BORDER WILL
NOT Be CLOSED
TO RAILROADS

Threat of Governor Aberlard'
Rodriguez of the northern distrlc'
OF Lower California, to close the
international border to trains atte;
6 p. IN. at Tijuana and 9 p. nj. at
Mexicali, will not prevail and is
a thing of the past, following dc
cision of the MeXican federal court
at Tijuana yesterday.
Following the refusal of the
United States to change the present
hours of closing the line to pedes
trian traffic, the governor ISSUED
an order declaring that trains
would not be permitted to cross the
line during the hours when passage
was refused to pedestrians. The
move was believed to be in retalia-
ton for the action of the United
States, though this was denied at
the governor S prlace.
The Inter-California Railway
and the Tijuana and Tecate Rail!
road, subsidiaries of the San Diego
and Arizona and the Southern Pa
cific, which operate in Mexico
filed suit in the Mexican courts
asking an injunction against the
governors order.
In the meantime, the effective
date of the order was deferred
from July to September |, follow
ing Il meeting of Imperial Valley
business men at CaleXico, protest
ing against the order.
Tho court rendered its decision
yesterday, granting a permanent
injunction against the governor =
order, which is generally believed
to mark the close of the matter.
The governor has the right of ap-
peal to q higher court, but i'll we'll
informed circles it is not believed
Le will take such action.
Although such action does not
appear on the surface, it was point
ed out some time ago that the gov
ernor would have difficult time
maintaining his position. Mexican
leaders in the Mexican capital re-
2lize the debt their country owes
to the United States for assistance
in quelling the recent revolution
and are loathe to take any action
that will interfere with the friend
ship existing between the two coun-
tries.

The craft had arrived over the
San Francisco bay region at 3 a. m.
but had difficulty in locating the
municipal airport where refuelips
arrangements had been made.
Manner and Walker had intended
taking on larger quantity OF
gasoline but evidently had decided
their tanks held enough for the
journey to the Wyoming city.
A note dropped by Lieut.. Manner
said that an average speed of APP
proximately 100 miles an hour had
been maintained from Spokane.
The two flyers left Spokane at Il
p. III. last night and had not been
reported until they were sighted ap-
preaching the field here today.
Much apprehension was felt for
their welfare and the refueling
ship Californian had taken off
to search for them when their craft
scared over the airport.

The message dropped by the fly
ers was of cheerful vein and said'in
part: &" Hello San Francisco. The
people Of Spokane last night when

MOSCOW, Aug. IS. U.R)-Thc
Graf Zeppelin LETT the fertile val
leys cf European Russia behind it
today and scared over the Ural.
mountains toward the almost unln-
habited waste lands Of Siberia.
Storms threatened the great
dirigible to the south, and Com
mander Hugo Eckener chose a
northern route, well above latitude
60.
Enroute from Friedrichshafen on
its around the world flight, the
Zeppelin faced more than 5000
miles of Wild country before it
reaches its destination, Tokyo.
At 2 p. m, Moscow time & a.
m. EST) the Zeppelin reported to
its base at Friedrichshafen that it
had passed Ptzhevska, at the foot
of the Ural mountains and close to
the Siberian border. The ship was
making good progress.
Russian aviation men, from the
course the Zeppelin was taking,
predicted that it would continue to
follow the "Polar route across
Siberia to the far east. After
crossing into Russia from Latvia
last night, DR.. Eckener turned
north of Moscow because of the
weather and flew by way Of Boil
logda and Vyatka, on the Trans
Siberian railway.
Then the Graf +nrned north of the
railway, I.obably by way of Ust
Sisolosk, which is $50 miles north
east of Vologda. If it takes the
route expected by Russian aviators,
it will fly from theUrals about
900 miles over almost uninhabited
waste land to Yenissesk, on the
Yeneisei river in Siberia; thence
to Yakutsk, on the Lena river in
Northern Siberia, which is in lati-
tude 62 north; thence to Khaba-
rovsk, on the Manchurian border,
where Chinese and Russian troops
are concentrated; then down to
ladivostok and across the Japan
sea to Tokyo.
Moscow Disappointed
Soviet officials showed great dis
appointment when DR.. Hugo Ecken,
er, commander of the dirigible, sent
message stating it would be inn
possible for the Graf to fly over
Moscow on account of the threaten
ing storms.
The Soviet aviation society ex-
pressed regret that the Graf would
not pass over Moscow, for they had
planned to be out in full force to
see the great dirigible. All the local
newspaper men as we'll as the for
eign correspondents and the mem.
bers of the German embassy re-
mained awake in the hope of getting
a glimpse of Germany s mistress of
the air.
According to the best availab BILE
information the Graf was progress
ing at clip of better than 60 miles
an hour, a pace which, no doubt, she
would improve as her load of fuel
grew lighter.
The Soviet government displayed
great interest in the flight, hence
their anxiety that the Graf pass
over Moscow and possibly follow the
trans-Siberian railway toward
Manchuria, scene of the current con-
troversy between Russia and China.
According to reports from north
east Russia today, appearance of the
huge dirigible over the countryside
created sensation. Most of the
people of the district, which is
principally agricultural, had been
unaware of the fact that the Graf
was to fly over Russia. The more

4 WORKING MAN SPEAKS
RiSn1arck N Oak

Editor Tribune:
II YOU don't think a working man
learns something about the town i'll
which lie lives. you arc mistaken.
A maj who keeps his eyes and cars
open learns a lot of things as he goes
about his work. Ono Of the things
l have learned lately is that tho me-
mortal community building proposed
by the American Legion is going to
have the backing Of the working
people OF Bismarck. 1t is too good a
proposition TO miss.
Some people were surprised when
the county agreed to provide $4,000
for the construction Of this building.
But no one is going TO be surprised
when the people of Bisl .arck vote 10
come through with their share Of the
money. They know that a good. big
building is better business for the
community til !, a building Of aver
age size when will not have many
Of the things that VIC need 10 stimu-
late the city's progress.
What Bismarck needs is more COM
nlu,ity spirit. Everyone who lives
here has a right to take some pride
in his city. We people who work for
2 living have just as much community
spirit as anyone else and We arc going
to prove it when We vote On this bond
issue.
If we could afford to send our chill
dren away to school We might not
be so interested in providing a SWIM
ming pool and gymnasium facilities
for them. But the c arc mighty few
people in Bismarck who can afford a
private playground.
If we didn't have to work for a
living and lived on the interest of u
savings We might not be interested in
promoting the business, industrial and
commercial de ,elopment Of Bismarck.
You might be surprised at the num-
Der of people who want their employ
ers to do a good business. About the
best way of keeping the wolf away
from the door. that I have found, is
