NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 14, 1923. MRS. SPERRY HOPEFUL THE ROTHENBERG.CASE ~ RAROADCHIEE TO ATTRACT TOURIST Gondition of Corporation Makes New Move a Necessity Seattle, Wash., Dec. 14.—The Alas- ka Railroad, built by the government at a cost of $56,000,000 and thus far operated at a deficit, will attract pa- tronage by luring tourists who are potential settlers and investors, Lee H. Landis, the new manager of the line, said when he was here recently on his way north to assume his duties. Mr. Landis formerly was industrial commissioner of the Western Pacific railroad, and in that position his work was to establish colonists and indus- tries along the right-of-way, as the other transcontinental lines have done. He hopes to do the same thing in Alaska. “We are going to develop not only industrial tonnage,” explained Mr, Landis, “but intend to make the tour- ist pay new revenue for the railroad. “We should have feeder lines for the railroad, especially a branch into Mount McKinley National park. Ho- tels and other accommodations for tourists should be provided at Curry Station, the entrance to the park. Additional sleeping cars will be put on to care for the tourist travel. “Alaska, an undeveloped country, has large resources, but needs money and man to develop them. This means, in a nutshell, more popula- tion. The best way to get permanent settlers is, I believe, to advertise the opportunities the territory offers, and there is no better way to advertise any country than to get people to go and look at it. There is no question about the scenic attractions of Alaska, but new industries must bhe en- couraged and developed. Coal and metal mining must be increased.” PROAR Immigration Conference Upset By Birth Control Address New York, Dec, 14.—Charges that the national immigration conference’s two-day session had been given over to a preponderant exposition of the views of interests moved by selfish motives were made at today's meeting by Mrs, William Cumming Story, of New York, former president-general of the Daughters of the Amerlcan Revolution, The meeting was thrown into an uproar when Mrs, May Ware Dennett director of the voluntary parenthood league, attempted to speak on birth control as & means of solving the im- migration problem. Protesting cries came from the floor and conference Chairman Peter J, Brady ordered Mrs, Dennett from the platform. She pro. tested, but withdrew as the delegates applauded the ruling, IMPROVES RAILROADS, Poland Fast Becomes Organized With Regards Transportation, Warsaw, Dec. 14.-—Poland today has a railroad organization of its own, created since the war, and made up of three old systems, the Rus- sian, the Austrian and the German, Colonel A. B, Barber, an American, has been the technical adviser of the government In this work, which has presented many difficulties, The financial burden is still heavy, and there is a deficit. Some people suggest private ownership, but to this the government is opposed, It will at once reduce the number of em- ployes and increase rates, SPECIAL NOTICE Charity whist to be given by Ladies’ Auxiliary to the A.

Dec. 14.—Mrs. Winifred Sperry refuses to believe that her husband, Lawrence B. Sperry the aviator, has been drowned in the English channel, where his wrecked plane was found yesterday. “Mr. Sperry has been through so many things that I don't believe any- thing serious has happened to him,” she said today at her home. "I be- lieve if anything had happened, I would have had some presentiment of it. “If, after his plane fell into the water, he came to some little vil- lage, news of him would not reach London until after the story of the accident had arrived. 1 feel that he is safe somewhere.” New York, Dec. 14.—Belief that Lawrence B. Sperry, American avi- ator whose plane was found in the English channel, might have swum jashore, was expressed today by his friends at the Brooklyn plant of the Sperry Gyroscope company, owned by his father. “Lawrence was always prepared and never took chances,” said C. O. Jobson. “He was a strong swimmer and had trained in aquatic sports for just such an emergency.” Friends pointed out that the find- ing of Sperry's jacket in the water indicated he had discarded it so that his movements in the water would not be impeded. New York, Dec. 14,—The tiny air- plane in which Lawrence B. Sperry is believed to have fallen to his death in the English channel car- ried only enough gasoline for a flight of two and one-half hours. One of the smallest machines ever built, it had a wing spread of 20 | feet, 4 inches; was 181, feet long and 7 feet high. The weight of the plane, empty, was only 581 pounds, and with its maximum load, 1011 pounds. The three cylinder, 60-horsepower | motor had a maximum speed capacity |of 80 miles an hour and a low speed of 356 miles an hour.
