LAW- RENGE, INDIAN HARBOR, Labrador, August 21.—Wireless advices received aboard the Law- rence this evening indicated the American Army world flyers planned to continue on from Frederiksdal to lvigtut, on the west coast of Greenland tomor- row (Friday). From Ilvigtut, it was stated, the aviators expected to hop off Sunday for Indian Harbor. 5 The Danish steamship Islands Falk reported hearing a plane fly- ing north of Frederiksdal. ABOARD U. S. CRUISER RICH- MOND., ON PATROL BETWEEN ICELAND AND GRE gust 2 i : Magruder has ordered the United States cruisers Richmond and Ra- leigh and the destroyer Barry to make a search east of Cape Farewell, Greenland, for Lieut. Locatelli, Ital- ian aviator, who accompanied the American round-the-world fiyers. The search will be made by means of the planes carried by the cruisers for scouting purposes, and will be continued indefinitely. Admiral Magruder is preparing to send out a gemeral alarm if Locatelli was not found soon. The Ttalian aviator who left Reyk- javik with Lieut. Lowell H. Smith and Lieut. Erik H. Ne'son yesterday morn- ing and who, in a faster plane than the ones usgd by the Americans, had out- distanced them in the earlier stages of the hop to Greenland, was not mentioned in the messages reporting the arrival of the Americans at Fred- eriksdal. Flight Was Trial. With the sanction of the Italian government he had flown alone from Pisa, Italy, to Iceland, taking advan- tage on the hops from England of the facilities which previously had been prepared for the American flyers, These had been offered him by the American authorities. Locatelli originally was to have been one of the pilots on the aerial expedition which Roald Amundsen, Norwegian explorer, planned to make to the north pole and which later was postponed indefinitely. Then the Ital- ian fiyer made plans to fly alone to the north pole, but he also postponed this attempt and decided to catch up with the American fiyers and to ac- company them across the Atlantic. This trip, he announced before his departure from Italy. nature of a trial flight as-a prepara- tlon for his north polar attempt, which he said he would make next year. KEEP UP TO SCHEDULE. U. 8. Airmen Pass Ships on Route Right on Time. By the Associated Pre: REYKJAVIK, Iceland. August 22.— ‘The American round-the-world fiyers, winging their way yesterday after- noon and evening from Revkjavik, lceland, tq Frederiksdal, Greenland, where they arrived last night, passed the U. S. cruiser Richmond and the U. S. destroyers Reid, Billingsley and Barry on scheduled time, according to & message from the Barry. Weather conditions in the early stages of the flight were favorable with good bility and a helping wind, but as the airmen neared Cape Yarewell, at the southern tip of Greenland, they had to cut their way through a mist and a drizzling rain. In the mist they apparently missed the U. S. cruiser Raleigh, which was stationed off the cape and which r ported that she had not sighted the fiyers. Locatelll Unmentioned. Previously the Richmond, Reid, Billingsley and Barry had had sighted them passing each ship on scheduled time and flying low so as to receive the benefit of the cushioning effect of the water. 3 A later dispatch from the destroyer Barry declared that the flash report- ing the arrival at Frederiksdal. of Lieut. Lowell H. Smith and Lieut. Erik H. Nelson did not mention the arrival of Lieut. Locatelli, the Italian aviator, who was accompanying them. Battling a dense fog over the last miles of their perilous trip and feel- ing thelr way toward Frederiksdal with utmost caution, Lieuts. Smith and Nelson landed almost an hour apart under conditions described by the Danish gunboat Islands Falk, pa- trolling off Cape Farewell, as “ex- tremely dangerous.” Lieut. Smith added to his reputation as a skillful air navigator by landing at Frederiksdal at 6:39 o'clock, Green- wich mean time, 9 hours and 55 min- utes after taking off from Reykjavik. Lieut. Nelson landed at 7:15 o'clock, requiring 11 hours for the trip. While the hop from Reykjavik of 825 miles was probably not the great- est performance of .the world fiyers, it is considered a real feat because of the conditions encountered. . Last night the aviators were resting at the little fishing and trading village of Frederiksdal, within measurable dis- tance of their immediate goal—conti- nental America. % The flyers left Reykjavik with fuel sufficient to last them 13 hours under calm conditions, hoping ’that . if the weather was. perfect they * might be able to make lIvigtut, on the west cogst of Greenland. They estimated that they would take bout 10 hours for thé Fredericksdal hop. The weather conditions were perfect -except for the-last 150 miles.

