 She have gone" said Gabreau, and the woman raised her wet, dis torted face.

 Conchita turned to the commoda, found an old paper amid the confu- sion of drawer, handed it to Kirk.
 T cannot read,' she said. And Gabreau, he cannot see mooch now. Molly point to where de paper is hide, but I thank she mean de white shawl. I not find de paper till Juanita have go."
 Kirk, holding the paper near the candle, saw Juanitas picture He put the paper in his pocket. God grant that Gabreau was right that she had gone to the police that he would find her. God grant :; He turned back to the bed.
 "You'il be all right, old scout" he said to Gabreau. "A faint smile fitted across the gray-pale face.

 Conchita's shrill cry filled the court as Kirk went out the little gate.
 Juanita sas n her cell in the old l jail Kirk was beside her, her hands in his own. Outside the guard paced up and down Now and then he looked at them. The girl had spoken but once since she had entered headquarters at midnight

 Kirk laughed. T believe in God too. Strange, isn't it?"
 T would have died rather thar let you know-after you said she paused. Strange you didn' know me. MT Ledbetter knew me or would have known me, if ht had not gone. I breathed agair when he had gone. I would have died rather than you should know

 Mrs Lofredo was to ferry the Liberty down for Portland. Me, to- day. She will take it to Teterboro airport, Hasbrouck Heights, x. J. to have the motor overhauled by Wright mechanics. Mrs Lofredo has selected Roger e. Williams to be her technical adviser and Rem aldo Donati. Italian aviator who flew the South Atlantic, will ac- company her on the flight to Rome as navigator.
 Williams flew to Rome with Lewis Yancey on July, 1929, but was forced down near Santander, spain, by q dwindling fuel supply. Mrs Lofredo hopes to make the flight in one hop.
 The Buffalo woman began her air experience by parachute jump ing from balloons in 1914. In 1922 she designed a parachute and went to Italy to demonstrate it. Donati was her pilot when She tested 1t at Ccntocelle field, Rome. She is 38. She married Umberto Lo- fredo. photographer, in 1912.
 Financial backing for her flight has been provided by Italian Amer lean residents of her home city.
 Mrs Lofredo hopes to take off about August 20, and 1t is possible the pubic, which watched Clyde Pangborn and Hugh Herndon, Jr, race Russell Boardman and John Polando across the Atlantic, will witness another ocean, race. Miss lngalls expects to leave about that time. She has not definitely stated her destination. but at St Louis she indicated it would be Paris.
 Meanwhile repairs are being rushed to Miss Nichols plane, un- der the supervision of Clarence Chamberlain, her technical adviser, in Jersey City.

1 Harold Gatty when they left Mos. COW, but they said they expected to regain lost time by a nonstop flight here.
 officials at the air field were ready to receive them and do everything possible to speed the I second team of American flyers to cross this way on world flight within a month.
 The flyers. as Post and Gatty had done, sacrificed sleep to con- tinue their journey, but If they maintain their average speed of 100 miles an hour they should gain a few hours on their way here. They hoped to reach Irkutsk this evening (before noon, eastern standard time).
 More than one-third of their world flight has been accomplish- ed in three days. On the Moscow Irkutsk lap, the flyers expected to pass the little Pussy Moth plane in which Miss Amy Johnson, British flyer, is on her way from London to Tokio.
 From Irkutsk, Pangborn and Herndon planned to fly 10 Khaba- rovsk, near the Pacific. and thence northeast to Nome, Alasxa, with out a stop. From Nome, they planned to fly directly back to New York.

inexperienced man, who proceeds to shake up" the force and petit son his predecessors policies on the broad theory that they must have been wrong.
 These congratulations, taking place in larger cities on an aver age of about every two years, ef- fectively disorganize police efficien- cy. the report said, and diminish the protection for which the pub lie pays.
 The commission recommended civil service protection for police chiefs, by which they would be re- movable only for proved cause. This, it said. would remove the el- ement of uncertainty and by min imizing political pressure would enable the executive to administer his office without fear or favor Thus could be retained in office men of experience in their jobs.
 The commission cited the cause of Milwaukee, which has had but two police chiefs in 46 years. A Wisconsin law brings police under civil service rules. Milwaukee IS cited in this and previous W1cker- sham reports as outstanding among large cities in the matter or crime detection and prevention.
 On the other hand, the report cited the classic If unusual case of a recent Indianapolis mayor who made his tailor chief of police This action he explained thus:
 q know that my man is going to be good chief because he has been my tailor 20 years. He knows
 I1th ought to be q good chief
 The commission remarked that civil service requirements for po- lice chiefs would be violently op- posed by politicians, since ''in the main the funds which really make successful campaigns possible come from owners and habitues of vice, gambling and bootlegging resorts
 Policemen in general were char acterized as of low average men tality and education, inadequately trained and ill-equipped for their work. The report concludes that more than 75 per cent of the country's policemen are not men tally equipped for their work.
 A better system of training po- licemen was urged as prerequi- site to appointment. State-main- tained police schools, teaching not only technical subjects but also the broad aspects of crime preVen- ton, child delinquency and other social problems, were favored. It also was suggested that universities include courses in police work.
 Police schools in New York, Louisville, Ky, Cincinnati. and Der kelley, Cal, came in for commenda- tion for their advanced methods.

LINDBERGHS' TRIP

Ottawa, Ont, Aug 1.-(UP) As Col and Mrs Charles A. Lindbergh
 prepared to take off from Moose
 Factory to-day hunters and trap pers thousands of miles to the
 northwest were making their way to Aklavik, hoping for glim psc
 of the famous flyers on their air
 trip to Japan. Aklavik is one of the scheduled
 stops on the Lindberghs itinerary. To-day's flight will take them to
 the foot of James Bay for an over
 night stop. From Moose Factory
 they are scheduled to push on to Fort Churchill, another 700-Odd miles further up Hudson Bay, and thence to Baker Lake and Aklavik, at the mouth of the Mackenzi"
 river.
 Late Yesterday the couple visited
 the House of Commons as guests of
 Col and Mrs Hanford MacNider. the American minister and his wife, and sat in the distinguished visitors gallery.
 Lindbergh said he would not hesitate to postpone the flight if
 weather conditions were not favor
 able. Yesterday, however, was
 clear and cool. Similar weather was in prospect to-day.
 According to dispatches from
 AkIavik, the fame of the flyer who
 made the spectacular nonstop
 flight from New York to Paris in
 1927 has spread even in the remot- est regions of the northwest ter ritories, and Indians and Esqui- meaux are as interested as white trappers in seeing him.
