Another brilliant page was writ

when the R-100. Great Britain'S
challenge to Gerfnany's pre-enli.
nence in lighter-thari-air naviga-
ton, successfully completed a
transatlantic flight from Carding-
ton, England. to the st. Hubert
Air Station near Montreal.
The R-100 was sighted from the
airport here at 1877 o'clock this
morning, Eastern Standard Time,
rs hours and 42 minutes after
she left Cardinf.ton.
Because it was dark at the
time, the worlds biggest dirigihle
did not moor to the powerful
million dollar mooring tower here
until 4::I ]. M. 10 hours and
So minutes after she departed
from Cardington.
Until the very last lap Of her
journey she was making splendid
time. Then she encountered dam
age to the fabric of her Stabiliz-
ing fin, and stormy weather con-
ditionS-a combination Of events
that forced her to greatly reduce
her speed.
Damaged Very Little
Damage to the fins fabric was
negligible, officers of the ship
said upon her arrival. Squadron
Leader r. s. Booth, commander
of the R-100 on the trip, said the
big dirigible "came through in
fine condition" e..
He characterized the voyage as
a good test flight" and he and
other officers interviewed indi-
Gated that in their opinion the
flight was a success in every re-
spect.
The R-1OO, now moored at st.
Hubert'S Airport, stands out
horizontally from the top Of the
mast, 200 feet above the ground
a big, proud-looking ship, the
suns rays glinting off her dull
gray sides.
The R-100 carried a persons
on the 3,364mile flight and in
spite of the many delays set an
east-west record. The previous
mark held by the Navy dirigible
Los Angeles, Friedrichshafen to
Lakehurst, was $3.50 covered in
81 hours. There were five Off

WASHINGTON, Aug. 6.--While

Department rushes ahead with its

The planes will be used as part

tons of new aircraft carriers to the
built under the London treaty
passed by the senate, and to cost
millions of dollars.
The Communist Party in its

funds proposed for these planes,
and other war material, be turned
over the unemployed workers i'm

ELECTRIC RATE "CUT"
Is PLAIN SWINDLING

NEW YORK.-Rapidly growing
resentment is plain on the part of
the thousands of users of small
quantities of electric current, the
families Of workers mostly, to the
swindling reduction" of price Of
fered by the Edison Co. here several
days ago.
The electricity monopoly issued a
declaration that rates were cut from
seven cents per kilowat to five
cents. That's fine. The big user
of electricity, the corporations
which very likely are owned by the
same people who own the Edison
Co. will save hundreds Of dollars.
But, with the reduction, goes an in
crease. A new service charge of
60 cents is levied, with fine impair
TALLY on the poor and the rich
alike. To the corporation saving
hundreds Of dollars, it is mere
triviality. But to the housewife,
saving only ten or twenty cents on
her electric bill, paying so cent
additional flat charge is plain in
crease. The pennies of the thou
sands are added to the profits of
the company, to more than make up
for the loss Of the dollars of the
few big users.
1t is estimated that former 65-
cent monthly bill will now become
bill of Sl.65 a month.

YOUNG BROUGHT
ESTELLE Smith
Underworld Character
Used Against Mooney

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Aug. 6.
One of the reasons for suddenly
extending the Mooney and Billings
hearing to include other witnesses
than Macdonald, for whom the
hearing was originally called and
who was at one time stated to be
the only witness, is now apparent.
Estelle Smith, the underworld
character employed as witness to
frame both Mooney and Billings,
discredited since it was discovered
that she was under the influence
Of morphine while on the stand. it
now is known, was summoned by
Governor Young, after a consider
able search was made for her. She
admits this, although the state
supreme court is always careful to
refer to her as a voluntary wit
ness"
The reason Young wanted her was
because she has now been persuaded
to repudiate in part her affidavit
signed in 1928, admitting that she
lied in her trial testimony. She was
also willing to make charges that
Robert Minor, at that time secre-
tary of the Mooney Billings defense
committee, threatened her through
the mails"
Estelle Smith, however, made a
bad witness, admitting many dam
aging things, such as that she was
under the influence of medicine
with morphine in it" while on the
witness stand, and that the suitcase
she said Billings had, was too light
to hold bomb of the sort that ex-
ploded at Market st. in 1915, etc,
She also showed evidence of hys-
