TO MAKE
SECOND TOXIC TRY
Robbins and Jones Plan Early
Return to U. S.-WiII In
stall New Engine.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NOME. Alaska, July 10.-Their at
tempted nonstop flight from Seattle
to Toxic having ended near here in
failure, Reg L.<Robbins and Harold S.
Jones of Texas today planned an early
return to the United States to try it
again.
Robbins and Jones brought their
monoplane Fort Worth to earth at
Solomon, 80 miles east of here, early
yesterday, after having covered about
2,lO0 miles of the 5,100mile route and
having connected several times with
their trimotered refueling plane, piloted
by j. j. Mattern and Nick Greener.
After long rest, Robbins and Jones
announced. they would use the Fort
Worth for their second attempt, but
would install a larger engine They
said the same trimotored ship would
be used for refueling.
Plane Became Unwieldy.
In explanation Of the sudden ter
mination of their flight, Robbins said
the Fort Worth had become unWieldy
after 300 gallons of gas had been taken
aboard in high winds.
1t was impossible to hold the mono
plane in contact with the refueler, he
said. to take aboard sufficient gasoline
to complete the 3,000-mile flight to
Japan. The other refuelingS near
Fairbanks and on the way to Norton
Sound had been successful.
The Fort Worth had not been in the
air in test flights before leaving the
United States with a capacity load OF
435 gallons which the flyers had
planned to take aboard from their re-
fueler over Siberia.
Several attempts were made to fill
the Fort Worth's fuel tanks above
Nome, but the weight of the gas and
the high winds batfled them, Robbins
said. A larger engine in the Fort
Worth, he said, would have prevented
the trouble.
Flying here with the refueling crew
In the refueler yesterday, Jones and
Robbins had a long sleep after having
been 26 hours SO minutes in the air on
their hop from Seattle. Arising, they
ate heartily.
Weather Delays Return.
Bad flying weather to Fairbanks pre-
vented their take-off for Seattle, but
they said they would return to the
United States as soon as possible
Earlier in the day they had said they
would sell the Fort Worth if possible
here in Alaska.
The men were disappointed in their
failure in the quest for a $4,000 prize
offered by a japanese newspaper for
the first nonstop flight between Seattle
and Japan. Four previous attempts by
other flyers, two by Harold Bromley,
Tacoma. also have failed.
ITS tough" Robbins said, but we
couldn't see any other way out. and the
weather was so bad and visibility nil,
we would have killed ourselves outright
in attempting to get through"

To the Owners of the
Weed Lots in Salisbury:

1t was noted in this department sew
eral weeks ago that the tall weeds and
grass had been cut from some of the
unsightly vacant lots in the city the
previous week, to the great improve
ment of appearances. However, in
driving around the city the past week
| have noted that there are still a num-
Der of vacant lots where the grass and
weeds are tall and uncut. 1t is not nee
essary to state reasons why such plac-
es ought to be cleaned up.
Some of these lots are owned by cit
liens who are reputed to be very sub
stantial if not wealthy.
Doubtless there are plenty of I'm
employed men in the community who
would welcome the job of cutting the
grass and weeds for a small amount
of money, and some of them even
for two or three meals or the equiva-
lent thereof.

A REVOLUTION COMING IN
RAILROAD

When the railroads came, the stage coach
went. Now we have the quick-traveling rub
ber-tired, comfortable highway bus, also air
transport that soon will take you across the
continent. in a day.
But the railroad is not going to follow the
stage coach. Instead the present generation
is to see a revolution in railway operation.
The change-already in progress-will be ex-
pensive, but once established the economies
will be great.
Freight will move at 100 miles an hour on
ball-bearing axles drawn by streamlined mo-
tors.
Passenger coaches-not trains-may make
from 100 to 120 miles an hour safely and
smoothly and be the last word in comfort for
travellers.
These coaches will leave at hourly inter-
walls, a great convenience to the public, in
stead of once or twice a day linked together
in a long train.
The iron-horse, wonderfully developed as
he is, is Likely to, follow the stage coach. But
the railroads will remain to render greater and
finer service.
Roadbeds even now are fairly we'll prepar-
ed for this speed development.-Cabber's.

GOLD STAR TRIPS
END FOR THIS YEAR
1889 Mothers and Wild
ows Of War Dead Now
Have Made Pilgrima &c;
1870 More Eligible.

