The first flash was clicked off luckily be- | fore bedlam broke loose. Then their wire set-ups were torn asunder in the eonfusion, and it was several minutes before the wires could be repaired and the story of a new record telegraphed to waiting editors and the world It was fully 10 minutes before the fiyers could escape into the hangar of- | fice. There they had their first chance to relax—if relaxation could be had midst the flashlight flares and report- ers’ questions. T rest was brief.

Disappointment at Landing. Kenneth showed the disappointment of the forced landing. but admitted it would have been too perilous to stay up IJonger. “We had hoped to keep on until to- morrow.” he said, “but when the oil screen became clogged and the gauge quit, the only thing to do was to come down.” “The little old motor sure did more than we expected,” said brother Jchn, “and except for the oil trouble was just as sound when we came down as when we went up.” It was the clogged filter that sent the brothers low over the field shortly before their descent, thinking they were short of oil and urging an immediate contact. The Big Ben went aloft at once, oil was let down, poured into the line, but it spurted on the fiyers. The motor was near the burning point and the plane did not have altitude encugh to_permit tinkering with the filter. Fearing a crack-up, the flyers de- eided to land Both brothers were dead for sleep and showed it: reporters had to repeat questions several times; but they ‘walked, Has Made No Plans. “We didn't have a chance to think about how we felt in the air,” John said. “The radio was our only recrea- tion. ‘Tomorrow at noon, Il be walk- ing, but I have no other plans until I get a good night's sleep and see how it feels to have my feet on tr again.” But the good night's sleep didn’t begin early. Long after midnight—bathed, barbered and dressed in comfort again. the brothers weré still up at a banquet rushed on them by airport and airlines officials, sponscrs of the flight and friends John exphained that in the next flight they make, a duel oil screen will be in- stailed to prevent accidents, as that o yesterday. He added that if their record is broken and another attempt by them 35 made, brothers Walter and Albert may be the endurance crew and he and Kenneth the refueling pilots.

Exhibit Home IREVERENCE ASKED | BY CURTISINTALK Vice President Speaks of Prohibition Asking Sup- port of Laws. B the Associated Press. OCEAN CITY, N. J. July 5.—A call for “reverence” and obedience to the Constitution and “all its articles and amendments” was issued here yester- day by Vice President Curtis. Speaking i this wet State before a gathering of members of the Methodist Episcopal Church, the Vice President took note of the prohibition issue and called for strict enforcement of all laws. “The _Constitution of the United States” he asserted. “Is the keystone of our national strength, our pride in the hour of prosperity, our consolation and rallying point under every pressure of adversity, and whoever seriously wishes to preserve our Constitution in its full purity and vigor must of necessity wish to have all its articles and amendments | honestly obeyed and faithfully en- forced.” Refers to Morrow. Mr. Curtis mentioned the name of | Dwight W. Morrow, who was recently | nominated for the Senate by New Jersey Republicans on a wet platform, calling for repeal of the eighteenth amend- ment. He did so where he spoke of Col. Charles Lindbergh, “son-in-law of a distinguished citizen of your State, Dwight W. Morrow." “What we need now more than ever,” the Vice President told the Methodist assemblage, “is reverence for the Con- titution and respect for the courts of { our country. A regard for our Constitu- tion, our laws and our courts and a proper respect for the rights of our people is just as important today as it has been at any time in our history. It is not pleasing to notice the wave that is sweeping over the country which disregards law and order and the Con- stitution and substitutes man’s desires and_weakens opinion of law. “To_determine the extent to which legislation is beneficial and beyond which it 1s hurtful, is the province of statesmanship. Good laws—that s, good statesmanship—are the result of the application of common sense and sound judgment to immutable princi- ples. While people may differ as to the wisdom of enactment of a particular | plece of legislation or as to the amend- | ing the Constitution in regard there- to, it is impossible to ignore the Con- stitution and unthinkable to evade ft by an administrative policy, either | National or State.” “Trealy Points to Peace.” Mr. Curtis also referred to the Lon- don naval treaty and asserted that this conference, along with the Washing- ton Naval Conference of 1921, the re- cent evacuation of the Rhineland, the Kellogg pact and the Locarno treaty | “all point toward permanent peace.” “That it may come,” he added, “is the passionate and lasting desire of the people of the civilized world.” Soviet Russia sent 144 tons of cot- | ton textiles to Lithuania last year. sup- planting those previously supplied by Poland and Estonia. ) THESE HOT DAYS | .

IMPRESSED BY INDEPENDENCE DAY ORATORY, JUDGE FREES PRISONER Accused Quotes Patrick Henry’s Famous Phrase, Adding “But I Ain’t Asking for Death.” Alfred H. Rocknilt, arrested for dis-| orderly conduct, made so powerful an “Independence day” speech in Police Court yesterday Schuldt gave him freedom. “This is the day the people of the country were given their freedom and you are the only one who can give me mine,” Rocknilt told his honor. When first brought before the judge. Rocknilt was as meek as any other prisoner, but the judge gave him an idea and brought forth the burst of oratory when he inquired of the ar- ed one “if he knew what day this i and “do you know why Patrick Henry was famous?” “Give me liberty or give me death That’s what he is famous for,” the pri- soner shouted, “but I ain’t asking for death.” that Judge Gus A. “It seems,” said Judge Schuldt, “that 1 will have to take your personal hona after such a plea.
