BRITISH, FRENCH
 TRAIN TOGETHER
Great Demonstration of Two Air Fleets Held Over
 France Today

Paris, July 25-(UP)-British and French air fleets. training to act as a unit in event of war, held dram atic and unprecedented joint man. euvers over France today on the 30th anniversary of the first flight over the English channel by the late Louis Bleriot.
 Two hundred and forty British bombing planes took off from their bases this morning under sealed or ders which, opened in the air by plane commandants, brought them to France.
 AS they crossed the coast, a test air alarm sent hundreds of French combat planes from bases all over the area to intercept them as if they had been an enemy fleet, and thus the air forces of the two great peace front powers trained frankly to- gether
 The British planes came over the coast in waves as enemy planes would in war time.
 Two columns of 20 British planes each flew over Paris and turned southward.
 Most of the planes headed for Lyons, then flew down to the Bay of Biscay and along the Pyrenees to the Mediterranean, to return to Great Britain nonstop
 As in previous test liigfts, the dis tance flown would have been suffi- cient to take the planes over most of Germany.

JAP BLOCKADE
 IS EXTENDING
Rich Foreign Area of Can- ton May Be Included By
 Latest Order
By ROBERT BELLAIRE United Press Staff COrrespondent)


 Shanghai, July 25-(UP)-Exten- sion of the Japanese blockade cam- paign to Shameen, the rich foreign area of Canton, was feared today as Japanese authorities announced that the Pearl river would be closed to navigation effective at once.
 The Japanese order, issued at Hong Kong this morning, gave no- tice that the river would be closed flor approximately two weeks, due to military operations"
 It was reoprted at Hong Kong that the Japanese intended to search all persons who left or en- tered the Shameen area, as they have done at the blockaded British concession at Tients.n.
 American and British sources at Hong Kong interpreted the order as presaging a blockade of the Sham cen district, Hong Kong dispatches said.
 Shameen is built on a sand pit, separated from Canton proper by a narrow channel and joined to it by bridges. It has been the foreign area of Canton, China's commercial capital of the south, for nearly 80 years.
 If they blockade 1t, the Japanese would be making @ further move to close in on Hong Kong, Great Brit aims naval base for the far east, which lies 60 miles from Canton at the mouth of the Pearl river. Further, foreigners have long an- ticipaetd an eventual Japanese drive to take control of the International Settlement of Shanghai, greatest city of China and one of the worlds great ports.
 The foreign settlement was in- volved today in what appeared to be 8 dispute between the Japanese navy and the Japanese army.
 By orders of the Chinese Mayor of the Japarese-sponsored munich pal regime in Shanghai proper, bcdyguards yesterday seized 28 trucks of the international settle ment administration, and arrested a Briton, a German, Russian and 125 Chimes" with them, for dump ing garbage in the Japanese -occu- pied Chape! area. Later 1t was learned that the mayor was acting under Japanese armym orders but

SUB SALVAGE TO
 RESUME TODAY

Portsmouth, N. H., July 25. - (UP) - Divers were expected to resume work on the sunken sub marine Squalus today after a lay off caused by dense fog and a heavy ground swell.
 The fog baked diving operations early yesterday, and when it cleared, the ground swell prevented divers from reaching the submersible, 40 fathoms beneath the surface.
 Navy officials, however, contin- ued preparatory work on the surface in the second attempt to raise the Squalus which sank May g with loss of 26 lives.
 Meanwhile. an attempt of alleged New York racketeers to seek solici- tations for the Squalus Benefit Concert was thwarted by the arrest fthree men in Boston. The con- cert will be given by the Boston Symphony Orchestra at the Little Boar's Head. estate of of Arthur L Hobson Sunday.

 Automobile traffic to Hartford had to be rerouted through the center of Bristol and cars headed for the center of the city had to be rerouted by way of Maple street. The mis- hap occurred i50 feet north of Doo- little crossing at Pennington ave- nue and North street shortly before g o'clock. No one was injured in the accident.

APPOINTMENT IS
 NOT YET MADE
Mayor Not to Name Row. land Successor Now; No
 Confirmation Needed

Mayor Frank Hayes, who is vested with the power of appointing suc- cessor to the late Controller Sher- wood L. Rowland, said today that he will take no immediate action in that direction. Having been out of town overnight, Mayor Hayes did not learn of the death of MT. Row. land until this morning. T am very sorry to hear of his death," he said.
 No confirmation by the board of aldermen will be necessary for May or Hayes appointment, although Republican Town Chairman J. War ren Upson is reported to have sug- gested such legislation during the 1889 General Assembly.
 Amendments to the city charter passed during the last session of the General Assembly included one related to succession of elective of- fices in the case of vacancies, but they provide no change to the pro- cedure under the 1881 charter
 Section 67 of the charter amend ments provides as follows: "Section 25 of said charter is amended 10 read as follows: Whenever any elec- tive office of the city, other than that of mayor, shall become vacant by reason of the death, resignation, inability, disability or removal of the person elected or appointed to fill the same, his successor shall be appointed by the mayor for the un- expired portion of the term"
 It is understood that the Upson sponsored legislation would have re- quired that the mayors appoint ment be approved by the board of aldermen. Temporary appointments would lapse at subsequent meet ing of the board of aldermen.
 Although former Controller Row. land was dead but a few hours, and the flag of city hall flew at half mast in respect to him. speculation was rife about the city as to what reaction his death would cause to the present set-up of the control- ler's office.
 Ever since he took office. Janu- ary 3, 1888. Controller Rowland had been at odds with Mayor Frank Hayes and other members of the

 Washington, July 25.-(UP)- President Roosevelt returned to the capital today for the windup of con- gress with his political partnership with Postmaster General James A.. Farley still intact but not publicly insured against future rupture.
 He motored to the White House to confer with the house and sen- ate majority leaders, Rep. Sam Ray burn, D., Tex, and Senator Alben w. Barkley, D., Ky. The confer ence was expected to develop a full review of the legislative situation and MT. Roosevelt will learn at first hand the prospects for administra- ton bills in the adjournament rush. He will stay in Washington until congress leaves.
 A weekend of speculation over the third term question ended in 6 meeting between MT. Roosevelt and Farley at Hyde Park and an unilluminating statement from the president.
 Farley previously had implied that the report of third term break had been inspired" It Is under stood that some Of Farley's asso- ciates felt that an earlier story say- ing that New Dealers wanted to oust him from his cabinet job also had been planted-but without impugn- ing the good faith of the reporter who wrote it.

 Two Doctors Attend
 Dr. Charles Engelke and Dr. o. M. Bizzozero were in constant att tendance at his home yesterday and his uncle, Dr. Edward R. Lamp son of Hartford, was called in as consultant. MT. Rowland returned from Waterbury hospital @ short time ago, after seven weeks of treat ment, which apparently had placed him on the road to recovery.
 A Republican, MT. Rowland was elected to office in 1897 by 8 plural ity of B votes over Daniel J. Leary, a Democrat, in the most turbulent election in the history of Waterbury. Since assuming office he had been at almost constant odds with the Democratic administration.
 Charged Records Missing
 Less than a week after MT. Row land succeeded MT. Leary in office he made charges of missing records and demands for audits which sub- sequently led to the impanelling of 8 grand jury. The grand jury in- formed against 27 men, 20 of whom
