CHICAGO, Aug. 80 P)-Half
million movie fans in Chicago
went without their favorite amuse-
ment today while theatre owners
kept their houses closed as pro-
test against demands of labor
unions.
Vaudeville also was missing from
the city's list of entertainments as
all theatres with the variety bills
were affected by the closing.
Starting as an objection by the
Orpheum circuit management to
the refusal of the motion picture
operators union to reduce the staff
of operators in recently acquired
theatre the controversy quickly
involved $50 theatres showing pic
lures. The closing order was sent
out yesterday.

CROYDON, Eng, Aug. 30 P)-
Captain w. G. Hinchcliffe, the
British aviator who, today while
eating a juicy piece of fresh plum
pie, came to an agreement with
Charles A. Levine to pilot the
trans Atlantic airplane Columbia"
to America, is one of the. most
picturesque airmen in Great Brit
ain.
HifchcIiffe is known as a
"Storm wizard" flying much by
nature instinct. The saying is
at Croydon airdrOme that he could
just about fly to Paris, Amsterdam
or Cologne with his one eye shut,
if it were necessary for him to
perform such feat. 1t should be
explained that "ss:nch' as his
brother aviatOrs call him, lost an
eye during the war. He has seven
enemy planes logged to his credit
in the war department files.

Atlantic flight with Hinchcliffe.
The latter was good listener.
Over roast chicken, the trio

President Coolidge.
Holds Open Mind On
Conuenir'g Congress

RAPID CITY, S. D., Aug. 80, R-
President Coolidge is holding an
open mind on the convening of con-
gress or, at least the senate into
special session a month ahead of the
regular meeting time in December
Pending further conferences with
congressional leaders on his return to
washington, he is declared by recent
visitors to be ready to listen to ar
guments for an early session.
Senator Jones, of Washington, re-
publican whip of the senate, declared
today after a conference with Mr..
Coolidge that he thought the chief
executive was sympathetic to spec
ial session of the senate.
An early meeting of the senate was
urged by Senator Jones to. give the
body an opportunity to discuss the
contests against the seats OF Sera-
tor Smith of Illinois and Ware OF
Pennsylvania, both Republicans.
While he felt the president was
interested in such a. program, it is
known that Mr. Coolidge wants to
confer with Senator Curtis of Kan
sas, the Republican leader, before
reaching a decision. Senator Curtis,
who was unable to accept an invita-
ton to come here this week has an
nounced opposition to a special ses-
sion of congress.
This question along with the
problems Of selecting ambassadors to
Mexico and Cuba and new COVER
nor general of. the Philippine islands
will likely await the return to Wash
ington the last of next week OF Mr..
Coolidge.
The president will be at his desk
again on Monday, September IL,
probably leaving here on the night
of Friday, Sept. 9. One stop will be
made-at Brookings, S. D., where he
will dedicate the library of the
state agricultural college.
Senator Jones, who is chairman OF
the senate commerce committee did
express disappointment today at the
determination of Mr.. Coolidge to put
the government merchant fleet all
in private hands.
eve must continue to operate the
merchant marine" he said, lin order
to defend our foreign commerce and
serve us in the event of war.
'I agree with the president that
it would be good to get our merchant
ships into private hands but private
capital will not buy them and we
must have a merchant marine"
1t was a busy morning at the exc
cutive office today. Mr.. Coolidge
received delegates from Washington
state urging development of the
Columbia river basin reclamation
project; from the Farmers Equity
cooperative creamery association and
representatives Of the American So
ciety of agricultural engineers.
Careful study of the Columbia
river project was promised by the
president who realizes that it in
wolves a cost of more than $780,
100000. While generally favoring
such developments he would prefer
to have these await the accrual OF
the money from the reclamation
funds. He will take this proposition
up with Secretary Work.

