THE, INCREASING AIR TRAVEL

Prancing around the country III an airplanc, Captain .- Frank M Hawks, holder of transcontinenta! air speed records, has been gong from one city to another at speeds of nearly 300 miles an hour. one hour he is here and the next he IS elsewhere. He flew from Philadel- phia to New York in 20 minutes.

of the importance of filling sta- tions over, residences. The assump- tion then comes that no residence on a site which could be used for a filling station to advantage will be allowed to stand in the way of the station if the oil companies obtain official sanction 10 go ahead with their aims.
 What an industry this is too. AL ready some blocks in the city have three or four filling stations and there seems to be room for more at least, those in the industry are of that opinion. What surprised residenters and neighbors think about it IS another story. They have been opposing them for long time. but every year sees more filling sta tions despite the opposition.

tain title to shale oil land in west ern Colorado estimated to be worth $2o,000, 100000, has stirred up quite a sensational mess and various gov ernment departments are said to be quite aroused over it.
 The Department of Justice and Secretary Wilbur of the Department of the Interior want to "investi- gate" MT. Kelley frowns upon such investigations" however, remind ing the people that had government departments investigated the oil scandals during the Harding ad- ministration nothing much would have come of the inquiry.
 What MT. Kelley wants, and what he evidently will obtain, is a Sen- atorial investigation. Senator Wag- ner has already indicated desire lO pltotlll d lSSOlutloll Ol lilF collSd- ton, and friends say he has blood in his eyes. He has been reading the exposures ln the World keenly and is alert to scent major scan- dal needing senatorial probing. Sen- ator Nye, also quite ferret in wrongdoing-ind all the Demo- crats and Insurgents in the Senate are standing on their ears with anticipation.
 Meanwhile the Hoover admin istration has attempted to deprecate the extent of the charges. "They don't amount to much" is the ad- ministration verdict.
 Which was the attitude of the Harding administration in days of yore when a few individuals and senators scented the former oil scandals.
 MT. Kelley has given enough facts figures and dates upon which to base a first-rate senatorial in- vestigation.

MIR, LEVITT AND MIR. AVERILL

Professor Albert Levitt, having won a second victory against Depu- aty Attorney General Ernest L. Av- erill regarding the Public Utilities Commission, seemed to have put the Attorney Generals office in SO- foot hole.
 But MT. Averill today has begun an attempt to crawl out of it by til ing notice of intent to appeal along technical lines described at length in today's news columns.
 Professor Levitt called on Mir. Averill the other day and asked him please to indicate what he was Go- ing to do about the order of the Superior court and the Supreme court that he must proceed with an buster action against the Public Utilities Commission. At that time MT. Averill with a poker face, re- luStu u SlNS dli llihllllS VI iilHo liN-Nh move. Now he has done so and there will at least be a little more Sdelay before anything definite hap pens.
 It occurs to the average listener vin that MT. Averill has no choice ill the matter but to obey the dictates of the courts, otherwise he would face contempt of court charges or perhaps even be subject to man. damus proceedings or custer action against himself. But Mr. Averill has formed another angle of the case which in his estimation needs eluci- dation, and there we are-about where we were at the beginning.
 From the beginning the state or ganization, through the Attorney Generals office, has fought valiant ly to protect it's child, the P. |. C. The utilities regulatory body is pet of the state organization. Prof. Levitt hooked it for not carrying out the plain mandate of the law and all the kings men were unable to stem the tide with their broom stick. Now there are to be more technical considerations; and late! there may be others. Verify, there is no end to them.
 The truth is that Prof. Levitt has thrown a wholesome fear into the state capitol and he is considered the worst nuisance that ever arrived on the premises. The fact that he proceeds circumspectly, making sure he has 100 per cent of the law on his side, makes the situation just that much more onerous. Mr. Higgins in particular. must be il! at ease. The story from Mir. Levitt is that once when he called at the r. U. C. office as a private citizen the question was asked, what cor poration does he represent" and when he said he represented no corporation but was only a citizen he got the icicle welcome, 10 put 1t rather mildly. From that time on Mir. Levitt began to proceed. Per haps Mir. Higgins has regretted many a time since then that the incident which started the rumpus had ever occurred.

Wednesday due to accumulation Of work. It was understood today m effort would be made to produce the groundwork of agreement on prohibition before adjournment. There would remain an opportunity efor one more meeting late III November or early December before rendering the report.
 To Report in December Chairman Wickersham says ha hopes to hand the commissions pro- hibition findings to Mr. Hoover ear- | ly in December. Commissioners de- nied there was any movement, in- surgent or otherwise, for a prohibi- tion report before then.
 Judge William S. Kenyon, of Iowa and Judge Kenneth Macintosh ot Washington, were reported to be leading a movement for an immedi- ate report.
 There's nothing to it." Mackin- tosh said when questioned at the commission headquarters.
 After briefly lifting the veil from the commissions activities after tho initial meeting Wednesday, Chalr- man Wickersham has resumed his policy of silence. Members follow ed Wickersham's example. The importance attached to tha concluding hours of the current meeting was indicated when Newton D. Baker who was compelled to leave last night for his Cleveland. O., home, arranged to return for tba Wednesday meeting here. The pro- cess of developing common ground upon which the commissioners may meet on prohibition is proving diffi- cult.
 Schedule To Be Followed
 Having expressed the hope that a report could be rendered in Decem- Der, Chairman Wickersham was con- sidered to have set an objective for the commission which must be att tained on schedule to prevent wide- spread acceptance of rumors that we'll nigh irreconcilable differences exist within it's ranks.
 Eight hours of discussion WedL nesday were followed on the seconi day by six and as long meeting was planned for today
