ST, PAUL FLYER ‘BARREL ROLLS’ TO NEW RECORD Thunder Johnson Screws Through Air 80 Times in Sickening Stunt St. Paul, Municipal Airport, June 30.—7)—Thunder Johnson, young St. Paul aviator, more than tripled the unofficial world’s record for con- tinuous “barrel rolling” ul ait when 1:45 o’clock Friday afternoon, with 80 “rolls” officialy recorded. He broke the record of 26 rolls, set unofficially by C. D. Custer over March field, California, in 1919. A “barrel roll” is a maneuver in which a plane passes through the air with a screw-like motion meanwhile continuing its forward flight. It turns over on its back and continues turning on its longitudinal axis until it is right side up asain. Veteran yilots at the airport de- clared that the maneuver is the most sickening stunt known to avi- ation. Johnson was groggy when he landed but recovered quickly. He used a Curtiss OX 5, 90 horsepower machine in setting the record. TEXAS GUINAN FACES COURT mobile and the’ other dragged| clso to be lected through the town by a rope around —— his neck.

Courtney, who was delayed yester- day from continuing his flight to New York by a small piece of metal, hoped to take off today for Halifax. ant Fred Pierce, mechanic, was unable to obtain a duplicate of a broken part of the dynamo which furnishes the power for the wireless equipment. He therefore had hion the small part out of bi and did not finish the work until it was too late to start the flight.

The figures showed Shafer 89,767, Streich 3,921 and Tioresen, 79,643. With only 42 precinc:s to be accounted for, the vote for at- torney general stood: Langer 85,023, Morris 86,836—a lead of 1,813 for Morris, When 744 precincts in the Sec- ond congressional district had reported Congressman Hall led Ole Olson By 1,880 votes. vote was: Hall 31,285, Olson 29,405. North Dakota has returned an- other divided verdict in the state- wide primary election held last Wed- nesday. Independents have nominated George F. Shafer for governor, John W. Carr for lieutenant gover- nor, Joseph W. Kitchen for commis- sioner of agriculture and labor, John Steen for state auditor and probably he W. Morris for attorney gen- eral. Nonpartisans have captured the senate controlled by the Independ- ents at the last session and have nominated Lynn J. Frazier for Unit- ed States stn> or, Robert Byrne for secretary of state, Berta E. Baker for state treasurer, Olsness for com- missioner of insurance, Fay Hard- ing for railroad commissioner.

Some Nonpartisan leaders were counseling that a combination be made with the Democrats and an- other fight staged in the fall. Oth- ers of the more influential were de- fclaring they would stand by the Re- publican ticket as it has been named in the primaries. Leaders were in conference in Bismarck today Teoreatt the sentiment of both groups. Bitter- enders were laring the fight will go on and that the Independents would be opposed in the fall.
