LEVINE AND DROUHIN
 SIGN CONTRACT TODAY
Flight Start Now Depend. ent on Weather Con-
 ditiOns

Paris, Aug. 8 R)-Charles A. Le- vine and the French aviator, Mau- rice Drouhin. today signed a new contract. As soon as Levine deposits S00,000 francs the start of their Paris-to- New York flight will de- pend only on weather conditions.

 It the flight is not taken within three months of July [, Drouhin will nevertheless receive salary for the year, and if another plane crosses ahead of the Columbia either Drou- hln or Levine can renonce the con- tract. The French pilot however, in this case will still be entitled to re- ceive the salary for the year.

HEIR TO THE SEARLES' MILLIONS DIES TODAY Walker Had Succeeded in Defeating Relations
 in Court

Lawrence, Mass, Aug. P- Arthur T. Walker of Brooklyn, N. Y, who inherited the greater part of the estate of the late Edward F. Searles, Methuen multimillionaire. died suddenly last night at the Searles mansion at Windham, N. H. He was stricken with an attack of indigestion and death came tNo hours later.
 Walker had been the confidential adviser of Searles, who died at his Methuen estate on August $, 1920. Immediately after the filing of the will of the eccentric millionaire, leaving most of his estate to Walker and comparatively small amounts to relatives, a contest was started.
 His nephew, Victor Searles, sought to break the will on the ground that Searles was of unsound mind when he signed the document and was subjected to undue influence. The contest finally was settled out of court and it was understood that Victor Searles was given in neigh borhood of million dollars
 Last February suit for s15, 100000 was filed against the Searles estate by Angelo M. Ellison, who had been employed by Searles as youth In Methuen. Ellison claimed that Searles had promised to provide liberally for him in his will. A jury decided against him.
 In March last the courts were asked to determine whether the University of California should re- ceive contingent bequest of s25o,- 900. The court ruled that Victor Searles had forfeited a bequest of this amount by contesting the will and that it should go to the uni versity.
 Most of the Searles' wealth came from his wife, who was the widow of Mark Hopkins. western railroad magnate. After her death Searles lived most of the time virtually as q recluse on his great estate in Methuen. Her grounds, surrounded by high wall. were carefully guarded from the public. He built in Windham. N. H.. a few miles away. Immense gardens surround cd the Methuen mansion and build ings and grounds were filled with all sorts of curios. Searles was liberal benefactor of the town of Methuen, contributing funds for the building of schools and other purposes.
 Several months after his death rumorS that he had been poisoned led to the elimination of his body. After an autopsy it was determined that he had died of natural causes.
 The Methuen estate later was cut up into house lots and another man. sion owned by Searles at Great Bar rington was sold to a syndicate.
 MT. Walker was born in Canada at Chatham. Ontario, 49 years ago and had known MT. Searles for about 12 years prior to the latter's death. For the greater part of that time MT. Walker had acted in the capacity of confidential secretary.
 The fortune which he received from the Searles estate made little change in his mode of living and he continued 10 occupy a small apart ment on Pierpont street, Brooklyn, N. '. He went by the subway every morning at 9 o'clock to his office at II Broadway, New York City. rather than ride to business in his automo- bile.

Nillafelletto, Italy, Aug. S.-(UP) of this village who knew Bartolomeo Vanzetti as boy today persued the latest letters from the famous prisoner and pondered on his fate which has stirred thou sands.
 One of the letters received by Nanzetti's sister commented on the advisory board selected by Governor Alvan T. Fuller to review the Sacco- Nanzetti case.
 "The commission was composed" wrote the condemned man to his sisters and his father here, "of A. Lawrence Lowell, Samuel w. Strat- ton and Robert Grant.

They were very cour- teous. They approved openly of our reasons, even to my ideas. But, Grant, instead gave me the impress sion of not wishing to understand the evidence favorable to us. He seemed to be an enemy and to favor our enemies whom he resembles
 That which the governor will do, l do not know. But, I have a little faith in one thing alone. l know that if with all the proofs favorable to us and with the little falsities against us he sends us to death, he will be an assassin. Those who know him say he is honest, sincere and courageous. I do not know and l have no desire to believe that he is bad.

 Nanzetti also wrote another letter to his family when he first began his hunger strike in which he said he thought that Governor Fuller and his commission, when they saw the truth would concede both him and Sacco some consideration.

WEALTHY RADICAL JAILED 3 MONTHS Edward Holton James Guilty Of
 Incitin6 Riot
 ACTIVE WORKER FOR SACCO Nephew of Lato Prof. William James and Graduate of Harvard, Refuses to Rise For Reading of Court Complaint Against Him.
ACTIVE WORKER FOR SACC(

Boston, Aug. 8 P-Edward Hol- ton James, wealthy radical. today was sentenced to serve ninety days in jail on charges of melting a riot and assaulting a policeman, during a Sacco-Vanzetti demonstration on Boston Common yesterday. James took the prison sentence rather than Ray fines totaling s75 imposed by the court.
 When arraigned before Judge Dowd in district court James de- clared he refused to recognize the courts jurisdiction. He refused to rise for the reading of the complaint against him saying he would not stand up ''before murderers, whether they are judges, police off, cers or governors"
 After reading of the complaints he declined to plead. He was fined $50 on the charge of melting to riot and $25 on the assault charge.
 He asked the court how much the fines would mean in the form of q prison sentence and when informed said he would take the ninety days.
 Is Harvard Graduate.
 James, who is a nephew of the late Professor Williams James, wide iy known psychologist, and Henry James, novelist, has come into prominence through his radical views at various times since his graduation from Harvard in 1896. After pract1c!ng law in Seattle and several other cities for a time after leaving college he went to Paris where he became editor of the Lib orator, radical publication. His views as expressed in that publica- ton resulted in the arrest of his London agent and the seizure of several hundred copies of the publi- cation on the grounds that it libel led King George.
 Went to Germany.
 He returned to the United States and then went to Germany during the early part of the war. He was arrested there and confined in pris- on forty months because of the views he expressed.
 James has been active in the Sac co-Vanzetti case for several years. Last April he attempted to re-enact the crime for which the two were convicted and was arrested in South Braintree but refused to appear in court and disappeared for time.
 Several others arrested in con- nection with the Sacco-Nanzetti dis turbances were arraigned today. Joseph Moro of the defense om- mittec, who was arrested Saturday while distributing handbills calling attention to yesterdays meeting, was fined $2O.
 Harry Canter of the Workers party of America, who was arrested on the common yesterday was fined s10 for violating the municipal park rules. A charge of disturbing the peace was dismissed.
 Alfred Freidman, who was charg- ed with disturbing the peace, failed 10 appear and a bench warrant for his arrest was issued and the s10o bail posted yesterday was forfeited. Guilio Plea was fined total of sS5 on charges of melting riot, assault and disturbing the peace.
