No details were available hhere but the aviator presumably was. in good health and his plane was functioning well. Mattern hopped Friday morning off from Krasnoyarsk, Siberia, a little more than four hours after he had arrived there from Belovo, Siberia. He believes he still has a chance to establish a globe-girdling record de- spite setbacks by sickness, rain and Plane trouble. ‘Seeks Ocean's Edge Reports to Moscow were delayed by: slow communication facilities so it ‘was not learned what his next objec- tive would be, although it was pre- sumed that he will try for a point from which he could take off on the trans-Pacific leg of his adventure. The Texan had apparently recover- ed from the nausea which had forced him to land almost unconscious, at Belovo. When he departed from that miners’ settlement he waved his thanks to the hospitable Soviet au- thorities and people who had helped him. Everything was ready for him on his errival in Krasnoyarsk, and it was be- Neved his early getaway was made possible by the presence at the airport of an interpreter and the essentials he needed. Krasnoyarsk is 185 miles from Be- ovo. His hope of beating Post and Gatty apparently rests in his ability to re- cuce the time he is on the ground henceforth. Mattern was about 10 hours from Irkutsk—although it is not certain that he will go there—and should he reach that city in 10 hours he would be about 145 hours out of New York. Post and Gatty took about 92 hours to reach Irkutsk, but they were grounded a total of 52 hours at Blagovestechensk, Khanarovsk, and Edmonton, Can., subyequently. Former Pioneer of Bismarck Succumbs St. Paul, June 9.—()—Litton E. Shields, 80, veteran railroad builder, died Thursday at his home here after a two weeks’ illness. He suffered a heart attack May 22. Born in Ireland, Shields came to America in 1866. He went to South Dakota in the Black Hills gold rush and subsequent- ly engaged in railroad construction, his interests being in the building of the Canadian Pacific and Great Northern railways. He was associated at different times with R. B. Langdon, Wiston Bros., and Foley Bros. After D. C. Shepard retired from Shepard, Siems & Co. the firm became Shepard & Shields. His last work was the building of the North Bank Line of the Great North- ern from Spokane to Portland. He re- tired in 1912. Shields was married in 1880 at Bis- marck, N. D., to Anna Belle Caughren, daughter of the late David Work Caughren. He leaves his widow, one son, three daughters, and four grand- children.

The decision was reached at a joint meeting of the special veterans com- mittee and the steering committee. Representative Pou (Dem. N.

Members of the committee are Henry Holte, Grand, Forks, E. A. Moline, Jamestown, and Arnold T. Berg, Grand Forks. W. T. Borden, Grand Forks, was named secretary. An office has been established at 215 South Third Street, Grand Forks, with Borden in charge. The governor may add two more members to the committee to be known as the public works commit- tee of the State of North Dakota, as soon as he learns full details of the pending public works bill, according to Borden.

Under the compromise agreement, Service connected cases are reduced average of 18 percent. Presumptive cases are to be cut 25 percent, instead of being stricken off the rolls as provided under regula- tions previously issued. All presumptive cases are to remain on the rolls until either September 1 or October 1. In the meantime, the president is to set up boards to re- view them with a view to eliminating those not entitled to remain on the rolls.
