Tomorrow the planes must be put | through a navigability and seaworthi- ness test. This consists of having the racers taxi over the starting line, fly once over the course, land, taxi for one-half a nautical mile at a speed of 12 knots, take off and taxi over the finishing line. Immediately they must be moored to a designated buoy and left in the water for six hours. This is to determine water-tightness and seaworthiness. » repairs will be made, with the exception of changing propellers if necessary. If a ship is damaged in the tests tomorrow, it s disqualified as an entry, and no re. serve ship or pllot can fly in its istrad. | Estimates of Speed Made, Due to the fact that the American |racers are weighted down with two large gontoons, which produce a vast amount of “drag.” or resistance, air- men here do not anticipate a gpeed for the race greater than 230 miles per hour. They generally* concede that the pontoons make a difference of about 20 miles in speed. Lieut. Bettis' land plane closed course time was close to 250 miles per hour. The American entrants in the race are more concerned about the super- marine 8-4 than any other plane, be- cause of rumors that have reached America from England about its great {speed. It is powered with a Napler- Lion motor said to develope 750 horse- power. The motor is a direct drive, and the British figure that it will be able to complete the course, although admitting that after the race the motor will be virtually useless. The | other entrant, the Gloster III, is not attracting so much attention, because of its design, which, it is sald, is not “‘clean” enough to produce as much speed as the immaculately stream. lined S-4.

Octobe Three distinct types of aquatic planes will battle for supremacy over the waters of Chesapeake Bay in the Jacques Schneider trophy race at Bay Shore Park Saturday. ,In their di versity aeronautical exflerts are find- ing an interest vying with that in the tremendous speed expected to be de- veloped. Observers of the United States, Great Britain and Italy will watch with keen eyes the cause as well as the effect while 350 kilometers of dazzling speed is unreeled in the world’s premlier seaplane racing event. Saturday's event will match biplanes against monoplanes, flving boats againet seaplanes and Napier Lion en- glnes against Curtiss. Italy, with two legs on the trophy won in 1920 and 1921, pins its faith to shipe of the flying boat type, the bodies resting on the water at the take-off, the motors elevated above both wings and body, forward of the cockpit. Italy’s Flying Boats. Italy's two Marlo Castoldi de- signed Macchi fiying boats are mono- planes, powered with Curtiss en- gines. The Itallan contention is that the elevated motor offers less air resistance than the underhanging pontoons of seaplanes, and points to her Schnelder cup victory of 1821 achieved with a ship of this type— a Savol flying boat. Vietory for Italy this year, being that country’s third in flve consecutive contest years, would carry permanent poses- sion of the trophy. The United States, this year's cup defender, has entered one Army and two Navy Curtiss seaplanes—spe- cially built racers. almost identical of the biplane type, and powered with Curtiss engines rated at 619 horsepower. One ot the Navy en- tries is the ship in which Lieut. Wil- liams recently made 302 miles an hour from a diving start, and the Army entry is this year's Pulitzer winner. In contrast to the Italian flying boats, the engines of the seaplanes are encased in the body of the ship. On the other hand, the seaplanes are elevated on pontoons, which offer wind resistance below the body, as do the engines of the flying boats above. The British alrmen particularly are in a position to study the compara- tive performances of two distinct types of craft.

GREAT BLACKMAIL RING DISCOVERED Has Obtained Thousands by Threats in Chicago, Joint Investigation Reveals. By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, October —~Opera- tions of a blackmall ring, which, prey- ing allke on hootleggers, gamblers and reputable business men, has ob- tained thousands of dollars, have been disclosed in & joint investiga- tion of the police and Federal agents. One attempt, with Louis Smith, proprietor of an automobile supply store as its intended victim, seeming- ly was designed to increase the de. fense fund of Albert Anselm! und John Salice, gangsters, on trial for Killing two policemen Smith wus given the choice of bringing $5,000 to a rendezvous or suf- fering death for himself and his fam- ily. With detectives, he took a bo gus package to a place named. but no one was found to take it. The threatening letter to him sald the moner would be used to save Ansel and Salice from the noose.

Some of the tax clubs are plainly saying they intend to go back home and tell the people what their repre sentatives in Washington are sayving. One tax club gave a polite hint to that effect to Chairman Green of the House ways and means committee at banquet Thursday night. Another club appeared before the ways and means committee and Representative Garner, ranking Democrat, said he hadn't heard of the organization be fore, but listened respectfully to their suggestlons. Now another club will be here tomorrow.

The idea of bringing the constitu ency closer to the member of Congres: in this way commended itself to the tax assoclation: v to help get a scfentific tax law, but even the most legitimate of organizations meet con gressional frowns when there is any appearance of organized wealth Perhaps more important than the influence which the clubs will be able to exert here will be the knowledge that the individuals will get of the tax problem and congressional maneuver: 0 that the people “back h will be better Informed through these clubs of who is assisting or obstruct ing tax reform. Another advantage which the tax clubs have over previ. ous methods of influenci Congress is that State groups ordina re not in close touch with each other. The national movement in this case will mean that the State clubs will co- operate to persuade their members of Congress to modify extreme positions. A congressional election is to be held a year hence and members of Con- gress will not readily antagonize in- fluential constituents, some of whom in the past have not hesitated to us. sist by financial contributions and otherwise in the election of members of Congress. It's a delicate procedure at best and may prove a boomerang to the organizers. but it is worth while to note that thus far there are only murmurings, which may or may nof vanish in the face of effective pressure from “back hom \ (Copyright. 1925.)
