Haiifax, N. g.. Aug 1s-(UPl- James A. Mollison, young scottlst flyer. passed here to-day in hiI tiny Fuss Moth plane after making the first solo flight westward across the Atlantic acean, loca airport officials announced.
 Air field attaches were thrilled when a silver-grey Moth plane which they said they had Identified as Mollison's by the lettering G-ABXY on the fuselage, ap- peared out of the clouds and cir cled over Halifax.
 The plane disappeared after being first. sighted at about | m., but re-appeared an hour later Ray Goodwin, superintendent oi the airport, made arrangements to assist the pilot to a landing but to his surprise, the plane con, tinued on, apparently to New York. Goodwin surmised that the pilot was merely getting his bear ings. and deciding that his fuel was sufficient, set New York for his goal.
 Moiiison, bidding goodbye to his bride, Amy Johnson. also a noted flyer, left Portmarnock Strand, Ireland, at 5;s5 a. m., E, s. T.. yesterday. The plane was sighted here at a. m., E s T, approximately 23h hours later
 When he left Ireland, Mollison announced he had more than 23 hours fuel and believed he could reach New York nonstop. He had planned to pass over Harbor Grace, Md. and refuel there fl necessary. Airport officials were greatly surprised by the sudden appearance of the plane here without previous word. which would indicate that Mollison had flown far south of his expected course and probably was nowhere near Newfoundland.
 If Mellison succeeds in reaching New York, he will have accom- plished great achievement in aviation. The westward crossing has always been accompanied by grave perils, and many flyers, in powerful planes, have been lost in the attempt.
 Mollisen's tiny plane, the Hearts Content, was stripped down to ab- solute essentials to make room for gasoline. He was smilingly confi- dent of success.
 Apparently good weather fa- vored him nearly all the way across the Atlantic. The master of the s. s. Ascania wirelessed the United Press that he was sighed $40 miles out from Portmarnock at II a. m. EST, yesterday. m4k- ing better than 105 miles an hour. The weather was ideal.
 Mollison was not sighted at sea again. The weather out to sea off this coast was good early to-day.
 The plane was reported sighted again about two hours after leav- ing Halifax, passing out to sea from Yarmouth. at the southern end of Nova Scotia. It headed in- to a dense fog and no further re- ports of it's progress were re- ceived.

 St John, N. B., Aug 19.-(UP)- A plane definitely identified as that of James A. Mollison passed over here shortly after 11:30 a. m. to-day.
 More than 20 persons read the markings G-ABxY as the silver gray Fuss Moth plane swung low. The name the Hearts Content also could be read.

governor has no legal Jurisdiction over him, and that he has been de- prived of his constitutional rights by Roosevelt's method of conduct ing the removal hearing. Under the court, order, the governor must show cause before Supreme Court Justice Ellis J. Staley at 10 a. m. to-day why he should not be per- manently stayed from acting on tho removal charges.
 This action transferred the open ing scene in the political drama from the executive chamber in the capitol to the county court house. Henry Epstein, deputy attorney general and son-in-law of Max D. Steuer of the Tammany board of strategy, will oppose the Walker suit for a writ of prohibition.
 The embattled mayor further bolstered his case by calling IA witnesses in addition to the eight republican leaders, to be heard should he lose his point in court to-day.
 Some were called to support Walkers statement that he spent his own money in Europe in 1927. and the taxicab board of control was not created to give big cab companies a monopoly.
 The additional IA summoned were:
 The entire board of taxicab con- trol: Chairman Maurice Hotehner, Col George w. Mixter, Daniel L.. Reardon, president of the U. s. Trucking corporation; Philip Le- boutellier, president of Best & CO; Lenor F. Loree, president of the Delaware & Hudson Railroad. Also William c.

HEARINGS GO ON N

State Capitol. Albany, N. Y., Aug -(UP)-Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt today continued his formal hearings into custer charges against Mayor James J. Walker of | New York. after court decision on the validity of the proceedings had been delayed until Monday.
 A double attack on the gover- nors right to remove Walker from his $40,000 job came to a halt when one action was delayed by Supreme Court Justice Ellis J. Staley until Monday, and a second suit was adjourned to permit filing of additional briefs and further re- buttal tomorrow and Monday. Mayor Walker created stir in the executive chamber at noon, when he entered with Paul Block, New York newspaper publisher, the man through whose "benefi- cence" the mayor. received nearly $25O,000 profit from a joint brok- ge~account.
 John J. Curtin. Mayor Walkers counsel continued his motions to dismiss the 15 charges against his client, and took up conclusion No. 10,". which recites that the mayor flor the purpose of concealing his interest therein," caused his per sonal financial transactions to be conducted through and in the name of Russell T. Sherwood"
 Curtin argued that the charge on its face, was "in no way con nected with the official conduct o1 the mayor" and said there was nc evidence to connect Sherwocd'i million dollar brokerage account with Walker.
 Concerning the Sherwood "spe. cial account" Curtin declared that the only checks from that paid out on behalf of the mayor were tc Walkers sister, Mrs Nan Walker Burke.

NEW BICYCLE HAS
 "OUTBOARD MOTOR"

An "outbOard motor" for bicy- cles, suggesting those used on wa ter craft in its design and mount ed on the rear, has recently been placed on the market. Power is transmitted by a friction drive to the tire of the rear wheel. says Popular Science Monthly. A ham dlebar thumb button ccIltrols the speed of the one-cylinder meter, while a hand lever just ahead of the saddle raises the whole motor to disengage 1t from the wheel when desired. It locks in drive position so that it will not bounce. It is said to produce speed of thirty miles an hour.
