PAGE FIGHT LINDBERGH IS TRYING OUT HIS NEW AIRPLANE Demonstrates That He Can Land Ship About Where and When He Pleases Denver, April 16.—(AP)— Flying his new cabin monoplane which carried him to Denver from the Grand Canyon yester- day, Colonel Charles A. Lind- bergh hopped off again this morning without announcing destination. He nosed his craft southeastward. Denver, Colo., April 16.—(AP)— Ability of Colonel Charles A. Lind- bergh to land his new monoplane about where and when he pleases on his eastward “vacation flight” across this rugged western country, whas added hundreds of erstwhile anxious persons to his list of admirers. While scores of volunteers have rushed to his assistance at various times since he left California last week for an unannounced destin- ation, he arrived here yesterday to indicate he considered the trip thus far virtualy without incident. : Tests of the new ship and his desire to keep it perfectly “tuned” has provided most of the thrills. After causing scores of motorists to hurry to the air field at Williams, Ariz., Friday last when he arrived after nightfall from the west to drop down smoothly by the aid of his landing lights and flares, he caused another near stampede Saturday by bringing his ship to earth in a rough section near there. “Gone to Lunch” When motorists sped to the scene they found a note in the window of the plane which read “gone to Junch.” The famous pilot was found at a nearhy ranch house enjoying a lunch furnished by an incredulous rancher who for some time refused to believe he was host to Lindbergh. Anxiety was dispelled when the colonel ex- poe he merely was seeking a larger landing field than was avail- able at Williams to permit taking off with a full load of fuel. He then demonstrated the ground he selected could be used as an emer- ncy field by taking off from Grand on, where he spent the night. taking off from Grand Canyon jterday, he used his plane to “roundup” a pair of colts. After he herded them to the far end of the field, he turned his plane and charged back in a neat take-off. Upwards of 3,000 persons were as- sembled at Lowry Field here to watch national guard plane maneu- vers. When Lindbergh arrived he stepped from the plane and left the field before many had a chance to greet him. He went to the home of W. Octave Chanute, broker. Included in the guests was Mrs. S. E. Land, the colonel’s aunt, who lives here. I C.C, PROPOSES RATE REVISION Change Would Result in Gen- eral Application of Mile- age Scales Denver Washington, April 16—()—A revision of classified freight rates in eastern territory which would re- sult in a general application of mile- age scales was tentatively pro- posed today by the interstate com- merce commission, The proposal constituted another step in the commission’s endeavor to rearrange class rates throughout the United States on a distance basis, the first having already been made effective in southern and southwestern territory. The commission the system recommended would re- sult in eastern charges amounting to about 73 per cent as high as the rate system prescribed for south- ern territory. Because of higher operating costs under the report, rates on ship- ments traversing northern New England territory, Northern Mich- igan territory and specified branch I of railroads in .territory of small population would range 10 per cent above the standard. In view of the water transporta- tion factor applying on class ship- ments to and from Chicago, the re- port recommended that rail and water rates on classified freight should be made 85 per cent of all rail rate. The proposals will be submitted to all interested carriers‘ and ship- bay and will be further studied be- fore the commission takes action up- on them. - Insurance Policies on North Dakotans’ Lives Total $47,869,839.45 Insurance policies to the number of 23,212 and totaling $47,869,839.- 45 were written on the lives of North Dakotans duri the year 1927, figures compiled the state insurance department show. This ht the number of life insurance policies in effect in the state to 125,251 and their value to $255,104,369.59. The records show that 15,663 policies valued at $33,- 406,530.56 ceased to remain in force ‘uring the year.

There were 24 representatives who atended the first meeting. The object of this trip, it has been learned, is to obtain information on “Freshman Week.” An address on this subject will be given by J. A. Gannett, registrar at the University of Maine. Mr. Gannett, who origin- ated the “Freshman Week” idea, has made it a success at his uni- versity. College officials plan to foster a “Freshman Week” on the North Da- kota Agricultural college campus next fall to take care of the large enrollment of freshmen. More than 300 American colleges and universities now belong to the American Association of Collegiate Registrars. COOLIDGE IS MAIN SPEAKER AT D.A.R. MEET Delegates Gather in Washing- ton For Opening of 37th Convention Washington, April 16.— (AP) — With President Coolidge heading its list of speakers for the first night session, the Daughters of the Amer- ican Revolution assembled here to- day for thelr 37th continental con- gress amid much _ uncertainty whether the recent national defense controversy would be injected in- to the meeting. Although the congress’ blacklist- ing of certain national speakers re- garded by it ag undesirabls and its support of the naval building bill, which led to much publicity on the part of opposition members, were hot on the program for discussion, the way was open for precipitating the issue on the floor by any mem- ber who desired to attack the stand taken by the national officers. In a pfreconvention statement, which was handed all delegates, Mrs, Alfred J. Brosseau, president general, clearly defined th> soci- ety’s attitude on the question of de- fense and said she believed it had been misinterpretcd in some quar- ters as militarism. She and other national officers were of the opin- fon that the entire membership would give its “undivided support” to such a defense program as she outlined. Mrs. Brosseau has laid to “a few pacifists within the society who are not active members” the responsi- bility for the attack on its support of the navy building bill. f Mrs. Helen Tufts Bailie of Bos- ton, executive secretary of the “D. . R. committee of protest,” and reputed author of the pamphlet, “Our Threatened Heritage,” which called for the president-general’s statement, arrived in Washington last night for the congress, She is neither a delegate nor alternate, but declared her intention to sit in the gallery at the auditorium at the opening. East-end Community Association to Have Special Meet Tuesday Various types of pavement on which proposals have been asked for the paving of the streets in the east part of the city will be discussed at a spec‘al meeting of the East - end Community association at the Rich- holt school Tuesday night at 8 ‘ids on the proposed paving will be opened by the city commission tonight, after which property own- ers to be affected by the improve- ment are allowed five days in which to determine which type of paving they prefer, basing their decision largely on the serviceability of the various type proposed and the dif- ferences in the bids presented. This question will be thoroughly discussed at the meeting Tuesday night and an effort made to learn which kind of paving the majority of the property owners prefer. Information Service For State Clubwomen Filed at University Grand Forks, N.

