o'clock Sunday morning without any
warning The wound from the opera

nurse, who was in the sleeping room,
suddenly heard him fall to the floor

ly. She rushed into the bathroom and
carried Mr.. Chamberlain unconscious

QUOTA OF CARBON COUNTY CHAPTER RED
CROSS HAS BEEN PLACED AT $500

The citizens of Carbon county have
responded generously to the Red
Cross appeal for funds to relieve the
stricken circumstances of refugees in
the flooded areas of the Mississippi
valley, says Mrs. H. P. Cassidy, chair
man of the Carbon county chapter of
the American Red Cross. Mrs. Cas-
sidy has however, been notified by
the st. Louis district office that upon
a survey of the extent of the disaster
in the flooded area the emergency ST.
tuation now demands that quotas of
all the national Red Cross chapters be
doubled. The quota for the Carbon
county chapter has consequently been
doubled from $500 to 5000.
Mrs. Cassidy reports that through
the generous contributions received
last week she was able to send the
st. Louis office the first quota of
$500 on Monday, and hopes that be-
fore very long she will be able to wire
the district office notifying them that
Carbon county has doubled its quota.
Contributions may be left at the
Model Drug company and at the Car
bon County News office.

Rate of 13 a Week,
Says Counsel.

Appointment of two additional
Judges at Police Court to assist in the
disposal of the jury cases. which are
ICcumulating at the rate Of about Is
4 week. was advocated by W. w.
Bride, the Districts new corporation
counsel.
Since he took Office July 1 Mr.. Bride
has made a determined effort to clear
the Police Court docket OF many of
the old jury cases. some Of which have
been pending az far back as 1917. De-
spite his efforts, ha discovered that
it is practically impossible to make
any impressive Roadway without
more judges to try the cases.
About II jury trials are being as.
signed to the docket each week. &C.
cording to Mr.. Bride, while the court
disposes Of about eight during the
two days set aside for this purpose

disposed of were tried before the Jury,
however, the other either being nolle

GALA NIGHT HELD
FOR BYRD PARTY
Passengers of Leviathan
Give Giant Affair for Five
on Way Home.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
S. S. LEVIATHAN, July 16.-Pas-
sengers America bound made a gala
night with a dinner and dance in
honor of America transatlantic avia-
tors, Comdr. Byrd. Clarence Chamber
lin, Neville, Acosta and Balchen.
With true gallantry Thea Rasche,
the ambitious fraulein. was included
in the passengers acclaim.
United States Senator Thomas j.
Walsh of Montana. in the only speech
of the evening, extolled the aviators.
He declared that aviations triumph
proved that heroes could be recognized
in times of peace better than in times
of war, because their deeds were con-
structive achievements, instead Of de-
structive, and time would prove that
what had been so recently done was
a genuine contribution to the peace
of the world.
Original Verses Sung.
During the dinner original verses
were sung which paid tribute to the
aviators. Miss Hope Hampton, the
American actress, sang You're He
roes Of the Air" composed by Jimmy
McHugh for the occasion. A genuine
demonstration greeted the solo, after
which "Hallelujah Up to Date" by
Miss Charme Seeds, likewise written
for the event. was sung by the diners,
further praising the heroes. The
chorus of McHugh's lyric ran:
Are we proud Of you; do we love you
true;
You're the heroes of the air.
Leaving loved ones home. flying
across the foam,
You're heroes. of the air.
Mister Chamberlain and Byrd, flying
all the news we've heard
What welcome is waiting for you!
With your faithful crew, Levine and
Indy, too,
You're the heroes of the air."
Gives "Hallelujah" Song.
The concluding stanza of Miss Seeds
lyric, to the tune of 'Hallelujah," ran;
"Hallelujah. Hallelujah!
The flying men came home to you,
bring medals to you,
Hallelulah!
Trailing triumphs through the blue
singing and swinging.
And winging through the blue.
Through fog and hail, they fash a
trail
Across the whole wide world for
you"
The mammoth dining hall of the
ship was gaily festooned, and genuine
applause greeted the aviators as Com
| modore Hartley led them in. Carnival
hats and toy balloons gave evidence
Of the spirit Of the nights gayety.
An onslaught upon the aviators for
their autographs was at first endured
| patiently, but was followed by an un
ceremonious and hasty retreat to their
cabins, even unto which they were
| pursued.

