COLOMBIAN AIR
 ACE RETURNING Will Make 4,6S Journey
 Home by Plane

New York, Nov. 17-P1Lieut. Benjamin Mendez. youthful Colom- bian flier who came to the United States four years ago to learn to fly, is ready for triumphant return to his home republic by air.
 No flight since Lindbergh's Latin American tour has fired the inter- est of Colombian air enthusiasts so much as the projected 4,653 mile hydroplane flight of the South American republics native son. Co., lombian newspapers are already hailing young Mendez as the re- public's "Lindbergh," and a hero 8 welcome awaits him at Bogota, his home.
 Although now commissioned as a lieutenant in the Colom bian air serv- ice, Mendez came to the United States in April, 1924, when he be- caG,e restless over the limited oppor- tunicies to learn to fly in his home made in five hops, will carry him back to his Colombian friends and relatives for the first time since he set out for the United States to be- come a pilot.
 Lieutenant Mendez plans to hop off from New York. weather per- hitting, November IT on the first leg of the flight which will carry him along the Atlantic seaboard to Jack sonville. Fla, distance of $50 miles without stop. The second stop lies 775 miles south of Havana. Cuba, with the third leg over an 500 mile stretch to Puerto Barrios Panama. the fourth station, is 97S miles from Puerto Barrios. with the last lap of the long flight an 1,15O mile jump to Bogota. Colombia.
 With the utmost confidence in his Curtiss Falcon hydroplane. especially built for him at the expense Of the Colombian republic. Lieutenant Mendez hopes to complete his home ward journey in 40 hours of actual flying. The trip may be extended over more than a weeks time. de pending upon weather conditions.
 Ut is not the shortest route which I might map out for return by air over a water route, but it is the safest,' the youthful flier says Tt may. 1 hope. show the way to the establishment of direct transport route from New York to Bogota that that would join the two republics more closely. Safety is the most important factor in the development Of regular air routes. and. although 1t would be more spectacular to try it non-s stop. the flight might not be so valuable"
 His plane, christened the Ri caurte" in memory of the great Co., lombian hero, is similar in design to the army falcons which Lieutenant Mendez became accustomed to fly ing in the United States air service. It has been equipped with pontoons. however. making possible water landings and providing space for an additional supply of 165 gallons of gasoline.
 Powered with a Dig motor, the plane is capable of flying l5O miles an hour with a light load and be- tween 140 and 145 miles an hour
New Britain herald., 1928-11-17

with a full load. Because the plane is exceptionally fast Lieutenant Mendez hopes to make the 1853 mile trip in less than 40 hours.
 Five sisters, two brothers and his father will wait the homecom- ing of young Mendez, who left them almost five years ago to become a flier. He entered the United States army flying school at San Antonio. Tex. in April. 1924, and a year later was given his wings" After two years in the United States he was recognized by his home government, and arrangements were made with the state department to permit him to visit the important army and navy air centers in the United States.

Back in Alaska to carry on for
 another season, the U. s. Geodetic
 survey vessel Surveyor, Captain R.
 R. Lukens, arrived in port Saturday
 from the South. The Surveyors re-
 turn to the Port of Seward seems
 more like greeting one of the family
 for during the period the vessel was
 stationed here last year, many fine friendships were cultivated by both
 townsfolk and the personnel of the ship. And all the boys look none the worse from a winter spent Outside.
 The auxiliary boats Helianthus and the Wild Cat are likewise back again the latter to work out of Fort Hol- bron and Kodiak.
 Captain Lukens, with the new equipment added to the vessel this year, expects to accomplish double the amount of work heretofore pos sible A fathometer has been install ed, which automatically gives depth soundings by means of radio device This apparatus is controlled from the pilot house and by means of an echo control register, sends intonations and then times the interval required for their transmission thru sea water and back from the ocean bed to the receiving apparatus, registering it automatically by means of light.
 Through this fathometer it is pos sible to take four soundings second while steaming full speed ahead However, treqeunt stops are made to \ obtain samples of the bottom.
 The second machine which will acilItate work enables the ship to work in the night or fog and to ob- ain it's position to within a half a boat length under any conditions. This is known as the radio acoustic method of locating the position of a ship.
 It also takes advantage of the speed of sound through water but the practice, with this machine, as com pared to the fathometer, is somewhat different Hydrophones, installed in ooxes set on large boxes of concrete, ire placed under water at known pos tions. The ship, then working in fog 0r out or Slght or Shore, e1plodeS a T N T bomb and the time between the explosion, it's reception by the hydrophone to the ship again, is reg lstered automatically to within a hundredth of second This device has proven regular and active for distances up to 75 miles.

 There are F officers on board and 63 men in the crew.

Everyday Law Cases
What Constitutes "CcntcmDt OF
Coart?"
BY THE COCNSEILOR,

Contempt Of court can be either di-
rect or constructive. Direct contempt
is an open insult in the courts pres
ence, manifested b. misconduct or by
| defiance of its powers. Constructive
contempt is an act done at a distance
which tends to degrade or obstruct the
administration of justice.
The following acts have been held
to constitute contempt of court:
Willful abuse of legal process, such
as instituting fictitious suits and know
ingly filing false pleadingS: destroying
)r concealing subject-matter of litiga-
ton: diSobeying or resisting courts
mandate; interfering with persons OF
property in the custody of the court;
attempting improperly TO influence the
jury: improper conduct by a juror;
falling to answer a summons; bribing
witnesses: threatening witnesses.
The punishment for contempt is
within the discretion of the court. and
the court may imprison or fine or dc
both, or may dismiss the offender.
Courts formerly had unlimited au.
thority when dealing with contemp,
cases, but statutes are being enacted IN
| almost all States limiting the power oi
the court by giving the offender righ,
to have his case reviewed by highe,
| court. There is considerable discussion
at present regarding the offenders
right TO a jury trial. the advocates oi
this reform contending that as con-
tempt proceedingS~are more in the ma
| ture of criminal case than a civil one
the accused should have the privilege
Of having his case tried before a jury.
