Wednesday.—Captain Arrachart and his brother, who recently attempted to establish a new world’s record for non-stop flying between Paris and Irkutsk but who were forced down at Nyazapetrovsk, near Ekaterinburg, met with an accident this morning on their return trip to Paris. In taking off near Moscow the big plane suddenly went into a wing-slip just as it left the ground and it crashed. The two airmen were injured but not seriously. The plane was wrecked. Medical attention was rushed to the fliers and they are now reported to be resting comfortably. AMERICAN NAVY AÉROPLANES MAY TRY NON-STOP FLIGHT WASHINGTON, Wednesday.—An attempt to make a non-stop flight from Hampton Roads to Colon, Panama Canal Zone, via Cuba, has been authorized by the Navy Department. Two Navy aéroplanes will set out next Tuesday, if the weather be suitable. MADAGASCAR FLIGHT STARTED BY FRENCH Two French seaplanes, piloted by Lieutenants Guilbaud and Bernard, reached Tangier yesterday afternoon on the first stage of a 15,000 kilomètre flight over Africa to Madagascar. They took off yesterday morning from the Etang de Berre, near Marseilles (Bouches-du-Rhône). The airmen hope to arrive at their destination within forty days, making about twenty landings. Their course follows the coast of West Africa, a halt in the Canaries, up the valley of the Niger, over the Belgian Congo to Lake Nyassa, the Zambesi and Majunga, to Madagascar. Should the voyage be successfully accomplished the fliers intend to return by approximately the same route. TWO BRITISH HELD BY KURDS SET FREE AFTER FOUR MONTHS BAGDAD, Wednesday.—After four months of captivity in the hands of the Kurdish rebel chief, Sheikh Mahomed, Flying Officer Denny and his mechanic, Hirst, have been returned to the British Lines.

They both declared themselves satisfied with the treatment that they received in the fastnesses of Kurdistan. AFRICAN MINERS STILL ENTOMBED CAPETOWN, Wednesday.—Continuous work by rescue parties for nearly six days has failed to penetrate into the gallery of the Tannhauser mine, near Durban, where five white men and 150 natives are trapped, as a result of a short circuit on Friday. An electrician’s helper who reached the surface said that the explosion occurred when the electrician, holding the live cable, stumbled and dropped it upon the rails. This helper died two hours after being rescued. The rescuers could not get into the mine until early on Friday evening, because of the lingering gas. Four bodies were brought up by noon on Saturday and two more were found on Sunday morning, but the majority of the men are trapped behind a wall of rock brought down by the explosion. A rescue worker engaged in removing bodies died from the effect of poisonous gas yesterday afternoon, and three others were overcome by the fumes which poured from the mine.

HIS TESTIMONY SOUGHT DAVID C. STEPHENSON LEGION TRIP TO FRANCE IS ASSURED Philadelphia Convention Enthusiastic After French Government Extends Invitation (Paris Times Spécial) PHILADELPHIA, Wednesday.—A vote of the American Légion, in national convention here, reaffirming its intention of holding its next Convention in Paris, is assured after the messages from the French Government presented yesterday afternoon by Colonel Picot. Warm invitations to the Légionnaires to gather in Paris on the tenth anniversary of their war-time expedition to France were extended by President Doumergue, M. Poincaré, M. Briand, and Marshal Foch. The Légion men cheered for many minutes after the messages were read. Opposition to holding the convention in France developed in some Légion Posts this summer after anti-foreign demonstrations in Paris. Kansas Posts voted against the convention and the Indiana Légionnaires discussed the advisability of making the trip. Colonel Picot spoke before the Légion convention as a French guest. M. Jacques Truelle, Attaché at the French Embassy in Washington, gave official assurance of the welcome of his Government. Four ships of the United States Lines have been offered to the Légion to transport delegates to the Paris convention, a committee reported. They are the Leviathan, the President Harding, the President Roosevelt, and the Republic. Delegates from Paris Post reported that four thousand reservations for hotel rooms have already been received in Paris. The Marne taxi, one of the two survivors of those which transported General Gallieni's army to the Battle of the Marne in 1914, is creating a genuine sensation in Philadelphia and in the cities through which it passed on the way from

