PETERSBURG, Fla., August | 26.—A radio message from siation Nassau, picked up here by ancial Journal's 40-meter said that the Port of Brunswick, piloted by Paul Redfern, was sighted 300 miles east of the British Bahamas by a Steamer. The steamer arrived at Nassau at 11:40 p.m. last night and ported that the plane on its non- stop flight to Brazil was flving at an altitude of about 2,000 feet, headed in a southerly direction. | | i | | By the Associated Pres | BRUNSWICK, Ga., August 26.—A | vast expanse of sea and sky stretching away to the Tropics today- held be- hind its walls of silence the fate of its newest explorer. Roaring away from Brunswick at| noon yesterday in the face of un-| usually favorable weather conditions, | Paul Redfern, Georgia aviator, piloted his huge Stinson-Detroiter monoplane meaward on his proposed 4,600-mile non-stop journey to Rio de Janeiro. He sought to establish new endurance and distance marks. Despite head winds forecast, Red- fern today should be far along on his route through the Tropics., Steering a course east of the Bahamas, the young birdman headed for Porto Rico, which his scheduled indicated he should have reached by midnight. Pressing on, Redfern hoped to be speeding during the day over the waters of the Caribbean Sea toward the Isle of Trinidad. Ships Asked to Keep Watch. , Far out of the path of ships plow- ing through Southern waters during the early stages of the flight before he reaches Porto Rico, Redfern was not expected to be ted again -until he had swung over the Caribbean Sea, the cradle of hurricanes. As soon as he enters this leg of his trip, passing steamers may give reports of the plane’s progress. Radio advices have ‘heen broadcast throughout that region requesting any information. “ If the big ship is aloft today, Red- fern has passed a big portion of the 24 hours in_darkness. - Naval navi- gators and hydrographers at Wash- ington pointed out ‘that Redfern, in addition to bucking headwinds over practically his whole course, would be flying without a moon. Thie naval men said that if Redfern yeached his objective it would be| nothing short of a miracle. They es- timated he would miss his objective at Rio de Janeiro by about 450 miles, as they did not believe his gasoline =upply would last more than 57 hours. while with favorable conditions it would take 62 hours to reach his goal. They believe when he reaches the northeastern coast of Brazil he will turn east to Pernambuco. Will Check Fuel at Amazon. Redfern, in_referring to his fight, called it the Brunswick-to-Brazil hop, and said that when he reached the Amazon River he would check his pasoline supply to determine whether he would change his course to Per- nambuco or keep on to Rio. The fact that Redfern will be in} contact with land during most of his| flight, naval men point out, is in his favor, as he will be aided in| keeping_his course at night by n: (Continued on Page 5, Column 2 S _ Official Also Accused of Discharg- ing Officer Who Arrested Parent.

Evans was better than MacKenzie from the tee most of the way, but was not better with the irons except on rare occasions and was not nearly so good with the putter. The former champion lost three of the four short holes, but kept either even or not more than one down.

Copyright, 1927 | SHANGHAI, August 26.—Northern | troops under heavy gunfire crossed the river (Yangtze) in two places early this morning for a concerted drive on Nanking. Reports received from Nan- king state that the Northerners were temporarily driven off. Northern spies cut the Shanghal Nanking railway in two places for the purpose of cutting off the southern retreat toward Shanghai. A train was derailed, injuring 20 persons. The derailment delgyed Gen. Bei Chung-Hsi's arrival at Nanking, where he Is needed to lead the defending Southern troops, which already are reported to be nearly demoralized. Tarift Program Opposed. The Chinese General Chamber of Commerce has requested the Nanking government to postpone imposition of sweeping new taxes. This action makes Chinese and foreigners unani- mous in opposing the Nanking gov- ernment’s tariff autonomy program, which, if enforced, is expected to have a disastrous effect upon foreign as well as Chinese trade.

Movements of Nationalist troops in the vicinity of Shanghai have been seriously interrupted by the cutting of the railway line between Lukupang and Anting, 25 miles from Shanghai. The rails were removed, supposedly by agents of Sun Chuan Fang. The line was cut at 11 o'clock last night and up to a late hour this morning the train which had left Nanking last evening had not arrived here. Six thousand Nationalists 1st Corps troops passed through Shanghai yes- terday for Hangchow (Chekiang Prov- ince, south of Shanghai), where they probably will watch large numbers of doubtful troops which until last Spring were under the Northern general, Sun Chuan Fang.

