PACIFIC OCEAN NEXT
Everything Points to AviatOrs 'Mak- ing Determined Assault On This Expansc of Water.

San Francisco. May 26 (P - h. .,ications that the Pacific ocean next will be challenged by long distance aviators seeking gold and glory ap- peared more in evidence today as two money offers for trans-oceanic flights were dangled before all air adventurers who care to take the chance.
 Close upon an announcement in Honolulu yesterday by James D. Dole. president of the Hawaiian Pineapple company, that he would give s35, 900 to the first two aviators 10 fly from the North American coast to Honolulu, came word from Los Angeles that Sid Grammar. wealthy iHollywo ood theater owner, offered s3o,o00 for a nonstop flight from Los Angeles to Tokyo.
 While the Dole flight proposal of- fers a stretch of water nearly 400 miles longer than the distance from Newfoundland 10 Ireland as covered by Captain Charles \. Lindbergh on his New York-Paris dash the Los Tokyo project would call for a flight of 5000 miles.
 Grammar declared he had been ad- vised by Donald Douglas, head of the Douglas Aircraft corporation, that a 5000 mile hop was entirely feasible, and had accordingly provided for the prize on that basis. instead of making it two flight matter-Los Angeles to Honolulu and Honolulu to Tokyo.
 Arrangements for the Pacific st-Honolulu flight got under way in the islands forthwith when the Honolulu chapter of the National Aeronautic association took charge of the details at that end.

CIVILIAN PLIERS,
 HAVE GOOD YEAR
No British Commercial kYiatorS Killed
By KEITH JONES

Limited Press Staff Correspondent
 London. May 3S UP)-Contrast- ing with England's military aviation role of S2 flyers killed in air crashes, in 1926. the record of the progress of civil aviation from April to Decem- Der, just, published by the air min istry, shows that the Imperial Air ways. Ltd, during this period car ried 16.775 passengers and flew 132,- eso miles without the death of a single passenger or airman.
 In addition 46,00o miles were flown on special flights also without any deaths or injuries Thus for the second year British civil aircraft had completed their work without any accidents resulting in death or injury. Up to date the Imperial Airways, Ltd, have flown 5.27l,00o miles with the deaths of only four passengers. There were however two serious ac- cidents to French aircraft flying on tho London-Paris route.
 The most noticeable tendency in British aircraft construction, the re- port notes, is the increase in the en- zine power available per passenger in the airplanes. This increase in horsepower, however. has been brought about simultaneously with a decrease in the weight per horse power of the engines. and as con- sequence passengers are given the extra measure of safety that comes from a reserve engine power for use in emergencies. At the same time a reserve engine power enables ma- chimes to be flown on their normal schedules without taxing the capacity of the engine to it's utmost, thus making for greater reliability in en- zine performance.
 The report also recounts British accomplishments in aerial surveys in Africa, and in the use of airplanes in spraying crops with insecticide. It also records Sir Alan Cobham's bril- liant flight from England to Aus tralia and back.

 Wellman stoutly denied any con- nection with the murder and assert ed he had been on a fishing trip with Jones Friday The authorities then turned their attention to Jones whose story of the trip presented certain discrepancies that resulted in renewed questioning. He at first disclaimed but finally confessed complicity in the murder, Clyde said. whereupon the party returned to the jail and after further tnterro- gation Wellman, too, admitted the killing.
 Jones in his confession said had been persuaded to accompany We'll man to "get some money" that they had driven~to Wentworth's home where both had engaged him in conversation and that while the farmer was looking down Wellman had struck him on the head with a
