Bad Weather and Fuel Shortage Forced Him
 Down Yesterday
OFF FOR FAIRBANKS
 FOR HIS NEXT STOP
Flier Attempting F a st Flight Over 8,460
 Miles, Loses Time


 BULLETIN = Fairbanks, Alaska, July 20.-Capt. Ross e. HOyt arrived here this afternoon at 1:02 o'clock. He made the flight from White horse to the airport here in three hours and twenty-twO minutes.
 Capt. Ross will immediately refuel and hop for Nome.
 Capt. Ross c. Hoyt, Army aviator, flying a one-seater Army pursuit plane from Nit chell Field, New York, to Nome, Alaska, and return, was in the air again today for his destination, after be- ing forced down yesterday afternoon at 2 o cloc c k, at Vanderhoff, B. G., due to fuel shortage.
 Heavy weather encounter led and a corresponding delay in fising is given as the req son for running short of fuel.
 Capt. Hoyt took off at I o'clock this morning from Vanderhoff and arrived at Whitehorse at 8 o'clock. He refuelled at Whitehorse and was again in the air by $40 o'clock, headed for Fairbanks, his next stop.
 Capt. Hoyt, according to advices received from White horse, expected to remain in Fairbanks only long enough to refuel and resume his flight to Nome. His schedule, prior to leaving New York, was to reach Nome at l o'clock this morning, take a six-hour rest, and then start -on his return | to New York.
 Flight Started Capt. Hoyt left Mitchell Field, New York, at 2:38 o'clock Thurs day afternoon in an attempt to make flight of 8.460 miles in quicker time than the journey had ever been made before. Capt. Hoyt planned the flight to demonstrate the feasibility of ex- tending the present pursuit range of Army ships by increasing the horse power and fuel capacity.

CHAMBER WANTS
 ALASKA MARBLE IN HER CAPITOL
Juneau Chamber Start. Campaign in Favor of
 Alaska Material

The Juneau Chamber of Com- nerce is working through Delegate Dan Sutherland and with the Su- oervising Architect of the Treasury Department to bring about the use )f Alaska marble in the construc- tion of the Federal Building at this place. It also is asking other Alas ka commercial bodies to become busy and urge the use of the Alaska material.
 Secretary Frank A. Boyle, of ths Chamber of Commerce, advances several reasons for urging the use of Alaska marble. lie contends that the Alaska marble will stand the wet weather better than lime stone, that it's use will insure the working of the Alaska marble quar- ries for sometime and give employ ment, thereby, to several hundred men, and that it's use in the build ing will be available for advertising purposes to an Alaskan industry that needs it.
 Secretary Boyle last night sent the following night letter to Dele. gate Sutherland, House of Repre-. sentatives:
 Telegram From Boyle
 Important to Alaska industry tt have contract for Federal building provide for use of Alaska marble Otherwise, we understands Iidians limestone will be used, and thi. does not stand wet weather as vel as Alaska marble. In addition the use of Alaska marble will in sure the working of marble quar-. ries for considerable time witt the emploppent of several hundr6a men and give prized industrN valuable advertising. Your as sistance in this connection will bt appreciated.
 Sutherland Busy
 Secretary Boyle today received the following day telegraphic letter from Delegate Sutherland:
 Have been urging Supervising Architect Treasury Department tt try and arrange for use of Alasks marble in construction of building Wish you would wire him direct setting forth reasons and urge hin to deal with successful bidders tt this end. Vermont Marble people are ready to supply marble at ap. proximate cost of limestone ol sandstone. The alternative of $25,. GOO for use of Alaska marble pro. posed by Severin and Company, i' unnecessarily high as I believe thu difference in cost is negligible"
 Boyle Continues Action
 Secretary Boyle will send night telegrams tonight to the Supervising Architect and various Alaska com. mercial organizations. Secretary Boyle declared toda. that there are many reasons, il addition to the very appropriate sentimental one, why Alaska ma terial should enter into the con struction of the Alaska capitol. l we can have Alaska marble, Alasks concrete, Alaska lumber, and al other Alaska material that nigh be available it would stimulate Alas ka development and give us won derful amount of valuable and last ing advertising-the sort of adver Using that is needed in this countr. when we are seeking capital fo the development of natural re sources"