CAVE-IN VICTIM ALIVE, RESCUE WORK RUSHED Crews Dig Feverishly to Reach Man Trapped in 40-Foot Well. By the Associated Press. WORCESTER, Mass., August 26.— Rescuers were working feverishly to- day in an endeavor to reach Fred Len- neau, 37, of Auburn, who has been trapped in the 40-foot well since it caved in on him at 6:30 last night. Lenneau was still alive this morn- ing, although he had grown appreci- ably weaker through the night. Held by timber and earth in an upright position he is unable to move, but his head is protected so that he is able to breathe freely. Ninety men worked through the night digging a parallel excavation. The excavators at 9 o'clock this morning had reached a depth of 1% feet, and it was estimated that i} would be necessary to sink the rescue shaft at least 7 to 9 deeper before a side Jead into the well ceuld be at- tempted. Thorugh this lead it is pro- posed to run shoring timbers to pre- vent the tumbled-in well supports from being dislodged and crushing the im- prisoned man, who is at present pro- tected by an arched formation of fallen well props on top of which is a guan- tity of earth.

REALLY FUNNIERE COSGRAVETOTEST STRENGTH BY VOTE Irish Free State Prepares forl: General Election Set September 15. By the Associated Press. DUBLIN, August 26, — Political leaders of the Irish Free State today were discussing plans for general par- liamentary elections fixed for Septem- ber 15. The. Cosgrave government yesterday announced the immediate dissolution of the Free State Legisla- ture and an opportunity for the peo- ple to declare their views at the polls, Nominations are to be made on Sep- tember 3. Although the government won a victory in the election of its cand: dates in Wednesday's two bye-elec- tions to fill the seats in the Dail Eireann of the late Countess Markie- vicz and of Kevin O'Higgins, who was assassinated recently, President Cos- grave decided that the government did not have sufficient margin of safety. To Convene October 11. On request of the executive council Gov. Gen. Healy agreed to proclaim dissolution of the Oireachtas, consist- | ing of the Dail Eireann, or Chamber of Deputies, and the Seanad Eireaun, or Senate. He set October 11 for the convening of the new Legislature. Mr. Cosgrave said that the entry nto the Dail of the Fianna Fail Dep- uties (followers of Eamonn'de Valera) and their alliance with the Laborites and the National League party cre- ated a situation entirely different from that envisaged by the electorate at the | last election. | ‘It is necessary,” the statement said in conclusion, “to bring an end to a parliamentary situation in which the work of the nation cannot be done.” Eamonn de Valera issued a state- ment declaring the government’s “sharp practice of rushing the coun- try into an election during the harvest is exactly what was expected. 1 am confident the forces of Irish Ireland will stand shoulder to shoulder in this final battle against imperialism."” Republican Defeat a Surprise. j The manner in which the Republi- cans were snowed under in the bye- election was commented on with as. tonishment. Government supporters ~maintain that their candidates would have had even larger pluralities but for the ab- sence on holiday of many persons who would certainly have voted for the gov- ernment. The government's adherents are, con- fident that when the new Dail assem- bles in October the president will have an effective majority. Election Call Criticized. An act of desperation and a chal- lenge to democracy is how Tom John- son, Laborite and opposition leader in the Dail Eireann, describes the Free State ministry’s move in calling for dissolution of the Legislature and gen- eral elections. “On the pretext of financial se- curity,” he says, “the government, realizing its weakness in the Dail and in the country, is seeking to snatch party advantage and return to power as an instrument of reactionary ele- ments in the country.” § He predicts the government will be defeated when the masses take up the challenge and declare at the polls that “the country must be governed not by | and for a small section, but by the | people and for the people.” - WIND DELAYS OLD GLORY.

Last night it set out to savesa whole family, the family flivver and a goodly portion of the family finances when four ts attempted to hold up Mr. and Mrs. Fabian L.

The Augustines had just entered the Jackson swamp area of the pike when four colored men jumped from their parked automobile, hidden in the darkness, and commanded Mr. Augus- tine to halt his car. Mrs. Augustine, however, exercising the prerogative of the “back-geat driver,” urged her hus- band to “do no such thing,” and the family machine sped away. On the return trip the Augustines were again ordered to stop by the same group of bandits, and this time Mr. Augustine put his foot on the gas and held it there until the Seat Pleasant Fire De- partment station was reached.