Caffey, prohibition agent who has been shielded by federal authorities for three weeks after shooting William Beatty, a municipal court bailiff, was surrendered to the police today. Chicago, April 16.—(AP)—A scrap of paper calling for the arrest of one Myron Caffey, a prohibition agent, was getting itself all dirty from disuse today in the pocket of} police Captain William Schoemaker. It wasn’t that Captain Swan Hie \Says didn’t_know where Caffey wi did. But circumstances made ice of the warrant a ticllish proposition; one might almost say a matter of national moment. Caffey was in the federal building. No question about that. Captain Schoemaker caught occasional glimpses of his man yesterday, peer- ing from an eighth floor window. Caffey appeared happy and content- ed, possibly a bit more so than the police who stood in the biting wind outside waiting to arrest him. Caffey Is Besieged But if the police style was cramped by circumstances, so was Caffey’s. He virtually was besieged, for should he step from government property, the police were there to serve the warrant charging him with the at- tempted murder of William Beatty, a municipal court bailiff who was wounded the night of March 29 dur- ing a prohibition raid. Captain Schoemaker's trouble was that he was under conflictinginstruc- tions. One instruction was to serve the warrant. The other was to keep off government property. The lat- ter instruction came from John Northrup, first assistant U. S..dis- trict attorney. “This prerey. said Northurp to Schoemaker, in effect, “is as sacred as an Indian reservation. Set foot here, and take the consequences.” “We,” said Captain Schoemaker after some cogitation, “will look up the law.” Was Almost Caught Caffey very nearly was caught yesterday when, unaware of the police lines around the federal build- ing, he ran jauntily down the steps on his way to a nearby lunch room. Before he had gone far, however, he observed Captain Schoemaker ap- proaching him with speed and de- termination, whereupon he sprinted back to the haven provided b;; the United States government. Since that time Caffey has been eating off a tray, food being carried to him by sympathetic fellow agents, and a couch in the district attorney's office has been placed at his dis- posal. Chief Basiana Gets Sentence of Death Tulagi, Solomon Islands, April 16, —(”)—Chief Basiana has been sen- tenced to death in connection with the massacre of British officials and native police at Sinarago on Malaita Island. The officials, District Officer Bell and Cadet Officer Lillies, and 15 native police were killed in 1927 while collecting taxes. They were attacked by 200 natives armed with axes, knives and bows and arrows.

STONE ATTACKS ‘DR, COULTER, THOMAS F, KANE State School Heads Should Not Spend Time on Political Issue Jamestown, N. D., April (AP)—Attacks on Dr. John Coulter, president of the North kota Agricultural College, Fi and Dr. Thomas F. Kane, pi of the University of North Grand Forks, for their alleged serv- ing “as partisans in a purely politt- cal issue,” featured a wet mags meeting held in the armory here Sunday afternoon. Discussing the counter movement of the dry forces, in which Coulter and Kane are said to be active, C. P. Stone, wet candidate for the Re- publican _ senatorial nomination, said: “Whenever the prohibition- ists of North Dakota get into a flut- ter they call a meeting and trot out their time-worn figureheads, Dr. Coulter of the agricultural college and Dr. Kane of the University of Grand Forks.

These learned gen- tlemen should attend to tkeir legiti-| mate business without meddling in politics. “There is a good old Bible say- ing about getting the beam out of your own eye before looking for the mote in your brother's eye, and before Dr. Coulter and Dr. Kane give their time, paid for by the ta: payers’ money, to prohibition poli- tics they would do better to en- force plain temperance among the students in their own institutions,” Cause of Low Grain Prices Wallace Campbell, Bismarck, blamed prohibition for low grain prices and said the tax burden of the farmers has been increased by heavy expenditures made in a fu- tile -effort to enforce the prohiii- tion law.
