WASHINGTON. June %. -
Charles Lindbergh's proposed WASH
ington visit is designed to give the
Army, Navy and Commerce Depart
ment air chiefs the advantage of
his views on European aviation and
to assist him, if he desires, in max
ing plans for his future. This de-
veloped here today following word
from st. Louis that he proposed to
fly to the capital.
Col. Lindbergh virtually has de-
cided to turn orator for two months
and make a nation wide lecture
tour. the United Press was informed
today by usually reliable author
ity.
The proposed lecture tour would
take him to nearly every large city
in the country. There is a strong
possibility he would make his jumps
in The Spirit of ST. Louis.
Lindbergh wants to acquire a
working capital before entering
business, and he wants to earn it
by the sweat of his own brow"
This he could do on the lecture
platform. He also believes his speak
ing program would aid aviation.

MILE-LONC PLEA
/. IN SACC0 CASE
Petition of 100000 Names
S Sent to Governor Fuller.

BOSTON, June 22.-Nearly mile
long and containing approximately
half million names, an interna-
tional petition asking a public in
vestigation of the co-Vanzetti
murder case was presented to Gov
ernor Alvan T. Fuller'S Office today.
The petition, consisting of two pa
per rolls each about two and half
feet in diameter, was taken to the
Statehouse in an automobile by
Gardner Jackson and Joseph Moro
of the Sacco- Vanzetti defense COM
nlittee.
It was believed the petition might
be viewed at today's meeting of the
executive council.
Signers of the petition included
almost every class of person from
the huInblest to the highest, the
names of eminent educators and
captains of industry being sand
wiched among those of common Ia
borerS.
Governor Fuller now is reviewing
the sensational case of Sacco and
Vanzetti, who, unless he intervenes,
probably will die in the electric
chair the week of July 10 for two
murders committed more than seven
years ago.

328 CONvICTS
RIOT, RETREAT
TO COAL Mine
Guard Stabbed in Cell Fight
During Mutiny at Kan
SaS Prison.

81 United Press
LANSING, Kas, June 22.-Of-
ficials of the Kansas Penitentiary
today still were without word from
1913 convicts barricaded within a
mine shaft of the prison.
The men mutinied yesterday noon,
overpoWered fourteen guards, whom
they are holding prisoners, and an
nounced they would not surrender
unless granted permission to receive
cigarets from friends outside.
Last night other prisoners in the
big institution rioted within their
cells. j. F. Thomas, a guard, was
stabbed and is in a serious condi-
ton today.
Disturbances leading to the riot
began last Sunday when the repeal
of the Kansas anti-cigaret bill went
into effect, prisoners demanded per-
mission to receive cigarets. This was
refused and threats Of mutiny we're
whispered.
Cry Was Ignored
Monday men in the mines beat
on metal buckets and cars, shouting,
mo cigarets, no COAL" No atten-
ton was paid to them.
Shortly before noon the open
break came. How the men gained
command of the situation is not
known as no communication has
been established. Guards in the
mine we're armed only with clubs.
1t is assumed they we're rushed from
behind before they could give
warning.
The prisoners have blocked the
cage to their level, 100 feet below
the surface, and refuse to answer
the telephone.
The attitude of officials is ex-
pressed by a statement made by
Warden Mackey in San Antonio
last night. He said he hoped the
animals were safe"
Cell Riot Short
The riot in the dollhouse was of
short duration. AS the prisoners
filed to their cells, after being
counted in, eleven of them formed
group near one of the inner
doors and attacked the guards as
they followed at the rear of the
line. j. F. Thomas was the last
guard in.
You'll play hell locking me in a
CELL" he told the men.
A scuffle ensued and Thomas
was stabbed. r. H. Hudspeth, act
ing warden in the absence of War
den w. H. Mackey, hastily sum-
moned all remaining guards.
Breaking in window, Hudspeth
fired two shots and one prisoner
fell, shot through the leg. The
others surrendered.
No action is to be taken by au-
thorities in connection with the
men in the mine. There is no food
and little water available for them
and it is only a question of time
until they will be forced to surren-
der, it was said.

