PRICE FIVE CENTS ‘e os HEAVY CLOUDS INTENSE COLD, MARRED FLYGHT London Daity Mail Correspon-/ dent Tells Experiences of Harry Hawker RESCUED BY WARSHIPS Water Cooling System Failed to Work in High Alti- tude London, May. 27.—The correspon: dent of the Dally Mail, who is travel- ing with Marry G. Hawker and Lt. Commander Grieve on their way to this city, sends from Inverness, Scot- land, a detailed account of the: diffi- culties encountered by the two alr- men. 0 Sie During the first four hours of the journey the air was freezing cold, but the airmen were comfortable. Haw- ker, however, was unable to steer & good course because of the clouds. being at times forced to go around them, ‘ MY - ._When about 800 miles out to sea the weather continued bad and clouds rose to great heights. Several times Hawker tried to clear them but lost height at every attempt, and each time the machine was sare r i stay * resa of the trip. 7 “We had not as yet doubted being successful in getting across,” Hawker said. ‘We ‘continued. at this height until we had been in the air 12 1-2 hours. ‘Then came heavy clouds again. They were very high, reaching a level of 15,000 feet and being very ‘black. It was almoct impossible to steer through thém, and the water boiled badly.” Hawker described his. efforts to find the cause of the trouble with the water cooling system, and he conclud- ed. something had worked into the water filter between the radiator and the pump, and that the only thing: to do‘was to stop the motor and put the hse of the machine down sttply, with the hope that this might clear away the: ‘refuse in the fileter. “This was Harry G.

BEGINS North Dakota Railway Commis- sion Asked to Pass on $3,000,000 Merger MANAHAN HANDLES CASE Sunny Jim Represents Dakota Heat, Light & Power Co., the Petitioner pace a3 .important public utility iid before the North Dakota mmission since the passage - of the ack ot the 16th assembly Droad- ening its powers in this respect be- gan at 10 this morning when the board was asked to aprove the $3,000,- 000 combine proposed, by the Dakota eHat, Light & Powér Co. a Main- Minnesota cerporation, of the heat, light and power plants of 13 North Dakota. -cities. - The hearing is doubly interesting because James Manahan, former con- gressman at large from Minnesota and one of Townley’s principal legal advisors in the National Nonpartisan League, has come all the way from St. Paul to handle the case for the Dakota Heat, Light & Power Co. The corporation is said to repose much confidence in the ability of the Hon- orable Jim’to deliver. The railway commission has never indicated how it feels in the matter. Before Mr. ‘Manahan entered the lists as chief of counsel for the public utility combine ttle progress had been made. The company foozled its approach through ity:failure.to keep up with North Da: kota politics, and. made its original application through the attorney gen- eral'g\ offic that the entente cordiale between Langer and’ the railway board had been rudely jostled by Langer's cata- clysmic break with Boss Townley. Now that Manahan is at the helm, the company’s advance appears to ‘be Proceeding more ‘smoothly, tho #t. is not yet over the bunker, and today’s hearing, before the full railway com- mission, is expected to be interesting: . Public utility plants of Dickinson, Mandan, Bismarck, Dickinson, Lisbon, Cooperstown, Devils Lake, New Rock- ford, Carrington, Casselton, Cando, Fessenden and one or two other North Dakota towns would be included in the combine, which plans to block off the state, to absorb light and power plants in the smaller cities, and to serve larger areas from central power plants located at the larger points. Ultimately the company plans to es- tablish one or two large plants at the mouth of appropriately located lig- nite minés from which .all of its Points will be supplied via high-power transmission lines.

Will eB Last Word, The fact that the peace conference has been informed that no further ex- tension of time is to be asked, would seem to indicate that the document to be turned over tomorrow would be Germany’s last word before taking a definite attitude toward the terms of peace, i Dispatches seem to reflect a sharp division of sentiment among the Ger- mans as to whether the treaty should be signed. ‘Delay on Austrian Terms. It Was announced last week that the terms to be offered Austria would ‘be considered at a plenary session to- day. Since that time delays have oc- curred in considering the section dealing with reparation. A portior of the terms, however, may be ready for presentation before the end of the present wek.

