Flying Field Tuesday
Morning, Being First to
Make This Long Flight.
Wheeler Field, Island of Oahu,
Hawnii, June 20.— UP) —First to
make the 2,400-mile flight between
San Francisco and Honolulu, the
army flyers. Lieutenants Lester J.
Maitland and Albert Hagenberger ar
rived here at G:22 a. m. today.
Throughout their long flight they
had been reported seen only once —by
the steamer Sonoma when 750 miles
from the California coast.
The army flyers came in through
bright sunshine that had cleared away
the rain and gloom of the night'that
shrouded their landing place.
Thousands who had waited through
the long night had begun to disperse
when Maitland and Hagerberger came
through the haze to a triumphant land-,
ing.
It fell to the lot of the army to
bring the Hawaiian Islands, outpost
of America's defenses, within one day
of the country’s mainland.
The fastest steamer traverses the
waters of the Pacific, in which no
land intervenes, within five to six
days., Maitland and Hagenberger by
their successful flight supplemental
the work begun in 1025 by their broth'-'
ers of the navy. At that time three
gignt planes of the at
tempt to cross the ocean front Sin
Francisco to Hawaii. One plane fail
ed to rise, another fell into the sea
about 300 miles oil shore, and the
third containing the heroic Com
mnndcr John Rodgers and three oth
er men, came down 300 miles short
of their destination. For nine days
they drifted with their seaplane, and
were picked up when hope had almost
been abandoned.
In their flight of approximately 2,-
400 miles, Maitland nnd Hagerberger
completed the longest trans-oceanic
airplane flight ever accomplished.
The landing was on a rain-soaked
field. The huge plane taxied the en
tire length of the field. Then circling
it came hack Jo the front of the re
view stand, where the highest army,
navy and civil authorities in the is
land were awaiting to extend congrat
ulations to the flyers.
Made Good Time.
San Francisco, June 20.—C4 1 )
Cloaked in the silence and darkness
of the open sea, the progress of the
big army monoplane dnshing from the
Golden Gate to Hawaii was hidden
from a waiting world early today, but
all indications wcyc that at midnight
Fac : fic time* she was less than 000
miles from her goal.
A message to that effect received
by the army radio station at Honolulu
reached here early today. Previous
messages received from Honolulu at
Portland, Oregon, declared that all
was well with her two-man crew,
Units. Lester ,T. Maitland nnd Albert
Hagenberger, led to the belief that
she would reach the easternmost shore
of Oahu island at dawn, or even be
fore.
All Hawaii faced east in expecta
tion of their arrival within the 24
hour period elapsing from the time of
the takeoff at Oakland which was at
7:09 A. M. yesterday. • A landing at
Wheeler Field, Scofield Barracks, 25
miles from Honolulu at or before 4:31)
A. M„ Honolulu time, would bring
them to the end of their dash within
the 24 hour estimate.
If the time nnd figures Os the re
port are correct, the air adventurers
were well within their schedule, and if
their plane accumulated speed with the
lightening of their load of fuel, they
were gaining at every turn of . their
propellers in their race with the
dock. Northeast by east trade winds
were giving them a friendly push, and
barometric and temperature readings
were favorable, although the sky was
overcast in that area.
In San Francisco and at I’aia, on
Oahu -Island, the two radio beacon
stations industriously pumped their
signals across the ’2,400-miles of -wat
er in the hope that Maitland and Hag
enberger still were following the wire
less lane set up by the directional ap
paratus.
The exact distance flown at the
time the Pearl Harbor to Portland
message was sent, (10 p. m. Pacific
time) could not be computed, because
the dlstanct north of San Francisco-
Honolulu line was not given. It
would be not less than 1,900 miles in
a I’ttle less than 14 hours.
The liner Sierra 1015 miles west of
San Francisco, land directly in the
path which the Bfeni intended to fol
low. reported overcast skies and a
fresh wind. *'• j

FLYING HIGH AS
IT CROSSED LAND
From New York to Nova
Scotia Byrd Made About
the Same Time as Did
Colonel Lindbergh!.
(By the Associated Press)
Through screening fogs and show
ers. the giant monoplane America
roared its way today along the Nova
Scotia shore headed away for Paris
after a hopoff from Roosevelt Field,
Long Island, at 5:24 a. m., Eastern
daylight time.
