Fl. Worth

CLEVELAND, Ohio, July 5.](P-
A few brief hours separated Roy l..
Mitchell and Byron B. Newcomb
from a worlds record for endurance
flights today, and the airmen set
their faces resolutely toward the
mark after surviving a storm which
last night brought their refueling
plane to earth wrecked beyond fur
ther participation in the attempt.
An electrical storm which paralyz-
ed air traffic harried them through
the night, but today they flew
through lowering clouds, Drawing
bad weather with the goal in sight
at 10 minutes past midnight. A
new ship to supply them with fuel
and provisions was purchased and
equipped during the night. Their
last messages to the ground gave no
hint of abandonment until they
exceed the record of 172 hours, 80
minutes and / second.
Weather forecasts today were a
little more encouraging. Thunder
storms and perilous going aloft,
storms of the sort which brought a
warning that electrical charges
travelling through the refueling hose
might cause death to crews of both
ships were passing over But Mitch
ell and Newcomb, with their refuel-
ing pilot, Ernest Basham, said they
would continue until brought to a
landing by other causes than weak
ened determination, despite the
weather.

RECLAIMED
Dallas Industry Takes Ad-
vantage of Land In
undated

DALLAS, Tex, July 5.-R-Dal-
las sees an industrial renaissance in
the reclamation of 10000 acres of
land near the geographical heart of
the city.
It is costing $11,0 900 an acre to
reclaim that r In the Trinity
river bottoms, where floods have
forbidden industrial expansion. En-
gineerS estimate. that $25, 900, 900
will be spent in improvements
within five years after this project
is completed.
Until $11, oO0,o 0 in bonds was
voted to reclaim the Trinity'S basin,
Dallas industry had been forced to
stop at its edge.
Once each 20 years, for the last
80 years, the river flooded these
10000 acres. That area always
has separated Dallas and Oak Cliff,
a suburb of 10000.
Now the river in Dallas business
area Is being shortened by % miles.
A new channel is being dug be-
tween levees, 80 feet high and 156
feet thick at the base. Altogether,
Is miles Of leveeS and Is miles of
new channel are being constructed.
Once completed, seven new bridges
will open added highways between
Dallas and Oak Cliff. The reclaimed
district borders on the railroad cen
ter, SO trackage facilities for new
factories will be available. The pro-
ject is to be finished within a year.

l59 DIE ON
JULY FOURTH
Auto Wrecks Contribut e
Largest Number To
Tragic Holiday

CHICAGO, July 5.-(P-America
surrendered 159 lives to the obser-
vance of its 153rd birthday anniver-
sary yesterday.
The Fourth of July death list
this year was IS under 1928. the re-
duction being attributable chiefly to
the decrease in the number of
deaths from drowning and from the
heaA In only one division did the
1928 fatalities exceed last years
that was in automobile accidents
with 70 this year as compared with
81 last.
Fireworks in themselves con-
tinued to play a smaller part in the
nations independence day Ceath
roll. Only seven fatalities from this
cause were reported this year as
compared with IL in 1923; and two
of them resulted from a fireworks
factory explosion and fire July 3.
DrowningS were responsible for
the largest loss of life, as they were
last year; but even so, there were
S. less deaths from this cause than a
year ago.
Automobile fatalities, on the other
hand, bounded upward from 81 last
year to 70.
MiddIewest Contributes
Nearly one-third Of the country's
total toll vas taken by the middle
west. The middle Atlantic states
which last year led the country In
deaths with 90, had 80 less yester-
Gay, although more than Ialf the
deaths from fireworks in the coJn-
try occurred in that section. The
northwest and the mountain states
had the smallest death lists, each
section reporting three.
Temperatures generally were low
er throughout the country yester-
day than was the case July'4, 1923,
when II deaths resulted from heat
alone. So far as reports to The As
ISOLATED Press showed, there ives
only one from heat, that in Chi
cago.
Last year airplane accidents took
tour lives, whereas yesterday only
one death occurred from this cause.
A year ago, too, there were three
deaths in automobile races. The
only death from that cause reported
this year was at Pompano, Fla.
where a driver was killed after he
had crossed the finish line in third
place of a 10 mile dirt track ace.
Stricter Laws
Stricter laws regulating the sale
and use of fireworks was credited
with keeping the number of deaths
and injuries from this cause down
In Michigan, particularly, enforce
ment of a new state fireworks law
was reported as most effective.
Chicago ordinances prevent the
sale of fireworks, but convenient
suburbs provided all types of can
non crackers with the result that
the Fourth here was unusually
noisy. Hundreds Of persons were
injured, but no deaths occurred.
In New York, 500 children were
treated at city hospitals for fire
works injuries.
Contrasting with the 1928 heat
was a 10 minute snowstorm yester-
day at Spectator, N. Y, the snow
falling SO fast that holiday motor

