ME'XICANS BUSY
PROMOTING AIR
Line INTEREST

According to information which has
come to Juan Marshall, Mexican
consul in Douglas application has
been made by Jack MadduX, of Los
Angeles. for a permit tC navigate an
airrlane on trip from Los Angeles
to the City of Mexico with a single
stop at Tiajuana. No details were
given in the communication, which
is a business brief sent from his
government, but it is surmised by
Mr.. Marshall and those Of Douglas
people who have heard of it, that
this may be the initial step of the
Maddux company to entering Mexico
with it's air line.
The news of the application by
Maddux was received with interest
in Douglas by those who have been
taking leading part in bringing
about the development of an airport
here. They look upon it as evidence
of a determination on the part OF
Maddux to extend his flying activities
and develop it into g, system and
they regard that as a hopeful sign
that Douglas will be on the line
toward the east when that is ex-
tended. It is not regarded as likely,
Just at this time, that through line
to Mexico City will be established
but it is believed more probable that
Maddux is planning to make a trip
for the development of friendly in
terests among Mexican government
officials so that when conditions war
rant, the work of extending and
opening his airplane lines into that
country it will be a matter of easy
process.
Another thing that indicates a
rising interest in airplane traffic
among the Mexican people is seen
in the fact that the National Railway
of Mexico is about to encer into a
contract for carrying mail between
Mexico City and Laredo, Texas, as a
means of encouraging and aiding in
the airplane transportation in the
southern republic.
Then, too, former Governor Abel
ardo Rodriguez, of Sonora, is pro-
noting an airplane factory to be
located at Tiajuana and to produce
the same type of plane as the Spirit
of st. Louis, being a branch of the
Ryan factory at San Diego.
| All these activities have sprung UP
rapidly in Mexico and have come
quickly after the visit to the capital
of Col Charles Lindbergh. SO Consul
Marshall believes that they all reflect
a determination on the part of the
people of the republic to make ur
for any neglect in attention to avia-
ton that they may have perpetratec

TOTALS SHOW
SCANT THIRD
HAVE APPLIED

Seventy-two applications for 1923
automobile licenses were filed with
James A. Howell, deputy county as
SCISSOR, at the city hall on Saturday.
This marks cne of the busiest days Of
the season since the applications start
ed coming in during the latter part Of
December.
Up to last Monday 633 applications
for new plates has been received at
the office at the city hall and with
the average daily for the past week
about IS the total for this past week
is approximately 800 applications
which, added to the total up to last
Monday, makes 1858 applications filed
here.
This is less than third of the ap-
plications that must come from this
area if every car is to have 1928
license and comply with the law. Prob
ably some of the car owners have made
application directly to Tombstone, but
at the same time the deputy assessor
says that there is little likelihood that
many have done so and if there is
not a faster movement toward the ap
plication window many will be found
wanting on February l.

BURGLAR WORKS
QUICKLY, ALSO
WITH SUCCESS

The twilight burglar got in his work
again last evening after resting for
one night without breaking into any
home. The place entered last evening
was the Rod MacRae home at 1116
Eleventh street. The burglar who has
been preying on the homes of Doug
las for the past six weeks with great
success entered this home without
leaving evidence of how or where.
Night Lieutenant Gatliff of the po-
lice who carried on the first investi-
CATION could find no possible way the
robber might have entered the house
except the front door. That he lett
by way of the back door was evident
by that door being open and by
back gate showing signs.
MacRae had left the house shortly
after dark and upon returning within
an hour found that his watch, three
suits Of clothes, pair of new shoes
and many other articles were missing.
The house had been vacated while
painters and carpenters work on it and
MacRae and his mother were just
moving back and had their belongings
scattered about so that there was some
trouble in discovering just what was
missing.
A big blanket bath robe was taken
and it is the police theory that the
thief used this to carry the other loot
awav in bundling everything into the
bath robe. In other .robberies lately
nuilt or blanket has been taken which
the officers suppose was, used in this
way. A round up Of all suspicious
characters in the city started last
nicht with Chief Bowden of the police,
the night patrol and Constable Gordon
Newman working in an effort to eirn-
mate by incarceration as many posi-
BILE burglars as can be apprehended,

