ENDURANCE FLYER
KILLED IN PLUNGE
Thomas Reid Crashes al
Cleveland After Setting
Solo Record.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CLEVELAND, Ohio. August 31,-
Pilot Thomas Reid crashed to earth
and was killed here early today short
time after he had established new
record for solo endurance flights, ex-
ceeding by at least two hours the old
mark of SO hours, Sc minutes and So
seconds. The plane disappeared at
about 3 o'clock this morning, watchers
at the airport said. At dawn the
wreckage was found.
Reid established the new record at a
short time after / o'clock this morn
ing. He continued in flight above the
airport for some time. but later the
sound of his motor died away in the
darkness. Timers in the flight held
their stations at the airport, however,
believing that he had changed his
course to vary the monotony.
Absence Causes Alarm.
AS the hours went by, however, his
continued absence caused alarm, and
when no trace of him could be found
.at daylight search was organized
First reports were that he had gone to
sleep at the controls and allowed the
ship to get from under control. Reid
had been in the air since few min
utes after, IL O'Clock yesterday morning.
Reid's home was in Downey. Calf.
The plane was found shattered against
tree in Fairview Village by Pilots Bill
Buffers, chief pilot of the Stewart
Aircraft Corporation, and Dale F..
Dryer, who went up to look for Reid at
daybreak.

port they saw the plane scattered near
the tree, with Reid's body lying Is feet
away. Dryer said that the only con-
cluSion was that Reid had gone to
sleep. A wing was torn from the plane
when it struck the tree and its fuel
tank was found unused. Dryer said that
he believed Reid fell almost Immediately
after he first was reported missing. He
estimated the time Of the crash as
shortly after am.
Timers in the attempt were still at
their watch at the airport when the
body was found. Dryer said he and
ing near the scene OF the crash, and re-
turned to the airport to notify officials
of the Emsco Co., hackers of the fight.
Reid's wife In Downey was notified.
The record which Reid established
will not stand, inasmuch as the rules of
the American Aeronautical Association
provide that planes in altitude and en-
durance flights must come to earth at
thes point of taking on. The present
record, held by Lieut.. Herbert J. Fahy,
therefore win stand.

CONTINUE
To BOMB REBELS

NOGALES, Ariz., April 2O.-CF)-
Mexican federal and rebel forces
promised to show the border area
here some more aerial warfare to-
day.
Rebel headquarters at Nogales,
Sonora, was expecting another visit
from federal bombing planes as the
result Of an announcement yeSter-
day by General Abelardo Rodriguez,
federal commander in Baja Call
fornia. Rodriguez declared loyal
filters from three points would bomb
the Sonora rebels every day until
the revolution ends.
This declaration was made at
Mexicali, shortly after three federal
planes had dropped bombs and
pamphlets upon Nogales, Sonora.
Rebel forces turned their artillery
upon the planes. There we're no
casualties on either side.
The federals have planes at
Sonoyta and San Luis, to the west,
and at Naco, to the east of Nogales.
Rebel troops worked far into the
night erecting defenses Of sand
bags and digging trenches. All
saloons and cafes we're closed at
midnight.

A government bulletin today pre-
dicted a battle very. very SOON at
Masiaca. southern Sonora. between
1000 federal cavalry under Cen
eral Talamentes and the rebel west
coast army rear guard.
General Talamentes' cavalry was
less than rs miles south OF Masiaca
when last reported and moving upon
the rebels entrenched there.
The battle, 1t was expected here,
would be the forerunner of a greater
conflict at Navojoa, where the prin-
cipal rebel army in southern Sonora
was concentrated. Here. IL the re-
bells stand and fight. the biggest
battle OF revolt on the west coast
may take place.
Defeat here will leave the rebel
army little alternative other than
dispersal since the army OF General
Almazan and the gunboat Progresso,
with its cannon commanding the
railroad at Guaymas, will cut off
retreat to the north.
General Gales was still at San
Bias, northern Sinaloa, directing

THREE WOMEN HEROES
OF SASABE BATTLE

TUCSON, Ariz.. April 20.-(P)-
Three American women were hailed
today as the heroines of the battle
of .Sasabe Mesquite) Sonora, in
which 20 rebels were killed and
wounded in an unsuccessful attempt
to repulse an attack of 1875 federal
soldiers.
The women, Mrs. Arthur Hard
grave, wife of the former president
of the Kansas City Chamber of
Commerce; Mrs. A. Hardy, wife of a
San Fernando, Ariz., physician, and
Mrs. James H. Jones, a guest of
Mrs. Hardy's, crossed the border
into Sasabe after the battle yester-
day and attended the wounded
fighters.
Eighteen of the rebels, command
ed by Lieut.. E~ncarnacio Rojas, fled
to American soil, and were held for
internment.
The fight began at dawn, when
the federals advanced upon 30 re-
bells entrenched at Sasabe. In two

Harvesting Texas Rivers

Federal engineers are in Texas obtaining data on
flood control survey being made from the Brazos and
Colorado and Guadalupe rivers, These surveys are
to ascertain where reservoirs can be constructed so
as to hold back flood waters and prevent disastrous
overflows.
T. Is said that dams may be constructed easily on
lever portions Of the rivers where they may protect
much fertile farm land.
According to an expert heretofore it has been con-
sidered that to build dams at any locations except
in the hilly regions near the head and far away from
most farming regions adjoining, would be too expen-
sive.
Now who are the owners of the rivers of Texas?
Perhaps a decision of the Small case will clarity the
atmosphere and answer the question.

section a close up view of conditions
shortly to fall upon the nation in
the captivity, and the second Sec
ton a far visioned prophetic view
of the Prince Of Peace in his first
advent in humility and suffering
and a still more distant view of him
in this second advent in glory.
The Message of Comfort
Our lesson is the opening note of
this second section Of Isaiah and is
expressive of the spirit of the en-
tire section: Comfort We, comfort
We my people. saith your God. Speak
We comfortably to Jerusalem, and
cry unto her, that her warfare is
accomplished, that her iniquity is
pardoned; that she hath received of
the Lords hands double for all her
sins" The city and nation so short
ly to be destroyed and scattered in
the captivity are by no means to
be obliterated in life and influence.
They have the hope of a brilliant
future in one who is yet to come
and restore the nations ancient
glory. They are still spoken of by
God a. my people and he still
has for them comfort and pardon.
The Kings Highway
Two voices r heard of which
the first is that of a herald and
forerunner of a King to prepare a
highway for his entrance into the
hearts of his subjects. His message
IS. Prepare We in the wilderness
the way Of the Lord, make straight
in the desert a highway for our
God" The use which John the
Baptist made of these words leaves
little doubt as to who was the COM
ing King whose way vas to be pre-
pared for his entrance into the
hearts of his people. His entrance
required the filling up of the low
places of sin. and the bringing down
of the hills of pride and the
Strengthening out of the crookedness
Of sin. All this was to be the fruit
Of genuine repentance. The open
ing note of Christ's ministry as OF
that of John the Baptist, his fore
runner, was, Repent, for the king
dom Of heaven is at hand"
The Perishing and the Abiding
In the midst of that generation
when all the things the people SCI
their hearts on were soon to perish
in the captivity they needed theil
attntion directed towards things i'm
periShable. So a second voice is
heard crying, "All flesh is grass, and
all the goodness thereof is as the
flower of the field: the grass with.
ereth, the flower fadeth; because the
breath of the Lord bloweth upon it
surely the people is grass. The gras:
withereth, the flower fadeth; but
the word of our God shall stanc
forever" This was the very thing
to which the perishing nation was
paying least attention, and conse.
quently it was perishing.