Pastor Rem Declares Half
Pint Was Planted

NORTH VERNON, Ind, June %.
Just how a half pint of alcohol
got into an automobile in which
the Rev. A. P. Rem. a Ku Klux
orator. and Jason A. Hooten, horse
thief detective, from Indianapolis.
were riding is something which
bothered Rem and Hooten as much
as local officers who arrested them.
Rem testified in the city court
trial of Hcoten that he believed
some one put the liquor in the car
and then discovered" it so an ar
rest could be made. The judge fined
Hooten 500 and costs and SEN
fenced him to thirty days.
Attorney Lawrence Shaw of In
dianapoliS Immediately appealed
Hooten's case to Circuit Court. Shaw
earlier had obtained the discahrge
of Rem and Hooten on charges of
trespassing.
Rem was witness in the Reed
probe of Indiana politics last year.

DECLARES ERA ?
OF COMMERCIAL
FLYING is HERE
Frank {. Gates Says Avia-
ton Enterprises Will
Prove Profitable,
JUNE %, 1927

Commercial aviation is certain TO
be a profitable enterprise in Indi-
annapolis, asserts Frank E. Gates, ex-
president of the indianapolis real
estate board, which began the
movement for an indianapolis air
port two years ago.
Indianapolis should develop its
local airport and back any CONNER
cial aviation enterprise which is
started by the business men of the
community Gates declared.
There is no doubt in my mind
that indianapolis will be an impor-
tant city in the commercial avia-
ton lines established in the next
few months. Climatic conditions
here are favorable. Indianapolis
has as many good flying days as
most any other city in the country"
Proponents Confer
Gates, a member of the Chamber
Of Commerce aeronautics commit
tee. said the chamber was consulted
Monday by a group of indianapolis
Airport Corporation representatives
and business men interested In fur
thering commercial aviation.
Several have expressed the opin-
ion that a commercial organization
should replace the Indianapolis Air
port Corporation, a nonprofit ma
king body. and support the enlarged
flying program resulting from re-
cent air feats.
Confidence Expressed
Belief that a properly financed
field will bring the aircraft industry
to indianapolis was expressed by
Gates.
Realtors started the movement
which resulted in the formation of
the Indianapolis Airport Corpora
ton two years ago following the
Detroit convention, when Dan w.
lie Gore, board aviation committee
chairman, inspected the aviation ex-
perimental station and interested
in plans for an Indian
apolis airport.
Community leaders raised $4,000
and formed the corporation which

On Big Chicago
Roosier Joy Ride

CHICAGO, H., July 13.-Hun-
dreds of tickets have been sold for
the excursion from here to Michigan
City which is scheduled to take place
on July 18th, leaving from the
Goodrich docks on Municipal Pier at
$50 A. M. and due to return at
7 P. M.
Several innovations are going to
be tried on the boat by way of adding
to the gaiety. If the weather is ex-
cessively warm discussions on all
topics except The DAILY WORKER
will be squelched mercilessly. No
matter how the weather behaves, ac-
cording to Sam Hammersmark, lea
der of the expedition, he will see to
it that The DAILY WORKER Build
ers are organized in Chicago. That
is the main purpose of the excursion.
"The DAILY WORKER is under
fire from all Sides" Sam declared
and every militant worth his salt
must rally to it's defense. There is
no better way of spending July 18th
than in devising ways and means to
guard The DAILY WORKER from
the capitalist jackals that are howl
ing for its life"
Tickets for the return trip on the
boat can be had for the small sum of
$500, but they must be bought and
paid for in advance, else tardy ex-
cursionists may suffer inconvenience
and disappointment while the DAILY
WORKER will suffer both in addition
to financial loss.
