OBJECT TO WIDENING
Tile Firm Against Sixteenth
Street Improvement.

Objection to the proposed widen
ing of Sixteenth street from Della
ware to Northwestern avenue in that
it will prevent further expansion of
their company was expressed Tues
day by officials of the United States
EncauStiC Tile Works, 359 West Six
teenth street.
The company believes a street of
sixty foot width would suffice west
of Boulevard place instead of eighty
four feet. while eighty-four feet
could be adopted from Boulevard
place east to Delaware.
The Sixteenth street widening has
been before the city plan commits
sion for two years. It is one of the
major projects in the proposed thor
oughtare system for Indianapolis.
The tile works plans to use a tract
of ITO feet on its site for ware
house and kiln building. officials
say the construction of an eight
four-foot roadway would force the
company to give up a ffty-foot strip
of the vacant ground.

FROM SINCLAIR'S
LIFE IN PRISON

Barred From Jail in
Washington.
BY KENNETH CRAWFORD


WASHINGTON. May 8.-Harry
F. Sinclair, multimillionaire pris-
oner at the District of Columbia Jail,
went back to his general handy

lie welfare, issued an order Tuesday
night barring the public in general
and newspaper reporters in partic-
ular from the institution during the
remainder of Sinclair's ninety-day
term for contempt of the senate.
Details of Sinclair's activities were
supplied by prison officials and pris-
oners working in the front Office.
He vas assigned Tuesday to spe-
cial duty as the jail pharmacist and
assistant to Dr. Morris Hyman, jail
physician and Miss Kathleen
Wright, nurse. He Immediately
was set to work assisting with a
minor operation and compromising
capsules for the treatment of colds.
Sinclair studied pharmacy at the
University of Kansas and worked
as drug clerk before he became
interested in oil enterprises which
made him wealthy and powerful and
involved him eventually in the Tea
pot Dome case, from which his
prison sentence resulted.
Sinclair works in the jail dispen-
sary from a. m. until p. m His
rising hour is 7 a. m. and lights are
out at p. m.
officials announced Sinclair would
serve his entire term at the district
Jail instead of being moved, as most
prisoners serving more than a
month are, to the workhouse at
Occaquan, Va.

DETROIT, January eddie Stin-
son, president of the Stinson Aircraft
Corporation and twice co-holder of the
world record for airplane flight en-
durance without refueling, will attempt
to regain the record next month, VIII
liam A. Mars. secretary of the Stinson
Corporation, has announced.
The record fight without refueling,
unsurpassed under any condition ex-
cept by that of the Army monoplane
Question Mark, which ended yesterday,
is held by the German flyers, RiSticz
and Zimmerman.
Stinson first set new endurance
record in 1921. when, with Lloyd Ber-
taud, he stayed up more than 26 hours
over Roosevelt Field, N. Y. His second
record was established early in 1928,
when, with Capt. George Haldeman, he
scared over the country near Jackson
vile, Fla, for SO hours and 33I2
minutes.
The present mark without refueling
is IS hours and Is minutes. The at
tempt to regain the record probably will
be made about the middle of February
near Lake st. Clair or Saginaw Bay,
Mich. but, If weather conditions forbid,
the special plane being built will be
taken to Florida.
Randolph Page, veteran air mail pilot
and now chief test pilot for the Stinson
Corporation, will be StinSon's co-pilot.

POLAND IS ADVISED

Poland to accept the Litvinoff note.

to join Russia in signing protocol
making effective the terms of the KEEL
logg pact.
However, the stumbling block, ire
spective of Polish desires, apparently is
Rumania, which is speaking of al
lowing" Poland to sign providing an
identical offer is made to Rumania and
is suggesting that Poland make a
counter-proposal to the Soviets to in
vite all the Baltic states to sign the
protocol. ESthonia, Latyia and Fin
land so far have not signed the KEEL
logg pact.
Rumania and Soviet Russia have no
relations and these appear extremely
difficult considering that 100000
gold francs of Rumanian money, which
were deposited in Moscow during the
German occupation of Rumania, was
seized by the Soviet Russians, who adj
nit the fact and say that the sum will
be returned to Rumania when the ques-
ton of ReSsarabia is settled.
Behind the scenes Is the hand of
France. linked as a third party in the
Rumanian-Polish defensive treaty. A
Warsaw newspaper. Epocha. hints that
the Litvinoff move was inspired by Ger
many. Vienna dispatches say that the
Rumanian government is very likely
soon to ratify the Kellogg pact in order
to give the Soviets a chance to invite