The taxi is driven by delegates from Paris Post to the convention. It has been on display in the court of the John Wanamaker store here; it will be returned to the Renault Company in Paris after the convention. After the session yesterday afternoon, the Légionnaires were reviewed at the Sesquicentennial Stadium by General Pershing, Vice-President Charles G. Dawes, and Governor Pinchot. A celebration in the streets of Philadelphia lasted until almost daybreak today. CHICAGO GANG WAR VICTIM NEAR DEATH CHICAGO, Wednesday. — Gang warfare here is likely to claim another victim, as no hope is held for the life of Mr. W. W. O’Brien, the noted criminal lawyer and a former Assistant Public Prosecutor, who was shot in the stomach on Monday afternoon when gangsters opened fire with machine guns and rifles on rival leaders, killing two of them and seriously wounding two others. The dead are Earl “Hymie” Weiss, gang leader, and Paddy Murray, professional gunman. The attack occurred in front of Holy Name Cathedral soon after Mr. O’Brien had left the court where he was selecting a jury to try his client, Joe Saltis, leader of a gang of beer runners, charged with Lefty Connell

The attack occurred in front of Holy Name Cathedral soon after Mr. O’Brien had left the court where he was selecting a jury to try his client, Joe Saltis, leader of a gang of beer runners, charged with Lefty Connell with the murder of Mitters Foley, leader of another gang. The attack probably came from members of Foley’s gang, interested in preventing the defense of the man who killed their chief.

Wednesday.—Disclosures involving high officials in the Government of the State are expected to be made by David G. Stephenson, the former Grand Dragon of the Ku Klux Klan in Indiana, who is now serving a long sentence for an attack on a girl which was followed by her suicide. He is being taken from prison to testify before the Grand Jury engaged in investigating charges of corruption in which the Klan was concerned. Subpoenas Issued. At the same time with the subpoena to Stephenson and the order to the warden of his prison to produce him before the Grand Jury, the Attorney General of the State issued other subpoenas to Earl Gentry and Earl Klenck. They were henchmen for Stephenson when he was at the height of his power once apparently supreme in Indiana. They will also be called upon to testify regarding the exact extent and nature of Ku Klux Klan influence before and after Stephenson’s arrest and his conviction a year and more ago after a hard-fought trial. The Attorney General, in response to demands of newspapers that the entire Klan organization be bared, has promised to present all possible evidence to the Grand Jury with which he is working. But some other newspapers have suggested since the jury was called that the Klan is strong enough to sway a majority of its members.

But some other newspapers have suggested since the jury was called that the Klan is strong enough to sway a majority of its members. Indiana has experienced a series of sensational cases involving the Klan since the downfall of Stephenson, who for years was one of the most efficient organizers for the order in the country. The present investigation is in response to a public opinion that has been greatly aroused. Senate Action Talked. If either Klan or anti-Klan adherents can bring any important complaint after the Grand Jury has finished its work, a legislative inquiry will be sought again by a group of State Senators numbering twenty or more. These men have been in favor of such action from the start but have been opposed by a majority of the Senate. For months past, newspaper editors in Indiana have been declaring that a “super-government” by the Klan existed and that it had more power than the officials chosen under the Constitution. Several of these editors will be called to give the Grand Jury the evidence on which they base the charges. One head of a leading newspaper in Vincennes has already been subpoenaed. Interest in the situation of this State became national last summer when Mr. George R. Dale, editor and publisher of a weekly in Muncie, asked financial aid in securing his release from prison. His case will go to the United States Supreme Court this month on appeal. Has Lost His Fortune. Mr. Dale’s

