was the first to bring his plane down on the Tagus, anchoring al 1O:4O a. m. EDT. He was followed immediately by eleven other planes. The planes made 8 good nlgnt from the Azores, despite fog on the Portuguese coast. Balbo, the first to take off, left Ponta Delgada at 3:3O a. m., EDT, making the night of 800 miles to Lisbon in seven hours and ten minutes.
 The mishap of the 1-Rani was the second fatal disaster since the squadron left Orbetello, Italy last month. On the landing at Amster- dam, the I-Dini overturned. Kill ing it's mechanic, Sergt. Quinta- valle.
 In the accident to the I-Rani, attributed by Gen. Balbo to "an error in maneuvering," Capt. Ram ieri, Sergt. Major Cremaschi and Sergt, Boveri were slightly injured.
 The accident was caused by the narrow harbor at Ponta Delgada, which forced most of the planes to depart from the open sea. The three squadrons which had based at Horta took off without mishap. Col. Ulisse Longo's squadron re- mained behind for a time at Ponta Delgada to look after the victims of the I-Rani, but later followed the others to Lisbon.
 Lieut.. Squaglia was at first thought to be unhurt, but develop ed cerebral hemorrhage,
 Both body sections of the plane were smashed, although the wings were intact. The plane will be shipped to Italy, leaving only 23 craft to complete the flight to Or betello.
 Lack of harbor facilities caused General Italo Balbo. commanding the "A planes. en route to Italy from the United States, to split his fleet when it arrived in the Azores from Shoal Harbor, N. F. Nine planes, under General Aldo Pelle- grini, landed at Horta on Fayal is- land, 185 miles, west northwest Of Ponta Del Gada, which Is on San Miguel island. Balbo brought the remaining 15 planes here.
 After gay nights entertain ment and five hours sleep the Balbo crews rose at dawn and embarked for the 760 miles flight to Lisbon.
 BalbO'S plane l-Balp, leaulHS tHe flight, left. the water at 5:30 Q. m.. (3:30 a. m. EDT). Nine more fol- lowed, lowering with the I-Balb awaiting the others.
 The eleventh plane, Ranterfs l. Rani, left the water but overturn- ed. It was difficult to see the acci- dent in the early morning haze. Boats put out to the rescue and brought the crew of four ashore.
 First reports to Italian officials were that Ranieri was killed, then that his injuries were grave. Lat CT, however, surgeons at the hos pital to which the crew were taken said that Ranieri was not seriously injured and that Lieut.. Squaglia, suffered from nervous shock.
 Four planes remained in the water after the mishap to I-Rani. one took off at once. Balbo moved off with Il planes toward Lisbon.
 At 2 a. m. (5 a. m.. EDT) the nine planes of the Pellegrini flight section passed over Ponta Del Gada in Balbo's wake. They had left Horta at 5:20 (3:20 EDT.)
 Forty minutes later the last three planes took off, leaving only the crippled I-Rani.

GIRLS' CLUB COMPLETES SUCCESSFUL YEAR
WARNING GIVEN AT OPENING OF
 COAL HEARING


 Washington, Aug 9-(UP)-A warning that arguments or propa- ganda would not be tolerated was given to-day at the beginning of NRA hearings on a code of fair competition for the bituminous coal industry.
 Donald Richberg. MIRA general counsel, told the 700 persons gath cred for the hearing that nothing could be gained by personalities, recriminations or attacks from one party or another"
 Administrator Hugh g. Johnson opened the proceedings with a plea for cooperation. He described the coal industry as "the most dif- ficult industry with which we have had to deal" He said the pur- pose of the hearings was to reach an agreement "as nearly satisfac- tory to as many people as can be had"

Machado follow widely suggested course and ask congress to grant him a "leave of absence" Since the accession of Ferrara, a Machado follower, would not al- leyiate the threats of revolution, 1t was assumed that if Machado re- tired, Ferrara would resign first and another political figure, prob- ably Carlos Manuel De Cespedos, former ambassador to- Mexico, would be named secretary. De Cespedos then would become acting president if Machado withdrew.
 This plan could not be worked out, however, without Feyrara's
 President Machado stood public ly by his insistance that he would not withdraw, and started a coun- er-offensive by radio broadcasts attacking United States activity.
 The broadcasts called upon Cubans to resist United States in- tervention."
 The food supply of Havana drop ped rapidly. Milk delivery had stopped. Meat supplies were gem orally exhausted and few fresh vegetables were available.
 Announcing in a firmly worded public statement that he was and would continue to be president, he asserted that political troubles were being magnified because Cuba was a small country in which great for -eign capital was invested.
 Information from usually reliable sources. but unconfirmed, said American Ambassador Sumner Welles had demanded that Machado apply for a leave of ab- sence by noon today on penalty of American intervention, and that Machado, in refusing, had intimat- ed broadly American intervention would be opposed-if necessary by the army.
 The reports of pistols, rifles and machine guns in street fighting and the dissemination of radio propa- ganda attacking Welles marked during the night the grave develop ment of the crisis precipitated a week ago by strike of omnibus drivers ostensibly against high taxes.

