Bee Our Corner Windows 10th 0 SPEIER'S LAKE COAL CARGO RATE CUT PUT OFF Interstate Commerce Commission Issues Suspension Order in Railroad Hearings of Reduction Request. WASHINGTON, A suspension order issued today by the interstate commerce commission destroyed all hope for a reducdon this season in lake cargo coal a rates for the: West Virginia, Tennessee, Kentucky, and Virginia mining territory.

The Norfolk Western, Chesapeake Ohio, and Louisville and Nashville railroads, which had pro posed on Aug. 28 to apply a 20 cent per ton reduction to coal originating in that territory when consigned to great lakes ports for cargo purposes, were ordered to maintain their present schedules unchanged at least until March 28. In the meantime, the commission will institute an investigation to determine whether the reduction or any part of it should be allowed to become effective. The suspension marked another stage in the prolonged controversy between tuminous northern and southern bicoal operators over the great lakes cargo trade, which provided an outlet for upwards of 000,000 tons of coal a year. Northern operators were successful last June, over the protest of the southern group in obtaining a 20 cent per ton reduction in railroad rates on lake cargo coal originating in Ohio and Pennsylvania.

The com also held that the southern railroads would not be justified in cutting their schedules to meet this reduction which became effective Aug. 10. Notwithstanding this expression from the commission the principal southern railroads concerned the lake cargo traffic after conference with the mine operators of the southern territory determined to attempt to meet the northern rate cut. Their schedules, incorporating 20 percent, per ton. reductions; were the commission July 28, and immediately protests came to the commission from both branches of the coal industry.

The northern operators asserted the southern cut was aimed at removing an advantage from the northern producers, and that it was a disregard of the commission's finding after full investigation. The southern mine interests declared that the lake cargo trade would be lost for them completely by the northern rate advantage. ANOTHER HOP BY JUNKERS QUESTION (Continued from Page One.) cluded as the plane actually started for America and no guaranty to reach the United States was given. One of the directors of the Junkers works today said that the prospects of another attempt at a trans-Atlantic flight were extremely slight because of the advanced season. At the present time the experience gained by the twenty-two hour flight of the Bremen which carried her to Ireland being investigated by the Junkers technical board and the decision to make another attempt will depend largely on these, The findings.

official report of the Bremen's flight states that when heavily ballasted the Bremen southwest of Cork, was unable to contend against a western Atlantic gale, ing obliged to fly at full speed. 'The pilots and passengers thereupon decided to return at 6:15 arriving at Dessau after completing a flight of twenty-two hours and three minutes with a fuel consump tion of half the entire fuel carried. FOUR FLIERS RACING ON TOWARD HAWAII (Continued from Page One.) he was getting the beacon signals "fine." He was then 250 miles off shore. The Miss Doran, carrying the year "flying school teacher" of Flint, as a pasPedlar, and navigated by Lieut. senger, piloted by John, "Auggy" Vilas R.

Knope of the San Diego Naval Air station, was not equipped with radio and started across the sea with the understanding. that communication could be the only method of checking with ships enroute. Miss Mildred Doran, the "flying of Flint, in the biplane named for her, braved the 2,400 ocean stretch as a late starter after her plane had been forced to return to the airport due to engine trouble. Replacement of spark plugs and other hasty repairs delayed the plane more than an hour, but the school-teacher, her pilot, J. "Auggy" Pedlar, and navigator, Vilas R.

Knope, climbed into their seats and took the air safely on the second attempt. Lead By Hour and Half The other three planes in the air, with a lead of about an hour and a half, were blessed with the good luck of beautiful take-offs. They were the "Golden Eagle," piloted by Jack Frost, of New York, Use FOR A Prescription Hay Fever AR Try pay with relief when Rose Sinusitis, it. for you. on you Colds, it.

Two planes were sent crashing to earth because their wings would not lift the heavy cargo of gasoline got off the runway safely, but were forced to return to the field. Both Erwin and Griffin announced they hoped to get away after making re- pairs.

Air King Disqualified The other entry in the derby, the Air King, from Peoria, was disqualified by the starting comon the take-off. They were "El Encanto," the home-built monoplane of Lieut. Norman A. Goddard, of San Diego, navigated by Lieut. K.

C. Hawkins, of San Diego, and the "Pebco Flyer," the little orange and black monoplane, piloted and navigated by Maj. Livingston Irving, of Berkeley, CalM. The fact that these three men escaped death was considered miraculous by those who witnessed the accidents. The "Dallas Spirit," piloted by Capt.

W. P. Erwin, Dallas, and 1 the "Oklahoma," piloted by Bennett Griffin, Oklahoma City, mittee after the department of commerce had reported that it did not have sufficient gasoline capacity to complete the trip. A radio message from the steamer Wilhelmina reported that the Aloha passed north of the ship about 175 miles out at 2:50 p. approximately two hours and twenty minutes after the start.

