GREAT CROWD TO ( SEE HIM LEAVE Told Newspaper Men Did r Not Mean to Be Discour teous When He Acted Without Telling Them. Mitchell Field, X. Y„ June 17—OP) —Colonel Chfls. A. I.indhergh hopped >ilt nt 8:17/ a. m. daylight time for Bt. l,*mis in his monoplane, the Spirit of St. Louis, after four days of un preeeHented reoeptions in Now Yorks' There was a large erowd of- enthu siastic admirers nt the field to see him off. They lined the runway and po lice had a difficult time in keeping them away from the path of the plane. The takeoff, however, was perfect, and in a few momenta the plane was in the air. Colonel Lindbergh expected to reach St. Louis at 4:30 p. m. (St. Louis time). When he flew here more than a month ago he covered the 900 miles from St. Louis in seven hours and fifteen minutes,* establishing a new record for the route. He will be aided in his flight west by a difference of two hours in time. The colonel submitted to his last interview with newspaper men- just before he left Mitchell Field. He said he planned to proceed directly west, pass over Columbus, 0., possibly In dia napoliß. and then bead for St. Louis. He expects to pick up a new army escort near Dayton, f The young flyer appeared extremely tired as he answered the questions of reports. He renewed his thanks for his' reception in New York, ex pressed appreciation of the courtesies extended him by the army gir service nt Mitchell Field, and thanked the press for its cooperation. Lindbergh appeared under the iin / pression that unannounced shifts in his plans during his stay in the city had displeased Reporters who had "cov ered'’ bin/ in his four-day welcome m New York. With characteristic diplomacy hr explained the difficulties of planning his program in advance. "Often times it wan impossible to announce our plans for any length of time,” he said. Referring to hie surprise jump to Washington yesterday when he ob tained the Spirit of St. Louis, Lind bergh said “mostly we just decided and then did it. Whenever it was possible we notified you boys.” Gdls Little Sleep For Trip. New York, June 17. —MP)—Stren- uous entertainment of Col.

Sherifi Joseph Westbrook, of Jones, today declared Hill, his nephew, owed hip life to wide-bottomed trousers dang ling loosely -about his ankles. "Jimmy and one of my sons Were ' at work in a field at my farm,” Westbrook said, “when a five-foot rattlesnake struck at Jimmy ankles. He didn’t have time to dodge . The rattler had given no warning, though it had ample equipment iu its 13 rat- tics. It was n big, fat rascal, . big r enough to kill an elephant at one strike. “ "Its fangs lodged in the young "l fellow’s pants leg. They missed the flesh entirely; we searched carefully but. there wasn’t a scratch on his skin. Threshing about, the snake lust a fang, firmly fixed in the cloth. We killed the reptile.” - Week-End FUahermen. New York—Disciples of Isaak Walton suffer little by the restric tion* of residence in the world’s lar gest city.

Y„ June 17. (A>)—Tlip Fokker monoplane "Ameri ’ ca” was taken from its hangar this morning for a final inspection prepar atory to its flight for Franre. but it seemed unlikely that a takeoff would be possible today.

Charlotte. June 16. —The . fate of , Dr. W. E. Wlshart, prominent Char lotte physician, and J. Marion Smith, automobile salesman, on trial here on a charge of performing a criminal * operation on Miss Margaret Carpet)* - wilt w tcitowfi tcftnprrow. will be given a Jury' in Mecklenburg Superior court shortly after uoon. Hearing of evidence was concluded at this morning's session. Attorneys for Dr. Wishart 'and Smith have been allotted two horn's for each side; for arguments and Judge James L. Webb's ! charge to the jury is expected to re quire another hour. James A. hart. chief counsel for Dr. Wishart, will make his first address tomorrow morning and he will be followed by J. D. McCall, leading attorney for Smith. Solicitor John G. Carpenter will close the arguments. Ex-Judge D. L. Russell, counsel for the prosecutrix, caused gasps of snr -1 prise today when, iu pleading with the jury, he asked for the conviction of Smith, expressing the opinion that he thought l)r. Wishart was innocent of the charge. His arghineut came as a double surprise as the ex-judge represents Miss Carpenter in the $40,000 civil i action suit in which Dr. Wishart is named ns a co-defendant. The morning session of court today was lacking in the sensational ele ments which have characterized the trial since it got under way. Dr. W. C. Boyleston, Charlotte physieiaqs created a flnrry of excitement when he accused Dr. Wishart and Roy Davis of attempting to get him to , perform the operation. The accused men vigorously denied the charge. , Dr. Boyleston, testifying for Smith, asserted that Dr. Wishart and Roy Davis, a state witness, bad come to his office looking for Smith. He said , they wanted him to perform an oper ation on a girl from Hickory, the physicißti testified, but uot finding Smijth offered him SIOO to perforin it. Dr. Boyleston said he refused and Dr. Wishart said to Davis that if the , girl was blindfolded he would do it t himself. Attorneys for Dr. Wishart asked j Dr. Boyleston many questions reflect , ing on his refutation and Dr. Boyle ston denied *ll of these. He said he j has testified because he felt “an injus tice is being perpetrated on Smith. Smith today took the stand and 1 flatly denied statements made by Dr. t Wishart, who testified that Smith ad mitted he performed the operation. - Nature Lure School Opens. Briarcliff Manor, N.