SETS OUT FOR LAST LEG OF LONG FLIGHT ACROSS ATLANTIC OCEAN Get-Away Made Early This Morning and Landing at Lisbon Ex- pected by 1 O’clock This Afternoon—To Spend Night in Por- tuguese Capital and Resume Journey to Plymouth, Eng., To- morrow Morning—Plane Is Making 80 Knots an Hour. Ponta Delgada, May 27.—With Commander Reed confident he would reach the coast of Portugal before darkness tonight, thus achieving the coveted honor of making the first transatlantic flight, the NC-4 started this morning for Lisbon at 6:18 New York time. The crew of the seaplane which was the same as that which made the memoriable flight from Newfoundland to Azores, board- ed the plane an hour before synrise, but it was not: until several hours later that the giant machine taxied out of the harbor, rose to windward, and gracefully took the hours, and circled for her destination amid cheers of sailors and soldiers who lined ships in the harbor and the crowds on the piers, together with shrieks from the whistles of all marine craft in sight. GREAT DIN OF WHISTLES ___,. The din of whistles was kept up for several minutes, the plane in the meantime disappearing over the horizon. The weather was almost perfect, and only a light northwest wind was blowing. Lieut. Commander Ree intends to remain in Lisbon over night, and start for Plymouth, England tomorrow morning, weather permitting. The |course between here and Lisbon is marked by fourteen American destroyers, stretched out along the route to guide the flyers, and, if necessary, to give them assistance. The NC-4 passed station ship 9 at 16:18 Greenwich time, 12:08 Washington time. _ Station 9 is dpproximately 350 miles from Lisbon, and»450 miles from Ponta Delgada. The seaplane made'the 450-mile flight in approximately six hour: BOXCAR ROBBERY WITNESSES AGAIN TURN UP MISSING Prospects of Trial of Case Against Les Simpson and Sheriff Hartung Poor BOXRUD NOW DISAPPEARS Conductor of Crew Said ‘to Be .wimplicated Gone—Briaton Sues Old Neighbors Uncle Sam is sadly short of wit- nesses for the prosecution at the spring term of federal court for the southwestern North Dakota district, to open ‘here June 9, of former Senator Leslie Simpson, Sheriff T. N. Hartung and A. N. Boxrud of Dickinson, charg- ed. with having spirited out of this jurisdiction material witnesses in an alleged box-car robbery case tried at a recent term of federal court here. Boxrud, conductor of the Northern Pacific crew which is alleged to have carried on a more or less systematic. pilfering of box-cars which were in trains in their charge, was one of the|* principal defeudants in the original box-car robbery cases tried in federal court here. Two of his brakemen, ma- terial witnesses for the government, were of draft age, and shortly before the date set for the trial of Boxrud and others, these two young men were inducted into the service and sent to Camp Custer. When the government arraigned Koxrud it had no, witnesses, and the court directed a verdict for the defendant. HPA WA Later the two brakemen. were, re- turned from Camp”Custer, tried, ,con- victed and sent to Leavenworth, where both of them died from Spanish influenza within a few months. Fol- lowing their trial came the indict- ment of Simpson, who was attorney for Boxrud, et al; Hartung, who as sheriff was member of the Stark county draft board, and Boxrud. Then Boxrud dropped out of signt. His family still remains in Dickinson, but all recourses of the federal and state governments and private means which have been resorted to to locate the former Northern Pacific conductor have failed. Ag a result, it is not cer- tain that Simpson and Hartung can be tried at this term of court, WISHEK CASE MAY GO OVER. ‘The cas> against John H. Wishek of Ashley, one of the prominent finan- ciers of the southern ‘part of the state, a former senator and once a candidate for governor, charged with) violation of the espionage act, proba- bly will go over to -the next’ term. Wishek was tried at the last term ot} court here, and the jury disagreed. The principal count made against Wishek by the government was that he had purchased and distributed in} McIntosh county a large number ot copies of a booklet eulogistic of Ger-) many. BRINTON LIBEL SUIT. Probably the most interesting of the civil actions to be tried at this term! will be a libel sult brought against former neighbors at Beach by J. W. Brinton, one of Townley’s chief lieu- tenants, father of the newspaper pill which would give the league a mo- nopoly of all public printing, former manager of the Townley chain store® and now organizer and stock-owner of league newspapers which will benefit from the legislation which he lobbied} through the last assembly. Brinton, after establishing a_res!- dence in St. Paul, brought a civil suit MAKING FINE TIME. Washington, D. C., May 27.—The NC-4 passed station ship No. 1, the destroyer Thompson, between 50 and 60 miles east of Ponta Delgada, at 11:16 Greenwich time, Admiral Jack- son reported to the nav ydepartment. The navy department computed the time of the NC-4’s start wt 6:18 a, m. Washington time, showing that Com- mander Reed made tie first leg of his voyage in less than one hour, his speed being 65 miles. At this rate, as this speed will be accvlérated when the consumption of gasoline reduces the weight of the machine, the plane should reach Lisbon around 1 o'clock this afternoon. 5 When she passed station ghip No. 6 the NC-4 ‘had apparently covered more, than 300 miles in 270 minutes, an average speed in excess of 80° knots an hour. Passes Ship No. 11. The NC-4 passed. station. .ship No. t1'at 1:10 p.m. Washington time, MACDONALD WILL APPRAL ATT ONCE 10 HIGH COURT Former Superintendent Soon to Be Again Knocking at Bar of Justice An appeal will be taken by Neil C.
