Iindbergh drove the plane down
Penobscot Bay for a short distance and
leaving the water headed South after
circling the island. It was believed the
party would not return to the Summer

Robert Tondera, 40-year-old German.

today to be questioned by Sheriff Frank
S. Harding of Knox County, according
to a dispatch from North Haven, Me.
Tondera made the trip in company
with Deputy Sheriff Ludwig. Contrary
to an earlier statement by Selectman

status during his trip with Ludwig was
described as under surveillance" but
he made the journey voluntarily.

The man arrived on this island Mon

Lindbergh in Mexico. After arriving
here, he spent considerable time around

high state of excitement by the invasion

was posted at Tondera's lodging house.
When Ludwig came, Tondera readily
agreed to return with him to Rocklano.

CHARGED
TO EX-HOTEL MAN
Gustave Hertz Accused OF
Making False Statement
in Bankruptcy Case.

Gustave C. Hertz. former treasurer
which attempted to operate the Hamil-
ton Hotel at Fourteenth and K streets
after the bankruptcy of the Hamilton
Hotel Corporation in 1926, was arrested
today by Deputy United States Marshal
John j. Clarkson on a warrant issued
by United States Commissioner Turnage
charging perjury. The Consolidated
Hotel Co. went into bankruptcy in 1927
and the claim is made that Hertz swore
falsely to a schedule of assets and liza
bilities of The company before notary
public. The schedule was filed in the
Bankruptcy Court.
The warrant was sworn out by Ed
ward K. Thode of the Bureau of In
vestigation Of the Department OF Jus
tice, who, with Louis Loebel, also OF the
bureau, accompanied Deputy Marshal
Clarkson when Hertz was arrested. The
accused was taken to the off1ce OF
United States Attorney Rover and later
before the United States commissioner,
where Mr.. Rover asked that bail be
fixed at $4,000. Hearing was continued
until this afternoon in the absence OF
Attorneys Douglas, Obear g. Douglas
counsel for Hertz
Charge Specified.
The specific charge, according to
United States Attorney Rover. is that
Hertz took an oath before Margaret
H. Raedy, a notary public, June 10.
1927. that the schedule Of assets and
liabilities of the Consolidated Hotel Co.
was true and accurate. when, it is
stated, among the liabilities set down
was a claim of S319,697.27 said to be
due the Chesapeake Building Co.. which
then held title to the hotel property, as
rent. The prosecution claims there
was no rent due to the Chesapeake
Building Co.
The arrest of Hertz followed a fur
ther inquiry before the grand jury in
the bankruptcy case of the Hamilton
Hotel Co., in which last week an in
dictment was reported against G. Bryan
Pitts. chairman Of the board of the
F. H. Smith CO., charging him with
perjury in connection with his testi-
mony before the referee in bankruptcy
about the dealings of the Smith Co.
with the Hamilton Hotel Co. Pitts
gave bail for $2,500 to answer the in
dictment. Report of the action of the
grand jury on the new developments is
expected next week.

OCEAN AIR RACE
CHANCE ENHANCED
Paris Flight Sponsor and
Roger Williams Both at
Old Orchard.
Nv the Associated prsss

BY the Associated Press.
OLD ORCHARD BEACH, Me, May
22.-The possibility of a transatlantic
air race increased today with the ar
rival here of Armeno Lotti, sponsor of
the projected flight to Paris of the
monoplane Bernard 1911.
While Roger Q. williams was taking
his monoplane, Green Flash up for
a series of test flights to check gasoline
consumption in preparation for a take
off for Rome tomorrow, if weather con-
ditions become favorable, Lotti was
measuring the hangar of Capt Harry
M. Jones to determine if it could ac-
commodate his craft.
Examines Beach.
Lotti, who came by train from New
York. overnight, also examined at low
tide the 3-mile beach runway. which
permits an easy take-off with the maxi
mum load of gasoline. He had found
that Roosevelt Field, which had been
soaked by rain, must become thoroughly
dry before he could use it.
Pilot Williams took the Green Flash"
along shore to Cape Elizabeth.
miles east of here. and thence about
500 yards out to sea, before turning
inland and heading for Portland.
During the forenoon the sun burned
through the heavy fog which followed
yesterdays rain.
Weather Clearing.
Following Williams first test. fight
today, Capt. Lewis Yancey said if
weather permitted the start would be
made at 8 or 9 o'clock tomorrow morn
ing. when the tide will be we'll out. He
said reports now indicated that the
weather was clearing over the Atlantic.
He believed that the flight to Rome
might be completed in between As and
so hours.
Giuseppe M. Bellanca, designer of the
Green Flash, arrived this morning and
supervised the tests.
Lotti after inspecting the beach, ex-
pressed satisfaction, although he said
he was unable himself to make a deci-
sion changing the announced point of
departure from Roosevelt Field. He
called his associates in New York soon
afterward, but made no announcement
of the result of their conversation.
Williams made his second test flight
shortly before 9 o'clock. His plane, in
which Martin Jensen and Elinor Smith
both broke solo endurance records. has
had 307 hours in the air before today's
tests.

