Washington, Sept. l8.- Since the
Temporary cessation Of hloodshcd III
Palestine the background OF the con-
3lict has begun to piece itself together.
The recent visit Of a delegation OF

which appear too formidable to allow
any forecast of a near-futurc solution
OF the Palestine problem.

 Dempsey. much affected by the scenes and disinclined to talk at any length, nevertheless made it clear he had not made any decision about retirement from the ring, declared he had no intention of trying to fill Richards shoes at the Garden and explained his interest in promo tion of the Sharkey-Stribling f1gA: at Miami Beach.
 "When a fellow like Rickard dies it takes the edge off everything" said Dempsey. 'He was my pal"
 The former champion indicated he would have no definite statement about his future ring plans or other activities until he leaves New York or returns to Florida.
 My plans now are only for the immediate future." said Dempsey. T shall try to carry out Tex's ideas as we'll as I can.
 we were interested in many things together and these are the ones I want done as Tex would have had them done.
 Before I decide anything about my personal plans I am going back to Miami Beach to help with the Stribling- Sharkey fight. I agreed to fight again for Tex but everything is so scrambled now that I don't know what l will do until sit down and think 1t all out.
 "I am not interested in taking Tex's place in Madison Square Gar den. No one could do that and my self perhaps least of all.
 "My part in helping with the Mi ami Beach fight will only be in be- half of Mrs Rickard and because I knew what Tex wanted done..'
 Dempsey explained his mart in the coming fight at Miami Beach has nothing to do with the Madison Square Gorden corporation. He said he and Rickard were heavily inter- ested in the dog track where the bout Is to take place and for that reason he feels he should carry out the promoters wishes.
 Under no consideration, Dempsey said. would he referee the bout.
 While he did not actually commit himself. Dempsey gave the impress

 He added that the New York. New Haven and Hartford has no crossings not marked in some way. while there are several thousand in the country not marked.
 He quoted . verse to illustrate why so many men get hurt or killed at grade crossings.

 He told Of one grade crossing &C., cident where the motorist crashed into the 34th car of a train and Of another when a train was stopped on a crossing and was struck by an automobile, one each side almost at the same time. He closed with the reading of the following decision by the United States supreme court:
 When a man goes upon railroad track he knows that he goes to . place where he will be killed if 6 train comes upon him before he is clear of the track. He knows that he must stop for the train. not the train stop for him. It seems to us that If he relies upon not hearing the train or any signal and takes no further precaution. he does so at his own risk
 If at the last moment (name of plaintiff) found himself in an emer- gency. it was his own fault that he did not reduce his speed earlier or come to stop"

 Shortly thereafter. Rutherford went to the house at the request of Davenport and noticing the smaller joists, remarked that he would not have sanctioned placing them in the floor. Rutherford said today he at no time rejected the building since the matter was of slight importance and would have caused extreme waste with no benefit had an order been issued to rip it out. With spe- cified safeguards. the building was then approved. Rutherford said.
 Ridiculous, Ruthcrfoed Says
 Tt Is ridiculous to say that ! re- jected the job after Inspector Fay sanctioned 1t, and such is not the case" tho chief inspector com mented.
 About two weeks ago. Davenport came to the building department for a conference regarding the job. and at tho invitation Of Rutherford. Fay came into the conference room. The discussion switched from the Day. enport street dwelling to a dilapidat- ed barn on the Davenport property which Fay had ordered torn down and on which. he says. he has been unable to get action despite threats of prosecution. After several re- marks of an alleged disparging na- ture concerning Fay's ability. the deputy openly accused Davenport of being "sore" because he Is being pushed for action on the barn mat ter. and Fay. according to his own statement and that of Rutherford. declared: wen ride you until you do take down that barn."
 Charges "Incfficiency or Collusion" On the following day. Davenport communicated to the building conn mission his demand for a hearing, alleging that Fay was either 'fn- efficient or in col usion with the contractor" in allowing construc- tion other than specified by ordi- nance.
 He also asked that an explanation be made 10 him as to what is meant when a city esnploye tells a tnxpay- CT: even get you for this" These words hn ascrihed to Fay during tho building department conference. Tho herring wi'l b. pubic and VII! he ,,~ll .t r'"'ock on the eve . ains ~ Ja.v.rv IT.

