appointed manager after 12 years service on July Ia and he died the next day
 The newly enacted law which gives the bank commissioner power 10 inquire into the affairs of fidu- clary institutionsAin the state, some of these having been outside the scope of that officers powers in the past, IS said to have been one step towards bringing about self exam nation of the company's affairs, revealing conditions which led the directors to drop Emmons. It had been thought that license to do business would have to be taken out and before such license was ob- talned the bank commissioner would have had to be provided with a cer- tlhcate of its financial condition.
 under its charter the security company did not come under super vision power of the bank commis- sloner, such as in the case sefkstate e banks and trust companies. Tho se- curity company, however, by it's charter was limited in the chara cter Of the business it did.

LINDBERGH LOCATES LOST NAYAN CITY

 cal Work by Airplane

Santa Fe. N. NJ, July 30 P-Civ- llization which lowered in central and North America at a time when Charlemagne's military genius was consolidating vast empire in Europe, are surrendering the secrets of their ruins to this age with Col. Charles A. Lindbergh prime mo- yer in the research work.
 The glory which was Maya-eXem- plifed by archaeological discoveries of the AboriGincse knowledge of architecture. astronomy. sundry arts and writine-is being emphasized through the medium of the airplane. It was disclosed here yesterday that Colonel Lindbergh. aided by his bride. is taking keen interest in archaeology and has contributed to the historical scroll the discovery of an ancient Mayan lost city Tn the Yucatan jungle.
 The find was made while Colonel -indbergh was making his Pan American good will tours. But the story of the colonel's interest in air photography of such ruins is one which had 10 be patched together and eventually verified after lapse of almost a year. in which he eX- -aibited his usual disinelination 10 ak about hmself and his personal activities.
 His interest aroused by the Yuca- an discovery. Colonel Lindbcrgh consulted Dr. ]. C. Merriam. presl- dent of the Carnegie institution of Washington, and on invitation. ad- yised the institution regarding the methods of making aerial surveys in the tropics.

one would start up again and stay Jntil they wore out the motor and your record would not stand"
 Jackson and O'Brine. therefore. were confronted with the major de cision whether to keep going or to land with magnificent gesture Of triumph. . There was considerable speculation on what their answer would be. and about the only straw in the wind was their last note, yesterday, signed by O'Brin''. saying:
 T see nice crowd waiting down below for us to land. Well. We are sure sorry, but as far as we know we will be up here this time next week. so tell them to go home and We will notify them when we get ready to land"
 O'Brine'S note took a good natur ed dig at Jackson's 'woodsawing' propenstes while asleep. and ex- plained that he just had a nighr mare and when he awoke he was singing T Wonder Whats Become of NdilN, nat olu bdl OI NY Nlllic (Mrs. Jackson's name is Sally.
 Had Crap Game
 Jackson's co-pilot also revealed that while flying high over St. Louls yesterday the two airmen engaged in a game of "carps," saying "t broke him. l got both nickels. We have been flying at $500 feet. We sure find it nice up here. It's 50 smooth"
 At 2:01 p. m., today if still aloft, the Robin will have exceeded the former record of 246:43:32 hours, set by the Angeleno at Culver City, Calf, by one full week, or 1cS hours-a margin larger than the full time of any of three competitors who started out 10 break the record after the Robin went up July 13.
 Both pilots. earning S116 jointly each hour, now have amassed to- tai of s9,321 each since the record was established week ago. This extra flying money and the con- tinued smooth functioning of their plane, may balance their decision lH favor of remaining up until forced to make dead stick landing without power.

