While excitemer nd happiness its height naval aviation today over the findin. of the lost PN 3 No. 1 and it e and well, announcement was made by the Navy Department that Comdr. John Rodg ers, pilot and flight commander of the Pacific coast-Hawailan flight, has been appointed assistant chief of the Bureau Aeronautics and that the PB-1, the third plane of the original flight project, would undertake a non stop flight to the Pacific Islands about September 21 Both announcements came as a dis. tinct surprise, and was received with 1 crew al almost as much enthusiasm &s the re- | of the lost Rodges will succeed who has been the bureau bevond seaplane. Comdr. Capt. A. W. John assistant chief of the allotted time 1 had requested sea duty. For a ng time it was known he would leave the post and his successor was a matter of great concern to followers f aviation. The selection of Comdr. Rodgers was hailed as a great as to nat ' aviation, owing to his thor- the subject. Wilbur Is “Overjoyed.” While the entire Navy Department was “overjoved,” as Secretary Wilbur expressed it, naval aviators began to speculate on the possibilities of the Boeing patrol (PB-1) carrying out the pians lald for it originally. The Navy Secretary, after the apparent loss of the PN-4 No. had halted its con 1 | templated fiight and declared he would | not permit the undertaking until shown just why it should be done. Capt.” Stanford E. Moses, com- the Pacific coast, advised the department toda storms of the Pacific. He reported that successful tests had been made with the plane whose flight to Hawall had been postponed indefinite- Iy to permit concentration on the search for the PN-9 No. 1. The PB-1 was scheduled to take off with the two PN-%s, but engine trouble developed at the last moment and time was not avaflable to install a new power plant. It was to have taken off the following day in the wake of the other two. but the forced landing of the No. 3 and the disap- pearance of No. 1 precluded this. Carry Huge Fuel Supply. Capt. Moses stated that the PB-1 on a recent test took off with a load of 1,900 gallons of gasoline, 713 gal- lons more than the PN-9 No. 1 car- ried, and regarded this amount as sufficient for the trip to the islands A feature of the plane's construction is that once In the air one of its two 800-horsepower tandem-mounted mo- tors may be cut out entirely, and the craft can continue its flight on one motor. The advantage in this fs the saving of fuel Comdr. Rodgers will report Washington as soon as possible to sume his new duties, the department said. Declsion on the appointment was made late last night when Sec retary Wilbur learned of the rescue of the PN-% No. 1 and its crew. For the time being, at least, Comdr. Rodgers will retain his present rank and pav, although his predecessor is a captain Comdr. Rodgers is a native Wash ingtonlan and was educated In the public schools.

PARIS, September 11.—Madeline, an amorous apparition, has made a decided hit with American and other foreign delegates attending the International Spiritualist Con- gress. She is a kisser par excel- lence and herself believes in re ciprocal returns. It i3 asserted by spiritualists that Madeline is the materializa- tion of a 19-vear-old French girl who died in 1908. Alexander Thi- bault, a French delegate to the congress, is responsible for the sing ghost's appearance. Much was heard of Maceline at a soiree given last night by the Duchess of Hamilton, which was attended by the foreign delegates. M. Thibault asserted that Made- line was fond of Fissing M. Costa of the Portuguese delegation on the cheek and then waiting to be kissed In reiurn. It ix not reporied whether M, Costa complies with the wish of the spirit maiden. This coy phantom also kisses M. Thi- bault, but she rebuffed the direc- tor of a Paris theater who tried to grasp her arm, thinking her a fake. The spirit Madeline is sum. moned by means of red lights and phosphorescent screens, which are said to go sailing around the room when she is osculating. Usually she remains with M. Thibault for several hours. Madeline can play the piano, and thrice has stood in a_strong light. It s asserted that ghortly it will be possible to pho- tograph her. M. Thibault said Made- line's medium is a rough country cartman with a thick blond mus- tache which does not bristie when Madeline kisses him Among the storie: ed was one of the late King Edward.

