 Then the Bellanca shot into the air. A steady stream of gasoline streaming from it's tanks.
 After circling the field few moments, Pangborn came back to field No. l from which the flyers first started. and made safe land- ing.
 Herndon's mother, Mrs Dixon Boardman of 830 Park avenue, New York, and his fance. Miss Mary Allen Farley, Albany, and his father witnessed the failure of the takeoff.
 Mrs Boardman and Miss Farley were in another plane which was to have escorted Pangborn and Herndon as far as Montauk Point.
 q don't know if we'll make an other attempt to-day or not" Pangborn said as he stepped from the plane, badly shaken.
 Then Mrs Boardman rushed to the plane and congratulated him on his handling of the plane in the emergency.
 Captain J. Nelson Kelly, man. ager of the field, then congratu- lated Pangborn who told him:
 wen try itagain either from here or from Barren Island this afternoon or tonight. This wealth CT is too good to miss"
 There was not a cloud in the sky when the flyers made their at- tempt this morning, and there was little more than a light breeze blowing.

Police Court
 Judge Indignant
(Continued from Page 1:)

It developed that of the seven men arrested in the clean-up only three obeyed the summons to be present in court to-day. Conse- ouently 1t was necessary for the court to continue the cases involv- ing keeping gambling machines until tomorrow morning and the case of James Corrigan of Bank street, charged with violation of the liquor law, until next Wednes- day morning.
 A plea of guilty was entered this morning in the case of Daniel Walsh, A, of 39 Abbott avenue charged with keeping a gambling establishment and with writing policy. It was his second offense and he was fined $100 and costs on each count and given a sus- pended jail sentence of thirty days on each complaint. The court warned both accused that their next appearance in court on a charge involving gambling would mean their commitment to jail. The advice given was interpreted as the final warning.
 Tn addition to the Corrigan case assigned for next week the cases of Rocco .Portia. Al, of 46 West Farm street; Peter Butraus, 454 West Main street: Edward Glea- son, 15 Willow street and John Hammel of 38 Phoenix avenue were postponed until tomorrow morning.
 The raids were entirely unex- pected and from all indications some of the boys were greatly shocked to receive a visit. Two

Germany Gives

"In bygone days such measures could be introduced in China, Tur- key and even in Germany after the era of imitation, but they are im- possible here to-day" it was said.
 Whereas some Paris advices in- dicated that the French would modulate their demands for politi- cal guarantees, Wilhelmstrasse dis played misgivings that the French want to triumph through a de- gredation of Germany.
 A Wilhelmstrasse spokesman commented:
 Great Britain is now asking a general reduction in European tar ifs, and if this aim were realized, it would mean a reduction of cus- toms revenues. Hence to lift Ger man customs as guarantee for a loan would fiagrantly conflict with the movement for lower tar ifs"
 It was understood Germany might tell France, the United States and Great Britain that con- tinuance of construction of pocket battleships should be left to the approaching disarmament confer ence, but that the Germans would intimate willingness to postpone construction of the third ship of the series. The first appropriation for this third ship is due in the 1892 budget.

(Continued from Page 1.)

Neither Shields nor Perry show ed his best form, although in the second and third sets the American occasionally flashed the brilliant backhand passes with which he de- feated Jean Borotra of France in the Wimbledon championships.
 Perry, playing beautifully, was off to a flying start and quickly ran up five games to one lead. The Englishman spurned the compara- tive safety of the baseline and stormed to the net where his agility enabled him to time and again kill the Americans forehand shot.
 Realizing that power was getting him nowhere Shields discarded his driving tactics and resorted to slow, high, tantalizing Jobs. This strategy worked, and Perry was forced to re- treat into the deepcourt, where he was no match for Shields at driv- ing
 Shields moved into the attack at the beginning of the second. Perry once again came to the shortcourt but this time the American did not drive him back with Jobs. Instead, l Shields came to the shortcourt himself and 1t developed into a vol leying match with Shields much the steadier and much the stronger.
 The third set was featured by Shields strategy. The American would lure the Englishman to the net and then leave him standing there fiat-footed with deep drives down the sidelines.

