After the exhibition scores OF Rotarians

Gen. Mason M. Patrick, former chief

Rotarians about model aircraft.
The gray-haired veteran Army off1cer
pictured the seven champions as famous
flyers of the future. described the bene-

their interest and work in the model

This movement is more than pri-

To HAVE
HONEYMOON
AIRPORT

NORTH HAVEN, Me-, May IA
Q.N.S.).-What looks like a minia-
ture honeymoon airport" for Lindy
was being constructed on the Nor
row summer estate on this island
today -.....
The clearing Of a ten-acre sheep
pasture that slopes to the sea on
the 7O-acre farm of Ambassador
Dwight w Morrow was regarded by
natives as clinching assurance that
the Ambassador daughter, Anne,
and Col. Charles A. Lindbergh would
be married here in June.
Approach Is Narrow
With it's long, rolling and narrow
approach, the honeymoon airport,
If such the field is to be. would bring
a plane low over Penobscot Bay in
landing and in the takeoff the flier
would be over the water almost as
soon as the plane left the island.
The spot is a picturesque one, the
field being bounded on one side by
a heavy growth of spruce, with the
new Morrow summer home, remod-
eled from a sheep farmers home
stead, on the other side. Across the
bay rises the pale blue mountains
Of Camden on the mainland.
In landing, Lindy would have to
watch out" for the sheep that dot
this and nearby pastures, the rocky
shore and dense woods in the rear.
Planting Gardens
Gangs of workmen were busy to-
day plowing and clearing the land
about the Morrow house and plant
ing gardens. Meanwhile. the boats
were being cllked and painted. The
vanguard of the Morrow household,
two maids, will arrive May II to
open the house.
The whole village was "perking
up today. Grounds Of the COM
munity church, of which Rev. H. F.
Huse is pastor, were being cleared
and new trees planted. other homes
were being ''groomed." The island
golf course was being polished"

This was the question a half a
dozen detectives Of the homicide
squad attempted today to solve.
They have arrested and questioned
10 men in an unsuccessful effort
to learn whether Sykes participated
in a fight prior to being found
unconscious yesterday in an alley
in the rear of 800 Pennsylvania
Ave. n. w.
Sykes died in Emergency Hospital
without regaining consciousness.
Physicians said his death was due
to a fractured skull.
Three Possible Causes
An autopsy convinced DR.. Joseph
D. Rogers, assistant District
coroner. that Sykes might have died
from any Of several causes. He
might have been beaten to death,
he might have been hit by an
automobile or he might have been
hurt in a fall.
Tn autopsy revealed Sykes had
several fractured ribs and brush
burns on the left side of his face
and on his left arm as well as a
fractured skull. His clothes were
not torn as probably would have
been the case had he been hit
by a car.
Window Fall Hinted
The finding Of Sykes hat and
shoes in a vacant house in the 100
block Third ST. N. W., led inves-
tigators to believe he might have
fallen from a window there while
in a drunken stupor.
Strength was given this theory
by the fact that he was known to
have been drinking few hours
before he was found.
There also was a possibility that
he had fallen down a flight of stairs
near which his PROSTATE form was
found by Tom Weaver, manager Of
the Mades Hotel, a familiar land
mark.
Sykes walked away from Gal
linger Hospital two days ago. He
was serving a 30-day sentence for
intoxication at the District Jail, hav-
ing been sent to the hospital to
clear debris from the grounds.

POPE'S ENVOY
BRINGS VIEW
ON MEXICO

Mgr. Pietro Fumasoni Biondi,
Apostolic delegate to the United
States, arrives in New York late
tonight bearing with him the Vati-
can viewpoint on a rapproachement
between the Catholic Church and
Mexico.
In the light of President Portes
Gil's recent announcement Of a
readiness to discuss the breach be-
tween the church and state in Mex
leo with Mexican prelates, Catholics
here and in Mexico are evincing
considerable interest in the nature
Of Monsignor Biondi's instructions.
Archbishop Ruiz y Flores, Bishop
of Michoacan, Mexico. now in the
United States, is expected to confer
with the papal representative here
within the next few days.
The APOSTLE delegation here has
been the sole medium Of commune
cation between the Vatican and the
Mexican Catholic clergy since the
anti-Catholic laws became effective
in Mexico July 81, 1928.
Indirect negotiations have been
progressing toward a settlement of
the dispute which began with in
tensity in 1926, and Monsignor
Biondi's trip to the Vatican, just
concluded, was taken advantage Of
to put the papal stamp of approval
on the informal efforts to bring
the church and Mexico together.
Since Monsignor Biondi left Rome
President Portes Gil and Archbishop
Ruiz Flores have exchanged COM
pliments, and the Mexican President
recently absolved the Catholic
Church from completely in the
recent revolution.
