DOLLAR LINE TO
PROVIDE PLANES
As EQUIPMENT
BY United Press Lease q Wire

LOS ANGELES, June 1.-See the
Orient without rickshaw, Venice
without a gondola, the pyramids
without camel-it $ the vision Of
the Dollar Steamship Company.
The future vessels of that round
the-world line will carry seaplanes
for passenger use, X. Stanley Dol
lar, vice president, said before he
left here for San Francisco this
morning.
"'There is no speculation in this
venture" he emphasized. -" Mod
ern competition demands speedy
adoption Of modern methods of
travel. The donkey carts must
give way to the air craft. Our new
ships will be equipped with auXlll,
arv seaplanes which will be used
solely for sightseeing.
The Dollar line intends to built
five new ships during the next TWO
years. Each of the vessels will cos'
$G,000.000. Each will be equipped
with auxiliary sea planes.
When foreign ports are reached
the planes will be lowered to the
water and round -the-world sight
seers will be permitted to see the
foreign countries from above.
The development is natura
one, according TO Dollar, and even
tually will be adopted by all steam
ship lines. He merely hopes that
his company will be first in Tho
parade.
The Dollar company program Il
to be in the nature Of a tribute tC
! Robert Dollar, pioneer seaman O
the Dollar line, who will reach hi'
I S5th birthday next year.
The planes are to carry SIX O
eight passengers. In order to care
for the space necessary for shelter
ing the heavier than air convey
ances, the new steamships will b'
luilt 100 feet longer than any o.
those now used by Dollar.
Airplane travel will not be stress
ed by the Dollar line. 1t intend
rather to give flying to those whit
care to fly and donkey carts t.
those who prefer mules.
Later, Dollar says, they all viii
want to fly.

MISSING A WEEK
No Word Heard From Big
Dirigible Since Friday OF
Last Week.
BY LARS HANSEN

United Press Special Correspondents
KINGS Bay, Spitzbergen, June l.
Stern men who have braved the
ugors of the Arctic to extend
scientific understanding of that
zone joined today in a magnificent
effort to save one of their select
group, General Umberto Mobile, and
his aides, of the dirigible Italia.
The Italia has been missing n
week. 1t was shortly before noon
last Friday that the dirigible re-
ported that it was making slow pro-
gIess down from the pole towards
Kings Bay. Since then there has
been only silence from the great
aircraft.
Today such famous figures as
Roald Amundsen, Lincoln Ellsworth,
Captain RHser-Larsen and others
joined to help locate the polar diri-
gAle.
These illustrious men are all vet
cIan explorers of the polar waste
land.
AS understood now, Ellsworth, an
american, Will finance the expedi-
tion. Captain Riser Larsen and
Lieutenant Luetzow Holm-the lat
ter one of Norway's S great flyers
will aid Amundsen. Lieutenant
Deitrichsen, who has obtained
leave from the flying corps to go
to the south pole with Commander
Fichard E. Byrd, has delayed de-
parture to the United States so he
may have part in this flight.

BUSINESS SHOWS
IMPROVEMENT DURING MAY

;county prospects are normal it was
said.
Carlyle Thorpe, general manager
of the California Walnut Associa-
tion, was quoted as saying that wal
nut crops prospects are between %
and 60 per cent of last year s fig
ure.
Oil Shows Increase
California daily oil production
was recorded as slightly increased
in May, running as high as Csc, 800
barrels per day as against $4,000
barrels per day in April. Increases
were most noticeable i'll Ventura and
Long Beach.
1t was estimated that final tabu-
lation for the month will show
$l00,000,0O0 in transactions on the
Los Angeles Stock Exchange and
set new all-time record.
Bank clearings went to a new
peak with $995, ,672, ,l54, as against
$767, ,25S,2 in May 1927.
Postal receipts in Los Angeles
will show an increase of 5 percent
over May 1927 and will run close to
the million dollar mark, the review
estimated. Los Angeles ranked
eighth in postal receipts for April
with 39,709S4.
Building construction during the
month of May can be gauged by the
summary's 1923 figure of 1852 per
mits, amounting to $S,94l,735, as
against the May, 1927 mark of 5000
permits for a total of $11, ,563,30
The month was fairly normal in
the retail trade.
Water commerce through the port
of Los Angeles was not quite up to
that of May, 1927, one of the Port 5
heaviest months. The May, 1928,
records again were in excess of p
100000 tons, with a value just un-
der the $80,000,000 mark.

MACCIO ESCAPES
PRISON TERM ON
DOUBLE CHARGE
Court Imposes Fine On
Manslaughter and Fail
ing to Aid Counts.

