With 80 banks still to be heard
from. officials of the Potomac Electric
Power Co. predicted a large over
subscription for the new $4,000
51z per cent preferred stock, which
was placed on the market yesterday.
The issue is being handled through
banks, trust companies and several
investment houses, and it will. of
course, be several days before definite
figures will be available. While it is
a 51a per cent stock, it is the equiva-
lent of per cent to Washington resi-
dents, as they will not have to pay
tax on it.

Rejoicing in Europe

In England and France people
chered the word that the American
girl flier had escaped the death
which met the only other women
who have attempted overseas avi-
ation--Miss Mildred Doran, who
was lost en- route to Honolulu, and
the Princess Lowenstein-Werth
lost flying to New York from Eng
land in the airplane st. Raphael.
But it was in the United States
that it brought the greatest joy.
In Admission, Ala, where Miss Ell
der's mother was in collapse from
nervousness over her daughters
venture, Miss Elders father sud-
denly walked to his wife's bedside
and announced:
Mother, Ruth is saved"
There was a scene of great re-
joicing.
In New York Mrs. George Halde-
man, wife of the pilot, wept with
happiness.
In Balboa, Canal Zone, Lyle, Wo-
mack, husband of Miss Elder, heard
with Joy the news given him by the
United Press and asked the corre-
spondent to radio worlds of love
to the bravest girl in the world"
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1927-10-14
Future Plans in Doubt

Exactly what Miss Elders imme-
diate plans may be remained in
definite. Presumably she hardly
knows herself. Her first task is to
get ashore. Then, when she lands
in the Azores, she either can return
to the United States or go on to
Paris.
Vaudeville and motion picture
contracts, said to be worth a fortune,
are reported awaiting her. All the
glories which can fail to a girl
through daring and courage-par-
ticularly when that girl has SIM
plicity ard beauty and personality
as added assetS-can be hers.
Ruth Elder may have ended her
amazing venture on the poop deck
of the vallowing, poky Dutch tramp
tanker in mid-ocean.
But its gri1ny deck has become for
her throne, on which she rests
glorified-with untold tributes at her
feet.

Great Skill Is Shown

They had accomplished their re-
-markable feat of aerial navigation
aided only by a magnetic and an
earth inductor compass. Sidereal
and solar observations, such as are
used by mariners on the surface of
the ocean, instead of in the air
above it, were impossible.
Probably the full story of Miss
Elders experience cannot be known
until the Barendrecht reaches the
Azores. The Barendrecht is a small
vessel and its radio has short range.
The message of Captain Coos to
the United Press had to be sent by
him to the -Bayaono, a small steam
er near by; thence relayed to the De-
vizes radio station, and then was
forwarded by cable to the United
Press, New York. Other messages
had to follow a similar route.
But the news which did get
through was sufficien to thrill two
continents.

HooSier Parents Wait

BIZ United Press
RICHMOND, Ind, Oct. 14.-An
anxious father and mother waited
here today for further word from
the Navy Department of their son,
Second Lieutenant Earl A. Thomas
of this city and companion, Ser
geant Frank Dowdall, Carbondale,
Ind, whose airplane crashed last
week in a infested region OF
Nicaragua.
Mr.. and Mrs. Clarence Thomas
are the lieutenant's parents. Their
son enlisted in the Marines about
three years ago, was sent to an Off
GERS training school and received
his commission two years later,
About the time he received his COM
mission he was given leave to visit
MI. and Mrs. Thomas here before
going to Nicaragua. They have not
heard from him for several weeks.
He is a graduate of Morton High
SCHOOL,
United Press dispatches gave Mr..
and Mrs. Thomas the latest intelli-
gence concerning their son. 1t was
meager, relating to the attempt of
an American-coin commanded unit of
the Nicaraguan guard to reach the
spot, near Quilali, there Thomas
airplane was last seen. No details
of the crash were available.

