TAKE OFF
OF PLANE
DEFERRED
Engine Trouble Prevents
"AlbatrOss" Getting Up
This Morning.
TO TRY TOMORROW.
Minor Difficulty Will Be
Adjusted Today and
Start Made at 6 a. ma

While hundreds waited patiently,
then impatiently at the Imperial
County Airport this morning for the
Albatross to take off in an effort
to set new worlds endurance re-
cord, the center motor of the big
ship refused to function properly
and after more than four hours of
tinkering the start was finally
postponed until tomorrow. The
pilots will make their third effort
to get the Albatross into the air at
$50 a. m. tomorrow, it was an
nounced.
cit was certainly another bad
break for u.s. declared Sterling
Price, president of the Zenith cor
poration this morning. "Every-
thing was i'll perfect condition for
a takeoff. The wind was right, the
atmospheric conditions in every
manner were perfect but we just
couldn t 90. Well it will be num-
Der three tomorrow morning and q
three is always regarded as lucky
All seemed set for the start at
$50 O'Clock this morning. The
last bit of tinkering to the various
parts of the plane had been cared
for and the gasoline placed aboard.
The pilots conferred over the gaso-
line, the initial load being 1884
pounds. They finally desided to
make it an even 1900 gallons and
the additional gasoline was put into
the tanks.
The wind was a little bit unfav.
orable at that time and while cam
era men were swapping pictures of
the flyers and last minute prepara-
tions were being made it began
changing to more northern wind
and was perfect some 90 minutes
later.
The pilots hoped into the plane
shortly after o clock for the take
off. Considerable trouble was then
experienced in getting the engine
beneath the left wing started. At
ter numerous attempts the mecha-
mics shifted to the engine under the
right wing and got that under
way. The center engine was then
started and after several at
tempts the balky engine under the
right wing was spun into action.
The process of warming up the mo-
tors was then begun while the hun
dreds gathered about the plane,
dashed down the field to await the
take-off. This was at approximate
ly 7:40 O'Clock and all looked for
the big plane to sail into the air q
few minutes later. But they wait
ed in vain.
Revolutions Below Par
The pilots after warming up the
motors tested them out for revofu-
tions. The two wing motors topped
the mark of 1900 revolutions per
minute to perfection but the center
motor refused to respond. Try as
they might the pilots could not get
better than 1000 revolutions out~of
the propeller.
They worked with it for time
believing that it would warm up
sufficiently to thaw out the tron-
ble but it failed to respond. Then
they began checking up on the var
ious features of the motor. Tho
trouble was finally placed as in the
oil. The mechanics pumped oil
into the motor and tinkered with

Bindle Stiffs' keep away.
That was the warning issued
today by Joe o 'Brien, county
recorder, who represents the law

ENDORSES
ANTI-WAR.
PROPOSAL
Hughes Assures Havana
Conference Americans
Favor Move.
PLEDGES SUPPORT
Proposes Appointment
of Committee For Arbi-
tratiOn.
BY HARRY w. FRANTZ
Omitted Press Staff Correspondent

HAVANA, Feb. 1.-THE Mexi-
can proposal for the outlawry of
aggressive warfare, coupled with
the sincere endorsement of Charles
Evans Hughes of theUnited States,
today loomed as one of the out
standing developments of the Pan
American conference.
The proposal originally was intro
dueed before the public internation-
nj law committee by DR.. Gonzales
Roa, with full consent of the Mexi-
can delegation, because the Mexi.
cans felt there had been too fre-
quent references to warfare in the
Americas.
The proposal gained great momen.
tum when Hughes, former secretary
of state of the United States, in Il
brilliant speech endorsed the propo.
sitiQn and gave two concrete sug-
gcstions as to the practical working
out of such a proposal.
In pledging support to the propos-
al against aggression, Hughes said:
a wish to join with you in this
effort to the full extent of my abil-
ity. If we cannot complete it now
let us prepare for a future day when
we can accomplish our purposes
with full consideration of all the
questions which necessarily arise.
Cites Two Plans
"I desire to show to you the sim
cere cooperation of the United
States which is opposed to any act
of aggression; which desires to see
force eliminated from this g hemis-
pherc; which is seeking nothing but
the good order, the independence
and prosperity of all the American
states.'
He cited two proposals Ito aid
such plan of nOn-aggression. One
was commission to settle b0un-
dary disputes, such as is in effect
in the United States and Canada.
The other was to decide on the arbi-
tration committee to settle disputes
and especially the person who
should make the deciding vote.
Hughes suggested n committee of
three prominent jurists, none from
the western hemisphere, who would
appoint the fourth member.
The proposal against warfare and
the subsequent endorsement by
Hughes brought great acclaim from
the delegates.

