ONE PLANE ISSTILL
WINGING ITS WAY ON
VOYAGE! HAWAII
Flagship of Two Planes
Which Took Off Monday
Has Covered Half of the
Distance of Voyage.
OTHER PLANE IS
FORCED TO WATER
Broken Oil Pressure Lines
to Engine Made It Nec
essary for Plane to De
scend During Night.
San Francisco, Cal., Sept. I.— UP)
With half its voyage to Hawaii ac
complished, the flagship of the two
1it,500 pound seaplanes which took off
from San Francisco Bay was winging
its way westward today.
The other plane was afloat on the
surface of the Pacific Ocean 300 miles
west of San Francisco, with the de
stroyer Wm. Jones standing by. The
destroyer captain messaged he would
take the disabled plane in tow. '
Reports from the Jones were that
the plane, the PN-9, No. 3 was in dif
ficulty due to broken oil pressure
lines to both engines.
Communications between the PN-fl
No. 1 and the air eraft carrierd Lang
ley were established shortly before 3
a .m. today when it was calculated
that the flag plane was nearing the
halfway mark of the flight.
The plane still in the air, had been
nverag'ng approximately 07 nautical
miles, or 77 land miles nn hour since
the takikiff. Reports from the naval
ships along the route, indicated it
was flying before a 2ft mile northeast

UNUSUAL SUIT TO
BE TRIED IN ROWAN
Minors DM Not Sign Deed of Sale
and Now Are Making Demand.
Salisbury, Aug. 31.—An unusual
civil suit nppeam on the cnlendnr of
the September term of Rowan Su
perior court as arranged at the meet
ing of the Rowan Bar Association
Friday afternoon.
The case in question relates to the
site on which the defunct People
MW
structure itself- The litigation is be
tween J. Khrle Foots as receiver for
the bank, and J. William Miller and
sister, Mrs. Elizabeth Miller Shaw,
and her husband, Judson B. Shaw,
the last two now residents of the
State of Georgia, son nnd daughter
ami heirs of the lntc Mrs. Mary
Julian Duttera, whose first husband
wasthe late William H. Miller.
The mother of the two defendants
Mr. Miller ami Mrs. Shaw, held a
one-third life interest in the site on
which the bank building is now
located and some time before her
death the property was sold to the
Peoples National Bank, the mother
of the plaintiffs signing the deed
along with the others interested in
the site, the purchase being for the
purpose of erecting a home for the
bank, which was done- No one, it is
said, has assigned, or was authorized
to sign the deed for the then minor
children who are now the defendants,
nnd some months ago, some time af
ter the bank failed, the discovery is
said to have been made of the situ
ation as related above, and arrange
ments were made to start action. The
plaintiff, J. Earle Foutz, receiver for
the bank, is seeking to limit the
claim of Mr. Miller and Mrs. Shaw,
while It is said they are seeking to
establish the right to a one-third in
terest in the entire property, site and
building. The bank receiver resists
this and at best seeks to hold the
claim to a one-third interest in the
lot on which the building is located.
There are legal aspects touching on
improvemens oh cerain properties, it
is learned, nnd these will be invoked
on the one side, while the other will
i contest for a full onethird share as
the property now stands. The pro
perty as a whole is now valued at
approximately $40,000 to $50,000.
The property was sold by Mr.
i Foutz in winding up the affairs of
■ the bank to J. 11. Maynard who ex
i pected to use the building to house
■ Maynard Brothers music stor#. How
■ ever, the transfer was delayed when
i the question of the title arose.
The final dividends of the bank
I cannot be paid until the suit is de
i cided.

Two Major Problems
Facing The President
' A
Coal Strike and Refusal of
Shipping Board Member
to Resign Get Attention
of Mr. Coolidge.
NO NEW POLICY
IS CONTEMPLATED
So Far As the Strike Is
Concerned, It Is Said.—
May Take Steps to Make
E. E. Haney Quit Post.
10c* .-Vv Aides' -
Swampscott, Sept. 1. — UP) —Two
domestic issues confronting flip ad
ministration. the anthracite situation
and the shipping board controversy
overshadows all others in importance
today in view of President Coolidge,
approaching the , end of his vacation
here.
Repeatedly it has been indicated
that the Federal government will take
no hand in the wage dispute between
the hard coal operators and the min
ers, Now that suspension of anthra
cite operations has become a reality
there is no indication that the admin
istration contemplates- a move re
stricted as it is by law, other than to
do xvhat it can tto insure an adequate
full supply in anthracite consuming
territory.
Pending his return to Washington
probably within a week. President
Coolidge will keep tab on develop
ments through the press and reports
from government observers.
With regard to the shipping board
controversy brought to a head by the
President’s demand for the resignation
of E. E. Haney of Oregon, as com
missioner, what Mr. Coolidge will db
in viaw of Mr. Haney’s refusal to quit
is problematical. He may take ac
tion designed to bring about Haney’s
removal, or may dispose of the prob
lem by awaiting the December session
of Congress and submitting the name
of somebody else for Mr. Haney's place
on the board. i
Will Not Resign.
Washington, Sept. 1. —04 s ) —While
Mr. Haney had received no word to
day from Swampscott himself, be was
informed of press adviees that the
President hoped he would reconsider
his decision. He declared he could
not consider resigning as long as the
President based his request for the
resignation on “an alleged breach of
faith.”
Mme de Brown de Tiegc, who has
been elected Burgomaster of the vil
lage of Wallet, near Dinant. is the
first woman in Belgium to hold such
a position.

Mouse Conquers Rattler
j By Eating His Eyes Out
Burlington, Sept. 1, —Cast into the
den of a rattlesnake to be made a meal
of, a mouse, no bigger than the end of
a man's thumb, turned tables and
made a meal on the rattler and as a
result the snake “is as blind as a bat.”
The rattler, about four feet long,
is one brought from Moore's Springs
a week ago by George Clapp, ’ and
since that time has been on display
in the veterinary hospital of Dr. J.
P. Spoon on Worth street.
The rattler has been languid, from
the time it arrived here, as if unable
to throw off the spell under which
Mr. Clapp said he was able to cap
ture it.
In the belief that the snake might
be tiekled to find with it a choice
morsel of food, a mouse was caught
and tucked under the wire screen cov
ering the box cage. It acted as if “at
home” from the time it landed on the
snake's back.

Cattle Industry Will Not Recover for
' Several Years From Drought.
Raleigh. N. C., Sept. L—GP>—That
the cattle industry of Western North
Carolina will not recover for several
years from the effect of the drought,
is the fear voiced by W. A. Graham?
commissioner of agriculture.
The pastures, Mr. Graham, who re
cently returned from a trip over the
mountain section, explains, have died,
and farmers are facing the prospect of
neither grain nor fodder to feed the
cattle. The result is that hundreds of
mountain farmers are having to sell
their cattle.
The mountain section, Mr. Graham
believes, is naturally adapted to dairy
ing and cattle raising, and he deplores
the set-back that the cattle industry
in the western half of the Htate is re
ceiving as a result of the drought.
