BLAINE TO HOLD
HEARINGS ON
MEASURES

All parties having an interest
IN the blue sky" mortgage fore
Closure, and real estate business
bills introduced in the Senate yes
terday will be given an. opportu-
nifty to be heard in regard to the
measures.
Senator John j. Blaine (R.) Of
Wisconsin, chairman of the sub
committee on insurance and banks
Icf the Senate District Committee,
announced today that his sub
committee is preparing to hold
pubic hearings on the three i'm
portant bills as soon as possible.
Bills Are Tentative
The bills were introduced by
Senator Blaine and are the out
growth of the demand voiced
some m o n his ago by Senator
Smith w. Brookhart (R.) of Iowa,
Tor an investigation into the whole
\ Held Of real estate financing in
2the District.
Senator Blaine said today that
MS committee is not committed
TO support of the measures as pre-
sented. He emphasized that the
Oils are merely tentative and that
they may be altered in important
particulars before being pressed
Tor action on the floor Of the
Senate.
Business interests affected by
the measures will be given ample
opportunity to present their views
kto the subcommittee, according to
Blaine. He pointed out that the
Supcommittee has spent som
months in the preliminary investi-
CATION which led to the introduc-
tlon OF the tente i've measures.
Protect Borrowers
The bills governing issuance
. and sale Of securities and licens.
Ing and controlling of real estate
brokers and statesmen, according
to Blaine, are patterned after the
codes drawn up by the national
{ commission on uniformity in
State laws. They have been
altered so as to make them con-
form to the peculiar conditions
existing in Washington.
The mortgage, foreclosure bill,
Blaine points out, is really the
first attempt to set up by code
q foreclosure proceeding here. He
regards the present bill as step
forward in protecting the rights
Of q man who has mortgaged mis-
property,
The1e is little hope, in Senator
Blafne'S opinion, of getting
artdlnd to public hearings on the
bpB until after the Senate has
dl spoSed Of the tariff bill.

DUBLIN, June 16.-Capt Charles
Kingsford- Smith. the Australian avi-
ator, who for more than a week has
been awaiting favorable weather for a
transatlantic flight to the United
States, has become dissatisfied with the
runway at Curragh Camp and yester-
day examined another one at Silver
strand, Fort Marnock, about seven miles
from Dublin.
The Curragh runway is nearly two
miles long. hence is considered valu-
able for the take-ofT of a heavily
loaded transatlantic plane, but Capt.
Kingsford- Smith tested Silverstrand in
a motor car yesterday and found it
would give him a mile and one-half
longer runway.
This would enable him to take so
more gallons of gasoline and enhance
the prospect of success If he were de-
layed over the ocean by adverse winds

sinking the new tube have been made,
including the building of railway
track IA miles long over the water.
The laboratory where Prof. Claude
has been conducting his experiments
covers nearly an acre. At the rear Of
the main building he had constructed
enormous naves, where the mechanical
work is being done. He declared the
project when completed will comprise
the largest power plant In existence.
Recently he submitted a paper on
his experiments to the Academy of
Science at Paris and was assured his
plan was practical. A survey of the
project was made Saturday by two en-
gineers Of the Cuban department Of
public works, who expressed themselves
as elated over its possibilities.
