HAVANA FLIGHT
Is PLANNED BY
LEVINE TODAY

ROOSEVELT FIELD, N. Y, Feb.
RJ=Charles A. Levine failed to
get off on a projected light to Ha-
vanas today, but planned to, start
with his monoplane, Columbia, OF
transatlantic fame at $50 O'Clock
tomorrow morning.
Levine said definitely that he
would fly to Havana, but would
not explain whyAe had loaded the
plane with enough gasoline for a
4O00-mile flight while Havana is
but 400 miles away, and specula-
tion was rife. d Also he declined to
explain. why David H. Strother OF
the NATIONAL Aeronautical associa-
tion was present to seal the baro-
graph, which is done ordinarily for
the purpose of establishing record
flights.
Wilmer Stultz, the Columbia 8
pilot, arrived at the field in the
early morning and the plane was
prepared for a take-off as soon as
there was enough. daylight, but Le-
vine and Miss Mabel Boil, Queen
of Diamonds who plans to be a
passenger on the flight, failed to
appear until nearly mid-afternoon.
Weather conditions had been ideal
for an early morning take-off, but
became less favorable as the day
woret on.
Levine was as close-lipped about
his plans as he was when he hop
ped into the Columbia last summer
without any announcement and ac-
coInpanied Clarence Chamberlain on
his flight to Germany. Miss Boil.
famed for the profusion of her
jewels, has for some time sought
fame as a long distance flier. She
tried to arrange with Levine to
take her as passenger when he
was considering return flight
from Europe last summer.

MEXICAN RANCH
OF HEARST MAY
Be CONFTSCATED

MEXICO CITY, Feb. A IT,
Property owned by company IN
which William Randolph Hearst,
American publisher, holds a ma
jority of stock, is threatened with
confiscation under the Mexican land
laws.
Julio Trens, well-known Mexican
journalist, has filed an information
with the government charging that
the Bavicora Development COM
pany has failed to comply with the
land laws and regulations requir-
ing a report to be filed with The
foreign office, mentioning the per-
centage of stock owned by foreign
ers. The penalty for failure to file
such report is forfeiture of the
property.
1t is alleged that the company,
situated in Chihuahua, is included
in the zone along the border barred
to foreign ownership Of agricultural
properties and that Hearst owns u
majority of stock in the company.
1t is not believed here, however,
that the government will take dras-
tic action, as the secretary of agri-
culture recently declared that the
government did not intend to con-
fiscate Hearst properties in Mexico
as a retaliation for the campaign
Of his publications against the gov
ernment.

NATIONAL ~. w.
SECRETARY HAS
ONE BUSY WEEK

When national board secretaries
come to the Douglas ", w. c. A.,
they lead a busy life. Miss Lucille
Lippitt, national board secretary of
the town department of the Y. w.
C. A., has made seven speeches
since her arrival in Douglas last
Tuesday afternoon. j
Immediately after reaching the
city, Miss Lippitt was the guest OF
honor at the Adventure club. This
was a particularly pleasing event,
because the members of this club,
who planned the party themselves,
are the very youngest members of
the Y. w. G, A. Later in the week,
the P. e. P. club entertained Miss
Lippitt by giving a delightfully."-
original play written by one of their
own number, Miss Elizabeth Beum-
| Ter. Miss Marguerite Harris and
Miss Della Zeano were other mem
bers of the cast. Miss Lippitt was
so pleased over the production that
she has asked for a copy OF the
play to be sent to the Arizona COM
mittee of the national board, the
] office of which is in Phoenix. Miss
Lippitt's talk upon the Girl Reserve
code is one which this club will not
forget.
At the junior Girl Reserve meet
/ ing on Friday, Miss Lippitt spoke
upon the meaning Of Girl Reserve
membership.
: Workers in the finance campaign
| had the chance to meet Miss Lippitt
personally at the tea given at the
" w. c.. A. on Wednesday and to
hear her words OF encouragement
upon the campaign. On Thursday
she spoke before the Kiwanis club
and on Friday before high school
students at their daily assembly. On
Thursday evening, Miss Lippitt
Mrs. A. W. Cotton, president of the
Y w. C. A., and Miss Grace lone
4 Gobel, general secretary of the To-
cal Y. w. c.. A., were guests of the
Bisbee association at their annual
A banquet held in the Warren com
munity church All three were
1 speakers upon the program.
Miss Lippitt has also been meet
ing with the program committee
planning. for the regional conference
" US ACIO A1Ou5ldo IuC 1dJCCI pal
OF the month. Local members oi
this committee are Mrs. John B
lCrowell, Mrs. Ed Leahy and Mrs
A. w. Cotton.
On Saturday afternoon, the Ad.
venture club started a new part OF
their years work. Miss Stella Au
Bile is beginning a course of instruc
tion for them in musical games and
J folkdancing.
Girls between the ages of nine
and twelve years are cordially in
vited to join this club.
Workers in the financial cam.
bpaign are sincerely working upon
the drive. Reports are not all in as
yet. Therefore it will be impos-
sible to state the final results OF
the first weeks work However, il
is with keen appreciation that the
leaders are noting how many are
the friends of the Douglas Y. w
C. A. Both the earnest, self-sacri
ficing services of those making the
drive possible and the financial re
sponses are causes for keen appre
!, citation and qualification.

