PARIS, Jan. 8.-Paris to Peking in 30 hours and the solution of the ever increasing problem of city traffic are two of the results promised by the light airplane troll ley" an invention which Joseph Archer, a French engineer, intends to demonstrate in Paris within a few months.
 Traffic in the air will decrease and relieve traffic in the streets, 9 M. Archer says Instead of en- tering cur houses through the street doors we will enter them from the roofs"
 The invention is based upon the following principles:
 The vehicle, monoplane body. moves upon suspended monorail or wire.
 The motive power is a propeller worked by Is h.p. electrical mo- tor which obtains it's current from the monorail or trolley wire. The weight of the machine is cushioned upon the air by finlike wings just as is an airplane, and does not bear down upon the supporting power wire.
 The planes body is stream lined to reduce air resistance, giving a speed of 150 miles an hour.
 The vehicle weighs 220 pounds with two passenger capacity. A four-seater will weigh $50 pounds.
 An automatic block system op- erating every 5000 yards provides security and dispenses with the services of driver or conductor. Passengers simply push a button and the conveyance works, so the inventor says, like an automatic ele- vator
 The monorail or wire providing the electrical current will be placed upon cement pillars posted every 200 or 300 yards according to the nature of the country traversed.
 Electrical devices, reversing the current and the propeller will stop the plane inside of 100 yards, but an aero-dynamic brake in the shape of an umbrella placed at the rear Of the monoplane body and auto matically opening when the current is shut off, will assist in bringing the suspended car to a quick halt.
 The installation and flying stock cost is reekoned by the inventor at about one-thirtieth of that of a railroad
 M Archer already envisages the application of his invention for travel over the ocean, Paris to New York in l6 hours. But inasmuch as the uprights would require an- choring on some 10000 heavy buoys or floating islands, he has decided to await the result of his experi- ences on land before embarking on sea venture

Oh" He gave her level, un- smiling glance. What I actually meant was-the mountains won't let real people do sordid, unworthy things"
 T see" She turned away her eyes. There was another silence.
 You dance divinely-there is no other word" Glenn complimented
 She laughed. T ought to-" she assented, I've consumed a consid erable portion of my life learning how"
 T think it hasn't been so badly speht--"
 She made a little humorously deprecating movement. A moment later, she closed her eyes and gave herself up entirely to the pulsing rhythm of the dance, to the wild, cyerpowering sweetness and allure ment of the untutored music. She floated on and on. barely touching earth, oblivious of everything but the unequivocal force that bore her up as if on strong, sure wings, that guided her unerringly, that swept her on-Certainly never had there been such a waltz.
 She had no clear idea how much later it was that the floor beneath l them seemed to rock and lurch. A terrific crash like far-off thunder split the air-then shivering glass darkness, rushing feet. screams, the jagged echoes of chords lowering i unfinished in the air-Panic haG taken possession.
 When Anne opened her eyes everything was in total darkness. A wild scramble towards the doors flung her violently against hei companion. He set his back to the seething, panic-stricken mass oi humanity, and thrust her quickly Ibetwf l him and the nearest wall Copyright, Ruth Cross)

 Anne was still smiling. He al lowed himself to be lowed away by some. burly giant, who must have been descended in a direct line from primeval mastodon or some thing of the kind"
 He gave her quick look. You mean-Burkhalter?'
 She shrugged charmingly. T have no idea--is that the creatures iiame?"
 Probably" He spoke more to himself that to her. For a moment or two, he. seemed almost to forget her presence entirely as he thought of the man who only yesterday had called on him as head of a citi- Sen's committee to protest against the irrigation project. Presently, however. he reused from his ab- straction. May I-?p He looked down suggestively at the unoccupied half of the rustic bench.

THIRD YACHT CUP
RACE ISPOSTPONED
BY PEA SOUP FOG
Mist Blankets Course, CauS-
ing Two Unidentified
Boats to Collide.

