With the last meeting Of the
State Board of Pardons for
1929, held on December 5, it is
noted that there was not a
pardon granted by the board

the board on all the applica-

days. But they sent her over and married her
to Arthur, who I think was about fourteen
years old They wanted to get him settled down
before he had a chance to start running around
too much. Well Arthur was disguised with
the whole proceedings, and to get even with
all of them, he Just died.
Well, that brought this old, round fat

that was Henry's first good break early in life.
He not only inherited the direct line to the
King but he took over all Prince Arthur's es-

Wrecked Plane on World

BY the Associated Press.

With a new world record for long-dis-
lance nonstop flights safely made
across two continents, Dieu ~.onne LIE
Coste and Maurice Bellonte explained
yesterday that only terrific gales and
snowstorms in the regian of Lake Bal
kal, Siberia, had prevented their reach
ing Toxic from Paris.
The brilliant French airmen de-
clared that the SnoWstorms nearly made
their flights end in disaster. They lost
their way in the binding snowfall,
which also interfered with the proper
functioning of their motor.
During the worst OF the storm, /

said.

the first time, adjusting the harness
to our shoulders. The snow made visi-
bility almost impossible, and the wind
was the worst ever experienced.
"Bellonte had the greatest difficulty
In keeping the motor running.
1.-THE wind and snow continued
violent for hours. so that we had to use
much gasoline in climbing to higher
attitudes and endeavoring to dodge the
storm.
IT believe that if it hadn't been for
the bad weather at Lake Baikal we
should have reached Toxic"
The aviators, after being forced to
land at Mulart, village 60 miles north
of here, walked that distance in three
days. They had to make many detours
because of flood conditions along the
River Nonni.
They had some difficulty per5uading
the Mulart villagers that they were not
Russian airmen forced down on a scout
ing flight, but finally were escorted be-
fore Chinese officials who spoke Eng
lish. Bellonte tried to explain that they
were French and eventually they were
permitted to go on to Tsitsihar.
Their landing and subsequent miSad-
ventures caused more excitement in this
corner of Manchuria than Russian
bombing expedition would have.
Records Found in Order.
With difficulty the airmen persuaded
Gen. Wan Fu-Lin, governor Of the dis
trict, that they were not Russians.
Coste was finally permitted to send tele-
grams These difficulties explain why
the world was without news of mis- flight
for so many days.
French Consul Reynaud from Har-
bin, who went to their rescue, has eX-
amined Coste'S records and found them
in order. He is convinced that CoSte'S
new world record will stand, but it must
be officially homologated
1t had been unofficially estimated
that CoSte made flight of 6,l58 miles
from LIE Bourget to Mulart. Costes own
records show that his flying time, al
lowing for differences in Chinese time
and French time, was 81 hours.
Coste is returning to Mulart with gas
oline He plans to fly to Hardin and
then to Mukden.

BROTHERHOOD HEAD
HITS RAIL MERGERS
Doak Says Consultations Have
Thrown 800, 900 Men Out
Of Employment.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, April IS. Greater
power units, longer trains and cleo
tricity have resulted in decrease in
the number of railroad employees from
2,022,832 in 1920 to 1,656,289 in 1928,
W. N. Doak, vice president of the
Brotherhood Of Railroad Trainmen,
said yesterday in an address at the
semi-annual meeting Of the Academy
of Political Science.
Doak opposed any further consolida-
ton of railroads to effect economies in
operating on the ground that 1t would
tend to throw more men out Of work,
unless the consolidation plan specifically
took the workmen into consideration.
Daniel Willard, president Of the Bal
timore & Ohio Railroad, speaking at
the same meeting. declared that the
consolidation provision in the transpor-
tation act as 1t stands today was not
urged or put forward by the railroads
as whole.
John j. Esch, former member of the
Interstate Commerce Commission, said
there was danger of Government con-
troll If voluntary consolidation should
fail.
Representative James S. Parker Of
New York spoke in favor Of conSolida-
ton, while Bird M. Robinson, president
of the American Short Lines Associa-
ton, discussed the problem from the
standpoint of its effect on short-line
railroads.

Scores of complaints have reached the
Post Office Department that the stamps
do not carry enough glue and after they
have been moistened and PLACED on let
