The MadduX organization has
scheduled as q regular part of its
passenger service an air trip over
the Grand canyon and other gorgeous
scenic wonders from Phoenix to Los
Angeles. They will take passengers
from Phoenix over the air scenic
route and land them in Los Angeles
ahead Of the trains they might have
made the trip on.
To give an idea of the time saving
features Of the passenger service by
air it is estimated that one may
take a plane at Los Angeles and
arrive in Dallas, Texas, in IA hours
and 25 minutes, while the train service
over the same distance takes SIS hours
and SO minutes. The air service will
charge approximately double, the
amount the railways charge, which
is considered by Mr.. Buxton to pe
very reasonable rate in consider

tance between Los Angeles and Dallas

FRUIT SHIPPERS

AUSTIN Texas, Sept IA, R-
Guarding against what he considers
the dangerous menace" of the
Mexican fruit fly to the entire Texas
citrus industry, state commissioner
of agriculture, today placed one Of
the most drastic quarantines in the
history of the state around Cameron,
Hidalgo and Willacy counties.
Under the terms of the proclama-
ton all citrus fruit in the three
counties remaining on trees after
March l must be destroyed. All trees
others than those bearing citrus are
ordered cut down Immediately, Com
missioner Terrell said.
Growers, however, will be allowed
to ship uninfested fruit with only
customary inspection.
Commissioner Terrell said the de-
struction of the non-citrus fruit
bearing trees will not be relatively
costly as they are comparatively few
in number.

to serve them and that if this city
does not take advantage Of the op-
portunity to get onto a main line
at the very start it will be much
harder later on to secure a change
in the running schedules.
Buxton, as the representative OF
the Douglas Chamber Of Commerce
and Mines, will present his findings
to that body at a meeting to be helc

urge the imperative need for i'm

ment has been reached by which the
municipality of Aqua Prieta is to

mile which has been arranged ror
north of the border for the great

is now necessary is that this land
be cleared and leveled and the proper
lights and other equipment set up.
In connection with the possibilities
of the field here Charles H. Babb
British war ace and secretary OF the
National Aeronautic association for
southern California, had the follow
ing TO say in an interview with
Buxton:

Realization that an attempt to fly

Godfrey, Philadelphia heavyweight

Monte Mum, former Nebraska leg
islator in two minutes and 20 sec
onds in the fourth round of their 12-
round fight tonight at Ebbets field,
Brooklyn.
Referee Lou Magnolia stopped the
bout with Mum hanging on, groggy
and helpless. Mum was outclaSSed
from the start, landing only a few
blows and those without any great
force.
In the third round he went down
for a count of nine and after getting
up again was in great distress. The
bell saved him.
Mum came out in the fourth to
face the hopeless task Of beating a
man who was fresh and more expert
enced. He took severe drubbing,
his nose bleeding and his arms hang
ing futilely at his sides.
Godfrey trailed his man to the end,
pummelling him without cessation.
Mum was outweighted II pounds. He
tipped the beam at 21115 and Godfrey
22815.
In the seni-final, six-rounder set
back to permit the main bout to start

both of New York, fought to draw.
Morosco weighed 1852 and Barba

TOKYO, Sept. ID R)-The flight
of the world encircling monoplane
Pride of Detroit toward the patch of
coral sand known as Midway island,
2,480 miles out in the Pacific ocean,
was definitely set today by the flierS
to begin Friday.
Smilingly confident that they would
safely make the flight to Midway, de-
spite warnings of Japanese aviators
and the cabled pleas of friends to
abandon the project, Pilots Edward
! F. Schlee and William S. Brock as
serted that if they failed to find the
island they would continue on l,44O
miles to honolulu
The $50 gallons of gasoline which
their plane would cary5, the avzAvors
asserted, would be sufficient to drive
the machine from the Kasumigaura
field near Tokyo to Honolulu, approx
imately 1000 miles. For luck, Schlee
said he would carry a rabbits foot,
which he exhibited. For food, the
fliers will carry sandwiches and a
bottle of coffee.
Asserting that flying over water
was no more dangerous than flying
over land, the Americans said they
had no fear of getting off their course.
They would not depend wholly upon
their compass, but would figure reck-
oning by what they called lines OF
sunset and sunrise"
The flight, said Schlee, did not mean
certain death, He said ut means
either death or life"
If the Pride of Detroit makes the
248O mile flight to Midway, and sue
/ ceeds in taking off from the sand, 1t
will have as it's next objective Homo
lulu, LAO miles, whence another long
flight of 24O0 miles to San Francisco
is in prospect. The Pacific between
Japan and the California coast, 6,5zO
miles along the proposed course, IS
broken only by few coral islets and
the Hawaiian group, itself unlmpres-
sive in the vast waste of water.
A problem giving the fliers some
concern was the reported lack OF 1uel
at Midway for their plane. Gasoline
and oil which they had expected TO
arrive at the mid Pacific cable sta
ton had not arrived, said reports
today, and the large amount their
plane would need could not pe DO
tained until the supply ship arrived
at the end of this month, unless
dispatched by special Ship. However
Brock and Schlee asserted the ability
OF their plane to make the long flight
without refueling at Midway.
Brock and Schlee brought their air
plane to land at the Kasumigaura
field, As miles northeast of Tokyo
this afternoon after 600 mile flight

They had been held up at Omura

safety the 22,O67 mile air journey
around the world to Harbor Grace,
N. F. To reach Kasun1igaura the
