The alleged assault was upon Kasper G. Schmidt, son of the city comp- troller, George K. Schmidt, and him- self vice president of the Prudential State Savings bank. One of those indicted was John J. (Bud) Corcoran, whose father, the late John J. Corcoran, was the mil- lionaire head of the Washington Con- struction company. The trouble followed a collision be- tween cars in which Corcoran and young Schmidt were riding. Schmidt's story to the state's attorney was that he was beaten by the Corcoran party and left in the road for dead. A girl companion, he said, also was dragged from the car and beaten. Secret indictments were returned, leading to the arrest late Saturday of Corcoran, Ray Stenberg and Jack Watson, automobile dealers. The three were held over the week-end. Schmidt himself was sought today on charges brought by Corcoran, who blamed him for the assault. 2c BISMARCK WILL BE HOST IN 1930 10 VW.

The members also were given their first opportunity to become personally acquainted, many of them never hav- ing met before. Probably the most generally known within the group was Alexander H. Legge, who resigned his position as president of the board | and give it the counsel of his exper- tence in business and finance.

Results of the quarter-final round this morning follow: Paul Cook defeated Dr. Gates, Minot, 6 and 4. Kneeshaw defeated O. C. Croon- quist, Bismarck, 1 up. Thorberg won from Glen Hollen- beck, Dickinson, by default. Barrett defeated James Bismarck, 7 and 6. ‘Though Cook shot but a 40 this morning in his easy win from Dr. Gates, he was a favorite to defend successfully his titular honors won here last year because of his impres- sive 68 for 18 holes yesterday.

Russel Slattery, Wheat Most Pressing Although the. board was created to cope with the general problem of the agricultural depression and is com- posed of members representing all the major phases of farming, admin- istration leaders regard the wheat situation with its continuing surpluses as the most pressing of the farmers’ ‘woes. Strangely, in view of the situation, the board today was without a spokesman for the wheat growers, be- cause of the president's desire to se-, lect a man acceptable in every way and a difference of opinion among the grain men who disagree over the «Continued on page nine.)

The straits connect Hudson bay and the Atlantic ocean. The plane was lost,Saturday night when a gale broke up the ice to which it was moored and drove it out to sea. None of the crew was aboard and no lives were lost. The accident ended an attempt to fly from Chicago to Berlin by way of Canada, Greenland and Iceland. The plane, owned by the Chicago Tribune, left Chicago July 3 in an at- tempt to plot a new commercial air route from that city to Berlin. It was piloted by Robert Gast and Park- er D. Cramer, with Robert Wood, aviation editor of the Chicago Trib- une as @ passenger.

PRICE FIVE CENTS IRST ATLANTIC AIR RACE ENDS IN TRAGEDY Union Sends Ultimatum to Chinese POLISH PILOT DIES AS PLANE CRASHES ON FIELD IN AZORES | Navigator Escapes Death in Ex- plosion Which Follows a Forced Landing FRENCH RUN FROM WIND Coste Returns to France Wher, He Finds Speed Low and Fuel Going Fast Horta, Azores, July 15—<?)—The first transatlantic air race has ended in tragedy and failure, with the pilot of the Polish craft dead, its naviga- tor injured, and the plane destroyed. The French plane, its competitor, averted destruction only by turning tail and running before a “wall of wind” into which it tried in vain to head. Major Ludwik Idzikowski was killed Saturday evening when he attempted to bring his plane, the Marshal Pil- sudski, to earth on a rocky field at i island, 35 miles northeast of ere. His navigator, Major Casimir Ku- bala, was injured. The plane crashed and exploded. It was presumed Ku- bala either fell or jumped from the plane as it slid to earth in a wobbly descent, and escaped thus the disas- trous blast which took Idzikowski's life and wrecked the plane. The French plane, the Question Mark, after battling headwinds for hours and finding fuel going and speed cut to a third, turned back at 6:18 Pp. m., Saturday (1:18 p. m, E. 8. T.) and at 9:27 a. m. yesterday (3:27a.m., E. S. T.) landed safely at Villacoublay, France, a few miles south of Versailles. “Just Missed Out” Captain Coste’s landing came after 27 hours and 55 minutes of flying after the takeoff at Le Bourget at daybreak Saturday. The winds that blow from the west, to east in mid-Atlantic cut his speed from 125 miles per-hour to less than 50, and after trying vainly to evade them, he and his navigator, Jaques ; Bellonte, turned their plane around jand headed back home. Idzikowski and Kubala struck t{® same adverse hurricane which Coste called a “wall of wind,” and shortly afterward developed motor trouble, which compelled them to ask for in- formation about a landing field at Horta—there is not a field for land planes in all the archipelago. Forced to Land But the Poles realized they could not reach Horta and asked with their bad radio for a nearer place to land, and were directed to Brazilera, @ field on Gracosia island, the most northeasterly of the central group of five. A witness of the tragedy said the big gray plane swooped down over the island, making a few turns as if seek- ing a spot to come down. Natives, by gestures designated the plot at Brazil- era, and the plane made for it. But as it came closer to earth over the field it wobbled into a barrel roll, and a body was seen to hurtle from it, | apparently thrown by the unexpected imaneuver. In a moment the plane touched the ground and there was a blinding, ear-splitting explosion. Kubala was picked up where he had fallen, suffering from painful but not, severe injuries. The body of Major Idzikowski was extricated from the debris. Natives buried Idzikowski'’s body at 3 p. m. yesterday. Kubala in a hospital was said to be not badly injured. The plane burned after the two aviators were removed. Passports Are Asked - For Consul and Wife San Francisco, Calif., July 15.—() —W.
