De AUTREMONT TRIO
BEHIND PRISON BARS
Three Brothers, Convicted of Muir
der in Hold-up, Enter Upon
Life Sentences.

BY the Associated Press.
SALEM, Greg, June 25.-Prison
gates closed on the three DE Autfe-
mont brothers here yesterday as they
began serving life sentences for four
murders committed in the Siskiyou
Mountain train hold-up of October,
1923.
While they were being put through
penitentiary routine and given their
prison garb, they were hanged in
effigy in Ashland, not far from the
scene of the crime which each of the
brothers confessed.
Popular feeling at Ashland, home of
Charles o. Johnson, Southern Pacific
brakeman, who was one of the four
men killed in the hold-up, stirred sew
eral hundred citizens to participate in
a hanging bee, in which dummies
labeled, Ray, Roy and Hugh were
strung up. Ashland people were in
dignant because the .rothers had es-
capped death sentences.
On their way to the prison from the
train the brothers consented to be
photographed. Ray interposed one
condition--that one of the pictures be
sent to his wife, Hazel de Autre-
mont, at Hanging Rock, Ohio.
Their minds freed from the burden
of the secret they had carried for
nearly four years during which they
eluded the law, the brothers dis
cussed their crime with the officers
who brought them from Jacksonville.
Their carefree spirit vanished, how
ever. when they entered the peniten-
tiary gate.

BUS COMPANY PROBE
ASKED BY CITIZENS
Careful Study Before Action Is
Taken ON Fare Increase
Urged by Committee.

The public utilities committee of the
Federation of Citizens Associations
filed a brief with the Public Utilities
Commission today urging that care
full investigation be made of the
affairs of the Washington Rapid
Transit Co. before action is taken on
its application for authority to charge
fat 10-cent cash fare.
If the commission be hesitant about
making the investigation. the commit
tee said it is ready to offer the service
Of an organization of specialists that
will make an impartial report on the
condition of the bus company's affairs
together with a valuation and a
recommendation for a solution of the
unfortunate situation"
The brief explained that the COM
pany under it's former management
and under less favorable operating
conditions was able to make a profit.
Moreover, it was declared that the
company's depreciation fund is wholly
out of proportion with the rate of de-
probation allowed other transporta-
ton companies in the District.
Salaries paid the president and
counsel of the company in comparison
with those received by similar Off
Gals with the street railway COM
panies. which, it was pointed out,
have a larger number of employees,
also were criticized in the brief.

substitute bus service was unani.
mously adopted by the Brightwood

cial session in Holy Comforter Parish
Hall last night.
The resolution was adopted follow
ing an address opposing such a move
and the introduction of motion to
that effect by William Mex. Clayton,
chairman of the public utilities com
mittee of the Federation of Citizens
Associations. He urged the members
of the BrightWood Association to APP
pear at the hearing on the applica-
ton of the Capital Traction Co. for
the change before the Public Utilities
Commission Monday morning.
"Ten-cent Fare"
Mr.. Clayton declared the street car
companies are in favor of bus service
because it enables them to charge Z
cents for q transfer, thus "establish-
ing what amounts to a 10-cent fare.
The committee on coming. l.. r.

resolution, introduced by John
Clagett Proctor, favoring a $1.50-per-
800 tax rate for the District of Co
lumbia during the years 1928 and
1929. Such tax. Mr., Proctor de-
clared, would amount to $3.50 or So

are levied based on 40 and 90 per
cent property valuations. Copies Oh
the resolution are to be sent to the
District Commissioners and the Fed
Grafton of Citizens Associations.

FLOOD ZONE SPIRIT
PRAISED BY HOOVER
Rehabilitation Work in Mis-
sissippi Valley Area Pro-
crosses Rapidly.

By the Associated Press.
ST. LOUIS, June 25.-Rehabilita.
ton of the floodswept areas of the
Mississippi Valley rapidly is being &C,
complished and the victims are taking
hold of the work with a splendid
spirit.
This was the declaration of Secre-
tary Herbert Hoover, who passed
through here late last night en- route
to the flooded section, where he will
conduct a survey to determine the
financial status of the rehabilitation
work under way there.
The Secretary also plans to further
the organization of credit agencies,
which have been formed for the relief
of flood victims, whose capital and
holdings were wiped out during the
recent overflow.
Accompanying Mr.. Hoover were
James L. Fieser, vice chairman OF
the American Red Cross, who will
make check on the relief work
which has been accomplished by that
organization. and George Akerson,
the Secretary's assistant.
The party left for Little Rock, Ark,
and from there will go to New Or
leans and Jackson, Miss. The trip
probably will require 10 days.
Secretary Hoover said it would be
impossible to determine just how
much money would be necessary to
complete rehabilitation work in the
area until a thorough check of liza
bilities incurred had been made and
survey completed of the work that
remains to be done.
He expressed belief that flood relief
measures of some kind would be
enacted at the next session of
Congress.