By the Associated Press.
u. 8. s. KANE, Newport Harbor,
September 16.-The third race of the
series for the Americas Cup, sched-
uled for today, was called OF at 1925
am.
A pea soup fog, which had given
signs of lifting, settled down again
shortly after 10 O'Clock and the COM
mittee decided that a race today was
impossible.
At 1920 the committee ordered all
boats already at the starting line to
return to port and six minutes later
the postponement signal was hoisted.
Neither the Enterprise, American de-
fender, nor the Shamrock v had left
port.
Yachts Collide in HarbOr.
The fog made navigation difficult,
two large yachts indemnity Of which was
not learned, collided in the harbor, but
with little apparent damage to either.
Only faint southwesterly breeze was
blowing, hardly sufficient for racing
and much too light to drive away the
fog.
The light breeze hardly would have
carried the two big racing sloops around
the 3o-mile course in the f1ve-and-a
half-hour time limit, under which the
race must be completed to be official.
The third race will be sailed tomor-
row, weather permitting.
Hundreds See Boats Hit.
Today's respite may make it unnec-
essary for the Shamrock to ask a post
ponement of the fourth race, which
had been considered If today's race had
been sailed and the Enterprise again
had won.
So far as could be seen through the
fog neither of the large yachts which
collided was damaged to any extent.
They came together in full view Of
hundreds aboard the spectator fleet APP
parently because of mistaken signals.
Both apparently were bound out for
the starting line when the mishap
occurred.
It was believed the collision fastened
the decision of the committee to call of
the race.
Observers were skeptical that there

BRUENING CABINET
REACHES DECISION
TO STAY IN OFFICE
Sees Party Leaders in Effort
to Obtain Workable Ma
iority for Government.

BY the Associated Press.
BERLIN, September 16.-The cabinet
of Chancellor Bruening today decided
unanimously to remain in office.
Chancellor Bruening Cancelled his
schedule Of out-of-town visits and began
what was taken by his immediate asso-
ciates as a strenuous campaign of nego-
tiations with party leaders toward OBJ
tanning a workable majority for the
government.
DR.. Bruening has received definite
pledges of support from President Hin
denburg and considerable number OF
influential politicians, and the impress
sion was gained by observers today that
his position would be strong.
President Won Hindenberg, his civic
duty at the polls accomplished, made
use of his military prerogative as COM
mander in chief today and departed for
Franconia, where the annual army
maneuvers are being held. He will re-
main there until Friday.
Reichstag Meeting Called.
President Loebe of the Reichstag,
after a conference with Chancellor
Bruening, issued call for the first
meeting of the new Reichstag Oc-
tober 13.
The cabinet met today and its men,
bers expressed the resolve to continue
constructive policies for relief of the
economic, financial and social problems
Of Germany. Bills will be prepared for
presentation to the Reichstag 10 that
end.
President Won Hindenburg, while fully
recognizing the mandate Of the people
in Sundays Reichstag elections, will, it
is said, acquiesce in no efforts at sabot-
age of parliamentary government by
Adolf Hitler's Fascists, who amazingly
increased their representation in the
German legislative body from IL to lot
In the Nationwide polling.
The chancellor faced today what
political observers felt was a most diffi-
cult, well-night impossible task. His
own Centrist group gained 8 seats in
the Sunday balloting giving it a
representation of So, but his life as
chancellor seemed to depend upon the
attitude the Social Democrats, whose
representation is LAB in the new body,
take toward him.
FaScists Want Voice in Cabinet.
Prior to dissolution of the Reichstag
the Social Democrats consistently voted
against the government on matters of
Importance, particularly economic and
financial reform bills. To secure their
collaboration the chancellor probably
will have to make concessions which
win cost him other elements of his sup
port, and keep his cabinet near the
precarious bare majority mark in the
chamber.
Hitler'S Fascists are demanding a
voice in the cabinet, realizing full well
that their program is such they can
work with hardly any other group in
the body. But they are also well aware
that with rs Communist votes and q
Nationalist and probably Economic
party group also included in a certain
opposition to whatever government may
| be formed they will be formidable
enough to do many things.
The new membership of the Reichstae
has been set definitely at 576.

JURY Baked IN MURDER CASE
AS WITNESSES ARE PRINCIPAL
U. S. Attorneys Office Unable to Secure Indictment
Against Slayer Because of Complication.

Testimony at the inquest showed
that Richardson, Eddie Tolson, SIG L
street: Sylvester Lincoln, 628 L street,
and Thomas Washington, GIL L street,
had taken part in a gambling game
The gamblers were raided by police
and later accused Smith of having
"squealed" on them. A fight ensued
and Smith was fatally injured.
After hearing the case, the coroner's
jury held all four of the men as
principals for grand jury action. The
grand jury, however cannot proceed
against them because a principal to a
crime cannot be compelled to testify
against himself and there were no
ether witnesses to the crime.
