LONDON, Ont, Sept. 1.-The
London, Ont, to LONDON, England
monoplane "Sir John CARING"
hoped off from the CARING air
drome here at 5:35 a. III. today for
Harbor Grace, n. r.
At the controls were Captain
Terence Tully and Lieutenant
James Medcalf, who planned to
make stop at Harbor Grace for
fuel before starting on their trans
Atlantic flight.
Nearly 5000 spectators were at
the airdrome at dawn to witness the
start of the $4,000 prize flight and
saw a perfect takeoff as Tully and
Medcalf nosed their craft into a
light westerly wind.
AS the monoplane swung around
and pointed eastward a cheer Of
bon voyage swept across the air
port.
The "Sir John Carling" planned
to keep watch for the Fokker mono
plane est. Raphael" which left
England for Canada Yesterday with
Princess Lowenstein-Wert on
board.
Tragedy Averted
Just AS the "Sir John Carling'
was about to start, head-on COLI
sion was narrowly averted when an
unexpected air visitor arrived with
news photographers.
A. c. Carly, member Of the COM
mittee who had stationed himself in
an automobile at the far end of the
runway, Immediately raced toward
the "Sir John CARING" blinking
his headlights as he came.
The air visitor, Waco, finally
landed and TAXED out of the way.
At 5:35 a. m. after Tully and
Medealf had been sworn in as email
carriers and given a sack of mail
bearing tag addressed to "LOn-
dontown,' the "Sir John CARING
was sent into the air.
After a preliminary run of only
1900 feet--o6 seconds-the Stinson-
Detroiter nosed gracefully into a
light westerly wind, swung around
to the east and was off on the first
leg Of the prize flight sponsored by
the Carling breweries.

into story of the civil war, of
Whic F1he loves to tell when he was
dragged from his office into the
chancery court, he was presented
with a gold headed cane as1d an

honOred with a supper at which
were included former governor of

son, Mayor Malone, and w. NJ. Cox,
clerk of the chauncery court.
I'm feeling fine," the captain
told his many friends on his
birthday. "And 1 am good for
great many more years. No, I
haven't any rules of living-other
than orderly rules. And smoke
black cigars too. I've smoked 'em
all my life."
1t was a significant occurrence
that happened on the very morn
ing of his birthday. Into his office
walked Col. r. B. EdgingtOn, SOL
dier of the north, who was so
years old himself, only last April
90. The colonel walked over tO the
Capt. and offered congratulations.
The soldier of the south arose and
took the hand of the soldier ct the
north for it was 62 years ago that
the "hatchet" was buried forever

Stop In Ireland and New
fOundland For Refueling

RETURN FLIGHT
After II Hours In New
York EngIishman Will
Hop Off For Home

SOUTHAMPTON, July 10 up =
'"The great adventure Will start at
dawn tomorrow" In these words
Captain F. T. Courtney. the British
aviator, tonight announced that all
was in readiness for his trans-At-
lantic flight to New York IN the
flying boat whale"
Captain Courtney planned to make
a final test flight early tomorrow
morning He will ther refuel and
start not later than z O'Clock from
Southampton waters for Velentia
Ireland. At Valentia harbor the crew
of the whale" will snatch some lunch,
refuel the plane and take the air
for Newfoundland about o'clock in
the afternoon.
There was feverish last minute ac-.
tivity at Calshot camp, where the
Whale" was being got ready The
machine was fairly covered with
mechanics and experts who we're
making a microscopic inspection to
see that she was in perfect right
ing trim for the battle against the
Atlantic elements.
Captain Courtney made the deci
sion to start tomorrow after study
ing weather conditions all day. This
evening he received from the British
air ministry bulletin indicating
that by tomorrow the weather at
Valentia would be good. At the
same time cable was received
from New York saying that condi-
tions there and Off Newfoundland
were all that could be expected.
A hitch in the radio during the
to be the only thing likely to delay
the flight.
Pilot Engineer Courtney, r. F.
Little and DoWner, who is both
navigator and radio officer, have
been holding numerous conferences.
One of the last things that Courtney
did tonight was to test the rubber
collapsible boat which is built on the
same lines as that used by Com
mander Byrd during the latter's' re-
cent transatlantic flight.
Captain Courtneys plans provided
that after leaving Valentia he would
land at Topsail, nine miles from ST.
Johns, Newfoundland, where the
boat would be refuelled for the flight
to New York
The Whale" which is constructed
of duraluminum, weighs nearly seven
tons completely loaded. She has a
plane of T2 feet, O. length OF SIS feet
and a height OF Is feet. The wing
area is 1000 square feet. The
whales" normal speed is 100 miles
an hour and her maximum speed is
| 125 miles. The maximum load which
she can carry is 5000 pounds.
| If Captain Courtney succeeds in
spanning the 1900 miles OF open
| Atlantic from Ireland to NeWfound-
land, he will be the first to have
accomplished the feat OF flying over
this westward course in a heavier
than air machine.

