DITEMAN RUM0R BRANDED FALSE
Continued From First Page)

landing in Greenland was the only
 hope airmen held today for the
 safety of Urban r. Diteman, Jr..
 Montana cattleman. long overdue on solo flight from Newfound-
 land to London.
 Nothing has been seen or heard
 of the flier since he disappeared
 out over the ocean 10 minutes : after taking off from Harbor Grace, N. F., at 10:45 a. m. (oastern , standard time) Tuesday.
 : He left a note saying Am bound for London"
 <. His small open cockpit Barling . monoplane Golden Hind carried 165 gallons Of fuel, sufficient, he esti- , mated, for 25 hours cruising The 24 : hours expired at 1l:45 a. m. yester- ! day.
 The hope that Diteman might be down somewhere on the coast of , Greenland arose from an Exchange . telegraph dispatch from Copenha- gen to London which said 150 gal Ions of gasoline had been ordered : sent to Julianshaad, Greenland, for
 a MT. Diteman" two months ago, The order was filled. the gasoline be-
 ing forwarded from Copenhagen. Abandoned Northern Route Even this slight hope was dimmed , by the statement of his wife at Bill ings, Mont, who said her husband had contemplated a route to Lon , don by way of Greenland and Ice , land, but had abandoned it in fa- yor of an attempt to span the 2,95O , miles in one jump, 1900 miles of , which was over the open Atlantic from Newfoundland to Ireland. But with the knowledge that Dite- , man had studied the Greenland , route, airmen were reluctant to re- : linquish hope. pointing out that he might have decided to change his , course after taking off and oncoun- , tering difficult weather conditions. Whether he attempted the direct crossing or a flight 10 Greenland. eX, perts said he faced almost insur- . mountable difficulties. D.. James H . Kimball, meteorologist Of the New York weather bureau, who is ar , authority of ocean flying weather conditions said that Ditcman faced
 500 miles of chill fog off the New fcundland coast that could easily . have caused ice to form ir the wing. of his plane, forcing him down , Farther out, Dr. Kimball said, ht would not have found improved con. ditions until he neared the Irisf
 coast
 , Clarence D. Chamberlin, who flew : the Atlantic 10 Germany, said Dite , man was certain to have met thu . danger that bcsets pilots unaccus . toned to blind flying, as i. was very . easy to go into q spin when tht . horizon was not visible.
 Rescue Chance Remote Although makers of his plane sait , f. might float several hours if thu , gasoline tanks were emptied to giv' . it buoyancy. the chance of Ditema1
 being rescued by a ship if he wer' forced to the surface wer" regarded as remote, as most Of his course wa . out of the regular steamer lanes. Diteman, who was 3t years old claimed to be q direct descendant from Sir Francis Drake. Englisl
 navigator. His plane was christenet
 the Golden Hind for one Of Drake
 ships. He became interested in avia
 ton about two years ago and hat
 200 hours flying experience.

New York, Oct. 24 (Pl-A bear on- slaught on a nervous market yester- day precipitated the severest break in the history of Wall Street. It wiped out more than $3,000,OOO,OO0 in paper values during the last hour of trading.
 During that hour 2,6O0,0O0 shares were sold and scores of stocks shot down from 10 to 96 points Total sales for the day were 6,SGS,300.
 Blow Unexpected
 The blow fell unexpectedly upon market that had opened calmly and moved prosaically through four hours of trading, although giv- ing evidence of the depressing re- action to upheavals of the earlier part of the week. The first indica- tions of slump came when the ticker fell half an hour behind the market It was the signal for a stampede and frightened dealers and investors threw their holdings on the market for what they could get. Trading was paralyzed. favorite leaders went down with the weak stocks to set more than 100 new lows for the year, including such issues as General Motors, Radio, Montgomery Ward Sears Roebuck, Sinclair Oil, Chrysler, Canadian Pacific, kennecott, and Lambert. Adams Express fell 96 points for the longest drop. Ken necott Copper dropped from 74 to l 67 on one sale of 20,000 shares

 Coates, however, was permitted to say that the minute book was not a part of the financial record of the | company. Martin tried to show that the accounting firms audit was not adequate enough to substantiate assertions made by Coates on the stand, but was baked by Hoyt, who was sustained by the court.
 Then Martin asked Coates: Have you any proof that any of the money you testified was drawn from the segregated accounts went into the officers pockets?"
 At the same time, Martin pounded the attorneys table.
 "I object to the question and to the dramatics," shouted Hoyt
 "Well,' rejoined the defense counsel, T object to Brother Hoyt juggling coins in his pockets and swinging in his chair"