their "St. Louis Robin" at 3:l7 a. m. today to the amazing figure of t04 consecutive hours in the air.
 Apparently good" for many more hours, they nevertheless were advis- ed by sponsors of their flight they were at liberty to land even before the motor failed them. Earlier they advised the field attendants flor all we know We will be up here weeK from now"
 Another remarkably clear flying day and night found the Robin soar ing above the field today, emitting q rhythmic put put that seemed to say 'tut-tut all Is we'll"
 Sobered By Accident
 But obviously sobered by the tragic ending of the attempt of Capt. O. l. Crichton and Owen Haughland to establish a record in the Min nesota," packers of the flight of the Robin went into conference and sent significant word aloft to Jackson 9nd O'Brine.
 A lengthy letter, signed by Major William B. Robertson, president of the Curtiss- Robertson Aircraft Mfg. company, builders of the Robin, ex- haustively reviewed the technical progress of the flight and said:
 "l do not want you to become 100 iatigued. but if you are enjoying yourselves, getting plenty of sleep, and keeping in good physical condi- 1ion, and if in your opinion the air plane and motor are excellent con dition. you may keep on as long as you see fit"
 What the flier's reaction to that indirect injunction to use more tha normal caution had not been deter mined early today. Their reply had . not been received. It reflected, how ever, numerous requests from scat tered members of the public 10 "Gall them down after 400 hours"
 Warned to Watch Ship
 Robertson specifically cautioned Jackson and O'Brine about the cen dition of their motor-which yester. cay they reported was weakening He also warned them against the possibility their plane structure might be weakened, and that their | landing tires might be defatcd. "Of course" he said, i've do not want anything to happen that will mar your record, still at the same time we do not want 10 dictate to you about the machine. as you no ! doubt know more about it than We ! do. You are doing such a darn good job, tEe motor and plane are func- 1 tioning all right, ii does seem shame for us 10 even approach the subject of coming down, but as [ stated before. we cant tell what condition this motor is in here or the ground and We are leaving it up to you entirely.
 Want Record to stand
 We believe that the motor has proved conClusively everything that we wanted 10 know and we would not want any trouble to mar your 1 record, Thls is all true, but if we aid call you down after 400 hours, lnd there was still some more time in the motor no doubt within the next three days or three weeks some

 ~0anted varying amounts Of lana on ~the McCook property ranging from
 so feet to the whole estate. MT. 4Kimball, a member of the commls- .~sion it has been learned, went to ~'Governor Templeton and urged him
 Ito use his good offices with his exec ..utive secretary in the hope Of ac- -quring more land.
 " Talked With McCook
 The governor, McCook supporters maintain, came to his secretary ex- ~plaining that he had no intention Of ~~forcing anybody's hand Or of inter-
 fering in the estate. and asked Mr. .-McCook what could be done.
 Majaf McCook, they say. advised -the governor to request the commis-
 sion to put their wants in writing so s-that he might consider the matter ron a more definite basis than then ~available. The letters, asking for 90 fleet of land making up the knoll ad- ~joining the sanatorium,. was then Forwarded to the governor by the Commission. Major McCook dis s4cussed the letter with his father, the .,late John J. McCook, and the knoll ~was surveyed.
 The McCooks found, it is reported. a.fhat the crest of the knoll was 60 -feet away and a letter was written "to the governor offering the so foot
 strip to the commission without cost ...tn the state, but with the provision --that no additional land would be sought by the commission from the .McCook property. Friends of Major -McCook maintain that the commIs- sion should not have written its let ~ter if it was convinced the small
 strip was not adequate and if it be- .lieved the best interest of the state s-necessated larger territory.
 Claim Templeton Intermediary
 Those supporting the McCook view --declare Governor Templeton was merely the intermediary between the
 commission and his secretary whi'e -the other group adhere to the opin- '--ion that the governor, trying to pro- s~tcct his secretary. threatened Dr. "Maher with removal from office if he did not agree to terms proposed MT. Templeton. however. the third participant in the triangle, main ~tains a silence which leaves the facts -still in the uncertain stage.

beginning, only small appropria- ton was made by the concern fo' advertising and only small maga- zines were patroniZed. Later Cor bins decided to impress upon the business world that the name Cor bin' meant quality and national advertising campaign was started. A slogan was adopted and is still in use today. All of the advertising matters in magazines and books is headed by the words, Good Build ings Deserve Good Hardware" The advertising circulation of builders hardware of Corbins in the country is 5000. 900.
 The rorbin concern deals in two kinds of builders hardware. One is the stock business mainly with job bers and the other is the contraG; business. All orders for equipment of large buildings are taken by con- tract. Salesmen are sent to city in which it is planning 10 erect an i'm portant building and contracts are made for furnishing builders hard ware, the speaker said.
 MT. tomstock stated that P. X F. Corbin's takes care of the national advertising but local advertising Is left in the hands of the dealer. The dealers themselves must place the name of Corbin's before their GUS toners. The local concern, however, helps the dealers in many ways to advertise their goods by furnishing them with signs. lantern slides, cleo tric lights, newspaper articles about the products and in any other way that is possible. When industrial exhibits are held in cities. the deal CTS are furnished with samples so that they may place thelr wares be- fore the public.

 The hunhutzies, groups of ban dits, would figure in any war in the Manchurian neighborhood. These are bandit gangs which organize for raiding parties in winter. when times are hard. and could easily be used for guerilla warfare, in which they might make considerable trouble. They operate both north and south of the Amur river. Most of them are Chinese, although rumors cited in Manchuria say that some of the bands have been subsidized by the Russians.
