WILBUR CALLS
FOR AIR LAWS
Say's Navy Cannot Continue Costly
Searches for Foolish Flyers.
Charlotte, N. CL, Hept. 10.—Govern
mental regulation* of trans-oceanic
or other long distance flying was de
clared essential tonight by Curtis D.
Wilbur, Secretary of the. Navy, if
human life is to be safeguarded and
any constructive stimulus given to the
science of n,viation.
Secretary Wilbur, en route to Wash
ington after an inspection of the PacK ;
tic fleet, was interviewed at th. Dome
of Stuart Cramer, at Oramerron. tex
tile manufacturer and fo«mei* class
mate at Annapolis, where he is a
visitor. He plans to leave Monday
for the capital.
General unpreparedness and inade
quate equipment for harzardous flights,
which place human life in jeopardy
and can, even if successful, contribute'
little or nothing to aerial science, were
referred t* by Secretary Wilbur as
cause to warrant governmental
supervision of details of such adven
turous enterprises.
One procedure, he suggested, would
be for a properly constituted board
to refuse both governmental sanction
and passports to any person deemed,
on examination, unqualified to under
take an oceanic flight.
“The Navy cannot continue,”
“searching for victims of ‘stunt’ flights
which culminate in distress at sea”
adding that inasmuch as public money
was involved in such searches, it was
but natural and proper that govern
mental regulation should be applied
to the matter the same as in other
activities.
FLOOD CONTROL WORK
TO BE STOPPED SOON
Comptroller General McCarl Refuses
Appropriation to Carry Out the
Program.
Memphis, Tenn., Sept. 10. —Flood
control work in the Mississippi valley
received a setback today with the
decision of Comptroller General Mc-
Carl refusing to divert to the war
department a' $2,000,000 rivers and
harbors appropriation surplus for that
purpose.
While contracts for the closing of
crevasses have been let, it was pointed
out by Major Donald H. Connolly,
United States engineer in charge of
the first and second riyer districts,
that had the additional funds become
available, this work could have been
completed sooner. All working time
between now and the neit flood season
is needed in taking precautions against
high water, it was explained.
A favorable decision by Mr. McCarl,
engineers said, would have enabled
them to put in revetment work at
places where the caving river banks
are getting dangerously close to the
levee. * .
It will be necessary now, in Major
Connolly’s opinion, to “take a chance”
on the caving not progressing fast
enough to destory the levee before
there'are funds and time for the work.
INJURIES HIT TAR HEEL CAMP.
Four Men Listed as “Cripples” at
Training Camp of Carolina Eleven.
Chapel Hill, Sept. 10.—The Univer
sity of North Carolina football mentors
had planned a scrimmage for their
proteges this afternoo, but the heavy
rains of last night left the field so
soggy that the scrimmage was post
poned. Instead, the Tar Heels went
through a strenuous session in the
morning, with the backs and ends
getting a taste of scrimmage work.
Then this afternoon the coaches light
ened the work and had the men in
track togs again for further drill in
fundamentals. . .
As the first week of practice closes,
the Carolina hospital list shows four
names. George McDaniel, regular end
last year, suffered a cut over the eye
in today’s practice hut will not be
out of all the workouts. J immy Maus,
sophomore back, is still suffering from
a summer baseball injury, Frederick,
another back, has a “Charley Horse
and Snider, another end candidate,
has been out for several days witn
severe sore throat.

Sept. 12.— UP) —Four of the
15 balloons entered in the Gordon
B«**«*tt International Trophy race
srfD were unreported this morning,
more than 40 hours after leaving the
Ford Airport here Saturday afternoon,
and officials of the -event, were inclined
t to believe that all the bags still were
in the air. Three others were report
ed seen last night in the Carolinas and
five had reported safe landings.
Norman B. Conger, chief of the
U. S. Weather Bureau here, reported
that the wind continued in a general
southeasterly direction. This would
sweep the balloons seen in the Caro
liuas toward the seaboard, it was be
lieved. Unless the pilots have been
able to find winds which would con
tinue to blow them over the land,
it was expected they would bring
their air-journey to an end somewhere
near Cape Sable, Florida.
Os the ballons which have reported
safe landings, the Wallonie Belgian
entry, piloted by Lieutenant Phillippe
Quersin and Lieutenant Maurice
Hieis, was believed to have made the
best distance. / The Wallonie landed
at S. C. The Brandeburg,
German balloon piloted by Dr. Rein
holdt Halben apd Hugo, Kaulen, Jr.,
made the shortest flight, having been
forced down on Sugar Island in Lake
Erie, four hours after the flight, when
the gas valves failed to function
properly.
The other balloons landed wer« the
Helvetia, Swiss entry, at Statesville,

Van Orman Still Going.
Anderson, S. C., Sept. 12. — UP)—
The balloon Goodyear VI, piloted by
Wade T. Van Orman, winner of last
year’s Gordon Bennet cup rice, passed
over Belton at 8 :35 o’clock this morn

speed. The ballon was about 6,000
feet in the air, but residents of Bel

and was going due west.
Leave for Detroit.
Dunn, N. C., Sept. 12.— UP) —Re-
freshed by a-long night’s rest, Maurice
Biename and A. Pennstra, in charge
of the French balloon, Paris Bruxelles,
which landed near here late Sunday,
boarded a train this morning and
headed toward Detroit.
The balloonists were in the air for
nearly 25 hours before Pilot Biename
decided to descend three miles south
of Dunn.

