e LINDBERGH LEAVES ONNEW YORK OP Pilot Expects to Make Paris| Dash Alone After Over- Coll, - The geheral public, which has thought of little else sinco-the intrepid aviators started Bunday morning to fly to New York, is beginning to fear that, to use a pmmlnr French expression, they have “drunk In the great cup.” Some airmen, notably Capt, Pelletier Dofsy, still profess to belleve that Nun- gesser and Coli may yet be heard from. Others are less hopeful, among_them the eminent engineer, Henri Barba- roux, who designed the engine of the Nungesser plane, the White Bird. He declares there is no chance of their living if they dropped In the first part of the flight, for the hody of the plane would have prevented rapid emptying- of the gasoline re hauling Plane. | By the Associated Press. 8T. LOUIS, May 12.—Capt. Charles | Lindbergh, only lone pilot entered in} the $25,000 Ortelg transatlantic con-| test, left here this morning on the| second lap of his transcontinental | flight for Roosevelt Field, Long Is-j land, where he expects to put his Ryan monoplane into shape for the | New York-to-Paris hop. Leaving at 812 am. the former 8t. Louis-Chicago air mail pilot ex pected to complete the §50-mile air- line journey in 10 hours. Lindbergh was unaccompanied on the trip today. | as he will be on the trapsatlantic flight. Completing his 1,550-mile | flight from San Diego to St. Louis | yesterday in 14 hours and 5 minutes, Lindbergh made the longest flight in | this country of an unaccompanied | pllot, according to available records. | Will Fly by Compass. Arising at § a.m., Lindbergh worked | on his plane until § o'clotk, when he climbed into the cockpit ready for the take-off. His backers, \tho will follow him East by train, and a group of St. Louisans wens at the fleld. Two or three days will be spent in New York putting the plane into condi- tion for the ocean flight and then only the weathor remains to determine the Lindbergh said. is sacrificing a relief pilot or} navigator for added gasoline, and be- | lieves the cruising range of his mono- | plane will determine the success of the trip. He said he would fly by compass and would need to take no observations. Plans for Forced Landing. In the event of a Yorced landing at mea, Capt. Lindbergh has his plans mapped out. If the wings are not erushed in landing, they will keep &im afloat 45 minutes, he said, in " which time he can pump the gasoline tanks dry to serve as buoys. He also| has a rubber raft which can be in-| flated quickl, —_— HOPE FOR FLYERS REVIVED IN WILDS OF NEWFOUNDLAND {Continued from First Page.) Strait_ between Newfoundland and Cape Breton and thus into the same gulf. * This would harmonize with plans ‘which . the French aviators are said to have made to attempt a passage up the St. Lawrence River in_case they encountered fog- on the Grand Banks. Flying southwest from Har- bor Grace would have given them & water passage most of the way to Cabot Strait, broken’ only by the stretches of two or three peninsulas. A course almost due South would have carried them 40 miles across the great Avalon Peninsula, compris- ing_the whole Southeastern section of Newfoundland, to the head of St. Marys Bay on the south coast, whence they could 'have kept on southeastward to the Nova Scotia coast, or turned west and headed for the Gulf of St. Lawrehee. On the other hand, should they have made the mistake of heading northwest, they would have been carried into the vast wilderness of the mountainous interior:of the colony. One hope of a safe landing gven there, however, lies in“the fdct that a third of the ‘surfate of Newfoundland is covered with water. There are sev- eral’ large lakes and many smaller ones besides large and smali rivers. Reports Carefully Checked. Every effort was being made today to theck the reports from Harbor Grace and to learn whether any one else;there or elsewhere in Newfound- land heard or saw the White Bird. Denis Meaney, railway agent at Harbor Grace, in a message today to Sir Willlam Horwood, acting governor of Newfoundland, said that the three persons who had reported hearing the ‘afrplane engine on Monday morning weré prepared to make oath to that éffect. He said he had laid all the facts before the local magistrate. The stories told by O'Brien and Stapleton, alhough working in dif- ferent parts of the town, agreed s substantially when they were exam- ined by Magistrate Casey of Harbor QGrace today that William E. Higgins, attorney general, has ordered the magis to extend his investigation over' the entiré adjoining ‘area. Magistrate Casey in his report to the attorney general said that the 1 two men were unshaken in their story ‘that while working in the fields they * distinetly heard the hum of an air- plane motor continuing for some !minutes, although they were urable | to see any plane because of the fog.

