Giant Plane, Overload ed, Unable to Gain

Pilot Drops 260 Gallons of Gasoline as Craft Begins to Fall - May Take Off Again Late Today.

Grayson, the Long Island aviatrix who hopes to be the first woman to fly across the Atlantic ocean, as the amphibean plane. the Dawn, taxied out Of the water and up the beacl here today after a second false star, this week for Copenhagen. The re- turn decision was made when the plane reached point two miles be- yond Cape Elizabeth Hghtship. dozen miles east Of here. It was not more than two feet above the water, and making nearly l25 miles an hour 1t was estimated by Pilo, Wllmer Stultz. Navigator Brice Goldsborough pulled tke valve wires releasing 260 gallons of gasoline. and thus gained altitude to return to the beach.
 Signals Destroyer
 A destroyer of the coast guard. which had stood off shore during the attempted flight, followed the Dawn back in until the plane was ashore. Goldsborough climbed 10 the top wing and signalled the des- troyer with semaphore flags that eu was well.
 Mrs. Grayson, when asked if the next attempt would be made this afternoon at the next low tide, said; 'Oh, don't know, l don't like the idea of two nights of flying but We may do it."
 Continuing her description of this mornings flight, she said. Tt was terrible beach 10 take off from this morning. Pilot Stultz had fairly 10 pull the plane into the air" By the time the plane started it's run down the beach at S:15. the tide had crept in. leaving only compara- lively narrow path on the uppcr sand which is softer than that up- covered at dead low tide. The plane was forced to run much farther than on the previous attempt last Tues day. It was fully a mile and a quar- sHA o'iN pSl idPS d IllIt ana a nait before the wheels left the ground for the last time, Previous to the actual start the Dawn had startled the as sembllng groups along the long stretch of sand by speeding the length of the beach. Although it ap- peared like an attempt to take off, In reality it was simply to test the balance of the plane.
 May Take or Again
 The possibility of another take-off this afternoon seemed remote after a conference on the beach between Mrs Grayson, Pilot Stultz and Igor Sikorsky, builder of the plane.
 of course, if conditions are ab- solutely right and the plane is still in perfect shape, as We think she is.

 AT 30 MILES AN HOUR
J. II. kirkham, Representing Man In Court, Says "Half or Three Quarters of Drivers In Town Would Be In Jail If Prosecuted For Driving at 30 or 35 Miles An Hour Past Intersections"

Judge NJ, D. Saxe made 1t plain that he does not condone speedy driving of automobiles past inter secting streets, when he observed in police court today that perhaps they ought to be in jail" in reply to a statement by Judge J. H. Kirk ham that half or three quarters of the drivers in town would be in jail if prosecuted for driving at the rate of 30 or 35 miles an hour past street intersections"
 Albert Helm, aged %. of 146 Win ter street, charged with speeding and failure to have his automobile re- gistration in his possession. was fined BIO and costs on the first charge and had judgment suspended on the second. He produced his re- gistration and told Judge Sake he had it in an envelope when he was arrested by Motorcycle Officer W. s. Strolls yesterday afternoon, but he was unable to locate it at that time.
 Officer Stro!ls testified that Helm drove at the rate of 80 to S5 miles an hour on Stanley street from ROx- bury road 10 the Dodge Motor Sales Corp. headquarters about 2.40 o'clock yesterday, passing Allen street at the rate of 31 miles an hour, and Short and West streets at the rate of 35 miles all hour. The officer said Helm failed to reduce the speed of his car at the inter- sections. Traffic vas light at the time.
 Helm, in replying to Prosecuting Attorney Woods, said he had not read the rules of the road very care fully, Judge J. II. Kirkham, re- presenting Helm, said it appeared to him that the officer has too strict standard ot duty, as 55 miles an hour in light traffic past inter sections where the visibility is good on all sides did not strike him as dangerous. He admitted, however, that much depended on the condl- tion of the car,
 After court, Judge Saxe said he felt that drivers of automobiles should reduce speed at intersections and he doubted that cars going 30 or 35 miles an hour could be stopped quickly enough to avoid accidents in emergencies which arise instan- taneously

D., Bishop of the Providence Diocese in q cablegram made public here from Cardinal Gasparri, papal secre- tary Of state.
 The authority was requested by Bishop Hickey because of the action of Elphege J.

 It is contended by MT. Diagnault and other plaintiffs, all of whom are members of Franco-American par ishes, that the bishop had no au- thority to act as he did, lacking the consent of the parish corporations.
 Whether the bishop had the right so 10 act Is question now before the superior court here.

