Lindy's Ship Is Brought Back without
Explanation Being Given.

ROOSEVELT FIELD, N. Y, May 28

was taken out of its hangar for a brief
mystery flight today and then returned
without any explanation being given:
The flight was over Farmingdale and
Lake Ronkonkoma, Long Island, but
no landing was made.
Two young men appeared here today
after mechanics had warmed UP the
plane and few it away after refusing
to reveal the destination or purpose OF
their flight.
The plane was dipped low over the
airport at Farmingdale and then flown
on to the lake resort and back here
When the plane landed the two men In
1t climbed out, unStrapped their para
chutes and drove away after declining
to answer any questions. The plane
was then wheeled back in its hangar
When the engine was fully warmed
up the two young men drove up in
an automobile and made ready to fly
the plane away. They were not recog-
nized by any of the reporters at the
field.
The one who climbed into the pilots
seat answered question as to his name
but reporters disagreed as to what il
was Some thought 1t was William Co.'S
well, some Carswell and some Cogs-
well. The pilot declined to repeat it
or spell it.
Neither man would say what his con-
nection was with Col. Lindbergh nor
what the plans for the plane were
After donning parachutes they few the
plane due east and reporters took ur
the trail by automobile to see If a
landing were made at Mitchell Field
Farrlingdale or some other Long Is
land field.

.L|NDY AND BRIDE
DROP OUT OF SIGHT
Unconfirmed Rumor Says He
and Anne Are Aboard
Guggenheim Yacht.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, May 28.-The honey
moon destination of Col. Charles A.
Lindbergh and his bride, the former
Anne Morrow, like so many of the Lone
Eagles flights, was enveloped in COM
plete secrecy today.
After the couple left the Morrow
home at Englewood. N. j., yesterday,
following their marriage, they dropped
completely from sight. Newspaper
vigils at flying fields, steamship piers,
railroad terminals and even highways
leading out of New York yielded no
trace of the newlyweds.
There were scores OF rumorS and
theories, but none of them was con-
firmed. One report was that an am
phibian plane had landed last night in
Hempstead Harbor outside the Long
Island estate of Harry Guggenheim, in
innate friend of the flyer, and that the
honeymooners had sailed on S. r. uug-
genheim's yacht, Trillora. The yacht
was in the harbor last night, but was
gone this morning.
The preparation for flight Of Col
Lindbergh's speedy biplane at Roosevelt
to throw newspaper men off the scent
In this connection, it was also pointed
out that an aerial honeymoon by the
couple would be anything but private
what with perhaps every airport in the
country beseiged by reports and pho
tographers.
The belief that Col and Mrs. Lind
bergh might sail on some ocean liner
under assumed names received some
support. Meanwhile, anxious city edi-
tors of newspapers kept their stats
keyed up waiting for the break" when
the honeymooners land" be that
landing" from earth, sky or sea.

SECRET ROLL CALL
BELIEVED DOOMED
Rules Committee Orders
Amendment Reported
to Body. (
BY G. GOULD LINCOLN.

Secrecy of roll calls on nominations
in the Senate appeared doomed today.
The committee on rules of the Senate
has ordered an amendment to the
secrecy rule to be reported to the Sen
ate and Chairman Moses is expected
to report the amendment later today.
Amendments Proposed by Two.
The amendment to the rules decided
upon by the committee provides that
all roll calls on nominations. whether
taken behind closed doors or not, shall
be made public. 1t also provides that
the Senate In closed executive session
may, by majority vote. open the doors
and debate nominations in public"
The Jones amendment by Senator
Jones, Republican, of Washington, pro-
posed that executive sessions on nomi-
nations should be open, unless in closed
sessions, the Senate should by ma
jorlty vote determine to consider any
nomination in secret session.
Democratic members of the rules
committee urged the adoption of the
, substitute by Senator Robinson, Demo-
crat of Arkansas, for the Jones
amendment, which would provide that
all nominations should be considered
in open executive session unless by a
majority vote, taken in open session,
the Senate determines to close its doors
during the consideration of the nomi-
nation.
Press Privileges Up.
The rules committee had before 1t
the amendment proposed by Senator
La Toilette, Republican, OF Wisconsin,
granting to four press associations the
| privilege of sending their representatives
| on the floor of the Senate.
The floor privileges were denied the
press associations last week after a
rare-up because of the publication by
the United Press of a report giving q
roll call on the Lenroot nomination to
the Court of Customs Appeals.
BY a majority vote, the COMMITTEES
declined to report favorably the La Fol-
lette amendment. It Is expected, now
ever that such proposal will be Of
fered from the floor of the Senate when
consideration of the report Of the rules
committee begins in the Senate. II
may take the form of authorizing the
chairman of the rules committee tc
grant floor privileges to representatives
of the press associations.
Senator Moses said that he would ask
the Senate to consider the proposed
amendment to the rules relating TO Sc
cret sessions one day next week.

TRIAL SET MONDAY
NSTUDENT DEATH
Three Virginia Officers Indict.
ed for Murder After College
Boy Is Killed in Car.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
ABINGDON. Va, May 28.-Three Of
ficers of Washington County-James
McReynolds. Abingdon policeman, and
James Grove and j. H. Worley, Wash
ington County deputy sheriffs-are to
go on trial here next Monday. charged
with the murder of J. w. Kendrick, IT,
Emory and Henry College student. The
Washington County grand jury indicted
the three yesterday, the indictment be-
ing based on a warrant sworn out by a
relative of Kendrick.
Kendrick was riding with Paul Phelps
and Sterling Dutton the night of May
when he was fatally wounded The
three officers, responding, they said, to
a report that the young men in the all:
tomobile were creating disturbance,
fired "at the tires of the car" They
declared after the shooting that occu-
pants Of the automobile denied that
they received an order to halt.
Asks Special Judge.
Shortly after the grand jury returned
its indictment against the three officers,
Judge John H. Stewart, presiding in the
that he would ask to be relieved from
the case, as the three men were Of
ficers in his court. He said he would
request Gov. Harry F. Byrd to name
some other judge to hear the case.
The shooting aroused considerable
interest in this section of Virginia and
prompted students of Emory and Henry
College to petition Gov. Byrd to "see
that the ends of justice are served" in
the case. Gov. Byrd advised with the
Virginia attorney general and was in
formed that he had no authority to in
stitute a special investigation of the
shooting and that 1t was case for the
Washington County officials alone.
Warrant Is Taken.
Officers involved in the shooting were
not arrested until two days afterward.
An uncle Of Kendrick swore out war
rants charging the three men with
murder. They were given preliminary
hearings and released under bond. NC
Reynolds asked to be relieved from duty
pending the outcohae of the case and
shortly afterward Worley was removed
to his home under the care OF physi-
clans, who said he was suffering from a
nervous disorder.
Kendrick was an orphan and mem
ber of a prominent Southwest Virginia
family. His father was killed in an au-
tomobile accident in Florida in 1925.
