San Tranciscv, wept. 1 (P—The navy seaplane P.. No. 1, at- tempting a non-stop flight from San I'rancisco to Hawail, had completed half of its journey of 2,100 nauticat miles between b and 6 o'clock this morning. Up to that time the plane had made an aviyage speed of slightly more than T)\nautical miles, or a fraction under\{z land miles, an hour. Early todMy it was exceeding the speed it had maintained earlier in its flight, and was making up the time it had been behind its schedule. When the plane passed over the destroyer Corry, 600 miles from the Golden Gate, it was more than an hour behind its schedule, By the time it passed the destroyer Meyer, 500 miles from the lifornia coast it had reduced this to fifty minutes. The report that the aircraft had passed the destroyer Doyen and was speeding toward the airship tender Langley, came from the Doyan 4 at 4:45 o'clock, thirteen hours and 37 minutes after the plane had left Point Bonita, at the entrance to San Francisco Bay, figured as the official point of departure. A few minutes after Rear Admiral Willlam Moffatt, chief of the naval aeronautical bureau, and Captain 8. E. Moses, flight project commander, had ordered the minesweeper Gan- nett, with its equipment for hoisting the plane from the water, to hasten from this port to the point where the P.N.-9 No. 3 was forced down about four hours and a half after the start, word was received from the destroyer William Jones, advised Admiral Moffatt that he was making seven knots an hour with the plane and was directed to proceed slowly toward San Francisco, while the Gannett continued toward him.

It wa reiterated that the admin- Istration \ ves not intend to take any hand in thy controversy, but will do what it can to get anthracite substi- tutes for the public at fair prices. Anxiety on the part of the public over a fuel supply, in the president's opinion, would simply have the ef- fect of bringing on a shortage, through excessive purchases, and undoubtedly an ifcrease in prices, It was stated at White Court that President Coolidge still stands on his recommendation to congress, based on the findings of the coal commission, that the president should have authority in the event | of a threatened shutdown of coal mines to appoint a commission with power to determine the facts and present them to the public The president considers this the | major point in the program which | he laid down for dealing with the coal industry and it was indicated that undoubtedly he would again recommend something of this nature at the December session’of congress, Hazleton, Pa., Sept. 1 (A—Clear, cool September weather and the prospect of a good rest after two vears of steady work helped to ease any anxlety mine workers in this region may have felt over the shut- down of the anthracite mines. The streets of the city were alive with mine workers during the day and ithe principal thoroughfares had a s hollday aspect. Departure of miners to other sec- tions of the country and in some |cases to Europe on saved-up earn- ings began today, not to return until collieries whistles blow again. At some mines more engineers and fire-mcn have beerp lald off than in | previous suspensions. One of the |reasons was that numerous pumps {are operated by electric power neces- |sitating only the services of the regular pump runners.