Authorit'ds attached td the Naval Air Service rémark that a plane with: out floats is in great danger of smash ing when it strikes the surface of the sea unless it is exceptionally calm. Even if the White Bird fipated, they point out, its form was entirely un. adapted to riding the waves even .in 1 moderately rough sea. The newspapers are giving the greatest prominence to lengthy de: ptions of the elaborate measures taken by the American authoritles to find the missing airmen. They ex- press the sentiment that everything humanly* possible s being done.

Ten years are needed to cover even the major topics in restating the com- mon law, George W. Wickersham, president of the American Law Insti- tute, declared today at the opening eession of the fifth annual mecting of the institute at the Mayflower Hotel. The purpose of the institute s restate- ment of the'common law in clear, sim- ple_language. Chief Justice Taft, jufiges of State Supreme Courts and fawyers from many parts of the coutry attended the session today. The meeting will continue “through Saturday. During the three days consideration will be given to the law of contracts. torts, agenay and eonflict of laws. The chiet detects of the common law in its present form are its uncertain- ty, caused by lack of agreement among lawyers as to its fundamental princi- ples, and its complexity, Mr. Wicker- sham sald. Clear statement of funda- mentals is its greatest need, he pointed out. Following reports of officers, direc- tors and committees today the insti. tute took' up consideration of conflict of laws, with a view to redrafting the law, Agency and torts will be taken up tomorrow and contracts Saturday. The institute has already been five years in it work. Dr. William Searle Holdsworth, pro- fessor of English law at the Univer- ity of Oxford; Owen J. Roberts, Gov- ernment ofl counsel. and Silas H. Strawn, American member of the Chi- nese extraterritoriality commission, will speak at the annual dinner of the institute in the hallroom of the May- flower Saturday night.

The States from which no replies have been recelved are Connecticut, Georgia, Illinols, Indiana, Towa, Ken: tucky, Maryland, Minnesota, Mon- tana, New Hampshire, Oregon, Rhode 1sland, South Carolina, Utah and Wis- consin, Of these States, Town has been repregented as strongly anti-Coolidge, and so has Wisconsin, In Minnesot: too, there has been anti-Coolid sentiment because of the President’ veto of the McNary-Haugen farm re- lief bill. For the rest of the missing States, it appears that the President will have little difficulty obtaining delega- tions to the national convention if he be a candidate, although the friends of former Gov. Frank O. Lowden of Iilinols may make & bid for a Lowden delegation. The District of Columbia, through its national committeeman, FEdward F. Colladay, has declared, too, for the renomination of President Coolidge, and has discounted the third-term issue. Richards Tells Views. ~* C. Richards, Repyblican national committeeman for Washington, say “In my opinion another term fa tute a third term as generally under- stood, nor do I think the third-term issue would be a, serious obstacle either to the nomination or re-election of President Coolidge in 1928. There is very little third-term talk in this section. ~ AS matters now stand I think President Coolidge is the logical candidate of the Republican party in 1928. Something might occur to change the situation, byt it does not seem possible.” W. B. Milligan, Republican national committeeman for South Dakota, 8 say:! “I do not think another term would constitute a third term and it would not be an issue here. President Cool- idge’s attitude on farm problems is the issué in this agricuitural State. ‘W. G. 8keely, Republican natlonal committeeman for Oklahoma, say: “I would not _consider another tei for President Coolidge a third term. In my opinion the third term issi would not be & serious obstacle to his nomination or re.election. He is the logical candidate of the Repub- lican party in 1928.