Charge Of Driving While Intoxicated
 Dropped By Court
Finn Claims Peculiar Odor of Banclebens Breath Caused By Chronic Asthma-Trouble Starts After Cars Collide on Main ThOrOughfare

, Sarpas testified that Bancleben was intoxicated and staggered when he attempted to walk. Ban cleben and his wife, and Adam Smith denied the charge. Dr Finn found no evidence of the ef- fleets of intoxicating drink and several other witnesses were held in reserve to help the accused, but were not called upon to tes- tify by counsel for the defense, Att torney Vincent Scully.
 The case of Paul Schryver, 32, of 140 Grand street, charged with operating d motor vehicle while under the influence of liquor, was continued until Tuesday morning. Andrew Craig, 31, of 198 Bishop street was ordered to observe a truce with his brother-in-laws and discontinue their fighting Michael Bartholomew, 200 North Main street, faces the charges to- morrow morning of intoxication and breach of the peace as the re- suit of d street fight.

The testimony of pr Alfred J Finn figured prominently today in the discharge of an alleged intoxi- cated operator of an automobile The defendant, Karel Bancleben, 55, of Al John street, while escap- ing this serious complaint. was found guilty of evasion of respon- sibility and was fined the mini- mum of $50 and costs.
 Dr Finn testified that two hours after the accused had been booked at police headquarters he eX- amined the man and found no traces of him having been intoxi- cated. He attributed the peculiar odor of the defendants breath to the fact that the man has been ail- ing with asthma for over three whether a person could detect an- others breath and declare posi- lively that the person had been drinking, the doctor answered that 1t depended upon the alcoholic content of the drink. Bancleben was in a decidedly nervous condi- tion after being placed in cell. His accent and his apparent effort to express himself would be mis- leading to one not knowing Ban- cleben. The doctor was questioned to some extent by Judge T. V. Meyer and Prosecuting Attorney Mitchell G. Meyers. At one par ticular point the doctor was inter- rupted and informed that four wit nesses had previously testified that they could smell evidence of drink from Bancleben and were positive that 1t was of an alcoholic nature, the witness remarked, Then they must be better judges than l am.
 Judge Meyer accepted the doc tors testimony and dismissed the complaint of operating an automo- bile while under the influence of liquor. In view of the fact that the defendant was alleged to have refused to give his name and ad- dress or show his license and at- tempted to snatch a book out of the hands of another operator, Rieben Sarpas of 505 Wilson street, the court held him responsible for at- tempting to evade responsibility.
 Cars operated by Sarpas and Bancleben collided at the intersec- tion of South Main and South Leonard streets last Wednesday evening. The two drivers argued about responsibility and demanded each others license card. The two machines eventually proceed ed up South Main street, Sarpas leading. Near the corner of South Main and Jewelry streets, Sarpas accosted Patrolman Joseph Sulli- van and complained of Bancleben's attitude. The latter continued past the point where the patrol man stood, but came to a stop on Liberty street when he heard the policeman's whistle.

DIVORCED WIFE
 OF KING CAROL
 TOQUIT COUNTRY
Helene of Greece Will Leave Runlania for Ger
 many - King Snubbed
 Her Again
BY ALEXANDER HERTIG United Press stan Correspondent

V
 Bucharest, Rpmania, July IT. Helene of Greece, beautiful divorc- ed wife of King Carol, planned to leave Rumania for Germany today apparently as the final gesture in ending her unhappy romance.
 She notified the government that she intended to go abroad in quest of her health and to visit her fam fly, with the "conseut of the king" Helene's sudden departure, how ever, was believed due to the fact that she had not been invited to the wedding this month of Princess Ileana, sister of King Carol, to Archduke Anton von Harsburg.
 The king, who once deserted the throne and Helene for the flaming haired Mime Mazda Lupescu, again took the opportunity to embarras his estranged wife. In the official communique announcing her inten- ton to leave Rumania, Helene was referred to not as "her majesty" the title accorded a queen, but as "her highness," to which Helene as royal princess of Greece.
 Helene, turning her face toward the borders of Rumania where she found largely unhappiness, turned the tables on King Carol-for it was he who left once before, leav- ing wife. child, homeland and throne for the love of the wife of a Rumanian army officer.
 She divorced Carol when he fail- ed to return after several years; and in the past year since he sud denly flew back from France and seized the throne from his son, the "boy king" Michael, now 10, she has steadfastly rejected his efforts to effect a reconciliation.

