May Require 45 Days’ Notice. Br the Associated Press CHICAGO. August ups T Air mail | service from Chicago to St. Paul, in- augurated more than two months ago by Charles Dickinson, was halted to- day while Dickinson asked the Gov- ernment to allow immediate cancella- tion of his contract. Postal officials and air mail traffic xecutives were in radiographic com- munication today over Dickinson's re- quest. The contract specifies that 45 days' notice of cancellation must be and Dickinson told Supt. A. 1. Ruden of the air mail fleld that if immediate cancellation is refused he will operate for 45 days more in order to obtain return of the bond he posted in_June. Local air mall traffic officials were hopeful that service would be resumed tomorrow, temporarily at least, and that the matter would be smoothed out so that service would continue in- definitely. They suggested that plane trouble might have caused the tem- porary interruption which caused Dickinson to seek cancellation of the contract. Dickinson could not be reached to- day to verify reports that his action was provoked by lack of traffic Officials here awaitad word from w cancellation is before Second Assistant Postmaster General Glover, in charge of air mail operations. .

JEALOUSY ALLEGED INDERHAN SLAYING His Attention to Wife of A. F. A. Smith in England Blamed for Fight. By the Associated Pre WHITSTABLE, County Kent, Eng- land, August 16.—Alphonse Francis Austin Smith, grandson of the late Hugh Ryan of Canadian railroad- building fame, is recovering in the Maidstone jail today from injuries he sustained Friday night in a fight, in which John Thomas Derham received a fatal bullet wound Jealousy !s alleged to have been the cause of the trouble. It is as- gerted that Smith objected to the attentlons paid by Derham to his wife, a pretty English woman, formerly Catherine White., Smith married her after Ruth Wynne, daughter of the late Robrt J." Wynne, once United States Postmaster (teneral and consul ifi;’{n’ al in London, divorced him in Derham was the grandson of the noted British army officer, Brig. Gen. Tyler, holder of the Victoria Cross. He was married some yearr ago to Consuelo, the daughter of the Mar- quess and Marqueso de Torre Her- mora, but they were not living to- gether. Fierce Fight Indicated. When the police were summoned to Stella Maris Villa, occupied by Smith and his wife and three children, Derham was dyving from a bullet wound and Smith was badly battered about the face and head and stream- ing with blood. That a fierce struggle had taken place was indicated by the great disorder of the drawing room. Mrs. Smith first met Derham at Herne Bay, where she was then liv- ing. Smith was residing in London. but occasiorally visited his wife. The friendship of Derham and Mrs. Smith is said to have ripened when he began glving her lessons in automobile driving. Several weeks ago Mrs. Smith took up her residence in the Stella Maris Villa and Smith joined her there last week. The Smiths and Derham spent Friday evening at supper at a hotel and later returned to the villa, where Mrs. Smith and Derham play- ed cards. Both Men Well to Do. Smith was born in Toronto in 1889 and came into a fortune when his grandfather, Hugh Ryan. died. He came to England when 9 years old and was educated at Eton and Cam- bridge. where Derham also was a student. He was always popular so- ctally and spent his money freely. Some time ago he was in financial diMculties, but finally a trust com- pany in Toronto arranged for a money settiement to give him a regular in- come. After he left the university Smith joined the regular army, but later gave up the commission and toured the world. He fought in the World War with distinction Derham was well off financially and was well known as a hockey player. U.S. HELD LEADING WORLD IN AVIATION Col. Paul Henderson Cites 9,000 Miles of Airways and 13 Busy Routes. By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, August 16.—The United States today leads the world in avia- tion, according to Col. Paul Hender- son, general manager of the National Air Transport. The unequivocal statement is based on a Nation-wide survey of the Aero- {nautical Chamber of Commerce, find- ings of which were announced last night by Col. Henderson, vice presi- dent and governor of the organiza- tion. The study shows that in the last year 5,800,000 miles were flown, more than 200,000 passengers were carried, and air express in excess of 112 tons was transported by the 290 commercial operatore reporting to the chamber. Epltomizing the situation in which aviation found itself at the beginning of 1925, the survey says: “It was underrated by a few in- fluential officers of the Army and Navy. It was ignored, in so far as practical actfon was concerned, by leaders in public life: it was regarded askance by business. Capital Has Entered. “But now, in Midsummer, 1926, it may be stated that much of the for- mer reserve in the high commands of the Army and Navy has disap- peared; positive and definite attention has been given by the administration and Congress, and, finally, with the entrance of responsible men and sub- stantial capital into air transport, the place of aviation in commerce and in- dustry is now very generally recog- nized. There has been. undoubtedly, a renaissance of flying. The survey, which was made by Luther K. Bell, traffic manager of Na- tional Air Transport and former traf- fic manager of the United States Air Mail Service, shows that no other country in the world approaches the | existing and proposed air mail activi- ties in the United States. “The United States has now in operation 13 air transport routes. mileage of which totals 4,076, the | service states. “Of these. 11 are un- | der Kelly contract air mail and two | are under authority of foreign mail | appropriations. } Have More Operators. ““We have probably more commer- cial operators than any other nation, due, undoubtedly, to the vast extent and the natural characteristics of our country. In 28 foreign nations there is a total of 102 air transport lines, most of them not regularly operated and none, 8o far as the Aeronautical Chamber of Commerce could deter mine, lacking some sort of subsidy. In the United States not one of the existing or proposed air transport lines 1s receiving & cent of subsidy “With nearly 9,000 miles of airways now being conducted on schedule, and with 2,500 reore in immediate con- templation, the United States un- doubtedly takes the lead in world aviation. This network, which radi- ates from Chicago to practically every part of the United States, has had the effect, so far ts the conduct of busi- ness is concerned, of reducing the transportation map to one-third its former size. i “The survey shows that, without | natienal guldance, there actually ex. 5 | of 3,608 landing flelds.

By the Associated Prese. MEXICO CITY, August 16 Except for a disturbance at the Church of San Jacinto, in the suburb of San Angel, during which the heads of a number of policemen and Catholics were bruised, Mexico's third priest less Sunday passed quietly. Some of the churches in the capital were comfortably filled with worship- pers. There was less than the nor mal crowd at the Shrine of Guada loupe, where the saying of the ros was conducted by woman leadel the Episcopal Christ Cathedral and Union Church services with lay readers in charge were held without any interference by the government officials. At Hear of “Uprising. The trouble at the Church of San Jacinto arose from the fact that the police had recetved a report that the | Catholics of San Angel were planning an armed uprising, while at the same time the Catholics had been informed that members of the Mexican Catholic, or schismatic church, which does not recognize the Pope, were planning to seize the church. When the police went to the church to search for arms the Catholics : sembled for the defense of the build- ing. The police endeavored to dis- perse the crowd and, failing, called for soldlers, who fired in the air and then clubbed the crowd with their rifles. The Catholics fn turn stoned the soldiers. Half Dozen Arrests. After the fray the police found the Catholics were not preparing for an uprising and the Catholics discovered that nobody was endeavoring to seize their church. Then the casualties went to their homes to bandage their bruises. The police arrested a half dozen Catholic leaders and charged them with ineiting the people to dis- order. Father Octaviano Rodriguez, a priest, was among those arrested. “The economic boycott instituted be- cause of the government’s religious relations has caused attendance at movies in Mexico City to be reduced by 50 to 75 per cent, it is asserted by the League for the Defense of Re- ligious Liberty.
