at the air field expected the mechan-
ical changes to require considerable
time, and said the defect probably
would delay the takeoff considerably
although the fliers retained hope
of taking off tomorrow
Smith and Carter completed their
repairs quickly, and Immediately took
off on second test flight. The
second time they stayed up one hour
and 20 minutes.
The aviators tested the radio on
the Smith plane during the flight,
and announced that the apparatus
worked perfectly. The defect found
in the wing also seemed to have been
corrected.
Mechanics in the army fliers camp
here began fueling the Fokker plane
early tonight. Army officers at CriSsy
field, San Francisco, said General
Patrick had ordered Maitland and
Hegenberger to land on Wheeler field,
Honolulu, instead of Luke field. The
significance of the order was not
revealed.
Airport officials tonight announced
receipt of orders to shave clear

tomorrow morning. Thousands Of
machines thronged the highways in
the vicinity of the airport and many
autoists appeared planning to stay
all night to watch the expected take
off in the early morning.

The deputy quoted Kelly as tell
ing Miss Mackaye that he had de-
cjded to go to the penitentiary to
start serving his sentence rather
than lose any time by remaining
in the county Jail while his appeal
is pending as this time would be
lost if the appeal is denied.

report of the turkey dinner meeting

Deputy District Attorney George

argument before the jury of eight
women and four men sitting in the
trial of Miss Mackaye on charges
of having cOnspired with DIR. w.

clan who attended her husband, to

that he would be on the field when
the plane was ready to start and
would announce his intentions in
ample time"
While the Smith plane was being
tuned and tested today the army
Fokker landed here from Crissy field.
A camp was established next to that
OF the civilian airmen and with ar
rival OF truckloads of equipment, me-
chanics and tents the airport hummed
with unprecedented activity.
Scarcely is minutes passed during
the day without the arrival of army
service planes from the presidio.
Officers with orders, messages and
mechanics with additional equipment
were arriving, soon to depart on new
missions.
Roads leading to the airport guided
thousands of spectators to the field.
A few minor changes were made
on the Smith plane during the day,
the last being to substitute single
wire wireless antenna for the reel
type, such as used by the army. The
antenna was loaned by officials at
Crissy field.
j. W. Maitland, father of the army
flyer, arrived at the field from his
home in Burlingame, Calf. His son
had already departed for Crissy field.
When he read the Associated Press
dispatch from Washington stating
that the hop-off would probably be
tomorrow morning the elder Maitland
Douglas daily dispatch., 1927-06-27

said that Judging from discussion with
his son of general flight plans he
expected that the army plane would
take-off about 2 a. m. and strike
favorable trade winds about 500 miles
off the coast. He said that he and
Mrs. Maitland would witness the
take-off.
Maitland and Hegenberger we're to
get few hours sleep tonight at
Crissy field quarters, arising shortly
after midnight to prepare for the
flight.
Fueling Of the army plane was
expected to begin late tonight. Lieu
tenant Maitland declared it would
take about five hours to pour the
1.O40 gallons of gasoline into the
tanks OF the army plane. This done
everything would be ready.
The motor of the Smith plane was
given a thorough inspection today by
Kenneth j. Boedecker, motor expert
of the Wright Aeronautic company,
OF Patterson, New Jersey, manufac-
turerS of the nine cylinder radia type
engine used by the smaller plane.
It was tuned and pronounced in
perfect condition.
Lieut.. Valentine Gephart of Seattle,
secretary of the National Aeronautic
association, inspected the plane itself
and suggested few minor changes,
one of these being the painting of
drift lines on the fuselage of the
plane, similar to those OF the army
craft. With these Carter will be
able to observe whether the plane
is drifting from line of smoke
BOMBS.
Gephart expected a telegram late
today from the National Aeronautic
association sanctioning Smiths flight.
This he urged in a telegram sent to
the associations headquarters at
Washington after completing his in
SpectiOn of the plane.
The 7,O20 foot runway along which
the planes will dash from 90 to 100
miles an hour for the take-off was
inspected carefully by army and
civilian officials. It was the llnani-
nous opinion that the ground would
stand up we'll under the heavily laden
planes and that the runway was
one of the best in the country.
The army plane, loaded will weigh
Is, 800 pounds and Smiths plane
4,732 pounds.
Relations between the rival camps
were cordial, though naturally marked
by keen rivalry. Greetings and wishes
of good luck were exchanged between
General Patrick and Smith.
Word that Grace was obtaining his
gasoline was received with consider
able interest at the local camp and
it was believed that the three planes
might be over the Pacific at the
same time.
Smith and Carter took off on
test flight about $50 tonight, but
landed after being in the air six
or seven minutes The fliers said the
right wing of the plane was too
heavy, and threw the machine out
of balance.
Realignment of the airplane was
declared necessary before the oversee

rich Won Bernstorff, former German
ambassador to Washington, and Bruno
Jacquin de Margerie, French am
bassador at Berlin, are so often mis-
taken for each other at social events
at the German capital that the term
"Sianlese twins is not infrequently
applied to them.
There is one resemblance to which
must confess" Count Bernstorff
laughingly remarked when his at
tention was called to the alleged
similarity. "T had occasion only the

ago, we're both embassy attaches at

The invitation had been extended
through Dwight w. Morrow, a member

FOR BLIND URGED
Work of American Founda-
tion Described at Luncheon
of Lions Club.

| The general work of the American
Foundation for the Blind. Inc, in fur
nishing reading material in braille Tor
| the blind was described by Mrs. Ida
| Hirst Clifford, organizing director OF
the foundation. at luncheon or the
Lions Club in the Mayfiower Hotter
yesterday.
Mrs. Clifford declared the Govern
ment has not done anything for the
blind except to furnish text books for
the schools, adding that blind soldiers
had asked that the Government appro-
pirate 100000 for the purchase of
reading material, but that it had re-
fused to do so,
She described how through the ef-
forts of the foundation braille has
been standardized, so that only one
system is in general use in place OF
seven. She also told of the difficult
ties of blind persons purchasing books
printed in braille, due to the cost. A
Bible printed in braille, she explained,
even when done in wide volumes,
stands about feet high.
In conclusion, she requested the
Lions Club to contribute the sum of
S524 to have four stories by Helen
Keller written in Is copies, to be
placed at the disposal of blind per-
sons Roger J. Whiteford, who pre-
sided at the meeting, said the board
Of directors would take the matter
under consideration. 1t was also ex-
planned at the meeting that one of the
chief interests of Lions Clubs through.
out the country is in aiding the blind.
