AIR CORPS CNIEF COMING 10 C0NvENTION
IA TENNIS COURT
 | FOR HOPEVILLE
Would Be Appreciated By the Young People of
 That District
UP TO THE OFFICIALS


 Just one thing remains doing to give residents of Hopevilie an op- portunity to indulge in all kinds of sports almost at their own doors. The ball grounds are well and some of the old ones, too, take q turn at pitching quoits every other evening. The ball games at- tract big crowds. quiteI 8 number 'of women being among the en- thuastic spectators.
 What the people want, and hope to see it come in the near future, is Ia tennis court, which could be made at the southerly end of the athletic field abutting on Stiles street. There Is ample room for g tennis court at that point, and Il would be greatly appreciated by all the young people, especially the girls, who claim that they have been overlooked so far in the mat ter of providing places of amuse- ment. All they can do is.look on al the men while if they had a tennis court they could take hand al the at the sports themselves.
 A large share of the work oi making the athletic field was done by men furnished by the unem. ployment bureau and inasmuch al there are several men still on that list, the people of Hopeville hope that Mayor Hayes and MT Harri.
 will see that a tennis court is fixed up on time to be used this season
 They also are of the opinion tha1 the school house committee could
 help bring about this desirable condition. and are planning tc
 bring the matter to the attention of John J. Walsh, chairman of tho
 board of education, and also chair.
 man of the schoolhouse commit tee. The land is there serving nc purpose and could be put into
 shape for tennis court at a smal expense.

EPISODE TWO

Fish Wu counted ms men. TWO score times had the Sun God ap- peared and passed on to his rest ing place and nothing but blue sea could be seen. The wild waves had swept many from the junk and now but eight men remained to run the treadmill.
 Nackolus, the swimmer, only was cheerful and unafraid. His great strength had stood him well in need. It was he who worked long est on the treadmill and forced the turning paddle to drive the junk on and on toward the resting place of the Sun God.
 Fish Wu had been right. His discovery of the turning paddle permitted them to proceed against the wind.
 AS the Sun God crept down to- ward the sea, Fish Wu rejoiced ex- ceedingly, for the wind was now behind his destination, and the weary men could rest.
 The wind grew stronger and stronger and the junk fairly hissed through the foaming waves. Fish Wu, the builder, paced the deck, eyeing some distant specks over which the Sun God was sinking to his resting place.
 AS Nackolus came up, Fish Wu pointed them out and said: "Yon- der, Nackolus, lies land and the morrow should find us there Thinkest thou that our junk will weather this sea? Wonder spray seems to hide the Sun God"
 Nackolus placed his mighty hand on the shoulder of Fish Wu, the builder, and exclaimed: 'Fish Wu, thy wisdom is great! The attach ment of this deep sharp keel makes the junk ride safely. Great is Tung-hai, but thou art greater Should this wind prevail all night we should be ready to greet the Sun God in his own home on the morrow Queer thoughts have en- tered my head, oh my friend, and last night dreams came that thou and I were no longer together Tell me, Fish Wu, what commands my dying father, the great Timur Khan, spoke unto thee."

JUROR SAYS OUTSIDE INFLUENCE DID N0T
 DICTATE THE VERDICT

HONOLULU, May 4.-"The jury was guided solely by the evidence and by the fact that law and order must prevail in the Hawaiian Is lands. There were no racial lines in our deliberations.
 we felt that no man or woman should take the law into his or her own hands and we appreciated the suffering caused Lieutenant Mas sic and Mrs Fortescue by the at tack on Mrs. Massie," said Theo- dore Char, juror, in relating the reason for the manslaughter ver- dict in the 'honor staying" case.
 Persistent reports that outside influence dictated the manslaugh- ter verdict against the Massie- For teScue "honor staying" defendants were denied by the jury's foreman.
 It had been reported that one of the leading business men had sent word to the jurors that only such a verdict would satisfy the ends of justice and be acceptable to the community.

