he had
become interested in aeronautics and
qualified as a naval aviator. He ac-
cepted commission in the Naval Re-
serve and affiliated himself with the
Squantum, Mass, Naval Reserve unit.
As the result Of his success in or
ganizing the Squantum unit he was
ordered to duty in the Navy Depart
ment and then formulated his plan
for the transatlantic flight. schooling
himself in aerial navigation in order
that he might be proficient in that
line.
At Davis request the War Depart.
ment released one of its giant bomb
ing planes for his use. He named 1t
the American Legion and the ship was
christened at Mitchell Field by Mrs.
Noel Davis. 1t was this craft which
crashed today with fatal results.

ACCIDENTS DOG ATTEMPTS.
Fonch and Byrd Mishaps Figured in
Efforts for Hop.

NEW YORK, April 26 (P).-The
death Of Comdr Noel Davis in Vir-
ginia today marked the second tragedy
in the proposed New -to-Paris
nonstop flight The first effort ended
last Fall when Capt. Rene Fonck' s
giant plane was burned at Roosevelt
Field a moment after he had taken
off for Paris, causing the deaths of
Charles w. Clavier, the radio operator,
and Jacob Islamoff, the mechanic. The
famous French ace himself escaped
injury.
1t was a coincidence that Comdr.
Davis was himself an entrant for the
flight last Fall, but Cancelled his plans.
Byrd Accident Recalled.
Another entrant for the transatlan'
tic hop figured in an airplane accident
at Hasbrouck Heights, n. j., on April
16-Comdr. Richard f. Byrd, the first
man to fly over the North Pole, when
his monoplane America" turned over,
injuring the commander, Floyd Ben
nett, his pilot, and George o. Neville,
radio man. Byrd. Bennett and Neville
were taken to hospitals. The plane
was not badly damaged. however, and
the repairs are now being made on u
preparatory to the flight.
Last Sunday still another plane
which plans TO make the big hop
across the ocean figured in an acci'
dent. 1t was the Bellanea monoplane.
which recently established a world
endurance record over Mineola, with
Bert Acosta and Clarence d. Chamber
lin as pilots.
Slxillful Flying Saves.
Chamberlin, with two little girls as
passengers, brought his craft to earth
safely by skillful flying after the plane
had suffered a broken strut as 1t left
the ground on it's first flight after
the formal christening. Chamberlin
held a crowd of 5000 persons at Cur
tiss Field in breathless suspense for
an hour or more before he nego-
tiated the difficult task of landing
without injury.
The Bellanca plane Is now under
going repairs for the flight.
Charles A. Levine, chairman of the
board of directors OF the Columbia Air
craft Corporation, sponsors of the
proposed flight of the Bellanca mono
plane, when informed of the death of
Comdr. Davis, said:
"A tragic fate has eliminated an
other gallant attempt to cross the At
lantic. While the plans will proceed
with the Bellanca plane, the sporting
spirit has been removed because of
the fact that we have lost Davis. And
Comdr. Byrds plane. the America, has
been practically eliminated"

Light Partly P0larized.

Unlike direct sunlight, the light
from the moon is partly polarized by
reflection on the moons surface, and
by determining the degree of polari-
cation it is possible to learn some.
thing of the nature of the rejecting
surface.
At different phases of the moon the
light is reflected to the earth at diff
ferent angles, and by comparing with
it the polarization of light reflected
from earthly rock surfaces DIR. Wright
has found that rocks containing large
amounts of silica, such as pumice,
granite, quartzporphyry. as we'll as
sulphur and powders of transparent
substances. .polarize light reflected
from their surfaces much in the same
way as the moon does. But basalt, a
rock due to volcanic causes, affects
the light quite differently.

Not Theoretically Overloaded.

Specifications of the Pathfinder type
plane in which the men met death
were examined here after news of the
accident was received. Mechanics ex-
pressed the opinion that the plane was
not theoretically overloaded. The spec
ifications showed it to have a wing
load capacity of 141a pounds to the
square foot. 1t had a lifting capacity
of &c pounds per horsepower un's.
The Sikorsky plane, in which two
men were killed here last FALL had
wing load capacity of 26 pounds per
square foot.
The general opinion expressed was
that the crash was due to other causes
than overlooking.

Describes Moons Surface.

The studies Of DIR. f. e Wright Of
the Geophysical Laboratory of the
Carnegie Institution of Washington,
which he described, Indicate that the
surface cf the moon consists of such
rock as pumice and granite, with no
basalt. And as basalt is almost In
variably associated with volcanic ac-
tivity as far as is known, this is
rather a jolt to the theory that the
moon was once the scene of vast vol
canic activity, producing the craters
that are susl a familiar feature of
its surface.
DIR. Wright is a member of a joint
committee Of astronomers, geologists
and geophysicists of the Carnegie In
stitution that is investigating the
moon. His study was made by the
use of polariZed light. Ordinary light
waves vibrate up and down and left

passed through a special prism, or re.
fiected at certain angles. are reduced
