Mr. Suit to Oust Navy - From Land Started In District Court | Efforts were started yesterday in the District of Columbia Supreme Court to oust the Navy from a large plot of ground, estimated to be val- ued at more than $1,000,000, adja- cent to-the Mare Island Navy Yard, California. Secretary Wilbur af the Navy Department was made defend- ant in a suit filed in Equtiy Court by James E. O'Donnell of Los Angeles, who claims to be the owngr, with others, of the plot of ground. O'Don- nell sceks to have the court restrain the Secretary of the Navy from mntnlalnln? possession of the ground. A plat filed with the bill of com- plaint shows the ground to be on the tip of an island, adjacent to Mare 1Island, on which the naval station is located, and is as large as the whole of Mare Island. The plaintiff, through Attorney Edmund Burke, tells the court that the lands in question were granted to Cali- fornia by the United States on Sep- tember 28, 1830, and subsequently the State sold it for value, and it has come to the present owners through mesne conveyances. He also says that a United States patent to the land was issued to the owners on March 9 last, but that the Sec- AIR DERBY PROTEST “RULNG WTHHELD Officials Fail to, Answer Con- tentions of Class B Flyers. By the Associated Press. LOS ' ANGELES, September 19.— While officials of the nagional air races were bhsy today revising plans for future transcontinental airplane derbles and preparing to bid good-by to the flyers in the Los-Angeles-Cin- cinnati Derby beginning tomorrow, the only thorn that grew out of the na- tional meet last week still stuck with them. ‘The protest of a group of aviators who participated in the class B race of the transcontinental air derbies from New York to Los Angeles has not been decided. The fiyers objected to several planes in the race, claiming they were of a construction’ that gave superior speed advantages. A committee began an immediate investigation, but thus far has not announced its findings. Final official standings in the race mean- while remain in doubt. Plans are under way to hold at least two transcontinental derbies to Los Angeles each year, on dates that would not conflict with the national air races. Announcement of these plans was made as a score of aviators Frenlred to hop off in the Cincinnati Derby. Class A planes take the ai¥ at 5 o'clock Thursday morning_from Mines Field and at 6 o'clock Friday morning the class B racers will hop. Entrants in the non-stop flight may leave any time Friday or Saturday. BUSSES TO BE REROUTED.

LONDON, September 19.-—-Many pas- | sengers were injured, some seriously, when a train from Crayford, carrying city workers, -crashed into the buffers at Charing, Cross Station this morning The third coach was telescoped into the second and pinned in many occu- pants. They were released only after windows and woodwork had been smashed. Twenty persons were treated by first ald squads and were able to go to their offices. Several others were more seri- ously hurt and were taken to a hos- pital. There were no deaths. Jamieson received a letter demanding the ransom. Following instructions to act without notifying the lice the distracted father secured funds, and went alone to a downtown corner where he had been told to meet an envoy of the kid- napers and deliver the ransom. ‘The man appeared and on the prom- ise his son would be restored to himat once the banker turned over $4.000. Jamieson said the man disappeared into a nearby crowd and failed to re- turn. It was then that the police were notified.

Irs as if JULES VERNE Spobe from the GRAVE 1 Explasn How He Wrote “20,000 LEAGUES UNDER #e SEA” FTEN in these days of the submarine, the wireless, the air- ; plane, you hear someone remark, “Isn’t it remarkable that Jules Verne, fifty years ago, foresaw all of these things and wrote of them as if they were happening before his eyes? How could he do it?*’ Verne him- self explained. Long before the visions of his creative brain came true, he wrote an article on**Tmagination,” in which he told how the inventive writer worked out his problems. Twenty-five years ago, the article was sent to an editor in New York who accepted it, ut it away in a desk and forgot it. Recently that editor cleaned out his old desk and o! found not only this.article but swo unpublished poems by Ella Wheeler Wilcox. Rare gems for 1928 readers, these. Where should they be published, to find the most a{)prcciali\'e audi- ence? In Cosmopolitan, of course. So they are a part of the big October issue of that magazine.
