WOOLSTON. Eng, June 19.-
Miss Amelia Earhart s airplane
Friendship landed in the water at
7:20 a. III. Eastern Standard time
today after making Il 135 mile flight
fl ON Burryport in > hours and .
I. inutes.
Five minutes before it's perfect
landing the Friendship was sighted
rising over the northwest horizon
and making, with its supermarine
pilot seaplane in the lead, towards
the landing spot.
a little crowd had been waiting
for hours for the plane. As the time
for the ships approach neared, the
crowd become throng. Workmen
rushed from all over the surround
ing area during their lunch periods
and school children turned out in n
body. Special motor bus parties from
all through the nearby county were
arriving mOmentarily.
Ordinarily, worKmen ferry from
| Woolston across to Southampton for
! ljnch but none went today.
News that the flyers had left
Burryport was disseminated by the
! nited Press. The crowd converged
on the Imperial Airways landing
stage at the waterside, jamming
nearby streets and forcing police to
adopt emergency regulations to con-
| troll it..
The Friendship came down gently
IN Southampton water 500 yards off
shore among continuous roar of
| cheers from persons ashore and in
boats and the din of hundreds of
ships sirens and whistles from the
great dock district.
The plane TAXED the 500 yards up
to the Imperial Airways seaplane
dock. The whole landing was effect
cd fautlessly.
Got Real Thrill
/ Dressed in a biscuit colored pull
over sweater, red necktie, dark
riding breeches, and black high
boots, Miss Earhart, looking less
tired than ON her arrival, received
newspaper men before she left for
London.
"My big moments on the whole
flight" she said, ''were when we
sighted the liner America south of
Ireland and when Stultz announced
that there was gasoline sufficient
only for another hours flying.
"But l think my real thrill came
when we sighted land.
"When the wireless failed on the
evening we left, l did not feel a
fraid but l was lonely. l spent
most of the time walking up and
down the cabin.
II believe most Atlantic flyers
who have been lost have failed be-
cause they did not know how to fly
by instrument alone. We would
have met their fate but for the fact
that Stultz is exceptionally well
qualified and experienced in such
flying.

age estimated at $l50,000 was done
by fire which destroyed the South
Western avenue plant of the Dia-
mond Hardwood company early to-
day.
Fear that the flames might reach
a huge gas storage tank in an ad-

police reserves to be called TO keep
some 10000 spectators out of range

The fire, of undetermined origin,
broke out at midnight and ten min
utes later had engulfed the entire
plant The expensive kiln-dried

RITCHIE'S ACTION
INSURES VICTORY
SAY smith men
Withdrawal of Maryland
Governor Sure to Aid
New Yorker.
By HERBERT LITTLE
UNITED Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, June 19.-Fol-
lowers Of Governor Smith today
hailed the l6 votes of Maryland,
ccdcd by Governor Albert G. Ritchie
as assuring the nomination of their
candidate at Houston next week.
Maryland's l6 votes will give
Smith more than 700 on the first
ballot, they claimed. TO nominate,
1913 3 are needed and the others
will be Forthcoming on an early
ballot, it was predicted.
Ritchie has not been an avowed
candidate but his campaign for
state S rights and his outspoken
disapproval of prohibition have
gained him a nation wide rcputa-
ton.
The Maryland Democratic CON
vention instructed the delegates
for him and in the early stages of
the campaign there were many who
believed he would make a better
vote gctter than the New York gov
crnor.
Twenty four Democratic delegates
the last to be named, are to be
selected at the Virginia state con
vcntion in Roanoke Thursday or
Friday. The Virginia contest today
was described as a battle between
Smith and anti-Smith factions and
optimistic Smith men foresaw a
landslide convention victory over
the proportion of Hoover's in the
Kansas City convention, if Smith
gets most of the Virginia votes.
Need to Fight
However, it was generally believ-
ed that the followers of Senator
James A Reed of Missouri would
carry their fight to the convention
balloting before quitting.
Possibilities for the vice presi-
Dental nomination at Houston
came to the fore today in the wake
of Ritchie's announcement at Bal
timore.
If Smith is,named, the Democrats
are expected to turn to the middle
west, as the Republicans did, for a
running mate.
Huston Thompson, former federal
trade commissioner; Senator Walsh
of Montana and Major General
Henry 7. Allen of Kentucky are
among the westerners mentioned
for second place. Many of Walsh $
friends believe he would not accept,
however, and two Catholics on the
ticket admittedly would be too
much of a strain for the party.