Mrs Costello
 Won Big Point
tcontinued from Page 1.)

Dr. Alexander o. Gettler of New York, star medical expert for the defense, had given testimony in- tended to show that Captain Cos tello might have died from the ac- cidental absorption of cyanide through the skin.
 It was Dr. Gettler's testimony that such absorption certainly could cause death if it occurred through a cut in the flesh, brought an objection from Assistant Dis trict Attorney John J. Ryan, who asked that the testimony be ex- cluded because there had been no Costello's body.
 Judge Fosdick said he based his decision on the testimony of Dr.. George Burgess Magrath, star state medical expert, that he found a slight scratch or mark on Cos tello's little finger. The judge said 1t was not for him to decide whether this scratch occurred be- fore or after death.
 In cross-examination of Dr. Get tier, Ryan drew from him an ad- mission that the so-called Prussian Blue reaction was an infallible test for cyanide. State medical ex- perts had testified to using the Prussian Blue test to discover cyanide in the various organs.
 Ryan questioned Dr. Gettler as to his reason for saying that con ditions shown by the autopsy were not consistent with death by cya- hide taken in capsule.
 'If such a capsule were taken through the mouth and the victim died fast would find 90 per cent of the cyanide in the stomach said Dr. Gettler, land Dr. Rooney Estate medical expert) found no cyanide either in the stomach or in the stomach contents" Did you have in mind that Dr. Rooney did not say. he distilled the formal dehyde?"
 Dr. Gettler said he also took in- to consideration the strength of the formaldehyde solution used in embalming the body, and declared that all this did not change his opinion that death was inconsistent with cyanide taken in a capsule.
 Why haven't you changed your opinion
 "The stomach was not washed out thoroughly because he found a gelatinous substance there, and If cyanide had been there the cya- hide would have been present in the gelatinous substance"
 You know that the doctor did not analyze the gelatinous sub- stance?"
 "So he testified"
 "Would it change your opinion any if there had been potassium cyanide in the gelatinous sub- stance?"
 certainly"

amounting to $466.75, brings the grand total to $5,834.41.
 It is figured that the job just completed is the finest done on the City Hall building. The cornices leaked from time to time and were repaired but this job Is considered very substantial and permanent one, according to various city off- cials talked with.
 The workmen completed their operations two weeks ago although they started their work during the first week of November, 1882. The fact that the city had the work done on a "cost plus" basis saved the municipality much money. 1t Is figured. because had the job been left out on an outright contract nrice the contractor would have figured oh more than $466.76 profit for work running from last November up to two weeks ago.

WOOlen Industry
 Center Improves
(Continued from Page l.)

