A new world speed record for sea
Lieut.. Rutledge Irvine, who was cred

flew over the course in 4 hours and A

fourth world record broken by naval

FIRST TRIP IS MADE
BY JOLTLESS' TRAIN
Sudden Starts and Stops Declared
Eliminated by Roller Bear
ings on Coaches.
By the Associated Press,

-
CHICAGO, May 21.-Travelers of
the future may not experience the ex.
asperation of having their soup jolted
over their shirtfronts as their trains
jerk to start. Neither will they be
jolted from a sound sleep as the en-
gineer brings his train to a stop, if
the adaptation of the roller bearing to
passenger coaches becomes general.
One Western railroad, the Chicago,
Milwaukee & st. Paul, has one com.
plete roller bearing train, the Pioneer,
operating between Chicago and st.
Paul, which made it's first trip, so
equipped, today.
Officials of the Milwaukee, which
has been experimenting with roller
bearing coaches two years, say the in.
novation will eliminate jerky starts
and stops and. make travelling "as
smooth as velvet. They expect to
have II Of their passenger trains
equipped with roller bearings within
two months, and several OF the fast
freights will be so equipped.
Not only do such bearings make
smoother travel, but they enable
roads to carry more cars at less trac.
tive effort. the Milwaukee officials say.
A locomotive that could haul IL cars
of the old friction bearing can pull
II with roller bearings.
Hot boxes" caused by friction
igniting the oiled cotton packing in
the wheel boxes are said to disappear
when roller bearings are installed.

which Nungesser had expected to

It was in the waters north of Cape
Sable that Lieut.. Buskin himself had
the great disappol ltment Of his search.

floating on the surface" he said, when
a floating object. My heart jumped
and crew. We were all greatly ex-
part of the floating ship, with a bare
possibility that one of the aviators
might yet be living.
THE Tampa made swiftly for the
object, but when we got close enough
we found it was only a derelict, an old
fishing boat"
Lieut.. Buskin explained how the
Tampa had continued the search until
she was regularly relieved on the ice
patrol and airplane search by her sis
ter ship. the Modoc. The Tampa then
made for her base at Halifax, where
she must return to refuel, and Lieut..
Buskin came to Washington on
business.
Lieut.. Comdr. Yeandle said the
Coast Guard vessels would continue
searching and said it was not impos.
sible that some sign OF the craft, or
even the bodies of the men, in case
they were detached from their plane,
might yet be picked up.

PRESIDENT NAMES
TWO NEW JUR|STS
Judge Hand Is Also Elevated
to Circuit Court of
Appeals.

Appointment of two of the seven
additional Federal judges authorized
by the last Congress, to relieve court
congestion caused by prohibition
cases, was announced yesterday at
the White House. At the same time
the President elevated Judge Angus.
tus n. Hand of the southern New
York district to the bench of the
Second Judicial Circuit Court of APP
peals, which embraces New York
Connecticut and Vermont. Judge
Hand fills the vacancy caused by the
death of Judge Charles M. Hough.
1t was expected the five other
judgeships would be filled within the
next 4S hours. The two new ap-
pointees are Simon Adler Of Roches-
ter, N. Y, who was named an addi-
tional Judge for the Western district.
and Frederick III. Byrant of Ma
lone. n. Y. an additional judge for
the States northern district. No
announcement was made at the
White House regarding successor
to Judge Hand on the District bench.
In naming the two additional Dis
trict judges, President Coolidge car
ried out his announced intention Of
making such selections If crowded
dockets warranted immediate appoint
ments. In most of the districts where
additional judges were authorized,
however. he has indicated he will
withhold selections until he can send
nominations to the Senate at the De
cember session.