Among the impressions the visitor
takes away from white Lilacs"
is that the life of genius is spent
between fits Of melancholy bright

also that artists spend most of their
moments boosting their own stocks.
Such people are beloved by all the
world excepting their unfortunate
mates.
Incidentally Hopper gag is worth
recording. 1t is about the monkey

FORSEFS A STATIC SoUiet Union to Film
WACECJ AVE- UTOPIA Scenario IN Mongolia

THE "Belgoskino," the state film
4 company of the Ruthenian Soviet
Republic, has sent three expeditions
to Mongolia to film scenario in the
Siberian city of Werchneuudinsk,
with political plot built around a
descendant of Chingis kan, the Mon
golian conqueror, according to a re-
port to the Department of Com

The report contains detailed de-

nF all the weaknesses with which
" genius is afflicted the greatest is
supposed to be conceit. The narcis-
sus complex is seen at its best in
"White Lilacs", now playing at the
Schubert Theatre with the noted
funster and husband DeWolfe Hop
per in = leading role. If Mr.. Hop
per's contribution to the evenings
entertainment was confined to his
little curtain speech between the sec
ond and third acts that alone would
be worth the price of admission pro-
vided one could afford $3.50 for an
orchestra seat.
The much-married Hopper how
ever did not ronp off with the lions
share of the honors. Those went
undoubtedly to Oddette Myrtil who
gave an impersonation of the IA
nous George Sand, that should
please equally we'll an addict of
the Ziegfeld Follies or a steady GUS
toner of Theatre Guild productions.
The operetta is based on the short
lived love affair between the great
composer Frederick Chopin and Miss
Sand. This critic is of the opinion
that Guy Robertson in the Chopin
role exhibited more prowess in WOO
ing the famous love-novelist than
tickling sweet notes from the piano.
It must be admitted that his task
was easy. Miss Sand fell for him
like cloud burst. Miss Myrtil how
ever kept the eyes and ears of the
audience busy and tho at times she
seemed to be scanning the seats for
q missing anoel, and paying more
tention to the bald heads in the
front row than to the sensitive
Chopin, her Torrance moro than
atoned for any deficiency In the
piano playing.
Great men came into George
Sands life simply to be smitten,
with two exceptions, her publisher
and a singer named Luselle, The
publisher, played by Hopper, was
about as artistic as a floerwalker
and the singer had room In his heart
for only one love and that he law
ished on himself,

stroke OF good luck the author
joined the research staff of Profes-
5or John Il. Commons" Then the
light dawned. Perlman learned "tht
method of deducing labor theory
from the concrete and crude expert
ence. of sweat shop bosses
'scabs,' strikers, merchant capital
lists and manufacturers "
And what is this new empirica'
theory in which, as he boasts, "the
Hegelian dialetic nowhere occurs,
nor is cognizance taken of labors
historical mission'?"
The worker is and will ultimately
remain only "job conscious" He
has none of those ultimate aspira-
tions which comprise "the faith of
the revolutionist," The trade unior
leader alone best understands the
road for labor to travel for he sees
the worker as he really is and must
he, seeking nothing higher than to
secure the essentials of life and as
piring only to climb towards "a
civilized level of existence for ones
self and ones dependents" page
300l.
"There are, and by and large.
three basic economic PHILOSOPHERS"
Perlman says, "the manual labor
ers', the business mems and the in
tellectue's'
an an economic community there
is separation between those who
prefer secure, though modest re-
turn-that is to say mere liveli-
hood-and those who play for big
stakes and are willing to assume
risk in proportion. The first COM
pose the great bulk of manual work
ers of every description. while
the latter are, of course, the
~-'repeneurs, and the big business
men :"
The worker, we are told is in
stinctively aware of his own short
comines, he is aware of his own
mate interiority and "this scarcity
consciousness has always been typi-
cal of the manual worker" The
business man, 'on the contrary, is an
eternal optimist."
All the errors of the intellectual
(by whom he means the revolution
istl arise out of his failure to under
stand what is really on the work
er's mind. So the intellectual, the
Marxist, is not actually the social
scientist. he processes to be but
dealer in distractions, unable ito
withstand an unrush of overpower-
ing social mysticism"
The pragmatist sees that there is
really party of the classes" in
society that there is an emerging
spirit of cooperation" by which the
struggle of the workers is to be de-
cided rather than by the force of
numbers.
There is really no basis for the
theory of sharpening class struggle.
Labor is developing towards q
"stable job consciousness" Capital
ism is developing from demand
and supply capitalism to welfare
capitalism"
And what is the outcome of this
new and pragmatic insight?
I'm a nutshell the problem of
American unionism today is, first,
how to dispel the hostility of the
employer" This can best be accom-
plished through the spirit of coop
Grafton.
Finally we have the logical con-
clusion and perspective of this the

will become "institutionalized" THE
likelihood of that spirit of coopera-
