Scores had arrived today and hotel facilities were inadequate to care for them. Townsfolk were listing with Jocal authorities the number of per- sons they can care for and many will ‘be assigned to private homes. Others ‘will be cared for in the Legion hall, equipped as a temporary barracks. Devils Lake Mourns Devils Lake and its adjacent terrl- tory paid homage to the dead flyer as the funeral train stopped there for a half hour. Members of the funeral party were guests of the American Legion and the city commission at a duncheon. Wreaths were placed about the casket by the American Legion, Le- gion Auxiliary, Daughters of the American Revolution and the Elks lodge. As the train slowly left the station, @ colonel’s salute was fired by the Howitzer company of the 164th In- fantry and taps was sounded by the company trumpeter. Planes Greet Train Both at Williston and Minot, the first two North Dakota towns in ‘which the funeral train stopped, air- Planes zoomed in circles over the car bearing the body of the dead airman. At Williston, the tribute from the ‘air came from Ed Canfield of that city and Cecil Shupe of Minot, who Piloted the same ship which Eielson tlew when he was in Minot two years ago.

Draped over the coffin are two ‘American flags, one the crudely fashi- doned colors prepared by the rough vhands of the men aboard the fur trading ship, the Nanuk, to which Eielson was flying with provisions ‘when he met his death. The other stars and stripes came from the American Legion post of Seattle. The stars of the flag prepared at the Nanuk are fading. They were roughly painted on to the blue back- ground, but it is a memento dearly {treasured by the dead airman’s fath- er, who expects it will likely be pre- ented to the University of North Da- ; kota, Ben’s Alma Mater.

Former Comptroller Of Packing Company Resting After Term (Cy) Thomson, released from the state penitentiary after serving 8% years for embezzlement, wes on a farm near Minneapolis today. He Planned to rest up several days and then go to work. Thomson came to Minneapolis Monday to the home of his brother, H. A. Thomson, and then went on the farm for @ short stay. His brother explained that Thom- son had found the excitement attend- ing his release very trying and want- ed to rest for a short period. He did not disclose what line of work the former comptroller of the Hormel Packing company of Austin intended to take up.

Mar. 25.—(NEA)— In addition to @ flair for practical Science, 19-year-old Paul Dudley had father who believed in his boyhood dream of a half-boat, half-airplane which could ‘skim the Atlantic in less than three days. Probably no one else would have flung a small fortune to the winds created by two 450-H. P. motors on such a ‘strange-looking craft. But the elder Dudley already has spent pT $25,000 for its construction and is Prepared to invest a good deal in tests before he allows this slim, / apo quiet, bespectacled son of his to dash out upon the high seas. The launching here the other day culminated months of feverish effort at the local shipyard, where young Dudley directed and worked with me- chanics and carpenters. It was a proud moment when his fiancee, Miss Ruth Jenkins, of ‘Watertown, broke @ bottle of mineral water on its blunt prow and christened it the “Silver Eagle.” A series of trial runs southward along the Atlantic coast to Florida will be undertaken soon. The hy- droglider, for that is its technical name, is 40 feet in length, with a single wing of 42 feet. Neither wing nor motors are sufficient to lift the air, but Dudley is sure it will be sup- Ported so it will just touch the tops of Ocean waves. The maximum speed, while loaded, is expected to be 80 miles an hour. Except in the roughest seas, this should afford the stability of an air- Plane in flight. The controls, even to the aerial rudder at the stern, are operated exactly like those of an air- lane. n ‘The cabin is nearly as revolution- ary in design as the exterior.