Dunn While Swiss Bag Lands In
Iredell.
Charlotte, Sept. 11.—Reporting a
journey fraught with the dangers of
thunderstorms, sudden ascents to great
heights and telling of spending the
night high above the clouds in bright
moonilght, four of the 15 entries in
the Gorden Bennett international
balloon race tonight had landed in
North Carolina and South Carolina.
The first three balloons ldnded —the
United States army, the Paris-Brux
elles, French, and the Wallonie, Bel
gian, traveled approximately 525 miles
from Detroit from where they started
late yesterday. The Helvetia, Swiss
entry, traveled about 450 miles.
The United States army, piloted by
Captain W. E. Kepner, was the first
reported landing, having come down
f in the outskirts of York, S. C., at 7
p. m. a few miles south of the North
Carolina line. Captain Kepner and
his aide, Lieutenant Earickson, told
of being suddenly lifted to great
heights by vertical air currents. They
had dropped their radio set by means
of a parachute at Lenoir, at 2:30
p. • m. and landed only because an
adverse air current caught them and
was carrying them back toward De
troit.
The Paris-Bruxqeles, piloted by M.
Maurice Bienamejwwith A. Veenstra
as aide, landed n£ar Dunn, a small
town in the eastern sectidh of the
state, at 5:50 o’clock this afternoon
after exhausing their ballast.
The Wallonie, piloted by H. Quen
sin with M. Theis as aide, came down
six miles south of Greenville, S. C.,
at 7:30 o’clock with ballast exhausted
The Hispania passed over Gaffney,
S. C., at 6 p. m. traveling in the
general direction of Charleston and
at a height of 4,000 feet.
The Italian entry, Dux, and the
Spanish entry, Hispania, known to
have passed over North Carolina and
into ffouth Carolina, were still going
stoftf and toward the south when
last reported. The Dux was identified
by an aviator who ascended at Spar
tanburg to a height of 4,000 feet to
get her markings. She was traveling
at a height of approximately 6,000
feet but later reports to Spartanburg
indicated that the Dux had begun to
descend and the last report was that
she was within 1,000 feet of thf
ground.

Vhat Will Be Fate Os the 1
Cotton Crop This Year
The Tribune Buurea*
H‘.r Walter Hotel
Raleigh, Sept. .12.—Will the prfco
of cotton, now at such a favorable
peak, remain at this p<tak, or will it
decline as a result of the rush that
will be made in many quarters to
Vealize on this increase in price? And
what affect, if any, will this ruse have
on the various cotton co-operative as
sociations?
As was expected, of course, the
price has already fallen off some from
the high level reached following the
announcement of the government crop
forecast. But state marketing ex
perts believe th«r for the most part
cotton prices are going to stay up
with a good chance for them to go
even higher later on.
“As far as the North Carolina crop
is concerned right now,” said George
Ross, chief of the division of mar
kets, state department of agriculture,
“not much a is being sold at pres
ent because •+* little has been picked
yet. Hence there is no dumping of
this year’s crop at present, and indi
cations are that many of The grow
ers nr*i going to market their cotton
slowly, in order to get the beet prices
possible.”
When the fact was mentioned that
many trucks and wagons ar*> tn be
seen hauling hales of cotiou to mar
ket, it was said that moat of this
is last year’s cotton and that the
farmers are using their hu&ds in sell
ing their last year’s which
they have carried over, now, and use
the money they receive for this to
» nable them to carry their new
crop, and finance themselves in the
meantime.
That present prices will have little
effect on the co-operative associa
tions, other than mean more profit for
the members, is the opinion of F. B.
Webster, assistant general manager
of the Cotton Growers’ Co-operative
Association here. The rise in prices
following the United States crop re
port was not unexpected, since private

