Temporary Arrangements.- “It is possible that the commission will not be able to certify eligibles for any of the positions for which it has held esaminations before the lapse of the six-month period provided by law. At the expiration of this period, in accordance with the usual proced. ure preecribed by the civil service | rules, the commission will give the Treasury Department authority to ex- tend such temporary appointments as may be necessary until eligibles for probational empioyment can be cer- tified.” The reorganization bill provided for termination of all appointments Oc- tober 1, placing the entire enforce- ment machine, with the exception of the commissioner of prohibition, on a civil service basis. The positious thus vacated will be filled by appoint- ment from the list of eligibles, which will include agents and others now in the bureau who have been success- ful in the examinations. The change in reality will amount to a “‘paper reorganization,” inasmuch as most of the present personnel is expected to remain. INVALID BEATEN " BY MASKED BAND Man, 60, Says He Was Ac- cused of Mistreating Fanily; “Horribly Whipped.” By the Associated Press BIRMINGHAM, Ala., July 16.—The flogging of a 60-year-old invalid re- cently by a band of masked men was made known foday by the circuit solicitor's office at Roanoke, Ala., while investigations were in progress in other recent flogging cases in the State. Burns Parker, deputy solicitor, made public the report of Lon Royston, 60 years old, who sald he had been wrongtully accused of mistreating his wife and struck more than 50 times with a whip. Mrs. Royston corrobo- rated her husband’s statement that he had “never raised his hand” against her. Parker said the man had been “horribly beaten.” Three indictments were reported Hugh McSweeney floggings, and re- ports of a series of Whippings in Randolph County were being inves gated at Montgomery.

Warning in Non-Voting. The Senator took occasion to issue a warning against the dangers lurk- ing behind the growing indifference to voting on the part of the people of the United States. In his estimation this is one of the real menaces facing the Government today. Senator McMaster, the junior Sen- ator from South Dakota, in"a_ brief speech thanked the President and Mrs. Coolidge for coming to this State for the Summer and Representative Royal Johnson extended greetings from the prairie of Jim_ River Valley to the President and Mrs. Coolidge. In accordance with the understand- ing he had when he accepted the in- vitation to participate in this out- ing, President Coolidge did not speak. He and Mrs. Coolidge, following a luncheon in the home of Oscar Mat- thews, superintendent of the Dry Farming Experiment Station operated by the United States Department of Agriculture, posed for a panorama group photograph with the farmers and members of their families. This was the first opportunity thoe Presi- dent has had since coming to the West to rub elbows with any great number of real dirt farmers, and he gave every evidence of enjoying the experience, He seemed to give mnot the slightest concern to hints he re- ceived in advance that he was going right into the jaws of McNary- Haugen farm relief adherents. If there was any resentment om the part of thesc many farm people be- cause of the President’s veto of the McNary-Haugen bill or because of his administration’s failure to produce some other form of so-called farm relief, there was no indication of it as the President and Mrs. Coolidge mingled Jdemocratically about the vicnic grounds today.

By the Associated Press. 8. 8. LEVIATHAN, July 16. sengers America bound made a gal night with a dinner and a dance in honor of America’s transatlantic avia- tors, Comdr. Byrd, Clarence Chamber- lin, Noville, Acosta and Balchen. With true gallantry Thea Rasche, the ambitious fraulein, was included in the passengers’ acclaim. United States Senator Thoma ‘Walsh of Montana, in the only of the evening, extolled the aviators. He declared that aviation’s triumph proved that heroes could be recognized in times of peace better than in times of war, because their deeds were con- structive achievements, instead of de- structive, and time would prove that what had been so recently done was a genuine contribution to the peace of the world. Original Verses Sung. During the dinner original verses were sung which paid tribute to the aviators. Miss Hope Hampton, the American actress, sang “You're He- roes of the Air,” composed by Jimmy McHugh for the occasion. A genuine demonstration greeted the solo, after which *“Hallelujah Up to Date,” by Miss Charme Seeds, likewise written for the event, was sung by the diners, further praising the heroes, The chorus of McHugh's lyric ran: “Are we proud of you; do we love you true; You're the heroes of the air. Leaving loved ones home, across the foam, You're heroes-of the air. Mister Chamberlain and Byrd, flying all the news we've heard, What a welcome is walting for you! With your faithful crew, Levine and Lindy, too, You're the heroes of the air.” Gives “Hallelujah” Song. ‘The concluding stanza of Miss Iyric, to the tune of “Hallelujah, “Hallelujah! Hallelujah! . The flying men came home to you, bring medals to you, Hallelulah!

