MELBOURNE, Australia, December
loving Comdr. Charles Kingsford-
Smith, TRANSATLANTIC and transpacific
aviator. was married today to Miss
Mary Powell, pretty Irish Australian
girl in the Scots Church here.
Only immediate friends of the happy
couple witnessed the ceremony, but
outside the church 10000 people waited
to catch glimpse Of the bride and
groom. A number of air force officers
were present and formed an arch OF
honor at the doorway under which the
couple passed as they left the church
The bride was attired in white and
| silver with long tulle veil. She was
attended by four bridesmaids. Her hus-
band wore his Air Force uniform and
was accompanied by his friend and
companion Of his tranSpacif1c flight
G. T. P. Ulm
The wedding climaxed a romance
which had its beginning in 1927 after
the aviator's transpaciic flight when
travelling to Australia by liner from
Vancouver, he met the golden haired
Irish girl aboard and fell in love with
her.
Shortly before his take-off this year
for New York from Ireland in the
southern Cross he announced their en-
gagement and said that for her sake
when he had completed his transat-
lantic fight he would give up all long,
distance flying and settle down to the
comparative obscurtty and safety of q
mail and passenger airline promoter
and pilot.
Kingsforth-Smith has flown both the
Pacific and Atlantic oceans, is the only
pilot TO have accomplished both featS
Is one Of two pilots TO have completed
westward flight across the Atlantic to
New York, and holds the record for a
flight between England and Australia.

taxes are reaSonable?"
If you eliminate any part of the
holdings of the Federal Government, F."
responded Mr.. Murphy. the comparison
ceases 10 be comparable because you've
taken away what would come from an
industry in the other cities"
III you believe the tax burden in
Washington should be approximately
the same as that in the IA cities, what
difference does it make about the Fed
eral property" inquired Chairman
Mapes. You're an advocate of the
policy Of treating the Federal Govern
ment the same as the private property

Many Are Present.
Yes as far as real and personal
property Is concerned" replied Mr..
Murphy. Il am in favor of including
the Federal holdings for the purpose of
arriving at the tax burden for COM

GREEN LAUDS WALSH.

William Green. president OF the
American Federation of Labor. issued a
statement yesterday praising the Walsh
Dill Tor a flve-day week for Federal en-
ployeS. Green also took occasion to
protest against clause in the Post Of
nee bill, now pending in the
Senate, which would prevent salary In
creases in those departments.
The clause was written into the meas
ure by the House Appropriations Com
m1ttee and defended before the House
by Chairman Wood on the ground that
President Hoover, in his business con-
terences early this year, had asked that
no wage increases or decreases be de-
manded during the depression.
President Green criticized Woods
statement, asserting that salary In
creases for the Government employees
had been made mandatory by Congress
in previous legislation and that ap-
proval of the clause by the House "is a
reputation of the understanding reach
ed in the Presidents conferences"
Contending that Congress is honor
bound to see that laws enacted shall be
honestly carried out" he urged the
Senate to replace the clause with one
that would provide for the salary in
creaSeS already authorized.

ROCKVILLE, Nd, December TO-
Acting on petition of States Attorney
J. Frank Parran of Prince Georges
County, who offered an afidavit that
he did not believe fair and impartial
trials could be had in this county,
Chief Judge Hammond Urner and As
sociate Judge Robert B. Peter passed
an order in the Circuit Court here this

trials Of the Brady brothers, Lawrence
Leroy and Herman of Prince Georges

County for trial.

The records will, accordingly, be pre-
pared at once and forwarded to the
clerk Of the Circuit Court at Annapolis,
who will docket the cases at the term
OF court now in session there. While
the selection of the date is entirely
within the discretion of the Annapolis
judges, 1t Is believed. in view of the
fact that court is now in session there
that the defendants will be placed on
trial at a very early date, probably
Parran explained to Judges UrneI
and Peter that the cases had been sc
thoroughly discussed in all parts of the
county that 1t would be difflcult to OBJ
tain an impartial jury in Montgomery
County.
Both Attorney Frank Hall of counse
for the defense and States Attorney
Parran informed the court that as An
napolis would be more convenient Il
majority Of the large number Of wit
nesseS, they would prefer that they bt
sent to that Jurisdiction.

boro Jail Immediately after the hearing
this morning.
Transfer of the trials to Annapolis
was the second change of venue granted

dicted in Prince Georges County, but

such an appeal.

ed, II signs are permitted to be placed

 Halibut Takes Trolling Spoon
Hyder weekly herald., 1930-09-13

Capt. L. A. Crane of the troll CT Progress recently had the novel experience of catching a 100-pound halibut on a trolling line. Halibut is seldom caught on a trolling hook and the task of landing a 100-pound fish is a difficult job in itself. The troller was fishing with a spoon hook, which caught kelp cod and the halibut grabbed the cod and was hooked.

AUTOS AND PROSPERITY

If automobile ownership is q gauge of prosperity, as some obscrv- CTS would have it. the city is more prosperous today than it was last year. Or, to put it in other words. It was more prosperous during the time the assessors compiled their lists Of automobiles than at the time they compiled the list of last year.
 There today are 1o,55S motor re- hicles in ,he city. The 1929 grand list showed o,76S. This is a difference of 79o-quite substantial increase for one year.
 One inevitably comes to the con- cIusion that automobile ownership is not an exact gauge Of prosperity. The reason for this probably is the ability Of the populace to purchase such contraptions on the installment plan.
 By the way, the increase i'll auto mobiles during the year shows q greater percentage increase than anything on the grand list, the per centagc being approximately 8 per cent increase.
 In spite Of everything we must ride on tires.

NOBODY EVER BELIEVED IT

The charges linking President Hoover with the sugar lobby never received much consideration by the majority of citizens. We say this without having made a referendum. What suggests the belief is that, re- gardless of politics. Americans have confidence in the integrity of their high respect requires considerably presidents. To upset tile existing more than half-baked charges and assumptions made by lobbyists and others.
 There are many mistakes made in politics; but the political parties have not yet descended to such in- ! competence as to nominate anyone but a citizen Of the highest integrity 1 honesty and sincerity for the high honor of being President of the
 United States. It is impossible for most Americans to conceive that | their President would be identified 1 improperly with a sugar lobby. Ab- 1 solving Mr. Hoover of all connection
 with such d thing was as anticipated. i In fact, it is doubtful whether one
 person out of a thousand ever took
 the erstwhile assumption seriously.