Dry Raiders Strike Blows at Bm
Trade on Kings Mountain Battle
field Baffled'For Clues of Owners.
Gastonia, Sept. 10. —Prohibition
Agent Evon L. Houser, assisted by
Policeman Adam Hord, of Gastonia,
and Chief of Police Erwin Allen, of
Kings Mountain, made a raid in th-*
wilds of the Kings Mountain battle
field, Cleveland county, which netted
two of the largest stills ever captur
ed in. this section of the state.
The stills were within a quarter of
a mile of each other and there was n
path leading from one to the other,
this fact leading the raiders t<v be
lieve that both outfits were the prop
erty of the same individual or gang.
No arrests were made and, as yet, the
agents, have no clues as to who tne
owners and operators of the still
were.
It could not be ascertained who
owns the, property on which they
were located. They were found in a
section of the Kings Mountain region
which is wild and uninhabited.
One of the stills was warm and had
evidently been operated up to a very
short time before the officers arrived.
Both stills were destroyed as it would
have been an almost impossible task
to get them out and bring them to
town. Three hundred gallons of beer
was also destroyed.
A few miles east of the site of
these two stills the party made an
other raid, capturing a 60-gallon
Rtill in the Surraw Springs section,
Gaston county.
It destroyed with 150 gallons
of beer and several sacks of meal. No
arrests were made and it was im
possible to find out who is owner of
the land on which it was found.
Southern Railway to Display Mineral
Wealth of South at Chemical Show.
Washington, D. C., Sept. 12.—Dur
ing the week of September 26, South
ern Railway System will have on dis
play at the Eleventh Exposition *r
Chemical Industries, in the Grand
Central Palace, New York, the most
comprehensive exhibit of the chemical
and mineral resources of the South
that has ver been made.
In preparing this exhibit great
care has been taken to include om.v
specimens of minerals from deposits
which are available for development
and which are so located with refer
ence to transportation as to make
their development practicable. The
exhibit will occupy four booths in the
Exposition and will be sa arranged
as to group together all of the speci
mens from different deposits of tha
same mineral, thus facilitating com
parative study. The specimens shown
will present a complete picture of
the great and ' varied mineral re
sources of the territory served by
Southern Railway System lines.
The Exposition will attract many
thousands of visitors who are .in
terested in the chemical and allied
industries and the Southern Railway
exhibit expected to result in in
teresting some of the important
chemical and metalurgieal industries
of the United States in making de
velopments in the South.
'New York Makes New Mark by Lick
ing Browns.
New York, Sept. 10.—The Yankees
defeated the Browns for the 21st time
“this season by 1 to 0 today, Wiley
Moore gaining an edge on Stewart in
a pitcher’s battle. The lone run was
scored by Meusel in the eighth on his
double and successive sacrifices by
Lazzeri Gazella. Earl Combs’
single made him the first American
, leaguer to record 200 hits this season.
The New Yorkers established a new
American league record for victories
from one club in a season by winning
21times from St. Louis. The former
mark was held by the Red Sox who
won 20 out of-22 from St. Louis in
1911. The Yanks tied the National
league record held by the Cubs who
defeated Boston 21 out of 22 games
in 1909.
If the chairs are bright green and

estimates made before the government
estimate had very closely approximat
the government figures. The pres
ent high prices may occasion some
dumping on the part of owners , who
are anxious to realize at the present
peak, and this will probably cause a
temporary slump. ,
That farmers in some sections will
be encouraged to sell their cotton as
quickly as possible now while prices
are strong in order to get some ready
cash appears likely in the face of the
fact that they have been ruhning on
credit for many months. It is also
likely that mapy of the bankers and
supply merchants will urge them to dd
this, so that the hanks may be able
to liquidate some of the paper which
they have been carrying.
However, it ie generally believed
that the majority of the thinking
farmers will see the wisdom of mar
keting their cotton slowly, and thus
keep the market from being flooded,
and keep prices from falling.
It was pointed out by Mr. Web
ster that the cotton co-operatives this
year have an optional pool in which
mejnber§ may place their cotton with
insti notions to hold it and sell only
on the instruction* of the individual
owners. This plan will enable the
members to deliver the cotton to the
co-operatives as fgst as they may de
sire, where it will be held until such
a time as the owners may desire to
sell.
Although It U still too early to tell
definitely about the crop on the basis
of the first Crop estimate, it is felt
that the October and November re
ports will adhere pretty close to the
September estimate, unless adverse
weather conditions between now and
October first may serve to reduce the
estimate, in which case the crop
would be still shorter than already
indicated.
On the whole, those familiar with
the situation feel that cotton prices
will remain firm, with an eventua 1
possibility of still greater advances.

Four Baths A Year Would Satisfy
Them.
Paris, Sept. 10.—The scarcity of
bathtubs in most of France is often
the subject of jokes, but < Sarcastic
critics have a new fact to give sub
stance to their humor.
In the town of Bedarieux, near th*
southern eoast, are 7,000 people
with very few tubs: A forward-look
ing gentleman transformed a villa into
a public bathhouse, in a spirit of civic
pride, relying upon promises of a good
subscription list. Ho set out to get
the wealthy to buy season tickets
good for a bath a week. He finally
got 3 to agree to take a bath a month
for n year. After the first few weeks,
according to reports of the enterprise,
the subscribers reverted to primitive
ideas of hygiene and demanded part
of their tickets to be taken up.
“A bath a month is too often; oner
every three months is enough,” they
are quoted as skying. ,
The bathhouse finally closed its
doors, unable to make a go of the
bathing business, although there wan
no competition.
