By the Associated Press. OLD ORCHARD, Me., June 13. —The Yellow Bird, Paris bound, | had been unreported for more than three hours at 2:30 o'clock this afternoon. No fears were ex- pressed for its safety, however, as when it passed over Matinicus Rock Light, 20 miles off the coast at Rockland, it was heading East, which would carry it away from the coast and out of sight of land. | The plane covered the distance to | Matinicus, approximately 80 miles, ‘n in a little more than an hour. | The lightkeeper at Matinicus | Rock, which is about 80 miles | east along the Maine Coast from Old Orchard, reported that the bright yellow plane passed over at llzlg am. (Eastern daylight time) just 1 hour and 5 minutes after it took to the air here. The plane was then about 1,000 feet high and flying very fast. While the Paris-bound planc was off to a good start, the Green Flash, which Roger Q. Willilams and Lewis A. Yancey planned to fly to Rome, was smashed on the | beach. Both the flyers escaped | injury as the plane nosed over, | breaking its propeller and left wing and causing other serious damage. % Jean Assolant, youthful French pilot, ‘who was married but three days ago, got the big Bernard plane off the beagh M easv fashion. With him were Armeno Lottl Jr. sponsor and radio operator, and Rene Le Fevre, navigator. Stowaway Reported Aboard. Tt was reported that they had an un- invited guest, a youth who stowed away while the motor was being warmed up. No confirmation could be obtained. Lotti had told Coast Guards that he would not broadcast until he was 1,000 miles out to sea, which would probably be some time tonight. Approximately an hour behind the Yellow Bird & Coast Guard Amphibian, iloted by Lieut. L. M. Melka, was fol- owing the same cCourse as a precau- tionary measure, Alternate Courses Mapped. The French fiyers had mapped two alternative courses to Paris, the cholce depending upon weather conditions. They planned to touch the tip of Cape Sable and then fly to the *‘corner,” & junction of lanes about 1,000 miles east southeast of Old Orchard. Here the Frenchmen's two routes diverged, one going northeast to Lati- | tude 47. longitude 29, thence east to St. Nazaire and to Paris; the other| east southeast to the Island of Fayal,| Azores; east to the Northern coast of Portugal and thence northeast to Paris. By the northern route the airmen would fly approximately-3,700 miles, by the southern about 4,300 miles. Y Nearly Duplicates Accident. The Green Flash nearly duplicate its accident of two weeks ago. At that | time one of the wheels dropped into soft sand and caused it to ground-loop, but only the wheel and a few stay wires were damaged. The plane was traveling at a much higher rate of speed today and it was believed the damage would be more serious. One-half of the propeller was broken when the Green Flash nosed over, the left wing strut was broken and the landing gear smashed Yancey sald the right wheel let go | beneath them and the ship twisted to i the right at that moment and centered | over, part of the fuselage near assemblage was badly dented and the left wing torn. The cowling over the motor also was badly dented. Gasoline leaked from the tanks and spread about the ground and the throng about the plane was pushed | back for fear some one might toss a | lighted cigarette or match on the sand | and ignite the fuel. The crash of the Green Flash took place about a mile from the start and the wheels were still in the sands al- though they had bounced up for an instant several times. Williams was | at the controls. Closes Throttle Quickly. ‘The tail was in the air, Williams | said. when he felt the wheels spread | under him, and the plane swerved to the left. He closed the throttle quickly and pulled the plane to the right and she nosed over, the propeller digging into the sand and the plane whirling_about. The Coast Guard amphibian piloted by Lieut. L. M. Malka, which accom panied the Yellow Bird at the start, returned above the beach 40 minutes later. Malka came back when he was in- formed by radio that the American lane had crashed. He circled, the geu:h and reported by radio as a _precautionary measure he _would (Continued on Page 2, Column 5.) SENDS NOTE OF REGRET.

The Capital Traction Co. today filed with the Public Utilities Commission its long-expected request for an in- crease in the rates of fare on its lines. It asked for a cash fare of 10 cents per passenger, with four tokens for 30 cents. This will be accompanied by free transfers between street car lines and “feeder” bus lines to passengers paying the 10-cent fare. The company asked that the rate of fare granted to it be made uniform in the District, which would mean that | the Washington Rallway & Electric Co. | fare would be made the same as the Capital Traction. | Token “Investment” Reduced. The present rates, in effect since 1922, are 8 cents cash, or six tokens for 40 cents, The increase, therefore, to those Who pay the cash fare will be | 2 cents per ride and to those Who use | tokens, five-sixths of a cent. At the| same time, the cash investment re- quired for tokens will be decreased 10 cents. The request for the higher fares was filed @ year almost to the day since the last similar request. On June 14, 1928, the company asked for either the rate now sought or a straight 8-cent cash fare with no tokens.