FLIERS' AGENCY
new PLANE TO
ARRIVE SOON

George Brill, the head pilot for the
Munsell- Brill flying service at the fair
ground aviation field, announced late
Yesterday that he would leave on Mon
day for Lincoln, Neb, where he will
ioin his partner, G. W. Munsell; and
fly back to Douglas with him in a new
L,ircoln-Page plane which they will
use here rs a denlonstrator.
, Munsell left Douglas week ago for
, Lincoln to close a deal with the Lin
coin Aircraft corporation in which the
NIunsell=Brill flying service secured the
agency for Lincoln planes for Arizona,
New Mexico and northern Mexico.
Munsell has written Brill to say that
on a trip into Wisconsin on business
he sold one of the new Lincoln planes
which is to be delivered in March.
Munsell and Brill have been carry
ing on their flying school here for sew
eral weeks and have a class of young
men who are learning to pilot the
planes. In addition to the work of
teaching the student filters, Brill has
been hauling many passengers on sight
seeing trips. It is the plan of the fly
ing service heads to devote some time
in the future to exploiting the Lincoln
planes with a view to selling them to
local aviation enthusiasts
Brill was preparing yesterday for his
return trip from Lincoln in new ship
starting from city where there will
be SLOW on the runways and probably
a zero tennpen2ture. He secured a
heavy wool-lined leather vest and
extra heavy gloves to take with him
for he states that the first few hun
dred miles of the return trip in the
plane will be like visit to the arctic.
He said that it probably would be nee
sary for the field men at Lincoln to
sweep % run'I,y in the snow for them
from which to take off.
The pilot has often commented ori
the ideal flying conditions here in
Douglas and offers as proof that there
has not been day since his arrival
here last fall when he has been unable
! to fly with passengers on account OF
the weather. He expect sto make a
quick trip to Lincoln, although he is
} leaving his ships and making the trip
| by train and he is planning on COM
| ing back in one or two hops which
means one or two days for the return
flight.

POLICE CHIEF
IS REFEREE In
AUTO CRASHES

Chief of Police Percy Bowden
turned diplomat and referee on Sat-
urday shortly after noon when he
was summoned within a short time
to arbitrate over two automobile
wrecks in the city. The first wreck
was on G. avenue at Seventh street
where two cars ran together. Neither
car was badly damaged although both
suffered a shameful loss of paint
and some bending.
Officers give as their opinion that
there has never been an automobile
accident in which the drivers of two
colliding cars would agree as to who
was at fault or what the damages
should be if they could agree. Chief
Bowden examined the tracks made
by these cars and finally rendered
decision as to which driver he
believed was at fault.
Returning to the station the ring
of the telephone greeted the ears
of the chief and he set out for the
scene of another crash on 18th street
at F avenue. This time but one
car remained on the scene and a
search was made for the other which
was finally located and the arbitration
continued. AS in the first case little
damage was done except the bending
of tenders and the rubbing off of a
lot of paint from new car.
Officers do not attempt to settle
these accident quarrels. Unless some
person involved has been guilty Of
o bad breech of traffic laws all the
officers do is take names and car
numbers and advise the argumentive
drivers as to which appears to be
right. If the car drivers cannot
agree as to who shall pay for the
repairs then their only recourse is
in a damage suit. The police insist
that the drivers must not fight during
their conferences in the street at the
scene of an accident and it some
times takes quite a bit of persuasion
tc prevent fights following these street
accidents
/ The police usually settle in their
own minds the fault by studying the
tracks made by the cars as they
ran together This is usually easy
to do as one or both cars usually
skid or slide a brake wheel when
they come together so that plain
tracks are made. If the case comes
to civil suit then the officer appears
with his official report of the accident
and the very fact that he has this
report usually precludes the suit as
the driver who is in the wrong will
finally realize that he can be proved
wrong and will agree outside the
court to pay the repair bills

STRESEMANN BANGS HIS FIST ON TABLE
Council of League Reused to Tense Pitch in
 Debate

Lugano, Switzerland, Dec. 15 N9 The council of the league of na- tions was reused to tense pitch today when Dr. Gustave Stresemann. the German foreign minister. bang ed the table with his fist and in- terrupted Foreign Minister Zaleski of Poland during a discussion of German minorities in Polish Upper Silesia.
 Zaleski charged that agitation of German associations in Polish Up- per Silesia was a danger to peace.
 Dr. Stresemann flushed red and brought his hand violently to the table. He hurled remarks in Ger man at Zaleski but the Polish for eign minister continued unmoved to read his criticism of German methods, declaring that the associa- tions were trying to convince public opinion that the rights of German minorities were being ignored.
 During the English translation of Zaleski's speech Dr. Stresemann again showed evidence of displeas- ure. glaring at the interpreter and muttering.
 When it was Stresemann's turn to speak, there were murmurs of excitement in the council chamber

 Without Informing Flock.

Twice within year the Indepen- dent Ukrainian church of St. Mary's Immaculate Conception on Winter street is without the guiding hand of 8 pastor. and 1t is believed by those intimate with the affairs of the parish. that it will be some time be- fore another pastor will be secured.
 The last to leave the services in that parish is Rev. Basil Hrivnak. who had taken up the pastorate a little less than three months ago, coming here from North Dakota. He left the city yesterday.
 The priest came here of his own volition at 8 time when the parish was without 8 pastor, volunteering his services. It had been without spiritual guardianship and guidance since the disappearance of Rev. Dem his Kulmatycky. Rev. Father Hriv- nak took up the work after an un. successful attempt to get placed in some other parish by the head of the Ukrainian Greek-Catholic church in Philadelphia. whom he asks to be transferred from his North Dakota parish on account of health.