Salvador Maggie was brought be
fore Judge A. c. Finncy this morn
ing for sentence on conviction by a
Jury of having failed to make the
driver Of a truck stop and render
aid following an automobile acct
dent and for hearing on application
for probation on Il charge of man
slaughter, to which he had entered
Il plea of guilty.
Ills appearance before the court
opened a wordy battle in which
District Attorney Head insisted
tLat the defendant be sent to the
penitentiary for the crimes of
hich he stood convicted while the
attorneys for the defendant, Ernest
Utlev and r. b. Whitelaw, battled
for the freedom of their client.
The defense counsel won the fight
but fines totaling 81 ,000 were i'm
posed against the defendant and he
will be under parole, subject to a
prison term for period of two
years.
Maggie had been sentenced to San
Quentin penitentiary III the first
case, that of failing to stop and
render aid, following his conviction
by jury. Upon his arraignment
tlis morning the defense counsel en-
tered an application for probation
and asked that his sentence be
modified. The district attorney en-
tered an objection and Il lively
discussion followed, the district at
torney fighting for the commitment
of the defendant
/ The court in returning its decision
| said that he would modify the sen
tence. He then sentenced Maggie
to pay Il fine of $500.
The court said that in reaching
this decision two matters were taken
under consideration. At the time
the sentence was first pronounced
! there had been no discussion, SEN
| tence being imposed more or less as
matter of form, the defense hav-
ing already announced that appeal
would be taken. The judge then de-
clarcd that he felt the sentence as
given at that time was too severe
and secondly that he felt that the
| county should be reimbursed to 4
certain extent for the expense ii
! had been subjected to through the
/ trial of the defendant. He said that
i,e believed the ends of justice would
be best served by a sentence of a
fine Of $500.
| Probation Recommended
The hearing on the application for
/ probation was then held. The pro.
! baton officer in his report of his
investigation in the case recon-
mended that the defendant be
/ granted probation. The court after
! hearing the respective arguments
! of the district attorney and defense
! counsel ruled that commitment OF
the defendant to San Quentin peni
/ tentiary be stayed for a period OF
| two years and that further, as 8
! provision of the probation granted
/ the defendant, he be made to pay
fine of $500 to the county.
I The court took occasion at the
( end of the session to declare that
the case of the people against Mag
| giO should serve as a warning tC
! the State Highway commission OF
the deadly road conditions in the
valley, especially to the narrow
ness of the highways running be,
tween Holtville and Yuma ant
Westmorland and points north.

court District Attorney Heald gave
verbal notice that he would appea

G2:20 p. III. Pacific STANDARD time
today.
When the wheels of \the giant
monoplane touched the runway of
Wheeler Field, the first lap of the
longest all-ocean flight ever. at
tempted Was completed.
But the margin OF safety was 4
marrow one. The supply of gasoline
in the fuel tanks of the plane Was
all but exhausted.
Elaspsed time for the flight was
81 hours 2s minutes.
Previous gallons of gas had been
used while the plane tried to deter
mine its correct position and swung
toward the Island of Oahu.
At one time came the ominous
message:
"Tcll the destroycrs to stand by.
We may need them. -
CAPTAIN Charles Kingsford Smith
was at the controls of the ship rs
the Southern Cross touched Hawai-
ian soil.
With him were Charles T.. p. Tim,
relief pilot, Lieutenant Harry Lyon,
navigator and James Warner, radio
operator
The big monoplanc made per
feet landing.
Grew Not Tired
The Southern Cross was the fifth
plane to cross the long air lane of
24O0 land miles, from Oakland, Cali
fornia, TO the Hawaiian Islands.
Three other planes and their
crews were lost in the same attempt.
The next lap of the flight to be
undertaken by the Southern Cross
on the journey to Sydney, Australia,
is from Honolulu to Suva in the Fl
il Islands, a distance of 5000 miles,
the longest stretch over the open
ocean ever attempted.
The Southern Cross took off from
Oakland air port at S:J2 a. m. Pa
cific coast standard time yesterday.
The ship TAXED to position in
front of the reviewing stand. Five
thousand people cheered wildly.
Kingsford Smith was the first of
the four men to step from the
Southern Cross.
We're not weary" F" he said
smilingly, as Governor harrington
and other territorial officials came
forward to greet him.
1--WE followed the radio beacon
at San Francisco for the first 400
miles" Kingsford Smith said.
The great crowd at Wheeler field
was in bedlam. 1t was difficult for
the flicrs to make themselves heard
in talking with the official wei
coming committee.
After we dropped the San Fran
cisco radio beacon we navigated by
periodic compass" Kingsford Smith
said.
When we arrived in the vicin-
ity of the islands we became con
fused because of the cloud forma-
tions. We thought we had sighted
land several times, only to find that
what we actually saw was cloud

peaks for the month in bank clear
ings, bank debts, postal receipts
and stock exchange transactions
featured progress in Southern Cali
tornia in May, the Southwest
business Review released by the
Los Angeles chamber of commerce
today said.
Among the major industries oil
and motion picture production
continued to mark time while EN-
rloyment experienced a seasonal de-
mand in the agricultural and fruit
harvesting industries, the summary
declared.
Unusual late rains throughout the
Southwest benefited greatly, with
out corresponding damage, various
crops, the Review showed. Livestock
continued in steady demand at good
prices.
The copper mining industry,
which spent several years in bring
ing about efficient production, now
responds to every improved condi
tion, it was said.
Wholesale and retail buying was
termed a conservative "hand to
mouth type.
The national trend continued to
mark time and the presidential
year" bugaboo is having its inning
in spite of the better Judgment of
most business leaders, the chamber
survey reported.
Citrus fruits continued on a high
level Cantaloupe shipments fast
neared their peak with the price
range satisfactory.
The price level on California Val
Cncia oranges remained high, but
! the summary indicated increasing
competition from cantaloupe and
deciduous fruit markets would
c!eate a fluctuating market from
row on.
Lemon Market Strong
During the third week in May,
an average as high as $l0.l5 was
realized on extra fancy Valencias
from Orange county on the New
York market, the Review said, quot
ing the California Fruit World.
The California lemon market was
described as "on a strong and act
i've basis, with the price at a high
average. -
Deciduous crops throughput the
state promise to be larger than last
year, with the exception of prunes
and apricots, the chamber reported.
Bearing acreage of deciduous
fruits in the state will be per cent
larger than last season, although
table and raisin grape acreage has
lcssened. Juice varieties will have
an increased bearing acreage of 4
percent.
Delayed foliation, especially with
peaches, became increasingly ap.
