Guests of Windy City Plan
Further ConqueStS of
Ocean Skies.

BIZ United Press
CHICAGO. May 11.-Capt. Her.
mann Koehl of the crew of the
transatlantic plane Bremen, told
the United Press today that he and
Maj. James Fitznaurice and Barren
Gunther Won Huenefeld have dis
cussed a possible flight from Boston
to Berlin in their plane, the Bremen.
Koehl said, however, no definite
plans had been made and that it
vas merely possibility over which
they had talked along with other
tentative plans for the future.
Maj. Fitzmaurice told the United
Press that such a fight might take
place, but that for the present the
three fliers have no definite plans.
Meanwhile Chicago was their host.
Eagerly receiving the trans-Atlan-
tic fliers, the city added its welcom-
ing tribute to the acclaim which
other American cities have accorded
them on their triumphal tour.
The Junkers plane arrived at the
municipal airport late Thursday
from Cleveland. Thousands had
waited there for hours to hail the
distinguished guests.
Land on Wrong Field
The throngs broke police lines
when the plane, an hour later, glided
to the ground and TAXED over the
field. Anxiety had been felt when
the Junkers failed to appear on the
horizon at the scheduled time.
The fliers explained that they had
been delayed first by rain and fog,
and then, after reaching the city,
had landed at the wrong field.
1t was there, at haywood field,
that the first Chicagoan greeted
them. A small boy came running
after their plane as it slowed to a
stop.
"Hey there" he shouted, "ain't
you lost? Follow the railroad tracks
to the municipal airport. Say,
which is F'itzmaurice? Will you
shake hands with me? Gosh, I'm
glad to see you"
And he shook hands not only
with the Irish major, but with the
entire crew.
When they arrived at the mu-
nicipal airport, the fiers were
greeted by an official welcoming
committee, headed by Mayor Will
liam Hale Thompson, who had
waited in the rain for three hours.
Reception Planned
The fliers were escorted to their
hotel, and left to rest until 1 p. m.
today, when they were to be guests
of honor at a luncheon given by
Mayor Thompson at the South
Shore Country Club.
The only other event on their
program today was an automobile
tour of the city after the luncheon.
The evening was open to their
personal plans.
Saturday they will attend a re-
cention given by representatives of
German and Irish societies. 1t will
be followed by a parade and a spe-
cially-arranged program at Soldiers
field. In the evening the f1iers will
attend a banquet and Sunday morn
ing they will leave for Milwaukee.
Wives Arrive
Mrs. Violet Fitzmaurice and Mrs.
Elfreda Koehl arrived from New
York by train this morning.
They we're received by members
of the civic reception committee and
escorted to the hotel where the
fliers are making their head
quarters.
1t was understood Mrs. Koehl
would visit with relatives during
her stay in the city.
Patricia Fitzmaurice, daughter OF
Major and Mrs. Fitzmaurice, re-
NAMED in New York.

STOCK DEPREDAT0Ns

Some hunters have reported

characteristic odor and that this

months in the open air.
A catnip garden was then

experiments. These proved so
successful that additional crops

RADIO PUTS FISHERMEN
IN TOUCH WITH WORLD
Nova Scotia Sea Workers Were
Formerly Isolated for Months
At a Time.

Halifax, N g.. June e.-tP-
Radio has brought Nova Scotia fish
ermen into daily contact with the
civilized world. In the past these
fishermen were forced to spend
many weeks each year on the fish
ing banks, their only communica-
ton with the world being the occa-
sional speaking of passing steamer
or the arrival of vessel from home.
Recently some Of the vessels,
equipped with radio sets, have been
able to pick up an occasional broad
cast. Now the Eastern fisheries
branch of the department of marine
and fisheries has arranged a special
broadcast OF news and weather re-
ports for the benefit of these deep
sea toilers. Twice each day from the
Halifax lightship and from the wire
less station at Louisburg weather re-
ports, bait prices and news features
are broadcast for the benefit of those
fishing vessels equipped with radio
receiving sets.
Agitation for broadcast Of
weather conditions to vessels of the
fishing fleet became pronounced
after the disastrous storm of August
-, 1927. when several schooners and
more than 100 men were lost in the
vicinity of Sable Island.
