Brooks took off from Titusville,
Fla, Saturday, bound for Miami
after his unsuccessful effort TO
make a nonstop flight from De-
trOit to Miami last week.
A beach patrolling policeman
found the wreckage three miles
from Sebastian this morning.
Ford officials, after a thor
ough examination of the fuse
lage, announced they believed
Brooks had not been pinned in
the cockpit when he fell.
Fellow aiImen pointed out that
Brooks had a nationwide repu-
tatiOn as Pest pilot, indicating
that his ability was far above
that of the average "good pilot
and they were at loss TO Jex-
plain the low dive into the ocean.
Brooks effort to prove the cx-
perimentaI ship fhc was flying
was practicable for distance hops
met with ilI-luck from the start.
He was forced down on his first
attempt to fly from Detroit to
Miami by inclement weather and
on his second effort last week, a
leaking gas line forced him down
only 200 miles short of the same
goal.

observations would have been inn
possible, he said, as his head was
constantly on the outside of the

all his "flying sense" to guide
the plane.
Until now," he said, there
has been no accurate idea of
the weight on the wings or the
stress on other parts Of the
plane. Maybe the wings are
needlessly reinforced, and may
be they are not strong enough.
1t is well known that long dive
ending with sudden jerk ON the
stick will cause tremendous
strain, even to ripping the wings
off completely. Until the wings
are taken apart it will not be
known just how much rough

WASHINGTON, Feb. 27 (P)-A bar
rage of objections to restriction on
Mexican immigration as proposed in
the Box Harris bills was laid down to-
day by opponents of the measure in
both the senate and the house. The
protests came from farmers and ranch

On the other hand letter from F.

er reached the house immigration
committee. urging enactment of the
legislation with the declaration that
when the Mexican labor supply was
cut off he expected to be more sue
cesSful through the use of white labor
than at present with Mexican workers.
He said the same arguments were used
several years ago against the japanese
exclusion act that now were being used
against the Box bill.
In the senate the first glimpse of the
panoramic picture which has been
viewed by the house committee was
unfolded before the senate irnmigra-

of Representative Garner, democrat,
Texas; Fred H. Bixby of Long Beach,

WARRINGTON, Feb. 81 R-The

to put both the republican and demo-
cratic parties on record for vigorous
prohibition enforcement will be laid
here tomorrow at a one-oay confer
ence in which representatives OF 80
or more national temperance organi-
cations will participate. A demand
also is to be made that the nominees
for the presidency and vice-presi-

such program.
Arrangements for the meeting call
for expressions from dry leaders who
have the active cooperation of Sena-
Olic and Jewish churcn affairs, and
for the adoption of resolutions call
ing for specific prohibition plans in
both party platforms.
In their efforts to get such COM
mitment from the republicans, those
who will confer here tomorrow will
have the active cooperation of Sena-
tor Borah, republican, Idaho. He
disclosed today that he would carry

Mr.. Borah is expected to head the
Idaho delegation to the convention
and probably will be member of
the resolutions committee as he was

in position to fight before the COM
mittee for a prohibition plank and to
work against any attempt to cover
the situation with general law en-

the giant navy dirigible Los Angeles
sped toward France Field tonight 60
complete the first nonstop flight OF
any craft from the CaLted States to

1t was expected at the navy de-
partment, that the airship would
reach the eastern end OF the Panama
canal about ten o'clock tonight, COM
pleting in about 40 hours the second
longest flight of her existence. z
From New York to Cuba the Los
Angeles averaged about 53 knots an
hour, but only A knots on the $50
mile stretch between Cuba and Ja-
maica.
The Los angeles will be made fast
to a portable mooring mast construct
ed in the United States under the
of Lieutenant Commander
c. E. Rosendahl, in command of the
Los Angeles. If the use OF this mast,
according to the navy department, is
successful, the field of operation of
lighter than air craft will be materi-
ally increased.
This temporary mooring mast at
France Field is only so feet high and
will keep the Los Angeles on the
ground and her control car and stern
win be supported by trucks which
will take up the strain of the ship.
She will be kept headed into the
wind at the mast by rotating around
the mast on the trucks.
No time has been set for the flight
back to the United States, that being
left to the decision of Lieut.. Com

Action against the policy of the
United Hebrew Trades in assisting
employers associations in obtaining
injunctions against the Retail Gro
Gerry and Dairy Clerks Union was
planned in a resolution adopted at a

hibit the union from conducting
strikes or carrying on any other reg
ular trade union procedure. The
meeting was called by the union.
The resolution puts the union on
record in favor of delegate confer
ence on the question. 1t suggests
that unions affiliated with the United
Hebrew Trades oppose the injunction
policy of it's officials and withdraw
all delegates who support this policy.
Louis Hyman, manager of the Joint
Board, Cloak and Dressmakers Union,
