white cloud bank at an elevation OF
5000 feet so that he might arrive
at Port Au Prince on the exact

was reported from Santiago De Los
Caballercs and Cape Haitien.
A crowd of 5000 spectators in holi-

anxiously during the last half hour
when suddenly the Spirit of st. Louis
with it's famed pilot shot into view
from an unexpected quarter.
AS he stepped from the plane.
Lindbergh reached into the cockpit
and drew forth mail bag, tossing
it on the ground as in the old days
of his mail route flying. He carried
government mail from Santo Domingo
for Port Au Prince and Havana.

Hickman's own purported words that
he knew before he stole Marian
Parker from school and slew her that
kidnapping and murder were crimes
punishable by life Imprisonment and
death, came, back to weigh against
him at his sanity trial here today.
They were carried into the court
record by DR.. Frank NIikels, OF Holly
wood, an alienist called by the state
in it's efforts to prove cnat the
apparently unworried youth in the
prisoners docket was sane at the time
of the crime and consign him to
death for its commission.
Not only did he admit knowledge
OF the consequences CT the crimes he
was committing, the witness declared
but added this significant remark:
"I don't fear punishment, but I'd
rather not be hung"
All told, the prosecution sent foul
alienists to the witness box to tel
of the actions and reactions Of the
accused youth, whose mentality was
the subject OF attack throughout last
week by defending lawyers and an"
other group OF medical men.
Outstanding in the testimony ad-
duced today was the statement by
DR.. Victor Parkin, OF the Los Angeles
county insanity commission, thai
Hickman told him the killing OF the
schoolgirl was matter of self
protection to him. She had to bt
cut up, Dr. Parkin quoted the pris-
oner, and when 1 saw it had to bt
done, 1 just did it,"
Every expert medical witness sum

On one point: His firm belief thai
Hickman was sane when he abducted
killed and mutilated Marian Parker

opinions that the youth feigned in

the county officials This was de-
termined at the regular meeting of the
board of supervisors in Tombstone
yesterday at which time the commit

head of the Douglas city committee
on international airport action, met
with the board and presented the
pleas of the district for county sup
port for the international projec.
John B. Hart, member of the Doug
las chapter of the NJ A. A. foremost
aviation booster and the representative
of this district on the board of super
visors, outlined the program and the
sentiment of high officials before the
meeting. He related that Douglas
would have an international airport
regardless of who assisted in its build
ing but that he himself hoped and eX-
pccted that the county would own the
port.
In addition to this statement the
supervisors from the Douglas district
brought out that the meeting of Gov
ernor Fausto Topete of Sonora, and
Governor w. G. P Hunt, of Arizona,
which is to take place here early in
March or perhaps sooner is in every
sense of the word an. aviation confer

Cochise county interested in this pro-
posed international airport, but Aqua

are interested, Governor Topete Of So

Arizona is interested and the president
of the Republic of Mexico himself is
about to take action in the aviation
matter that is centered at Douglas and
Aqua Prieta.

action in the matter yesterday except
to agree on Friday as the day for an

trains. They hide themselves in
the wild mountain regions where
pursuit is most difficult and III
some places impossible.
FederalS are almost always
fighting or pursuing these bands
somewhere in these states but the
present campaign is upon a more
ambitious scale than usual. The
federal task is not to locate and
engage an organized enemy, but to
route out of many different
mountain hiding places numerous
guerrilla bands.
1t is hoped that the blockade
will prevent new men and supplies
from reaching them, and by in
creased garrisOnS in towns and
villages to prevent them from
loOting. 1t is expected to Starve
them out of the mountains even
tually and force them into an open
fight, meanwhile harraSsing them

utilities must be temporarily expand

The arrangement committee for the
Kansas City convention is to meet in
Washington next Thursday but its
members do not expect exciting de-
yelopments. The committee will look
over again the hotel situation and the
plans for fitting up the convention
auditorium, and will vote its approval

it still is too early to think seriously

WASHINGTON, Feb. CF9 = Plans
for the Kansas City republican nation
81 convention are passing through q
stage that is not unfamiliar to polite
ians who have had experience with
convention arrangements in the past.
When a convention city is selected,
it is expected by the party managers
to go the whole length in turning over
to the national committee what it has
in hotel space and other convention
facilities. Very frequently local in
terests do not fully realize the pres
sure that will be placed upon them in
this regard and when the acconlmoda-
tions offered to not meet the expecta-
tions Of the party arrangements COM
mittee, a threat is made to take the
convention elsewhere. Then there is
a revision upward all along the line
the arrangements committee is paci-
fled and the arrangements proceed.
Talk of taking the republican con-
vention away from Kansas City has
been very nebulous, and it apparently
disappeared entirely today when the
Kansas City housing committee an
nounced it would have four thousand
hotel rooms available. Chairman But
Ter and other national committee Of
ficials Immediately announced that the
incident was closed.

ser, according to the Mountain Echo,
and will take charge of the Echo's
gossip and humor column, which is
nothing short of what Scoop really

In the days of yore when Clurp and
Scoop attended a State institution
mot penaD together, it was Clurp's
wont to sit at the typewriter and rat
tie off two or three pages of funny
stuff" instead of writing deep-thought
editorials, as he was supposed to do.
AS a result, Clurp gave up his edi-
torial work on May 6 (there was a
reason) and secluded himself until a
few days ago when he appeared in
Keyser. Whether his sojourn in the
wilderness was for the good of the
people of keyser is question that
can only be answered by time. But
anybody with middle name like his
could get along anywhere.

COMMUNICATION ACHIEVEMENTS MARK
PROGRESS Of COUNTRY DURING 1927
Transatlantic Telephone Service Teeviion Opening Of The
Third Transcontinental Line; And Extension Of Long
Distance Service To Mexico And Saskatchewan
Among Notable Events

A review Of last years telephone
progress shows conclusively that there
was no diminution in the development
of the systems in the United States.
According to telephone officials there
are now about 18,500,000 telephones in
this country, net gain of more than
100000 during the past year. The
wire plant of the telephone companies,
now estimated to be about 63,000,00b
miles, was increased by about 100000
miles during 1921
Constantly people are finding new
uses for telephone service and at the
close of 1927 there was a daily aver
age of over 72,500,000 conversations
made in the United States. This means
an average of 205.8 conversations for
each man, woman and child in this
country.
The advancement and development
of the telephone art last year resulted
in transatlantic radio telephone con-
nections to Great Britain and long
distance service to the principal cities
In Mexico, and Saskatchewan, Canada.
Television, seeing by telephone, was
also demonstrated before large audi
ences.
Emphasizing the necessity for trans
continental telephone service, third
cross country line was placed in opera
ton between Minneapolis and Spo-
kane, Seattle and Portland, Oregon,
early in the year. This line supple
Iments the original transcontinental
line extending from New York to San
Francisco and southern route con-
Meeting New Orleans, Dallas, Ell Paso
and Los Angeles. The latter line was
opened to public service about four
years ago.
Research and development devoted
both to physical things and to methods
of operation have been perhaps the
most important basic factors in the
phenomenal growth and general i'm
provement in the quality Of telephone
service throughout the country. The
gradual extension in the range of tele'
phone communication (Which, during
1927. was so wildly illustrated by the
establishment of transatlantic tele