FARM TROUBLES
ARE PRESENTED
TO PRESIDENT
Committee Shows Coolidge
Where Farmers Lose On
Crops

RAPID CITY, S. D., July 10, GP-
Figures purporting to show that it
costs the farmer much more to pro-
duce his crops than he gets for them
were presented to President Coolidge
in the course of two conversations
held by him on the agricultural situa-
tion
The corn belt committee gave Mr..
Coolidge a table of statistics showing
that it costs the farmer an average
of about IS per cent more TO produce
than he receives for his products. At
the end of the 80 minute conference
the committees representatives de-
clared the president expressed himself
very favorably" toward their sug-
gestion that broader cooperative
marketing system must be arranged.
Sound legislation also was Sug-
gested as an aid for agriculture by
Frederick E. Murphy publisher of the
Minneapolis Tribune, who stayed last
night at the summer White House and
who drove into the executive office
today with the president.
However, Mr.. Murphy, who has
staunchly opposed the vetoed McNary-
Haugen farm bill thinks the worst
period OF depression for farming is
past and he reiterated his disapprov-
al of the measure which he described
as 'delusion and snare"
In a statement issued after MS de-
parture, Mr.. Murphy declared Farm
ers are by no means unit behind the
McNary- -Haugen bill" and he predicted
great results from increased attention
to diversified farming.
The spokesman of the corn belt
committee which represents SO state
farm organizations, principally in the
middlewesL told the president that a
remedy would be provided i'll a sys-

Rebels,
Stunned by Defeat,
Seek Inaccessibility

MANAGUA, July 19 lPj-Stunned
over his disastrous defeat at Octotal,
General Sandino, leader OF Nicara-
guam rebels, has isolated himself in
a remote and inaccessible part OF
the country. The amazing defense
by a mere handful OF United States
marines and Nicaraguan constabul-'
ary aided by five bombing planes
from Managua, has served to scatter
the rebels and has dealt blow from
which they are not soon likely to
recover.
Sandino had been able to gather
together a large group OF sympath-
izers. He himself had fought under
General Moncada, commander OF
the liberal forces, and had there
fore had much experience in the
field.
He drew to his banner many mai
contents and at one time had more
than a thousand men under him.
He promised his followers all sorts
OF rewards by lootlng and revenge
on the Yankees" Sandino finally
called himself "the wild beast OF the
mountains" and became hero to
the class OF men who served under
him.
When the attack began at 1
o'clock Saturday morning, many OF
lis sympathizers in the town joined
him under cover OF darkness. The
attack was to be a surprise and
Sandino and his men fondly believed
that Nicaraguans would soon hear
that the small garrison had been
wiped out. The rebel leader had be-
Titled the Americans, their airplanes
and their bombs, which he told his
men "only made noise

HUNT Issues

DEBT
Monday, July Is, Set AS
Date For Meeting of
State Legislators
LIMIT ACTIVITY
Call Is For Specific Purpose
Only Of ApprOpriating
$514,246.O6