By the Associated Press. | MEXICO CITY, June 13.—-Advlces. from Washingtén indicating that actual | agreement had been reached here on | the long-standing Mexican religious | controversy, and that communications asking papal sanction to the agreement had been forwarded to Rome, created a sensation today. No official announcement was forth- | coming, but there was reason to be-| lieve that yesterday's meeting of Presi- dent Emilio Portes Gil and Roman Catholic prelates merely climaxed long ‘months of prior negotations, in which the basis for settlement had been reached. In well informed quarters here it was said this basis was mutual consent for = broad interpretation of the country's religious laws, stringent enforcement of order withdrawing priests from '.hk: churches. Such, it was pointed out.K would involve concessions by both the | Mexican ernment and church, | without either giving in unduly. Quick Action Expected. The same well-informed source said | the Vatican probably would act quickly | end satisfactorily on the terms of the agreement. It was pointed out as ex- tremely unlikely his holiness would de- | lay o{ permanently pigeon-hole the | matter, as it was understood hlpp!n!dl on two previous occasions when nego- tiations looking to settlement came to a head. The public manner in which the present negotiations have been conduct- ed and the very definite affront undue postponement might offer to the Mex- | ican government were mentioned as reasons for this belief.

Copley, publisher of California and Illinois newspapers, in a statement submitted to the Federal Trade Com- mission today; challenged Senator Nor- ris of Nebraska to “repeat on the street |as facts” his charges in Congress that he was connected with public power utility interests. Chairman McCulloch of the commis~ sion refused to let Copley either read the statement on the witness stand or to place it in the record.

He testified hg had owned in April, 1928. $7.470.600 worth of utilities |stocks, “which later had been sold | through a financing syndicate which he | had charged with the task of disposing of his utility heldings. In reply to | questions by Robert E. Healy, chief| commission counsel, Copley testified that he was “in favor of’ the con-. struction of the Boulder Dam.

If he will state this outside of the privileged chamber of the Senate, I will promptly bring him before a court of justice.” If the commission or Senator Norris did not think his denial of the chaiges was true, Copley declared, “I dare you or him to indict me.” He added that he 1' | | Federal court of justice to have this matter settled once and for all time.” Names Rival.

BIG VICTORY IS EXPECTED TO SETTLE CONTROVERSY Democrats Lining Up With Admin- istration Outnumber Republicans Who Bolted. The House by a vote of 250 to 113 today turned down the deben- ture clause of the farm relief bill. The action in the House sustains President Hoover in his stand against the debenture. The House sent the farm bill back to conference with instruc- tions to stand out against the debenture clause. It is expected that the overwhelming vote in the House against debenture will put an enlt!i !tob .tdle controversy which has delayed the passage of the farm relief bill. The supporters of the debenture in the Senate already have an- nounced that if the House voted down debenture they would no longer hold up final action on the farm bill. They plan to make another drive, however, to insert debenture in the tariff bill. More Democrats voted in favor of the motion to instruct the House conferees to hold out against debenture than Republicans voted against the motion. Supported by 34 Democrats. Thirty-four Democrats voted in support of the motion and only 13 Republicans voted against it. Assertions made in the Senate that many Republicans in the House would vote for debenture if it was brought to a direct vote proved incorrect. As soon as the House assembled today Representatives Haugen of Towa, chairman of the House committee on agriculture, moved to take the farm bill from the Speaker’s table, to insist further on its disagreement to the Senate amendments and agree to a further con- ference asked by the Senate. The veteran chairman announced that he would not take up the time of the House to discuss the debenture plan. He said the issue was familiar to all members of the House. He immediately moved the previous question on his motion, and it was agreed to by a viva-voce vote. The majority leader, Representative Tilson, submitted a resoln- tion instructing the managers of the House on the conference com- mittee to strike out Senate amendment 10, which is the debenture clause. He said he believed this was the quickest way for the House to express its sentiment directly on the debenture clause. ‘Without further debate the roll was called and a resolution was adopted. When the result of the vote was announced loud heard on the Republican side, of the House. R The roll call was taken in an atmosphere of intense interest. The opponents of debenture were confident they would win, but there was a certain amount of spex would be on this issue. KNG RN TARFE MOVE BEATEY, 117 Senate Finance Committee Votes Against Proposal to Limit Revision. By the Assoclated Press. The Senate finance committee today voted down a motion by Senator King, Democrat, of Utah, that the committee confine its tariff revision to agricultural products. The vote, 11 to 7, against the motion, was strictly along party lines. After rejecting the King motion, the committee received a proposal that agricultural products be placed on an ad valorem or percentage basis of tariff protection instead of s, It was presented by Chester H. Gray, legislative representative of the Ameri- can Farm Bureau Federation, who said his recommendation represented a “complete Teversal of policy” on the part of agriculture as, he argued, ad valorem duties had worked advantage- ously for other industries and he saw no reason why it should not be used for farm products. Fight Lines Laid Yesterday. ‘The lines for the tariff contest were laid yesterday in the Senate. Senator | Borah of Idaho, demanded that the| tariff revision be confined to agricul- | ture. Senator Watson of Indiana, the | Republican leader, declared for as gen- | eral a revision as was proposed by the | House. President Hoover recommended “lim- ited” revision. He is going to have to make a choice, apparently, between the Watson and Borah views, and Wat- son i8 the party leader and spokesman in_the Senate.