IS DEFEATED BY.
NATIONALISTS
Northerners Reported to
Have Suffered Two
Reverses at Marking

PEKING, Aug. 30, P0-Dispatches
reaching here today through foreign
channels from the Yangtse valley
report that General Sun Chuan-
Fang's Shantung army has suffered
setbacks to the south of the river,
losing 1000 men taken captive by
the NationaliSts.
Despite the recent report Of the
fall of Nanking, that city is still in
the hands of Nationlaists although
it appears that small northern de-
tachments reached the suburbs sim
,ultaneously with the withdrawal OF
a considerable part of the garrison
to new positions to the south.
Later, the dispatches say, two na+
tionalist counter attacks were
launched and both were successful,
the first resulting in the capture OF
1000 northerners and the second
5000.
An official message says Sun
Chuan Fang, personally crossed the
Yangtse near Chinkiang to direct
operations of his forces south Of the
river. These forces, however, are still
small and their activities are large
ly confined to infiltrations, prevent
ing communication between Shang-
hal and Marking.

fairs. It was during the salad
course that Hinchcliffe had his
say which was short. Then smart
little waitress in black dress and
white cap, who is always terribly
bored by so much aviation talk,
brought in plum pie-they call IL
a tart over here-and put down
three slices with an air of care
leSsnesS. Before the trio had fin
ished the pie they had come to an
understanding.
Half an hour afterward, Captain
Hinchcliffe took the Columbia for a
spin. He put her through some banks
and other whirls to try out the con-
trolS and later said he was more than
satisfied that she was ready to do
the trick proposed.
"Oh, she is lively" he exclaimed.
"Sle worked beautifully and she is so
light, and how she likes to do"
Some one asked him: do you think
she would make it, should you strike
head winds?"
Hinchcliffe smiled and replied:
why, she'd make it of course, If I
had head winds all the way"
Captain HincHcliffe is tall, slender
and smooth shaven. He has more
than 5000 flying hours to his credit.
He received his civil pilots license
in 1913 and at the outbreak of the war
entered the royal aviation forces. For
time he was chief instructor at the
Cranwell airdrome, and when the war
ended, entered the commercial service,
doing much trans-channel flying.

Pride of Detroit Lands at

BELGRADE, Jugo-slavia, Aug. 80 ~

BELGRADE, Jugo- -S1avia, Aug. 30 up
Five hundred miles were added to
the record of the pride of Detroit"
today when the American aviatorS
William S. Brock and Edward f.
Schlee landed at the airdrome near
Belgrade at 1908 o'clock. They went
into the air at 6:25 in the morning at
Munich, intending, if conditions were
favorable to fly to constantinople, 1000
miles away. But they encountered
rain and fog, which delayed progress
and they decided to come down at
Belgrade.
A warm welcome awaited them and
the airmen remarked smilingly that
they did not regret the stop over, even
at the expense of little time. They
navigated by earth inductor compass
and alsS followed the Danube river
when visible.
One of the needs of the airmen is
good maps and these will be provided
by Captain Sondermayer, Jugo-Slav
ace, who made Belgrade to Bombay
flight this year. He also gave the
Americans valuable information con-
cerning air currents and atmospheric
conditions.
Altogether Brock and Schlee feel
that they have made good time. From
America to Belgrade in four days is a
worlds record and they hope to con-
tinue their record making voyage.
Their speed at times today was well
over 100 miles an hour, but on occas-
sion they slowed down because of the
fog to make certain of their bearings.
When informed that severe thunder
storms prevailed over Bulgaria they
decided to stay for the night at Bel
grade and start for Constantinople
early tomorrow morning.
A motor boat conveyed the fliers
from the airdrome to the city where
they paid visit to the American lega-
ton and were entertained at dinner
by the Jugo-Slav Aero club.

