.EAKER AWAITS
FLIGHT ORDER
Takes Plane Back to Kelly
Field Pending Action By
War Department

II am confident I will secure per-
mission from the war department
in a few days to make the Panama
flight" was the statement of Cap
tain Ira C. Eaker as he climbed
into the cockpit of the Pan
American" Sunday afternoon to fly
back to Kelly Field.
The only hitch in the airport
celebration was receipt by Eaker
Friday of a telegram from the war
department ordering postponement
of the flight.
Eaker expressed the opinion he
would return to the Brownsville
airport Wednesday or Thursday,
stating he is prepared to take off
on the dawn-to<dusk flight to Fan
anna as soon as permission is grant,
ed by the war department.
Il wish to congratulate Browns
vile on its municipal airport and
the celebration that has been stag
ed. / consider the port as near
perfect as any in the world, and I
feel assured it will prove an i'm
portant factor in developing air
traffic between the United States
and Latin America. I greatly
appreciate the welcome accorded
me and the many courtesies re-
ceived."
Before leaving for Kelly Field
Captain Eaker gave demonStra-
ton with the speedy little Boeing
plane he will fly to Panama. The
plane left the ground after run cf
less than $50 yards, and headed
up at an angle Of approximately 40
degrees. disappearing through a
small cloud less than 80 seconds
after it left the ground. Emerging
from the cloud the machine whiz-
zed downward and passed over the
reviewing stand with the speed of
an arrow. Captain Eaker waving his
farewell to the crowd below. Turn
ing the prov upward the small
plane climbed with amazing speed
and swinging to the north was lost
to view in two minutes.
Practically the entire contingent
Of army planes had left the field
some time before Captain Eal1er's
plane took the air, but he arrived
at Kelly Field with the vanguard.
All arrangements for re-fueling
at four points between Brownsville
and Panama had been completed
before the order to postpone the
flight was received from the war
department, and Captain Eaker
stated that he would be ready for
the take-off as soon as permission
is granted.

Merchants Hall, Poul-
try And Farm Ex-
hibit Homes Lost,
Auto Show Burning

FORT WORTH, Tex, March II.
-(P)-Fire, believed to have started
from an explosion in the Merchants
Exhibit Hall, destroyed that build
ing, the Poultry Show building and
the Agricultural Exhibit building at
the Southwestern Exposition and at
stock show today.
G. F. Wilson, fireman, was in
jured by debris while fighting the
fire. Other firemen worked under
difficulties as the dense smoke
filled the buildings. Virtually all
the fire fighting equipment respond
ed to a general alarm.
More than 1000 high bred fowls
perished in the poultry building,
which was a total loss. Exhibits in
both Of the exhibit halls were lost,
Fine livestock in stables only a
few hundred yards from the scene
of the fire were moved to open
spaces when the fire started. Hose
was played on the coliseum and
other exposition buildings.
Despite the valiant efforts Of
firemen, flames spread to the auto
mobile building which houses more
than $50 automobiles. Firemen di-
rected many streams of water on
the building.
The fire will not affect the eX-
position, according to Van zandt
Jarvis, preident. He said the rodeo
and other scheduled events and at
fractions would be held as usual.
He pointed out that, while the loss
was large, only small part Of the
exposition was affected.
The blaze was noticed first by
Jarvis, when he saw flames burst
out in the decorations hanging
