Boston, May R-Attorney Gen. eral Arthur K. Reading. whose cross examination before a special legisla- tive committee investigating his con- duct in office was suspended yester- day on account of his illness, was confined to his bed today. It was reported that his condition was somewhat improved, however, and it was expected that he might be able to resume his testimony Mon- day
 The hearing before the investigat- ing committee proceeded today with the cross examination of Joseph 4. Lincoln of Worcester a former vice. president of the United L. A. W. corporation and a director of its subsidiary organizations.
 Boston, May { (UP)-Joseph 4. Lincoln of Worcester was cross ex- amined at today's session of the Reading inquiry as to preliminary discussions regarding the relations of the United L. A. W. Acceptance corporation with its subsidiaries be- fore the situation was brought to the attorney-general's attention.
 Lincoln testified that some of the group felt 1t was rather danger ous to broach the matter to MT. Reading" and that some felt that "Mr. Reading would handle 1t from a criminal point of view"
 According to testimony 1t finally was decided that Lincoln should dis cuss the matter with the attorney general.
 You went then to placate the at torney-general?" asked Major Thos. J. Hammond. counsel for the inves- tigating committee.
 T went there to discuss the situ- ation with him." said Lincoln.
 During the early discussions 1t was said that MT. Reading was i'm pulsive and might go off the ham, dle?"
 "Yes."
 Some of you felt that there *as grave danger that criminal proceed ings would be taken from the attor- ney-general's officer"
 We did"
 'In the small group before mat ter was taken up with MT. Read ing. you talked about the danger of scandal?"
 "Yes."
 'What scandal could there be-" queried Hammond.
 "A great deal of money had been raised. The groups of directors were men of high standing in the com munity. It was decided that 1t would be better to settle the matter with out discussion"
 The inquiry then turned 10 a meeting on November 1 at which Reading was present. Under ques- tioning the witness said the question of how much much Louis A. Wolfe, president of l.. A. w.. had profited from the contingent fund, and whether he had fraudulently and criminally handled 1t. was discussed. Reading entered into the gen. eral discussion there that evening""
 "Yes. that's right"
 "Was there any solution?"
 There was a general feeling that an audit of the parent company was necessary"
 At the meeting in Readings of flee. according to the witness. Read ing told Wolfe that charges had been made that he (Wolfe) had built up exaggerated costs and had rendered excessive charges: that the contingent fund was beyond rea- sonable amount. and that the pay roll was not properly distributed. The witness quoted the attorney general as saying that the charges were grave and that the matter must be strengthened out. Reading said. according to Lincoln. that If the charges were true, Wolfe was to re. imburse the subsidiaries and turn | over his stock.

| While the plane generally duplicates

and larger Stabilizer, to insure better
| control, have been installed. There Is
| also an increased aileron area.
From construction point of view
the fuselage is made entirely of steel.
welded at all joints. with bays suitably
braced against strain by diagonal mem-
bers. The chassis is of split-type con-
struction. axle of heat-treated chrome
molybdenum steel tubing: the hydraulic
ock-abSorbing gear being the latest
available type. The absorbing gear is
| pivoted at the upper end. at a junction
with the front wing strut and braced
forward and up TO the fuselage in an
proved manner.
The spars are built of specially Sc
lected straight grain spruce. inclosed in
!
signed for any extreme load the flying
colonel might impose upon them. The
wing is built in one continuous panel,
attached at each upper longeron joint
with a steel fitting.
Two gasoline tanks are placed in the
wing on each side of the fuSelage
These tanks are made of terneplate, es-
pecially prepared against rust and cor
rosion. Provision also is made for In
ternal bracing passing through the
tanks. The oil tank is made of terne-
plate and contains 10 gallons Of lubrt-

1870 pounds: loaded $500. With four

speed 1876 miles an hour and land at
speed OF 40 miles an hour. From
sea level he can soar heavenward at
the rate of 200 feet minute after

Here. then, is practicable flying ma
chine: not a stunt plane for long and
hazardous fights. II is outfitted for
both day and night flying. yet indicates

Charge for your lemonade?"
Five cents glass" replied George.

Two cents glass;" replied Harry.
The pastor cast censorious eyes upon
George and said to Harry: I'm try
a glass OF yours, my boy"
AS he quafIed the fluid he smacked
his lips and said: That's good. I'll
have another glass" and he smiled
when he thought he vas getting two

use in controlling his plane He starts
the motor by combination electric

available for use should the electric
starter motor fail. He moves windshield

Glass windows have been installed low
down on the sides to permit greater
visibility.
