 Irkutsk, Siberia, July 14-(UP) The daring trans continental flight of the French monoplane Hyphen from Paris was at an end to-day, the three flyers having leaped in parachutes to safety when their plane was forced down about 300 miles west of Irkutsk during the night.
 The flyers, Joseph LeBrix, Mar eel Doret and Mechanic Mesiniu were reported safe at Schiborga station on the trans-Siberian rail- way. One of the aviators was re- ported injured in the leap as the plane shot to earth near Nijneu- dinsk, nearly two-thirds of the way to Tokfo, Japan, their nonstop goal.
 The airplane which they desert ed in their forced leaps was not found. Search parties went in quest of the machine.
 The flyers were expected to pro- ceed to Moscow. They asked to go by airplane and aviation authori- ties were understood to be inclined to lend them every facility.
 The end of the flight came sud- denly after hazardous flying over Europe and the desolate, sparsely populated stretches of western Siberia. LeBrix and Doret were following the route taken by Har- old Gatty and Wiley Post, world flyers who recently spanned the Asiatic continent in the Winnie Mae without serious mishap.

 as Candidate
tcontinued from Page 1.)

Bakers current importance in presidential speculation comes partly from the course of events in Europe, which his friends be- lieve uphoids his contention that 1t is impossible for Amreica to re- main out of Europe. Here Is what he says on war debts:
 Every country in the world has had the experience of a vast and hopeless debtor class and has real ized that every so often 1t is neces sary to wipe off the slate and start afresh as in scriptural year of l jubilee. This releases the energies of men, restores hopes, cures poli- tical disorder and gives life a fresh start. The analogy applies per- fectiy to the present international situation.
 The United States needs not dol ars but confident. prosperous and peaceful world as 8 field for its industrial and commercial opera tions. That condition can not be brought about so long as we con- tinue to exact payments up to the capacity of the debtors to pay" Baker said that, not last week, but in August, 1926, five years ago. Small of stature, studious, inter- ested in literature and other re- finements of life not usually asso- ciated with the grosser trade of politics, Baker never has been "one of the boys" He more re- sembles Woodrow Wilson in his de- tached leadership, his remote con- trol" over political currents in his party.
 Yet two political addresses in the last 35 years live in political chronicles: Bryan's Cross of Gold Grafton at the 1896 convention and Bakers appeal to the democrats in the 1924 convention not to desert brought the first tears ever shed in the press box of national con- vention.
 His public service record in- cludes:
 Assistant city solicitor of Cleve- land;
 Mayor of Clevela d at the climax of the reform era of the famous Tom Johnson;
 Secretary of war, 1916-1921;
 Member Hoover Wickersham commission.
 Otherwise he has practiced law profltably in Cleveland. He has been regarded as progressive and favorable to many proposals for social legislation.
 In g. separate statement accom- panying the Wickersham commis- sion's prohibition report, Baker said the 18th amendment should be repealed and the entire question remitted to the states. He de-