Carnival hats and toy balloons gave evidence of the spirit of the night's gayety. An onslaught upon the aviators for their autographs was at first endured patiently, but was followed by an un- ceremonious and hasty retreat to their cabins, even unto which they were pursued. flying WILL ATTEND MEETING.

He was to have labeled the tariff a price-fixing law, the repeal of which would furnish ample permanent relief to agriculture in that it would lower the prices of things the farmers have to buy. Failing to get it repealed, the farmers’ alternative, according to the undelivered speech, was to organ- iz6 to demand and get better prices for their products by collective bar- gaining. Before leaving the grounds to hoard their train the presidential party was shown about the farm of the station. Various experiments in improving dry farming were pointed out by Superin- tendent Matthews. The President did not wear his big 10-gallot hat today. He wore a stiff straw asailor hat instead. one would be led to expect from the | SMITH AND BRONTE RESTING IN HAWAII; PRAISED BY OFFICER (Continued _from First Page.) _ brought us over,” Smith said. the navigator slept until it w essary to awaken him for an appoint- ment with Gov.

McComb of the naval air station at Pearl Harbor. The naval officer declared that to land in the mud along the shore of Molokai meant death, and that land- ing in_the trees as Smith did, was the only alterrative. Comdr. McComb _inspected wrecked plane vesterda He declared, “There wasn't a drop of gasoline left in the tank. “It was dry as a bone. There was almost no ofl left.

A compassion for the homing pig- cons the plane was carrying was dis- closed by Bronte as one of the thoughts uppermost in his mind dur- ing the dangerous final stages of their flight. “I felt sorry for the pigeons,” the navigator related, “so just before we landed in that clump of Kiawe tree: 1 released the last two birds. We leased the first two birds when we were 300 miles from San Francisco. Attached to the birds were notes giving our position. “Yesterday morning when T earned we were running short of gasoline I decided that the other birds should have a chance for their liberty. I opened their cage. Out they hopped and soon were on their way to the nearest land, which in their case would be Hawalil. “Just before I released them I wrote a note giving our supposed position and saying that we had run short gasoline. 1 attached the note to a small cup and hung the cup on one of tke birds. The pigeons quickly left the plane.” And the DRUG STORE IS ROBBED. CLARENDON, Va., July 16.—Rob- bers last night broke into the drug store of W. R.

I disregarded the warning and con- tinued trying to do my duty. In my articles there have been references to the handicaps under which prohibition administrators labor. These exist inside as well as outside the department. When I relieved Capt. Jesse Thomp- son as head of the New Jersey dis- trict, he turned over to me something like $1,500 of a “slush fund.” This had been created by charging boot- leggers whose automobiles were seized an amount twice the cost of storing the cars, if the automobiles were re- leased under bond er by court order. The receipts were not deposited to the credit of the Treasurer of the United States, but were placed in a separate account in the name of the administrator. The administrator used the deposits to pay for special things which were difficult if not im- possible to obtain through regular channels. I took over the fund with full belief in the legality of.its origin. Soon after taking office I conceived the idea of placing some of my men in uniform. At that time prohibition agents were often mistaken for hi- jackers, and bootleggers made this an excuse for armed resistance. The uniform did away with this, and I also felt that its use would do much to overcome the general aversion to agents. Since there was no fund from which the uniforms could be paid for, I de- clded to buy them out of the receipts of the “slush fund.” It seemed to me nothing could be more appropriate ted by a Washington investigator. I agreed this was a splendid idea since my disbursing and it would be a good opportunity to find out if they | W OOATES TH NEW JUDGES Jury Cases Are Piling Up at Rate of 13 a Week, Says Counsel.

BY ARNO DORSCH FLEUROT. By Cable to The Star and the New York World. . PARIS, July 16.—Maurice Drouhin, French aviator who agreed to fly with Charles A. Levine in the latter’s Bel- lanca monoplane Columbia from Paris to New York, is reported by Le Matin to be discontented with his situation. “The signature to the contract with Levine has been delayed and Drouhin yesterday at Le Bourget was commencing to scratch his nose and ask whether Levine was not going to let him down,” Le Matin reported. Levine denied the story, saying the Drouhin contract was settled. He also denied that he might change his pilot in view of the prospect of his hiring several other pilots for his projected transatlantic ~commercial air service. The French chance for being the first to fly from Paris to New York rests with the Farman biplane, the Bluebird, which Drouhin deserted in favor of Levine's offer. It will be taken on a test flight Monday. Coste was refused permission to try ths flight. The commerclal air serv- ice decided his plane was unfit for the flight.
