He asserted that the second law en-

engineer and lining /up the passengers

The gang. believed TO number i've
men, apparently had made consider
able preparation for the noidup. Two
of them boarded the train near Pitts
burg and ordered the passengers in the
FIRST car to raise their hands. Then,
after searching every one for weapons,
without taking any money from them,
one Of the men climbed into the engine
cab and ordered Engineer ]. II. Barnes
to back up the train. The latter re-
fused to comply and the robber shot

Use Machine Gun.
The engineer, although wounded, was
forced to back the train to spot whsre
third robber sat beside machine gun.
Here the passengers were ordered out
of the train and lined up with the ma
chine gun trained upon them. TWO OF
the robbers then ordered the railway
mail clerk, George Tyler, to open the
door of his car. He refused ana the
machine gun sent a shower OF bullets
at the feet of Conductor Harry Walms-
I'ley, who would not give up the key TO
the car.
Walmsley, threatened with death,
produced the key. One Of the robbers
entered the car and, after firing three
shots in the general direction OF the
clerk, showed him out Of the door and
lined him up with the passengers

SPANISH FLYERS
TO RESUME FLIGHT
Plan to Take Off for New
York From Isolated Is
land in Azores.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
MADRID, June 22.-All Spain to-
night, after a day of uncertainties and
conflicting reports, rejoiced over
radio message from Maj. Ramon
Franco that he had arrived safely with
his three fellow aviators at the isolated
island Of San Miguel, the Azores.
Not only we're the flyers and their
plane safe, but it was reported that
they would resume their flight toward
New York tomorrow afternoon. No
explanation was received OF why they
chose to land at the eaSternmost point
of the island group instead OF at
Horta, where supplies would have been
readily available and from where their
safe arrival could have been immedi-
ately flashed to the world.
Indeed, news of the landing was re-
ceiyed here hours before Horta had
word of it. For space of time this
morning it appeared, since they were
unreported, that the flyers might have
been forced down short of the islands,
but no fears were entertained because
their Dornier Wal ssaplane was re-
garded as extremely seaworthy. They
had started from Cartagena, Spain, at
4:50 pm. yesterday Q0:50 am. Eastern
standard time).
Portuguese Ship Reports.
The first definite word came from
the Portuguese warship Vasco Da Cana,
which relayed the message it had
picked up from Maj. Franco. I'VE ar
rived at am. and intend to resume
our flight at pm. tomorrow, Sunday"
1t said.
Premier Primo De Rivera ordered the
news broadcast throughout Spain and
termed 1t a new triumph for the Span
ish aviators. King Alfonso, who was
en- route to Paris, was kept informed
by special arrangements. Government
officials look upon the venture as a
demonstration of the commercial prac-
ticability of regular air service be-
tween Spain and the United States
rather than as a sporting effort.
The Spanish Air Lines, controlling
aviation throughout the kingdom, cabled
the flyers that it was hoped that the
success of the fight would prove the
possibility of establishment of regular
air service over the route.
To Start for New York.
It was understood here that the flyers
tomorrow would make an effort to
reach New York without stop. They
had arranged, however. to refuel at
Halifax, Nova Scotia, II their gasoline
supply should be exhausted by strug-
Cling against head winds. The Span
iards plan to visit Washington and after
a short stay to reverse their route to
Spain.
Maj. Franco after careful examina-
ton of the entire plane said that 1t
was in perfect condition and that 1t
would be flown to Horta early Sunday
morning. Mechanic Pedro Madariago
had worked on the motors from noon
to pm.
At that hour his three companions,
much refreshed by long sleep, awoke
and made an inspection of the plane.
Maj. Franco said that as soon as 1000
litres (about $50 gallons) of gasoline
were taken on at Horta the flight would
continue toward New York by way Of
Halifax.

SIR ESME CALLED
'ON HIM, B0RAH SAYS
Reports That He Had Visited
Ambassador Are Denied
by Idahoan.

Senator William T. Boral1, chairman
Of the foreign relations committee, yes
terday took cognizance of published re-
ports that he had called upon Sir Esme
Howard, British Ambassador to discuss
with him matters relative to the pro-
posed naval-limitation agreement be-
tween the United States and Great
Britain.
The Idaho Senator, in letter to the
editor Of the New York Times, said nat
ly he had not called upon the British
Ambassador, but that the British Am
bassador had called upon him. The
New York Times had commented edi-
torially and caustically upon Mr.. Borah's
supposedly seeking out the British Am
bassador. Senator Borah's letter to the
editor of the Times follows:
Dear Mr.. Editor: In your leadins

is used: AS soon as Senator Borali had
read the speech of Ambassador Dawes
and found 1t inadequate and disappoint.

Ambassador at Washington I did moi

THE editorial further states: The

the Senator of the United States to &c
to foreign diplomat in order to discuss
the condition of international affairs.
Again, I beg to inform you that I die
not go to foreign diplomat. The for
eign diplomat came to my office upon
his request.
You further state: Perhaps he, Sir
Esme Howard, did not understand that
the Senator was making more than q
friendly call of farewell This is also
wholly without foundation. I did not
make any call. I received the British
Ambassador and was very glad to re-
ceive him.
Now, Mr.. Editor, permit me to state
the facts In regard to this wholly exag-
gerated event. During the closing hours
telephoned and stated that the British
Ambassador desired to see me. Owing
to the crowded condition Of affairs ir
