MISS ELDER ESTABLISHES NEW RECORD Longest Flight Ever Made by Woman and Longest Ever Made Over Water #7 New York, Oct. 14—(AP)—A new over-water distance flying record was established by Ruth Elder and Captain George Hakieman before they were forced down in the Atlan- tic on their attempted flight to Paris. It was the longest Alight ever made by a woman. The previous record for over-water flying, made by Lieutenants Mait- land and Hegenberger on their jump ‘from San Francisco to Honolulu, was 2,493 miles. Computations of the flight of the American Girl make its distance about 2,625 miles. As figured by Lieutenant Earle H. Kincaid of the navy, hydro- graphic officer for the New York Times, the American Girl flew 2,623 miles. Computations by H. Armand De Masi, FeLeETauh, editor and avia- tion expert of the New York Daily News, are that the distance was 2,625 miles. Charles A. Lindbergh, in his non- stop flight from New York to Paris, covered 3,610 miles in 33 hours and 30 minutes, Clarence Chamberlin and Charles A, Levine flew irom New York to Eisleben, Germany, 3,905 miles, in 46 hours 30, minutes. Commander Byrd and his crew covered 3,477 miles in 41 hours and 27 minutes in their flight from New York to Ver-Sur-Mer, France, Those three flights, however, were on a northern course involving land RING ARMY CHIEF SHOULD BE MADE WITH A.

Backers of the adventure wanted a highest bidder for the girl’s story of the flight, while indications were that contracts for movie and vaude- ville work involving thousands of, dollars would be offered the pretty young heroine. Declaring that the story of the flight had been sold to a syndicate and anything Miss Elder might say to any other newspapers would ruin the commercial value of her article, H, E. Cornell of Lakeland, Fla., de- clined to cable Miss Elder instruct- ing her to outline the flight for] American newspapers. Story Will Be Sold “We're going to keep this thing bottled up until we sell it,” said T. H. McArdle another one of the pro- moters. “Anyone would be dumb not to| know there is money in this, and we would be dumb if we didn’t take it. Neither Miss Elder nor Haldeman will say a word until they get the o. k. from us, telling them who has bought the story.” MeArdle said he would not con- sider anything less than $150,000 for the flight story, with an immedi- ate cash payment of $25,000, but recetved only a bid of $1,500. The dickering continued with waning in- terest until last bids which the pro- moters were willing to consider in- volved a total profit to them of con- siderably less than $20,000. Reports said two of the larger movie producing companies might offer Miss Elder contracts, and the Keith-Albee vaudeville officials as- serted they had a promise of Miss Elder's services if she decided to go into vaudeville. Vincent Lopez said he had cabled‘the aviatrix an offer of $10,000 a week for appearance with his orchestra. Hope of Oil Strike Aids Sale of Land Hope of finding oil near Robinson is making land easy to sell in that vicinity, according to reporta to the Bank of North Dakota. A recent action of the state in- dustrial commission, however, is making land purchases i dag specu- lators difficult. This ruling resulted in the placing of all contracts for the sale of land by the state of a clause which reserves to the state the right to all minerals which may be’ found on_or under the land. The rule has now been revised, however, to permit repurchase b: the original of land on whi ag the land or the state foreclosed again, ace| cording to Governor A.

Haldeman Set Record For Longest Flight Over Water FLEW OVER 2,600 MILES Machine So Completely De- stroyed by Flames That Nathing Could Be Saved Paris, Oct. 14.—()—Forced down at sea after battling storm and me- chanical trouble, the flying Ameri- ean Girl, Ruth Elder, and her com- rade in adventure, George W. Halde- man, were safe and sound today on the Dutch tanker Barendrecht, steaming steadily for the Azores. They are due to arrive there some time tomorrow morning. Their monoplane, the American Girl, took fire after their escape, and lies beneath the waves of the Atlantic, a mass of charred wreck- age. When forced to alight they had covered more than 2,600 miles from New York in the longest flight ever made entirely over water. 1,200 Miles From Goat They fell short of the European continent by some 600 miles and of Paris, their goal, by about 1,200. A little more light was thrown on their aerial odyssey in a wireless megsage from Captain Goos of the rescue ship. This showed that they had encountered a storm zone as predicted by the New York weather experts. Fighting the storms for eight hours, they emerged triumphant but found themselves far to the south of their course. Then the oil pres- sure gauge dropped, revealing that the feed pipe was broken. They continued to fly as best they could, thus, handicapped, for fit hours, fearing at every moment that the pistons would jam. Then, about 350 miles northeast of the Azores, sighting the Barendrecht, they head- ed for her and alighted alongside. Plane Catches Fire Sailors made fast the plane and the intrepid girl and her companion clambered aboard, “well but fa- tigued” as Captain Goos reported. Their first thought was for their beloved plane, “American Girl,” and the Dutch captain agreed to attempt its salvage as it was not damaged, so skillfully had it been brought down upon the water. Lines were attached and the task of getting it aboard begun, when, in some manner, probably through fuel spilling on the overheated en- gine, the gasoline was ignited. There were two explosions and the grace- ful monoplane which had served its crew so well was soon a mass of flames, obliging the Dutch master, in view of the nature of his own (Continued on page two) ,C.C. TO HOLD HEARING HERE Question of Providing Curtains on Engine Cabs Will Be Discussed Approximately 100 persons are expected here tomorrow to attend the hearing by Examiner Rogers of the Interstate Commerce Commis- sion on the question of whether rail- roads should provide curtains on en- gine cabs. Witnesses from North and South Dakota and Montana will testify here and will deal with conditions Affecting enginemen and brakemen in the three states. The purpose of the hearing, according to members of the state railroad board who will attend the hearing, is to determine if curtains on engine cabs are neces- sary or advisable to protect train crews. Most of the engines now in use by North Dakota railroads al- ready are equipped with curtains, it is said. " Hearings on the subject already have been held at Madison, Wis., De- troit, Mich., and Albany, N. Y., and the Bismarck hearing will be fol- lowed by others at Portland, Ore., and Denver, Colo. Is Result of Legal Dispute The case wes brought before the Interstate Commerce Commission by the Wisconsin railroad board after the supreme court of the United States held unconstitutional a Wis- ¢onsin law requiring the railroads to install curtains on engine cabs in that state. The court held the mat- ter subject to the jurisdiction of the Interstate Commerce Commission and not to the laws of any state. Members of the Brotherhood of cording to, W.
