Establishment of a new world sea-
plane record by Lieut.. Apollo SouceK, IN

by Frederick r. Nicely, general manager
Of the National Aeronautic Association
following a check of the planes oaro-

der the international regulations gov
erning records. 1t is provided that previ-
olIs records must be exceeded by at
least 100 meters before new official
record can be recognized. Soucek ex-
ceeded this mark by only 227 feet.
Lieut. Soucck last month established
a new world altitude record for all types
of planes. reaching an altitude OF 80, 40

RIVER RESEARCH

Mississippi Seen as Fine

BY the Associated Press.


HONOLULU, June Private wealth

ter Of the American continent TO create
the new science of f1uviology. said DR.
T. A. Jaggar, jr., one of the worlds
foremost volcanologistS, here recently
He was referring at the time to the
overflow of the Mississippi River in
1927, when many persons were drowned
The property loss was S300,000,000 and
eight States were affected.
Fluviology, said DR.. Jaggar, would
have to be based on the same general
basis as volcanology-that is, humane
ing.
1T is clear that a humane motive
exists in fluviology or river science" he
continued, along with the need for ex-
pertinent and the making of scientific
records strictly in the domain of pure
science, unaffected by politics, bu-
reaucracy or commerce.

PEORIA LIQUOR DEATHS
JURY UNABLE TO AGREE
Morris Mansfield, Charged With
Murder of g of More Than 20 Fa-

BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
PEORIA, ILL.,, June THE jury in
the case of Morris Mansfield, charged
with murder in connection with poison
liquor deaths. reported today it was I'M
able to reach a verdict and was dis
charged by Judge Daily. The jury had
been out 40 hours.
Mansfield was indicted for six of
more than a score of deaths in Peoria
caused by poison liquor. He was al
legged to have been the wholesaler of
the liquor in connection with the six
deaths.
The trial concerned only the death of
Harry Huddlestone, in which Mansfield
was charged with first degree murder.
The case was given to the jury late
Wednesday after the defense had put
only one witness on the stand. He
was Dr. Ralph Webster, Chicago pro-
fessor and toxicologist, who testified it
was impossible to determine the cause
of death without chemical analysis of
the viscera. The State made no such
analysis.

$4,000 for the rental of overflow quar-
tiers, and those for the purchase of a
site, $4,000, and for the branch library
building, $l15,000, the balance of $459.-
ll6 strictly for maintenance represents
but 30 cents per capita. Contrast this
with 81 per capita set up by the Amer
lean Library Association as the neces-
Sary minimum for municipal public
library maintenance expenditures. Con-
trast 1t also with the library mainte-
nance figures of certain other cities as
given by the latest comparative table
OF public library statistics of cities over
10000 population for 1929, which
gives Cleveland library maintenance
expenditures as $1.67 per capita: Bos-
ton as $1.32; Minneapolis as SlO2, and
indianapolis as 81. In that table Wash
1ngton's maintenance was but 500 cents
per capita
The Public Library's quota of but 0.S
per cent OF all the Districts main
tenance expenditures is contrasted with
Cleveland where 80 per cent of all
city expenditures are devoted to library
support, with Indianapolis where "a
per cent of city maintenance expendi-
lures go to the library and with Min
neapolls where the percentage of tax
money devoted ito the library is 90.
Pointing to this unfavorablc contrast.
DIR. BoWerman said: 1T is evident
that the Public Library here is receive
ing a disproportionately small share of
the tax money. If the library were
granted even the average that prevails
IN American cities it would net lag so
lar behind in the number. of branch

ITALY BREAKS RECORD
WITH CORN OUTPUT
Methods of Production Are Greatly
Improved as Result of Fascist
Governments Aid.

This years harvest in Italy, writes
the Rome correspondent of the London
Sunday Observer, has surpassed all prec-
edents and all expectations. 1t amounts
to 100000 quintals of corn, an adj
vance of 100000 quintals on last
years production. Eighty million ouin-
tails OF corn being needed to feed the
entire population, it is calculated that
during the coming IL months the gov
eminent will only be called upon to inn
port some 100000 uuintaIs of foreign
wheat, instead of the usual $4,000, 600
or 25,000,000. Experts state that italy
may now confidently look ahead to the
day when she will be able to supply
homegrown bread to all her people,
without any recourse to other countries.
except for certain special qualities of
wheat.
There are several very satisfactory
features about the present harvest. In
the first place the increase In produc-
ton has taken place all over the coun-
try, In widely different varieties of soil
and climate. though, naturally, the
north of Italy, and especially the plains
of Lombardy and Venetia, are the real
granary of the nation and account for
more than half of the total yield.
The pre-war yield of corn per hectare
1.-TWO and a half acreS) averaged 10
quintals, the present average is over IA
quintals per hectare, while 26, q and
even 80 quintals per hectare have been
obtained at Milan Brescia and Cremona.
The present magnificent harvest is
due to four years strenuous propa-
ganda in favor Of intensive cultivation.
But this is not all. If the battle for
corn" is now progressing toward vic
tory, 1t Is because the energy and ac-
tivity Of the Fascist government have
been able TO create a new spirit in
italian agriculturists and wean them
away from their apathy and from obsti-
nate persistence IN Anticipated methods.

