BIG MONEY PRIZE AWAITS
NON-STOP ATLANTIC FLIER
A $25,000 Prize Offered by Raymond
Orteig, of New York.
Washington, Sept. 14—G4>)—While
there are several trophies in America
offered for outstanding events in air
.raft performance, officials of the
National Aeronautic Association
hero know of only one cash prize
now open to competition. This is the
*25.000 prize offere<l by Raymond
Orteig of New York, and open to
aviators crossing the Atlantic be
tween Barn-; or the shores of France
ad New York on a non-stop flight, in
.»it her direction.
The money is now on deposit in an
American bank and has been avail
able since 11)10. Recently two
groups of aviators, one in France and
one in the United States, have start
ed plans to capture it. Mr. Orteig
formally extented the time for the
prize award until June 1. 1030.
Should a non-stop trans-Atlantic
flight begin in New York, officials of
the National Aeronautic Association
would have charge of the official in
spection. The Aero Club France
would handle the inspection at Parks.
Carl F. Sehory, official timer of
the National Aeronautic Association,
explains that in non-stop flights,
such at? the Orteig prize con
templates, the gasoline tanks of the
aircraft arc sealed to prevent re
filling. Officials are also able to keep
tab on the movements of a nonstop
aircraft through use of a scaled
barograph. This Instrument, which
looks like a small bix, contains a
recording pen which works in har
mony with the pressure of the baro
meter and registers on a revolving
cylinder the height at which a plane
flies and the time it remains in the
air.

Dynamite Expert Spoils Another
Good Kinston Story.
Kinston, Sept. 13. —The “burning
well” at the town of Riohlands is no
natural phenomenon, nor super
natural. according to a report had
here today from George A. ("Dyna
mite”) Wilkins, explosive expert and
well borer who has been making an
examination of the well. ( &-
The Well, sunk in the main street
of the town many years ago, caught
fire the evening of September 5. A
gaseous substance on the surface
blazed for many minutes. Subse
quent fires were strted by interested
resklents. Wilkins, arriving here on
the 7th, stated that he had made a
cursory examinations, “exonerated”
filling stations and arrived at the con
clusion that practical jokers had
nothing to do with the fires. Wilkins
returned for another investigation.
Though the nearest gas station is
fifty feet or . farther from the well
Wilkins today reported that the “in
flammable substance is refined gaso

the leak would be stopped and the
well redeemed as a source of drinking

Admission Prices For Local
Fair Are Reduced This Year
Although the Cabarrus County Fair
this year is to be the biggest and
best yet offered, admission prices will
be less than they were last year, ac
cording to an announcement made by
Dr. T. N. Spencer, secretary of the
fair association.
Admission prices this year wifi be:
During day, 50 cents for adults and
25 cents for children; at night, 25
cents for all.
Last year adults had to pay 75
cents to get in the ground, it was
pointed out by Dr. Spencer, and re
gardless of tlie fact that the fireworks,
free acts and races are to cost more
this year than ever before, admission
prices are reduced.
“We planned last year to make the
admission price 50 cents this year,”
Dr. Spencer said, “but it has been
reported to me that in some manner it
has been circulated in the county that
the price was to be raised to a dollar.
There is nothing to such reports, of
course, for we have never contemplat
ed raising the price. In fact, we de
cided last year to reduce the price.”
Dr. Spencer is confident that visi
tors to the fair this year are going to
be surprised at the excellency of at
tractions to be offered. "While un
usually fine free acts, races and fire
works have been offered the past two
Rear Admiral Hilary P.
Jones Named of Board
Appointed for Inquiry by
Secretary Wilbur.
WILL AID ANOTHER
BOARD OF INQUIRY
Board Named by Secretary
Wilbur Will Work With
Board Appointed Last
Week by the President.
Washington, Sept . 14. — (A*) —A
court of inquiry to investigate the
Shenandoah disaster with Rear Ad
miral Hilary B. Jones, chief of the
navy’s general board as its president,
was appointed today by Secretary
Wilbur.
The work of this board will supple
ment that of the special board of 9
men appointed by Bresident Coolidge
to delve thoroughly into the broad
question of the nation’s air policies,
which has been the subject of bitter
controversy since the Shenandoah dis
aster.
The announcement of the personnel
of the board to investigate the Shenan
doah crash came on the heels of a
denouncement of navy critics by Rear
Admiral Moffett, chief of the navy’s
bureau of aeronautics.
Those who will serve with Admiral
Jones in conducting the inquiry are:
Capt. Frank H. Clark, aide to the as
sistant secretary; Capt. Louis B. Mc-
Bride, of the navy construction corps;
Commander John H. Towers, lieuten
ant-commander Ralph C. Bennoyer,
Captain Caul Foley, director of the
experimental laboratory at Bellevue.
District of Columbia, and Lieut.-
Commander Bierce will be~his adviser.
At the time Mr. Wilbur was an
nouncing the personnel of the Shenan
doah Board, the War Department
made plans to have Col. Win, Mitch
ell, chief figure in the whole contro
versy, available as an expert witness
for the Bresident’s commission when
that body begins its inquiry.
Jt was explained at the War De
partment that neither disciplinary
proceedings which have been initiat-
years, Dr. Spencer and other fair of
ficials are ready to offer attractions
this year that will surpass in every
way attractions offered in the past.
“We strive each year to offer a fair
bigger and better than the one the
year before,” Dr. Spencer continued,
“and to carry out this policy we have
spared no expense. The Cabarrus
County Fair has attained an enviable
reputation throughout the South and
we are determined to offer attrac
tions and exhibits in keeping with
such a reputation. However, we are
determined also, to offer these attrac
tions at the least possible cost to the
public, and for that reason agreed last
year to cut the price of admission to
50 cents this year.”
Officials of the fair feel reasonably
certain they ’have the best interest of
the public in their efforts to give
this county a fair surpassed by none
in the South, and they are rather sur
prised that any one would circulate
reports calculated to hurt attendance
at the fair.
Those persons who have been wor
ried because of the “dollar admission
rumors” can rest assured there is
notliing to them and that for 50 cents
they can get admission to a fair that
is certain to eclipse anything yet
staged in this county.

