-FOUR VIRGINIANs TO TESTIFY
Tobacco Pool and Farmers Group
Members Called by Defense.

DANVILLE, Va, March IA F).--
Four, possibly more. men of this COM
munity will be called as defense wit
nesses in the million-dollar suit filed
by Aaron Sapiro against Henry Ford,
which opens at Detroit tomorrow, the
Evening Bee says this Afternoon.
Great efforts have been made, the
paper says. to preserve the anonymity
of these witnesses, but two have been
identified. One is John c. Roach,
who aided in the formation of the
tobacco pool, which collapsed last year
and which was fostered by Sapiro. The
other is James H. Warren, who
launched farmers protective organi-
cation here five years, which was
merged with the Sapiro organization.
The Bee also states that three weeks
ago attorneys for Henry Ford came
to this section and spent several days
taking dispositions from farmers, cit
ing their present financial plight as
result of the POOLS operations. The
witnesses have been notified to hold
themselves ready to prdceed to De.
troit.

PANAMA, March 14.-.-Thirty-two
pieces of ancient jewelry, some Of 1t
believed of possible Inca origin, and
valued from the intrinsic and his
torical point of view at about $4,000,
already have been deposited in the
national bank by a treasure-hunting
party which Is exploring the ruins
of the old city of Panama, destroyed
in 1911 by the pirate Sir Henry Nor
gan.
The treasure recovered consists
mostly of necklaces, a cross and pend.
ants dug out of the ruins of the six
teenth century church of st. Joseph
and a nearby convent on the site Of
the old city. The hunting party is
headed by George Williams, formerly

In some quarters, however, 1t Is
believed that no considerable finds will

the property which they hid The
site of the old city was voluntarily

that probably they We're removed hur.

that the priest was killed later and

for the Raymond Orteig $4,000 prize
loomed today with announcement Of
plans by Lieut.. Comdr. Noel Davis
for a nonstop flight from New York
to Paris.
Davis, a member Of the United
States Naval Reserve Air Service,
expects to take off from Mitchell Field,
Long Island. in June in an all.Ameri-
can expedition and hoped to make the
3,6O0.mile flight in less than AZ hours:
For Paris flight by Comdr. Richard
f. Byrd, who flew to the North Pole
last Spring, a Fokker plane is beng
built by Rodman Wanamaker. Capt
Rene Fonck, French ace, whose at
tempt last wear ended in the death of
two members of the expedition In
crash of the plane at it's take-of, Is
having another plane built by Igor
Sikorsky.
Crafts Name Selected.
Davis plane, which is being built at
Bristol, Pa, will be named the Amer
lean Legion" which organization eX-
poets to finance the greater part of
the project through sale of souvenir
post cards at 50 each, which will be
carried on the plane and mailed from
Paris.
Comdr. Davis made the first definite
and detailed announcement of his
plans yesterday.
The plane to be used is specially
built machine of the pathfinder type,
developed by the keystone Aircraft
Co. of Bristol Pa. 1t Is now nearing
completion and Is expected to be ready
for it's initial tests late in April or
early in May.
The proposed flight will be the Sec
ond attempt to fly from New York to
Paris In nonstop trip The first
effort ended tragically with the loss
of two lives when the Sikorsky plane,
in which Capt. Fonck planned to make
the crossing, burned at Roosevelt
Field, Long Island, last September.
Equipment of Plane.
The Davis plane will be equipped
with three "Whirlwind" Wright en-
gines of the rotary type. each of nine
cylinders and each developing 240
horsepower.
Only one other person will occupy
the cockpit with Comdr. Davis. Who
this Is to be has not yet been definite
ly decided upon, the COMMANDER Sdlu'
The plane will carry 1900 gallons
of fuel when it takes off on its $500
mile sustained flight. With this load
it will weigh 10000 pounds at the start
and will weigh 1000 pounds when it
lands at Paris.
In addition to the fuel and equip
ment, the plane will carry 100 pounds
of mail, composed of diplomatic let
tiers, including a greeting from Presi.
dent Coolidge to the President of
France. The rest of the mail will be
souvenir post cards, commemorating
the flight
The route of the flight will be from
New York over Boston, Nova Scotia,
Newfoundland, then across the Allan
tic Ocean, over Ireland, the southern
part Of France. and along the Seine
River to Paris.
June Weather Best.
The start in June. the commander
said, will give him the best possible
weather conditions, including wester-
ly winds.
With an average 20-mile breeze be-
hind him, Comdr. Davis estimates he
can make the crossing in about 35
