CIRLS FAIL ON N0 EADURANCE FLGHT Descend After Refueling Fail- vre. but Set Record for Women—To Try Again. By the Associated Prer.. LOS ANGELES, November 29.—The second attempt of Bobbie Trout of Los | Angeles and Elinor Smith of New York to establish a new record for endurance | flight here failed today, when lack of fuel forced them to land their plane at | 3:45 am. They had been in the air 42 hours and 5 minutes. | It was their second attempt within l; weck to better the record of 420 hours, | 21 minutes, 58 seconds held by Dllei Jackson and Forest O'Brine of St., Louis. i Record for Women. ‘The 42 hours and 5 minutes is a rec- ord for women, however, as they are the | first women flyers to make a refueling | end. ance flight. ; The girl fiyers made a perfect landing and said they were feeling fine after two days and nearly two nights in the air. Both expressed keen disappoint- | ment because of their inability to re- plenish their gasoline supply before dark last night. “The breaks have all been against us,” Miss Trout said, “and, although we are disappointed, we are not dis- couraged. Our plane performed splen- didly, and we're both feeling flnl.“ We most certainly expect to try again.’ Motor to Be Overhauled. Flight officials announced tHat the motor of the endurance plane would be given an overhauling today, and that the present plans are for the girls to take off tomorrow for a third attempt to set a record. An attempt to refuel shortly before dark last night was balked when the Carrier Pigeon, refueling plane, devel- oped trouble and landed precipitately in a ploughed field. Its engine was dam- aged beyond repair. Attempts to refuel in the dark with an emergency plane were considered too hazardous, and offi- clals ordered the girls to land if their gasoline supply gave out before dawn. A previous flight started Monday morning came to grief sfter 18 hours and | 26 minutes in the air, when a miscalcu- jation resulted in their fuel tanks be- coming depleted during the night and an effort to refuel in darkness failed.

STATE INTERVENTION MAY BE EXTENDED Argentine Government Considers Taking Hand in Four More Divisions of Nation. By Cable to The Star. BUENOS AIRES, November 29.— Federal Interventions, which have been ! enforced In the provinces of San Juan and Mendoza for more than a yegr, are about to be extended to the provinces of Santa Fe and Corrientes, it was au- thoritatively reported yesterday. The provinces of Entre Rios and San Luis are also threatened with temporary loss of their autonomous status. President Hipolito Irigoyen today con- ferred with Dr. Lisandro Salas, who will head the commission charged with re- organizing the government of Santa Fe Province, while the appointment of a commission to reorganize Corrientes is ' expected momentarily. Federal intervention in Santa Fe and Corrientes was ordered by presidential decree when the Senate, which had pre- viously approved the San Juan and Mendoza interventions, refused to ap- prove a bill ordering suspension of local governments in Santa Fe and Corri- entes. Public opinion in the provinces con- cerned is said to be bitterly opposed to an intervention, but national public opinion is apathetic in the matter, al- though generally accounted none too fa- vorably disposed toward the federal government’s action. While terms of the presidential de- cree ordering the interventions are not generally known, it is presumed the federal government will intervene com- pletely, replacing the entire state gov- ernments until new elections are held or President Irigoyen considers the emergency over. A Senate committee is now investi- gating conditions in the intervened Mendoza and San Juan Provinces to determine whether the federal govern- ment is justified in maintaining its in- tervention in those districts. The min- ister of interior has been ordered to ap- pear before the Senate at an early date to answer questions regarding recent disturbances in these provinces.