PARIS, June 25.-Col. Charles
A. Lindbergh is likely to be hon.
ored in France for his transat-
lantic flight from New York to
Paris in much the same manner
as the late President Wilson, by
having streets named for him.
Rue Lindbergh'' may become as
common as many Avenues Presi-
dent Wilson"
Many towns and cities are TAX.
ing steps to this end. but the City
Of Quimperle, in Brittany. popula-
ton 10000, is the first to dedicate
a street to the American flyer.
Lindbergh was asked for permits
sion to name the street after him
and he agreed. with a promise to
visit Quimperle when he made his
next visit to France.
1t is likely that Paris or Cher
bourg, the places where the con-
queror of the Atlantic landed and
left France, will be next in naming
a street or square for him.

Two Preparing for Flight to
Hawaii to Go to Starting
Point Today.

By the Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO. June 2T.-Pros-
poets II : the Army would IL the first
to hop off in an attempt to bridge the
Pacific by ir to Honolulu received
impetus when word was received here
that Lieuts. Lester J. Maitland and
Albert Hegenberger. who are planning
the trip, would hop off from San Diego
today for San Francisc- starting no!nt
of the flight.
No indication was given a. to When
the Honolulu start would be made, but
observers of the many flight prepare
tions declared it possible that the
Army flyers would be able to head for
Hawaii by next Tuesda;.
Smith Barred From Field.
The race for first start on the flight
over the Pacific Ocean between San
Francisco and Honolulu apparently
narrowed down today to a contest be-
tween Ernest G. Smith of San Fran
cisco, Richard Grace, who plans to hop
off from Honolulu, and the two Army
aViators.
Smiths plans received a setback
yesterday when Army officials barred
him from Crissy Field, the Army avi-
alton center here. They refused even
to let him take off there on flight to
the Oakland municipal airport. His
hackers quickly obtained permission tn
use the Oakland municipal ar heid
however and announced that the
plane would be transferred there in
sections. Smith hopes to start next
Tuesday or Wednesday,.
Walter f. Parkin of the Depart
ment of Commerce has been sent here
from Los Angeles to inspect Smith
plane after Milo d. Kent, chairman
of the committee arranging for the
proposed San Francisco-Honolulu
flight, asked the Government to pre-
vent Smiths flight on the ground
that his plane is secondhand. NO
announcement thus far has been made
regarding his plans.
Navy May Try Hop.
Grace. accompanied by Lieut.. Els
ton b. Roger of the United States
Naval Reserve, was met by Comdr.
Wilmington B. McComh on his arrival
in Honolulu, and departed imme-
diately for the Pearl Harbor Naval
Station.
Presence of the naval officers
started a rumor there that Roger
would be the flyer to hop off on the
mainland flight, IN an EFFORT 10 WIN
for the Navy the honor Of making
the first nonstop flight from Hawaii
to the mainland.
Lieut. Roger denied the rumor
fatty, insisting that Grace, whom he
styled 1.-The flyer with the broken
neck" would make the attempt alone.
Roger said he would perfect the plane
mechanically. Grace's hop-off Is under
stood to be scheduled about July j.
Grace said he would take off from a
runway specially constructed on the
seashore near Barking Sands, on the
Island Of Maui.
Davis Gives Permission.
Lieuts Maitland and Albert F.
Hegenberger yesterday obtained per-
mission for the attempt from Secre-
tary of War Davis.
Secretary Davis announced that the
fight would be put down in the Army
records as the Golden Hawaiian
Flight"
Davis said the flight would be at.
tempted within the next few weeks
the exact time depending on weather
conditions and a check-up of final
tests of navigation instruments on the
three.motored CO Fokker monoplane.

NEW YORK, June 25.--The mid

that the lake disturbance will swing