over the matter, will give it suitable
attention to make it glad that it has
good master and clean enough to
make it unashamed to be seen by
their best friends. Dog owners who
give it that thought will have their

no danger of their pet getting ride

and an exchange of fleas with the
commoner dogs that are there be-

JENNINGS YELL
EYAH SILENCED
BY GRIM REAPER

Hugh Ambrose Jennings, for
more : than 35 years an outstand-
ing personality in organized base
ball, and for the last half of that
time probably the best Known and
most popular of the forceful char
acters in the baseball world, died at
Scranton, Pa, on Feb. l, following
an illness of some two years which
eliminated in an attack of spinal
meningitis.
Hugh Ambrose Jennings, pic
turesque diamond leader and a FAC
tor in the pennant drives OF nu-
merous championship teams during
a baseball career of more than
three and one-half decades, rose
to success in the sphere of profess
sional athletics from humble start
as breaker boy lin the coal fields
of Scranton, Pa.
Captain of the great Baltimore
Orioles in 1894, 1895 and 1896,
manager of three pennant-winning
Detroit teams in the American
league, and finally assistant mana
ger to John McGraw during the
four-year stretch in which the
Giants swept to the National league
pinnacle, Jennings was a conspicu-
Gus figure in the majors
The former Tiger pilot, who al
ways held the attention of fandom
by his nervous habit OF grass-pick-
ing on the coaching lines and his
well-known shout, "Eyah" first
drew the attention of baseball men
while playing shortstep for a semi
professional club at Leighton Pa,
in 1890.
Born on April 2, 1871, at Moo
lie, Pa, jennings quickly became q
favorite in the coal mining regions.
One year after joining the Leigh
ton club, however, he was signed
by the Louisville Nationals, who
traded him the following season
to the club with which he was to
rise to the peak of baseball great
ness-the Baltimore Orioles. There
Jennings forged the links of a
strong friendship with McGraw,
which was to endure throughout
the baseball careers of the two fa-
nous leaders.
Failing to purchase Jennings in
1906. the Detroit Tigers drafted
him the following year and immed-
lately installed him as manager-a
position he filled for IA years.
Jennings electrified the baseball
world by accomplishing the feat of
winning the American league flag
in his first season as pilot. He fol-
lowed with pennants in 1908 and
1909, although in each of the
worlds series the Tigers suffered
defeat at the handa of the National
league entry. Twice the Chicago
Cubs. turned back the Tigers and
in 1909 Pittsburgh turned the
trick.
Jennings resigned as manager of
the Tigers at the close of the 1920
season to become McGraw's first
lieutenant He was factor in the
success of the team in 1921, 1922,
1928 and 1924 In 1925 he was in
charge OF the club during the long
period in which McGraw was con-
fined to his home with Illness.
Jennings, graduate of Cornell.
found time between baseball cam
paigns to obtain an education and
master the law During the win
ter months he conducted law prac-
tice at Scranton, Pa.

"lgIoo" Type viii Be Built in

Possessions.

BY the Associated Press.
Recent experiments carried out al
the proving grounds at Indian Head
Md. have convinced naval officers that
the Nays newly adopted type Of con-
struction for high-eXploSive ammuni-
ton magazines is the safest thus far
developed for both congested and un-
limited areas.
The Bureau of Ordnance announced
yesterday that the result of the expert
ments was highly satisfactory and that
the new type represents the general
design to be followed in the construc-
ton of new ammunition depots at
Hawthorne, New. and III the Hawaiian
and Philippine Islands.
The new type, called 'igloo," because
of its small size and low dome, is con-
Structed entirely of reinforced concrete
and is fireproof.
To test the resistance of the con-
Struction. particularly to determine
whether sympathetic explosions would
occur i'll nearby magazines of the same
structure, the naval powder factory
detonated $500 pounds of INT in
an igloo magazine. Three partly eX-
posed igloos 25 feet away containing
Quantities of INT did not explode
but two collapsed under the pressure
Hereafter the new type Of magazine

 AND FUR BUYERS GO
 OUTSIDE FOR WINTER

R. J. Negus, pioneer Alaskan and for many years trader and fur buyer at Scammon Bay on the Boring Sea coast, and Norval D. Sheppard, merchant and r-buyer at Mountain View on the Yukon River, visited here last night. They are enroute to the states for vacation.
 MT. Negus has been in the Ter ritory since 1899 and this is his first trip to the States since 1900. He will go> to San Francisco, through the Panama Canal to flew Orleans and visit in Missouri and other eastern states during the winter, returning to Alaska next spring.
 MT. Sheppara will join his wife at Seattle and visit on the Pacific Coast for several weeks before re- turning north.