MI CH INTEREST IS AROUSED BY STATE Inquiries Received Daily From AU Sections of the Country. The Tribune Bureau Sir Walter Hotel Raleigh, June 17.—North Carolina continues to arouse widespread in terest throughout the country, it was pointed out today at the State de partment of agriculture, where many requests for information are constant ly being received and answered. During the entire year there come requests for agricultural information to be used in connection with the farm. The farmers are supplied with bulletins and other results of research work, and to them the department ex tends a helping hand in the market- j Ing of their crops. The agricultural advantages of ■ North Carolina seem to be attracting special attention. This is attributed largely to the fact that the state, in co operation with local farmers, is offer ing better marketing or distribution advantages. This was strikingly dem onstrated in the movement of straw berries, the shipment of potatoes and in the fact that the department of agriculture during the past three sea sons lias co-operated in the shipment of five million pounds of live poultry and thousands of dozens of eggs. These activities affected thousands of farmers throughout the state. The marketing of live poultry is ex pected to be chronicled in a perma nent publication shortly in order that there may be a still more, widespread interest in this undertaking, which, it : is fait, can be made to play a great er part in the state’s diversification «v«e* hy-Oone missioner W. A. Graham, Dr. E. O. Brooks, Governor A. W. Mcliean and dthers. Numerous letters have been received recently from public libraries through out the United Staten asking for copies of department of agriculture publica tions for the permanent files. These requests, evidently are based on in- 1 quiries received at the libraries. For example, the public library at Sioux City. lowa, yesterday sent in a request for copijes of “Agricultural North Carolina,” which appeared re cently as a bulletin and contains a concise statement of North Carolina's agricultural advantage. From the New York Public Library in the same mail came a request for all of the depart ment’s reports. The public library of Columbus, Ohio, has made several request, also the library of the Uni versity of Chicago. It would seem that having rend about North Carolina’s progress in the newspaiiers and magazines, the outside public wants to kuow more about the state, through official publications. A West Virginia merchant wrote that he was thinking of disposing of his holdings and moving here. Similar letters have been received from other sections from time to time and the desired information has been sent in quirers. Albemarle Youths Narrowly Escape Death in Wind Storm. Albemarle, June 16.—Two promi nent young Albemarle gentlemen, Hoyle Efird and Tom Kimmery had an experience yesterday, it has just been learned, which would make the hairs stand on end even when those hairs covered the head of an iron man. These young men. wlio sell trac tors, were in the Oakboro section working among the farmers. the storm which hit this county shortly afternoon happened to pass their way and caught them near an old barn. To save themselves from a drenching they took refuge in the barn, but shortly after they went in the wind became so fireee that even throngh the darkened atmosphere they could see the posts as they com menced to rise up and down and p'.ay around. As the wind grew more severe the young man could plainly •see that unless something was done the bam would be turned over and they would be in Abraham’s bosom or somewhere else. They grabbed hold of the posts and held on like grim death, with the result, as they both firmly believe, that the build ing was saved. After the storm they returned to Albemarle to tell the story to friends. > The young men both declare that unless they had held down the posts the building would have blown over on them.
