r - VOLUME XXVII Byrd And Three Companions Ride On Through Fog Which Hides All Views From Them i FI MCE TO TEST BIG PUHE Since Byrd Looked Uponj His Flight as Scientific; One Wholly, Trip Has Given Chance for Tests. FOG HOLDSTHE PLANE IN GRIP Since 3 p. m. Yesterday the Airmen Had Not Been Able to See Land or Sea Because of Heavy Fog. (By the Associated Press) Commander Byrd's prediction that his flight to Paris would be a scien tific test came true with amazing re sults today. He astonished the world of aviation by radioing that he hail seen neither land nor sea sipce yes terday afternoon. > Ten thousand feet up (his morning in "freezing dense fog, 1 ’ 2ft hours af ter leaving New York, he neverthe less was true on his course about (TOO miles off the British Isles. The piane*s automatic signal “WT- W" tapped clearly in the ears of radio operators on two trans-Atlantic steamships—the Berlin and Hamburg —and the wireless station at Valencia island reported fjoinmauder ByrdVi position as- approximately 300 miles off the Irish coaat at 6:30 a. in., eastern daylight time. The steamship Berlin estimated the America to be about 800 miles west of Lands End, England, at 4:20 o'clock this morn ing. If all goes well, Byrd and hi* three companions should be bearing down upon Le Bourget Field, Paris, some time about 5 p. m., eastern standard- . time, this afternoon. Through blanketing fog—so thick . JM #y«c-rrold .mrtwee ; tfie'tffta of the plane’s Wings—OmW mander Byrd drove the America for many long anxious hours last night. A radio from Byrd at 7:46 this morn ing stated that everything was cov ered with fog and he had not seen land nor sea since 3 o’clock yester day afternoon. The doughty com mander had met his wish—to gain aeronautical knowledge under all pos sible conditions. The America was making fast time, having reeled off 2,300 miles from Roosevelt Field in 23 hours, if her position as figured by the steamship Berlin is correct. Expect to Land at 11 O'clock. Is* Bourget, France, June 30.—(A 5 ) —A message" from Commander Rich ard E. Byrd relayed by a British sta tion here stated that the American aviator expected to reach Paris by 11 o’clock tonight. The message did not siiecify whether this was Greenwich or French time. Fear Bad Weather Will Continue. Paris, June 30.—(A*)—The bad weather through which Commander Byrd and his companions in the trans- Atlantic plane America battle during the first part of their flight seemed likely this afternoon to be repeated at the end. From the southern coast of Ireland to the English Channel and then down the air lane to Le Boruget field, the weather was rainy or uncertain. Big cloud banks obscured the sun, which peeped through only at intervale. -Over Paris itself storm clouds hung thickly during the early afternoon and the weather prediction for tonight was: “Cloudy, partially stormy, with raine and squalls. Wind from south west to west.” If the weather man is right, the di rection of the wind at least will be a factor in favor of the flyers, j Just ae the quiet courage of Lind- j bergh in his lonely flight across the Atlantic gripped the French mind, so has the scientific aspect of Command er Byrd's attempt made its impression, and all Paris this afternoon was wait ing impatiently for the outcome. “This will really prove whether commercial aviation across the ocean is feasible,” was the tenor of the comment heard. .Inly Clearance Sale At Robinson’s..

The Tribune Bureau Sir Walter Hotel Raleigh, June 30. —Irish potato pro ducers of eastern North Carolina are “sitting on top of the world,” having just marketed a bumper crop for ex cellent prices. Early estimates were smashed during the past week, and then the total number of carlot ship ments exceeded those of last year, which made this the banner Irish po tato year. This success spells about $7,000,000 to the Irish potato producers who were not hacked by early pessimism but got busy and marketed their crops with lightning rapidity, it was point ed out at the State department of agriculture. Illustrative of the range of ship ments, the department, cited the fol lowing cities to which carlots of North Carolina potatoes have moved this week: New York, Detroit, Cleve land, Philadelphia, Chicago, Cincin nati, Indianapolis, Charleston.

BASKERVILLE i Ralegh, June 30.—The heaviest ,barrage that has .vet been turned i against the State Board of Health | tending to indicate that in some cas es. at least, undue arbitrariness has been exercised in the enforcement of j the sanitary privy laws, was unloosed :by the (legation of witnesses from 1 Gaston county. No graft was charg ed. but incidents were related wh ! ch indicated a strong suspicion of col lusion and of excessive arbitrariness |on the part of the sanitary inspector i involved. B. F. Rowland. However, j Rowland maintained he d;d nothing 'more than his duty, when the probe of graft changes was renewed Wednes . day. Five witnesses in all testified from Gaston county. These were R. Froh man, groceryman and real estate man, in Gastonia: W. A. Wiggins and-C. E. Wright, carpenters: J. F. Wal | lace, merchant and property owner of , Stanley, and J. M. Holland, property owner in Gastonia, and who acted as I chief Interrogator. While none of these witnesses had had any run-ins or disagreement with Rowland, most of them indicated that | in their opinions he showed undue dis j crimination. It was also indicated by j their testimony that Rowland had j seemed to show a preference for the I toilets built by a carpenter named | Key, who often apnlied for the job i of rebuilding a toilet within a few I hours or a day after it had been con demned -by Rowland. In the case of Mr. Holland, for in stance. Mr. Holland stated that about 1923. he had built some 20 or more privies, in accordance with the then existing specifications of the Board of i Health. Later, in 1925, Rowland came along and because these toilets were different from the specifications then in effect, he was required to tear down every one of these that had been built two years before, and build ab solutely new ones, before they were passed b.v Rowland. Yet in another section of Gastonia privies of the other type were allowed to stand, and are still standing. Mr Holland exhib ited actual photographs as evidence.

Some of the charges made against Rowland were: That he condemned one toilet because the lids to the seat did jiot extend two inches over- the ledge, as the specifications called for; that lie recommended this one carpen ter named Key to almost everyone;, that he passed privies built by Key that contained defects, which if found in one not built b.v him, he would condemn: that he had condemned the toilets owned by the Ozard mills in Gastonia, and ordered that the privies be rebir'lt out of new lumber, but that when Key was given the contract, he permitted Key to use much of the old lumber; that he had approved some toilets built before those of Hoi-1 land, and of an older design, hut com pelled Holland to tear his down and build new ones, and many other sim ilar charges. Rowland denied some of these charges outright, and in many other instances "didn’t remember" the ex act circumstances. He admitted that Kpy followed him to Gastonia and Gaston county, and said that Key was the only carpenter he had found who could build a privy exactly ac cording to specifications. He denied, however, that he allowed Key to work with him. or that he had ever receiv ed any money from Key. He also said that the only circumstances un der which he ever condemned a privy was when there was some radical de fect. making it insanitary, and that in all cases where he had condemned ' them, this was the case. Rowland was still on the stand when the hearing recessed late in the after- 1 noon. He was unshaken and unruf- 1 fled b.v the many questions shot at 1 him. Earlier in the day a large number ' iof witnesses from Hendersonville and Henderson county testified concerning the work of John E. Floyd, the saiii- ' tary inspector in that section, ami without exception, they gave Floyd a clean slate. One of them stated that Floyd hid accomplished so much good iii H e,l <lerson county in cleaning it up and ridding it of disease, that lie de served the gratitude of every resident 1 of the county. No indication was given of just when the probe would end. WILL ASK STATE TAKE OVER ROAD Meeting Is Held in Mooresville; Chairman of Committee Appointed.
