Billings said today they would continue their fight for liberty. The California Supreme Court yester- day presented to Gov. C.

He sald the testimony of Frank C. Oxman, Durkee, Oreg., cattleman, was false, as it had been proved he was asleep at Woodland at the time of the fatal explosion. Billings said he was considering two future lines of action, one habeas corpus proceedings, leading perhaps to the United States Supreme Court. Associated With Plotters. The court’s decision pointed out Billings and Mooney were associated with a San Francisco group engaged in plotiing against law and order.

The glory of the Capital's July the Fourth faded today under a trailing cloud of holiday accidents in and near the city which cost three lives, sent more than threescore celebrants to hos- pitals or physiclans and led to the ar- rest of 15 persons for shooting fire- works. There were two deaths in the water, one automobile fatality and numerous casualties of varying gravity resulting from ultimely explosion of fireworks— some of the latter of “bootleg” variety. A perverted sense of “humor” induced several alleged practical jokesters to toss, lighted firecrackers into passing auto- mobiles or at pedestrians, injuring a 7-month-old baby and a 10-year-old | boy.

By the Associated Press. ORANGE, Va., July 5.—President Hoover had the chance today to talk about the Republican national chair- manship with Senator Fess, who has | been mentioned prominently as a pos- sible successor to Claudius Huston. The Ohioan arrived at the Presiden- tial lodge on the Rapidan while the day was young. His visit was coinci- dent with widespread reports that Mr. Hoover is to take a hand shortly in the controversy over the continuation of Huston in office. Five days from now the national committee officers are to meet, Hoover Takes Ride. Another guest at the camp over the week end is Walter Newton, political secretary to the President. Shortly after breakfast today the Chief Executive went horseback riding with Capt. Joel T. Boone, White House physician, the other members of the party either hiking or remaining at camp. All were tired after the strain of the closing days of Congress and had little desire to do anything other than rest. Mrs. Hoover was said to have con- tinued the steady improvement she has made since coming to the Jodge, but she was still unable to go horseback riding, a sport she enjoys thoroughly.

HIGHER POLICE PAY STATUS IS PUZZLE Failure to Complete Resolu- tion on Funds Makes Early Payments Problem. In the closing hours of the sessian Just ended Congress, it developed today, did not succeed in putting the finishing touches on a joint resolution intended to make the current appropriation for the Police and Fire Departments avail- able to pay the increased salary for policemen and firemen recently author- ized by separate law. The bill authorizing the salary in- creases was signed by President Hoover several days ago and is a law, but the fact that the subsequent resolution | relating to the avallability of funds was | not completed gave rise today to specu- | lation as to whether it will be possible to pay the increase during the recess of Congress. Has to Bear Signatures. The joint resolution passed the Senate |in the final hour of the session Thurs- | day night and had previously passed the | House. Before a measure goes to the President for his signature, however, it has to be signed by the presiding officers of the House and Senate, After the Senate passed the resolu- tion Thursday night it was dispatched back to the House to be signed by the presiding officer there, but, so far as could be learned today, it did not get through these last stages in time to be | signed by the presiding officers at both ends of the Capitol. If it had reached the President, he would have had 10 days in which to sign it, but it did not leave the Capitol. Maj. Henry G. Pratt, superintendent of police, and Maj. Daniel J. Donovan, auditor and budget officer, were un- aware of the status of the salary in- creases because of the lack of signa- tures on the resolution authorizing the additional appropriations necessary to put them into effect. Both informally expressed the opinion, however, that some plan probably could be devised to grant the increases until Congress reconvenes in December and the appro- priation authorized either in a defi- ciency bill or by special legislation. Intention Is Clear, Since the new salary law is on the statute books, and both the Senate and House passed the resolution authorizing the appropriation to put it into effect, it was pointed out there is no doubt that Congress clearly intended for the police and firemen to have the in- creased salaries effective July 1. Hence, it, is believed at the District Building | that & plan can be worked out to pay the new wage scale. | " "Maj. Donovan declared he wanted to make a thorough study of the situation, | however, before expressing a definite | opinion.” He has been confined to his bed on account of illness for the last 10 days and was unable to keep in | close touch with the legislative develop- ments in the closing days of Congress. | WORLD BANK STATEMENT | First Report Lists $210,569,853 in Assets and Liabilities.

Hunter Brothers Left With No Alternative But to Return to Earth, BY FIVE AND HALF DAYS Crowd and Ground Aides Surprised by Sudden Termination of Long Test. By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, July 5.—The longest sus- tained airplane flight in the world's history has ended. The finish came at 5.21:30 (Central standard time) *last night. John and Kenneth Hunter, who rose from the plough to the plane, landed in the Fourth of July twilight at Sky Harbor Alrport with a world refueling en- durance record of 553 hours, 41 minutes and 38 seconds blazoned on the wings of their City of Chicago. The end was as unexpected as the beginning 23 days ago was inauspicious, A clogged filter stopped the oil flow, the motor was seared from lack of lubrication, a hurried landing was made and the old record of 420:21:30 was left 133 hours and 20 minutes behind, Oil Screen Was Clogged. Just what happened to the City of Chicago's motor was explained today by motor experts. “The oil screen had clogged,” said one. “Department of Commerce regula= tlons require that this screen be Laken out and_thoroughly cleaned every 20 ;MD):H. llrmsll ullwuru. hhldbrel:t been e, only cleaning had been with the end of a kn‘lfe. i “Yesterday it became obvious that the screen ‘had to be taken out and cleaned, which meant, of course, that the oil would spurt out under 80 pounds Dressure. In preliminary tests John and Kenneth Hunter had shown us that they could do this with the motor run- ning by going up high and shutting down the motor, letting the plane slowly lose altitude. But when Kenneth tried it they did not have enough altitude and the oil spurted out so fast when he took out the screen that there was nothing to do but land. They were so low they could not throttle down the motor without crashing.” Holiday thousands who had jammed the alrport since early day floundered in the suddenness of the descent.