Commander Byrd, flying with three
companions in hie three-motored Fok
ker, had compass trouble over the sea
midway from . Cape Cod to Nova
Scotia due to the extrn gas tauks.
The trouble was adjusted and the
America shortly after 10 o'clock was
reported over Meteghan, N. SJ. It
was at Meteghan that Lindbergh hit
Nova Scotia on the nose on his flight
to Paris.
The Byrd plane reeled off the 400
miles from Roosevelt Field in four
hours and 34 minutes, taking just one
minute longer time for the distance
than Lindbergh.
The America had indifferent weath
er for the flight, and continually
bumped into showers and fogs along
the first leg of the great circle.
Stormy weather was reported off the
Irish coast today, but Paris said con
ditions in France went, improving,
James H'. Searr, New Yot*> fore*
caster, said conditions generally were
favorable. '
Byrd May Return in Plane.
Paris, June 29.—C40—Instructions
from Commander Richard E. Byrd
have been received by the Air Union
chief of the French Commercial Air
Line to have 4,400 liters (about 980
gallons) of. gasoline waiting for him
at Le Bourget. leading to the belief
that he intends to return to . the

Roosevelt Field, N. Y„ June 29.
UP) —Commander Richard E. Byrd
and this three-man crew took off on
their long delayed scientific air ex
pedition to France in the monoplane
America at dawn today.
The great three-motored Fokker
took the air at 5:24 o’clock, Eastern
daylight time, just 47 seconds after
being released from the top of the
runway where it had been tied for
the past (Six days while unfavorable
weather forbade a flight.
The storms that have blocked a
flight during the more than a month
and a half that the Byrd plane has
been waiting at the field, seemed last
night to be as great an obstacle as
ever. But in the early hours of the
morning Commander Byrd suddenly
announced that despite the weather
man’s report he had decided to leave.
Immediately there was a great
bustle of preparation around the han
gar and runway and last prepara
tions were made for the third time
in a week. But this time prepara
tions seemed somehow to be more con
elusive than before and the crowd felt
sure as daWn approached that, they
were to be more fortunate than thou
sands who have flocked to the field on
other nights.
Everything went forward in a busi
nesb like manner, and shortly before
5 o’clock Commander Byrd, with liis
crew, Bert Acosta, George Noville
and Bernt Balchen drove out to the
plane. T. Harold Kinkade, Wright
motor expert, climbed aboard and
tuned up the motors.
The crew waved farewell, tool their
places, and signaled ’’give her the
gun.” A mechanic standing behind
the plane slashed at the restraining
rope as the engines roared and the
great ship shot down the incline and
light of a rainy dayrn.
The takeoff was the occasion for a
rumor that Kiukade had stowed him
held away as - the fifth man In the
plane. Yesterday afternoon Byrd had
told him that he would like to have
the motor expert along and Kinkade
replied : “'Well, you may find me there
after you get away.” Later Kidkade
confided to reporters that be intend
ed to attempt to stowaway, hut after
the flight he returned to the hangar.

DRY GESTURE IS SEEN IJftW
THREAT OF THIRD TICKET
Politicians Not Alarmed By the
Plan Announced to Combat Smith.
Washington, June 29. —The Anti-
Snioon League has come out ojieniy
with a threat of a third party ticket
for the South if Smith is nominate!: I
on the Democratic National ticket. K
While this is in line with tic
known attitude of the leaders of
organizations, the 'experienced poli
ticians regard the strategy as more
of a threat than a likelihood. For un
less the drys are willing to expend
large sums to contest local delega
tions and thus go into the national
convention with real strength, there
is little chance of getting mpeh ac
complished.
Political organization takes nine
as wc I as money and the difficulty
the Anti-Saloon League will have
will be to rouse the regular poll
tieians in the South to the need of a
third party ticket. Also some out
standing dry is needed to make the
race or else a third party ticket wil'
be negligible when the uationa’
electoral vote is counted.
The hope that William U. Mc-
Adoo would lend his name to the
third party movement is held hy
many of the drys, who point to his
recent speech in Georgia as tlie
platform on which the South might
be roused to action. McAdoo is re
ported to be active in trying to pre
vent the nomination of a wet but what
h* woUSA-do If the ltemacNtlll
after considering all the facts ami
.circumstahees and prejudices, finally
nominated a wet by a two-third vote,
is another question.
