By the Associated Pres LUVERNE, Ala., October 12.—Al- though summoned to appear today be- fore the special grand jury investi- gating floggings in Crenshaw County, James Ksdale, grand dragon of the Ku Klux Klan in Alabama, apparently has left the State, Attorney General Charlie €. McCall said this morning. The attorney general also said the Rev. L. A, Nall, said to be exalted cyclops of the Georgia Klan, and who was to appear before the grand jury today, also was missing. He add- ed that Esdale is believed to be at- tending a Klan meeting in Chicago. George H. Thigpen, State superin- tendent of insurance, and Cecil Davis, both sald to be high officials in the Klan, were called for questioning by the grand jury today. It was learned that Attorney Gen- eral McCall will endeavor to obtain X conviction on felony charges. Recent |C | State legislation makes assault and battery a felony when committed by ed persons.

The body WASHINGTON, D. C. AUTO TAG PARLEY 1S DUE TOMORROW D. C. Committee Will Visit Gov. Byrd in “Concilia- tion” Move. With the hope of ironing out mis- understanding and uncertainty as to enforcement of ‘the new Virginia li- cense tag law, which has threatened to give rise to an automobile reci- procity war, representatives of the trade bodies of Washington, in com- pany with Traffic Director Harland as the official “observer” for the Dis- trict, will go to Richmond, Va., to- morrow for a ‘‘conciliation conference’ with Virginia authorities. The party.will be received by Gov. Byrd at his executive offices at the Virginia capital at 2 p.m., and It is expected that James M. Hayes, commissioner of motor vehicles Virginia, also will be called into the conference. Final plans for the conference were completed here by the Board of Trade this morning and Edwin C. Graham, president of the trade organization, this afternoon was to confer again with the District Commissioners con- cerning the position of Washington officials. Officlals of the local trade groups which are vitally concerned in the new Virginia automobile tag regulation should they be applied to local busi- ness trucks making regular deliveries yirginia believe that the threaten- ed reciprocity “war” can be averted by a personal conference. They have been convinced that the new Virgirin license law was not aimed at Wash- ington business concerns delivering in Virginia, but against Virginia resi- dents escaping purchase of Virginia tags by using District of Columbia tags, which are much cheaper. President Graham, George W. Oftutt, jr., and other officials of the Board of Trade will leave here for Richmond tomorrow morning at 8 o'clock and are to meet a delegation of the Wash- ington Chamber of Commerce at Rich- mond prior to the conference at 2 p.m. Gen. Anton Stephan, representing the Merchants and Manufacturers’ Asso- ciation, and Traffic Director Harlan also were to accompany the Board of Trade party. The chamber group will be headed by Jerome KFanciulli. In addition to the local groups, rep- resentatives qf the Arlington County Chamber of Commerce and the Alex- andria Chamber of Commerce are ex- pected to attend. READY FOR CAMPAIGN. Justice Allan Says He Is Waiting for Officer. Encouraged by the assurance from Richmond that the motor vehicle com- missioner is not suffering from “cold feet” in conmection with the D, C.- Virginia tag controversy, Justice of the Peace James Allan today issued an ultimatum to the effect that as soon as a State officer arrives at Vienna “the fight will be on at once."” At the same time Justice of the Peace H. Carlin Cockrell of Kenmore, Va., who says he unwittingly started the whole controversy, and is sorry for it, issued a lengthy statement de- fending his action in rescinding fines in two of the preliminary tag cases and charging Judge Allan, who levied the fines, with unbecoming conduct on the bench. While Judge Allen was announcing his determination of waging warfare on persons accused of violating Vir- ginia’s automobile registration laws, his former associate on the bench was declaring that “public senti- ment” is against the campaign and that it should be discontinued, law or no law, in so far as it affects the friendly relations between Virginia and Washington.