Simpson of York Village tional committeeman, says: “I do not consider that if President Coolidge is nominated and elected again he would be serving a third term, and it such should be the case, T do not think the third term issue would be a serious obstacle either in the nomination or the election of President Coolidge in 1928. 1 consider also that President Coolidge is the logical candidate. I think today that he stands in the eyes of the peonle of New England as strong as ever.” Mrs. Guy P. Gannett, Republican national committeewoman for Maine, r Olied categorically that the third- term issue would not lie against Mr. Coolidge! that it would not prove a serious obstacle to his nomination or re-election, .nd that he is the logical candidate of the Republican party for President next year. Representative J. Will Taylor, Re. publican national committeeman for Tenneasee, says: “I do not consider that if President oolidge were a candidate to succeed nself in 1928 it could legitimately be construed as candidacy for a third term, however much effort might be expended to misrepresent it. I think President Coolidge is the choice of the large majority of the Republicans of the country for President in 1928, and if he consents to run I predict he will be nominated without serious opposi- tfon and triumphantly elected. He is, in my opinfon, the logical candidate and the strongest possible candidate the party can present Idaho Opposition Seen. Mrs, Gladys Terhune, Republican national committeewoman for Idaho, sa While another term for President Coolidge would not legally constitute a third term, it would be regarded as such by the majority of the voters. It "has proven a serious obstacle to other renominations. Why not to Coolidge? You would expect my answer to your third question (Is President Coolidge the logical candi- date of the Republican party in 1928?) to reflect the sentiment of the people in this State rather than my own personal feeling in the matter. Poli- ties has not yet been discussed enough for sentiment to crystallize, but this is strictly an agricultural community and I would not expect it to be overwhelmingly in favor of Coolidge." Charles A McCloud, Republican na- tional committeeman for - Nebraska sa; “Political conditions in_Nebraska are in a chaotic state. Voters are drifting around and do not know at this time what they will want at primary time in 1928. There is some objection to President Coolidge on account of a third term and others are bpposed to him on account of his veto of the McNary-Haugen bill, It s too early to make a forecast as to the political sentiment in regard to any particular candidate. The Presl- dent has many warm political friends In Nebraska. It is entirely too early to make an estimate of political con- ditions in this State. So many things could happen between now and the primary date to entirely change the situation.” Mrs. H. H. Foster, Republican na- tional committeewoman for Arkansas, says: ““Upon the death of President Hard- ing, Vice President Coolidge (by law) became Chief Magistrate, or acting President. Technically, officfally, Mr. Coolidge has been President of the United States only one term. ““Therefore, the 'third term Issue’ does not merit even a challenge. “'President Roosevelt ruled the minds and hearts of the people by belng very outspoken. President Coolidge manages us no less truly in a totally different way. President Roosevelt announced to the world that he would not succeed himself, Presi- dent Coolidge is our ‘Brer Rabbit President.’ He's layin’ low, pearin’ out behind de busl When de time comes, he'll hop. R. B. Creager, Republican national commltteeman for Texas, says the third-term fssue would not lie against President Coolidge, that it would not halt him and that he is the logical c;;\;udn!e of the Republican party in “1 may add,” says Mr. Creager, hat the third-term ‘bugaboo’ will be used by the Democrats an others who are opposed to M:. Coolidge, but will not have the slightest effect on the great majority of American citizens, who, beyond any question, favor his réturn to office in 1928. Literally hundreds of thousands of saner Demo- crats of the countrv will vote for Mr. Coolidge on his record and against any Democratic nominee. If Al Smith is the Democratic nominee there will be a roal chance of the electoral votes of Texas going to Coolidge.” LABOR APPLICATIONS. The Civil Service Commission today announced that, beglnning Monday and continuing until further notice, it will ' receive applications from men only for unskilled laborer positions in Washington.

A year has gone by sings the passage of the building bill, and It may seem to some that very little has been accomplished toward actual buflding. This is true enough, but any hurried progress might well have been accompanied by mistakes ;;'hk‘h could hardly have been recti- ed. “There have been disappointments, but these are not for the most part irretrievable. Bills were introduced adding greatly to the authorization for buildings outside of Washington and for the purchase of land in Wash- ington for future developments, Says Sentiment Increased. “These bills did not pass, but the sentiment in their favor has i d greatly in 12 months. Provision has been* made or is in the way of being made, for an expenditure in the DI trict of Columbia reaching far toward two hundred millions. This is for new lands,» new parks, Government buildings, schools, bridges and other projects, which, if well done, will be the most important steps ever taken toward the completion, of the Wash- ington plan. “It now is seriously proposed that a degree of control be placed upon the development of private property over- looking public parkways. If this is brought about by the next Congress it will be a very fmportant indication of the interest that public opinion is developing in a subject upon which no more than a year ago discussion was hardly possible. ‘At a recent meeting of the board of directors of the institute, a resolu- tion was passed offering to the tary of the Treasury the service and advice of any institute meémbers whom he might nominate. This offer was received with interest and steps have already been taken to make it cffec- tive." The need of raising the plan of preliminary education in all States to a uniform level develops upon the architects, according to a report made to the convention by Willlam P.
