duranee Flight.

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla, December
10.-Edward +. Schlee and William s.
Brock today ordered out a new crew
of mechanics to put their Pride of
Detroit" monoplane in perfect running
order for hop-off early next week
in an attempt to break the worlds en-
durance record.
The giant yellow ship, which
brou. hit the two cviators here yester-
day for the flight. recently was over
hauled at Detroit, and they believe
that only minor motor adjustments
will he necessary before the first test
flight with sand ba, weights can be
undertaken.
The exact date of the. take-off will
depend entirely upon weather condi'
tions and the success of the trials. 1t
Is probable that either Tuesday or
Wednesday will find the flyers ready
to begin their actual test. which they
hope to continue for 60 hours or more.
The present record of 81 hours and
% minutes is held by the German avi-
ators Edzard and RiZticz.

the statesmen of other countries or to
suppose that these would be used to
any other purpose than to maintain
good understanding and smooth diff

with Primo de Rivera had contributed

Brief Hearings Expected.

While there may be some opposi-
ton to adoption of the resolution then,
the Senate by two separate votes, on"
each in the Smith case and the ware
case, has given forcible expression TO
its own view that the committee eX'
listed all during the recess OF Congress
when it's right to act was challenged
by some Senators and others.
Further hearings in the Smith case
are not expected to consume mucn
time. as the issue there revolves al
most wholly around the acceptance by
Smiths campaign managers of large
contributions to his primary campaign
fund from Samuel insult and other
high officials of public service corpora
tions which commonly had business
before the Illinois Commerce Commls-
sion. of which Smith then was chair
man.
There has been no suggestion or
fraud or corruption in either the pil-
mary or general election in which the
Illinois Senator-elect was first nomi-
mated and then elected.
When the Ware case is reached,
much broader field of inquiry will be
opened, since there have been charges
of irregularities in both the primary
and the general election campaigns.
The committee already has gone into
the primary campaign very eXten'
sively, but it was prevented from in
curing into the general election when
the resolution to continue it during
the recess was blocked by the filibuster
at the close of the last session.
Ware to Appear.
As indicated in a statement which
he issued after the Senate refused
yesterday to give him the oath of
Office, Ware will go before the commit
tee to establish his own contention
that all expenditures which he made
, in both the primary and general cleo
ton were entirely proper and for
legitimate purposes.
Showing that it appreciated the
magnitude of the job ahead, the
Senate gave the slush fund COM
mittee until February to make its
final report as to whether Ware
should be seated. No limit is set on
a report on the Smith case, but one
is expected soon after the Christmas
holidays, and final action on his case
should follow within a short time.
Vice President Dawes will be asked
soon to fill the vacancy on the COM
mittees caused by the resignation of
Senator Golf. Republican, West Vir-
ginia. Besides Senator Reed of Mis-
souri,, the committee now consists of
Senators La Toilette. Wisconsin, and
McNary, Oregon, Republicans, and
King, Democrat, Utah.

VARE AND SMITH
PREPARE DEFENSE
Barred Senators Get Ready
to Present Cases to SIuSh
Fund Committee.
By the Associated Press.

With the Senate doors closed tenn.
porarily against them. Frank l.. Smith
OF Illinois and William s. Ware of
Pennsylvania turned their attention
today to plans for presenting their
cases anew to the Reed slush fund
committee which once turned thumbs
upon them.
That committee was called together
tod" by its chairman. Senator Reed.
Democrat, of Missouri, to discuss pro-
cedure. but it is not likely to begin
hearings until after the Senate adopts
a resolution reaffirming its authority
to act and to summon witnesses, books
and papers.
Adoption of this resolution was
blocked late yesterday by Senator
Reed, Republican. Pennsylvania. after
he had lost his fight TO have the oath
administered to Ware on vote OF
Sc to 80. He asked that the measure
go over until the next session OF the
Senate Monday.