conference at Colorado Springs June 10
to consider the possibility of creating
an interstate compact for conservation
of OIL
This announcement was made today
at the White House. The Presidents
action was made upon recommendation
of the Federal Oil Conservation Board
The governors were told that the
meeting would take up the possibility
OF creating an interstate compact In
cooperation with the Federal Govern
ment for the better control of drilling
and the elimination of waste in the oil
industry, and were told further that If
they approved, representatives of the
Federal Government will meet with
them.

eral Mitchell had ruled that an agree
ment of oil Companies to curtail pro-
duction to the 1928 level probably would
be in violation of the antitrust laws.
After the Attorney Generals ruling,
the Petroleum Institute received from
the Federal Oil Conservation Board a
suggestion that three or four Of the
principal oil producing States, by agree
ment and through legislation, could set
up machinery which would bring about
the conservation desired.

Secretary Wilbur in speaking for the
board said that the Federal Govern
ment would in turn become a party to
such compact and take such action
as would be necessary to see that the
compact was observed by the subscrib-
ing States.
Immediately after the Petroleum
Institute agreed to promulgate a COM
pact, the oil conservation board sent
DR.. George Otis Smith to see the
Governors of Texas, Oklahoma and
California and discuss the possibilities
of such a compact with them. Mark
L. Requa, oil administrator during the
World War, also has been promoting
the plan through discussions with off,
cials of the various interested States

California will be able to reach COM
pact satisfactory to Both the Petroleum

U. S. and Civil Engineers Try
Water "Cushion" to Solve
Hickman Problem.
MOUNDS LANDING, MISS,
LANDS ARE THREATENED
Federal Ruling Against Convict
Labor May Be Suspended
Until Crisis Passes.

BY the Associated Press.
MEMPHIS, Tenn, May 22-Greatest
anxiety over possible levee breaks in
the Mississippi River and its tributaries
today was felt at Hickman, KY, and
Mounds Landing, Miss. Government
and civil engineers fought to hold the
streams back from home and farm
lands.
Workers at Hickman tried to solve
a peculiar problem by filling a gap be-
tween an old and new levee with water
from the stream they were fighting.
They planned to form cushion of
water between the two levee lines, in
creasing the chance that the river
would be defeated.
Several River Commission boats stood
by ready to aid if the levee should 20
out and in any case TO provide shelter
and supplies for the men working there.
Convicts May Be Used.
The memory of the disastrous break
in 1927 at Mounds Landing caused
those in charge of the levees to place
promise from Washington that a
Federal ruling preventing the employ
ment of State convicts on the levees
would be suspended if an emergency of
sufficient proportions arose. River
Commission engineers insisted that such
an emergency did not exist. A break
at Mounds levee probably would flood
Greenville and the delta farm lands of
that section.
Forecasters at New Orleans predicted
rising stages for the lower Mississippi
in June. The forecasts increased the
crests expected from Natchez to the
Gulf. The predicted New Orleans stage
was between 20.5 and 21.5 feet.
Red to Continue Rise.
The tributary Red River, the predic-
tlons said, would rise below Shreveport
until the end of the month. The Red
has flooded approximately 10000 acres
In Arkansas, doing the most of its dam
age in Little River. Hampstead and
Miller Counties. The Bankhead High
way was under water near Texarkana,
where the river has ceased its rise.
Another tributary, the always trouble.
some st. Francis again threatened in
Missouri. The passage of two DAYS with
no break since the crevasse near Ken
nett led engineers to believe that further
danger would be averted unless new
rises forecast prove too much for the
badly strained levees. Estimates of the
area under. water along the st. Francis
varied from $4,000 to 10000 acres.