 London, July 17.-(UP)-Sii Frederick Leith-Ross was appoint ed chairman to-day of the reparas tions experts conference will meet Monday and other details were set- tiled, at a meeting including Bri- tish, Germans, French, Belgians. Italians, Japanese and Americans
 After appointing subcommit' tee to examine reports on facts relating to outstanding contracts for Germany's deliveries in kind. the committee adjourned to Mon- day. In view of the ministerial Monday, the committed to-day confined it's deliberations to procedure. It was agreed that any power not represented on the committee would be free to sub- init in writing statement of any special points affecting its inter- ests, and woulud likewise be grant ed opportunity to develop the statement in a personal interview, if such course seemed required.
 One question to be settled, the United Press was informed, was whether Italy is now bound to purchase from Germany 3,000,000 tons of coal which the Italians re- ceived free as separations in kind up to the time of the Hoover nor atorium. The Germans contend that deliveries must continue, with Italy paying cash, but the Italians consider that the moratorium ap- plies and that deliveries should be suspended for one year. All na- tions represented have accepetd in- vitations to the ministerial confer ence. Hugh Gibson, American ambassador to Brussels, Is chief United States delegate at the ex- perts' conference.

Nh More Isolation

Washington. July 17-(UP)- American foreign policy, in the view of informed observers here, Is moving farther away than ever from the once-revered doctrine of splendid isolation"
 The two highest cabinet officers Secretary of State Stimson and Secretary of the Treasury Mellon will represent the United States at London next Monday at a con- ference to consider emergency re- lief measures for Germany. They will go as "unofflcial observers" but as official representatives of the United States.
 This fact is viewed here as high ly significant, despite the state de- partment's reminder that Stimson and Mellon will draft no treaties and enter no "entangling alli- ances." For the first time since the Versailles conferences-excep ing the specialized disarmament conferences the United States will be officially represented at a Eu- ropean meeting to consider politi- cal and financial questions.

 The amount of credits to be available to Germany has not yet been fixed, but will be decided af- ter Germany makes her needs known. The credits primarily will be available through the banks of emission of France, Germany and Britain, perhaps in gold. The de- tails are yet to be arranged.

New York's Welcome

New York. July 17-(UP)- Otto Hillig and Holger Hoiriis. back from their transatlantic flight to Copenhagen, were given the city's official welcome from Mayor James J. Walker in a cere- mony at city hall to-day.
 The flying photographer whom fellow townsmen at Liberty, N. r., know as "Oteto," and his tall pilot arrived in town last night aboard the Mauretania and told of the flight from Hasbroukk Heights to Copenhagen by way of Harbor Grace, N. F., and Krefeld and Bre- men, Germany.
 Four reception committees met them at the pier, and among the throng were many citizens of Lib- erty.

 Hoiriis repeated to each other on the flight as their plane was over the Crank Banks in the north At lantic, and at other times to keep up their morale:

 "YMga was always good to me 50 were all my sons and my daughters. But Yurga got an edu- cation in military school. Then he became an officer in the war, ana a hero.
 After he was shot down as an aviator, and wounded. he served two years at the front, on the ground. Later he was captured and sent to Siberia but escaped and rejoined his army" the beam ing mother continued.
 Emperor Franz Josef gave him a special medal for that. Our son was the first in the army to get personally from the emperor a decoration at the beginning of the war.
 "At the close of the war, when the kaiser wanted a trusted flyer, he asked Hungary for one and Yurga was sent. Yurga, We think, flew at least once with the kaiser as passenger during the kaiser's trip from Germany to Holland where he was exiled."
 The mother held several prayer books in her hand as she talked to reporters who relayed cables an- nouncing her son had reached Budapest.
 "You see I have been saying these prayers all night-especial- ly the one about the traveller in strange lands. We prayed all night" the invalid mother con- tinued.
