In Cellar Hangar

MELBOURNE, Australia, July
25.-Stanley Bruce, premier of
Australia, one of the latest private
owners of an airplane, has intro.
duced an innovation in the form of
a hangar in the cellar of his house,
similar to a garage, for storing his
plane.
He expects to use his flying bus

has proved the new material TO be
entirely satisfactory, and, it Is be-
believed the best developed today.
After working out several details
which had previously caused some
trouble the plane went up this
morning for a complete test of all
its component parts. +.....
I arose at 4 so o'clock, and deter
mined that the weather conditions
were favorable for the high altitude
test flight. For this purpose it was
necessary to have day on which
the sky was practically free of cloud
formation in the vicinity of the field.
At high altitude the landmarks are
not easy to distinguish, even in
weather which appears perfectly
clear from the ground. This is due
TO the fact that the layers of vapor
and dust-bearing air near the ground
reflect the sunlight to such an extent
that objects on the ground are
blurred and many of them totally
obscured.
When there are any clouds at an
altitude through which one must
pass, these clouds, while they may
appear dark from below. reflect the

By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, July 25.-New York
today prepared to face tie-up of its
subway and elevated lines as re-
suit of the threat of a strike at mid
night tomorrow.
Emergency conveyance measures
were worked out by city officials. The
Interborough Rapid Transit Co., the
Brooklyn Manhattan Transit Co. and
the Brooklyn City Railroad Co.
against which the strike will be di
rected, arranged to keep their lines
open with strike-breakers if necessary

engaged, commissary supplies stored
and cots transported to temporary
lodgings. Some newspapers said to
day that strike-breakers had already
arrived, but this the officials Of tilt
company denied.
Strike Call Expected.
The situation arises from efforts OF
the Amalgamated Association OF
Street and Electric Railway EN-
ployes to unionize the employees who
now are members Of company unions
The strike call is expected after an
Amalgamated meeting tomorrow night
Mayor Walker, whose previous efforts
to avert a tie-up have been frustrated
by refusal of the heads of the transit
companies to meet with the union Of
ficials, invited the opposing interests tc
meet with him tomorrow.
Between Is 900 and $4,000 men would
be affected by complete walkout OF
the three companies, two of which
operate all the elevated and subway
systems in New York and Brooklyn
and the third, the Brooklyn City Rail
road Co., operates surface car sys
tenn in Brooklyn.
Predicts Tie-Up.
James III. Coleman, organizer of the
Amalgamated, said when the strike
call comes it will be 100-per cent tie
up"
Transit company officials said that
the number of Amalgamated men tr
their employ was negligible.

POLICE SEEK FLYER
FOR RECKLESSNESS
Stunt Aviator Accused of En-
dangering Lives in North
west Section.

While two separate" Investigations
were under way today to determine
the identity of the aviator who terri
fed residents of homes and apartments
in the vicinity of Sixteenth street and
Columbia road by flying low over
dwellings, in the neighborhood yester-
day afternoon, Commerce Depart
ment officials made it plain that
prompt disciplinary action will be
taken in this case. Assistant Secre-
tary of Commerce MacCracken assign
ed one of his aids to make an inquiry
into the matter today, aroused by re-
ports that residents of the neighbor-
hood, in addition to the aviator him
self, were endangered by his stunt
flying.
Meanwhile the Police Department
had under way separate investiga-
ton of it's own. acting under authority
of police regulation which prohibits
stunt flying at a low height over con-
geSted areas.
Regulations Broken.
According to the Commerce De-
partment aeronautics branch, the
unknown aviator broke four distinct
regulations promulgated by the de-
partment for guidance of aviators
early in the year. He flew below 1000
feet over q congeSted area, INDUCED
himself in stunt flying and broke two
other regulations. According to resi-
dents OF the neighborhood he flew be-
tween two of the large apartment
buildings in the vicinity. at about
the height of the sixth story. A
District regulation forbids flying
below 5000 feet.
Four clues to the identity OF the
plane were being run down by the
department today. although witnesses
of the affair differed widely in their
vision of the Identification numbers
on the plane. One report said the
plane had vertical red. white and
blue stripes painted on the tail.
This. according to the Commerce De-
partment. would identify the machine
as an Army plane. There was little
unanimity in the reports of the iden-
tification number.
Commerce Department afr regula-
tions place a civil fine of $500 on the
aviator who breaks one of the four.
regulations the mysterious airman is
said to have broken. His license may
also be revoked, although revocation
is not mandatory under the law.
Former Case Recalled.
A similar case came up five years
ago when Donald d. Fahey. civilian
aviator, flew low over official cere-
monies in Potomac Park, causing
revocation of his license.
Had the engine of the stunting
plane yesterday cut out while the
machine was at low height. nothing
could have averted a crash which
would probably have cost the aviator
his life and might have killed others
in the neighborhood, officials OF the
aeronautics branch said. The case is
the first major infractiOn of the flying
rules in Washington since the regula-
tions of the Commerce Department be-
came effective.

