Some Time This Week

New York. May 24.--tE)--A flight
to Paris "for the purpose Of scicn-
tific and practical observation" will
be made by Commander Richard Z.
Byrd in the monoplane America.
Commander Byrd and Grover A..
Whalen, vice president Of the Trans

plane, said in a joint statement the
successful flight from New York to
Paris by Captain Charles A. Lind

their plans.
The polar flyer is continuing his
preparations to hop off from Roose-
welt Field, Long Island. in the triple

tenant George o. Neville and Lieu
tenant Acosta. Bird has tentatively
figured on starting some time this
week.
! "The flight was planned for scien-
tific purposes said Whalcn. "Lind-
bergh's achievement, great as it was,
has not lessened the need for scien-
tific data on transatlantic flying.
Byrd said that Rodman Wanna
maker, president Of the company and
chief backer of the project, had no
desire to detract from the glory of
Lindbergh, but felt that plans for
the Americas dash to Europe had
progressed too far TO be abandoned.

$4,000 BOND
ISSUE BEATEN
AT DICKINSON
Opponents of Money Expendi-
ture For WaterWOrks Win
BY 50 Votes

Dickinson, n. D., May 24.--t Special
to The Tribunr)--By a margin Of so
votes, citizens Of Dickinson Yesterday
defeated plan to spend $4,000 for
installation of additional equipment
at the waterworks plant.
With only about 40 per cent of the
city's voters turning out for the spe-
cial election, total of 1873 votes was
cast: 394 against the proposition and
344 for it.
Following a summer when a short
age of water occurred, the city COM
mission took steps toward promotion
of a more adequate system and the
special election was called.
The amount of money asked for was
to have. been spent for new wells,
pumps and machinery. as we'll as a
reservoir and other items. 1t was
prepared to issue the bonds in denom-
nations of $1,000 each, payable one
eighteenth each year for 10 years,
with interest at the rate of five per
cent. payable semi-annually.
The general apathy of voters was
regarded as surprising, inasmuch as
the argument over. the proposed bond
issue was bitter. Supporters of the
plan contended that at least $4,000
was necessary to give the city q sup
ply adequate at all times, whilN in
opponents claimed that an efficient
plant could be built for half that
amount.

Paris, May 24.-(F)--A decree Of
divorce was granted today to the
Princess Galatzine, formerly Aimee
Crocker. California heiress.
The court upheld completely her
contention that Prince Mistislav Gal
atzine. whom she married here in
September, 1925, had deceived her
and maintained intimate relations
with other women.
The prince, against whom the find
ings of the court ran throughout,
must pay the entire cost of the suit
and will not receive the $125 month
"alimony' which he claimed.
The five-times married Aimee
Crocker petitioned for a divorce from
the youthful Russian nobleman on
grounds Of infidelity and abandon

The prince opposed the suit, charg-
ing that the marriage was purely
commercial one, animated by the
American woman's desire to become
a princess. The prince said he mar
ried for financial settlement and
on condition that the union be one
in name only. His counsel read a
