FORTUNE AWAITING
THE NOTED 11N
It Is Estimated That Lind
bergh Can Get Million
Wtihin Year if He Wants
to Accept Any Contracts
| New York. May 23.— (.A 3 ) —A million
dollar pot of gold at the end of his
3.800 mile* rainbow today awaited
Captain Charles A. Lindbergh.
While worldwide acclaim continued
to mark the achievement of the youth
ful New York-Paris airman, there j
came offers W||eh would enable him
* to get back his $2,000 investment in
the flight many times over.
Within twenty-four hours after end
ing hie flight, the 25-year-old flyer (
received definite offers of $735,000 in
i movie and commercial contracts.
A fortune of more than $1,000,000
I would be within his grasp should he
be willing and able to fulfill an elab
orate array of motion picture, vaude
ville and advertising contracts. Rut
I what the young captain will do is not
j known. Os the $20,000 which the
; flight cost, Lindbergh contributed his
own savings of $2,000. St. Louis
| business men made up the balance.
He is free to do what he chooses
about the flattering proposals. Harry
Knight and other "sponsors of the
flight said in St. Louis.
LINDBERGH MAY TRY
HOP TO AUSTRALIA
Fiitv Planned 651 i Miles Trip in
Two Jumps.
[ St. Louis. May 23.—Ambitions
more audacious than the New York
( to Pari* flight, are cherished by
j Capt. Charles A. Lindbergh. who
has planned to be the first man to
I fly from United States to Aus
tralia. it was said here today by
Harry A. Knight, one of the backer*
|of the youthful air mail pilot. First
however, Lindbergh planned to re
turn here and attempt t»> break the
upd lira nee record, Knight said.
While Lhldbergh awaited the
building, of his plane. The •Spirit of
St. Louis, find the start of the Bel
lancn monoplane Columbia seemed
but a mattet* of days, he told his
friends he would try the Australian
flight if the Columbia reached Paris
before he was ready.
The Australian flight. Knight
pointed out. would carry the flier
over more than 6.511 mi’es. He would
cross the equator and fly over many
groups of the South Sea Islands if
! the project were attempted.
As Lindbergh planned it. the
' flight across the broadest of waters,
I the Pacific Ocean, would be made in
two hops. The first from the United
j States to the Hawaiian Island, and
the second from Honolulu to the
j western coast of Australia, slightly
above Sydney.
Ever since he got his first taste of
flying at Lincoln. Neb., “slim” as
the flier is called, has wanted to
break the endurance record for sus
tained flight. Knight said. He plan
i ned to better the record of Chamber-
I lin and Rert Acosta, who flew over
i New York City for more than fifty
oiie consecutive hours.

MRS. MONTAGUE IS
INDICTED BY JURY
Asheville Woman Will Probably Be
Tried During Week of May 30.
Asheville, May 21.—Mrs. Anna K.
Montague, Asheville nurse, was in
dicted today by a Buncombe county
grand jury for the murder of her
aged patient, Mrs. Mary R. Cooper.
The true bill was returned to Judge
Thomas J. Shaw, of Greensboro, in
superior court after the grand jury
had examined the facts unearthed by
the investigation for a little less than
three hours.
Solicitor R. M. Wells stated tonight
that while the Mitchell murder case
will he tried at the term of criminal
court which convenes here May 23,
the Montague case will not be placed
on the docket until the May 30 term.
Growing conviction that Mr*<
Montague is a paranoiac appears
among the officials here but counsel
for the defendant maintain that they
will not plead insanity but will go
into court on the issue of the facts.
Declaring that the investigation has
not unearthed sufficient evidence to
warrant a conviction, the defense at
torneys are preparing to launch an
attack on the chain of circumstantial
evidence that has been woven by the
officers.

