kisses.
Brings Clothes
Miss Earhart wore a blue crepe

OF white fox, gray silk stockings
and patent leather pumps. Her
skirt came well down below the
knees. On her head was a toque
fashioned like an aviator's helmet
of close-lying feathers.
She explained that she had two
trunks of clothes on board the
Roosevelt that she had purchased
in London.
"Only two trunks" she remarked

She had flown in the first sea-

Mabel Boil Arrives In
England; TO Fly Or
Swim Back
By international News Service

.
PLYMOUTH, England, July s.
Miss Mabel Boil, whose ambition
to be the first woman to fly from
American to Europe was frus-
trated by Miss Amelia Earhart,
arrived from New York today,
declaring she would fly back.

America or else swim" said the

assistance he could to the airmen
and help them on their. way, said.
a later dispatch from Natal. Ammedi-
ately after word was flashed from
Touros that the Italian seaplane
was down there a caravan Of motor
cars set out for that place from
Natal
Radio Confused
Following the long hours of sus-
pense there was much rejoicing
here over the news that the daring
airmen had at last been found.
After hoping off at Genipabu
Beach. 10 miles north of Natal last
night the aviators did not fly at
once in the direction of Rio. In
fact. there was some doubt as to
their intentions. The Italians said
they were going to look, for a better
landing field and turned northward.
Governor Lamartine, who was
attempting to keep in touch with
the course of the flight, sent word
to Rio at $3.50 a. m, brazilian
timel that he had not received any
word from the Italian plane since
it hoped off at Genipabu Beach.
The radio station on Cape North.
which has been trying to get word
from the airmen. reported that it
had been unable to get any reply.
Storm Dangerous
Meanwhile word had been received
that the storm on the northeastern
coast had increased in violence.
At s o'clock this morning the
Brazilian seap1ane 'Lactecoere"
hoped off at Natal to fly up and
down the coast in search of the
Italian machine.
A Brazilian seagoing tug, with
the commander of the Natal port
aboard, set out to comb the beaches.
While there was considerable
anxiety, it was believed in official
circles that the radio apparatu on
the italian plane was in trouble
and that there was no immediate
cause to fear for the safety OF the
airmen. 1t was hoped here that
the plane had not been damaged
and that the italians could continue
their flight to this city today
weather permitting.

to fears they had made a forced

an airpiane had been sent out from

for coast line detours.
The weather was bad off the
coast with storms sweeping some
sections OF it, but the flyers SAID
they would risk it.
Radio stations on the northeast
orn coast tried to get into wireless
communicate ton with the airmen, but
failed. 1t was reported that the
Clinda station near Pernambuco had
picked up a message from the plane
at 3 a. M, but this was officially
denied by the state telegraph
agency.
People Rejoice
Finally word came through from
Touros that the Italian plane had
been picked up" This left it in
doubt as to whether radio COM
munication with the fliers had been
established or whether the plane
had come down.
Immediately afterward another
telegram referred to the reception
to the filters" indicating they had
made a forced landing. AS Touros
is so miles north of Natal and Rio
De Janeiro is south of Natal. the
indications were that the filters got
lost in the thick weather and had
circled through the clouds after los

reason for its action the theory that Miller
has suffered conviction and the disgrace at
tendant upon it," which is sufficient.
This is the identical argument that was
used when the lady CRATER and former secre-
tary of state of New York, Mrs. Florence
Knapp, received the trivial sentence of thirty
days in jail after stealing enormous amounts
of money that she distributed among the
members of her family.
The release on such grounds Of capitalist
politicians, who neglected to cover up their
graft, reveals the class distinctions that pene-
trate even to the cell blocks of prisons. 1t
is based upon the conception that those who
have once served as political tools of capt.
talism are made of different material than
workers who are thrown into jail for violation
of the capitalist class code; the theory that
the mere conviction amid attendant disgrace
are to "a sensitive mind adequate punish
ment. That was the motive in the case of
Mrs. Knapp. 1t is the reason that is urged
by the parole board in the case of CRATER
Miller.
politician, male or female, who steals
millions is honored by the ruling class and
held to be of finer material than ordinary
mortals. On the other hand poor, unem-
ployed worker who is driven by poverty to
steal loaf of bread in order that his family
may be able to exist for day longer is re-
garded as totally devoid of human feelings,
and should he ask to be released before his
prison sentence expires on the claim that his
sensibilities have been shocked he would be
taken to the insane ward. If poverty or the
fear of poverty drives working class woman
or girl to the streets she receives no consd-
Grafton from capitalist courts or parole
boards, though she may be just as sensitive
as Mrs. Knapp.
Such glazing examples of class distinction
in courts and prisons serve one useful pur-
pose; they serve to unmask further the role
of capitalist law and order as class instru-
ment and to bring the government and all It's
institutions into contempt by the exploited
masses.