S35Q,OOO SPENT 7
IN DEFENSE OF
VANZETTI
Treasurer of Sacco-Vanzet-
ii Defense Committee,
Makes Report

NEW YORK, Aug. 80, R-The
seven year vain struggle to save
Sacco and Vanzetti from death in
the electric chair, entailed expend-
itures totaling more than $35OOOO,
Aldino Felicani, treasurer and found
er of the Boston defense committee
announced here tonight.
Of this amount less than $4,000 was
contributed by communists through
out the country. Felicani said, with
the New York Sacco-V -Vanzetti en1er-
gency committee sending a total OF
$500 for the defense of the men.
Felicani accused all radical groups
except the Socialist of using Sacco-
Vanzetti agitation as propaganda to
further their own individual politics,
the Socialists, he said, had contri-
buted Loyalty to the defense fund.
Reports that communists in the
United States had raised $500,O00
in the interest of the men were
branded as false by the founder OF
the defense committee. The third
internationale at Moscow was said
to have sent $1,000 but the money
was never received, Felicani declar-
ed.
The Boston defense committees
future program includes plans to
provide for the future of Mrs. Sac
CO and her two children.
The death masks of Sacco and
Vanzetti which have been on dis
play here, will remain for another
day, and then be returned to Bos-
ton
Under present plans, Felicani dis
closed half of the ashes of each
man will be taken to Italy in sep
arate urns and the remainder will
rest in Maiden, Mass, the former
home of Sacco and the present res
idence of Governor Alvan T. Fuller.

SAN ANTONIO, Texas, Aug. 80 P)-
No information of any kind regarding
the whereabouts of Captain c. H. Rey-

land, army flyers, forced down in Mex
leo Saturday, was received here today
Although dispatches from Mexico
City said that orders had been issued
to release the men and plane no word
was received at eighth corps area
headquarters today from the men,
A telegram from the military COM
mandant at Ojinaga, Chihuahua, Mex
leo, to Consul General Alexandra p.
Carrillo, here, said that up until z
o'clock Monday evening his men had
been unable to locate the fliers and
plane.
Word received from Maria yesIer-

telegram came from Colonel Babcock,
commanding the first cavalry at Camp
Maria, but DID not disclose the source
of his information.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 80 QF9 - Be
cause of confusion as to the exact

Guadalajara, Mexico, the state de-
partment said today that the Ameri-
can embassy at, Mexico City had been
sent renewed Instructions to urge that
adequate protection be afforded Amer
leans at that place by Mexican auth
critics. The last report from the
mines relayed by American Vice Con-
sui Satterthwaite at Guadalajara said
no troops had arrived at that time
although Mexico City press advices
quoted the war office as saying that a
military detachment had restored or
der at the mining property.
The consul's message added that no
"visible protection" was being given ac-
cording to dispatch from the mines
which also said that although tension
is less at present, Situation is serious
as work is stopped and we see nothing
to prevent more violence"
Officials here are still inclined to
regard the incident as almost entirely

foreign outbreak as at first feared

RIO JANEIRO, Aug. 80, R-
More than five days have passed
and there is yet no word of Paul
Redfern, the Georgian aviator who
went into the air at Brunswick last
Thursday for a nonstop flight to
Brazil. There is now no expectation
that he will reach Rio Janiero, but
it is possible that he may have
found a landing place far to the
north. If, as reported the plane was
sighted over the Orinoco river, he
may have been heading for Belem
in the state of Para. about 80 miles
from the Atlantic ocean, or Manaos
in AInazonaS.
Manaos is nearest by direct flight
from the Orinoco and also the
safest as the Negro river Is bOrdered
by considerable open country where
cattle raising is carried on. But
transportation on the river is slow
and. irregular, and there are no
telegraph lines, SO that if the avia-
tor came to earth, he would be iso-
lated probably for a long time. If
compelled to land while cross-cutting
above the famous tropical jungle it
might be a month before he was
able to reach civilization, even if
he were only short distance from
ManaoS or Beletn. -
.Adyices from Belem to the Cor
reio de Mania report that efforts
have been futile to establish whether
Redfern reached the coast of north
ern Brazil. The government radio
stations in the north at Cape
orange and Cachipour have no
word of him, nor was he seen above