President Coolidge got down to the arduous grind of accumulated routine today, his first full workday in the Executive offices in eleven weeks. Arriving at his desk nearly an hour later than his usually early time, he found a full morning before him. First on his calendar was a conference with Silas H. Strawn, prominent Chi- cago attorney, who will sail for Shang- hai scon as commissioner of the United States to the Chinese customs conference. Laurils S. Swenson, the American Minister to Norway, called to present respects and was closeted with the President for 15 minutes. The call, however, was said to be more of & personal nature than an officlal con- ferehce. Confers With Cabinet. Immediately after Mr. Swenson left, the President met his cabinet. It was the first session of the cabinet since Mr. Coolidze departed for White Court, on the Massachusetts coaat, 78 days ago, and considerable business had accumulated in the meantime. Every member of the cabinet except Secretary Weeks was present. Acting Secretary Davis represented the War Department. President Coolidge met cabinet promptly at 10 o'clock, and it was 12:15 before Secre- tary of Agriculture Jardine, the first member to depart, called for his car. He was followed 10 minutes later by Secretary of State Kellogg and At- torney General Sargent. The other members of the cablnet remained with the President until after 12:30. Although no mention was made by the different Secretaries of the mat- ters discussed by the cabinet, the two dominating problems before the coun- try today are the strike in the anthra- cite coal flelds and the forthcoming court-martial of Col. Willlam Mitchell for his recent attack on the admin- istration of the Air Services of the Army and the Navy. Problems Considered. That these situations were at least considered was accepted as certain. Upon leaving the conference Attor- ney General Bargent said he had re. ceived from the Retail Coal Board of | Trade a request for an opinion on the legality of its proposed plan for the rationing of coal during the strike. This opinion has been com- pleted, Mr. Sargent sald, but he is not ready to announce it as a definite de- cision. Just how far the cabinet considered the case of Col. Mitchell excited in- tense interest around the White House. The President is understood to have taken the position when the latest controversy with the doughty fiying colonel first arose that he would not interfere, at this time at least, with a question that seems to be up to the War Department for so- lution Wilbur and Davls Leave Last.

Both held up their hands in token of despair. Secre- tary Wilbur, however, told the re- porters as he slammed the door of his ltmousine that he “might have something to say" at his conference at 4 o'clock this afternoon.

SCHOOL CHILDREN MAY GUIDE TRAFFIC 'Police Authorities Present Plan for Pupils to Handle Movements of Mates. equi An official junior police force in al probability will be recruited from Washington's school children this vea in a profect patterned after the Chi cago system, which has @emonstrated the practicability of yousgsters acting as traffic officers to protect their mates at dangereus route school Already the Pelice Departr sent an outline of the pla |authorities for consideration crossings en W the only step awaited is approval of those in charge of the school svsiem.

It Is expected to develop this junior |trafic force to the point where it « | virtually relieve police of all the ble of handling school chiidren a intersections. The benefits to the schoolbovs who will become members of the police {force in name. if not in reality, were pointed out by Inspector Henry Pratt | assistant superintendent of police. who is heartily in favor of the plan “It will g1ve the youngsters a sense of responeibility which I feel sure— knowing the American boy as I do— | they will measure up to.” Inspector | Pratt said. “The boy will know that |1t anything goes radically wrong he | will be held accountable. The fact that he may be removed from his position at the first instance of negli gence of duty or failure of his sys {tem will exert a powerful influence for effciency.” Praise for Plan.

Brainier Men Are Worst Auto Drivers, Nation-Wide Survey of Accidents Shows By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, September 11.— Persons of high intelligence are more dangerous as automobile drivers than persons of lower in- telligence, Dr. W. V. Bingham of this city, director of the personnel research federation, said in a re- port today to the natlonal confer- ence on the sclence of politics. Absent mindedness, due to their mental pre-occupation with other matters, was attributed by Dr. Bingham as the main reason why intelligent persons cause more ac- cident, “Data gathered over a period of years,” he said, “show a greater proportion of accidents among pro- tessional men, doctors, lawyers and business men, than among delivery boys, truck men, taxicab drivers and laborers.” The conference round table group on politics and psychology indorsed a proposal to urge municipal authorities to establish bureaus in connection with traffic courts, where drivers repeatedly involved in ac- cldents or charged with reckless driving could be referred for medi- cal and psychological examination a8 to their competence.
