 to Sudden End

ROOSEVELT FIELD, N. Y, May 24-Failing to live up to the Dumas tradition of "one for all and all for one," the crew of the Mono plane Three Musketeers, quarrelled and indefinitely have postponed further attempts to set a refueling endurance record.

JUDGE HARDING AND US. ATTORNEY FOLTA
 RETURN FROM HUNT

U. s. District Judge J. w. Hard ing and Assistant U. s. Attorney George w. Folta returned on the Admiral Watson from Yakutat where they have been hunting bear for the last ten days. They brought back the hides of two black bear and one brownie killed by them. As has happened before when Judge Harding and MT. Folta have hunted bear together, there is some confusion as to who killed the brown bear and one of the blacks, as they both shot at exactly the same moment, according to the story. The other black was killed by MT. Folta when he was alone.
 The weather was poor, and it was only possible to hunt three days out of the eight they were at Yakutat, MT. Folta said. They saw three brown bear and seven black in the vicinity of Yakutat, but were only looking for the brownies.

At The Morrison, the yuest who has ginger ale. mineral water, or ice taken to his room is placed on his honor not to use hem for. mixing alcoholic drinks. He must sign pledge card upon delivery of his order.
 Other hotels. including The Drake md La Sale, have adopted similar. put less drastic rules.
 The hotels actions followed a warning several days ago that the government would institute paddock proceedings against private clubs hotels, and similar institutions un- ess drinking were forbidden and topped on their premises.
