The greatest crowd ever assembled
IN LordSburg, N. NJ, gathered there
yesterday morning to pay homage to
the worlds greatest hero, Charles A.
Lindbergh. There were ten thousand
people in the tumultuous throng and
20 cities and towns were represented
with Douglas sending the largest del
egation.
Colonel Lindbergh, flying the spirit
OF ST. Louis" the plane in which he
flew from San Diego to Paris in three
hops, arrived exactly on time at ii
o'clock. The most efficiently handled
crowd of all the great assemblages
which have come together to greet the
flyer, was at the landing field when
the plane descended.
Fifty specially appointed police Of
ficers aided by boy scouts held the
crowd back 1t marked the first land
ing of the hero at which the throngs
did not break through the lines and
surround the plane. The boy scouts
held long rope which fenced off the
crowd and the police officers worked
along the rope in accord with the
scouts.
Willard E. Holt, editor of the Lords
burg Liberal, representing the governor
of New Mexico and the mayor of
Lordsburg, headed the official recep-
ton committee on which Douglas was
represented by James Logic, publisher
of The Dispatch and by John B.
Crowell, cashier of the Bank of Doug
las.
Crowell, in an interview with The
Dispatch upon his return to Douglas
last night, said, II would not have
missed this chance to see Colonel
Lindbergh for anything in the world.
He is the first great man whom I
have ever had the honor of meeting
who completely lived up to my expect
ations. Colonel Lindbergh more than
fulfills the ideal which one has of him
before meeting him. He is beyond
doubt the greatest man of the age"
Little Billy Crowell, son of the
Banker, was overjoyed when he shook
hands with Lindbergh whose career
he has followed carefully since the
great flight was made.
Colonel Lindbergh made brief but
effective address. Spectators COM
mented on the eloquence of the youth
and his clean-cut strength of address
and his simple sincerity. He said in
his talk that the air mail service has
been a pioneer in aviation develop
ment in this country and that it has
served to prove the feasibility of
great commercial air traffic. He urged
the Importance of development and of
the building of landing fields. He
complimented Lordsburg on its very
fine landing field He pointed out that
Lordsburg has set an example to all
the cities of the nation in preparing
with good landing facilities for the
air traffic of the future.

The plane never was sighted, so
far as is definitely known, since it
left Glover field A report that a
similar craft passed near Las Vegas,
Nevada, shortly afterward was dis

the time the plane was reported
sighted it had not had sufficient time
to reach that place.

For Threats.
BELGIUM o. KS
Belgian Senator Makes
Powerful Plea for Dis
armament Efforts.

GENEVA, Sept "a Germany,
once regarded as the greatest military
power in the world, is now disarmed
and calmly awaits for her neighbors
to do likewise, DR.. Gustav StreSe..
mann, the German foreign secretary,
declared tonight in plea from the
rostrum at the assembly of the
league of nations for the speeding up
of preparations for an international
conference for reduction of arma-
ments.
Hitting at former enemies in the
great war, he continued by citing
an incident of citizen who appeared
among peaceful crowd in the
ancient Roman forum armed to the
teeth and who when justifying his
arms on the ground that he feared
he might be attacked, was asked,
''who gave you leave to be so afraid?"
"We in Germany" quietly remarked
the reich leader, "are often tempted
to say that to our neighbors."
DR.. Streseman insisted that arma-
ments could not and should not form
the basis of security, arguing that
their inevitable effect was threat
to other nations. Imploring the dele
gates of more than SO nations to
not shake. the faith of mankind that
a better future will follow the dark
days of the war. He asserted that
the league of nations could not endure
unless the duty of general disarma
rnent was discharged
It was the powerful address of
Senator de Brouckere, socialist par
humanitarian of Belgium, who acted
as reporter for the disarmament COM
mittee, which challenged the most
attention today. With years OF ex-
perience in the leagues disarmament
efforts he solemnly warned his hear
ers that the road to success would
be long and perilous. Yet he elo-
quently painted a picture of fervent,
faith that the goal will finally be
reached.
q do not say that peace now is
assured" he exclaimed. "I do not
say that the wolves of war have
ceased bowling in the forests but
I do say, that under the auspices
of the league, forces are being or.
ganized which will clear the forests
some part Of our hopes and that the
number of men of good will in all
countries is steadily increasing"
He emphasized, however, that the
slowness of the disarmament was
causing murmurs of the people to
grow louder and louder and declared
that the multitudes are determined

considered a matter for the nation
al organization to handle.
The endorsement of the candi-

NEWARK, N. j., Sept. "a R-So
far as we can see, the industrial out
look is encouraging and there is no
present, reason to assume that the
control station companies will not con-
tinue to have steadily increasing
volume of business.
Taking the activities of the Public
Service and Gas company as baro-
meter we are justified in believing
that there will be continued growth in
demands for electric power and for
increased use of gas for industrial
processes. During the first eight
months of 1927 our company has add
ed to its electric lines total of 3d.
$50 horsepower which presents a gain
of approximately 10 per cent. August
is usually regarded as the quietest
month of the year, industrially speak
ing, but even in that month we in
creased our power load and each week
showed a slightly larger gain than
the preceding week.. We also made
substantial gains in the sales of gas for
industrial uses.
We are proceeding with confidence
in the future.

school will be high point winner
this year.
The Douglas schools have some
very fine exhibits again and these
will all be ready for mounting
Tuesday of this week. Every school
in the district is placing some ex-
hibit at the fair.
The A avenue school which al
ways has splendid exhibit will
show in miniature the new tourist
hotel which will be built soon in
Douglas. The children of all the
grades of this building are con-
tributing to this project and it is
said that it will be a real attrac-
tiOn to all fair visitors. If the
project can be shipped it may be
used as subject at the teachers
institute in NOgales next month.
The teachers are directing the
work but the children are doing
the actual construction of the

Other projects will be exhibited BY
