FROM ISLANDS
TO new YORK
BY RUEL s. MOORE
UNITED Press Staff Correspondent

HONOLULU, July II U.P)-Plans
for two stop flight from Honolulu
to New York were revealed to the
United Press today by Erik Wilhelm
Friman, Swedish aviator.
The flight, by Friman and cepilot
as yet unnamed, will probably start
from the Barking sands on the is
land of Ksuai, Friman said.
Although it is understood here
that a group of Los Angeles capital
lists are sponsoring the proposed
flight, Friman said he was merely
consummating previous plans made
by himself and Vance Breesc, prom
inent Pacific coast airman.
He refused 10 say if Breese was
connected with the PROJECT, but in
innate that Herbert Fahy, Lock
heed test pilot whose plane he pro
poses to use, might be involved.
The Lockheed plane, according tC
q Aiiths hdH sPNtu VI
200 miles an hour and cruising
speed of l7j miles an hour. The
craft is to be equipped with radio
apparatus and is to have fuel
capacity of $50 gallons of gasoline.
From the Barking sands the
flight would be made direct tc
Crissy Field Mt san Francisco, the
aviators utilizing the army air bea
con to keep on direct course, Fri
man explained.
The plane would be refueled al
San Francisco, then flown to Los An
geles and refueled again, and then
the flight to New York attempted
Stops at the two Pacific coast
cities would be only long enough tc
complete fueling operations.

CHINESE CHIEFS

Chang And Advisors End
Conference on Russian
Situation.

MANCHESTER, Eng, July II
W.P)-Peping dispatches to the
Manchester Guardian stated that
General Chang Kai-Shek, head Of
the Nationalist government, Mar,
shal Yen IlskShan, governor OF
Shansi, and General Chang Hsueh
LANG, ruler of Manchuria, depart
ed hurriedly for their respective
capitals during the night, presuni
ably owing to the serious interna-
tional situation which is likely to
follow the Chinese anti-Soviet ae-
ton in Manchuria.
These high Chinese officials had
been in conference in Peping for
several days with a view to out
lining the future policy of the re-
public.
The expected crisis arose over
the Chinese seizure of practically
all branches of the Chinese eastern
railway, including telegraph and
telephone lines, and virtually ousG-
ing Russian participation in the
management of those utilities. Up-
ward of 200 Communists have been
reported arrested in Manchuria, &c
of them being deported to Russia.
The Chinese eastern railway, con-
troll of which is the heart of the
present difficulty between the
Chinese and Russian government
extends from the Siberian border al
Manchuria through Harbin south tc
Changchun where it connects with
the japanese owned southern Man
| churian railroad. 1t operates through
one of the richest and most attrac
tive territories in northeastern
Asia-a district with tremendous
potential possibilities and one thai
is watched most carefully by
China, Russia and Japan.
Because of this fact it has FIRE

WEATHER HELPS
TO SOLVE FARM
RELIEF PROBLEM
Reduction of Wheat Crop
Held To Be Beneficial to
Market.
BY WILLIAM P. McKENNA
UNITED Press Staff Correspondent


CHICAGO, July 12. W.H = The
problem which will confront Presi-
dent Hoover's federal farm board,
when it gets down to studying the
farm situation, will not be as seri.
Gus as at first was forecast, accord.
ing to views expressed today by
grain men here.
An almost unheard of condition
a month of unfavorable weather.
has brought relief to the farmers
and to the farm board. This one
month of weather has done more to
simplify the problem of relieving
farmers than eight years of politi'
cal discussion, according to these
men.
The government crop report,
based on conditions as of June 80,
which estimated the domestic wheat
yield at around 70,000,000 bushels
less than in 1928, in a way con-
firmed the wisdom of spectators
who have run wheat prices up over
25c from the levels existing when
the farm question was before the
special session of congress.
Crop experts agree that the con-
ditions of wheat in the United States
and Canada are much worse than
shown in the crop reports issued
July 10. These reports were based
on information gathered during the
last days of June, and it is only in
the last week that most of the dam
age to spring wheat in the American
northwest and the prairie provinces
of Canada has appeared.
A prominent market observer re-
ported the news coming from the
Dakotas and Montana as the most
sensationally bullish he has witness
ed in 25 years, and while the gov
ernment figures for spring wheat
We're 251,000,000 bushels, reliable
sources were giving estimates that
would indicate a probable crop as
low as l60,000,000 bushels.

ANOTHER COURT
RULING FAVORS
CILETT'S SIDE
Defense Must Prove That
Sheriff Believed Money
Was His.

