Ever Built Here Was on Seven-day Trial Cruise RAMMED AMIDSHIPS Has Water in Firehold and Is Unable to Proceed Under Her Own Power New York, May 26.—(4)-—The $7,000,000 Matson liner Malolo, new pride of the American merchant rine, with 310 persons aboard, to- day was anchored at sea 190 miles from New York, awaiting a tow to this port after being crippled in » collision on the first day of her trial cruise. The Malolo, the largest and fastest craft ever built in the United States and just completed for passenger ser- vice between San Francisco Honolulu, yesterday afternoon was rammed amidships in 2 heavy fog and disabled 16 miles southwest of Nan- tucket Lightship by the Norwegian and|~ freighter Jacob Christensen. With her fire rooms flooded with four feet of water, the Malolo, which in the Hawaiian tongue means “Fly- ing Fish,” flashed distress calls by radio and immediately a dozen ships started to her aid. No Injuries Reported The Jacob Christiansen steamed under her own power toward New York when other vessels arrived. No one was reported injured. A radio message from William P. Roth, president of the Matson Navi- gation company, one of the guests on board, said the Malolo had water in her firehold and was unable to pro- ceed under her own power. The Malolo, 922,000 ton craft, was built at the Cramp Shipyard in Phil- jadelphia. | She left there Tuesday for pe ee, trial cruise to Rockland, Me. The accident is the third to befall the liner since its keel was laid. On June 1, 1925, a red hot rivet fell into the pine scaffolding while the ves- sel was being constructed, and caused $20,000 darmages. Two weeks ago the liner was aground for seven hours across the Delaware channel after be- ing warped out of her dock. PRICE OF LAND TO0 HIGH SAYS | KRETSCHMAR) Chairman of Senate Appro- priations Committee Dis- : cusses Board’s Purchase Senator Paul Kretschmar of Ven- turia, chairman of the senate appro- priations committee at the last leg- islative session, today expressed the opinion that the board of administra- tion paid too much for the section of land recently purchased for the state penitentiary. Here today, for the convention of bankers of is area, Kretschmar said it was his recollection that the senate appropriations committee op- posed paying more than $45 or $50 an acre for the property. Characterizing the idea of a board) going beyond the appro) riation as “bad — busines: Kretschmar _ suid! that the last legislature appropriated Grand Ferks—Cl soft, ue $10,500 as the final payment on land bought for the penitentiary 10 years ago under the same conditions which marked the original contract for the present purchase. Funds were juggled to make pay- ments on the land, bought at $100 an acre, he said, until the final pay- ment became due and an appeal to; the legislature for funds was neces- | sary. first purchase was made by the old board ‘of control, none of| H whom are members. of the present board of administration. Several state senate leaders met here last night and discussed the situation resulting from the ndéw land purchase. One result forecast was a move to eliminate the board of administration from the list of state bodies at the next session of the legislature. It was intimated | that a bill to that effect might come in_early in the 1929. session. Kretschmar and of senators said they have no objection to the purchase of land in the river bot- r more than $40 @cre and expressed the belief that the prop- erty was worth the price paid. The| price of the section near. Pine peni- tentiary, $68.80 an acre, was held to be exorbitant, however. [Temperature and || ten Rend Consitions | (Me readii a. Bi ps cieedy. 3 39; row Bt.

Aviation is his life career and he intends to continue as just a plain aviator when he returns to the United States. “My mind is absolutely made up about that,” he said. “I haven’t any idea of accepting any offers at all at this time.” He has given further proof that he cares little for money by giving 000 francs “for the benefit of the families of French aviators who have laid down their lives for the prog- ress of aviation.” The money was presented to him at the Aero Club of France.
