the neck and knocked him down.
Dombrowski kicked him In the face

Storm Not Bad

New York. Aug. II tPt-Dr. James
H. Kimball of the weather bureau
announced at one O'Clock today that
for Rome this afternoon it would
have to pass through two low pres
sure areas over the ocean, but these
areas were not very bad.
Atmospheric conditions over the
rest of the course, he said, seemed to
be good for flying. West winds were
prevailing, according to reports of
ships at sea.
The low pressure or storm areas
were off Newfoundland and off Ire
land. The first could be avoided by
taking a southern course along the
steamer lanes instead of the great
circle course, but the latter was said
to extend SO far north and south that
it would have to be passed through
whatever the course.
A rumor cropped up today that
Philip Payne, managing editor of the
Daily Mirror and director of the
flight for William Randolph Hearst,
its financial hacker, intended to ride
as passenger in the plane.

tended all along to make trip but
had planned to reveal his intention
only at the last moment, following
