The offer of Warren Youngclas,

to drop from a plane to the "Ole

drop by parachute to the ground
was appreciated but refused by
the flying Keys.
Col. Roscoe Turner, famous

the "Ole Miss" said the engine
performance was one of the great
est in aviation history.
Fathers Asks Landing
DR.. E. B. Key, father of the
filters, was said to have demanded
that they land after passing the
Jackson-O'Brien mark. From
reliable source it was learned he
threatened to hold up the refuel-

DR.. Key feels that once they
have passed the unofficial record

their record, there would be no
good reason for continuing alott.

DEATH TRIAL
DELAYED
Only II Prospective Jurors
Left After Challenges;
County Is Secured

LEESBURG, Va, July delay
in the trial of "Old Tom" Quesen-
berry, mountain moonshiners
charged with murder, was forced
today when the original panel Of
26 prospective jurors was ex-
hausted before the jury had been
completed.
Court was adjourned until TO-
morrow morning when an attempt
will be made to complete the jury
to try Quesenberry on charge of
numbering Clarence, j. McCleary,
Alexandria policeman. McCleary
was killed on March II when he
accompanied a posse searching for
Quesenberry in connection with
the shooting of George Kirkpat-
rick, Federal prohibition agent,
wounded in the course of a raid
on the mountaineer's still the day
before.
According to the laws of Vir-
ginia 20 prospective jurors are
selected. State and defense chal-
Ienges eliminated, all but II of
the 20 prospective jurors chosen
this morning. Judge j. RI II.
Alexander accordingly adjourned
the Loudoun County Circuit Court
so the county could be secured
for additional veniremen this
afternoon.
AS court opened this morning,
defense attorneys sought to have
the indictment quashed and
argued IL points of a plea of
abatement which alleged that the
grand jury was improperly
selected. Judge ]. R. H. Alexan-
der overruled the motion and
Quesenberry was called upon to
plead to the indictment.
With his hand cupping his ear,
he listened to the clerk read the
charge and then, when asked his
plea. quaVered:
mot guilty."
AS Judge Alexander questioned
the prospective jurors, many of
them said that they were opposed
to capital punishment, the pos
sible penalty for Quesenberry in
the event of conviction, while
others admitted they had formed
definite opinions of his guilt or
innocence. These men were eX-
cused so that many of them could
return to their wheat fields now
being harvested.
AS the proceedings moved
slowly along this morning, Quesen'
berry sat by his counsel apparently
unmoved by the thought that he
is on trial for his life.
Unlike the day when he was first
arrested, QueSenberry was clean

With excitement so great that
presiding officers had difficulty
in maintaining order, the House
today moved toward a showdown
vote on President RooSevelt'S de-
mand that utility holding COM
panies be outlawed.
Realizing that for the first
time this session there was a
strong possibility that the over
whelmingly Democratic House
may repudiate Mr.. Roosevelt,
members kept up a noisy hubbub

The issue-whether the House
should restore section II of the
Utility bill, which carries the
death sentence" for giant hold
ing companies-was to be decided
on q teller vote in committee OF
the whole. ...
Rules Ignored
Representative Warren CD OF
North Carolina, presiding, ham
mered his gavel repeatedly.
Members, usually restrained in
debate, brushed aside rules OF
decerum as they vented their
feelings on the issue.
Representative Andrews tRo of
New York charged that President
Roosevelt's contract man. former
Representative Charles West, was
lobbying and intimated that the
administrator threatened to de-
prive recalcitrant members OF
post office appointment.
Representative Cooper (R0,
Ohio, declared President Roose-
welt had changed his mind since
he was governor of New York,
while Representative May CD,
Kentucky, accused the President
of abandoning the Democratic
platform of 1882.
Representative Starnes d.,
Oregon, and others assailed big
utility holding companies as "crea-
lures of Wall Street" and declared
that President Roosevelt's leader
ship rose to new heights in an ef-
fort to destroy them.

choosing regulation instead OF
dissolution of the holding COM

it was quite likely they'd get tired of seeing
Mrs. McGoverns little boy around. As soon
as the old man showed them the yacht, it
would be the same with him. Well. he'd have
to watch that. If they didn't find the cash,
there was going to be lot of explaining to do
to the port authorities at Tampa for sailing

Tampa and the port authorities could jump