The talk of a third party ticket
on previous occasions has been an
influence in determining the choice
of a nominee. As a matter of fact
there is an expectation that the
railroad brotherhoods and labor
unions might aid McAdoo if he were
the nominee of a third ticket, though;
this is partly offset by the fact that
most of the labor leaders lean toward
the wet side of the argument and in
New York State, at least, Smith
has had the confidence and support
of labor.
Third party ideas have been in the
nir for some time and the fact that
plans now are being made is a sign
that the drys know they expect to
wait till the democratic convention
acts. The possibility will have to be
weighed also that if the third party
movement is pretty well under way
before the democratic national con
vention is held it may prove a
boomerang.
The wets, for instance, would say
there was no use nominating a drv
because the Eastern States would
not support him and there is no use
expecting any dry support unless an
out nnd out dry is chosen, so there
need be in the end no hesitation
abont naming Smith- In other 'word*,
a bolt of the dry before the conven
tion meets would leave the wets in
compltee control.
The strategy of the Sry organiza
tion therefore will be to gain as
much strength as possible in the
regular convention and carry on
their bolt while the convention is in
progress, just as did the Bull Moose
in 1912.

Site for Farm Colony for
Women Not Yet Selected
The Tribune Bureau
Sir Walter Hotel
By .1, C. BASKERVILL
Raleigh, June 29.—Now thnt the
board of directors of the recently cre
ated Industrial Farm Colony for
Women has hold its first meeting and
decided that the selection of the lo
cation is the next, thing in order, in
terest hns turned at once to see in
what section of the state the colony
will be located.
Though the entire membership of
the board was present and the entire
■ act creating the colony was carefully
discussed with Governor McLean, none
of flip members would discuss the
meeting afterwards more than to state
that the discussion had been general
and that nothing definite or specific
had been decided.
It will be remembered that the act
as passed by the 1927 general assem
bly provides an appropriation of SOO.-
000 to be expended in erecting build
-1 ings for the colony on land already
owned by the state at the time of
the ratification of the act. The
purpose of the eoiony is to provide a
penal institution for women offenders
More than 16 years old, to which they
may be sent from any county in the
N instead of being epj|fiuod iu the,
| county jails as at present. •The ma
jority of these women, of course, will
be prostitutes.
At this farm colony the plan will
be to provide work for them of such
u sort as they are capable of doing,
and thus keep them gainfully occu
pied instead of confined in idleness in
jails as at present. Because many
of these women are diseased, they will
be given medical treatment, and the
i outdoor exercise is expected to assist
them in recuperating from these dis
eases. as well as keep their minds
healthfully occupied.
Owing to the fact that women can
not perform but some types of farm
labor, it is not contemplated by the
board to undertake general farming,
but to confine the farm work lurgely
to the raising of truck crops niul veg
etables, fruit of all sorts, and other
produce that does not require too
SHERIFFS WILL REPORT
FOR SETTLEMENT MONDAY
With Tax Sales Out of Way in Most
Counties, Sheriffs Are Ready to
Settle.
Tribune Bureau
Sir Walter Hotel.
Raleigh, June 29.—Most of the
counties hnve had their tax sales, and
, the sheriffs are busy with their reports
in order to make'their settlements to
the .board of commissioners at the
meeting next Monday as required by
law, according to information received
i at the office of the County Govern
. ment Advisory Commission,
i When these settlements are made
1 the commissioners will turn ovey/ the
• tax sales certificates to the county ac
countant or other designated officer
for collection, and the sheriff then be
comes automatically relieved of furth
er duties as far as the 1928 tax levy
! i ia concerned.
, On October 1, as soon as he has
, completed his qualification as to bond,
' the sheriff will receive the hooks con
j milling the tax list and receipt books
|of the 1927 taxes.
I | In the tew counties where . there
- are injunctions against (ax sales, the
>' sheriffs or tax Collectors must con
tinue with the collection of the 1928
• taxes until after the period covered
hy the restraining order is over. This
means that in a few counties the
" sheriffs or tnx collectors will be col
-1 looting taxes for practically the en
tire year, whereas in the other counties
/these officials linve a breathing spell
jof three months.