FLYERS ON WAY TO PARIS QUIT OFFICE WORK . 10 FLY AT FAIRS Ruth Elder Remembered by 0ld Friends as Child of Tomboy Tendencies. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK., October 12.—From, the { obscure boredom of out-of-date maga- zines and the somnolent buzz of a dentist's drill in a Lakeland, Fla., office, Ruth Elder, “the prettist girl who ever learned to fly,” rose today to & position of emirence behind the roaring motor of a transatlantic plane by a combination of daring, initiative and beauty. Miss Elder, who took off for Paris with Capt. George Haldeman, was born in Anniston, Ala., September 12, 1902, fourth in a family of fiv childven of Mr. and Mrs. J. O. Elder. Neighbors remember Ruth as a vivid child of tomboy tendencies, who grew | up to be a leader of her six in the | Quintard School at Anniston, a main- stay in basket ball and a factor in social and scholastic affair Married Electric Salesman. After finishing high school Miss Elder learned stenography and worked for a while in Anniston, Jater marry- Ruth Elder and Capt. George Haldeman in front of their plane, just prior to their start across the Atlantic, with Paris ns their goal. STOCK MODEL SHP USED ON FLIGHT Passenger Seats Replaced by Gasoline Tanks in the American Girl. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, October 12.— The monoplane on whose staying powers Ruth Elder and Capt. orge Halde- man have staked their lives is a stock model Stinson-Detroiter like that flown over the Atlantic by Wiiliam S. Brock and Edward F. Schlee on their incompleted round-the-world flight. The Elder craft is powered by a single Wright-Whirlwind motor, such as was used in the flights of Lind- bergh, Chamberlin, Byrd and Brock and Schlee. Every piece of material in the plane was subjected to an X-ray examina- tion for possible defects. The plane has a wing spread of 46 feet and the fuselage a length of 32 feet, - in which the passenger seats have been replaced by extra gasoline tanks. Vision is provided by four glass windows behind the engine, two in front and one on either side. GIRL AND MAN FLYING TO PARIS EXPECT TO ARRIVE IN MORNING (Continued from First Page.) that called for the longest over-water hop on record, a flight of nearly 3,600 miles along the shipping lanes directly from Long Island to the French coast. Seven other transatlantic airmen made overwater hops of approximately 1,900 miles fiom Newfoundland to the Trish coast on flights to England and Europe. Although it called for a total flying distance of some 3,800 miles, the more southern route was selected in prefer- ence to the great circle course in the hope of avolding ice and possibly being able to fly over fog. The course lay aimost due east for a distance of 1,244 miles, when the pilots planned to change to northeast for the rest of the distance. While the course followed the shipplng lanes all the way, Halde- man said he would rely entirely on the plane’s instruments, an earth inductor compass, drift indicator, turn and bank indicator and altimeter. Two Women Have Perished. Two women have perished attempt- ing ocean flights this year. A third was rescued at sea. Miss Elder made the hop while Mrs. Frances Wilson Grayson was waiting improved weather to start a trans- Atlantic flight from Old Orchard, Me. ‘Weather conditions were regarded by Dr. James H. Kimball of the Weather Bureau as probably more unfavorable than for any previous transatlantic flight. After the first 300 miles, he said, the winds would tend to send the plane to the south of its course and at 1,200 miles out the wind would come at almost right angles hundred miles further, where the ship was expected to skirt the first low pressure area, he said, the winds would swing right on the tail of the plane, and then to the south, tending to send the ship to the north of its course. Then would come tail winds, he sald, until the fivers enter the worst weather of the trip, a storm and fog east of France. The flyers were ad- vised by Kimball to try to climb above this low pressure area, suggesting that they cruise at 10,000 feet or higher. Little Danger From Ice. “It's now or never,” Haldeman said, when the situation was described to him and he was told that conditions were better than they probably would be for weeks. . “It's up to you,” Miss Elder told him. “All right, we'll go,” he replied. Haldeman felt there was little dan- ger from ice due to fog and rain at high altitudes. The American Girl down he would operate the set on a G620.meter wave length from a battery capable of supplying electrical energy for 6 hours. The iarder of the American girl weighed 9 pounds and included roast chicken, two vacuum bottles of coffee and beef tea, turkey sandwiches, cheese sandwiches, orange juice and chocolate. The two flyers went to the field yes- terday dressed as though they had planned an ordinary visit to the hangar instead of a hop to Paris. Miss Elder wore a plaid sweater, golf stockings to match, golf shoes, light woolen knickers and a varl-colored bandeau around her head. Haldeman was dressed in a blue business suit, tan shoes and a gray cap. Before boarding the plane both donned fur- lined Army flying suits. The take-off was one of the most thrilling since that of Lindbergh's. Perched on the starting mound, the plane was fueled and the flyers await- ed a favorable wind. Finally Halde- man, tired of waiting for the wind to change and with only about an hour more of daylight left, decided to go to the other end of the runway. He kiss- ed his wife goodby and jumped aboard. Miss Elder, who had been walking about nervously, saying: “I'm very happy, I'm very happy,” smiled and joined him. “I depend upon God and if he wants us to get there we will get there,” she said. Headed Due East. From Roosevelt Field the plane headed directly east and presumably passed out to sea at Montauk Point, Long Island, approximately 120 miles from the start. The pilots did not expect to sight any ships during the first hours of the flight. Although the Amerlcan Girl took off in the face of thelr objections, the faith of two families and the backers of the fight went with Miss Elder and Haldeman in _their journey. Prayers were offered up by Miss El- der’s mother, Mrs. J. O. Elder, in her home at Anniston, Ala. Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Haldeman, elder- Iy parents of Haldeman, at Lakeland, Fla., were confldent of the success of the ‘undertaking. Mrs, Haldeman at the fleld expre: ed her confidence in the two fiyer: reference to Miss Elder’ she said: “I know that in an emergency my hus- band relies on her judgment.” Carries Vanity Case. Joseph D. Holloway, spokesman for the flight backers. at Wheeling, W. Va., sald: “We did not want Miss Elder to hop off, but now that she and George have started we wish them godspeed and a safe arrival at Le Bourget Field. Barring unfavor- able weather, they should make it.” Without mentioning Miss Elder specifically, Col. Lindbergh said at Atlanta, “It is rather useless to take off_on flights involving great hazard unless there is some definite and worthy purpose in view. A prepossessing and powdered young woman started for Paris in the monoplane American Girl. When Miss Eider took off she slip- ped a new vanity case, which a friend had given her, into the pocket of her knickers. The vanity contained the usual accessories of beauty, with which Miss Elder is naturally blessed, but she traveled on the theory the prettiest woman is not immune to a shiny nose. “I am opposed,” she sald just be- fore taking off, “to carrying lucky omens, but I will take with me a small Bible, which Is the gift of my mother, and will wear a Chinese ring at the request of a girl friend.” Another item in Miss Elder's equip- ment was two pounds of cube sugar, the calories of which were advised by a physician as a protection against cold on the long flight. 17 SHIPS IN PATH. Many Big Liners Plying Route Which Flyers Will Follow. NEW YORK, October 12 (P).— Seventeen ships today were in the path of the monoplane American Girl. Among the ships likely to sight the plane were: The President Roosevelt, Mauretania, Ryndam, Belgenlan Aurania and Cameronia, bound wes the Tuscania, France, Olympic, Mis netonka.

McCardle, a retired Florida real estate man, and Edward Cornell, a Florida grapefruit grower, she raised $33,000 in Wheeling and organized the Wheeling Aero Exhibit Corporation, With the project thus supported, Miss Elder and Haldeman went to Detroit, where the StinsonDetroiter monoplane in which they took off was bulit for them. : “Publicity” Charge Fails. After a flight from Detroit to Lake- land and Wheeling, Haldeman and Miss Elder flew to Curtiss Fiald, where they awaited suitable weathér for a take-off. As days lengthened into weeks there were rumors that the flight was a publicity stunt, but these whispered charges failed when the standing of the Wheeling backers was found to be unimpeachable. ‘While at the flying field Miss Elder, a colorful figure in sports attire, habitually wore a red bandean about her hair. This came to be kncwn as the “Ruth ribbon,” a fad which the crowds of young girls who frequented the fleld adopted at once, « Miss Elder surprised even the best pilots when she passed her license test with an amazing repertory of stunts and was even more successful in her physical tests. An Army surgeon pronounced her “the perfect American gir),” entitling her to use the legend in bold letters along:the buff fuselage of her plane. Took Honeymoon by Plane. Her pilot, Capt. Haldeman, who is 29, was born in MacPherson, Kans., but has lived in Lakeland for tho past 13"years. He was in the automobile business there, but has spent:much time in the air since the wir, once making a tour of thé United States, following the coastal lines. During the war he served as an instructor at flying fields in this country, resigning in 1919 as an officer in the Air Service Reserve. In 1920 Haldeman flew to Thomas- ville, N. C., met his bride, Miss Virginia Lufsey of that place, at the church door and was married. MHe slipped the girl into his plane and soared away to Florida, Cuba and the ‘West Indies on a bridal trip. Halde- man later devoted much time to the study of weather and navigation charts. Mrs. Haldeman was at the fleld yes- terday and embraced her husband and Miss Elder in a farewell greeting just befor. the American Girl took off. s s COSTES EXPECTS TO MAKE ATLANTIC HOP OFF TODAY Aviators Will Head for Brazil After Leaving Dakar, Senegal. By the Associated Press. DAKAR, Senegal, October 12.—Dieu- donne Costes and Lieut. Joseph Le- brix will probably hop off on the Atlantic leg of their trip to Buenos Aires this evening, healing for Port Natal, Brazil. In their plane, the Nun- gesser-Coli, they arrived at St. Louis, Senegal, yesterday, completing the first leg of their jump from Paris. Mechanicians of the late Coeure Lines workshop here worked busily to make a complete inspection of the plane. The weather over the Atlantic was slightly hazy, with a moderate southeast wind. A mishap to the plane’s radio pre- vented it from keeping in touch with the coastwise stations during th flight, but the plane was sighted a various points, and the regularity of its progress indicated that all .was going smoothly. s PUEAO Broadcast Licenses Extended. The extension of the life of broad- casting licenses now in effect from October 15 until November 1 was ordered today by the Radlo Commis- sion. On the first of the month new 60-day licenses will go into effect pending the issuance of permanant ones. The 15-day extension was ordered today to make the licenses conform with the fiscal month. — Copenhagen, said the Dawn would take off at the first favorable moment.
