which took Idzikowski's life and
wrecked the plane.
The French plane, the Question
Mark, after battling headwinds for
hours and finding fuel going and
speed cut to a third, turned back
at 6:18 p. M, Saturday Q:18 p. m.
E. S. I'd and at 9:27 a. m. yester-
day 1927 a. m. E. S. I'd landed
safely at Villacoublay, France, a
few miles south Of Versailles.
Don't cheer, boys, we just missed
out, that's ALL" its pilot, Captain
Dieudonne CoSte, conqueror of the
South Atlantic, told the few who
met him there. But we will try
again, when the chances are more
in our favor"
Captain Coste's landing came af-
ter 81 hours and SIS minutes of fly
ing after the take-off at LIE Bour-
get at daybreak Saturday when he
chivalrously allowed the slower
Polish plane a 45-minute handicap
in the t~ransoceanic race. At the
time of turning back he had flown
to a locality northeast Of The
Azores about as near the American
Atlantic seaboard as to Europe.
The winds that blow from west tt
east in mid-Atlantic cut his speed
from 125 miles per hour to less
than so, and after trying vainly tc
fly below them, he and his navi-
gator, Jacques Bellonte, turned
their plane around and headed bacl
home, depressed and disguised.
Idzikowski and Kubala struck the
same adverse hurricane which
Coste called a wall Of wind" and
shortly afterward developed motor
trouble, which compelled them tc
ask for information about q land
ing field. There is not a field for
land planes In all the Archipelago
Over their bad radio, the Poles
were directed to Brazileira, a field
on Gracosia Island, the most north
easterly of the central group OF
five.
A witness Of the tragedy said the
big gray plane swooped down Owe
as II seeking a spot to come down
the island, making a few turns &c
Natives, by gestures designated the
plot at Brazileira, and the plane
made for it.
But as it came closer to earth
over the field it wobbled into a
barrel roll, and a body was seen tc
hurtle from it. In a moment the
plane touched the ground and there
was an ear-splitting explosion.
Kubala was picked I'D where be
had fallen, suffering from painful
but not severe injuries. The body
OF Major Idzikowski was e~xtricateG
from the debris. Natives buried ID
zlkoWski's body at 8 p. m, yester-
day. Kubala is in a hospital said
to be not badly injured.
The plane burned after the twc
aV1ators were removed. There was
some question as to the time of the
crash, but it appeared to have han
pened between 7:30 D. m, and 9:3O
p. M local time 1920 and $50 r
>. To. Thus they spent sor1ethino
less than ID hours in the air.

CATS PURR
AFTER WIN
Snyder Leadership Said To
Aid Kittens In PEN
nant Climb
BY GAYLE TALBOT, JR.,
Associated Press SnnrtS Writer

-
If there was any further doubt
that the acquisition of Frank Snyder
as manager has made a pennant
contending club out OF the Fort
Worth Kittens, it would seem 10
have been removed by events OF the
Weekend.
What was heralded as a crucial
series at Shreveport has been turned
into a rout of the PhelaniteS, and
the Cats today stood at the top OF
the heap alongside the Waco CUBS,
who likewise found the San Antonio
entry to their taste. One game re-
manned to be played in each series
today.
Yesterdays twin killing OF the
Sports marked the Panthers tlftn
win in six starts against two CLUBS
regarded as the most powerful In
the loop, they having taken two out
Of three from the Spudders. 1t also
marked the fourth straight series
which the Cubs have put on the
right side Of the ledger. Both clubs
apparently are deadly In earnest
about this second half.
It took four Cat twirlers to defeat
the Sports in the first game OF their
Sunday bargain bill, 8 to q. Wilbur
Cooper had the Felines puzzled until
the seventh, when they hoped on
him for six runs. They drove him
from the hillock with two more In
the eighth. The second tilt was a
pitchers duel, in which Buzz Phillips
/. shaded Williamson, ! to 0.
Caldwell and Harris gave spark
ling mound performances as the
Cubs trounced the Tribe twice, .
TO 3 and z to 1. Caldwell limited
the Braves to five hits in the first
and was helped along by Bob San
guinet, who poled his twenty-fourth
and twenty-fifth home runs. !.
Five thousand fans crammed
Stuart Stadium to see the Exporters
take their second straight from the
Bluffs, 8 to 8. The Shippers found
Paul Wachtel an open book and de-
lighted the populace with IA hits. y.
The downtrodden Steers squared
their series with the Spuds, 6 to 8,
after an early attack that drove Milt
Steengrafe to the showers. Wh1tey
Glazner, crowned by a batted ball
in his last previous appearance
against the Oilers, came back to
hold the north countrymen to seven
rapS,

FINAL ACTION
Due ON BILLS
Legislature Resdy to Pass
Appropriations Agreed
To BY Both Houses

AUSTIN, July 15.-(P-Back at
their desks today, members of the
legislature were ready to act finally
on appropriation bills agreed by
c~onferees from the two houses and
to pass on suggestions advanced by
Governor Moody for protection Of
excess school lands having potential
oil possibilities.
After three days deliberation
committees reached agreements ON
the amounts to be appropriated for
state schools and departments Of
government when 1t seemed a dead
lock could not be averted. A cut of
approximately $4,000 was made in
the former bill by eliminating build
ingS proposed for A. g. M. College
and John Tarleton Agricultural Col
lege of S~tephenville, bringing the
bill to a total slightly under SIS
SOC. 900.
Exact amount cut from the de-
partmental bill could not be deter
mined Immediately, chairmen of the
finance committees said. The meas
ure, it was believed, was reduced be-
tween 100000 and 100000. One OF
the largest items cut from senate
departmental bill was SIPS 900 for
each Of the two years of the BIZ
ennium for purchase of property
near the Alamo in San Antonio.
Bills were expected to be intro
duced reserving from sale vacancies
created through improper surveys Of
University-owned property in West
Texas. The governor pointed out in
his message that the land might be
bought on the basis of surface
value, despite the fact 1t was under
laid with oil or other minerals

to nine and the salary of the gov
ernor raised from $4,000 to $4,000
annually will be determined tomor-
row when Texans ballot at a special
election on two proposed amend
ment to the state constitution.
Both were sanctioned by the 4lst
legislature at its regular session and
passed on to the voters for final
approval.
Temporarily to aid the situation,
the legislature created the six mem
Der commission of appeals, but
while the commission may make
recommendations, it is not vested
with authority to pass finally on any
case.
For the sixth time, taxpayers will
be called upon to express their
views at the ballot box on an in
crease Of the governors salary.
Two years ago a raise for the chief
executive was voted down when an
attempt was made to set the SAL
airy at $4,000.
The governors salary increase, if
carried, will not go into effect I'M
til the beginning of the next admin
istration.

Problems of Tariff
Bill Get Attention
From Finance Group

WASHINGTON, July 15.-(P)-
The senate finance committee turn
ed its attention to the highly con-
troversial administrative provisions
of the house tariff bill today while
the controversy between republicans
and democrats over various aspects
Of the measure gained momentum
in other quarters.
The administrative provisions en-
body the changes from the present
law voted by the house to facilitate
and expand presidential authority
to alter rates under the flexible
tariff clause. They r regarded as
comparable to the sugar schedule as
a potential source Of prolonged con-
troversy after the measure reaches
the senate.
Two subjects which have aroused
widespread discussion-the foreign
protests against various rate in
creases and the proposed 20 per cent
duty on boots and shoes-figured In
today's addition to the republican
democratic tariff controversy.
