NEW YORK. July 7.-,P)-The

Monday from Havre, has among other
passengers, Morton Hoyt, member Of
a socially prominent Washington
family, who jumped overheard off
the Grand Banks and was rescued IN
twenty minutes.
At o'clock last night when the
ship was plowing its way through a
dense fog, the cry man overheard"
was raised and it was learned that
Hoyt had plunged into the Atlantic.
The vessel Immediately turned in a
complete circle and started back
along its course with Captain Leon
Rollin directing the search from the
bridge. Within twenty minutes Mr..

for help. A lifeboat was lowered and

OF
LOWenStein Still
Puzzles Europeans

eral hours cruising about the spot IN
q tug in a fruitless search.
Tests made at a lie Bourget air
drome, France, to determine whether
ii was possible to open the door Of a
plane in flight showed it was not
easy to do so. Two mechanics using
a plane similar to that from which
Lowenstein disappeared with the
motor running az full force found
that the air pressure was so great that
the combined strength Of the two
men was just sufficient 10 open the
door wide enough to permit one of
thenT 20 pass through it. Yet friends
of Lowenstein maintain he often
opened the door of his plane to look
out over the sea and the landscape.
Rumors that the whole affair was
a hoax were circulated in brokers Of
fices and other concerns interested
in dealings of the stock exchanges
of London, Paris, Berlin and Brus-
sells. One suggestion was that Low
enstein never left Croydon. Another
rumor was that he landed with the
plane somewhere between Croydon
and Dunkirk, where IL was first seen
to land, and disappeared, or that he
vanished in a motorcar after landing
at Dunkirk.
Newspapers recalled that mys-
terious deaths Of prominent persons
had always been followed by such re-
ports.
The London Daily Mail commenting
on the rumors of a disappearance
said that the captain Of the Titanic
was reported as having been seen IN
New York after the sinking Of that
vessel. IL was also recalled that for
a long time the belief had persisted
that Lord Kitchener lived after the
torpedoing of the Hampshire in the
World war.
The Daily Express quoted an un'
named intimate friend of Lowensteir
as saying the Belgian was subject tc
sudden heart attacks due TO an alb
normal blood pressure of more thar
200 millimeters instead Of the normal
$50. The discovery Of his collar and
tie in the plane suggested to the
friend the possibility that Lowensteir
had ripped these off to gain reliei
from a sudden attack. Finding this
insufficient he was thought to have
forced open the door, splintering the
wooden frame. to get fresh air. col
lapsed from the exertion and plunged
to his death.

Had No Dress OF
White So Girl Is
Stunned By Class

MILWAUKEE. July 7.-CPl-Grace
Soldt, who had looked forward to
sitting with her classmates on the
platform and receiving her public
school diploma, missed out on the
climax Of her school year because
she didn't have a white dress. To-
day the school board was asked TO
do something about il.
An affidavit states that Grsce's
mother purchased a colored dress
for her a month before the date OF
graduation. A few days later the
school principal. Miss Sarah J. Car
roll, announced the girls should
wear white dresses.
The family was not in a position
to purchase another dress, the affi-
davit says, and the girl wore her
colored gown. She was asked 70
leave the room. the girl said. and
was given her diploma privately the
next day.

Lone Deputy In Pos
session of Structure
Which Has Been
Center of Strife

DALLAS, Texas, July 7.-(Pi-ItS
smooth tin roof, bare of paint, re-
flecting heat waves from a blazing
sun and the region about it as silent
as the vaulted precincts of some
ancient cathedral. the half finished
Fundamentalist Baptist tabernacle
stood huge and gaunt under guard of
one deputy sheriff today.
The scores of overalled, bonneted
women who for two days shaved to
complete the gigantic, sprawling
structure, failed to return TO their
hot, hard work despite their threats
TO dare Jail under an injunction re-
quiring the halting Of construction.
Vigilance Of the officers was di-
rected in the main against some
two-score women members of the
congregation of the Rev. Earl Ander-
son who persisted in working on the
structure after Judge Towne Young
issued an injunction enjoining "men"
from completing the tabernacle until
a hearing on whether the injunction
shall be made permanent can be had
next Wednesday
Charges Of property owners in the
vicinity Of the site of the tabernacle
that building ordinances OF the city
were being violated led Judge Young
to issue his first injunction, and
when the Rev. Anderson failed to
obey the courts orders TO desist work
Judge Young fined the minister sl0C
and costs and remanded him to Jail.
When deputy sheriffs went to the
tabernacle yesterday, they found
about fifty women, many in overalls,
laying the roof and asserting that
Judge Young's injunction against
men" did not apply 70 them. The
officers retreated to the courthouse,
and Judge Young issued second in
junction, restraining men. women
or persons" from continuing the
work. BY the time they returned, the
women had knocked off for the day,
but promised TO return today.
The Rev. j. Frank Norris, pastor OF
the First Baptist church Of Fort
Worth, preached in the partly con-
structed tabernacle last night. He
has been active in promoting the
building Of the tabernacle, and in
scathing terms has denounced Judge
Young's action in preventing the
building of a church"
The Rev. Mr.. Anderson said he
would remain in jsil until his protest
against Judge Young's injunction
had been heard throughout the coun-
try.

