Flying B0nd0ir' in Sixth
Day AIoH; New Record Is
Set BY Too Woman Pilots
Tired, Weary, but They Are
Determined to Keep On
Until Sunday.
By United Press

VALLEY STREAM, L. l., Aug. 20.
Two weary young women piloted
their flying boudoir" above Curtiss
airport here in the sixth day of their
record smashing endurance flight,
determined to remain aloft until
Sunday afternoon.
At II a. m. eastern standard
time) today Mrs. Frances Harrel
MarsaliS and Mrs. Louise McPhet-
ridge Thaden had been in the air
142 consecutive hours, hours longer
than the old record established in
January, 1881, by Bobby Trout and
Edna May Cooper. The old record
was 122 hours and so minutes.
They were dog tired" today, but
convinced that they and their plane
were good for many hours more,
They want to stay in the air ten
days. If they do, they will establish
a record of 240 hours.
But c. S. Casey Jones, manager
of the airport, declared he probably
would order them down Sunday.
Those girls have done wonder
fully" he declared. Il don't want
them to risk their lives, and I think
Sunday will be the limit of safe en-
durance. If they stay up until then
they'll have a record that will stand
for a long time"
Celebration in Air
Five minutes before the new rec
ord was established Friday after
noon, half a dozen planes stunted
wildly about the women's blue and
silver monoplane.
The r~efueling plane, piloted by
Johnny Runger and Stewart Reiss,
hoped and joined in the demon
stration. Runger leaped overheard
and f1oated to earth, waving to the
girl pilots as his parachute carried
him past the endurance plane.
The Flying Boudoir" swung away
from it's escort, and dropped low
over the airport, dipping its wings
in salute. Then it zoomed up to
$500 feet, continuing its aerial
antics.
Sheafs of congratulatory tele-
grams and messages were taken
aloft for the girl fierS. There was
a message from Mrs. Thaden'S
parents in Bentonville, Ark; another
from her husband in Baltimore.
William I. Marshalis, a COM
mercial pilot. sent a note to his
record breaking wife.
Both veteran" Filters
Neither Mrs. Thaden nor Mrs.
Marsalis is a novice at flying. Both
are 26, and have flown for several
years.
Mrs. Thaden in 1920 won the first
women's air derby from the Pacific
coast to Cleveland.
She has held the women'S altitude
record, the nonrefueling endurance
mark, and the speed record.
Mrs. Marsalis learned to fly in
1927. She participated in the ma
tional air tour in 1929.
Later she toured the United
States, Canada and Cuba with an
air circus as its only woman flier.
Good weather today indicated the
Flying Boudoir" could continue for
hours. The two women were fresh
er than on the third and fourth
days OF the flight.
Both pilots had a few hours sleep
Friday, their first in thirty-Six
hours.
Heavy rain and fog mosJ of
Thursday had kept them under
constant strain.

BRIDE TO SAIL FOR U. S.
Captain Jimmy Catching
Up on Sleep After Trip
Across Atlantic.

