can stop its progress. I look for q
great program of development to
be carried out during the new year
l am also optimistic about west
coast conditions during 1929 and
believe encouraging developments
VII! take place in both agriculture
and mining.
GUS MICHAELS-The present
outlook is that 1929 will be an
even greater year than that just
closing from the advertising view
point. More people will come to
Nogales during January than came
during the entire past year. Keep
your eye on Nogales.
BERNARDO SALAZAR-I am
sure business men of both sides of
the line join with me in saying
that the continued happy relations
vii! continue between the United
States and Mexico. Big things are
forecast for Nogales, Sonora, and
all Of Mexico in 1929.
F. NJ. LYNCH-Bank business
during 1923 has shown a healthy
increase and we can expect even
greater progress during the new
year. Paving the streets in Noga.-
es will be followed by other civic
improvements, suggest that we
get behind the Chamber of Com
merce and follow its 1929 program.

Lindbergh Accused
Of Diving Too Close
To Passenger Plane
Colonel Says Intention
Was to Warn Ship of
Stunting Pilots.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CLEVELAND, August 31.-Cliff Hen
derson, manager Of the national air
races here. announced today he has
asked William p. McCracken, Assistant
Secretary of Commerce. to investigate
a near accident of airplanes yesterday
piloted by Col. Charles A. Lindbergh
and Sam Taylor Of the Stout Air Line.
The trouble started when Taylor
piloted a three-motored plane. loaded
with passengers, over the air race field
while Lindbergh and two Navy pilots
were engaged in an exhibition Of stunt
ing.
Air race rules forbade ships to fly
over the field during such maneuvers,
but Taylor said he did not know Of the
rule and was endeavoring to land.
Lindbergh is alleged to have darted
away from the two Navy flyers and to
have flown toward the tri-motored
plane.
Taylor says Lindbergh swooped dam
gerously close to the big craft and that
the backwash from the colonePs plane
nearly capsized the passenger plane,
which had its motors idled, prepara-
tory to landing.
Lindbergh said he did not endanger
the passenger plane, but was attempting
to warn its pilot to get out of the
danger zone.
After the passenger plane landed.
Taylor and John Halpin. manager of
the Stout Line here. rushed to the race
headquarters to protest the actions of
the plane which they said had endan-
gered their craft. After they made
their protest, they learned that 1t was
against Lindbergh.
The usual custom of the Department
of Commerce, if it finds a pilot guilty
of violating air traffic rules, is to order
him grounded"
