Captain Walter Hinchcliffe last fall
was associated with Charles A. Levine
and was granted leave of absence
by the Imperial Airways, to which he
was attached, for the purpose OF
plotting Levine'S plane Columbia back
to the United States from England.
Friction developed and the prospec-
tive flight was delayed from time to
time and finally abandoned. Eventu-
ally flight to India was begun, but
it ended in Europe.
The Honorable Elsie Mackay is a
qualified air pilot, having received
her certificate about five years ago.
She is a member of the British air
legion and was elected to the advisory
committee of pilots OF the air league
in 1925.
A golden winged airplane circled
over the Cranwell airdrome today,
making various tests. 1t had the
name Adventure" painted on the
fuselage, and the Union Jack below.
Extra gasoline tanks, the Express
correspondent says, have been in

will be no shortage, and more gasoline

cars, their lightness saving two and

gallon can.
In the event of the machines being
forced down at sea the cans can be
emptied in two minutes and provide
enough buoyancy to keep the plane

The course as outlined will be
from Cranwell, across Ireland to the

DEMOCRATS FILL
CAMP PAICN CHEST
CHAIRMAN SAYS
$5O8,50O Has Been Gathered
From Faithful to Con
duct Fight

WASHINGTON, March Z dP)-The
word went out tonight from head
quarters Of the democratic national
committee that its entire Indebtedness
had been paid or underwritten and
a surplus accumulated with which
to begin the 1923 campaign.
Chairman Glenn Shaver made pub
lie report from Jesse H. Jones, the
committees director of finance, which
showed contributions and pledges OF
slightly more than half million
dollars.
Included in the total Of $508,50O was
the 100000 contributed by citizens
of Houston for the June convention
fund, a $4,000 contribution from
Thomas F. Ryan, of New York, a
heavy contributor to democratic party
campaign chests in the past, and one
of like amount by Mr.. Jones, who
had a big hand in landing the con-
vention for Houston, his home city.
G. w. Watson, of Fairmont, W. Va,
and William F. Kenny, of New York
City, were down on Jones list for
$4,000 contributions each, and John
Henry Kirby, Of Houston, $4,000,
while the $4,000 donors included John
w. Davis, the partys presidential
nominee in 1924; William A. Julian,
national committeeman from Ohio;
Frank L. Polk, TO New York, at one
time undersecretary of state, and
Herbert H. Lehman, Of New York.
In addition to the 100000 Houston
contribution which Jones said he was
holding as chairman and treasurer of
the committee on convention ar
rangements, he reported that the cash
intake since the last report of James
w. Gerard, treasurer of the demo-
cratic national committee, totalled
$141, $50.
when the other pledges are paid
your committee will be entirely out
of debt and have probably $250,000
with which to start the next cam
paign," Jones advised Shaver. in
addition to the above, several members
of the committee have indicated their

The prosecution in the first
trial cOntended that Goodwin and
his alleged accOmplice, Dewey
Gaines, now serving sentence
in Folsom prison for his part
in the murder of Patterson plotted
the murder in order to finance
the writing of play by Goodwin.
Handwriting experts during the trial
just ended testified that Goodwin as
well as Gaines had forged the name
of the dead man to securities and
that Gaines had cashed checks bear
ing the forged signature OF Patterson.
Gaines was brought here from Fol-
som prison to testify against the
former priest, but refused to testify,
stating that if he did the other
convictS at Folsom would make life
miserable for him. He was held in