Copyright. 1882. BY United Press
ST. JOHN, New Brunswick, Aug.
20.-Captain Jimmie Mollison. fly
ing bridegroom" who piloted a Puss
Moth plane across the Atlantic
alone, the first to make that deadly
east-to-west solo crossing, has
abandoned his three-day round trip
plan, and will fly to Montreal and
Ottawa.
He will fly back home later, he
said.
The %27-year-old Scotsman said
today that he would not arrive in
New York before 3 p. m. Sunday.
I'm trying to catch up on sleep,
you know" he chuckled.
Thoroughly exhausted after bat
thing heavy fog in that first nom
stop solo flight from Ireland to New
York, the husband of Englands
foremost woman fier, Amy john
son, said he had been invited to
address the imperial economic con-
ference at Ottawa on the subject
Of aeronautics.
Tiny Plane Is Checked
He will stop, however, at Mon
treal at the behest of his friend,
Colonel w. A. Bishop, famous Ca
madam war ace, he said.
Captain Mollison landed at Penn
field Ridge, near st. John, at 1880
p. m, eastern standard time, Fri
day, after thirty hours and ten min
uteS in the air.
He uew the Atlantic in a plane so
esmall he hardly could squeeze
into it.
The tiny monoplane, which he
has called Hearts Content" was
being checked and refueled at the
st. John airport today for his de-
parture.
It's a fine ship" he said. ut
didn't miss a lick. All the way over
1 felt as though I had a trusted
servant beneath my feet. And
when I landed, the plane apparent
ly was in as good condition as when
1 started"
He Isn't a "FooP'
Captain Jimmie, as he is known
to all of England, made aviation
history when he completed his
fight.
The east-to-west crossing of the
Atlantic has cost more lives than
any other flying course.
Since N~ungesser and Coli, many
men and women have persisted try
ing to reach America from Europe.
Yet Mollison flew it, and having
flown it, didn't seem greatly excited
about it.
Il didn't think I would get so
tired" he said. But there's no
sense in a mans making a fool Of
himself"
Once he reached st. John from
Pennfeld Ridge, Mollison's first
thought was of his wife. He asked
the press to get the news to Lon
don quickly. Then he put in a
transatlantic telephone call.
Amy to Sail Today
All nOuT ldCeT ne talked 10 Amy
Johnson. She had stood on the
beach at Portmarnock, Ireland, to
watch him speed into the haze, over
the Atlantic.
She told him when he called that
he should go to bed, and get some
sleep.
She told him, also. that in view of
the fact that he would not be turn
ing back for England Immediately,
she would take ship today for New
York, to join him in the United
States.
I'll be in New York about a week,
1 think" the 27-year-old Scot said.
"Oh, yes, I'll fly back. But Mrs.
Mollison won't be with me-"

LOTTERY HUNT
HITS CHURCHES
OF COUNTRY
Investigation Is Extended to
BazarS, in Wake of
Lodge Indictments.
COURT FIGHT PROMISED
Frank {. Herring, Eagles
Publisher, Denies U. S.
Law Violation.
BIZ Times SDecial.

BIZ Timcs SDccfal
WASHINGTON, Aug. 2O.-A far
flung investigation which will in
clude " church bazaar lotteries is
under way, federal officials revealed
today, in the wake of the indictment
OF six prominent men for alleged
connection with lodge lotteries.
At the same time. announcement
was made by Frank E. Herring of
South Bend, Ind, publisher of the
Eagles magazine, one Of the men
indicted, that the case will be fought
through the highest courts.
The campaign against lotteries
has been extended virtually to every
part Of the country, with cores of
detective agencies enlisted.
Government officials said they
have evidence that churches of the
countries and lodges have placed
thousands of dollars in their treas
uries through a large variety of
games Of chance.
Probe Other Pools
In addition, baseball pools and
other lotteries are being probed, in
the general roundup.
Evidence in nearly 200 lotteries
conducted by Illinois and Indiana
churches is being assembled. In
one case, that of a Chicago church,
il was said that $50 tickets at $3.50
apiece had been sold for a dance in
Los Angeles that never was held.
However, the holder of the prize
winning ticket received $500.
One Of the lotteries said to have
been conducted under direction OF
Senator James J.. Davis of Penn
sylyania, one of the six indicted,
sold a million tickets at 81 each,
officials disclosed.
However, it was said today by
one official that he doubted that the
senator would be involved in any
direct violation of United States
law. He intimated that some of
the charges against Davis would
be dropped.
Mails Watched Closely
A close watch is being kept on the
mails, to detect any games of chance
being operated by means of the
postal system. Telegraph, telephone
and personal calls are being used by
promoters, also.
One church in Charleston, S. c.,
Is said to have operated a lottery
on the Kentucky Derby this year.
Hering's statement declared that
he believed the whole question was
one Of law and its Interpretation.
If necessary" he said, this will
be carried through successive courts.
Il voluntarily appeared before the
grand jury in New York a month
ago. No summons or subpoena was
issued.
i o have been requested bv
the national attorney for the Eagles
to appear in New York with Conrad
Mann, Eagles president, at an early
date, to be fixed soon.
Further than this, I have no
knowledge of other interested par
ties and influences that may have
been active in the matter. 1 as
sumed, however. that when the
Western Union Telegraph Company,
a great national corporation, fur
nished its services that the corpo-
ration must have been advised by
its attorneys as we we're advised by
ours, that the bazars we conducted
were not a violation of any federal
statute, l still adhere to that opin-
ion. as do my associates in the
Eagles"