His case will go to the United States Supreme Court this month on appeal. Has Lost His Fortune. Mr. Dale’s arrest on a charge of carrying concealed weapons followed a long and bitter fight between his newspaper and the Klan. During his trial on this charge he published an article accusing the judge, jury, and prosecuting attorney of being Klansmen. The judge at once sentenced him for contempt of court. From the county jail, Mr. Dale filed notice of appeal, alleging that his statements had been true. This notice of appeal was held by the same judge to be in contempt. Finally the State Supreme Court set aside the second decision but sustained the first one. Mr. Dale has lost his personal fortune of $20,000, his newspaper, and his home during the fight. His last appeal is being paid for out of a fund raised by public subscription. WASHINGTON TALKS OF NEED FOR FEDERAL ANTI-LYNCHING LAW WASHINGTON.—Talk of the need for a Federal anti-lynching law has been revived here as the result of the lynching of three negroes, one of them a woman, at Aiken, South Carolina, on Friday, and the recent lynching of a negro in Tennessee. No action is being taken by Aiken authorities against the citizens in the mob which shot the three negroes. The coroner’s jury

The coroner’s jury reported that they met their death at the hands of “bands of unknown parties.” METROPOLITAN OPERA BOXES SELL FOR $200,000 EACH NEW YORK, Wednesday.—Two parterre boxes in the Metropolitan Opera House are reported to have been sold for $200,000 each. They belonged formerly to the late August Belmont and William K. Vanderbilt and his brother. They were bought by Mr. F. Frazier Jelke and Mr. Robert Brewster. Ownership of a parterre box carries with it possession of one thirty-fifth of the stock in the Metropolitan Opera and Real Estate Company. Subscribers may have THE PARIS TIMES sent to them while travelling at no extra cost. ADVERTISING RATES. THE PARIS TIMES guarantees that no advertiser obtains rates other than those quoted to all prospective clients and printed upon the rate card. Considering the wide distribution of THE PARIS TIMES and its importance on the Continent of Europe, the rates are the lowest of any English-language newspaper.

If to straddle or avoid an issue seems to promise more in the way of vote-getting, it will never be frankly met. It may be doubted whether the Prohibition question, so widely adopted in the United States, could be made a single issue in a national election.” —Christian Science Monitor. “For Europe, the influx of American tourists is a golden flood which justifies the earnest efforts to develop it in these post-war years. It is by far the largest of the invisible items in the balance of trade between the two continents; indeed, the visible French exports to the United States in 1924 were only about three-fifths as much as the tourist payments. Yet we profit quite as much as the Europeans. The cultural and social benefits are such that we can cheerfully watch our annual stream of sojourners in Europe mount to twice its present volume.” — New York World. ONE TRAP CATCHES 40,000 MACKEREL HARBORS, Nova Scotia.— Forty thousand mackerel in one trap! This phenomenal catch was reported here by Captain G. Harnish, of Southwest Island. The large trap in which they were caught was carried far underneath the surface of the water by the crowding fish. The mackerel came in unexpectedly, moving in a dense shoal along

Only a few fishermen were prepared for them, as seines and traps were being repaired after a storm. More Postage Stamps MANY NEW ISSUES. “Workers of the world, unite,” reads the slogan of the Communists, born of the Marxian conception of a world uprising of “convicts of hunger,” snapping their capitalistic shackles and reorganizing the universe on principles which are not working out too well in Russia. There is indeed a certain solidarity among those who work with their hands, but recent events in England and Belgium would indicate that it is scarcely a Marxian solidarity; for the working man, in spite of some of his leaders, is not devoid of sense. The British laborer has at times appeared susceptible to the doctrines of Communism. The general strike of last May and the irreconcilable attitude of the coal-miners in the present strike have brought the all-condemning word “Bolshevism” to the lips of critics. Yet at the National Conference of the British Labor Party now in session at Margate, the disaffiliation of Communists from the Labor movement was maintained by the overwhelming vote of 3,414,000 to 209,000. The Belgian elections of last Sunday showed a similar tendency. The Municipal