Unemployment and
Tax Reduction Is
Debated by Senate

WASHINGTON, March Z R-Taxes
and unemployment became intertwined
today in senate debate with Chair
man Smoot of the Finance committee
expressing hope" for tax revision
bill at this session and, denying that
there is any unusual unemployment
in the country, as has been asserted
on the democratic side of the cham
ber.
Shoots statement about taxes
brought insistent demands from the
democrats to know when the coun-
try would know whether there is
to be tax reduction The veteran
Utah senator guessed at March Is,
when the first tax returns are re-
ceived, and predicted that revenues
this year would be from nine to 10
per cent lower than those of last
year.
Il suppose that is due to the pros
perity about which the senator has
been talking" said Senator Harrison,
democrat, Mississippi, referring to a
prepared statement the Utah senator
had read, denying unusual unemploy-
ment and asserting that wages were
higher here than in any other coun-
try on earth.
Tax reduction will be controlled
largely by congressional appropriations,
Smoot said, pointing out that there
now are demands for great sums for
flood control, Boulder Canyon dam,
the st. Lawrence waterway and various
, reclamation projects
The debate over unemployment
waxed warm after the furry over
taxes with several senators joining in.
Senator Walsh, democrat, Massachu-
sets, charged that labor department
statistics on unemployment never were
accurate and said any legislation for
the benefit of building program or
flood control would furnish new fields
of employment for those now out of
work
"The truth is that business is de-
pressed and the administration knows
it, Walsh said "The people soon
will realize the difference between a
party of true democracy and a party
which is controlled by the monied
powers of the country"
Adverting to Smdot's speech about
prosperity, Senator Harrison said that
IF all this prosperity is here, this ad-
is derelict in its duty to
the tax payers of the country"
with $5OO,0OO,0OO piled up in the
treasury they refuse to report out the
tax reduction BILL" he said, adding

LEWIS DEPICTS
BAD CONDITIONS
in COAL FIELDS
Miners President on Stand
Before Interstate Com
merce Committee

WASHINGTON, March QP-de-
picting deplorable economic conditions
in the central competitive bitun1inous
fields, John L. Lewis, president of the
United Mine Workers of America,
today laid the situation primarily to
what he termed conspiracy among
the railroads.
This conspiracy has tWo-fold pur-
pose, to reduce coal costs to the car
riers and to keep down the level of
wages for miners and railroad men,
Lewis charged, as he presented the
opening statement for the now un-
employed union miners in the senate
investigation ordered under the john
son resolution.
While making this the primary
foundation for his complaint, Lewis
detailed many other factors entering
into the whole equation of the ills
that beset operators and union and
non-union miners alike. He protested
vigorously against the use of iron
and coal and otner private police
and against the operation of in
functions issued by the federal courts
to restrain the union men.
Abrogation of the Jacksonville wage
agreement before its expiration also
was dwelt upon at length, and Lewis
called attention that among the first
two companies to break the wage
contract were the consolidation coal
company OF West Virginia and the
Pittsburgh Coal company, of Penn
Sylvania. He asserted that John D.
Rockefeller, Jr., is a controlling fac
tor in the former, while the latter
is generally recognized in financial
circles as Mellon concern.
In connection with this action by
these two companies, Lewis disclosed
through correspondence that after the
wage agreements had been broken he
asked President Coolidge whether the

SCIENCE PRODUCES LIGHTNING
CHALLENGES THAT OF OIL LYNIPUS

ST. LOUIS, March (AP1 If
Zeus were still distributing light
ming bolts from his retreat on
Mount Olympus, he might have to
look to his job, for the competi-
ton would be getting pretty
keen.
Artificial lightning of 100000
volts, the highest voltage ever
attained by man, has been pro-
duced in the engineering labOra-
tory of the General Electric COM
pany at PittsfieId, Mass. An
nOuncement of the achievement
was made here tonight by F. w.
Peek, Jr., in charge of the work,
in speaking before a regional
convention of the American in
stitute of electrical engineers.
The new generator which can
produce this tremendous voltage
is unique in its operation, Mr..
Peek explained. The electricity
is gradually stored in artificial
clouds just as a charge is stored
by nature in real thunder clouds.
and then is discharged in a flash

that lasts only a few miIIionths
of a second.
Lightning sparks, produced by
these vOItages and lasting only
one-ten- milliOnth of a second, can
be seen as binding flash" said
the engineer. However, as light
travels about 100 feet in that time,
the phenomenon is all over when
a person standing but 100 feet
away sees it or when the light
reaches him. Yet it appears to
be there"
"The object of the study" as
serted Mr.. Peek, "is t0 secure
scientific information on the ma
ture of electricity and to obtain
1urtSAer, engineering information
on the protection of life and
property against lightning, to build
TRANSMISSION lines, transformers
and other electrical apparatus to
resist lightning vOltages. The
present generator produces higher
v0Itages than are ever produced
by natural lightning or transmits
sion lines"
