WASHINGTON, Sept. 27.-From a world of silent men that recog- nizes no peers, Harry F. Sinclair soon will gain a return ticket to a vast domain that needs the commanding voice of it's ruler.
 After ar enforced exile that be- gan May 6, Sinclair will return to rule his oil kingdom probably on October 6, when the doors of the Washington District Jail are ex- pected to swing open to the man who defied the United States Sen- ate and the countrys courts.
 Within it's uninviting portals, one of Americas greatest industrial giants has been subjected to the leveling influence of prison life where money and power are impo- tent.
 Undergoing with stoical good na- ture and an uniform reticence a humiliating experience such as has bcfallen few men of equal rank in the business world, Sinclair has written his name upon the records of the old institution as model prisoner"
 Those words tersely sum up the estimation of Sinclair's boss. That boss has been Maj. w. L. Peck, humanitarian ruler of the world in which the oil man has walked humbly since last May.

 He did go for automobile rides in assisting the jail physician but this was stopped when it became known and assertions that Sinclair was being given privileges" were made. Another man was assigned to make the outside trips.

FRENCH PLANE PLANNING HOP.
 BREAK RECORD
Coste with Companion n Takes Off for Russia for
 Long Distance Record

LEBOURGET, France, Sept. 27.- Eastward from Paris today streaked Dieudonne Coste and his bosom friend, Maurice Bellonte, in the famous sesquiplane Question Mark on long distance flight aimed to break the worlds record that will put the pilots down somewhere in Siberia.
 The real objective of the pair was not certain until after the start because some thought Coste was determined to fly the Atlantic Ocean to New York.
 The Question Mark was rolled out of the hangar at dawn, stripped of wireless and then heavily loaded with every gallon of fuel that could be stored aboard.
 The plane cleared the runway at 1000 yards, touched again at 1,200 yards before rising sluggishly to disappear in the direction of Sois- sons Rao.
 The last bit of freight taken aboard by Coste was fishing tackle which they could use to keep theh alive should they be forced down in the river districts of North Rus Sia.
 The immediate destination of the Question Mark is Irkutsk and from there the flier plans to hop to Tokyo.
 The plane can remain up 50 hours.

Governor Wins Reappoint- ment Despite Opposition
 Name Goes to Senate

Gov. George A. Parks was today nominated by President Hoover for re-appOintment as Governor of Alaska for a sec 0nd four-year term, according to an Associated Press dis patch received by The Elm pire from Washington. The Governors name was sent to the Senate this morning.
 His first term expired on June 15, last. His reappoint- ment has been expected al- most daily since Congress re- convened early this month.
 Endorsed by Lathrop
 Although some opposition devel- oped in certain factions in Alaska to his reappointment, he had the support of the Administrations friends and followers and was en- dorsed by National Committeeman, Capt. A. E. Lathrop. Opponents to the Governor apparently centered their support on w. H. Holmes, a former Alaskan and now residing in Armarilla, Texas.
 Af five pnnuhlinafl members of the Alaska Legislature last Spring, wrote a letter endorsing Holmes for the position, and the five Senators combined to pass a memorial attacking Gov Parks, ac- cusing him of political trickery ill his dealings with the Legislature. {, Holmes had some support among the National Committee but soon faded from the picture, leaving his Alaska supporters without any ac- tive candidate.

Ulysses s. Grant, Jr., devoted his life in a business way to the prac- tice of law and extensive dealings in real estate.
 He engaged in the latter activity in California, where he had resided since 1893, and at one time was the largest taxpayer in San Diego County
 His interest in politics was merely passive. He served as the presi- dents secretary during the last year and half of his fathers second term in the White House, after which he devoted his entire time to his law practice. From Califor- mia he was chosen delegate-at- large to the Republican National conventions of 1896 and 1900; and was a presidential elector- at large from that state in 1904 and 1908.
 At the close of the second Grant administration, the son, Ulysses, established himself in New York, where he maintained a law office for IT years. In 1893 his first wife's health became impaired, ne- cessitating a change in climate, and the family removed to San Diego, Calf.
 On Pacific Coast
 On the Pacific Coast, MT Grant continued his law practice, inter- ested himself in civic affairs and engaged in real estate activities, which eventually became extensive. He constructed the U. s. Grant Ho- tel, the first large reinforced con- crete building in San Diego. He maintained his home at the hotel.
 The second son of the president and commander of the Union forces in the Civil War, Ulysses Simpson Grant, Jr., was born at Bethel, Ohio, July g, 1852. At the time his father, then a lieutenant in the army, was with the Fourth Regi- ment on march across the Isth- mus of Panama. The regiment, which sailed from New York was enroute to California, where the influx of gold seekers made it ad- visable to have troops present. Mrs. Grant was anxious to accompany her husband on the trip. but was persuaded to remain behind. She lived for time at the home of her -in-law, where Ulysses was born.
