LINDBERCHS OFF
ON FIRST LEG OF
TRIP TO ORIENT
Lone Eagle And Wife
Leave Capital EnrOute
To Morrow Home.

WhOdlN6lON, July 2o-tU,P)-
A perspiration soaked young mar
and his sun scorched wife starteo
today for vacation flight to Asia
Colonel and Mrs. Charles A. Lind.
bergh flew away from naval all
station at 2:2l p. m. EST.
Clad in a riding habit better suit
ed to cool bride paths than the
muggy, riverside atmosphere oi
Washington, Mrs. Lindbergh sat foi
more than two hours in the open
cockpit of their Lockheed Sirius
speedster while Colonel Lindbergh
tested equipment.
WASHINGTON, July 28. U.P) -
Charles A. Lindbergh made last
preparations today for the flight on
which he and his wife will pioneer
a northward passage from the At
lantic Seaboard to the Orient.
The Lindberghs flew here yes
tcrday. fully equipped for the 1000
mile flight. They expected to start
on the second leg of the trip this
afternoon or tomorrow. Their route
lies through northern Canada, Alas
ka, eastern Siberia and thence to
Japan and China. 1t traverses some
of the widest and least inhabited
parts of the earth.
The Lindberghs plan to fly di-
rect from here to North Haven, Me,
summer home of Senator Dwight
Morrow, Mrs. Lindbergh's father If
the start is late, they will stop in
New York. In either case. the next
overnight stop will be at Ottawa
Canada.
Lindbergh's chief concern today
was to obtain the papers he must
have for landings in Canada, Sibe-
ria, Japan and China. He expected
to complete these arrangements at
the state department. He also
needed a japanese visa.
While the flyer was scurrying
around town to collect these docu-
ments, his monoplane was tied up
in the Potomac river near the naval
air station.
Engineers gave the instruments a
final inspection. Lindbergh said the
equipment was in good condition,
but he desired that some of the
special instruments and the radio
transmitter be tested once more.
Much Equipment
The plane was fully loaded with
all paraphernalia for the "vaca-
tion," including flight charts, leath-
er flying coats. blankets and tent
complete camping supplies, emer-
gency food rations, pistols and a
collapsible rubber lifeboat.
The Lindberghs were the guests
of Acting Secretary of State Castle.
State department specialists on
the Lindberghs much about the
countries they will visit were among
Far Eastern affairs who could tell
the guests at dinner Castle gave.
Lindbergh said he exjected to fly
most of the time at about los miles
an hour, the most economical speed
for the Lockheed plane. Prepara-
tions for refueling have been made
at each scheduled overnight stop.
From Ottawa the great circle
course charted by Lindbergh lies
touching Moose
Factory, Churchill. Baker Lake
Aksvik. Point Barrow and Nome.
From Nome, the course backtracks
that of Post and Gatty, round-the-
world flyers, to Siberia. Then the
will follow the Kurile
Islands to Japan, later going to
China.
Lindbergh said he might fly back
from China but had not decided on
a route.

RAGGED BANDITS
ADMIT STAGING
! OTHER CRIMES
Confess They Terrorized
Valley Highways Early
This Year.

