 ably the debenture holders as well,
 will suffer total losses of their holdings"
 It is pointed out, on the other
 hand, that if the merger material
 izes, there is every reason to be- lieve that the B. and w. company can continue even if the general
 business situation does not improve in the near future. Stockholders and debenture holders are urged in the letter to approve the merger. At the present time the banks are owed $306,000 by the B. and w., it Is explained in the letter. If these
 loans are continued by means of a total reduction of not more than Approximately $100,000, the com pany will have ample working capi- tai by means of the new money to
 be put into it by the Bridgeport concern. However, if the banks in-
 sist on a full payment of the loans,
 there will not be sufficient working
 capital and the Bridgeport com pany will not come in on the project.
 In the letter 1t Is strongly stat ed that the money realized from
 the sale of debentures in July,
 1880, has not been dissipated of
 lost. Part of this cash, it is ex- plained, was used to pay merchan-
 disc and other bills due on July 1st, 1880, and g. considerable part of the cash was taken from bank bal ances in January, 1881, and April,
 1881. as offsets against loans by the banks.

 Herndon and Pangborn, flying . red Bellanca monoplane, left Floyd Bennett Air Field, Brooklyn at dawn yesterday for Moscow, their first scheduled stop in projected around d-the-world flight. They hoped to beat the time set by Wiley 8h days in the monoplane Winnie Mae.
 Boardman and Polandoz, flying lanca monoplane, directed a course almost identical with that of the other flyers, but their goal is Istanbul. Turkey. They are after a new long-distance record.
 Neither plane was definitely sighted during the day and night, but two planes were seen early last evening about 100 miles apart as they passed over the Southwestern tip of Newfoundland, heading for the Atlantic. There appeared lit- tie doubt they were the transat1an- tic planes.
 One plane was sighted at 5 p. m. flying high and heading out to sea Ia report from the Ramea Islands, about 200 miles west of St Johns, Md, said. Another plane was re- ported little later passing over Cape St Mary. 80 miles southwest of St Johns.

 From Heat Wave
(Continued from Page 1.)

The drowning victims included Edward Lowry, 17, son of New York policeman. who lost his life in Mystic river, Medford, where he was on vacation. Peter Shevock. 12, of Florence, Joseph A. Beaure- gard, 35, of Lawrence, and Paul D. Appleton, 5, of South Portland, Me, also were drowned.
 At 3 D. m. the Boston Weather bureau reported a reading of 97.4 degrees. three tenths of a degree higher than the previous high for July 28, recorded in 1894.
 Unofficial readings in excess of 100 were reported in several com munities. Kennebunk, Me, boast ed" a reading of 120 in the town center, adding that at the beach, four miles distant, the sea breeze was So chill that many persons wore wraps.
 A symphonic orchestra under Arthur Feidler gave a weekly con- cert on the Charles River Esplan- ade last night, and the usually formally-clad musicians appeared in rolled-up shirt sleeves.
 All of Boston's playgrounds ex- cept those equipped with showers were closed.
 Governor Ely took official cog nizance of the enervating heat by ordering department heads to dis miss all possible workers for the afternoon. Many business houses likewise permitted employees to go hone.
 It was estimated that nearly 100000 persons sought relief at Revere, Nantaset, Lynn and Ma hant beaches yesterday and last night.
 Rest of Nation.
 Chicago, July 29-(UP)-Show- CTS in scattered localities were pro- missed to day by United States Weather bureau officials as relief from oppressive heat which has baked the nation during the last i've days and caused nearly 100 deaths.
 Cooler weather was predicted for virtually every section of the country.
 The death toll in the southwest. including the Imperial Valley of California, was given unofficially at 68 for the five days. Weather officials said the heat wave in Southern California and Arizona was almost unprecedented. Rains brought temporary relief yester- day.
 Needles, Calf, was the hottest city in the country with a temper ature of 112. Yuma, Ariz., report ed 10S degrees; and Freshno, Cal f., 100.
 New England suffered under a record heat wave that brought death to at least eight persons and caused innumerable prostrations. A temperature of 97.4 in Boston was said to be the highest Tn his- tory for July 2S. Forecasters said only slight relief could be expect ed today.
 Nine additional deaths were caused as New York sweltered yesterday under a temperature of 94, the record for the season. Windswept the beach at Ocean City, N. J., injured five persons and caused property damage.

over Ireland at about the time the unidentified planes were heard. Herdon and Pangborn were head ed direct for Moscow on an at- tempt to beat the Post -Gatty rec- ord around the world, and the other flyers were headed for Istan- bul, Turkey, seeking the world straight-line. long distance record.
 The first plane heard was re- ported ip a private dispatch to London to have passed over valen- tia at 1915 D. m. A United Press dispatch later said a plane had been heard over Knightstown, Va- lentia Island, at 3:15 D. m. Later the Valentia wireless station said plane had been heard at p. m. over Port Magee, on the coast on- ly 8 few miles from Valentia. Be- cause of the conformation of the coast. Knightstown is due north- east of Port Magee, so that plane headed east could easily have been heard over Port Magee and over Knightstown Is minutes later.
 A thick mist lay over the re- zion and 1t was imp ossible to identify the planes. The general weather over eastern Europe was good for flying.
 Neither machine carried a radio sending set, hence no word was ex- pected from them other than when sighted by ships or at places along

This auction will involve property against which liens have been placed. The sale will take place September 30, next.

however, tHe SpcCldCuidF bleclHub and mail transfer at the Malygin probably will take second place in importance as compared with the almost unprecedented opportun- tiles for scientific observation be. ing afforded the transoceanic voy- ager now transformed into a fly ing laboratory"
 Already there have been impor- tant geographic discoveries con- cerning the little-known areas within the Polar Sea, according to reports, and 1t is believed probable that simultaneously with these map-making observations there have been no less important check ings on compass deviations. clima- tic conditions, and a host of other matters apparently of small conse- quence to dwellers in more temper ate climes but which the scientists hope to release to everyday life. One of these has to do with weather forecasting. Data gath cred on the flight are expected to be of importance in improving present forecasting procedure.
 The infrequency of radio reports from the dirigible was explained by officials of the Zeppelin Works, who have been without direct wire- less contact since Tuesday morning. as probably due to the fact that the dirigible was travelling in a dead zone."
 Such dead zones are frequently encountered in the Arctic. They cause & complete fadeout of radio connection and explain the fre- quent impossibility of contact be- tween the Zeppelin and even the nearby ice e-breaker Malygin.
 Latest reports from Leningrad indicated that the Zeppelin had been encountering winds and, with fog impending, might be retreating toward the southeast of Franz Jo- sef Land. The craft was said to be moving toward kameness Island, which is off northeast Cape, Siberia.
 The Malygin has intercepted nothing since 1t overheard the Graf Zeppelin trying to make contact with the Hamburg g-Americah liner Resolute, which Is on a northern pleasure cruise. The position of the Zeppelin at that time was given as 400 miles south of Spitzbergen.
 LINDBERGHS DELAYED | New York. July 29.-(UP)- Mrs Anne Morrow Lindbergh, as radio operator for her husband, Charles, on their pleasure trip by air to the Orient, was to make ad- ditional tests of the planes trans hitter to-day before the flying couple resume their trip.

 The LindberGhs arrived here yes- terday at 3:45 D. m., after flying from Washington in hours and l26 minutes. Attendants at North Beach airport were rather surpris- cd to see the trim Lockheed- Sirius monoplane speed in through a cur tain of rain, for 1t was thought they were on their way to Maine.

ing last Monday morning at the

cused Of shooting to death Grover