and, Monday August D a majority
 of it's miles of woolen mills began
 operating on the new code. which
 calls for a minimum of $14 a week
 Lone dollar more than the cotton
 workers, receive.
 l With these two Instructions to
 revival swept away Lawrence
 counts on an almost immediate speeding up of trade, resulting from three factors:
 l. An increased payroll of from $50,000 to $75,000 week. 2. A spread of labor by which | $4,00O workers will have new jobs. 8. The re-establishment of con- fidence and credit, reflected in the payment of old bills and increased trade with all mercantile establish
 ments.
 The woolen manufacturing in- dustry is centered in Lawrence, but its spread includes suburban I factory towns throughout the nine- mile stretch of the Merrimack Valley from Lawell, northward to Collinsville, and southward to Bill | erica and Chelmsford.
 Officials of the American Woolen Company, largest of the Lawrence
 manufacturing group. will make
 no official predictions as to the re-
 suit of the code, but at least one phase of it, they admit, affords
 satisfaction-the promise of an absence of labor troubles. The chief attack of textile labor
 against the operators has found it's outlet, in past years.s in Lawrence. It is here that the most disastrous
 strikes. the most costly lockouts,
 have occurred. Manufacturers are
 replying on the code to prevent, for a year at least, any manifesto workers who will enjoy the $14 employment.
 There is actually a sortage of labor in some branches of the
 woolen industry. A mill hand from Lowell, trying Lawrence after he had failed to get one of the 2,000 jobs thrown open by the cotton l code, went to the American woolen mills employment office. "Can you weaver" he was asked. | No, he couldn't weave. ] Sorry" said the foreman, If you could weave, you could take your coat off and go to work this
 instant"
 The hope of industrial revival
 has, however, brought back to
 Lawrence at least 5000 workers
 who scattered to farms or drifted back to Canada--whence many of
 them came originally.
 l The real estate business in Law
 renee spurted' last month. parti- | cularly in rentals of small tene-
 ments $15 to $20 a month. "When the mills closed down, thousands of young married couples doubled up or went to live with
 relatives" real estate dealers ex- plain. with the news jobs, and the promise of more jobs, hund- derds of these younger people are
 once. more setting up their own homes"
 The process of setting up new homes entails the purchasing.
 largely on credit, of new furniture
 kitchen appliances and semi-lux- uries. This is reflected in a gain
 of 1S per cent in retail sales over June of last year. Merchants ex- ! pect the gains to be extended into
 the fall.
 As in Lowell and Manchester. one of the marked phenomena ac- companying the revival is the rush
 of miN operatives to pay up past
 bils and contract new obligations. Hundreds of workers have present.

 the moral courage to give his ol
 her name," remarked MT Greer
 this morning.
 It has been Mir Greens expert. ences that hundreds of Waterbury employers are not only comply. ing with the spirit of the act, but have exceeded expectations of gov ernment officials. This city is
 responding magnanimously to the cali of President Roosevelt. Nearly
 1000 firms have signed the cer- tifcate of compliance and are elig- ible to display the official MIRA
 Blue Eagle.
 It is more than likely that a few, while protesting to live up to their promises, have resorted to subter- fuges. Secretary Green stated to- day that committees will investi- gate reliable reports and will urge the guilty ones to amend their &C., tions or face public exposure.
 A meeting of local furniture dealers was held this morning to discuss certain features of the code they have adopted and to consider local conditions. The Shoe Rebuilders association will meet Thursday evening to com- plete their work of organization.
 Scores of local firms continue to announce wage increases and the employment of additional help. The chamber is maintaining a rec ord of these business establish mcnts. It will be a record of pa- triOtic coODeration

them, was seriously wounded.
 A fourth policeman was killed near the university.
 The government seized radio sta- ton CMAF and established two block military zone around it. Machado was expected to use 1t for propaganda against Ambassador Welles particularly and the idea of American intervention generally.
 Anti-Welles and anti-American propaganda was broadcast from several stations last night and was reported to emanate from govern ment sources, though the govern ment denied it's own station was in- volved.
 One unidentified broadcaster del clared Welles was siding with members of opposition parties, ap1 pealed to Latin American nationa for support. and urged Cubans td unite in aid of the army in even of foreign intervention.
 Representatives of the chambeH of deputies liberal parliamentarv committee were understood to hav4 approved g motion, introduces d Monday, to declare Ambassadd& Welles persona non grata and t9 appeal to the United States govern4 ment against his activities. Despite the murder of policemenl here. and killings and woundings| of policemen and civilians in riotsI in the provinces, political develop ments featured the latest phase cd the crisis.
 wclles had a long conference with General Machado. He refused to discuss 1t in detail. He did say that he had not delivered arl ultimatum to Machado and that he did not believe the mediation he| recently arranged between govern dead. .l Unconfirmed reports which emanated from various sources were that Welles had demanded Machado's departure, either by res- ignation or the less bitter alterna- i've of a leave of absence, and that Carlos Manuel De Cespedos, former ambassador to Mexico, be named secretary of state at once so De Cespedcs would succeed him.
 Machado was said to have re. fused on the ground that De Cespedos was too weak, and to have suggested that another man be named secretary if anyone were e named. .
 These same reports said Machado had told Welles he had been accept ed as mediator, but, not to im- pose conditions. on a sovereign na- ton. /
 Orestes Ferrara, present secre- tary of state. was due here today, from New York to advise Machado. He has persistently urged Machado not to resign byt to fight 1t out.
