Pilot Disappointed by Levine to Fly Improved Aircraft. PARIS, September 5 (#).—Maurice Drouhin, disappointed in his plans to fly the Atlantic with Charles A. Le- vine, is to have the piloting of a new plane which is said to represent a great advance on existing transatlan- tic machines. Drouhin is quoted by the sporting paper L'auto as asserting that the plane will have a range of nearly 7.000 miles, making possible a_non-stop flight from Paris to San Francisco, although no distance so great will be attempted at first. The flight, he added, would not be made until the beginning of next year. KOENNECKE HOPEFUL. (ferman Aviator Still Planning Flight to U. S. This Year. COLOGNE, Germany, September 5§ #).—Otto Koennecke, the German aviator, today declared that he still intended to try to fly to America this year, if weather conditions were such as to give any prospect of success. Koennecke has been here for some time with his airplane, waiting for the weather to improve. Koennecke says that the failures of all attempts for an East to West crossing of the Atlantic wundertaken since his arrival at Cologne. show that he was right in not being stampeded into a premature start. Meteorologists with whom the avia- tor is working state that good flying weather is not impossible, even at this time of the year. .

The next stage was from Croydon to Munich on the 29th, and Munich to Balgrade on the 30th. We arrived at Constantinople on the 31st. We were detained there the best part of two da Turkish authorities wired Angora for permission to allow us to proceed on the journey, but Angora replied very leisurely and with instructions that while on Turkish territory we must folfow the railway line. This order compelled us to go 200 miles out of our charted course, representing a further loss of valuable time. To make matters worse we ran into bad weather between Constantinople and Aleppo. A severe storm developed and we flew 110 miles an hour through Lorvential rain and strong head winds.

However, we enjoyed the experi- ence very much, though dancing and dinner parties are not quite in our line. Leaving Bagdad at sunrise for Ben- dar Abbas, we had to fly very low, sometimes owing to head winds, and then we felt the terrific heat, which we had already been told about at Bagdad. Brock and myself were wet through with sweat and we had just about enough of it by the time we reached Bendar Abbas. Two loca) officials put us up for the night at Bendar Abbas and made us very comfortable. We were dog tired on and went -straight to bed after a substantial meal. This morning we awoke long before dawn, feeling greatly refreshed. By 7:15 we have everything in readiness for departure, and at 7:30 we said g00d-by to our hosts and boarded the monoplane for Karachi. Gas Tank Springs Leak. Everything went well until nearing Karachi, when our gas tank sprung a leak for the second time this trip. Fearing that matters might become serious and force us to descend, we flew cautiously it reduced the speed colse fo the coast, never loosing sight of land, to be prepared for an emergency. Fortunately we kept on a straight run into Karachi without anything serious happening, though Brock and I were expecting misfortune at any moment particularly as our supply of gas was very low. They say airmen sometimes get the devil's own luck. We certain- ly had it tod: The leaky gas caused our late arrival early this afternoon. We expected to be in Karachi by noon otherwise. However,I am right glad that we have got here safely and, Brock is, too. We are still uncertain as to our route after leaving Calcutta. There is some trouble with the Japanese government which may compel an alteration of our Far Eastern route, but we expect to get everything settled before we leave Calcutta in any case.

Seemingly unperturbed by his ar- rest, Hill told his captors a connected | story of his movements before and after the discovery of his mother’s | body in the basement of her Streator home August 22. Investigation has indicated that the mother, Mrs. Eliza Hill, wealthy recluse and divorced wife of a Streator physician, was shot to death August 13." Her body was buried in a shallow grave in the basement. After hours of questioning, the | young suspect admitted that in Stre tor, where he had lived since childhood, | he ‘gambled away hundreds of dollars obtained by forging his mother’s name to checks, and that he fled ac country when he read in a S newspaper of a coroner’s jury mendation that he be arrested for murder. Arrested in Auto Theft. He was arrested here late Saturday night by a police detective, who was looking not for a suspected matricide, but for an automobile thief. Hill, who had been living in a hotel a half block from police headquarters, sold his au- tomobile Friday to a garage here. When police received the routine re- port of the sale, it was noticed that the engine number of the car was similar to that of a machine stolen in Seattle. Investigation disclosed that the car had not heen stolen, but when the de- tective found a pair of Illinois license plates in Hill's room, he decided to question the youth, The fugitive admitted that he was the Streator murder suspect, Who had been sought throughout the country. HIll told police officials that he last saw his mother on August 6, a week before the’ supposed slaying. “I worked in Chicago and it was my custom to go home to Streator ‘on week ends,” he sald. “When I got there the week end of August 13, mother wasn't at home, and I assum- ed she had gone to Chicagp, because she had spoken some time before of making the trip.” Denies Reported Evidence. Hill was interrupted at this point by his questioners, who told him there was evidence to show that he informed Mrs. Hill's attorney and banker on Au- gust 14, when they called by telephone, that Lis mother “had just stepped out and would be back.” “I did not tell them that,” Hill co tradicted. “I told them I thought m: mother had gone to Chicago for a trip. Denfal also was made by Hill of the accusation that he asked the caretaker of the Hill home to “tamp down” some loose dirt in the basement. He like- wise denied theft of a gun similar to the one used in the slaying. Time after time detectives asked him about a reported relationship be- tween his mother's dislike for his flancee, Alice Sawyer, and a reputed threat to disinherit him, but he de- clined to discuss that subject.
