LINDY N SAN JUAN HALF HOUR EARLY Crew of Mail Inauguration Plane Changed for Hop to South America. By the Associated Press, SAN JUAN, Porto Rico, September 21.—Bettering his schedule by more than half an hour for the second time today, Col. Charles A. Lindbergh com- pleted the second day of his 7,000-mile flight to extend the United States Mail to Dutch Guiana, when he landed here at 3:31 o'clock this afternoon. Leaving Santo Domingo at 1:04 p.m., the flying colonel made the 250-air miles to San Juan in 2 hours 27 min- utes, just 33 minutes under schedule. On his morning flight from Santiago De Cuba to Port Au Prince Col. Lind- bergh had bettered the time for the 289-mile jaunt by 34 minutes against varying headwinds. Large Welcome Party. A large welcome party was on hand to greet the plane when it swooped D. C, SEPTEMBER [20ACTS ENGAGED " FOR SHRINE CIRCLS Committees Named to Ar- range Celebration to B Given by Almas Temple.

W. U. President Makes Plea to Center Work on High Ideals. e In a plea for a high devotion to | scholarship and research, Dr. Cloyd Heck Marvin, president of George ‘Washington University, Friday night de- clared in his first address of the 1929-30 academic year to his faculty that the intellectual power of an educational in- stitution is not to be measured by its material facilities. “The great creative work of the world has not been accomplished in elabo- rately equipped laboratories,” Dr. Mar- vin pointed out. “Remensen did his work that was outstanding in a remod- eled kitchen where he might have a sink; Rolland made his great discov- eries in physics in what once was a bedroom; the fine creations of Agassiz, with their great results for biology in this country, saw their birth in a barn on one of the islands off the Massa- chusetts coast. it down to a perfect landing on the Pan- | American Field at San Juan. Col.| Lindbergh and his party will spend the | night here and leave in the morning| for their sweep around the Caribbean circle, following the Windward and| Leeward Islands on his route to Para- maribo, Dutch Guiana. ! He will exchange his speedy tri-! motored land plane here for an am- phibian, which will be used throughout | the remainder of the flight. | Col. Lindbergh and party made a| half hour’s visit at Santo Domingo. The | same enthusiastic reception accorded | the colonel at all_his stops in the is- | lands of the West Indies was given here. A delegation was on hand at the flying | fleld to represent President Horacio ‘Vasquer. E. Young, the American Minister, was among diplomatic officlals pres- ent. In contrast with yesterday, when the party had luncheon in flight be- tween Havana and Camaguey, they lunched there in tents at the field be- fore beginning the last leg of today's Journey, which ended at San Juan. President Is Host. At Port au Prince, capital city of the republic of Haiti, President Louis Borno was host at a brief reception in the presidential palace. to which the col- onel and his party were whisked in au- tomobiles through colorful crowds, everywhere glad to get a glimpse of Lindbergh’s bride, the former Anne Morrow, the people have showered him with flowers, She has enjoyed the trip immensely, spending her time while in the air with s‘gh!s:cin? and a diary which is rapidly being filled. Col. and Mrs. Lindbergh weres wel- comed to Porto Rico personally by Gov. Horace M. Towner and other govern- ment officials. The Colonel and his wife were taken direct to the governor's palace, where they will be overnight guests, No functions were planned. Mrs. Lindbergh expressed much en- thusiasm over the trip, saying it had “been one of the most wonderful sights” she had ever seen. Off Again Tomorrow. The journey will be resumed at 7 am. tomorrow. Mrs. Lindbergh will make the flight with her husband. Other passengers will be Juan T. Trippe, president of Pan-American Airways, and Mrs. Trippe. They wil pay courtesy calls to the various Latin American governments before the ve- | turn to Miami, Charles Lorber will go as co-pilot | with Lindbergh on the flight to South America, the entire crew with the ex- ception of the colonel being changed here. A radio operator will be along to keep the plane in constant com- munications with the Pan-Americas network of radio stations, receiving weather reports and transmitting the flight_position. As he wings his way over the south- erly West Indles, Lindbergh will make regular first flight air mail stops at St. Thomas, Virgin Islands; St. John, Antigua; Port Castries, St. Lucia, and port of Spain, Trinidad. He will stop overnight on the British possession just off the coast of South America and| proceed to Paramaribo the next day. 600-Mile Flight. The distance from_ here to Port of | Spain is 704 miles. Lindbergh expects | to arrive there at 6 o'clock tomorrow | afternoon. | Many beautiful scenes were witnessed | by the passengers togay as the plane flew over the Island of Haiti and across the northern shore of Porto Rico to this city. In the Republic of Haiti, the| Lindberghs saw sparsely populated and mountainous country after leaving Port Au Prince, the first stop after taking off from Santiago de Cuba. A great sunken salt lake, lying 225 feet below sea level, was seen from an altitude of | 1500 feet. Many wild horses were; sighted in the countryside, as the plane | passed over the Dominican Republic toward Santo Domingo. Along the Dominican coast were geyser-like spouts of water caused by the waves dashing against a shore of limestone rock fissures. Hall Caine's Son as M. P.

URAY, Va., September 21.—A reso- lution passed recently by the Luray authorizing the street commissioner t» cut down trees along the streets in certain sections of the }mwn has aroused a wave of protest among residents which threatens to lead to_legal complications. . | Many of the citizens along the streets have declared that their pror erties will be damaged thousands <! dollars, with no chance of being rr munerated. Others have decried th- cutting as marring the beauty of the town. Several years ago large shade trees along Luray’s western main street were cut down or pulled up to permit street improvements, thereby destroying the shaded beauty of that section. At that time a storm of p-otest had no effect and no suits resulted. AUTOMOBILE, LIABILITY, FIRE, BURGLARY AND TORNADO INSURANCE THOS. E. JARRELL CO. Rev. Raphael M.
