that has already been twice blazed.
Began on May u


The America was brought to
Roosevelt field from the Fokker
factory in New Jersey on May ~
before Charles Lindbergh left for
France. 1t was still here when first
Lindbergh left for France. 1t was
still here when first Lindberg and
then Clarence Chamberlin and
Charles Levine made the trip TO
France.
In explaining the many delays
Byrd repeatedly said that if he had
been flying alone he would have
gone long before he did, but that
he felt his responsibility toward the
three men flying with him and
would not go until the weather
bureau told him that atm ospheric
conditions were good. In the end,
however. he left without definite
assurance that he would have good
weather all the way and with the
information from the weather bu-
reau that he might expect to strike
rain and fog with possibly adverse
winds off Newfoundland.
The America started on its Jour
ney against head wind but it was
so light as hardly to stir the flag
atop the hangar.
After No Prize
Byrd stressed repeatedly through
cut the long wait to start that
speed was not of prime importance
as he was not trying for any prize
nor trying to beat any record
''Lindbcrgh was an entrant for
the Orteig prize" he said, and
Chamberlin and Levine were trying
for a distance record. But this
fight is for purely scientific cond-
tons and it would be foolish to
lessen our chances of finding out
away to hurried start"
Byrd hopes to learn many facts
concerning the general rules by
which it is believed winds over the
ocean are governed for the use of
future trans oceanic aviators
Goadcd Into Start
Despite his repeated assertions
that he was in no hurry however,
it was generally believed that Byrd
left when he did today at least part
ly because he felt that he was losing
prestige. 1t became public that he
was receiving in recent days many
sarcastic letters and kilograms
criticising the delays of his flight
and it was known these missives
influenced him to take off when
weather became fairly favorable.

DENY SHORTAGE
OF COAL IN rs
Mines Bureau Says Strikes
Did Not Cut Supply.

By Times Special
WASHINGTON, Sept. 21.-De-
spite strikes in the coal mines of
Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana and
other bituminous producing states,
there will be no shortage of coal this
winter, the Bureau of Mines indi-
Gates.
Production in 1927, inclusive of the
week of Sept. 10, totals 365, 454,e00
tons. For the corresponding period
last year production was only $780,
$4,000 tons at this time.
All records have been broken this
summer in the shipment Of coal to
the Northwest and West, via Lake
Erie ports. Including Sept. IL, there
was loaded on lake steamers 1854
867 tons Of cargo coal, nearly five
million tons more than for the same
period last year.
New England coal receipts, inclus-
i've of July 81, were 14061, 159 tons.
more than two million tons in ex-
ces sof the same period last year.
Anthracite production inclusive of
Sept. TO- was 55,TS9,000 tons, only
10000 tons less than last year.
Although sufficient coal now is
above ground to remove fears of q
coalless winter, statistics assembled
by the Bureau of Mines disclose that
weekly production now is less than
for the corresponding periods in
previous years.

The departments action will come

desire for continuance of the ban,

DRY LAW USED

Hits Back at Resolution of
EngIeWood Club, FIay-
ing His Actions.

"They are trying to hide the wick
edness of Klanism under the vir-
tues of prohibition"
Such was the comment Of Attor-
ney General Arthur L. Gilliom to-
day, when he read a resolution con-
demning him, passed Tuesday night
by the Englewood Fustling Hundred
at Englewood Community hall.
Resolution Raps Gilliom
The resolution was as follows:
whereas. The enforcement of
law is fundamental necessity to
good government and the response
bility devolves upon the law en-
forcement machinery of govern
ment;
whereas. The attorney general
of the state of Indiana occupies a
position by virtue Of his Office,
which enables him to exert great
influence upon the various law en-
forcing agencies of the state, which
influence, may be deleterious or
stimulating in it's effect;
Whereas. The attorney general
should not lose sight of the fact
that he is a servant Of the people
employed for specific purposes; that
it is not the Office, duty or function
of the attorney general to go up
and down the state deriding and
disparaging its liquor laws;
Whereas. Such activity on his
part converts his appeal to the
prosecuting attorneys of the state
to enforce the law into but an
empty gesture and places him in
a paradoxical position of calling out
the fire department while adding
fuel to the flames.
Whereas. Such attitude on his
part is certainly inconsistent with