Washington.-The last party of
Gold Star Mothers to visit the GENE
teries of Europe this year has return
ed to New York on the steamship
George Washington. There were 11S
women from all parts of the United
States.
These pilgrimages were authorized
by Congress for the mothers and wild
ows of all World War men buried in
Europe, lost or buried at sea or listed
as missing or unidentified. The num-
Der of men so carried in War Depart
ment records is 34,31o, and 1889
mothers and widows eligible to make
the pilgrimage have been located. Of
these, 5,419 have made the pilgrim
age, 1858 in 1880 and 1856 in 1881.
The trip may be made at times desig-
mated by the Secretary of War until
October 81, 1888.
The average age of those who have
made the pilgrimage is slightly over
50 years and many who have not yet
gone are very much older than that.
The oldest woman who has. gone was
a mother aged 81. The advanced age
and physical condition of many of the
mothers makes it doubtful whether
a very large percentage will make the
trip in 1882 and 1888.
The first party sailed from New
York on May 7, 1880, and during the
summer of 1880 nineteen parties, COM
prising 1858 mothers and widows,
went abroad. The first party in. 1881
lett New York On May & and the last
party on August 10. Sixteen groups
went during the present year.
All expenses, from the time the wo-
men leave their homes until they re-
turn, are paid by the Government, and
the arrangements with railroads,
steamship lines and hotels provide for
strictly frst-class accommodations and
care.
Before leaving home, each mother
and widow is given a round-trip rail-
road ticket and one-way Pullman
ticket to New York and a check COW
ering her travelling expenses. En- route
to New York city they are cared for
by railroad conductors and officials.

State Department of Welfare.


State Department of Welfare.
My dear Mrs. Bost:
You mus have been disappointed
by the verdict of the Wake county
jury in the acquittal of Supervisor
Watkins on his second trial for man
slaughter, growing out of the death
of the young negro convict, William
Bellamy. Most people who followed
the evidence in the first trial regard
ed the verdict and sentence to six
months on the roads as eminently fair
to the defendant. However, through
appeal to the supreme court on a tech
nicality, a new trial was granted. The
latest verdict clears the defendant of
the technical charge of m~ans|auyhter,
although the evidence, including the
testimony of the defendant himself,
indicated conclusively that the death
of the prisoner resulted from confine-
ment IN the "sweat box" while sick
on a july DAY When the temperature
was we'll above 80.
The verdict presumably wipes the
case from the slate and nothing more
can be done about it. However,
through new legislation or otherwise
something should be done to prevent
prison supervisors, guards or other au-
thority from putting convicts to
death through any methods Of tor
ture. And certainly North Carolina
does not want return of the good
old days" of the whipping post IN
prison camps, as advocated by a mem
Der of counsel for the defense in the
Watkins case.

THE THIRD WINTER

Few people have yet realized the possibili-
ties for suffering and distress during the COM
ing winter. According to Census figures in
April, 1880, there were 2,50S,151 jobless in
dividuals. In January the same Bureau esti-
mated that the unemployed during the Sec
ond winter of depression numbered $780,
900. The predictions for the coming season
and for an even larger figure, representing
people who normally work but cannot find
anything to do at the present time.
About a year ago President Hoover declar-
ed that as a nation we must prevent hunger
and cold to our citizens who are in honest
difficulties" The President appointed Col.
Arthur Woods as the head of an Emergency
Committee on Employment. This year he had
the Community Chests survey the situation
and declared that the problem of employ
ment and relief, whatever it may be, will be
met" Mr.. Walter F. Clifford, big telephone
executive, has been placed in charge of I'M
employment relief for the third winter and
he sums up the problem by saying: 1.-THE real
cure for unemployment is employment. What
ever the burdens may be they will be whole
heartedly met"
The President is opposed to any relief ap-
preparation from the Federal Treasury, not
outstanding the assertions of many that local
charitable organizations having carried the
burden for two winters are not in a position
to repeat again. Governor Pinchot, Republi-
can Of Pennsylvania, has called the Presidents
attention to congressional appropriations for
the relief of the needy in distant parts of the
world, recommending a federal fund. Senator
Smoot, Republican of Utah, likewise appar-
emily favors congressional action. In New
York Governor Roosevelt, potential Demo-
cratic candidate for President in 1882, has re-
quested the appropriation of 10000 900 for
relief, to be provided by an increase of income
taxation, thus taking the very course which
President Hoover opposes on the part of the
Federal Government.
Chicago, New York and other large cities
are undertaking to provide large sums to al
leviate the coming distress. In Detroit Sena-
tor Couzens, Republican, generously offers to
contribute a million dollars if nine millions are
raised otherwise. Henry Ford, who has made
many times the money that Senator Couzens
has out of the same automobile business, con-
tinues his policy Of no large contributions but
prescribes The c~ostless rule that every employee
will have to have a garden or be discharged. =

To call a special session at this time