German AviatOrs

DESSAU. Germany, July 7.-tFD--
The German aviators, RisticE and
zimmerman, established "a new
worlds record for a duration flight
today. At 1884 o'clock this after
noon they had surpassed by an hour
the Italian record of 81 hours, "a
minutes, and were still flying.
After they had been in the air
more than so hours the two pilots
dropped a message stating that they
intended TO continue until darkness
At the 60-hour mark they had even
passed the Belgian record estab-
lished on June of so 1-22 hours,
which was Of doubtful recognition
since the Belgian plane had been re-
fueled while in flight.

TREATY aims
OFCALIFORNIA
OUTLINED
Wiling to Concede to
Mexico Ample Wat
er to Irrigate Pre-
sent Development

That the Lower Rio Grande Valley
is not opposed to the Boulder Can
yon dam project, providing the inter-
ests OF Mexico are properly protect
ed, was the assurance given Ira Aten,
director OF the Imperial Valley ir-
rigation district, at a meeting of
water district managers and water
users at San Benito Friday night.
Mr.. Aten made a plea for Valley
support, stating that the Boulder
Canyon dam is necessary to the I'm
perial Valley. He discussed the aims
of that section in regard TO the pro-
posed treaty with Mexico on water
distribution, stating that the I'm
perial Valley was willing 10 concede
to Mexico sufficient water to irrigate
the 100000 acres now under cultiva-
tion.
"The Lower Rio Grande Valley and
the Imperial Valley are mutually in
terested in the proposed treaty with
Mexico" Mr.. Aten said. There
should be no conflict Of interests.
Every drop of water in the Colorado
falls upon American soil, but we are
willing to concede sufficient water
to irrigate the present development
on the Mexican side. However, we
will oppose the use OF Colorado water
for the irrigation of additional de-
velopment."
Relative to the statement attribut-
ed to Judge Childers, attorney for
the Imperial Valley irrigation dis
trict, at the Denver conference last
autumn, he asserted that Childers
had been misquoted and had not stat
ed that the Boulder Canyon dam
would cut off the Mexican water
supply. He had testified that il
could" cut off the supply, not that
it would" Mr.. Aten said.

4,377 miles by airline from Monte

duration flight record at Is hours,
"a minutes and 25 l-2 seconds. IL is
unlikely that they will be credited
with the SO hour record since the
previous mark must be bettered by
at least one hour to be recognized.
Fog, the Ambassador said, blocked
their attempt to reach Rio Janeiro
which they would have made without
difficulty in the elapsed time. In
stead of landing at Point Genipabu,
10 miles north of Natal, as reported
at first, they flew so low as 70 make
it appear that they had touched the
ground. Then they continued on IN
the fog and darkness searching for a
suitable landing place for their large
plane. Finally they came down on
the wet and sandy beach at Touros
damaging the wheels Of their plane.
The men were not hurt
At times the fog was 20 dense
that they flew only 80 feet from the
ground. The flyers told the ambas-
sador that during their flight from
Rome they had encountered all kinds
Of adverse weather, fog, winds, rain
and even hail. They managed to fight
their way through this, however, and
only when their fuel began to run
low did they think Of landing. For
three hours they flew back and forth
in the blackness, skimming the water
in search Of a safe landing place un-
til they decided to come down Al
Touros. There the heavy plane sank
into the sand damaging the wheels
The plane will be taken to Natal for
repairs.

placed one Of it, planes at the dis
posal of the Italians. Acting on IN
struction from Rome. however they
declined the offer and will continue
their flight to Rio JGneiro in their
own plane when il is repaired.