 But even against those insur- mountable odds the courageous crew refused to give up without a daring last minute battle against mechan" ical failures. When every effort to revive the tagging motors failed. Major Carl Spatz. in command, finally gave the landing order. excess gasoline and supplies were dumped. and the ship glided to earth prac- tically at the spot from which 1t took of at 7:26:46 a. m. January !.
 .S2 Hours Over Records
 Landing at the Metropolitan air. port here guaranteed the crew ofri- cial recognition for record-breaking performances made by the ship. which flew 32 hours longer than air craft ever stayed aloft before. and s6 hours longer than an airplane ever before had flown.
 About the only record of conse- quence not lifted by the question mark Was the non-refueling endur- ance flight record of the Germans. Johann Risticz and Wilhelm Zim- merman. made about six months ago. That record of 65 hours. 25 minutes stands only by virtue of the fact that no new supplies were taken on board during the flight.
 The refueling endurance record of SC hours, 37 minutes. held by Bel gian aviators, was broken by more than 90 hours. Invading the realm of lighter -than-air craft the Ques- ton Mark also eclipsed all known endurance records. flyirg 32 hours longer than the French dirigible Dixmude. which held the record Of l18 hours.
 Just how far-reaching an effect the Question Marks achievement will have upon the future of military and commercial aviation was yet to be determined. It prompted army and navy aviation officers to predict a new era in flying. It demonstrated the feasibility of refueling in air un- der a variety of conditions. II caused Rear Admiral w. A. Moffett. chief of naval aviation. to envision round the world nonstop flights. It prompted many aviators to declare that trarecontinental and even trans oceanic fights might become com monplace. It forecast that airp!anes of the future will carry more pay load and less fuel. taking small sup plies of gasoline on the run as required.

 Congratulations came 10 the crew of the plane by basketfulls. from Secretary of War Davis; Assistant Secretary F. Trubee Davison; from Admiral Moffett and others. Exact nature of the motor trou- ble which forced the ship down was not determined as the great yellow and black monoplane was taxied into a hangar immediately. and placed under guard pending exam ination of it's motors. which was or dered for today.
 The pilots themselves, who sub mitted to physical examinations and brought their log up to date before turning in for long deferred quiet sleep, believed faulty valve springs ended the flight.

 Statements and log entries of the men revealed that the seventh day aboard was one of the most enjoy able, and most of them recorded that they felt more physically fit at that stage than earlier in the flight when bumpy air. threatened fuel shortage. cloud and fog banks threatened life of the flight.
 Although temporarily deafened by droning motors the men quickly ad- justed themselves to quiet on the ground and were able within a short time to hear human voices for the first time since New Years.
 Aloft they had been forced to de- pend upon the written word for communication.
 Although the physical examina- tion revealed that most of the men were in somewhat weakened condi- iton. it showed that Major spatz the commander. actually was in better trim than when he boarded the ship.

 Not least of the aftermath of events that swirled around the crew of the Question Mark was the mass of telegrams that flooded their ho- tel quarters.
 Among them was a congratula- tory messag ge from F. Trubee Davi- sen. assistant secretary of war. It read Major Carl Spatz: Deeply appreciate your telegram. Cannot tell you how very proud we are of you and your crew and all those who made possible the success of your extraordinary achievement. Please give them al. my very warm- est regards and congratulations"
 Another from Major General yohn L. Hines. chief Of the ninth corps area at San Francisco, read: Ma jor Carl Spatz; Letter received. Con- graduate you and crew on your splendid achievement. we applaud you"
 Tonight 1t was indicated from army sources that another flight of the great plane yet lays before it.. A preliminary inspection will be followed by a flight to Washington. Whether its veteran crew will ride the cabin has not been determined. Neither has the date of the flight been fixed.