The latest ruling by Judge A. c.
Finney, presiding over the trial of
Sheriff Charles l.. Gillett in supe
rior court here practically clears
the sheriff of the charges against
| him but places the burden of proof
on the defense.
The ruling, made yesterday after
, noon, holds that section 511 of the
penal code is applicable in the
! Gillett case. This section of the
code states, in language of the lay
man, that if the sheriff took the
money he is charged with appro-
priating and failing to account for
with the belief he was entitled to
it, that such is sufficient defense
and he cannot be held criminally
responsible.
However, the defense must now
prove that such was the case and
if the testimony of the defense
witnesses tends to show the sheriff
was advised by the district attorney
and other county officials to whom
he. was responsible that it was per
missable for him to take and keep
j the money paid for prisoners
meals, the only thing Judge Finney
can do, in the opinion of legal OBJ
servers at the trial, is to instruct
the jury to bring in a verdict OF
acquital.
The ruling yesterday afternoon
was the second serious setback the
state has suffered this week in
prosecuting the sheriff. Earlier in
the week Judge Finney ruled tina,
the majority of the records pro
duced by the district attorney were
! immaterial and would not be allow
ed to be passed upon by the jury.
Former Officials Testify
The defense, yesterday afternoon
in an attempt to show that Gillctt
took the money involved under the
three indictments in good faith
put on the witness stand Ernest R
Simon, former district attorney
three former county supervisors, j
Roy Adams, L. S. Shaw and John
Baker; Major S. Cook, former
county clerk and f. E. Cummings
former chief deputy sheriff.
Simon testified he had told Sher
iff Gillett he could do with the
money received for the feeding OF
prisoners as he saw fit. The forme,
supervisors testified Gillett haG
offered to turn over the feeding OF
the prisoners to the county any
time they wanted to take it over
Cummings stated he had showr
Gillett how former sheriffs had
handled the accounts and thai
Gillett had followed that method.
The defense brought out that in
the trial of Sheriff Cline of Lo;
Angeles county who faced similar
charges some years ago, the supreme
court had held the same as Judg'
Finney did yesterday afternoon and
that Cline was acquitted.
At the conclusion of yesterday 's
session, court was adjourned unit
Monday morning.

FLYERS
ALIGHT
LONG GRIND COMES TO END AT
2:12P. NJ. AFTER 246 HOURS

CULVER CITY, Calf, July 12-The red, black
and white biplane Angeleno having broken the
worlds endurance record for every kind of aircraft,
finally came down to earth here today.
The iron-nerved pilots of the secondhand single
motored craft Loren Mendell and r. B. "Pete" Rein-
hart landed at 2:12 p m.
When the wheels of the craft touched at the Gull
City airport il marked the end of trip which had
continued without stop for 46 hours and AZ
minutes.
The exact cause of the end of the flight was nos
known
Just before the Angeleno landed there was con-
siderable difficulty in attempting to establish con-
tact between it and the refueling plane.
The planes passed almost out Of sight over the
ocean and then came back to the field and landed.
The Angeleno was surrounded Immediately by
field attendants and newspapermen. Police lines
strained to hold back spectators.
In remaining in the air for more than 246 hours,
Reinhart and Mendell exceeded by more than u
hours the mark of 14 hours and SO seconds establish
ed in Cleveland Saturday, July G, by Roy Mitchell and
Byron NewcOmb
When the flyers stepped from the plane they
were covered with grease and whiskers Both were

motor of the Angeeno for more than 10 days and 10
nights.

dell was stretched out on the gas
tank.
Both of the endurance flyers
were wearing pajamas and while
Reinhart was attending to the con.
trolls of the Angeleno, Mendell was
reading newspaper item and at
the same time reeling and eating
an orange.
So far as Nikrent could tell
through the whiskers and the dirt,
he said, both flyers looked moro
bored than tired.
CULVER CITY, Calf, July l2.

pect to stay up here for days and

made the 37th contact since the An.
geleno started on the trip which
has broken all world s records for
endurance flying.
Clothing, gasoline and breakfast
were transferred to the Angeleno
during the contact.
The clothing brought forth am
other optimistic note from the avia-
tors.
"Feel 100 per cent better" they
wrote, "we know now that we will
be able to stick around to give the
Sunday crowds a treat.'
immediately after receiving the
new load of gasoline, Mendell and
Reinhart changed their course for
the first time in three days.
They took the Angeleno as far
west as the ocean and returned to
