the Atlantic, establish a long distance
over water flight record.
They we're taken, after the greetings
aboard the Barendrecht to the home
OF the civil governor of .Fayal, where
they will be guests until, according to
their plans, they board the Portuguese
mail boat Lima, which sails Monday
for Lisbon, whence they will proceed
overland to Paris-still their goal.
Miss Elder and Haldeman said their
plane developed a defective oil line,
reducing the pressure to five pounds.
This was not sufficient pressure to
force into the motor enough oil to
keep it from running hot. Their fear
that they would not be able to fly 800
miles with their motor in this condi-
ton was given as their reason for land
ing beside the Barendrecht.
The plane might have saved but for
the rolling seas, that dashed it against
the side of the tanker as an attempt
was being made to hoist it aboard
With it's wings broken off, members
of the crew said, the plane fell back
in the water where explosions occurred.
To Prevent the flames that resulted
from the explosions setting fire to the
steamer, the lines were looSed and the
body of the plane was swallowed by
the sea, while the wings rose and fell
on the tossing seas, soiled remnants
of the beautiful orange an dmaroon
aircraft in which they flew away
from Roosevelt field last Tuesday eve
ming.
Miss Elder, dressed in her natty
male golf costume with plaid sweater
and socks, vivaciously told those who
greeted them On how their passports
and parachutes had been lost. But
she still wore the Chinese ring taken
along as q talis1nan. Members of the
crew said neither Miss Elder nor
Haldeman had any belongings when
they came aboard the Barendrecht,
and they surmised that the small
Bible and the toy cat, Miss Elders
other good luck charm and Spiritual
comforter, had been lost.
During their reception here, Halde-
man stood mutely in the background,
seemingly satisfied that Miss Elder
should have the spotlight. Both ex-
pressed profound gratitude for their
rescue to Captain Coos and members
of the Barendrecht's crew before be-
ing brought ashore in launch.

BALKANS PEACE
BY
ASSASSINAT lon
16- Year-OId Youth Shoots
Foreign Minister in
Prague

LONDON, Oct. Is tE9-The peace of
the Balkans has again been disturbed
by an assassination Tie Jugloslav-
Bulgar ferment over the murder of
General Kovachcevitch had barely
subSided when last night at Prague,
Tsena Bey, Albanian minister, accred-
tied to both o-Slavia and Czecho-
Slovakia, was assassinated
Dispatches reaching London suggest
that Tsena Bey's assassination might
be due. to the tension between Albania
and JugO-Slavia which recently calls-
ed European anxiety 1t is also hint
ed that the incident might be connect
ed with the Macedonian movement
which has given rise to trouble along
the border between Jugo-Slavia, Bull
garia and Greece, and upon which the
blame for the assassination of General
Kovachevitch is placed by Jugo- -Slavia.
Further details of last nights
assassination came from Prague today
According to the Czecho- -Slovak police,
Agiviadh Bebi, the Albanian youth
who fired the two fatal shots while
the minister was getting his hat in the
cloak room of a cafe, is student in
the sixth class of Roman school.
He came to Prague from Vienna last
Monday.
Bebi is only 16 years old and of
remarkably small stature.
He speaks italian, French, German,
Albanian and Slavis. He planned the
crime very carefully, witnesses say,
visiting the cafe each day and closely
watching the movements of his victim
who lived in rooms above the cafe.
To fortify himself for the assassina-
ton he drank three large glasses of
cognac few minutes before he pulled
the trigger which put the diplomat
low
When asked why he killed Tsena
Bey, Bebi replied because he wanted
to sell Albania to Jugo-Slavia."
The assailant made no attempt to
escape. He handed his revolver and

tiOnal Convention

WASHINGTON Oct. Is tP) - How
big a slice may be cut from the an
nual tax bill is a question now upper
most as administration and congress-
ional leaders turn their attention to
this major problem of the approach
ing session of congress.
With the revenue question involved
in the coming presidential campaign,
the issue already is settling along po-
litical lines with three fairly distinct
notions prevailing both as to the total
amount of reduction and where the
cuts shall be made.
Under pressure from President Cool
idge, administration leaders are ex-
petced to endeavor to hold the maxi
mum reduction within the limits set
by the treasury, something like two
hundred million dollars.
Democrats who are assembling for
the pre-seSsion meetings of the tax
committees of congress are measuring
the prospective surplus with the hope
that they can present program con-
templating a much larger reduction.
Some already have declared for cut.

The third element in the equation
the republican independents from
the western states apparently is little
interested in tax reduction, In their
preliminary legislative conference they
have expressed a preference for a
scaling down of the nationall debt
rather than on the tax bill, but if
there is to be tax revision legislation
they have very definite ideas as to
where the reduction should be made.
The basis for revenue legislation will
be laid at hearings before the house
ways and means committee beginning
at the end of this month. At those
hearings the treasury will present its
program in detail and spokesmen Tor

Cavanaugh had planned to make
the flight an unique one by having
three generations of his own family
in the plane at once He had planned
to have his mother, Mrs A. T. Cava-
naugh, accompany him on the flight,
but circumstances made this impoSsi-
bic, and his wife took the vacant
seat.
Winburn was to have written a fea-
ture story for the Sunday edition of

icy waters of the ocean before rescu-
ing her, was told toda yby members of
the crew of the Dutch tanker Barren

The American Girl to land safely.
When The American Girl descended
onto the tumultuous sea beside the
Barendrecht Thursday morning, 800
miles from land, Miss Elder and Halde-
man clambered onto the wings of the
land plane. The crew of the Barren
drecht, under orders of Captain Coos,
launched ships boat High rolling
waves tossed the boat about and it
was impossible to get near the plane.
Miss Elder, the crew related, was
clinging to wing of the plane dressed
in a non -sinkable suit. Haldeman,
on the other wing, was dressed for fly
ing, but not for swimming. The crew
shouted to the fliers, asking if they
could swim. The flierS shouted back
that they could not. The men in the
boat then decided to throw lines to
the fliers. AS they prepared to throw
the line to. Miss Elder they heard her
shouting for thine to save Haldeman

Elder said that she could keep afloat
in her suit, but that Haldeman would

Girl was sighted flying toward them.
AS the plane passed over the ship a
packet was dropped from it, falling
into the sea- Another package was
dropped, and this hit the deck. It
contained message asking the dis
tance to land.
An answer was painted on the tank
er's deck, reading: 1850 miles off Ter
ceira, Azores" The fliers seemed to
understand and the crew thought they
would proceed toward land, but the
plane came lower The engine stop

water. It was less than three minutes
before the boat containing the rescuers
had been put oversize.