JOURNALIST STILL VIEWING ALASKA WITH SYMPATHETIC
 BUT FIGHTING SPIRIT
By PARKER TOMBSTONE, of>Chica-
 go Evening Post

| American, the meaning IS the same ''The Great Land"
 That's just it. the land is great and everybody talks about it. Fol the past few days 1 have scanned books and pamplets by the dozens about Alaska, and practically all find in them is about resources, and unbounded wealth for the govern ment But what about the people
 This is just a heart to heart talk so believe me when I say that it hurts me as it should you, but if were in your place I would raise a howl about it. I am wondering if jt i isn't simply the lack of knowledge on the subject. Let me ask this how many people in the Great Land" know and understand the Organic Act of 1912?
 When we set aside the material wealth of the country in this discus sion, and take Up the political side which is the very essence of you, the people, we have then to deal with that worn out topic of bureaucracy But lets forget this aristocratic Eng fish and get down to brass tacks and simple terms.
 This act passed in 1912 was sup posed to give you folks a power to govern yourself es with few gov- ernmentaI limitations which were natural enough As time went on the Alaskan legislature asked Wash ington for this, that and the other thing, unti! now you, who are SUD- posed to be free and independent people just as another state of the union, are bound and tied by the ac tions of your own representatives.
 Imagine some state in the union having more than 30 boards and bu- reaus with prefix of "U. S." instead Of Illinois" or as it should be in this case Alaska" Can't you see that if this were the case, the government would be a form of autocracy? The constitution is a grant of powers to the people who in turn govern them- selves by their own form of govern ment which they set up in each state. And Alaska is supposed to be anoth- CT one of these states. Instead it has become passive country with people content to be impotent pieces on the game Washington plays, Ion this checker-board of nights and days"
 Oh my friends, ! know ] am just q newcomer, but I love you, this coun- l try and all that's in it, as I said be- fore. but can't you see you are he- coming stagnant, and . plaything ot Washington? You have a fighting spirit, as was eXemplified at the out break of the World War when over o.cG0 r?er enrolled at once fo" scr .:ce, which was a number far beyond | the required quota; 94 per cent ot the white population and 1900 of the natives were enrolled in the Red Cross. Alaska led al other state: in it's per capita subscription fo! Wa. stamps.
 You had fighting spirit oncn Where is it now, dear friends, tc shake off this bond Of autocra Y ':

CROSSING ACCIDENTS

The Chicago, Milwaukee and st. Paul railway
reports a decrease Of z per cent in crossing ac-l
cidents in 1926, as compared with 1925. This
in the face of the record for the United States
as a whole showing an increase of more than 8
per cent in grade crossing accidents in the same
year.
"The favorable showing along the Milwaukee
road" says H. E.. Byram, co-receiver of that line,
indicates that the public in our section of the
country is responding to our constant effort to
protect life and limb.
"The number of automobiles struck by trains
and the number of trains struck by autos each
decreased about 6 per cent. In 1925, 1874 auto
mobiles ran into our trains, striking them any
where between the pilot and the caboose. Last
year there were 153 cases of this kind. Appar-
emily automobile drivers are becoming more care
full in approaching the rails.
"Last year our safety department held 48e
meetings, attended by $500 local officers, 1000
employees, and many visitors, at various points
At these meetings 6,118 suggestions, all relatins
to improvements in methods and practices in thu
interest of safety, we're considered. Safety de
partment representatives discussed such matters
with more than $4,000 individuals and distributes
thousands of bulletins.
'The year 1926" Mr.. Byram added, "rounde,
out the seventh year without a fatal injury to
passenger in a train accident on the Milwaukee
road"
