CHICAGO, September 15.—A letter | mislaid 35 years ago and believed lost has become the basis for two $100,- 000 suits against an Omaha, Nebr., creamery. The letter was writen in 1893 to Charles C. Dempsey, then an employe of the Fairmont creamery, setting forth an agreement by which the com- | pany was to set aside $1,000 in capital stock for Dempsey and four other em- ployes, who had sought an increase in wages. The men were to remain with the company for five more years, at| the end of which time, the letter said. Mr. Dempsey put the letter away, and they would receive the $1.000 in stock | | evidence.

He wired Senator Bingham to accept the leadership of America’s civillan aeronautical organi- zation and the Senator replied: “Your telegram deeply appreciated. willing to do whatever you think best.” So Mr. Adams thought it best that the Senator's name be presented to th: committee with his indorsement. In accepting Senator Bingham unant- mously, the convention by the same de- gree of expression deeply regretted the loss of Mr. Adams, who has been at the helm through trying times of the as- sociation. Mr. Adams was given a pro- found token of appreciation of the delegates. B Senator Bingham has been the chief protector and advocate of aviation in the Senate.

The convention in other resolutions, recommended the establishment of at least one good airport in every Ameri- can city and town; urged the extension of the nationel airways system so that it may cover all parts of the country; agreed to erect a marker at Kitty Hawk, N.

Mr. Adams of - fered his personal co-operation at any time. Mr. Adams was appointed 2 committee of one by the convention to notify Senator Bingham of his election. The convention took action on several important points concerning aviation, notably the recommendation that & committee be appointed by President Bingham to make a study of the needs of aviation and report its finding to the President of the United States and Congress. In taking this action the convention laid aside the proposal that the aeronautical program of the Fed- eral services be doubled. The convention also went on record as favoring the passage by the Senate of the Furlow bill in its original form. Through Mr. Adams’ efforts, the af-| felt that he would bring the association up to an even more influential organi- zation in aeronautic thought than it has been in the past, owing to the lack of sympathy for flying until the “Lind- bergh age” dawned.
