ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCHES VOLUME XXVII Lindbergh Flies Oyer Paris And Later Goes To Formal Reception ♦ Borrows French Plane and Enjoys Air Trip Over the Capital—Honors the Un known Soldier’s Grave. NOTABLES ATTEND LUNCHEON FOR HIM Later Flier Attended Re ception Given by Presi dent of France Where Many Officials Gathered. Paris, May 27. —04*)—Captain Lind bergh saw Paris from above this morn ing. and again was received in state by moot of the French' government when*hc came back to earth. It wap a morning of play for France’s hero, for be was able to spend an hour in the air and several other hours "talking shop" with lead ers of French aviation at Is> ltourger and Villa Coublny flying fields. His flight was made in n French plane in , which he saluted France's unknown soldier by making gra<-efu) dips over | the tomb in the Arc de Triomphe. | I.indbergh'e terrestrial ceremonials were resumed later, with a luncheon tendered by M. Painleve. at the minis try of war, attended by Marshnl Foch, General Pershing and foul members of the cabinet. I Afterward the flyer attended a vast reception at the residence of Paul Douinergue, president of the French senate. There most of the notables gathered to see and try to shake the hand of the New York-Paris traveler, j No sign of diminution of Captain Lindbergh's popularity was apparent today. The crowd which gathered outside the impressive home of the president of the senate rivalled the great concourse which yesterday cheered and cheered the, hero at a municipal reception. Tonight there will be a gala bene fit organized by tiny aero club for the relief of families of those who have died for nviation. Lindbergh will be there, and there are no tickets to be, bought at any price. T'hose inter-; ented had only to announce “Lind bergh will attend” to produce a rush I for tiokets which ordinarily people’ have, to urged to buy., . I The reception by M. Douinergue I \was held in the white and goid room of the palace of the president of the senate overlooking the beautiful latx emburg Gardens, now in full bloom of spring. | M. Doumergue creeted Lindbergh as “the new hero of aviation" who crossed the Atlantic "on wings that science and industry have given to man." “I will merely tell yon,” he con tinued, “and it is no alight eulogy, that because of your courage, tenacity and physical endurance, we regard you as a true brother of the heroic French aviators of the war, and their worthy comrades the American flyers, in front of \\hom we place the LaFayette Escadrille.” 1 Ambassador Herriek responded, thnnking M. Doumergue and members of the senate "from the bottom of my heart for the honor done Captain Lindbergh and his exploit” which he characterized “as inspired as was the. mission of LaFayette to America 150 years ago.” Lindbergh fspoke oriiy briefly aa usual. He traced the history and de velopment of nviation from the first efforts of Wright brothers through Rleriot’s pioneer voyage across the English Channel and concluded: “A few days ago I flew from New York to Paris. That may not have advanced the cause of civilization. But 1 confidently predict that within ten years there will be regular air service across the Atlantic from America to Europe.” This prediction from the flyer, whom Frenchmen have been bailing as “the world’s leading pilot," was received with an outburst of enthusiasm.

CARROLL GRIPPED BY BLOOM Theatrical Producer of Bathtub Fame, in Greenville Hospital. Loses Interest in Fate, Says Doc tor. Greenville, S. (’., Mny 26.—Ner vous and physical exhaustion, which Earl Carroll, New York theatrical producer, has been fighting since being admitted to the Greenville eitv hospital on April 13. now lias anoth er ally—despondency—according to Carroll’s attending physicians. The theatrical man lately iwu siipped into a state oj indifference, apparently. Dr. K. ('. Bruce said to day. He takes little interent in ins surroundings. H apparently does not wish to eat, his conversation is almost negligible, and in general lie seems not to care what becomes of him. This turn in the producer's con dition Is discouraging to his. , fiumjr and his attendants, they -frankly'•ad mit. It is believed that the slow re sponse his weakened body ami nerves showed following his collapse while enroute to Atlanta penitentiary to serve one year and one day 1 for per jury followin’): the noted bathtub in cident hns discouraged the prisoner patient more than the thought of the prison sentence. * With Our Advertisers.

Raleigh. May 27.—The search for J a capable rate expert to make a study *of the rate structure in Xmrth Caro j linn and its relation to all the South leasternI eastern states, as auhnrized by the ) State Transportation Advisory Com mission. is still going forward, but no one has yet been found for the work, according to I. X. Bailey, executive secertary of the commission. [ “I have held several conferences i with representatives of the Interstate t’oinmerce Commission and others, but Ins yet have not been able to get in | touch with anyone who is fitted for the particular work which the com mission wants-done.” says Mr. Bailey. There are three avenues open to the commission, whereby the rate survey may be made. A full time man may be employed by the commission to do the work. A mail may be secured only to do Tlie particular job. for a given length of time. ■Or one of the rates experts of the Interstate Commerce Commission may be “borrowed" from Washington to make the survey. If it is decided to employ a full time man, at a salary in keeping with the salaries paid other state employes, it will not be possible to get a rate expert of national reputation, since these big experts charge something like S2O a day and their expenses for their services. However, cheaper men ma.v be secured who can do the same work, though it might require more time. The second plan of securing a man to do the work for the duration of the job is probably the more feasible, ac cording to Mr. Bailey, although the third alternative of securing the serv ices of one of the government experts would he desirable, could it he arrang ed. However, owing to tile fact that there are so many request made upon tile Commerce Commission, and the fact that it is generally months behind its schedules, it is felt that there is slight chance of securing one of its rate experts. 11l the meantime ail three avenues are beiug thoroughly investigated KOVfET EMISSARIES ARE ' ' TOLD TO LEAVE LONDON Will Be Given Week or Ten Days To Wind Up Their Affairs.
