FLIER READY
FOR BERLIN
DASH BY AIR
ChamberIin Is Expected to
Start Atlantic Flight by
Late Today.
WILL USE BELLANCA
Pilot Asks for Report of
Weather Conditions;
Winds High.

BIZ United Press
ROOSEVELT FIELD, N. Y, June
3.-The Bellanca airplane Columbia
is ready to attempt nin-stop flight
to Europe, mechanics at the Column
bia Aircraft Company's hangar here
today said.
At o'clock reports from the Bel
lanca hangar, from which every one
but mechanics was excluded, said
the plane would be towed to Roose-
welt Field at o'clock and that the
start was set for some time between
then and G.
Clarence Chamberlin, pilot of the
plane, was advised by the weather
bureau last night that although a
storm then was over the Atlantic
and another was expected to de-
velop Sunday night, a calm period
satisfactory for flying probably
would come between the disturb
ances.
Winds Are High
High winds were reported today
over Newfoundland and the Grand
Banks, making flying hazardous.
Over Nova Scotia, however, flying
conditions were reported good. No
weather conditions had been re-
ceived up to noon from ships at sea.
Chamberln obtained permission of
Roosevelt Field authorities today to
use the long runway there any time
after o'clock this afternoon for a
full load take-off. 1T is the only run
way in this vicinity long enough to
make safe the start under a heavy
\ load, and was used by Lindbergh
y when he left for Paris.
Chanberlin will be accompanied
on the fight by a pilot-navigator
whose name will be announced later,
it is understood He is said to be a
former Navy pilot.
Holds Endurance Mark
The Bellanca plane holds the
worlds endurance fight record at
fiifty-one hours, and since that mark
was established, more than a month
ago, it has been preparing for a
transatlantic flight
Dissension between Lloyd Bertaud,
pilot selected to accompany Chamber
lin, delayed the projected fight until
after Charles Lindbergh reached
Paris, and for time it appeared that
all plans for an Atlantic flight by
Chamberlin had been abandoned.
Yesterday, however, Chamberlin
asked the weather bureau and the
Radio Corporation Of America to re-
sumo the complete reports, of flying
conditions over the Atlantic they had
furnished while Lindbergh was pre-
pairing to start for Paris.

of Victims, Young Wife
Says in Poison Case.
BITTER AT HER MATE
Doesn't Care What Be-
comes of Man Who Made
Life One of Fear.

BB United Press
MARION, Ind, June 3.--The plea
that she poisoned her cousin to save
the life Of her baby was made today
by Mrs. Dorothea Walser, 16, held
with her husband in the death Of
Clifford Cox, ~.
The girl wife, grief stricken be-
cause the baby was taken from her
in the Grant County Jail here and
placed i'm the care of her father at
F'airmount, wept as she told Prose
cutor Edward c. Hays new details Of
the poison scheme.
Arthur made me do It., she cried.
when Arthur first mentioned poi
soning Clifford, / wouldn't hear of
It, but he said it was either Clifford
or the baby and 1 couldn't bear to
have my baby killed.
Threatened Her Life
"IIe threatened TO do away with
me and the baby If didn't obey him.
you see, 1 had taken out a small
insurance policy for the baby, but
not for the same reason that l took
out one for Clifford, and Arthur said
it didn't matter If Clifford or the
baby went, we would get money any,
how"
Between incidents Of the month
old plot to poison the cousin with
Paris green dissolved in lemonade
ana realize on the S445 insurance
policy, Mrs. Walser kept asking for
her baby.
Back in her cell in the women's
ward of the Jail, she inquired Of Mrs.
Jacob Campbell, wife Of the sheriff,
il the 5-uonth-old infant was re-
ceivlng proper attention.

often repeated words The fact that
she faced the most extreme charge
that the State can bring against a
person did not appear to fret her.
To friends who called at the jail.
she expressed the hope that no Jury
would convict her Of an act to which
she had been driven by fear for her
self and her child, but she said she
didn't care" what happened to her
husband.
Arthur was questioned casually
by Prosecutor Hays today, but no
real attempt to break down his de-
malls of guilt will be made until
Sheriff Campbell returns with a
chemists report Of the analysis of
Clifford's vital organs.
Forced TO Marry
Hays revealed that one year ago
Walser was charged with contribute
ng to the delinquency of Dorothea
and that the charges were dropped
when they were married.
This is one of the details that
will be added to Dorothea's written
confession when the grand fury
meets next week.
Denies Plot knowledge
The husband, 20 years old, whose
inability to support his family was
declared the cause of the plot, was
questioned again today in an at.
tempt to shake his denials of par.
ticipation in the crime.
Walser, shown a copy of his wife's
confession, denied it, paragraph BY
even to knowledge that
his wife had taken out insurance for
Clifford a month ago.

Special correspondence from American Pro,
fcssional Golf Champion to the Star aud
w WORCESTER, Mass, June
3.-Big Ted Ray, captain,
wv and the other members of
the British professional
golf team gathered in their
rooms Yesterday afternoon and
ordered many buckets of tea in order
that their usual routine would not be
upset before the start today of the
international match against America.
Cant. Raw instructed his players to
rest Yesterday, and while the Ameri-
can PLAYERS were on the Worcester
course trying to solve the mysteries
of a game in which two players on a
side use but one ball, the Britishers
were having their tea and waiting
for today.
The first days play for the Ryder
Cup will be at fOursomes, with four
matches In this form of competition
the players take alternate shots at the
ball This sort of golf is seldom
played in America except when
women and men compete. The
British are much more familiar with
the foursome, and for this reason are
assumed to have a slight edge on our
players, but l cannot see that this
makes a great deal of difference. AS
Ted Ray and myself both are conf
dent of victory in this first profess
sional international ever held in
America, one of us is going to be very
much disappointed.
Deserves COmmendatiOn.
The British team is to be very
highly commended for the sc ious
manner in which it's members are TAX
ing their visit to America. Capt. Ray
explained to me that it was a great
sacrifice for his boys to have to de-
cline the many invitations which had
been extended to them to attend par
ties in New York and here, but that
they all wished to give the folks back
home run for their money"
You know" said Ray, 1--WE are not
here on our own. 1t is quite differ
ent thing than when we come out to
the States transforming. Harry Var
don and myself, we never missed a
good time during our American tours,
but this time it is different"
The British team is satisfied with
the condition Of the Worcester course,
and declare it to be a typical English
inland course. They declare the fair
ways in perfect condition, but trifle
narrow, and say that the large green's
are all that they should be for such a
test
Samuel Ryder. donor Of the cup for
which the teams will contest, has
cabled the Britishers his best wishes.
