It was while discussing the pro-

TO be offered by the air-rail system.
that Lindbergh made his comment
on the need for the as yet non-ex-
lstent four-engined airplane.
You know. Of course" he said.
that T. A. T. has a second and
faster schedule than the planned
forty -eight-hour run. That sched-
ule will require some night flying
with passengers. I don't think we

leave to the aeronautical engineers.
! have no definite ideas as TO the ar
rangement Of motors on such a ship.
Maybe they would be In tandem.
one behind the other. maybe they
would all be in M line"
Colonel Lindbergh expressed the
conviction that such a ship would
have distinct advantages in the
matter Of comfort over the present
three-engine planes. There would
be no motor in the nose Of the plane
to throw fumes directly back into
the passenger compartment. which
would be equipped with sleeping ac-
commodations and a kitchen for
the serving Of meals. In discussing

rumor regarding the equipment Of
the T "A. T. Line which was To the
effect that the executive committee
could not agree regarding the type
OF planes to be used. Colonel Lind

that of the ten contracted for most

william Hodge, who appears at the
Auditorium this evening. is q beques.
Of the stage that existed before the
period Of the silver tinsel. He has
come down from the days when the
spoken drama demanded born mas
ters Of mimic life and then developed
them into celebrities whose claim to
public renown was in their genius.
The stage stu was in the age Of mas
tcrful portrayal Of character roles.
when mellow comedy teamed with wit
and the color and action Of tragedy
conformed to q true appreciation OF
psychology. In other words, he Is an
inheritance Of the day before the
flapper type was added to the play
bill and the stage became flippant.
Hodge arrived in Bismarck Tues
day evening, coming from Billings on
tour from the coast eastward. He
goes from here to Fargo. It was. pos
sibly, his first visit to Bismarck. He
was booked here years ago. but his
recollection Is that . conflict of dates
forced him to cancel that tour and
Bismarck was one Of them.
william Hodge has become one of
the eldersof the American stage. With
George Arliss he shares the honors

Hodge recalled fund Of memories in

It was In the days Of the l0-20-30s.

ture to Hierarchy Leader
for Conference

Mexico City, May 8.-tF,-Prcsidcnt
Emilio Portcs Gil has opened a door
through which diplomatic negotia-
tions for settlement of his country's
church state strife may be ap-
preached.
In a signed statement published to-
day he said: If Archbishop Ruiz
(Monsignor Leopoldo Ruiz y Flores,
archbishop of Miclloacan and lead
or Of the Mexican Roman Catholic
hierarchy should desire to discuss
with me the way to bring about CO.
operation in the moral effort to bet
ter the Mexican people which he de-
sires. I shall have no objection to
talking with him on the subject"
Archbishop Ruiz recently gave out
a statement published in the United
States which said the church and
its ministers are ready to cooperate
to the fullest extent for the better
ment Of the Mexican people, It was
In answer to this President Portcs
Gil spoke
There was some speculation here
as to how broad spirit Of concilia-
ton the presidents statement might
point. Settlement Of the controversy
bewcen the church and the Mexican
government apparently has hinged,
since the rupture became open in
1926, on some modification Of ar
rangcment OF the national religious
laws which would permit the clergy
to exercise its offices without con-
flict with its own ecclesiastical con-
ceptions.
The specific point has been regis
tration of the priests which the gov
ernmcnt has required and the episco-
pate refused to allow. The episco-
pate authorized all priests in Mexico
to abandon their posts rather than
comply, the result being that since
1926 no services have been conducted
by priests in Catholic churches
throughout Mexico.
The significant thing. observers
thought was that an emissary Of the
church had approached the Mexican
government from some distance and
found a not too cold reception. The
door. it was believed. certainly was
open to further negotiation.
