He Gave Another Test
Flight During Night.
San Francisco, June 28.—OP)—Af
ter bopping off from tbe Oakland mu
nicipal airport at 7:0t) 1-2 a. m., with
out effort or much ceremony, jthe
giant army Fokker, piloted by Lieu
tenant Lester J. Maitland and Lieu
tenant Albert Hagenberger as navi
gator passed through the Golden Gate
at 7:20 a. m. today, and swung out
over the Pacific toward its goal—Hon
oinln. j,
As the big army plane passed
through the Golden Gate and was op
posite Lands End, the most westerly
point on the San Francisco coastline,
it was 2,600 feet in the air.
The steamer Mataonia, coming in
from Honolulu, the destination of the
airplane, blew its whistle in one long
blast, bidding the aviators goodbye.
The plane started down the runway
raising such a great cloud of dust
that the spectators could not see the
machine. .
The screams of several women could
be heard aindist the cheers of the spec
tators. They feared the huge ma
chine might not leave the ground suc
cessfully. ,
Seconds tba. seemed minutes elapsed
to&reJhe pt&t
the cloud of dutrt. f ''
“They’re off, they’re in the air,”
shouted the crowd, and another cheer
arose from civilians and army men.
Overhead circling and swinging
about the field were several army
service planes. As soon as the Fokker
cleared the ground these escort ma
chines struck out in a westerly course j
and fell in formation behind the Fok
ker as she passed over the San Fran-{
cisco Bay, heading toward the Golden •
Gate. ' v ' A
The fleet of escort planes left the
Fokker as she swung out over the sea
at an altitude estimated at 2,000 feet. 1
The secondary question was “when
will Smith leave?” '
All night long mechanics worked
on the Smith plane to correct final
details. Smith and his navigator,
Chas. H. Carter, of Los Angeles, ar
rived at tbe camp shortly before the
army plarfe took off. They said they
had enjoyed four' hours sleep during
the night, and were ready to leave as
soon as their plane was pronounced
complete in all details.
An unexpected delay was encount
ered when Smith found he needed a
new altimeter. Army air servie of
ficials offered Smith the use of one
of their altimeters and a plane was
dispatched to Crissy Field for the in
strument. .
The army officials also loaned Smith
smoke and flare drop bombs with
which he might check his drift dur
ing the day and night.
Smith declared he hoped to be able
to take off during tbe morning.
The army is “on its own” in the
Hawaiian flight.
No special aid has been ttfked of
tbe navy or tbe shipping board, as
has been the case in past aviation at
tempts involving the covering of thou
sands of miles of ocean water.
Ships at dea are expected to report
the progress of the plane, but there
have been no orders for the formation
of ship lines safety in
the event of a forced landing.
The army’s explanation of this is
that there will be no forced landing.
Preparations! for tbe Bight have been
secret bat very thorough, and its suc
cessful outcome in the functioning of
the navigation instruments aboard are
expected to be a major factor in the
development of trans-oceanic airplane
travel.
Regarding the flight purely as a
scientific test without the thrills of
the Lindbergh adventure, the army
air corps today had not even set up
a system to obtain information from
its two flyers, depending largely on
casual reports from ahipa at sea or
from other sources.
Just before the takeoff Lieutenant
’ Maitland sent this telegram to As
sistant prep
equipment, and will take off between

Municipal Airport, Oakland, Calif.,
June 28. —OP)—Ernest L. Smith, ci :
vilian flyer, who started on a non
stop flight to Honolulu today, and
was forced to return because of a
broken windshield, said he intended
immediately tq install a new shield,

ANOTHER MAN HI NT
IN SOUTH CAROLINA
However, No Trace of Negro Who la
Alleged to Have Attacked Woman,
is Found.
York, June 27.—Several thousand
people from York and adjoining
counties combed the country between
Hickory Grove aud Broad river to
day .without capturing a strange
negro* who is alleged to have matte
an attempt at criminal assault early
this morning on a married woman,
20 years old, living a mile from
Hickory Grove.
In the afternoon Interest in the
man hunt began to wane very per
ceptibly, due to an undercurrent of
feeling but at first only guarded.y
expressed, that the alleged assault
might not rest on a substantial basis.
The woman’s husband and her
father-in-law plowed all day in sight
of the house, unperturbed by the ex
citement around. By the middle of
the afternoon many of the citizens
searching, convinced that the whole
affair was much ado about nothing,
abandoned the hunt. The officer* re
mained in the vicinity hut it was
plainly evident „ that they felt no
more interest in the affair.
In the morning and middle of the
day western York was aflame with
adjacent counties. Indications were
strong that if the suspect was cap
tured a lynching would quickly fol
low. Acting on this information, re
ceived. however, from private
sources ami not from Sheriff Fred
E. Quinn. Governor Richards had
the Rock Hill military company mo
bilized and rushed to Hickory Grove
jto preserve order. The soldiers. 40 In
number in charge of Captain Darnell
! Mathews, stacked arms under the
j trees of the Associate Reformed
Presbyterian church and nwaited de
velopments. _
j According to the young > woman’s
story, she was gathering blackberries
in a low spot about' 800 yards from
' her borne when she was attacked. “I
had on a bonnet and the fiftit 1
knew of tbe negro'e, presence was
when I felt bis hands on my throat.”
She says a desperate struggle ensued
in which she successfully fought the
negro off. She is a woman of strong
physique and is the mother of a four
months old baby.'