INDICT REMUS
AS MURDERER
Slayer Thanks Deputy Who
Brings Him Copy.
BIZ United Press

By United Press
CINCINNATI, Ohio. Oct. 14.-An
indictment charging him with the
murder of his estranged wife, Inlo-
gene, was returned today against
George Remus, one time millionaire
bootlegger.
The fatal shooting of Mrs. Ren1us
took place Oct. 6, a few hours be-
fore her divorce petition was to
have been heard in court here.
The indictment was served on
Remus in the county Jail and ar
rangements Immediately we're made
for his arraignment tomorrow.
Judge Chester r. Shook, tentatively
has, set the date of trial for the first
week in November, but Prosecutor
Charles P. Taft planned to ask a
delay of one week.
When Fred Sperberg, chief dep
uty, reached the cell, Reli1us greet
ed him and said: THANK you" as
he took the copy of the indictment.
Lets see," said Remus as he
opened the paper, "this is a chargS
of first degree murder. I'll be down
in court tmoorrow. I am glad to
have met you and hope we meet
under different circumstances some
other time"

Sailors Are Amazed

For seven hours during the night
they had struggled with storms
which blew them from their course
-and not only did they remain
aloft and cheat the sea, but they
beat their way back TO their route
and when found were flying
straight toward Paris.
Then, in the midst of all of this
a little copper tube, about the
diameter of a pencil and only a
few feet long-the oil feed pipe
broke from the vibration of their
pounding motor and struggling
plane which was driving against
the wind.
For hours they flew, without oil
pressure. They had but one course
to keep flying straight ahead until
either they should sight land, or a
ship-or until the engine should
heat to such intensity that the
plane might catch fire and drop
them into the sea to drown or
burn.
Haldeman, it was believed, was
at the controls. With Miss Elder
beside him, they plunged on and
on. Then, at 1890 a. m. yesterday
they sighted the slow-rolling. plod-
ding OLD Dutch tanker.
What thoughts were in their
minds as Holdeman circled the
ship and brought the American
Girl down in safety at its side only
can be imagined.

Home Town '0verioyed

ANNISTON, Ala, Oct. 14.-Calm
after its almost hysterical outburst
when Ruth Elder was reported saved
yesterday, Admission today made
plans for a great civic reception for
its daughter when she returns from
abroad.
Citizens held a demonstration OF
Joy last night, but the Mr.. and Mrs.
j. o. Elder declined to participate.
They we're too overwhelmed with
relief to join, they said.
"She was so eager to get to Paris" J"
said Elder today. "I am glad to see
she probably will get there, even If
she has to go the rest of the way by
boat instead of by air.
when she was here in August,
she said she wanted to spend three
or four weeks in Europe, visiting
places of interest.
"Of course, she wanted to make 1t
by air, but she's safe, and that's
enough to satisfy u.s."

Canal Zone to Be Home

BALBOA, Canal Zones, Oct A.
Ruth Elder plans to live in the
Canal Zone with her husband, Lyle
Womaek, electrical supplies sales
man, he said today.
Through the United Press
Womack cabled the following mes
sage to his wife aboard the Dutch
Tanker Barendrecht:
Your wire received. Worlds OF
love to the bravest girl in the world
Anxiously awaiting your return
Lyle"
At 3:25 p. m. yesterday Womack
received a cablegram from his wife
telling him of her safety. Both
safe. Love-" it read.
II am sorry she didn't reach
Paris, so long as that was where
she started for, but I am glad she
was picked up and I wouldn't have
cared if she had been picked up at
Sandy Hook"
Askd if he would try to dissuade
his wife from future flights
Womack said: THAT depends on
her. She's a real flier. But I've
been through seventeen hells on ac-
count of this flight. I did every
thing possible to dissuade her from
it."
Womack said he had flown often
with his wife, including an hour
and as minutes in the American
Girl.
"Haldeman is a wonderful pilot,
Womack added, land a fine man
as good as they make them"
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1927-10-14

of salvaging the plane. 1t was
brought near to the tanker-and
then came the final tragedy.
AS it was being salvaged in the
tossing seas, a tank of gasoline ex-
plodsd. In a moment the plane
which had carried the two so far
was burning, and before their eyes
it was destroyed.
The rugged fare of a tramp" oil
tanker was shared with Miss Elder
and Haldeman and they were given
rest.
The plane lost, there was moth
ing-to do but go on and the Barren
drecht headed toward Horta, chief
port of the Azores Islands. There it
should arrive tomorrow.
That is the story told by the ra-
diagrams which came to the United
Press from aboard the Barren
drecht during the night.
There. was fear at the time of
the start that the American Girl
might be unable to fly through the
