IS READY FOR TEST
Machine Built in Garage
T0wed to WallingfOrd
Today

Nels J. Nelson of SIS East street,
one Of this country's pioneers in
aviation. has completed work on
al airplane of his own design. and
today towed the ship to the Walling-
ford airport for a trial flight.
p The machine was built during the
winter months in Mr.. Nelson's gar
age. Associated with him in the
construction we're Ben Driscoll Of
this city and William Driscoll OF
Hartford, both of whom intend to
qualify for pilots licenses while op-
Grating the plane built here.
The craft is constructed to carry
pilot and two passengers. 1t Is
propelled by a 80 horsepower
motor. The wings were removed
today to permit Of its being towed
over the highways without inter-
ferring with traffic and when they
have been replaced at the Walling-
ford flying field, the test will be
made.
This Is the 26th airplane which
Mr.. Nelson has owned. He has
record OF 500 hours in the air, hav-
ing made his first fight several
months after a plane was piloted
over New Britain by Charles X
Hamilton. Mr.. Nelson's first air
plane was in course OF construction
when Hamilton Day" was marked
here by the presence OF Mr.. Hamil-

he was using prevented his slowing
down to take the bumps gently.
Martin Jensen was in the third az
last leg of his race to set a new
solo endurance flight record today
and still going strong.
Jensen went up al S:o1:34 o'clock
yesterday morning to beat tho late
Royal V. Thomas record OF 35
hours and 33 minutes, which would
keep him in the air until e:35 this
evening.
Through a. miscslculation early
today he decided he was going to
lose his fight. but a later check
showed he still had good chance
TO win. Between and o'clock.
when he was circling Long Island
no higher than so feet from the
ground in sodden rain. he dropped
a note saying he had only so gal
Ions of gasoline left. enough for
about five hours. He explained that
the automobile gasoline he was
using would not permit idling his
engine and that at full speed the
consumption was IL gallons an
hour.
Advised to Check Again
Emil Burgin. chief pilot for the
oil company that is sponsoring the
flight. went aloft in a plane on the
fuselage of which was the painted
advice to Jensen to test his tanks
again as observers could not be-
lieve there was SO little fuel left.
Shortly after 10 o'clock Jensen
dropped second note saying that
he found he still had 10 gallons.
The sun was then shining and
conditions generally had improved
and aviators estimated that the 10
gallons ought 10 last from eight to
10 hours. or Just about enough to

France, as we'll as Great Britain and

sinking Of the Canadian schooner

boat in the Gulf Of Mexico.
This new complication has been
added to the case by report from
the French consul at New Orleans
that the seaman drowned when the
alleged rum runner went down was
a French citizen. He had been de-
scribed previously as a naturalized
British subject.
The French embassy immediately
cabled this information to the for

to await instructions before taking
Up the matter formally with the
state department. Meanwhile. it is
also awaiting a full report from the
consul on his investigation Of the
seaman's citizenship.
Unlike the British and Canadian
diplomatic representatives. who are
concerned with the brodd principles
involved in the sinking Of the ves-

Coolidge, Urging Adequate Defense,
Holds Peace is ''ldeal Of Future''

Philadelphia. March IS P-Peace,
in the opinion OF former President
Calvin Coolidge. perhaps is an ideal
that can come only to future gen.
erations which are more perfect
than our own"
Writing in the April number Of
the Ladies Home Journal on Pro
noting Peace Through Preparation
for Defense" the former president
says the nation should take every
rrecaution to prevent war, ''of which
adequate defense is one" and that i
also should take every precaution 10
protect itself to the fullest possible
extent from the ravages of war, 'if it
does come" He says the army aai
navy serve the double purpose Of
prevention and defense
Mr.. Coolidge declares the forces
required for adequate national de-
fense should be large enough so that
others would see that there would
be a great deal Of peril involved in
attacking u.s." and not SO large that
the United States would feel it
would undergo no peril in attack
ing others"
NO sure way has ever been found
to prevent war the former presi-
dent says. Opinions may differ as
to whether nations with military
forces are more likely to enjoy peace
than those which neglect their de-
fense. In the last analysis, this is
question Of dealing with human ma
ture.
Il very strongly suspect that II
there were but one nation in the
world supplied with an army and
navy and. to make the supposition
as strong as possible. If that nation

Since Monday, when Mrs. Adams

that Mrs. Adams had a gentleman

When asked about the report that
the Adams case might be four-sided
rather than three, States Attorney
Hugh NJ. Alcorn said today that

Letters found among Adams ef-