Tlie Tribune Bureau
Sir Walter Hotel
Raleigh, June 28. —While there has
been a heavy decrease in the number
of new measles and whooping cough
cases in the state in tbe past two
weeks, there is a corresponding in

comparison to but 10 two weeks be
fore, while only 31 new cases were
reported during the corresponding
week in June a year ago.

“Adequate and expeditious trans

Law Requiring Reports of All
Accidents is Important One
The Tribune Bureau
Sir Waiter Hotel
By J. C. BASKERVILL
Raleigh, June 28.—0 f the many new
laws governing operation of motor ve
hicles on the highways of tbe state
that go into effect July Ist, there is
none more important than the one
requiring officers in all sections of
the state to make a complete report
of all accidents in which persons arc
injured or killed to the motor vehicle
bureau in Raleigh within 48 hours af
ter the accident shall have taken place,
according to R. A. Doughton, commis
sioner of revenue and motor vehicles.
That peace officers over the state
are already familiar with the law and
anxious to cooperate with the motor
vehicle department is indicated by the
fact that while the law does not go
into effect until Friday, July Ist, a
number of complete reports of aeci,
dents have already been received from
all sections of the state. All of the
accidents reported so far have been
fatal ones. These reports are ail
made ont on the special forms which
have been sent to all sheriffs, depu
ties. justices of the peace and cor
oners. The blank, which is to be
filled out by the peace officer making
the investigation of the accident, is
printed on pink paper, while the blank
that is to be filled out by the coroner
in cases of fatal accidents is white,
and does, as detailed a re
port as the pink bladk.
“I am firmly convinced that this
particular law requiring detailed *c
connts of accidents in which any per- 1
son is injured or killed will do much
toward reducing the number of high
way accidents,” said Commissioner 1
Doughton. “From the reports that ;
have already been received, even
thought the law has not yet gone into 1
effect, we can see the benefits that
are going to result from it.
“For aside from giving accurate in
formation regarding the circumstances 1
surrounding the accidents reported, it 1
will also enable us to check up! on 1
the drivers of the cars and the licenses
they were being operated under.
“For instance, in one of the acci- i
denta already reported, we have found

Mr. Shoe planted his cotton at a

THE COTTON MARKET
Opened Steady at Decline of 4 Points
on July But Generally One to Four
Points Higher.
New York, June 28.— UP) —The cot
ton market opened steady today at
a decline of 4 points on July, which
was influenced by the circulation of
notices, but generally 1 to 4 points
higher on covering and trade buying,
promoted by the steadier showing of
Liverpool.
Early estimates placed the first July
notices here at about 170,000 bales,
but trade interests were active buyers
of July at the opening differences, and
the price soon advanced from 16.40
to 16.54, or 7 points net higher. Later
months stiffened up as the near
months steadied, the general market
showing net advances of about 4 to 9
points at the end of the first hour.
Continued covering and fresh buy
ing sent prices up to 17.03 for Oc
tober, or about 18 to 22 points above
yesterday’s closing quotations. The
market was within a few points of
these figures at midday.

that one of the cars involved was be

dientiug that there might hf
violation of the law by set ”
evade the payment of the '\_ <r wdfr
license fee. This is but one instance
of many which we believe will fol
low.” «
Another noticeable thing noted from
the reports so far received is that most
of the accidents occurred on the open
roads with no contributary road con
ditions to blame and that in many
cases the ears were being driven by
others than the owners.
Mnch detailed information is called
for on the pink blanks which must be
filled out by the officers investigating
the accident. First, the name of the
operator or operators of the vehicles
involved are called for as well as the
names of the owners, also the age
and sex of the operators, the make of
the vehicles and the type of brakes.
In another section on the blank
must be given the date of the acci
dent, the time of day and whether
light, dusk or dark, also the approxi
mate location on the highway or street
involved and the city, county or town.
The character of the road, type of
road surface, weather conditions and
traffic density must also he given.
The approximate speed of the vehicle
or vehicles is also called for, and
whether the accident was due to any
mechanical defect.
On the reverse side of the blank
the one reporting the accident is also

ATHEISTS OPEN DRIVE
IN NORTH CAROLINA
Winston-Salem Already Has Club and
Others Are Being Planned.
Winston-Salem, June 27. — The as
sociation for the advancement of
atheism is spreading its works into
North Carolina, and already one ehap
ter ha* been •
names of It's seven members have
been withheld.
But the most significant index to
the aspirations of the heads of this
movement lies in a statement by
diaries Smith, head of the organiza
tion in New York, that steps are
being taken to found a chapter of the
society at. Duke university, in Dur
ham, Methodist institution which has
been the object of vast bequests from
the Duke family.
It is also learned that one of the
members of the local chapter a few
years ago wrote a loug story in pam
phlet form, in which he very em
phatically denied the divinity of Christ.
This has been preserved.
In a statement given out by At- ,
torney T. W. Kellam, of this city,
he says that after reading a story
in World's Work, he went to New
York City to investigate the article.
He visited the office of Smith, Hud
learned that the magazine article was 1
authentic. During his stay in New
York, Kellam states that he went
hehiud closed doors with Smith and
several other strange men. <
It was during the local man's in
terview that he learned these men
openly den led the existence of a God
and the divine creation of man. He
was also ahbiired by Smith that a
chapter had already been established
in Winston-Salem with seven mem- ,
hers. The first Organization, it is
contended, was formed in New York
in October 1025.
It was during this meeting that the
plans of the organization with regard
to Duke university were revealed.