The first word to be received by the Navy from any of its ships along the route of the world flight in the North Atlantic was a brief message that came this afternoon from the cruiser Richmond reporting that no word had been received from the Italian avia- tor, Lieut. Locatelli. The message was dated vesterday and reached the Navy Department via Leondon. May Delay Next Hop. news of Locatelli,” said the “Thick fog after leaving 217 miles off await better No dispatch. the last station ship Cape Farewell.

It appeared to have originated on some ship other than the Richmond, and to have simply been forwarded by her. The full text follows: Wantx Envoy Informed. “Deliver following air attache, Ital- ian embassy, Washington: _*‘No news from Locatelli. “Encountered thick weather after leaving last station ship 217 miles from Cape Farewell.

Service officials broke their vigil with expressions of gratitude and reliefl as to come patches. M was no secret that the long flight through the ice-dotted Northern At- lantic had been & source of much anxiety here, and the long delay in receiving direct and eircumstantial confirmation of the safe arrival had, sharpened the feeling of -suspense mn the group of Air Service officers in charge of th& flight. \ Last Hazard Passed With the 825 mile stretch of water oetween Iceland and Greenland behina them the belief here is that the avi- ators have passed their last really great hazard.

PARLEY ON WAR DEBTS AWAITS LIKE CONDITION President May Speak Here Next Friday—Other Engagements Announced. B the Associated Pre PLYMOUTH, Vt. August 22.—Pres- ident Coolidge regards the final set- tlement of the reparations problem as the paramount world problem, and until the Dawes plan is finally put into operation he does not consider the time appropriate for the calling of another arms conference. Fear of invasion and attack must be removed from the relations be- tween European nations, he feels. Likewise Mr. Coolidge thinks in- quiries of foreign nations as to their war debts due this country should await complete settlement of the rep- arations problem. Gratified, by Report. The President expressed satisfac- tion today over reports he had re- ceived on the political situation, includ- ing that in Maine, and said he had no plang_for participation the campaign other than those he has to date. The duties of his office; he empbasized, will keep him close to Washington. Breaking his plan of vacation wse- clusion, and_resting, in his father's home here for the first time since his arrival a_week ago, Mr. Coolidge today received newspaper men in the temporary offices in the general store here. He told them he felt rested and improved from his visit, as it always was refreshing to get a visit “back home.” Only Two Trigs Planned. While holding out as of importance the ~entry by this nation into the World Court, Mr. Coolidge was rep- sented as considering the reparation conference the first need of the hour in the European situation. The sec- ond conference to discuss limitation complete stabilization of the relations between the foreign nations. He would regret any complication which might arise in finally disposing of this problem by a premature discus- sion of the war debts. Aside from his trip to Baltimore, where he will speak on September 6, | Mr. Coolidge now has only one other out-of-town engagement, a trip to Northampton, Mass., his former Rome, to vote on election day. Speaking Dates Fixed. Well rested after a week of practi- cal -seclusion at. his father's home here, during which time he has seen only a few intimate friends, Presi- dent Coolidge today received news- paper men and gave his attention again publicly to affairs of office. Long walks, including visits to his boyhood haunts, plenty of sleep and the cool weather of this climate have given him a much needed rest. Mean- time he has devoted some attention also to his immediate calendar and has arranged to some extent his speaking engagements. His present program calls for one out-of-town address, at Baltimore on September 6, at the unvelling of the Lafayette statue there, an address in ‘Washington at the Fraternal Con- gress, probably next Friday, and at the unvelling of the 1st Division Monument October 1.

This was due to the assertions of astronomers that our nearest planet- ary nelghbor had arrived at a point nearer to the earth than he has been for more than 100 years, or a mere 34,000,000 miles awa 000 miles nearer than his usual dis- tance.

The note, which was in reply to one sent by the diplomatic corps here, still wn‘ in Yoshizawa's hands today. The attitude of Ambasador Karak- han was described one in which he is unwilling to modify the Russian note to the extent of placating Y hizawa. The basis of the refusal of Minister Yoshizawa, as acting senfor member of the diplomatic corps, to circulate the Russian reply among members of the corps was that it contained irrelevant matter and personal allusions. - DRY AGENTS ARE HELD IN CONTEMPT CHARGE Court Cites Prohibition Officers in Case of Auto Seized With Whisky.

