LINDY'S PACIFIC
{ AIRPLANE HAS
GREAT POWER
Ship Has Smaller Cruising
Radius Than Famous
Atlantic Craft.
BY HARRY W. FRANTZ

WASHINGTON, June %. The
Lockheed Sirius monoplane to be
used by Charles end Anne Lind
bergh in their Pacific fight has far
greater power and speed, but a
smaller cruising radius than the
Spirit Of St. Louis, which blazed an
air trail from New York to Paris.
The Spirit of st. Louis is housed
at the Smithsonian Institution,
where it attracts a never lending
stream Of interested tourists.
Plane Hung Apart
So great was the attraction, in
fact, that the plane had to be hung
at the very entrance, quite apart
from the building reserved for other
planes Of historic flights.
The Lockheed Sirius plane, al
ready used by the Lindberghs in
their second transcontinental fight
in 1880, was the first Of It's type
manufactured by the Lockheed divi-
sion Of the Detroit Lockheed Cor
poration.
The name Sirius" is for the star,
one Of the brightest in the. heavens.
The plane in performance soon
indicated its title.
Attached Great Interest
On April 20, 1880, the Lindberghs
few from Los Angeles to Roosevelt
Field, near New York, in IA hours
As minutes and 80 seconds elapsed
time, with one stop en- route for re-
fueling, record at that time.
The successful plane naturally at
tracted the attention Of the entire
aviation industry.
Lindbergh's present plane, in
cidentally, was given a license
number 'NR-211," similar to the
'Nx-211," accorded by the Depart
ment of Commerce to the Spirit Of
St. Louis" The letter "R" indicates
that the plane is permitted to fly
outside the United States.

FISHING OPENS MONDAY IN TWO
 LOCAL REGIONS
Icy Strait a n d w stern Districts Start Salmon
 Fishing Monday

Commercial salmon fishing will open Monday morning in two Southeast Alaska districts - Icy Straits and the Western District and canneries in three districts will launch operations for the 1881 season.
 The operations, from all indica- tions. will be the smallest in the past decade. but will be materially more extensive than in 1921, which was the peak year of the post war period of depression.
 Fifteen Plants Open
 Fifteen plants are expected to start Monday in the three dis tricts-including Port Althorp, Dun- das Bay, two plants at Excursion Inlet, all in Icy Strait; Hawk h. let, Haines Packing Company, Ten akee, Chatham, Todd, Sitka, and Hood Bay in the Western District; and Taku, which has already can ned some kings, Rake, Tyee and Pillar Bay. Two canneries that were operated last year-Douglas and Funter Bay-wlll remain clos ed this year.
 There will be sharp reductions in gear in all the districts. In Icy Straits only 39 traps will operate this year as compared to 45 last, and in the Western District, the number has been reduced from 68 to 50, an elimination of Is.
 There has been one by regula- ton in the seining areas, all dis trlcts open to seine boats in 1880 remaining open for the current season. There will be, however, some reduction in seiners as few of the companies are bringing up seine boats from Puget Sound.
 Expect Good Pink Run
 Easing his forecast on records of past cycle years, Capt. M. J. OConnor, Asst. Agent of the U. S.. Bureau of Fisheries today said he expected good run of pink sal mon in both the Icy Strait and Western areas. The red salmon run in the same sections. he added, ought to be fair. Both species should be above the average.
 As to chums and cohoes, no pre- diction can be made, and it will be later in the season before any real idea can be had of the size of the runs of these two varieties of fish.

KILLERS WIFE
 WINS DIvORCE;
 HE HIDES OUT
Woman Ba dly Wounded by Shots When Gamb-
 Ter Slew Landlord

DETROIT. June 13.-Echoes of the shots that killed Louis Salvio, landlord racketeer, and wounded pretty Grace Triano, twenty-seven, were heard when Grace received a divorce from Felix Triano, thirty seven. The jealous rage of her husband eliminated in the shoot ing of Salvio and has kept Triano a fugitive from justice for seven months.
 Since the night he found his wife in negligee, visiting Salvio's apartment, Felix Triano, big-time gambler and beer runner, has been hiding out.
 No Word From Him
 Unable to serve him with divorce papers, Mrs. Triano's lawyer finally obtained service by publication.
 The gamblers wife testified that she knows as little about her hus- bands whereabouts as do police, and that she has not communi- cated with him since he fled.
 No trace of Triano has bee n found since last December when he wrote a newspaper that he was going to commit suicide.
 By the time this letter
 reaches you" he wrote, T will
 be dead"
 The Wife Explained
 A dark empty apartment greeted Triano when he returned home one night. Bursting with jealousy, he entered Salvio's flat. There he found his scantily clad wife and the landlord. He fired single bullet through Salvio's brain.
 Then he fired twice at his young wife, wounding her in the head and shoulder.
 In the hospital, Mrs. Triano ex- plained her presence in Salvio's flat by saying she was distressed over her husbands absence.