OR. HUDDLE HEARD
WITH INCH PROFIT
AT COMMENCEMENT
“Life” Was Subject of Ser-I
mon Delivered at Mt. I
Pleasant Sunday by Min-!
ister of Washington.
LIFE’S POW ER
IS DESCRIBED|
Speaker Said Jesus Came!
to World so People Might
Have Life and Have It
More Abundantly.
(Staff Correspondent) •
Mt. Pleasant, May 23.—Declaring
that life is amazingly cheap at the 1
present time apd that the bandits hold
it cheap as do those who are commit
ting suicide in such large numbers. Dr.
John T. Huddle, jmstor of St. Paul's
Lutheran Church. Washington. D. C.,
delivered the baccalaureate 1 sermon be
fore the graduating classes of Mount
Pleasant Collegiate Institute and
Mont Ainoena Seminary Sunday morn
ing at Holy Trinity Lutheran Church,
and spoke on “Life” as being one of
the most valuable things in the world.
The sermon of Dr. Huddle was one
of the most powerful ever heard at
a commencement program of the two
institutions. It was full of truths
which the young men and women
would do well to take with them out
into life. Dr. Huddle reached ora
torical heights gripping the attention
of his hearers throughout his dis
course.
“One definition that we could give
of life is that it puts ‘go’ into things.
That is" true of the human body with
the lungs, heart, eyes, tongue and
hands and feet. As long as we have
life the members of the body can go,”
he said. “Life is very elusive. We
can’t grasp it and when the heart
stops life is over. Life also puts
‘go’ into the mind. Ambition and
faith are forms of life. Love is also
a form of life and it is love that makes
a mother care for her child as she
does: it is love which drives a sol
dier into battle: and it is love Avhich
takes a missionary into the heart of
the jungles with the story of Christ.”
Using as a text the wfords of Christ,
fotrad in the last part of the tenth
verse of the tenth chapter of the gos
pel according to John, “I am come
that they might have life, and that
they might have it more abundantly.”
Dr. Huddle said that he used the text
because the students before him were
going out into life and would face
duties and responsibilities of real life,
and because of the fact that life was
held so cheaply today.
The minister told of the large in
crease in suicides within the last few
years and especially "among the college
men and women of today. He stated
that it was not the ignorant man that
was committing suicide but the well
educated man from the better families
of the
had something to do with this cheap
ening of human life but the real cause
is that men have lost connection with
Him who is the source of life. Their
ideals are lowered and they have lost
sight of, anil connection with, Him
“in whom we live and have our be
ing,’ ” Dr. Huddle stated.
The speaker asked the question of
how were we to enhance the value of
the human life and then said “Science
says that/ ‘life is perfect correspond
ence with perfect environment.’ Sci
ence has done much in improving en
vironment. has done much in adapt
ing man to his environment, has done
much for our health; education has
done much for intellectual develop
ment, and wealth has done much to
improve our physical well being, but
there is a limit to what science, edu
cation and wealth can do.”
“I riendx,” said Dr. Huddle, “when
wet wajit real life, thrilling life, all day
loiig, every day of the year, we must
go to Him who said: ‘I came that
they might have life, and that they
might have it more abundantly.’
“Christ will give you life,” the min
ister said. “He will give you a long
life. A life of three score years and
ten if you keep the rules of life as
found in the Book. He gives a strong
physical life and Christians are do
ing much to give themselves strong
physical lives. He gives a strong in
tellectual life and people are doing
much to the development of a strong
intellectual race,” Dr. Huddle said,
and then told of the difference of wis
dom and* knowledge. He said that
knowledge comes from books and that
wisdom comes from above and from ex
perience. “The older person has more
wisdom than the young even though
the young one has had more from
books,” he said.
“And finally Christ gives a strong
moral and spiritual life. Christ's dis
ciples were cowards for a time hut
with the outpouring of the Holy Spirit
they became men with courage, men
with faith and men with love. Let
that kind of life be your &oal, young
people. I want to commend you to
Him who said ‘I am come that they
might have life and that they might
have it more abundantaly.’ Take Him
as your companion and friend. Life
will then be worth living and after
you live a long life others will rise
up and call you blessed,” declared
Dr. Huddle.
Dr, H. A. Stirewalt, of China
Grove, was organist for the service.
He rendered “Couvinir” by Drdla. as
an organ prelude. The choir sang
“They That Trust in the Lord,” and

a depth of 2 to 5 feet. Water was
rising at a rate of one foot an hour.

communication with the rest of the
world except by boat. Southern Pac
ific branch line tracks in the town
were two and one-half feet under
water. The town of Vermilion also
vanished under the surging fim»d.
So swift was the current sweeping
through the section that one man who
was caught in the water had most of
his clothing torn away before he could
struggle back to land.
