CRASH NARROWLY AvERTED
Yellow Bird Oodges Pier. Skins

Dumps Gasoline

Old Orchard. Maine, May 29.-(R-
Transatlantic flights of the mono.
plane Green Flash and Yellow Bird
were definitely postponed for TODAY
after take-off attempts ended in near
disaster. After receiving weather adj.
vices which indicated continued fair
weather for tomorrow. the flyers de.
cided to abandon q second attempt
today. Pilot Roger Q. williams Of
the Green Flash said an early start
tomorrow would permit full day OF
daylight.
Lewis A. Yancey. navigator OF the
American nlonoplane, said that 8 a.
m. had been set as the take-off
hour tomorrow.
Armeno Lotti, who made q skilful.
though perilous take-off for Paris in
the Yellow Bird, only to be forced to
return by a leaking gas tank, an.
nounced he would make q second at.
tempt tomorrow il he could obtain 4
new supply Of fuel to replace that
dumped overheard today.
The monoplane Yellow Bird returned
to the beach here 20 minutes after It
hoped off for Paris today.
Just Missed Pier
He had great difficulty In getting
his heavily laden ship into the air
and was approaching q steel amuse-
ment pier before he had gained any
appreciable altitude. He was forced
to turn out to sea with such scant
clearance that one wheel of the craft
once actually touched the water.
An examination of the Yellow Bird
revealed that vibration Of the motor
had opened a seam in a fuselaRe
tank, releasing q considerable uuan.
tity OF gasoline. The French flyers
then decided to dump their heavy
fuel load and return.
The n1ishap to the American pisus
was not known at the time to have
held up her start. When the Yellow
Bird began to move forward crowds
on the beach believed the Green
Flash had resumed her course. It
was not until the French plane rolled
past the hangar that 1t was realized
1t was not the American monoplane
that was getting away.
Find Broken Spokes
The Green Flash was found to
have broken spoke in the left wheel
and to have loosened other spokes.
Williams, the pilot, Immediately or
dered a new wheel from another
Bellanca monoplane now on the
beach.
Lieutenant L. NJ. Melkan. pilot Of
the coast guard plane which accom-.
panied the Yellow Bird, said the
French flyers began to lose what lit
tie altitude they had gained after the
take-off upon reaching Portland
lightship. five miles beyond Cape
Elizabeth, and dozen miles from Old
Orchard.
He said he thought the Yellow Bird
touched the water several times and
he wirelessed q call to coast guard
vessels for assistance. He quickly
countermanded the order when the
plane dumped fuel and gained alti-
tude.

Carl Mahan, Given Is Years for
Killing Playmate, Didn't
Realize Wrong
IS JUST LIKE OTHER BOYS
Pores Over CoIored Pictures ot
Comic Page as Judge Sen.
tences Him to Prison

Paintsville. KY. May tNEA)-
This town is rather ashamed of the
notoriety 1t has been getting recently.
More than 100 years Paintsville lay
sequestered among these hills. un-
known to front pages. save for the
fame that its millionaire son, John
G. G. Mayo, conferred upon 1t occa-
sionally.
Then that dreadful thing happened,
and all the front pages were pointing
scorn at Paintsville where a county
Judge had sentenced the 6-year-old
boy. Carl Newton Mahan. to the re-
formatory for Is years for killing his
8-year -old playmate, Cecil Van Hoose.
They had quarreled over q piece Of
scrap iron.
In all the centers ol civilization, in
cluding the enlightened portion of
Paintsville itself. this was regarded
as an untl1inkable reversion to dark
time when children as young as seven
were imprisoned and even banged for
crime.
A jury of farmers had found Carl
Newton Mahan guilty and a county
judge, who in private life is q Bap-
tist preacher. had imposed upon him
the sentence # IS years.
Into the darkness that had fallen
upon Paintsville there entered a
woman bearing the torch of the scien-
ttfic method Of dealing with delin.
quent children.
Tried by Science
She brought with her q portion of
the laboratory of the most enlight-
ened Juvenile court In America. that
Of Judge Charles w. Hoffman Of Gin
cinnati. In this juvenile court there
is no trial by jury or even by Judge.
Judge 1Ioffman's court is q clinic Of
psychologists. psychiatrists and physi-
clans. The mind and body Of the de-
linQuent child are examined, the men,
tai and physical causes Of his de-
linquency are found and treatment
for their cure is prescribed.
In order that there might be set
before the nation an example Of this
enlightenment, Judge Hoffman con-
sented to q suggestion that the psy-
chologist Of his court. Mrs. Ethel

Madison. Wis, May 29.-(P)-Gov-
ernor Kohlcr today signed the bill re-
pealing the states prohibition en-

cent referendum"
Federal Enforcement Only
Governor Kohler's signature Of the

ment OF dry laws in wisconsin to
federal agents, was followed by a
statement that the 18th amendment
provides that 1.-The congress and the
several states shall have concurrent
power to enforce this article by ap-
propriate legislation"
The governor believes this imposes
no obligation upon the states, but
leaves It optional with them as to
whether or not they will exercise their
concurrent powers"
Governor Kohlcr warned that the
legislatures passage and his sigma
ture Of the repeater should not mis-
lead any Of our citizens into the be-
lief that traffic in intoxicating liquor
heretofore prohibited by the state has
become lawful or that the saloon will
return" He then cited federal regula
tions against manufacture and sale
Of intoxicating liquors.

schmidt. Milwaukee Republican. was

of it. the trade in contraband beverages increases by
great leaps from year to year.
Well, increase of 100000 gallons in three years is
not long enough leap to make much of hit on the

DRUNK ARRESTS DECREASE
Police Chief of Massachusetts City
Reports SO Per Cent Decrease
for 1923

Police Chief Frank O'Callahan, of Chic
opee, Massachusetts is quoted in the
Springfield Union, of December IS, as
saying in his annual report to Mayor
Cloutier and the Board of Aldermen,
regardless of what some persons think
about the VolGtead act. it is steadily gain
ing and I am sure will continue to gain if
given fair trial. Chief O'Callahan de-
clared prohibition "the most forward step
taken in this generation"
He points to a total of 1888 arrests for
drunkenness during the fiscal year end
ing November &c. the smallest since 1916,
except in three years Immediately follow
ing the widespread deaths from wood al
conol poisoning in ChicOpee.
In commenting upon the figures show
ing the arrests for drunkenness, Chief
OCallahan says, you will see by the
above record that arrests for drunken
ness have decreased Dy nearly so per cent,
to be exact 1872 per cent, since 1916, and
the decrease this year is nearly IL per
cent over 1927 46 less DRINKS arrested
this year than in 1927, which shows that
regardless Of Wat some persons think
about the Volstead act, it is steadily gain
ing and I am sure will gain if given ~ fair
trial
Before the Volstead act went into eff
feet, at II p. m when the saloons would
close, the officers would have to double on
all posts in the business districts and drive
the DRINKS home or lock them up. There
is no doubling of officers now as there is
no need Ct it, and after 10 or Il o'clock
your streets are practically deserted.
People are at home with their farnilies.
In spite of the fact you will hear some
people say that the Volstead act is ruin
ing the country In my opinion it is the
most forward step taken in this genera
ton"
