their 80 per cent dividend checks
and certificates of stock in the De-
positors Holding company are urged
to do SO Immediately SO that the af-
fairs Of the receivership may be

can be dispensed with, the less ex-
pense there will be for the holding

out.
Checks for all claims filed up to

returned here from Washington and
are awaiting the payees. These
cover prac ically all claims, as only
very few were filed after that date.

Of the affairs Of the First National
bank which closed few days ago,

fore the work of the a"eiver is com
pleted here will be returned to
Washington, according to nv Ander-
son, after which transactions must
be carried on by correspondence
which will cause much delay and in
convenience. For this reason, de-
positors should get their checks inn
mediately, he states, urging all who
can to call at the bank on Friday or
Saturday of this week.

M'C00K FIELD
FLYER MAKES

Lieut.. James A. Do0little Per-

Goal of AviatOrs

Dayton, Ohio, May 26--CP)-Lieu-
tenant James A. Doolittle, McCook
field, today held the record Of hay-
ing performed an .'outside loop" the
goal of aViators since it was first
tried in 1912 with the result that
two men lost their lives.
Flying over Dayton yesterday at
an altitude Of 5000 feet. Lieutenant
Doolittle turned the nose of his
plane downward and described a huge
circle, 1000 feet in diameter, and re-
turned to level out at his original
height. The flyer was in the "out-
side Of the circle" throughout, and
was held in his seat only by straps.
At the lowest point of the circle he
was directly under the plane, flying
at a speed Of $50 miles an hour. As
me. climbed back, the speed Of the
ship was retarded to the approximate
$50 miles an hour he was making
when he went into the loop.
When Lieutenant D0olittle landed
his ~eyes were blood shot and he
gave evidence otherwise of the sever,
strain OF the feat. Today, however
he declared he had suffered no Il
J effects.

HUNT FOR COLI
AND NUNGESSER
GOES FORWARD
Workmen Near Placcntia
Bay Tell of Hearing Crash
Like Failing Plane

st. Johns, N. F., May 26-(P-The
hunt for Captains Charles Nungcs-
ser and Francis Coli, missing French
transatlantic flyers, went forward
today with new hope born Of re-
port that a crash, which may have
been that Of falling plane, had been
heard by two w0rkmen near Placentia
Bay.
Henry Collins and his son, of
Paradise Sound, an inlet Of the Bay,
said that at 10 o'clock on Monday
morning, May 3, the day on which
the Paris New York flyers were due
to pass over New Foundland, they
heard falling object followed by
an explosion. A preliminary investi-
cation failed to disclose the cause
OF the sounds.
Other persons at various points
near Conception Bay. whore the avi-
ators might have been expected to
have first sighted the mainland,
have told of hearing. plane on the
same morning.
One Clue Not Substantial
A clue furnished. by the crew of
the Danish schooner Albert, that an
airship had been. sighted 80 miles
off Cane Pine. the same day, was
considerably diminished when govern
ment officials who examined the
ships log. found nothing to 'substan-
tlate the story.
From Harbor Grace, on Conception
Bay, where the White Bird was first
reported to have been heard. to st.
Lawrence, on the southern tip Of the
Burin Peninsula, the last. place, is
fairly straight line.
So far all clues have been unavail-
ing, but Dominion authorities today
were concentrating their energy on
running down the latest report.

PRICE OF LAND
TOO HIGH SAYS
KR TSCHMAR
Chairman of Senate ApprO
priations Committee Dis
cusses Boards Purchase

Senator Paul kretschmar of Ven
turia. chairman of the senate appro-
priations committee at the last leg
islative session, today expressed the
opinion that the board Of administra
tion paid too much for the section of
land recently purchased for the state
penitentiary.
Here today for the convention Of
bankers of this area, kretschmar
said it was his recollection that the
senate appropriations committee op-
posed paying more than $45 or $50
an acre for the property.
Characterizing the idea of board
going beyond the appropriation as
"bad business" Kretschmar said
that the last legislature appropriated
$10,5O0 as the final payment on land
bought for the penitentiary 10 years
ago under the same conditions which
marked the original contract for the
present purchase.
Funds were juggled to make pay
ments on the land, bought at 500
an acre, he said, until the final pay
ment became due and an appeal to
the legislature for funds was neces-
sary. The first purchase was made
by the old board of control, none of
WnOm are members Oh tnc present
board Of administration.
Several state senate leaders met
here last night and discussed the
situation resulting from the new
land purchase. One result forecast
was a move to eliminate the board
of administration from the list of
state bodies at the next session of
the legislature. It was intimated
that a bill to that effect might come
in early in the 1929 session.
Kretschmar and other senators
said they have no objection to the
purchase Of land in the river bot
tom for more than $40 an acre and
expressed the belief that the prop
erty was worth the price paid. The
price of the section near the peni-
tcntiary, $68.60 an acre, was held to
be exorbitant, however.
