As Williams and Yancey were taken to Rome, they were conducted by PERFORMED TO SAVE INJURED DEBUTANTE Driver of Car Which Struck Dor- othy Wilson Is Facing a Charge of Assault Chicago, July 11.—(#)—A_ blood transfusion was performed early to- day to save the life of Miss Dorothy ‘Wilson, debutante daughter of Milton Wilson, a director of Wilson Bros., manufacturers. Miss Wilson was critically injured General Italo Balbo, under secretary for aviation, to the premier’s villa at Torenia, Mussolini, acting as min- ister for aeronautics, greeted them there, kissing both on both cheeks, and congratulating them cn their flight. He said he was sorry they had to land at Santander but abjured them not to let that spoil their pleas- ure of the accomplishment. Slow Head winds over southern France and the Mediterranean which some- times slowed their progress to 25 to 35 miles an hour greatly lengthened their flight from Santander, and since they were sighted only once en route to Italy, even gave rise to fears for their safety. Leaving Santander at 11:20 a. m. (5:20 a. m. &. S. T.) they took ten hours and ten minutes to traverse the 850 miles to Littorio field. Their altitude averaged between 2,500 feet and 3,000 feet, but passing over Cor- sica, they were obliged. to rise to with his brether, two cousins, and a fourth companion at | Anderson's.

Both were tired almost to exhaustion, but were extremely happy. “I am glad we have done it,” Yancey said, “I am sorry that we could not make it in one hop.

Schilling, Northfield, Minn., newly appointed member of the fed- eral farm board. Discussing the farm situation, Mr. Schilling said: “The need of the farmer is coopera- tion so that his products can be con- trolled as they are in every other in- dustry. With such leadership as that of Alexander Legge and Arthur H. Hyde, the farmer surely will follow and bring life to the program Pres- ident Hoover outlined. I consider Mr. Legge one of the four greatest men in America today.” KANSAS ORGANIZATIONS ARE BEHIND HARTSHORN St. Joseph, Mo., July 11.—(?)—Ar- thur M. Hyde, secretary of agricul- ture, conferred here last night with representatives of Kansas farm or- ganizations who are urging the ap- pointment of A. L. Hartshorn, of Ford, Kan., to the federal farm board. The representative declared Hart- shorn, who is vice president of the Kansas Cooperative Grain Dealers association and the Kansas Coopera- tive Grain Commission association, has the support of every Kansas farm organization as well as much support from surrounding states. Secretary Hyde said the particular difficulty in the selection of a man for the wheat post on the board was that two marketing groups were not in accord. He said that two factions, one favoring cooperative marketing and the other favoring the pool plan, were at loggerheads and indicated that no appointment would be made until the two factions reached an eement. “Farm relief is already working,” Secretary Hyde said, “it has been functioning since congress recessed. So far its effect has been largely psychological. The present plan, when it becomes adjusted for regulat- ing marketing, will be a satisfactory and permanent plan, I believe. The farm board constitutes a body of su- pervising engineers in charge of the reconstruction of agriculture. It has taken: farm relief forever out of the hands of politicians.” Indians Make Heap Whoopee at Trial Fort Yates, N. D., July 11—(P)— When an Indian goes to trial his family goes with him. Four defendants charged with the manslaughter of Eugene Yellow Lodge are making mild whoopee in connection with the trial which may land them in the state prison. They have parked their tepees in the court- house yard and are pasturing their vari-colored ponies in a nearby pas- ture. A double quartet of mongrel dogs, part of the redskins’ entourage, keep the town awake nights by baying at the moon. Meanwhile, despite damaging testi- mony presented yesterday by the prosecution, the four defendants ap- pear to be uninterested in the ut- come.

Reinhart today took another 100 gallons supply of gasoline aboard their sturdy biplane and continued their effort to prove that man can outlast a motor. Hot coffee and roils were handed down to the flyers during the re- fueling contact which was accom- plished as smoothly as in the early stages of the flight. At 7:29:30 a. m., the ninth day in the air was completed. The world’s sustained flight had been boosted to 217 hours an hour later. The single 220 horsepower motor of the plane appearcu to be good for many more hours of duty and the flyers gave no indication of nearing the point of exhaustion. ‘The refueling performance present- ed a pleasing spectacle, the two Planes banking and turning in uni- son as they circled the airport.

DELAY IN RAISING BRITISH SUBMARINE Undersea Craft Is Thought to Rest in 330 Feet of Water; Diving Is Difficult Pembroke, Wales, July 11.—(Pi— Weather in Saint George's channel today made immediately further rescue and salvage work above the sunken submarine H-47 all but im- possible. ‘The extensive crews assembled for the almost vain attempts at lifting the submersible and possibly saving some of the 20 men entombed in it marked time impatiently, awaiting a change in the direction of the wind and a lessening of the high seas. The salvage crew withdrew tem- Pporarily to Milford Haven, leaving a buoy moored above the spot where the ship slipped to after it had col- lided Tuesday with the L-12_ and sank. The depth was believed to be 330 feet, far below the level at which divers ordinarily can work. A corrected casualty list of the crew of the sunken craft shows that three were saved, with 20 now missing. The third man, heretofore unlisted, was Petty Officer Hicks, who had come up for a breath of air just before the | Collision. The L-12, which collided with the death vessel, was berthed at Milford Haven. It was full of chlorine gas and tugs pumped in fresh air.

PRICE FIVE CENTS JAPANESE FEAR FOR FATE OF SOUTHERN Coup Destroys Russian Control of Railroad; Officials Are Marched to Border BREACH IS UNHEALABLE Following Declaration of Strike All Lines Are Taken; Impe- rial Policy at Stake Tokyo, July 11.—(4)—Japanese offi. cial circles watched events in “Ma: churia today with growing anxiety, seeing in the Chinese coup which has destroyed the Russian control of the Chinese Eastern railway a situation dangerous to the Chinese Southern railway, in which Japan has a vital interest. It was thought possible the attempt to rid the Chinese Eastern railway of Russians would be followed by a simi lar attempt along the South Man- churia railway, one of the most vital points in the Japanese imperial Policy. Tokyo has followed closely also the reported conversations at Peking be- tween Chang Hsueh Liang, overlord of Manchuria, Chiang Kai-Shek and C. T. Wang, Nanking foreign minister. It was feared these conversations would result in a strengthening of Nanking’s control over Manchuria’s foreign interests. Coup Wel! Planned It was said in well informed quare ters the Chinese coup had been planned at a recent high council in Mukden of Manchurian leaders. They were fortified by promises of Nank- ing’s support. Rengo news agency dispatches from Harbin, Manchuria, said Chang Ching Hui, governor of the Harbin district, yesterday arrested 174 Soviet officials and employes of the Chinese Eastern railway. Thirty= Seven of the prisoners were started under guard for the Siberian border for deportation. The dispatches interpreted the coup as having made a virtually unhealabie’ breach between China and the Soviet.” Chinese directors were appointed to replace the arrested Russians, the Chinese seizing every opening to un- dermine the Russian influence. Seize Wires The coup began Wednesday morne ing at 7 a. m., Chinese police seizing the telephone and telegraph systems of the Chinese Eastern railway and ordering closed all branches of “Dor com,” or the union of Russian railway employes.. The Russians tl declared a general strike and the Chinese countered with wholesale ar= rests in Harbin and other stations on the road. Chinese police headquarters issued @ communique in which it was stated the raid May 27 on the Russian cons sulate general at Harbin had uncov= ered evidence that Russian unions and other soviet agencies in northern Manchuria were spreading concerted- ly communist propaganda aimed at disruption of Chinese unity.