DRY AGENTS DEATH
LINKED WITH QUIZ
Undercover Man Assigned to
Probe of ''Higher-Ups,"
Officials Reveal.

LEXINGTON, KY, october II (F).-
The disclosure that Andrew Bierlein,
so years old, prohibition undercover
man who was found dying early We'd
nesday at Newport, KY, had been en-
gagged in investigating 'higher-ups" in
the Illicit liquor trade was made by
Federal officials today in reiterating
their belief that he had been slain.
They were conducting two investiga-
tionS.
Suicide Theory Held.
Northern Kentucky and Cincinnati
police had said they were inclined to
believe that Bierlein tried to commit
suicide by jumping from a railroad
bridge, but were unable to account for
the fact that his body was found some
distance from the 7o-foot structure, too
far for him to have jumped.
United States Commissioner Charles
NJ Wizard made the disclosure that Bier

Transfer Is Asked.
Bierlein worked in Newport for many
months and asked to be transferred
because he was afraid the underworld
there knew of his connection with the
prohibition forces.
Two distillery guards revealed Thurs
day night that the informer had been
taken for ride" early Sunday by Two
strangers and left bleeding i've miles
in the county, after they had robbed
him of a watch, cash and Government
papers, including the names of more

The center of the sun on eclipse day
covered a certain point in this field OF
stars, and of course 1t is the same point
on the comparison plate. Let us call
this point the center. The Einstefn
theory predicts that each star in this
field of stars will be farther from the
center on the plate taken eclipse day
than it is on the comparison plate
We are gratified that it was clear
enough and the air steady enough at
eclipse time to photograph the stars.
The comparison plate was made in
Swarthmore in December, 1928, five
months before the eclipse. 1t will be
some months before the work of meas
uring the plates and reducing the meas
ures will have been completed.
Smallest Points Caught.
On our best plates we have photo
graphed stars as faint as 9.3 magni-
tudes-far too small to be seen by the
unaided eye-in the field around the
sun. They show that the air through
which they were photographed was not
entirely steady, but the images are good
and can be measured with fair de-
gree of accuracy. The number of stars
on the plate is sufficiently large to give
a fairly good test Of this much-discusSed
Einstein theory, but some months must
elapSe before We can say whether these
plates show If the theory is true.
A striking feature shown in one of
our photographs made with our 63-foot
camera is great prominence on the
eastern edge of the sun. This promi-
nence appeared very bright even to the
unaided eye. The prominence is SO 900
miles high, more than ten times the
diameter of the earth. It has a base
100000 miles long. The prominence
was changing its shape very rapidly
so rapidly that one could see how much
1t had changed by comparing with the
unaided eye) plates made four minutes
apart.
This statement carries greater signifi-
canoe If one recalls that the scale of
our photograph is a little more than
100000 miles to the inch. That is. if
a certain detail of the picture had
changed by one-tenth of an inch, the
corresponding detail in the prominence
had moved 10000 miles during the four
minutes that had elapsed between ex-
DosureS.
Usually Formed of Gas.
Prominences in general are, as has
been shown with the spectroscope, COM
posed of hydrogen, helium and calcium
gases. We did not make a spectrum of
this one. They are studied more eff
fectively in regular observatories.
The plate made with the 63-foot
camera shows that in the main the
corona was comparatively simple. but

PARIS THEATER BARS
1918 CONTRACT BREAKER
LIE Bargy, Once Powerful "Socie-
taire," Cannot Act Anywhere in
City Under Old Ruling.

The theaters are opening again, and
in those that are not yet open rehear-
sails are in full swing. A curious situa-
ton has arisen at the Coincide Fran
caise in connection with the departure
of LIE Bargy, whose engagement has now
come to an end, writes the Paris cor
respondent of the London Sunday OBJ
server. Since his return to the Come
die he has been a salaried actor, and
not the powerful societaire that he was
before he broke his contract and de-
parted in 1918.
But the comite of the Franchise
maintains that he is still barred by
the judgment which was passed against
him before the war from acting any
where in Paris, and this, although it is
now so years since he >first entered
the Franchise, and although later socie-
taires have broken their contracts with
out suffering any such rigorous penal
ties. A story is being told, by the way,
of his reply to an actor who, on being
reproved for being late at rehearsal,
had proudly protested that he had
been at the Coincide Franchise for the
last 20 years. You cannot be blamed
for that" said LIE Bargy, but you can
for not having been here for the last
20 minutes"