All Officials to Be Ordered Home Says China's

MOSCOW, July 18.-SOviet Russia last night broke off diplomatic relations with China.
 The Soviet Government made public it's reply to the Chinese note of the latter which came in response to an pltimatum from Russia over the seizure of the Chinese and Eastern Railway.
 The Soviet Government said all means of reaching an amicabIe settlement had been exhausted and placed entire r sponsi s bility for conse- querces upon the Chinese Government.
 Commercial representatives will be recalled at once from China said the Moscow Gov ernment and the Government would reserve all rights aris- ing from the Peking- -Mukden  agreement of 1924.
 The Soviet Government declared the Chinese reply to the Russian ultimatum was unsatisfactory and the contents were in hypocritical tone. Countering the charge the Soviet Government persecuted Chi nese in Soviet territory, the Soviet officials replied the only ones ar rested were insignificant groups of spies, opium traders, white slavers, smugglers and others of a criminal type of Chinese.

PEEL, Isle of Man, July 13.- Tourists probably h ave brought more gold to this island in the Irish sea than ever was hidden here by pirates; but it is pirate gold that is firing the imagination of inhabitants and tourists alike this summer
 Excavations have begun among the ruins of Peel Castle, and while the trustees of the Manx museum will be satisfied if new information is brought to light on the origin of the castle and the early history of Man, the populace and tourists and even the town officials are going to be wretchedly disappoint- ed it at least part of the great gold hoard of the Vikings isn't turned up.
 It is certain that for hundreds of years Viking raiders plundered the coasts of England and France dllQ OilC lACNlOci ullCe1ii5 anu DlOuSllt their loot back to Man Legend has it that King Orry hid untold wealth in or under or somewhere about Peel Castle, and that when he departed the gold remained.
 Toward the latter part of the thirteenth century the Norsemen were thrown out by King Alexander III of Scotland. Later the Scotch themselves had to make room for the English, and, though they have been gone long time, the legend insists that the gold is still there. Excavations are being carried for ward under the supervision of J. H. Winterbottom, surveyor for the Manx government property trus- tees. Members of the Manx Anti quarian society are cooperating, and several Of the town commissioners of Peel are taking active part.
 Since the work will be a matter of months, it will be at it's height during the tourist season, and since Man regularly entertains about 500,000 visitors annually, the exca-

WORK ON PAPER
 MILL TO START
 IN FEW MONTHS
Kinzie Tells Chamber Per. manent Work Will Start
 Tn Five or Six Months

Permanent work on the hydro electric end of the Juneau pulp and paper mill will be started with in the next five or six months at the outside, R. D. Kinzie, engineer in charge of the project backed | by the Cameron Chandler syndicate of California, told the Chamber of Commerce today.
 Within two months the water power surveys will be completed, and by the end of this Fall all of the timber cruising will be finished. With but one or two minor dif- ferences of opinion between the Government agencies and the syn dicate, MT. Kinzie said he had no doubt that these would be shortly ironed out, the entire program so far has been carried out smoothly and to the satisfaction of his prin- cipals.
 "At the present time all the data necessary has been accumulated for application for the final water power license and to complete the timber contract. It only remains to get the data in proper shape, to smooth out one or two little diff ferences of opinion, and proceed to take out the permanent permits" When this has been done, the con struction program will be started, he added.
 Under the law, he pointed out, it was not, Aessible to do any isssm- anent work on the waterpower project until the final license is is- sued. In order to obtain that li- cense, it has been necessary to ob- tain considerable data and that has been in progress for the past two years. We are now in position to supply that data and apply for the permanent permits,' he said. If it had been possible to go ahead with permanent construction without the final license or permit, he added, this would have been done long ago. All of the inves-' tigations as to resources and oppor- tunity for their profitable develop ment have been satisfactory and the principals interested in the pro- ject are determined to go ahead, he concluded.