PHOENIX, July l9 Pe-The eighth
Arizona legislature has been pro-
claimed to convene in the third eX-
traordinary session since it became
an official body OF state on January
3, the date OF its special conven-
ton.
Governor Geo. w. P. Hunt today
made public his proclamation call
ing the state solonS into special ses-
sion next Monday at 10 a. nj. Tor
the purpose of passing an appropr1a-
ton OF $5i4,246.06 to care for cred
itors of the state, and for the most
part creditors OF the state highway
department.
The announcement OF q special
session was met with particular in
terest when it was learned that the
governor had failed to mention at
fairs of the state highway department
in the proclamation. The word
highway" does not appear anywhere
in the CALL indicating that the gov
ernor intended that no loophole
should be given for proponents OF
highway legislation similar to re-
ViSed house bill 127 passed at the
last regular session and subsequent
~ beheaded by a gubernatoriaI veuo
More than AIS creditors, consisting
of merchants and others, are sep
arately listed in the proclamation
for special legislation. The governor
states in the call that failure OF
the state OF Arizona to meet its
obligations to the merchants and
others to whom it is indebted is
working a hardship and an in
justice upon the debtors OF the state
and the community as a whole"
For the first time since the sub
ject OF highway creditors relief has
been brought up for official action q
detailed list OF the claimed debts is
made. The largest sum due an in
dividual creditor, according to the
governors proclamation, is $4762l.6;.
The smallest amount itemized is for
$198.
Opinion was expressed tonight by
OF q commission form OF
state highway administration and
favorable to the vetoed house bill NO.
12I, that the governor has left the
gates wide open for highway leg.sIa-
tion., The assertion is made on the
basis that before an appropriatiCG r.
meet the claims OF creditors can be
made avenues OF revenue will be
provided, and in the case OF high
way creditors relief such will be
similar to that provided in measure
frowned upon by Governor Hunt.

eighth legislature have been called
by the governor; the first converting

DELEGATES Of
GREAT BRITAIN
LEAVE GENEVA
Americans N0nplussed By
Action of Ambassadors
From England
SURPRISE MOVE
Washington Officials Say
Nothing Approximating
Agreement Seen

GENEVA, July 10 (9-The sudden
recall to London of the chief British
delegates to the tripartite naval con-
ference set in motion bewildering
number of conjectures, of the strong
est being that it implied eventual
rupture of the conference.
Only the British cabinet, with which
w. G. Bridgeman, first lor0 of the
admiralty, and Lord Cecil will consult,
can answer the riddle. The British
delegates apparently had no inten-
tions of going to London before the
summons came, and neither the
Americans nor the Japanese can con-
tribute anything in the way of
real explanation.
Lord Cecil, entraining for London
at $40 tonight, contented himself
by telling the newspapermen that he
was going back in obedience to q
summons from his majesty's govern
ment." He explained that in view
of Premier Baldwir's departure with
the prince of Wales for Canada in
a few days the cabinet wanted to
go over the whole situation.
Hugh S. Gibson, head of the Amer
ican delegation, after bidding fare
well to Mr.. Bridgeman, who will leave
early in the morning for London,
went into conference with the Amer
lean technicians. He emphasized that
as Vice Admiral Field, deputy chief
of the British admiralty staff, still
was in Geneva-slightly indisposed
and therefore not making the London
trip-contact between the three dele
cations was not severed and that
various minor points might profitably
be talked over while awaiting the
return of the political heads of the
British delegation.
"The American delegation is re-
naming right here in Geneva" Mr..
Gibson concluded.
Enough is known about the prob
lens of the conference, however, to
throw some light on the reasons for
the departure of the British pleni-
potentiaries, who leave behind the
entire staff of technical delegates and
secretaries. There is absolutely nc
agreement on the question of the
size of secondary cruisers, nor on the
question of the size of the guns tc
be mounted on these warships.
Until this fundamental problem is
settled, nothing can be done. The

REALTORS SAY
Great Improvement Noted
In Business, With City
Filled to Capacity

Real estate men of Douglas are a
unit in expounding the gospel of a
greater city and greater prosperity
and of the necessity of a building pro-
gram to be initiated at once if the
city is to keep pace with the influx of
homeseekers.
Fred D. Hubbell on talking about
the real estate conditions here said
'The house situation will be serious
from a rental standpoint. There should
be so reasonably priced renJ houses
built. Practically all bargain proper
ty, both resident and business, has
passed into the hands of new own
ers. People who have been seeking
gifts in the way of property have oy-
erstayed themselves.
There is a decided improvement,
however, in the way of rentals and
sales. The people are feeling more op-
timistic and have more confidence in
the town than heretofore"
= Tom Glenn was of the same opinion
and in speaking of the situation he
stated, Conditions here are better
than they have been for the p-st ten
years and are constantly improving.
BY the first of September there will
not be a vacant house in town, or a
house that anyone will be able to rent.
Rents will undoubtedly increase during
the ensuing months.

property and willing to buy but can
not find any property that is to be
sold.