Miss Mildred Doran, Michigan's flying school-teacher, got off in the Dole air race to Honolulu at 2:30 p. and her plane, piloted by J. A. Pedlar, began a chase after three other entrants which were well on their way out over the Pacific ocean. The "Miss Doran" was forced to return to the airport due to engine trouble after the first start, but took off again about one hour and a half after the leaders.

At 2:20 p. the plane carrying the school teacher as a passenger, was re ported passing Point Lobos. Oklahoma First in Air. The Oklahoma was the first to take the air. It taxied to the starting line, started down the even runway and left the ground just at noon.

Goddard's El Enchanto was at the post next. It lurched down the runway and. the crowd gave a gasp as it veered off the path at the 4,500 foot mark and turned over cracking one wing off. A cheer went up when both Gaddard and Hawkins crawled out. There was a short delay and then Major Irving gave his Pabco flyer the gun.

He roared down the stretch, but was unable to get more than a few feet off the ground. He taxied back, re-fueled and on his second take-off, "cracked up" at the end of the lane. Irving emerged from his cabin with tears in his eyes, exclaiming, "Now it's impos sible for me to take His terbaby girl rushed to side and ror-stricken and five were overjoyed to find him safe Frost, flying the San Francisco Examiner's "Golden Eagle," was next in the air. He' was followed girl school teacher and R. closely by Pedlar, who carried, the Knope, of San Diego.

Next went Martin Jensen, Honolulu aviator, flying the monoplane, Aloha. Goebel took his turn, making a grace ful take-off in the monoplane, Woolaroc. The last off the runway was Captain Erwin in his Dallas Spirit. The Dallas Spirit took off beautifully and flew as far as the Golden Gate, but was forced to return te the field by mechanical trouble, and the Oklahoma came shortly after its take off and after circling about the field a few times to be sure that the runway was clear, it landed safely, Great crowds surged about the runway and shrieked, gasped and cheered as the starters succeeded or failed to take the air from the 7,000 foot runway. Police struggled to hold them back.

The "Miss Doran" developed motor trouble at 800 feet and turned back from the Golden Gate. The young woman passenger was smiling when she stepped from the machine, apparently a trifle unnerved and disappointed. Mechanics be gan to work feverishly and succeeded in getting the entry back into the air at 2:03 o'clock. Deafening applause rose from the spectator's when the twenty-twoyear-old teacher was seen to walk from the group of friends and climb into her cabin, waving and smiling in response to the tribute paid her. The forced landing had not frightened her.

Ships on Lookout, As the first plane tok off, word was radioed out to ships at sea to be on their guard and report sight or wireless word of them. All the planes in the air were monoplanes with the exception of Pedlar's. His was a biplane. Work was being rushed late today on the badly ripped under fuse lage. of the Dallas Spirit, where it was blown from the framework shortly after it started.

Little was said about the Oklahora. Men were working on the ship and questioners could only surmise by intensity of their efforts that the plane would not abandon the race. The two crashes were spectacu lar and strangely devoid of fire. Elaborate preparations had been made by field officials to handle a fierce gasoline tire for it was believed that if a plane crashed in the it stood little chance of escaping being burned. Two Fall to Rise, The El Encanto failed to lift before it arrived at the end of the runway.

The plane swerved off to the right and striking the rough, "nosed over," burying the lower part of the motor in the ground. The left wing of the plane was completely demolished and the fuselage torn. The' mishap to Irving's plane came when the craft lifted a few feet from the ground but could not gain altitude. It was more a long hop rise. When it struck the ground, it tipped and the right wing was crumpled against the ground.

Irving's wife tried to cheer him in the face of blasted ambition to be the first solo flier to the islands.

Eating and drinking and making were the order of the day when the Buzzies held their picnic last Thursday, Starting out early in the morning, the girls hiked to the creek in time for dinner. As 5000 as dinner was over the girls made a bee-line for the old swimmin' hole.

Three of the girls surprised the rest of their crowd by their exhibition of swimming. No one had suspected them of this ability, but they informed their friends that that was one of the things they had learned at the 44H club camp at Deweese. Tho the activities began so early they did not end till six o'clock. By that time the food containers were empty, the swimmers exhausted, and everyone was ready' to go home. They were afraid that the three miles going back would be longer than but fate smiled upon the happy crowd when a boy friend drove by in his truck, turned at the corner and returned to load the trudgers in and take them home.

Defense attorneys argued the refusal of Wagner to submit to arrest, an affront at the whole state of Nebraska, and Broquet was justifled in taking any means which he thought the danger of the situation justified.