Tuesday "Simba," the motion
picture record made by Mr.. and
Mrs. Martin Johnson, the famous
explorers, during four years in the
jungles of Africa and is one of the
most exciting and thrilling films
ever seen. 1t holds not one dull
minute from the time the John
sons load the outfit for their long
trip into the jungles up to the
startling climax when half-naked
natives, armed only with slender
spears, surround and kill full
grown lions. Marching across the
screen come antelopes, giraffes,
zebras, rhinos, hippopotamuses,
herds of elephants, leopards- all
the denizens of the jungle, just as
they are at home. And they are
photographed with q clarity and
against such wildly beautiful back
grounds that the value CT the film
is wonderfully enhanced. Among
the outstanding features of the
picture are the charge of the in
furiated rhino straight at Osa
johnson, who is forced to shoot
him to save her own life; the STAN
pere of herd of elephants, seeking
safety from a jungle fire, the
swarms of ugly crocodiles infest-
ing the river that the party was
forced to cross the gorgeous shots
of running giraffes, of speeding
antelopes and zebras; perfectly
marvellous fiashlight photos of
lions and leopards; and above all,
the scene which shows fourteen
lions, playing in a grassy glade
like lot of big cats.

ed of driving car while drunk. In
this connection and also dealing
with any license revocation, the
various seventeen states, and the
provinces of Canada which form a
part of this eastern motor vehicle
conference agreed that it would be
wise to advise each other of any
resident from another state who
tried to take out a license outside
his home state. 1t was pointed
out, that a New Jersey man who
tried to get Delaware license
might have had his license revoked
for some reason in New Jersey. If
as soon as an outsider applies for
drivers license, the home state
officials are notified, it would pre-
vent some one who was under
punishment from obtaining the
right to drive from another state.
The difference of opinion that ex-
listed last spring between motor
authorities of Virginia and Della
ware, were aired at the conference.
For some time Delaware authori-
ties had under consideration, a de-
cision to make the Virginia truck
drivers take out a Delaware lie
ense. But it was the consensus of
opinion, that instead of narrowing
the reciprocal rights between Vir-
ginia and Delaware, that they
should, if anything, be broadened,
and there the matter stands. Vir-
ginia has no law making an owner
take out a drivers license. Con
sequently there were many hired
truck drivers from Virginia who
were compelled to take out a driv-
er's license owing to the new auto
mobile laws enacted last winter.

Representative Robert G. Sim

District subcommittee of the House
Appropriations Committee, today be-
gan a new campaign to place the
office of the District Recorder Of
Deeds under the control of the
Commissioners.
Simmons began this fight during

tons bill at the last session Of Con
grenn. The change was bitterly
opposed by Arthur G. Froe. the
recorder of deeds.
The bill which he introduced to.
day to accomplish this purpose,
stipulates that the recorder of deeds,
and all employees in his office, shall
be appointed by administrative con.
troll of the Commissioners. 1t also
provides that all appropriations
for the recorders office shall be
extended and accounted for az in
other District departments.
Estimates for the operation OF
the office would be submitted an
nually to the Commissioners, and
the District auditor would check
over the accounts of the office
quarterly.
At the present time the office oe
the recorder is an independent es-
tablishment and its accounts are
audited by the General Accounting

Disregard of emergency, no park

other buildings where funerals are
being conducted is ascribed to Wash
ington motorists by Walter A. Cav
Ter. mortician, in a letter addressed
to Inspector f. W. Brown, assistant
superintendent of police with super
vision over the Traffic Bureau.
Gawler says that motorists fail
ure TO heed the signs has proved
distressingly inconvenient to the ex-
peditious movement of funerals.
II am calling this TO your atten-
ton not in any carping spirit" Cav
Ter tells Inspector Brown, because
we always have had the fullest CO.
operation Of your department in these
matters. Further, I am not critical
of the body of motorists, because
I feel that violation of the emer-
gency. no parking signs is not done
wilfully, bat, rather, negligently. /
do not believe that any motorist
would deliberately set about to hinder
the free movement of a funeral.
That, of course, is what happens
when the entrance of church, for
example, is blocked by parked cars. ;"
GaWler hopes to better conditions
by calling the attention of the driv.
