DRY AGENT HELD
IN BEATING

Thomas Bailey, chief of the
Federal prohibition force in
southern Maryland, and Lawrence
Mitchell and Linwood Nay, two of
his men, were placed under S100
bond each at Waldorf last night,
pending grand jury action on
charges of assault filed by T. w.

a still raid last week.
According to Martin, the agents
handcuffed him and then
Mitchell beat him with a black
Jack while Bailey and Nay choked
and struck him. The youth
showed several bruises to back
his testimony.
Enraged farmer folk, who bat
tied futilely to get into the
courtroom, broke into cheers
when they heard that the agents
were held. Feeling had been
running high since the charges
we're filed.
Feeling against Mitchell was
particularly strong. Mitchell,
with two other agents, now re-
moved from the territory, were
arrested for an assault on an

Copyright. 1858, by International
News SerViCe)

NEW YORK. June 6 U.N.SD
The 1888 flying derby is en-.
With Smiling Jimmy" Mattern,
American flying ace, setting the
pace in his attempted round-the-
world solo flight, an unusually
large number of daring aviators
men and Women-are making
plans for sensational hops Of the
stunt" variety, which, if success
ful, will crash the page one head
lines.
Eight Daring Attempts
At least eight such flights are
in the offing, some of them to
take place soon. The projected
flights include:
/. A solo flight around the
world by Wiley Post, Oklahoma
aviator, who will try to break
the record he and Harold Gatty
established in 1881, when they
encircled the globe in s days,
Is hours and 81 minutes.
2. A round-trip transatlantic
flight by Roger Q. Williams,
another noted airman.
3. A nonstop solo distance
flight New York to Bishire,
Persia, or Karachi, India "a
maximum of 1900 miles, by
Gen. Francesca De Pinedo, fam
GUS Italian aviator and ex-
plorer.
MollisOn's Plans
4. Triple Flight-A nonstop
hop from London to New York,
Another from New York to
Bagdad, and third, Bagdad to
London, by James A. Mollison
and his wife, the former Amy
johnson, British fliers.
5. Solo nonstop hop from
New York to Warsaw, Poland,
by Stanislaus Hausner, Polish
American flier
6. Solo flight from New
York to Rome by Cesare Sibelli.
7. Transatlantic flight by
Capt. Enrol Boyd and a woman
co-pilot in the plane Columbia,
in which Clarence Chamberlain
made his historic hop.
8. New York to Kaunas,
Lithuania, by Capt. . Stephen
Darius and Stanley Girenas,
Lithuanians.
Perhaps the most spectacular
of all these flights will be Wiley
Posts around-the-World girdle,
which he hopes to accomplish
this time in six days. Post plans
to. take off from Floyd Bennett
Field, Brooklyn, soon after June
20.
Robot to Fly Plane
This time Post is going as a
passenger" A robot, or mechani-
cal man, will fly the plane. The
WaSp-poWered Lockhead Vega, the
same Winnie Mae which he flew
before, has been equipped with a
Sperry automatic pilot, and, while
Post does the navigating, the au-
tomato pilot will fly the plane.
Post proposes to accomplish at
least two new things. He intends
to fly close to $4,000 miles in six
days. He is also planning a non
stop flight from New York to
Berlin, a distance of $500 miles.
He is going to make fewer and
longer hops the rest of the way
around the globe.

ALBANY, July 20 G.N.SO.-De-
spite the admission of police that
their investigation of the kidnap-
ing Of 24-year-old John j. O'Con-
nell, jr., had reached a dead end,
the impression was conveyed by
friends Of the O'Connell family
today that there still is hope the
abducted man will soon be re-
leased.
These friends reflect the feeling
Of Daniel P. O'Connell and Ed
ward j. OConnell, politically pow
erful uncles of the missing Ma
tional Guard lieutenant.
News Of the anticipated "break'
is not expected from the police
When the Flash" comes, it is ex
pected to come from either Dan
or. Ed O'Connell who, since the
kidnapping, have urged authorities
to maintain a hands off" policy
It was they who have handled ne
gotiations designed to bring about
the young mans release.
The police admitted they
haven't a single promising clue as
to the whereabouts of young
O'Connell. The O'Connell case is
now dragging along in much the
same manner as the Lindbergh