Chicago, Sept. 13.—“ Babe” Ruth

checked in with three home run each.
None of the other sluggers under the
big ten did as well.

bagged one four-base run, thereby
running his count to 36, while Bob
Meusel, of the Yankees, his nearest
rival for home run honors cracked
out one and brought his total to 28.

THE COTTON MARKET
Opening Firm at Advance of 18 Points
to IKcline of 4 Points—December at
24.70.
New York, Sept. 14.—The eotton
market showed renewed strength early
today. Traders evidently were fear
ful that further rains reported over
Sunday were damaging open cotton in
Texas, and fais view of crop condi
tions combined with relatively firm
Liverpool cables and reports of an ac
tive demand for cotton goodw led to
further advances.
The opening was firm at an advance
of eighteen points to a decline of four
points. Realizing caused some irreg
ularity after the call, but offerings
soon were absorbed and before the
end of the first hour active months
were 2 Oto 34 points net higher, with
December selling at 24.70. or 260
points above the recent low level.
Part of tlie buying seemed to come
from the trade, while brokers reported
a broadening e’ommis*«ou house de

CAMPAIGNS IN lEW
YORK CITY TO END
111 NIGHT MEETINGS
One of Most Sensational
Campaigns in History of
City Will End With To
morrow’s Voting.
WALL STREET IS
BETTING HEAVILY
Waging Odds Against May
or Hylan.—The Demo
crats Furnish Most of the
Fireworks.
New York, Sept. 14. — (4 s )—One of
the most sensational campaigns in Jhe
history of New York City will de
velop tomorrow into t’iie nomination
of democratic, republican and nocialist
candidate® for mayor, and the sensa
tions seemed likely to continue until
the election a month hence.
The fireworks have been largely on
the democratic side. John F. Hylan,
elected mayor for two four-year terms
with Tammany support, is opposed
for renomination by State Senator
James J. Walker, Tammany designee, ,
wro has had the active support of
Governor Smith. By both republican
and democratic spokesmen the cam
paign lias been interpreted as a battle
between Governor Smith and W. It.
Hearst for control of the democratic
party in the «tate with a view to
presidential politics in 1928. The
governor, giving up a vacation, came
from Albany to stump for Walker.
Exchanges betw.een the governor and
Mr. Hearst at long distance and be
tween the governor and the mayor at
close range have been sharp and per
sonal.
The mayor has ignored demands of
Walkpr that he say whether he will
support the democratic nominee and
Tammany supporters, confident of sup
port in the primaries, are looking for
ward to the election with leas assur
ance because what seems to them the j
possibility of Hylan heading an inde
pendent ticket.
Republican hopes of electing the
executive of this highly democratic I
city run high. In fact, the organiza
tion candidate for the republican nom
ination, Frank D. Watermun, pen
manufacturer, has largely iguored bis „
opponents for the nomination, and
centered bis attacks on both Hylan i
and Walker, and saying they had been