 CAURD, BEGINS TRIP
 ID ATLANTA PRISON

CHICAGO, May A. (P-Flanked by half a dozen Federal agents, Al Capone, the once multi-million- aire head of liquor, gambling and vice syndicate, Tuesday was hur- ried from his jail cell and started on the trip to the Atlanta, Ga. penitentiary, where he starts serv- ing an 11-year prison term.
 A caravan of police cars accom- panied Capone to the station where he arrived fully an hour before the train started. Capone said: I'm glad to get started" He is due to arrive in Atlanta at 6::3O D. m. today.
 Rumors were circulated that an attempt was to be made to rescue Capone. His recent statement that, if released, he would be able to re- turn the Lindbergh baby has been examined by Federal agents and found preposterous.

YACHT MAROON AGAIN
 LEAVES FOR HIGH SEAS

NORFOLK, Va, May 4.-The yacht Maroon left Norfolk again Tuesday for the open seas, presum- ably to again take up negotiations for the return of the Lindbergh child. The vessel was about 24 hours late in getting underway on it's present trip as bad weather forced the craft to remain within shelter.
 Because reports were current that Col. Charles Lindbergh was not at his home in the Sourland Hills mountains and had been ab- sent for several days, some specu- lation arose as to whether or not the flyer was on the yacht Maroon. The Colonel is said to have left his home on a secret mission for his kidnapped son. State police at the Lindbergh house have declined to comment on the Colonels where abouts.
 A new underworld unit is report ed at Hopewell as throwing it's strength into the search for the Lindbergh baby. Al Capone's aid was hinted at in the new gangland activities at Hopewell, it was said.

JAPAN WANTS ABOLISH
 AIRCRAFT CARRIERS AND
 WARSH|P LANDING DECKS

GENEVA, May 1.-The Japanese delegation to the disarmament con- ference launched major offen- sive" for abolition of aircraft car riers and of all landing decks on warships, pointing out the purpose of such is transportation of planes over long distances ito attack en- emy soil rather than to defend it's own territory" and demanding the scrapping of all such ships.
 A communication to the confer ence branded such measures as a maintenance of the most aggreS- sive weapons. It is explained in American circles that such meas ure would greatly strengthen the Japanese Navy as compared with the United States in carriers. League statistics of 1881 show the United States has three aircraft carriers totalling 77,5OO tons and is building another of 13,800 tons Japan shows three totalling 1,70( tons with another building of 7,60( tons. Great Britain has six car riers totalling 115,35O tons.

Story of Umnakus
The Sun Child
By E. P. s.

Now, Fish Wu had come to love Nackolus, the swimmer, as his own son and he dreaded the parting which he knew would come ere long. So he walked away from Nackolus thinking deeply of plan whereby he might arrange to leave the might swimmer alone on the new land.
 The sea dashed higher and high CT and when darkness fell, the frightened seamen begged Fish Wu to allow them to go below where the mighty hands of the roaring sea could not grasp them from the junk.
 It was Nackolus who bade them go below while he and Fish Wu lashed the rudder bar in place and paced the deck, ever peering ahead in the darkness for signs of dan ger Early that morning they had passed a mighty fish whose great tail lashed the sea as he sank into it's depths.
 Fiercer and fiercer blew the wind and in the lulls between the blasts new danger fell upon their ears; the roar of the breakers. An in- stant later they were blowing thru the surf and froth covered the deck.
 Nackolus rushed for the rudder bar, for we'll he knew that the junk must be turned at once or be dash ed to pieces on an unknown shore. Fish Wu crept to his side, for the roar of the surf had thrown fear into his brave spirit. Might fly they strained oA the rudder bar and nightly the hands of the sea pulled against them. The great junk slowly swerved under their efforts and they passed out thru the surf.
 Again they lashed the rudder bar but now, Fish Wu was sinking un- der the strain and Nackolus lifted him in his mighty arms. At that instant the junk struck and the two men were hurled high into the air and landed on the jagged rocks below.
 The Sun God was high in the sky when Nackolus opened his eyes. His head was resting in the lap of Fish Wu, who was gently stroking him. Nackolus struggled to his feet and gazed at his friend. Fish Wu had been the cushion for his fall as his mangled body clearly attested. Fish Wu was attempting l to speak and Nackolus caught these words from the bloodless lips: q have brought - you here and - now - I leave thee - to-"
 Fish Wu's head dropped and l Nackolus was alone.