Charge.
BY WILLIAM E. HALLBERG
UNITED Press Staff Correspondent

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Feb. IL
Governor Ed Jackson stood acqui-
tied today on q charge of cOnspir-
ing to bribe former Governor
Warren T. McCray.
Judge Charles McCabe upheld late
yesterday a defense motion for Il
directed verdict of acquittal pres
ented after the state had rested its
ease.
The motion was based on the de-
fense s contention that the state
Lad failed to prove Governor Jack
son acted to conceal the alleged
crime and therefore, under the stat
ute of limitations, he was not guilty.
The statute of limitations, which
the court ruled applied in Govern
or Jackson 8 trial, outlaws a crime
more than two years old, unless it IS
proved the defendant attempted con-
cealment.
Judge McCabe s opinion contain
ed Il denunciation of the Ku Klux
Khan, alleged to have played a lead
ing part in the political intrigue
which resulted in Jackson s indict-
nlgut.

Labor Conditions
Found Satisfactory

North Dakota's December SHOWS
proved blessing in more than one
disguise. for they gave hundreds of
laborers temporary work clearing
street. and highways.
The summary Of employment con-
ditions for North Dakota during
December, issued today by Richard
7. Jones, Minneapolis district direc-
tor Of the United States labor de-
partment, discloses this fact.
Ignite coal mines in the west
ern part of the state are furnishing
employment to more than 1000
men and this condition will con-
tinue through the winter months,
Jones report says. Manufacturing
plants, the report says, generally
are employing normal quotas, while
a surplus Of building-trades men is
reported.
Conditions in Fargo and Grand
Forks during December as given by
the report follows:

regarded as n possibility that the

ELTINGE THEATRE

One reason for the widespread
success Of the motion picture "Beau
Sabreur," is the fact that while
melodramatic heart-stirring mo.
ments are replete throughout the
production, the comedy touch >has
not been forgotten.
Joan Standing, in the role Of
Maudie, the simple English maid
of Evelyn Brent, offers portrayal
that is distinctly different and is
the reason for many a chuckle. Miss
Standings knowledge of humor aids
the picture to considerable de-
gree.
But the main comedy laurels 60
to Noah Berry, as the Sheikh Ell
Hamel, apparently a fierce tribe
leader and power on the Sahara,
and Roscoe Harms, his grand vizier.
In some Of the most dramatic mo-
ments, the Indifferent air of both
serves to relieve the tension ma
terially.
It turns out that the Sheikh Ell
Hamel is, instead of being such a
mighty and fearless person, just a
human being, deserter from the
Foreign Legion, who has had the
glory thrust upon him. His grand
vizier was his companion in the
army.
The audience is not let into that
secret for several reels, and it
comes somewhat as a surprise, but
it is a laughable one.
"Beau Sabreur," a sequel to the
famed Beau Geste," is being shown
at the Eltinge theatre today, to-
morrow and Wednesday. The ex-
ceptional cast in this picture, direct
ed by John Waters, features Gray
Cooper in the title role, Mitchell
Lewis, Arnold Kent, Evelyn Brent,
William Powell, Joan Standing and
Raoul Paoli.

At the Movies
CAPITOL THEATRE

"A Mans Past" the Universal.
Jewel production which marks the
first screen appearance of Conrad
veidt, noted European star, in an
American starring-production, has
been booked to be shown at the
Capitol theatre for today, Monday
and Tuesday.
The picture Is said to be one Of
the greatest dramas ever filmed
and in addition to Veidt, embraces
long list of we'll Known players
including Ian Keith, Barbara Bed
ford, George Siegmann, Corliss
Palmer and Charles Puffy. It was
directed by George Melford, re-
sponsible for many well known
photoplays and was supervised by
Paul Kohner.
"A Mans Past" is a screen adap-
tatiQn Of the celebrated Hungarian
play of the same name written by
Emerich Foeldes, and deals with
the efforts Of an escaped convict
from q French prison to rehabili-
tate himself before society. The
prison scenes are accredited with
being the most realistic ever pic
turized and Vcidt's subsequent cs-
cape from his solitary cell is a
most vivid portrayal.
