undertaken.

attended and the comrades were en-
thusiastic in entering upon the tasks
outlined by the Central Committee

lows: Comrade Lovestone, New York;
VIM. F. Dunno, Boston; VIM. w. Vein

At each of these meetings Central
Committee representatives both at the
district executive committees and AZ

or a united labor ticket campaign for

GOES OVER

The trial Of Policeman Harry G..
Fuchs, Of the Police Repair shop,
charged with falsifying his age in
order to receive an appointment,
was continued today by the Police
Trial Board because Of q crowded
calendar.
Fuchs was appointed to the force
five years ago. and it was not until
three months ago that the Civil
Service Commission was advised
through an anonymous communica.
ton that he was % years old and
not % as he said.
Because of the length OF time
which has elapsed since his appoint
ment, he cannot be tried for
perjury. He was charged with con.
duct prejudicial to the good order
Of the Police Department.
To subStantiate the age given at
the time Of his appointment, the
accused policeman filed with the
Civil Service Commission an az.
fdavit. sworn to by his mother.
claiming that his age was correct
as given.
The Civil Service Commission said
that its investigation has revealed
that Fuchs gave his age az two

ing the thick Of the fray the auto.

three miles before she was picked
up by two passing girls and brought
home. The sum she asks by way
of compensation Is SIS 900 per mile
for her walk back from the ride.

and Seventy-fifth st., New York
city, was here In Washington on
q visit.

BRINGS RENEWED HOPE

Renewed hope that Paul Redfern may

EN- to the wife and friends of

The news was communicated i'm
mediately to the young wife of the
aviator. who has been staying with
friends here since her husband
hoped off at l2:49 p. m., Thursday,
for Brazil
Redfern's plotted course, however,
did not carry him over Venezuela,
and if the airplane reported sighted
there was not Port of Brunswick, the
aviator had been blown off his course
y few hundred miles to the westward.
Redfern's mapped schedule called
for his passage over the Grenada is
lands and to town Of st. George Fri
day morning. A stretch Of 489 miles
Of water then should have brought
him over the Tobago islands, 489
miles from continental land.
Friday afternoon he expected to
reach near Port of Spain, isle of
Trinidad, and Friday night he hoped
to pass over the continent through
Dutch Guiana, but if he encountered
severe head winds he would have
been held back possibly until Satur-
day morning before entering South
America.

Illinois University
Journalism School
Will Open Sept. Is

Chicago, Aug. 29.-1P)-:Opcning Of
the new University of Illinois School
Of Journalist. at Uybana, September
Is. was announced here today- by
Lawrence A. Murphy, Nwho will head
the school as acting director.
This opening will be in compliance
with the intent Of the last general
assembly which appropriated $780,
600 for the new school. Acting nj
rector Murphy made the announce
ment from the Medill School Of
Journalism, which he has been direct
ing this summer in the absence Of
Director II. F. Harrington. His ap-
pointment will work no change at the
University Of Illinois, inasmuch as
he has been serving there several
years past as director of the courses
in Journalism, in the college OF
Liberal arts.
Opening of the new school will
have this effect, chiefly, that from
now on the University will be pre-
pared to award Bachelor Of Arts and
Master Of Arts degrees in Journalism.
Organization work will proceed
throughout the year, until q perma-
nent staff is determined upon, Mr..
Murphy said. Besides the appropria-
ton by the legislature, the school has
$4,000 additional in the treasury Of
the old journalism department.
Mr.. Murphy is well known among
journalism instructors as editor Of
THE Journalism Bulletin the pub
lication Of the national organization
of teachers and schools of journalism.
and as director Of the national
Franklin contest for weekly news
papers, and the Bowles national con-
test for small dailies.
"The first purpose Of the Univers-
lity School Of Journalism" he said.
would be to serve the newspapers OF
Illinois. Training in magazine and
advertising work will be a secondary
purpose. Country journalism will be
taught as well as city journalism"
He indicated it was the intention
to limit the school to an enrolment
Of $50, which is about the number
of journalism students in school last
year.

FLYERS FATE
IS SHR0UDED
IN MYSTERY
Nothing Heard from u. S.-tO.
Brazil Aviator Since He
Left Thursday
FUEL MUST BE ALL GONE
Severe Gales off East Coast
Of Bahamas Cause Fear
for His Safety
FUEL MUST BE ALL GONE

Brunswick, Ga, Aug. 29.-GP)--Ths
fate of Paul Redfern remained
shrouded in mystery today as the
hours continued to mount with no
news from the intrepid flyer who
winged his way ont over the Atlantic
last Thursday on his perilous venture
to Brazil.
The green and gold monoplans,
Port Of Brunswick" hours ago had
been forced down in its iournev by
the exhaustion Of fuel if Redfern
even then had escaped tropical dis
turbance along his route. The flyer
carried fuel for SO hours flying and
this supply would have been depleted
about the middle o. Saturday after
noon at the latest.
Severe Gales Reported
Apprehension for his safety was In
creased Saturday night when reports
were received from aviators return
ing to Miami That severe gales had
been experienced off Hopetown.
Great AbacO, on the eastern fringe
of the Bahamas. Redfern had mapped
out course which would have placed
him in the path Of this moderate
storm had he followed his schedule.
Its intensity, according to the belief
Of the Miami pilots, led to the COM
clusion that Redfern might have been
forced from his path and in so do
ing may have made an error in reck-
oning his position.
Faint hopes are entertained here
that Redfern, when his gasoline gave
out. may have landed on the water or
possibly near some island along his
route either near the Bahamas or
somewhere in the Caribbean Sea. The
plane was constructed to keep afioat
for a considerable time, and the
chances are declared to be far more
favorable for his rescue on the water
than: II he had been forced down
within the jungles or mountainous
recesses of South America.
The. fact that the plane was not
sighted.~at any time, although ri
course lay over portion Of the
Caribbean frequented by steamers
and over the sea lanes between the
two continents. gave rise to the be-
lief that Redfern had not proceeded
that far on his journey.

BILL
BIG FACTOR IN
1927 TAX LEVY
Substantial Levy Necessary
to Pay Interest on States
Outstanding Bonds

How much Of the states anuuAl
interest bill Of $1,727.693.75 must be
paid with money raised by taxation
will have an important bearing on
the state tax levy which will be fixed
in the near future by the state board
of equalization, according to mem-
bers of that body.
Regardless of whether levy ID
made this year to keep the state real
estate bond payment fund at a
point where everyone will agree it is
in good condition, it is inevitable
that a substantial levy must be made
to pay interest on other bonds. ac-
cording to figures presented to the
equalization board by State Auditor
John Steen.
Interest on the real estate bonds,
sold to raise money to loan to farm
ers with their land as security. now
totals $780, ,443.75 annually. the to-
tai amount of these bonds outstand-
ing on July l of this year being
SCI. 6.858,50O. In addition to this in
terest item the state nays 100000
year on the Bank of North Dakota
capital stock bonds, $172,OOO year
on the mill and elevator construction
bonds and $S6,250 on the mill and ele.
vator operating bonds. The interes,
rate on all of the various bonds
issues ranges from 4 IL, to s pei
cent.
Levies to Date
Interest levies 70 date total $4,.
008, 8,805.16, having been continuous
since 1919 with the single exception
of the year 1920. Of the grand total
$500, ,456.66 has been levied to pay
interest on real estate bonds. the
last levy for that purpose having been
made in 1924. Levies totaling $706,'
934.72 have been made to pay inter
est on Bank Of North Dakota bonds
and 100000 to build up fund to re-
tire the bank bonds when they be-
come due. A million dollars Of these
bonds will be due and payable July