 Stream BcautifiCd
 But men of every mould have wrought with equal bravery in this transformation of the wild beauty of the Ohio river into the not less beautiful but more tractable stream of today. The engineers found the practical means, but many others contributed to the vision, courage and persistence necdful to this ac- Complishmcnt. Statesmen, river men and business men may share the glory. The elders present may well regret the absence of such stalwart figures as Col. William IT.. Merrill and Captain William B. Rodgers, whose ingenuity and dauntless faith bore so large q part l in this achievement.
 q personally feel deeply the ab- sence of Senator Theodore Burton, at whose bedside in Washington I l i chairman of the historic inland Wa 1 terways commission, appointed by l President Roosevelt in 1907, gave the foundation upon which this great development has been created Tho report of that commission in 1908 has been the bible of water ways improvement Its first result was the act of 1910, with which be gan the present project, now brought i to successful conclusion. It reflected not only the clarity of mind with which the senator has endowed pub lie issues for a generation but also the broad humanity of his spirit, that dwclt with especial concern upon the problems of equity in volvcd and upon the welfare of the whole body of men and women of the country for whose benefit the program was primarily undertaken. Praises Speaker IOnGwOrth "Of Speaker Longworth, who l fortunately is present, it should be recalled that he was one of the ] founders of the Ohio Valley Im- ! provemcnt association and has both i privately and as an officer of the government worked indefatigahly in l the case of this development for more than quarter of a century. He and his associates deserve high i remembrance in the records of this achievement.
 But the whole Ohio valley and the nation as we'll should be con- graduated upon this occasion. A new agency of service now begins it's quiet Iabors for mankind. The tow path that led one Ohio boy to the White House has been modern izcd. But opportunity has been cx- ] banded by the abandonment of the tow path for the engine. It is the glory of our scientific age that it's sooty processes in the end bring re- suits that make childhood stronger and happier, and give to manhood and womanhood a life richer and more varied

covered in the charges exceeded" $50, Hoyt's figure is S166, 400, but Coates added that he had found records showing the amount unpaid to noteholders totaled be- yond twice that"
 Coates said that the total labil- ties of the company on the day of receiVership were S1.044,32S, ex- elusive of s13,OO insurance. Actual debts were S514,32S, of which $23,- S24 was due the National Trades mans bank, and $114,5O0 the Second National because of overdrafts.
 Preferred stock totaled s49O,2O0 and common s39,S00. The mil lion dollar figure included both types of stock Coates said each officer owned S10,00O of common. but was not questioned on the dis tributiOn of preferred stock The original investment of each officer was s2.500. Benjamin Slade of de- fense counsel won an objection to Coates testfying on the denial by the state banking department of a license to the company. Slade said this testimony would be immaterial and Hoyt withdrew his question. Clarifies Transactions
 Coates testimony clarified 10 some extent the involved transactions on which testimony and documentary evidence was offered last week and today. The complicated manner in which the accounts were handled, both because of the nature Of the parker-Smith business and of the officers activities, had obscured the significance of the testimony and documentary material.
 Judge Schatz of Hartford, at torney for the concern in the re- ceivcrshin proceedings on May 29. received two checks. S3,O0O from the Mathilda Griffiths account, and S2,000 from the Peter Kolinsky ac- count. Coates testified that the company had overdrawn $1,5S1 from it's own accounts and about S3OO,O 900 from mortgage trust accounts. The charges against the officers cover only half this amount, how ever.
 The checks drawn against the segregated mortgage trust accounts were always made payable, Coates said, 10 the bank in which they were to be deposited.
 Finds Court Opposed When Charles J. Martin of defense counsel began cross examination of COates he found the court opposed him on questions concerning the authenticity of Coates records. On objections raised by Hoyt, Martin was frequently overruled
 The defense counsel began by asking Coates whether the directors minute book had any connection with the companys bookkeeping 1 system
 Are you going 10 question the au 1 thenucity of the record books or the | bank accounts?" asked Judge Wolfe. If so it will have some bearing on the ruling I will make"
 Martin replied: T want to present to the jury a true picture of the sit uation."
 What picture are you talking about?" asked Judge Wolfe. "The picture of this minute book, |"
 vas the answer.
 Judge Wolfe then pointed out that the defense would have ample opportunity to offer testimony and evidence disproving the authcntici- ty of the states voluminous docu- mcntary and other evidence.
