been enough for so hours flying.

CEDAR ISLAND LODGE, Brule
River, Wis, September 6.-They have
commenced packing at the Summer
White House preparatory to leaving
early next week for Washington. The

feeling is general that he has made up
his mind but prefers to withhold an
nouncement.
The task of packing the Presidents
and Mrs. Coolidges personal belongings,
as well as the many household articles
brought here from the White House,
is no small matter. 1t was begun yes
terday and Is being superintended by
Mrs Coolidge.
Mr.. Coolidge shows no concern about
this detail, but has given very specific
orders that he did not want any of his
fishing paraphernalia touched during
the packing. He served notice that he
will personally tuck his fishing things
away when the time comes.
The President and Mrs. Coolidge at
tended the Tri-State fair at Superior
yesterday afternoon. receiving an Ova-
ton as they entered. They remained
an hour and quarter, seeing two trot-
ting races and part of a vaudeville per-
Torrance. Mr. Coolidge tied a ribbon
about the neck of prize bull.
On the way to the fair grounds
George Harris. motor cycle officer,
clearing the streets for the presidential
party, collided with a motor car, suf-
fering broken arm and other injuries.
Learning of the accident, the Coolidges
called at the hospital
Walter H. Newton, head of the speak
ers bureau of the Republican national
committee, will come here Friday.

bombers of the Langley Field second
b0mbardment group. landed here at

miles in advance of the formation,
which last night was at Shreveport, La.
The Falcon and the bombers became
separated near Macon, Ga, on Tues
day in a maze of tree-top clouds, fog
and rain. Since then the Falcon has
pushed on, blazing the trail" and
spreading the word of the coming of
the armada, as we'll as assisting in ar
ranging for fueling the big ships when
they arrive at the points designated.
Lieut.. Upston delayed the take-off at
Shreveport. La, until 1880 O'Clock,
Eastern time, yesterday. in the hope
that the bombers would catch up, SO
that the flight could be continued to-
gether He took off. however. when
word came through that the bombers
had again encountered bad weather
early in the morning just out of Mont
gomery, Ala. turned back, and then

les Becomes Separated in Fog
Over Georgia.

The Falcon hoped off from Shreve-
port airport with a light load OF gas
oline owing to the slope of the field
and the lack of wind, and flew to
Dallas, where additional fuel was TAX
en- on to give a total of $50 gallons.
The heavy pathfinding plane then
showed off for Midland at $40 and
covered the 325 miles of continuous
landing fields in this country in three
hours fiat The route by way of Mid
land was decided upon when 1t be-
came necessary to speed up the expe-
dition in order to arrive in Los An
geles by the 9Th.
The bombers, with their weather
misfortunes are a little behind sched-
ule. but by taking the route Lieut. Up
ston now Is on more than $50 miles
of flying can be saved and likewise a
much better flying country lies under
meath.
Originally the bombers had planned
to go to Ell Paso by way of San An
tonic and Maria. The total distance
by Midland is ITO miles, while by way
of San Antonio it is 1856 miles.
Lieut.. Upston last night planned to get
an early start and fly to Ell Paso on

SHINES MAY WIN
HIS RELEASE SOON
Germans Lack Details of
Case as Court Keeps
Affair Secret.
BY EDGAR ANsWEL MOWRER.

By Radio to The Star and Chicago Daily
News. Copyright 1928.
BERLIN, September 6.-Unless ap-
pearances are deceptive, Hugo SHINES,
jr., may expect to be released from
prison within few days. as his evidence
has been considered and weighed in all
its details.
The SHINES affair continues to inter-
est Germany, although no one seems to
know exactly what has happened. That
young SHINES was mixed up In an
alleged plot to defraud the German
state of large sum seems fairly GER
tain.
It further seems certain that this
manipulation involved a number of
foreigners and a number of Germans.
The courts are doing everything pos
sible to keep the affair secret and it is
even suspected that the judges private
secretary has been giving information to
friends of Shines Nevertheless, The
writer has the impression that SHINES
will be released and that everything
possible will be done to hush up the
affair and prevent the explosion of a
vast scandal which might involve many
other persons guilty OF the same prac-
tees as SHINES.
1t still is possible SHINES did not

advanced his secretary funds for specu-
lation in war bonds.
An interesting feature of the case is
the fate that seems to hang over the
SHINES family. Born rich, the two
SHINES boys seem to have grown up
with a kind of omnipotence complex.
Even the encounter with the German
banks after the death of their father
when the elder son. Edmond. left the
concern. does not seem to have dimin-
ished Hugo's self-confidence. nor does
The fact that his concern was only
saved by American assistance appear to
have weakened his belief that the son
of his father can do as he pleases.
Hugo was his fathers favorte son and
was trained to inherit the great SHINES
interests. Foreigners here consider his
that with the passage of time he will
cast o: his imperial manners
The transactions now being tested by
the courts date back to 1925. and the
present situation of the concern is be-
lieved to be f1rst-claSs.