OF DUAL PERSONALITY? DEFENSE STRESSES PARANOID THEORY Bachrach Declares Both A Leopold and Loeb Have Dual Personalities. By the Associated Pres: CHICAGO, August 22—That Nathan Leopold, jr.. and Richard Loeb, have paranoid personalities was the direct statement made today to Judge John R. Caverly by Walter Bachrach, one of the attorneys who are trying to save from the gallows the admitted murderers of Robert Franks. Mr. Bachrach devoted much of his argument to an analysis of the medi- cal testimony, asserting that the alienists had/taken insufficient oppor- tunity to study the youths. He also intimated that those obser- vations had ‘been made with the idea of stopping. a defense based upon legal insanity and therefore failed to take into consideration symptoms which would show a mental disease short of insanity. Hearing Is Delayed. The strictest orders on admission of the hearing made it a hard task for even accredited news writers to win admission to &he proceedings today. The corridors and anterooms were jammed = with would-be spectators, armed with all sorts of credentials, but none of them was good until after th bailiffs had combed the assemblage of “friends of the judge” or “friends of the attorneys.” WHhen the common folks and news- papermen were finally allowed to start, it needed only three minutes to fli the remaining seats. Court was 10 minutes late in opening. The cause was the prospect that Clarence S. Dar. row, veteran chief counsel for the de- fense, might get started on his long- awaited plea to save his yvouthful clients from death on the gallows. He was scheduled to follow Walter Bach- rach, junior defense counsel, who yesterday started the final inning of the defense with an argument designed to make plain the object of the de- fense in offering “mental disease, short of insanity” as a mitigating circum- stance. Mr. Bachrach, picking up his thread of argument stopped yesterday at ad- journment, began with a discussion of the alienists' testimony for the State, pointing.out that they did not have the proper surroundings to make a scientific or inclusive examination, “When Dr. Hugh T. Patrick testi- fied for the State he couched his opin- icns in the most careful language and did nothing more than state that in that inadequate examination no proof hall been submitted to him that the defendants were mentally diseased. The symptoms of these boys are such that no immediate diagnosis can be made. “Now what Dr. Willlam O. Krohn and Dr. H. Douglas Singer, other State allenists, think about it is best defined in their own book.

This statement is corroborated in the book of Drs.

BY G. GOULD LINCOLN. Carrying out their general plan campaign, the Republicans have begun to talk ““common sense” to labor. They have made arrangements to continue this practice right up to November 4, when the ballots are cast. T. V. O'Connor. chairman of the Shipping Board, former president of the International Longshoremen’s A: tion, was the first of Republican’s big labor guns to eound off. ¥ He addressed a gathering of labor leaders in Chicago this week about the same time that all plans were com. pleted for the labor department of t Republican national’ committee.

He is as strong in defense of President Coolidge’s labor record as is former Secretary of Labor Wilson in support of the labor record of John W. Davis. Moreover, Mr. O'Connor does not hesitate to say that labor generally may find itself sadly left should some of the policies advocated by the La Follette-Wheeler ticket become effective. He is engaged i the pastime of pumping “common sense” into the workers. For “The labor men who vote should vote,” he said: “and we should vote for the candidate who, in our judg- ment, will give us the best results for labor consistent with the Nation's welfare. Fighting Brings Progress. “Capital and labor have fought many battles. Sometimes victory for labor, sometimes it was a victory for capital, and sometimes it was a compromise. But the result of these conflicts has been the steady upward progress of labor. This prog: ress will not continue if the mines are closed. the factories shut down, (the machinery not in operation, and the employers unable to. meet their obligations. You cannot negotiate with an employer who is unable to meet his pay roll, and he will not have a pay roll for you, unless there is a reasonable certainty of profit for him. He will take his chances with you, and with your industrial leaders, as he has done in the past, but he will not take chances with a political group who will diminish the em- ployers’ prospects of getting a profit. or take away the profits of the em- ployers by excessive unjust taxation. “Wages is a form of profit-sharing. and there cannot be a sharing for you unless there is a profit for the em- ployer.
