a warrant charging him with vio-
lation of the law.

struction given the deputy. 1t ap-
peared as though the officer might
be sitting on the doorstep some time
because it was reported Rep.
Michaelson had gone to Florida.
1t was in Jacksonville the trouble
started, due to the keen nose of a
city policeman and the leakinesS of
two trunks the congressman was
bringing from Havana. Although
Mr.. Michaelson was indicted last
October, the public knew nothing of
the affair until two days ago.
Congress convenes in special ses-
sion April Is, and If he is not ar
rested before that time, Michaelson
would be immune for the entire
session.

ON this WEEK
Lieuts. Langmead and Lynch
To Try Flight From Lo-
cal Field to Boston
Especial to The Herald J

SAN ANTONIO, March 30
Lieuts. E. G. Langmead and E. G.
Lynch, instructors Of navigation in
the ground school at Brooks field,
with four more air corps officers
will attempt a nonstop flight from
Brownsville to Boston probably the
latter part of this week, it was un-
derStood here today.
The officers, who have been at
tending special navigation course
at Dayton, Ohio, and who have not
yet returned here, will make the at
tempt in a tri-motored FOkker as
an army test of the practicability
of new navigation method.
The distance from Brownsville to
Boston is approximately 1000 miles
and in the tri-motored plane, which
can average about 90 miles an hour,
the flight should be made in about
20 hours.
A direct airline course between
Boston and Brownsville will be
flown by the air corps officers.
While the ship will carry no~spe-
cial equipment, a combination of
the newest navigation instruments
will be employed in the jaunt.
1t is probable, officials at Brooks
field stated Thursday, that the earth
inductor compass, in addition to the
regular magnetic compass, will be
used. All available navigation meth
DDS will be incorporated to definitely
establish just which method is the
most feasible for nonstop and dis
tance flights.
The tri-motored plane will con-
sumo about IS gallons of gasoline
an hour and the air corps pilots
will estimate very closely the
amount of fuel to be carried in or
der to eliminate additional weight.
The plane will be outfitted with
adequate lighting equipment for
night flying. The landing at Bos-
ton will be made at the municipal
airport.

support or help of Mayfield in
landing the $4,000 job, which ne
said Mayfield's recent opposition
prevented his confirmation in.
Mayfield quoted Neff as saying:
Senator Mayfield had nothing to
do with originating my appoint
ment. After President Coolidge had
commenced to make inquiries con-
cerning me, Senator Mayfield
learned that I was being considered
Tor this place and proceeded, for
political purposes, to brand it as his
appointment. At no time or place,
either before or after my appoint
ment, did have any conversation
or communication of any nature
with Senator Mayfield in regard to
my appointment"
Mayfield's statement said:
The facts are these:
In the early part Of January,
1927, President Coolidge sent for
me and among other things said:
Senator, you have been urging me
to appoint the Hon. Clarence Gill
more upon the interstate commerce
commission, and I have not been
able to comply with your request,
but wish to recognize Texas. and
would like for you to wire Com
missioner Gilmore and ask him If
ne would accept an appointment on
the board of mediation
I complied with the presidents
request and in a few days received
message from Commissioner Gill
more declining the appointment.
then asked President Coolidge 20
offer the appointment to ex-Gover-
nor w. P. Hobby, and he did so.
AT the presidents request, I
wired Hobby asking him if he would
accept the appointment. He wired
me that for business reasons he
coul dnot accept the same.
When Hobby's message was re-
celved, II. G. F'ulbright of Houston
had Just come into my office to tell
me goodbye, as he was leaving for
Austin that afternoon to attend the
Inauguration of Governor Hobby,
That was on January 16, 1927.
i told him about Gilmore and
Hobby having declined the appoint
ment upon the board of mediation
and asked him what he thought
about my requesting the president
to give the appointment to ex-Gov-

appointment would be good one
provided Neff was friendly to me
politically. I then requested Full
