Plane, But Where He Will Go Is Unknown —a ry Mexico City, Dec. 15.—(?)—Un- bounded enthusiasm prevailed today over the lone eagle’s flight in fog and over mountains to the halls of the: Mont 8. Colonel Charles A. Lindbergh landed at Mexico City yesterday aft- ernoon after 27 hours and 10 min- utes in the air. He completed the last stage of his flight from Bolling Field, near Washington, over a region unknown to him, mountainous and sparsely settled.’ Audition Winners 7 Four Incheg of Snow Fell Tues- day Night and .

The American ambassador, Dwight W. Morrow, looked upon his fellow citizen with pride. “Isn’t he a wonderful boy,” he exclaimed. “He is perfect physically, mentally and spiritually.” At the American embassy, where he will be a guest during his visit, Lindy’s thoughts turned to his mother in Detroit, and he telephoned her before he called it a day and re- tired at 6 p. m.. What the flyer told the mother, whose confider.cc in him has never wavered, was not revealed. Those who should be in a position to know said the mother told her famous son how glad she felt of his eafety and success and re- plied in, effect: “Oh, shucks, it ‘wasn’t anything for you to be wor- ried about.” Plane in Fine Sha 4 And while the crowds milled around the embassy shouting for and Wilbur and( two years’ da Prato, 20, of South San Francisco, and Ted A.

Lignite Movement May Break Record With all early winter records for low temperatures broken, officials of the state railroad board here are redicting the largest movement of lignite coal in the history of the state this year. Increased demand for fuel and the fact that lignite is being more wide- ly used each winter form the basis for the prediction. Records of shipments for_the six- 2ek period from October 9 to No- amber 19 show that 31,842 tons woved in interstate traffic ‘whil 287,199 tons moved in traffic. For the same period a year ago 30,498 tons were shipped out- side the state and 272,068 tons were was accompanied by a wind which (Contirue on --ge two) shipped by North Dakota mines to Points within the state. of Science to Occupy $65,- 000 Structure. .

Moving overation; com- menced-last week when the printing department was transferred from the main buildin, of the institytion | 4 to the new building. The building will be entirely occupied when school starts after Christmas vacation. Establishing a record for construc- tion, C. H. Johnson & Son of Fargo, general contractors of the building, have pushed the work rapidly to make room for the ever increasing enrollment at the school. Building operations started August 22, and finishers will complete the last work on the buildirg this week. Archi- tects for the building were Braseth & Houkon, of Fargo. The building is the last word in modern fire-proof factory construction, anc- will fill a long felt want at the school.

Taking the stand as the first wit- ness in the committee’s-inquiry into the .charges, Mr. Hearst said E. B. Coblentz, one of his New York edi- tors, decoded the documents which were in code and which he claimed came from the Mexica . official archives. The disclosure was mad: before a, ial senate eommittee, to whont’ iMiam Randolph Hearst presented the documents.. .The- publisher said, however, that he did not believe any of the money was delivered to those named. Heflin’s Name Included Notified that his name was in- cluded in the list, Senator Heflin immediately came before the com- mittee. “It, was not delivered to me,” the Alabaman said, referring to a state- ment in the documents that he was sup) to have been paid $350,000. “T have not received a cent except some expenses when I was on a lec- best tour about Mexican affairs,” he said. Explaining further ho. the documents, Hearst said: “This man I haye named to von that he got communicated information these documents were available in- dicating unwarranted interference. \1 LAKES SHIP IS MISSING AS SEASON ENDS Canadian Freighter Kamloops Unheard From—Soo Locks Close Last Night Duluth, Minn, Dec. 15.—(?)— With the fate of one vessel still unknown, the 1927 shipping season on Lake Superior was practically of closed today. The Sault Ste. M locks were closed at midnight last night and all ships which just before the “deadline” Monday night, when insurance was discon- tinued, were reported today safe in port. But one ship remained today un- accounted for—the Kamloops, a Canadian package freighter which was last seen Tuesday, December 6, the day before the storm which crippled all lake traffic, In a last feeble hope that_ the Kamloops may be found, the Eagle Harbor coast guard was today working its way through the ice in order to search around Keweenaw. Point for the missing ship. Eight days have passed sinee the Kam- loops left the Soo locks and search in all parts of the lake has proved futile. If the Kamloops has dropped to the bottom of the lake, as shippers fear, it will be the first and only real disaster of the 1927 season on Lake Superior, known as the most treacherous of the Great Lakes. Several vessels were forced to send out “S O S” messages in the terrif- ic storm of last week and near!; The fire was discovered by Sister St. Theresa, who noticed smoke in the corridor and roused the sleeping children and other occupants of the orphi . Most of the children ste quickly den hace the uilding to safety and clothing loaned by the crowds which gather- ed was used to protect the refugees as they were taken to other institu- tions and private homes. A passerby, who noticed smoke pouring from windows of the build- ing, turned in, a general alarm and police, firemen and volunteers di- rected their .efforts . toward rescue work. Many were carried down lad- ders which were placed on all sides of the building and others jumped from windows into life nets. Humana ed Early in the rescue work, a human chain was formed, stretching from the orphanage to a tobacco factory directly across the street. As scores children, many of them half-con- scious, were removed from the burn- ing building, their screams mingling with the roar of the flames, they were lifted from one to another of those in the chain to th factory. There doctors znd. nurses hastily gathered to care for them. Rescuers groped through blinding smoke and flames in their search for the children, many making several trips into the building before col- lapse of roofs and walls forced them to abandon their efforts. Many of those rescued were hur- ried to private homes and other in- stitutions throughout the city for shelter from the moderately ate mosphere, a fact which made a com- plete check of the missing practic- ally impossible. Firemen spread of the flames had been so rapid many ‘could not, have been brought to safety. a‘ Although the hospice was con- ducted mainly as an orphanage, a number of children had been by their parents in the tution school. hen they learned the building was on fire, these frantic parents besieged the fite lines and ‘were directed to the factory across the street. trade school, is a practical memorial to the memory of the late Dean Bab- Crossing directly the wiskes of e| the administration, and particularly those:of Secretary Mellon, the house “has refused to repeal the federal inheritance tax and has refused to retain the sales tax on autompbiles in the revenue. measure now under ™en were rescued by coast, crews, but no serious has been suffered.