The certificates of sale Under the
j new law will hear interest at the rate
' of 20 jier cent for the first year on the
' amount of taxes together with the
sheriff’s costs. In the past the in
’* terest charges varied in the different
•counties, ranging from 20 per cent in
■ some to no interest charge at ail in
a others. The tax certificates under the
new law with its uniform high rate
’f of interest are considered a good in
j yestment.
e Reprieve to Sacco and Vanaetti. „
j Boston, .Tune 29.—IW—Governor
1 Alvin Fuller today granted a 30-day
i* respite to Nicola Sacco and Bartol
omeo Vanaetti, whose conviction for
l- murder has attracted international at
tention. Their execution has been
set for the week of July 10th.
strenuous physical labor, it was in
dicated by one of the members.
These considerations, then, material
ly narrow down the territory within
which the farm colony may be located,
since only certain sections of the state
are suitable for the production of truck
crops and fruits. The fact that the
location is also limited to land al
ready owned by the State is likewise
significant. For while, as Governor
McLean cryptically commented, “the
State owns land all over the state,”
there are only a few definite tracts
suitable for the establishment of such
an institution as is contemplated in
the farm colony for women.
It is believed that any considera
tion of establishing the farm colony
on land already owned by the State
and being worked by the State prison
lias been eliminated. And with this
question disposed of, there is little
chance of the colony being established
in the eastern section of the state.
However, there has already been
some talk to the effeet that it might
be well to locate the eoiony in the]
vicinity of Samufcand, the school for
wayward girls under 16, in Moore
county, since the farm colony will
attempt to do much the Bame work
ley, former commissioner of public
welfare, is a member of the board of
the farm colony and that he selected
the location for the Samarcand school,
is thduglit may have something to do
with the eventual selection of a site
for the colony.
At any rate, the activities of the
board members will be watched with
interest while the question of a lo
cation for the colony is under con
sideration. though no report on the
situation is expected for a month or
two. D. S. Churchill, of Kinston,
was selected as temporary chairman,
and Mrs. W. T. Shore, of Charlotte,
was named temporary secretary. The
other five members of the board, Mrs.
R. E. Little, Wadesboro; Colonel T.
J. Murphy, Greensboro, and R. F.
Beasely, of Monroe, were also pres

REFRIGERATION HEARING
OF MUCH IMPORTANCE
Refrigeration Service in All Parts of
County Affected By the Hearing.
Tribune Bureau
Sir Walter Hotel.
Raleigh, June 28.—The continuation
of tlie Refrigeration hearing that be
gins* today in Wilmington before an
examiner of the Interstate Commerce
Commission .is not only of vital im
isirfauce to all shippers who have oc
casion to use refrigeration service in
North Carolina, but affects the entire
United States as well.-according to
officials of the State Corporation Coin
mission who have been following the
progress of the case.
At. the hearing in. Atlanta several
weeks ago, it was brought out by the
Commerce Commission exjierts who
have been investigating refrigeration
charges, that a profit of approximate
ly $lB a car has been shown on re
frigerated car shipments front this
state under existing charges. And
this in the face of the fact that this
refrigeration service is supposed to be
supplied at cost—the cost of the ice,
plus icing charges, and a small per
centage for upkeep.
| At the hearing which opens today
in Wilmington, und which will con
tinue through tomorrow, the sliipiiers
in Xprth Carolina will be given their
first opportunity to testify, and will
tell in detail of the kind of service they
have been getting, the degree of jier
formaiice of this service, the conditions
surrounding it, and anything pertain
ing to it, either favorable or unfavor
able, so far as it affects North Caro
| lina shippers amt users of refrigerated
service.
However, no consideration of exist
ing rutes will be gone into at this
hearing, the question"of rates will be
meree Commission or one of its ex
aminers, to be held in Washington
probably sometime in September. At
this time the rate exhibits will be ex
amined, after the Fruit Growers Ex
press has submitted their rate data.
That this is one of the most ex
haustive hearings into which the In
terstate Commerce Commission has
evere gone, is attested toy I. M. Bailey,
special counsel for the State Cori>ora
tion Commission, who says that the
evidence in this case has been gathered
with tremendous care, ami that it is
understood that the Interstate Com
merce Commission has already spent
approximately $3,000,000 in investi
gating the case to date. The railroads
and especially the refrigeration lines
art' contesting the case bitterly, throw
ing their entire resources back of the
lines which are involved in the in
vestigation.
