FOR PAROLE

John E. Hoeppel, former Repre-
sentative from California, and his
son, Charles Hoeppel, were sched-
uled for a hearing before the Dis
trict Parole Board today at the
District Reformatory, Lorton, Va.
Father and son were sent to
prison last November convicted Of
conspiracy to sell an appointment
to West Point. They were given
prison terms of from four to IL
months each. Having served q
short period beyond their mini
mum sentence, the two are eligible
for parole, as they are first Of
tenders and in such cases, the
parole board has tended toward
leniency.
Since their incarceration, the
two have been permitted to sleep
in q dormitory with the first Of
tenders, rather than in cells.
Prison officials said Hoeppel is the
first member Of Congress ever to
serve q sentence at Lorton.

OCEAN AIRLINE
T0INAUGURATE.
SERVICE SOON

Transatlantic air service on a
regular weekly New York-London
schedule will be inauguarated
within few days, Department OF
Commerce officials declared last
night.
j. Monroe johnson. Assistant
Secretary of Commerce, in a note
to Canadian officials, formally
placed the United States stamp
of approval on plans worked out
by the two governments in recent
weeks.
Must Use New York
The agreement provides that all
planes operated by American Air
Lines must use New York city as
the western terminal. Canadian
and British planes may land
either at New York or Montreal, or
at both cities.
Controversy as to whether New
York or Montreal should be the
western terminal had held up
agreement between the United
States and Canada for several
months. The compromise was
worked out in an exchange OF
notes between the two countries.
The initial trail-blazing flight
OF a regular commercial plane over
the Atlantic will be completed
within a week, it was said, by
20-ton British flying boat now in
the Azores.
Two Routes
The plane has been standing by
awaiting contamination Of the bl-
lateral agreement before complet-
ing the final leg of a 3,500-mile
hop from London to New York.
Final plans include two routes.
A summer route following the
great circle between New York
and London with refueling stops
at Botwood, Newfoundland, and
a base near the mouth of the River
Shannon, in Ireland. and a winter
schedule via Bermuda, the Azores
and then a long hop to London.
= johnson asserted the service at
first will be primarily experiment
tai flights, and that regular mail
service will not be set up until the
middle of summer.
Passenger Service
Regular passenger service will
be held up until the summer of
1888, he said.
Asked if the Atlantic is more
hazardous than the Pacific, over
which Pan-American clipper ships
fly on regular schedule. johnson
said:
mo, indeed. The Atlantic ap-
pears more difficult because of
all the stunt flights attempted
but which ended in disaster.
But for the type of commercial
ships we have now, it is moth

a picture of Jesus such as no other

quite clearly stated in what is the
Keynote of his message, in chapter
~, verse 81: These are written, that
we might believe that Jesus is the
Christ, the Son of God; and that be-
Levlng We might have life through his
name" True to this purpose, he traces
Christ's genealogy not from Abraham,
as Matthew does, nor back to Adam.
as Luke does, but back to God in the
enternities: %In the beginning was.
the Word, and the Word was with
God, and the Word was Cod So
Johns is the gospel of Christ's deity,
as Luke's is the gospel of his human
ity, and Matthew's Of his kingship
and Marks of his stewardship. He
tells of the mystery of the incarna-
ton of deity in humanity in the sim
pie words, THE Word became flesh
and dwelt among us (and we behold
his glory glory as of the only begot-
ten from the Father, full Of grace
and truth"

OF which only one had been mention

right to make such claims as none