Bontires blazed on the hills of Donega on the night of December fl !, 1925; they marked the elevation on that day to the cardinalate of Mon signor Patrick O'Donnell archbishop Of Armagh, who from a Donegal cottage had risen 10 the rank of prince of the church.
 The history of his family was for years the history of Donegal. From the thirteenth to the seventeenth centuries, the O'Donnells ruled Tn Donegal and no other princely gaelic house produced as many able men. Cardinal O'Donnell was born in Kilraine, Glenties, County Donegal in 1856.
 For some years he was the young est bishop in the church, having heen appointed Bishop of Raphoe by Pope Leo XIII when he was 32. He had previously been g professor of theology in St, Patrick's College, MaynOOth.

Won Hearts of People

Raphoe covers the county of Donegal and the young bishop had a diocese that was poor. Bishop O'Donncll was fluent speaker of Gaelic and won the hearts of his people by his devotion to their needs.
 Donegal had been stronghold of the moonshine industry The young bishop announced that to drink or buy or sell ''potecn" was an offense for which only a bishop could give dissolution. That might mean a journey of 40 miles of letterkenny and there was a disagrceable inter view in prospect for the penitent moonshiner. As a result within five years "poteen" disappeared from the diocese.

Stocks
Advance Despite
Commission Order

The stock market poOh-poohed the
Interstate Commerce Commissions
action in turning down the proposed
Loree merger Of southwestern rail-
roads when railroad stocks advanced
yesterday.
The Commissions rejection Of the
Loree deal, by which the anti-union
boss of the Delaware & Hudson, who
is trying to build fifth trunk line
system between New York and the
west, fought to gain control Of the
Missouri Texas region, simply didn't
feaze the gamblers in rail stocks. APP
parently well informed that the Com
mission would eventually ratify the
merger when certain Objectionable de-
tails were changed, the spectators
advanced the entire stock list in a
vigorous advance. Many stocks went
to the highest price of the year.
It was stated in Wall st. that Kan
sas City Southern, the Loree road
attempting the merger, would take
prompt measures to comply with the
Commissions requirements for the
promotion Of the merger.

De Pinedo Hats Again
For Fascist Speeches:
Doesn't Mind Accidents

SHIPPEGAN, N. b., May 90
De Pinedo, aviator, propa-
gandist for Mussolini, arrived here
after series of minor accidents. Dis
illusionment is being felt in many
quarters about his reputed skill as a
result of the aviator's difficulty in
getting around the country in spite of
the fact that he is receiving the active
support of both Italy and the United
States.
De Pinedo left Detroit several days
ago, after large fleet of Henry
Ford's planes had been sent out to
search for him. The large number Of
forced" landings which the aviator
has made during the past few days
comedies happily with his pre-ar~
ranged program to make fascist
speeches at receptions in his hono1

Worcester Workers
Call Strike After
Refusing U. S. Aid

WORCESTER, Mass, May co.
A general strike Of laborers was de-
clared last night at a special meet
ing of Local 620, international Hold
carriers Building and Common La
borer's Union.
The strike starts at once and will
affect every construction and build
ing job in Worcester. A roll call of
members was taken befores adjoining
the meeting and pickets were as
signed to the various jobs which will
be picketed en-masse.
Have Support.
Local 210, Hodcarriers, have agreed
to walk out il necessary and other
locals as well as bricklayers will
be asked to support the strike to a
successful conclusion. About 700 men,
mostly members of Laborer's Local
$40 are expected to quit work.
I, The main object of the strike is to
gain recognition of the union and
establish a minimum wage of Go cents
an hour for laborer's.
Two contractors have already sig
nified their intention to pay IS cents
per hour, but with an Elective strike
they will come across.
Strike Is Late.
This strike is about weeks late.
Miss Anna Weinstock, a representa-
tive of the U. S. Dept. of Labor in
teryened in an attempt to avert the
strike when news of the impending
strike reached Washington.
Many futile conferences were held
and while the International represen-
tatives were suggesting that the local
present Miss Weinstock, the govern
ment conciliator, with some suitable
token of appreciation for her efforts
to settle the controversy peacefully"
the rank and file members demanded
that she be kept out of this struggle
and replied that since Miss Weinstock
gets paid by the government, it would
be more appropriate for Calvin Cool
idge to give her a present for her
efforts since she is of no earthly use
to the workers.
"Any one that is on the payroll of
capitalist government is not paid to
be of service to labor" was the gem
eral cry at the meeting.