CALL EXPECTED

campaign over the whole disaster
zone would require additional nurses,

Florida were asked to report what
nurses were available for this serv.
ice, National headquarters announced
yesterday.
Responding to the call, State com.
mittees overnight reported 95 nurses
available, with other committees to
be heard from. Dayton reported g.,

There is no serious epidemic, or
other health conditions, it was en-
phasized, but the routine requirements
of the refugees, such as babies born
in the camps, local outbreaks among
children, beside nursing and ordinary
health work are occupying the nurses
now on duty. An extensive campaign
of preventive health work Is under
way throughout the disaster zone, and
with the possibility of other refugees
and camps being added to those al.
ready under the Red Cross. A fur

BRITAIN WELCOMES
FRENCH LEADERS
Visit of President and For
eign Minister CIasSed as
Unprecedented.
BY A. G. GARDINER.

DJ IduiU W 4He StdT.
LONDON, May 21.-The visit OF
the French President and Foreign
Minister BRAND in London and Ok
ford this week has been a brilliant
success and the warmth of the well
come here, in which the King took
a conspicuous part, has evoked an
unusual note of friendfiness in the
French press. just what political
significance attaches itself to this
visit Is a matter of speculation and
public opinion Is disposed to asso-
ciate the event with the consequences
of the much discussed raid on the
premises of ARGOS, the Russian trad
ing agency.
May F0reshadow Surprise.
This quite unprecedented affair as
sumes character of extreme gravity
and the postponement of govern
ment explanation until next Tues.
day is taken to foreshadow momen-
tous decisions. While the govern
ment failed to discover the stolen
war office document which was
the nominal grounds for the raid,
opinion prevails in we'll formed
circles that other documents Of capi.
tai import have been found throwing
light on some notorious propaganda
from Russia against the world inter.
ests of England.
The impression gains ground that
the government has arrived at the
conclusion that drastic steps are neces-
sary and that not only is abrOgation
of the trade agreement with Russia
contemplated. but that a breach of
diplomatic relations is possible.
BRAND Held Important Factor.
Minister Brands presence in Lon.
don this week Is understood to have
an important bearing on the course of
the governments action.
Another subject on which BRAND
and Sir Austen Chamberlain, foreign
minister, are understood to have con.
ferred Is the agenda of the coming
League Council, in regard to which it
is expected that Germany may raise
the question of evacuation of the
Rhineland coupled with the demili-
tarization zone.

THREAT MADE TO CUT LEvEE.

perate Move at McCrea.

BATON ROUGE, La, May 81 R.--
Unnamed parties tonight were at

bank of the Atchafalaya River, oppo.
site McCrea, scene Of the principal
fight to save the east side from inun'
dation. according to a naval radio
message received here tonight from

The cut if effected would cause
great damage" the message said, and
the men there were too exhausted to
prevent the carrying out of the threat.
Immediate aid was requested. In
response 10 guardsmen were dis
patched from Organza, abuot ID miles
away.
The radiogram did not state whether
an attempt TO cut the levees had al
ready been made or was about to be
made. 1t has been rumored that
McCrea has been strongly in favor

that McCrea would be saved. -

representative of the National Capital.
Any street that Is lined with the resi-
dences of the representatives Of for
eign nations and leads to the White
House certainly should be guarded
carefully against all manner of un.
esthetic uses.
Sixteenth street has developed
definitely into a thoroughfare which is
more and more identified with the so.
cial life of the National Capital. Along
it's broad expanse stand many Of the
embassies and legations of other coun.
tries, hotels which number among
their guests many persons prominent
in official and social circles, as we'll
as the homes of those who are play

And, there the arguments of both
sides stand.
Unquestionbly, there is merit in
both contentious. but those living In
t e area served by Sixteenth street,
though not on it. and those whose real
estate and other developments are
near the thoroughfare but not a d.
rect part of it, believe that neither

breaking disillusionment was described
yesterday by Lieut.. j. J. Buskin, navi-
gator of the Tampa, who is in Wash

The Tampa, situated more than
900 miles distant from New York. off
Cape Race, Newfoundland, was the
spearhead of the great army of those
who, from ships and from land, were
eagerly waiting for first glimpse of
the daring aviators who had sailed out

direction from which the flyers were

Buskin said, when the Coast Guard
aviator aboard. Lieut.. Comdr. Robert
Donohue, first expressed his belief that
had met the Frenchmen.
The Tampa then began patrolling
the area between Cape Race, New.

the aviators might be found.
In the meantime, it was explained