While Earl Bonner, 18. and Guy
Adams, II, we're awaiting arraign-
ment in Brawley this afternoon or
charges of highway robbery Ray
mond Robertson, 26, is in the coun-
ty Jail under suspicion of contrib
uting to the delinquency of minor
in discussing with the boys their
alleged crimes during the past year
| Robertson was arrested in Braw-
| ley yesterday after the boys told Of
| ficerS they lived at his house while
following their lawleSs course or
valley highways, and discussed with
him details of the "jobs" they un-
| dertook.
The man may be charged with
contributing to the delinquency oi
q minor, According to Harold Gill
lett and Fred Elliott, deputy sher-
ifs who were largely responsible fol
the arrest of tie two boys, Robert
ISon is known to officers as for
mer bootlegger, gambler and SNUG
gler of aliens. He has been jailed
twice on charges of wife beating
they said.
According to a statement made by
Bonner, also known as "Toughy'
Baker, while under questioning in
Brawley, Robertson once discussed
with the boys robbing of a bank ir
Brawley. The project was given ur
as practically impossible.
IN, ri
Tom Sharp, special investigator fol-
the district attorney, Robertson once
planned to accompany the youths
on beer garden holdup. This was
| called off when Jack Geeseman was
shot at the Blackie Bell place neal
Brawley.
Robertson, questioned by Sharp
| admitted discussing holdups with
the boys but asserted he thought
| they were merely Dragging.
Proofs Given
In addition to IL recent holdup'
and theft of seven automobiles
Bonner and Adams yesterday ad.
mitted to officers other holdups las
winter. They we're the youths il
a green car who terrorized valley
highways for several weeks, they
| confessed
| Officers at first were inclined tt
doubt this, putting the confession
down to youthful braggadocio, bu
| details told by the boys convinced
| officers they were telling the truth
A queer coincidence is seen in tn
story told by the boys, and thei
arrest by Harold Gillett and Free
Elliott. The Gillett family figured
prominently in the story of las
winters holdups, told by Bonner il
Brawley.
1t was Bonner and Adams, they
admitted, who held up Paul Gil.
lett last winter on Eighth street just
south of Ell Centre. Later they at
tempted to hold up C. l.. Gillett
Paul'S father and former sheriff
but became frightened when Gillett
reached for his gun, and raced away
in their car. Gillett gave chase
but could not catch them, and did
not want to shoot because of the
boys youth.
The coincidence is seen in the
fact the boys were arrested by Har-
old Gillett, another son of the for
mer sheriff, and Fred Elliott, dep
uty sheriff, who also served under
G. L. Gillett.
Bonner and Adams were to be
arraigned before Judge H. B. Grif-
fin in Brawley this afternoon. II
is possible a charge of contributing
to the delinquency of minor will
be filed against Robertson at the
same time.

 Pa otac- sena', Bdi5
 In addition to Lomens wage scale measure, the House passed several other Senate bills, includ- ing: to appropriate $1000 for im- proving the grounds at Governors Mansion; continuation cf the Pros psctors Aid Act; requiring certain residential qualifications of agents of foreign corporations
 Dimonds bill to repeal the Ter itorial acts relative to placer min ing and annual labor thereon was passed by a vote of IA to 2. A measure by the same author to repeal the so-called Wick ersham Placer Mining Act on the same subject, passed l2 to 4. The latter is imperative until validated by Congressional enactment.
 By a vote of 12 to 4, the House passed the Senate bill appropriat- ing $5,000 for aid to the all-Alaska Chamber of Commerce.
 Two Are Defeated
 A measure to appropriate S5,000 for cooperation of predatory ani- nal control with the Federal Gov ernment was beaten 2 to 9. The Nome radio telephone subsidy, car lying s7,O00 appro priation and $5 eco allotted funds from the Di- viaicns road fund, was lost on a tie vote. Later in the afternoon MT Johnston, Fairbanks, gave mo- tice he would move today to re- consider the vote tomorrow.
 In all the House tabled eight bills, six for new school buildings a five-cent rebate on canned sal mon and the general eight-hour bill. Chairman Foster, Ways and Means, said the school buildings would be at least partially covered by lump sum appropriation to Le given in the general approprla ticls measure to the Commission CT Of Education. Authority for it's expenditure by him is provided in a new bill that MT Foster intro duced just prior to adjournment yesterday.
 Second Is Missing
 The effort to turn the eight hour measure into a referendum was made by MT. ziegler After all proposed amendments to the bill had been withdrawn, he moved that a new section be added pro- viding that if passed the act would not become effective unless ap- proved by majority of voters in the next general Territorial cleo ton.
 The House was so taken by surprise, that it was shocked into utter silence that lasted at least a minute < two. Then MT. John ston, Fairbanks, asked Speaker Vim for a three minute recess.
 Make it five" he responded with grin, and we'll all make some medicine" At the end of the recess still no second was forth coming to the Ziegler motion, which was then declared lost.
 MT. Hellerich then moved that the bill be tabled and MT. Allyn seconded it. The vote was one sided 1n for and 6 against 1t.