the uniforms worn by the men en-
gagged in experimenting them. l there
fore purchased uniforms with this
fund. They were worn for several
weeks by my men, and their practi-
cability was proved beyond a doubt.
Andrews Bars Uniforms.
However, Washington did not seem
to care for such ideas. After some
weeks / received a telegram from
Gen. Andrews, Assistant Secretary of
the Treasury, in charge of prohibition
enforcement. to discontinue the uni
forms at once. Then, the inevitable
investigator arrived to conduct an in
quiry regarding the purchase Of the
uniforms and the "Slush fund"
The Investigator, Coleman, finally
left after telling me l must reimburse
the fund out of my own pocket, and
trying to brighten me into the belief
that / was in serious trouble. Con-
siderable correspondence with Wash.
ington followed. and although my own
investigation showed they had full
knowledge of the fund when it was
originated, the. greatest astonishment
was expressed at its present
existence.
l was ordered to discontinue the
collection. which 1 did, and 1 later
disbursed all the balance in payment
of bills related in some way to the
source of the. fund, such as storage
and automobile labor and repairs. At
no time was there any suggestion the
fund had not been fully and properly
accounted for by the several persons
through whose hands it had passed.

the navigator slept until it was nee
essary to awaken him for an appoint
ment with Gov. Harrington at IL am.
Like other transoceanic flyers,
Smith complained that keeping awake
was one of their greatest difficulties.
I'VE made the flight to prove to the
world that a commercial plane could
accomplish the job, and / think we've
proved that. Every man who flies

Rumors circulating on the Pacific
Coast that the City of Oakland had
been deliberately wrecked, or at least
that landing had been made before
the gasoline was exhausted, were
vigorously denied by Comdr. McComb
Of the naval air station at Pearl
Harbor.
The naval officer declared that to
land in the mud along the shore of
Molokai meant death. and that land
the only alternative.
Comdr. McComb inspected the
wrecked plane yesterday.
He declared, There wasn't a drop
of gasoline left in the tank.
at was dry as a bone. There was
almost no oil left. The flyers made
what l consider the finest piece of
aerial navigation yet made in a
Pacific flight-above the clouds and,
all way down not seeing water, yet
hitting Molokai smack on the nose.
Their landing under the circum-
stances was eXcellently done"
Freed Homing Pigeons.
A compassion for the homing pig
cons the plane was carrying was dis
closed by Bronte as one of the
thoughts uppermost in his mind dur
ing the dangerous final stages Of their
flight.
"I felt sorry for the pigeons" the
navigator related, 80 just before we
landed in that clump Of Kiawe trees,
/ released the last two birds. We re-
leased the first two birds when we
were 800 miles from San Francisco.
Attached to the birds were notes
giving our position.
Yesterday morning when learned
we were running short of gasoline l
decided that the other birds should
have q chance for their liberty. /

to a small cup and hung the cup on

He was to have labeled the tariff
a price-fixing law, the repeal of which
would furnish ample permanent relief
to agriculture in that 1t would lower
the prices of things the farmers have
to buy. Failing to get it repealed,
the farmers alternative, according to
the undelivered speech, was to organ

Before leaving the grounds to board

Various experiments in improving dry

PARIS, July 16.- An Evening Of
Shawls" at the Grand Palace, the
governments exposition building, has
stimulated the vogue for them.
Mannequins from dressmaking
shops paraded with modern shawls,
but also all forms and varities were
displayed. Many dated from the
time of Napoleon, when the beautiful
Mime. de Bourrienne, wife of the
great emporers private secretary,
started the fashion by wearing a

The rage for shawls lasted for sew

had large collections, regarding them
as excellent investments. In 1860 the
shawl went out" Until recently they
were used for all sorts Of decorations,

Disregarded Warning.
I disregarded the warning and con-
tinued trying to do my duty.
In my articles there have been
references to the handicaps under
which prohibition administrators
labor. These exist inside as we'll as
outside the department.
When I relieved Capt. Jesse Thomp-
son as head Of the New Jersey dis
trict, he turned over to me something
like $500 of "slush fund" This
had been created by charging boot
leggcrs whose automobiles were seized
an amount twice the cost of storing
the cars, If the automobiles were re-
leased under bond or by court order.
The receipts were not deposited to
the credit of the Treasurer OF the
United States, but were placed in a
separate account in the name OF the
administrator. The administrator
used the deposits to pay for special
things which were difficult If not i'm
possible to obtain through regular
channels. I took over the fund with
full belief in the legality ofsits origin.
Soon after taking office I conceived
the idea of placing some OF my men
in uniform. At that time prohibition
agents were often mistaken for hi
hackers, and bootleggers made this an
excuse for armed resistance. The
uniform did away with this. and L
also felt that it's use would do much
20 overcome the general aversion to
agents.
Since there was no fund from which
the uniforms could be paid for, L de-
cided to buy them out of the receipts
If tho "sI,1sh fund" 1t seemed to me
nothing could be more appropriate
