M|STR|AL DECLARED
IN BARRETT CASE
Jury Puzzled Over Failure
of Prosecution to Put
Kenney on Stand.

A mistrial was declared early this
afternoon in the assault trial Of Robert
j. Barrett, suspended detective sergeant,
when the jury in District Supreme
Court informed Justice Daniel w.
O'Donoghue that 1t was hopelessly
deadlocked. The jury had deliberated
since 4 pm. yesterday and twice had
requested instructions from the court.
The foreman of the jury told Justice
ODonoghue that failure Of the prose-
cution to place Detective Sergt. James
E. Kenney on the stand puzzled the
jurors. Kenny was one OF the officers
said to have been present when the
assault occurred.
The case Is the last Of q series Of
So-called third degree prosecutions
which arose from a Department Of Jus
tice investigation last year.
Barrett is charged with assault on
George NJ. Baber, who was being in
vestigated In connection with the slay-
ing of Mrs. Elizabeth Jaynes, cashier
of the Garden -Shoppe.
The Government claims that Barrett,
with other officers, waited at Baber's
home In the Marne Apartments, Thir-
teenth and Belmont streets, and, when
Baber appeared, beat him severely.
The defendant was convicted on this
charge last year, but the verdict was
set aside by the Court of Appeals on
the grounds Of error made In the orig
inal trial.

another to be sent to Fechner giving
the director the authority.
Copies of these were put into the
record by Howe The letter he sent
on to Fletcher said ''it has come to my
attention" that kits of better quality
could be bought and that he had seen
the inferior articles" supplied by the
Army.
81 wish you would take charge Of
these purchases and make them directly
as director of the emergency conserva-
ton work, or by using such agencies
as you see fit, SO long as the purchases
are made according to your inStruc-
tions," the letter said.
Asked by Senator Reed, Republican,
of Pennsylvania If he knew Be Vier,
Howe replied, mo, certainly not" He
added that he had not heard of the
kits until Be Vier came in, and during
his statement informed Senators that
he was not purchasing agent and
never had and never will interfere in
any purchase by any Government de-
partment" because this was not his
duty.
Kits Of Inferior Quality.
Committee members said Fechner had
told them the kits supplied by the Army
we're not At for use in instances, and
were Of inferior quality.
Asked by Senators Reynolds, Demo-
crat, of North Carolina If he had in
vestigated to determine II the Army
kits were fit for use in the conserva-
ton camps, Howe replied:
mo. I'm trying to make it clear that
regarded the matter as closed up and

HOUSE SET TO PASS.
RAILROAD MEASURE.

BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The administration, bill to reorganize
the $26, 6,000, ,00O,000 railroad structure
was before the House today, with
passage indicated by tomorrow. It al
ready has passed the Senate, but House
changes viii throw it into conference.
Under procedure adopted in the
House the measure is thrown wide open
for amendments, this being the first
major administration bill that leaders
have permitted to be subjected to such
action.
Chairman Rayburn of the Commerce
Committee and Representative Parker,
Republican, Of New York, the ranking
member, appearing before the
Rules Committee shortly after the bill
mittee, urged that amendments from
the floor be forbidden.
Two Principal Disputes.
Two principal disputes impending lay
In the opposition of some members to
repeal Of the recapture act, under
which the Government has claims to
1851 ,000, 900 of railroad earnings, and
in the House change to the Senate's
labor amendment.
Under this amendment, employees
might not be discharged for economy
purposes and conferences would be held
between representatives of the carriers
and labor on employment and other
mutual problems.
Rayburn explained that the Senate
amendment permitted the railroad
brotherhoods to select committees to
confer with carriers committees, but
that the House modification provided
that the 43 per cent of employees in
independent unions outside the brother
hoods also have committees for the
same purpose.
Would Create CO-ordinatoF.
The measure would create q co-ordi-
nator to effect economies in the rail-
road systems, by abolishing unnecessary
duplication of services and facilities and
bringing about joint use Of terminals
and trackage.
Before approving the Senate bill, the
House Commerce Committee eliminated
several amendments inserted on the
Senate floor.
They included the Norris amendment
providing that no rates should be
greater than would be sufficient to pro-
duce fair and reasonable return upon
the prudent investment in the property
less depreciation, or upon an invest
ment necessary to reproduce the prop
erty.

NEW YORK, June 2 OP.-Frank
Hawks was racing against himself in
his flight from Los Angeles to New
York today.
On june 2s, 1929, Hawks few non
stop from the West Coast to the East
In II hours and 36 minutes. And for
four years that record has stood as the
best nonstop time from California to
New York.
With favorable conditions Hawks
representatives expected him to knock
about seven hours off that old record
today, even though he was said to be
not trying for speed primarily.
Hawks himself has on record bet
ter West-East time for fight with re-
fueling stops. In 1890, with two stops.
he made the distance in IL hours and
rs minutes, beating record established
earlier that year by the Charles A.
Lindberghs of IA hours and As minutes
The present record for a West-East
flight with stops is held by James
Haizlip. In connection with the Bendix
race last year he covered the distance
in 10 hours and 19 minutes.
Hawks representatives felt there was
a possibility he might even beat the
Haizlip time today, but that admit
tedly was hope rather than an expec-
tation, especially as Hawks was not ex-
pected to push his plane to the limit
during his first long test Of the auto

arriving in Brooklyn before nightfall
Hawks did not have time TO say in the
rush of preparations to get away.
Field attendants said the flyer prob
ably would turn the machine over to
the automatic pilot when he had gained
his required altitude He planned to ny
at about $4,000 feet, but had received
good weather reports up to 10000 feet.
The robot pilot was expected to keep
the machine on its course within a
variation Of two degrees es-with much
more exactness than human pilot.
The plane itself had been "revved" up
to 248 miles an hour in speed tests,
but Hawks was expected to fly for the
most part within the cruising range OF
around ZOO His heavy load of gaso-
line necessarily would cut down his
initial speed considerably, to be made
up during the later stages Of the trip
when his load was light.
Hawks said yesterday he would be a
passenger-at-ease in the plane, with his
only official duties those Of navigator.
His course lay over the Grand Can
