NEW YORK. June 14.-For four
hours today New York lost that
well-known young man, Charles A.
Lindbergh.
The flying colonel slipped quietly
out Of town to Mitchell and Curtlss
Fields, near Garden City, Long
Island, and talked shop to the air
pilots and mechanics with whom
he became acquainted when he was
preparing to hop off for Paris three
weeks and four days ago. He had

He scanned weather maps in the
observation office of the Army
reservation and expressed his dis,
appointment that the weather was
unfavorable for flying. 1t was
raining.
Casey Jones said Lindbergh
was told, while he studied the
weather maps in the operations
office, that there was little pros
pect that the weather would clear
sufficiently for a flying trip to

Upon his return he learned that

off the tribute of 100000 school
children on the mall of Central
Park this afternoon because OF
rain. The ceremonies were can
celled entirely.
This gave Lindy even more time
to himself. and he planned to spend
the afternoon motoring with his

 These ceremonies would not be complete if we did not pay homage to those who gladly gave their lives for the cause which they knew to be right.

THAT FILING FEE which a GER

Sussex derided and proclaimed that
they never would pay, is coming
home to plague them now, when
those who did pay it, have forgot
ten that it ever existed, and most of
whom realized that it was a just tax
on all the people, for maintenance
of the public schools. Now each
week scores are arraigned before
the courts, and must pay not only
the original fee of three dollars, hui
additions in form of fines and costs,
which have been fixed as a compro-
mise sum at $1,000. Those wIo laugh
last in this matter seem to be get
ting considerable more satisfaction
from this compulsory payment of a
Just tax, than are the men and wo-
men who deliberately attempted to
evade it's payment. 1t will take
about two weeks more to compleU-
the cases in Kent county. AMI then
the victims in Sussex will have TO
dig up the cash. Let no guilty man
or woman escape this obligation to
the State.
