G IPORTAT ** Plane Transmission New York, July 1 P — Positive ‘warning of danger to the mono- :plsne America was recelved in France when its automatic radio transmitter became silent. True to plans of Commander Byrd, the cessation of the staccato dot and | dashes in the storm over France throughout last night, spread the alarm and indicated the approxi-| mate arca where search was car- ried on. In the 1,900 mile jump through the fog walls and headwinds of the | stormy north Atlantic the auto- matic - transmitter kept up its in- ‘termittent flashes, notifying the .world that the craft was carrying .on. Even in part of the storm the radlo was kept working. New records in long distance airplane communication by radio established by the America were halled today as the safety guaran- tee in trans-Atlantic flights of the future. As Commander Byrd kept an anxious world informed of his progress and attracted aid by his crippled radio, so future fliers can establish constant protection for -themselves When they become iso- lated in long jumps, authorities said. The navy department has been advised that the transmitter on the America, operating on 690 meters, established a 1,000 mile daylight range in communicating with its hangar at Roosevelt fleld, and a range of 1,600 miles in reaching the station of the Radio Corpora- tion of America at Chatham, Mass, This radius was fully up to the se- cret expectations of Commander Byrd, authorities said. The result | accomplished by the America is, the most astounding example of the breakdown of individual isolation in the history of communication, said Dr. Alfred N. Goldsmith, chief broadcasting engineer of the Radio Corporation of America. “There is inspiration in the thought that our men in the wil- deéness of fog high over the center of the Atlantic ocean, were in closer | touch with the population of two | continents than if they had been standing at the business cross- is to recelve a gold medal, similar to the jublies medals which will be given to King George, the Prince of ‘Wales and Viscount Willingdon. Clemency toward all prisoners serving a definite sentence will be given by the government. This ac- tion will benefit about 8,000 prison- ers and will cut a month from each year of sentence. Large Part of World Wears American Hose Washington, July 1.—(P—An in- creasingly large and, presumably, important part of the world’s popu- lation is wearing American hosiery. Styles and colors favored in the United States are taking the fancy of more and more feminine pur- chaser abroad. The popularity of the American exports, the Com- merce Department learns, is in- creasing throughout the world, ris- ing last year to a total of 6,956,737 dozen pairs valued at $22,111,259, Though it may seem incredible, 68 per cent of the hosiery exported was the cotton variety, as com- pared with 14 per cent made of silk. The cotton hose represented only 38 per cent of the total value, however, whereas the silk account- ed for 41 per cent. Break in Heat Wave in Middle West Promised Chicago, July 1 (®—A break in the record breaking heat wave which has held most of the nation in fts sweltering grip for 48 hours, claim- ing scores of lives, was the predic- tion of the weather bureau today. Thunderstorms will shatter the heat spell, the prognosticators an- nounced. Phoenix, Arfz., was again the hot spot of the nation yesterday, but it divided honors with Fresno, Cal. In both places maximum temperatures of 100 degrees prevalled. QUEER PROWLER USES CHLOROFORN Tries to Overpower His Victims This Way Fullerton, Cal.,, July 1 (®—A mys- terious prowler who has thus far vainly attempted to overpower in- tended victims by chloroform fumes injected into their sleeping rooms, today commanded the attention of Fullerton police, following an at- tack yesterday on Ralph Ince, film director., . The police, despite the fact that they were thoroughly investigating were prone to regard the case as cause for no great alarm. Reports of chloroform attacks on two others besides Ince, the officers believe, may bave been due to slight hys- teria of the victims. Ince was discovered in a dazed condition in his hotel room here shortly after midnight by two mem- bers of his film company who had dropped in for a chat before going to bed. Chloroform was believed to have been sprayed iInto the room through an open transom. The di- rector received no {ll effect from his experience and went to location with his company yesterday. Carl Bruesch, a chemical engineer who was a guest at the same hotel as Ince supported the theory that the fumes were those of chloroform and said that he saw a man running away from the hotel shortly after midnight. No motive for the chlor- oform attack has been found. READ HERALD CLASSIFIED ADS PRESIDENT GOMPLETING A REALLY QUIET WEEK Past Few Days Have Given Execu- tive Chance o Rest and Eajoy Himeelf. Rapld City, 8. D, - July 1 (P— President Coolldge is completing one of the quietest weeks he lhas spent since he entered the White House almost four years ago. ‘While he has driven each day to the executive office here, 33 miles from the state gdme lodge, there has been little more than the usual grist of routine business to demand his attention there. Callers have been very few. There have been no house guests. Mr. Cooldige entered into the #pirit of things in this dierent land enthusiastically, but he 's taking this opportunity of getting {n some rest. He still likes to make a dsily fishing trip and on these occasions he wears the broad rimmed “ten gallon” hat he donned shortly after reaching the Black Hills. He also wears this hat on his short walks about the lodge. Otherwise he has been aticking pret- ty close to th: summer residence. Newspapers are getting thelr usual clcse attention from tha president, and he is keeping informed also by special wires from Wasairgton and by mail. The motion picture films and news reels, which he particular- ly likes also are being shown about twice a week. QUITS KNITTING AT 105 Minneapolis (P—At the age of 105 “Grandma” Elizabeth Murphy has had to quit knitting mittens. Last vear she knitted 250 pair, but her eyesight is failing. She was born in Canada in 1822, TWO BIG ESTATES USED FOR BUSINESS Property ol “Throneless Kings” ‘ Now Becomes Gommon London (P—The “Kingdom of France” has been turned into a gravel pit. The “Royal Palace” of Portugal has become offices for a local street cleaning department. Such have been the recent fates of the two great Twickenham es- tates, one of which was owned by the late Duke of Orleans, banished pretender to the throne of France, and the pther by King Manuel, the exiled ruler of Portugal. A year ago bus conductors through this quiet suburb of London were able to point out the shaded lawns that comprised all that was left of the kingdoms of France and Portu- gal. Policemen on beat could indi- cate simply-clad passers-by who con- tained the blood of half the ruling houses of Europe in their veins. Now they have gone, and their memory is rapidly being erased. Following the death of the Duke of Orleans a year ago, Mansion House in Fullwell Park, where the bearded duke had lived among his coats of arms with all the grandeur of a king, has been sold to a land de- velopment company. Part of the estate has been converted into cricket flelds for the members of a club of retired telegraph and cable officials, Part has been turned to still more humble ends. It is used as a gravel pit for local road repair work. JOHN IRVING SHOES—AMERICA’S GREATEST FOOTWEAR VALUES \,. N Y. e xS RNAAES 4 S R w in Manuel of Portugal took refuge in 1910, when he was expelled from the throne of Portugal, also has gone under the auctioneer’s hammer. Manuel has left London for the south of France, and his house has been bought by the corporation of ‘Twickenham. It is being converted into municipal offices, where tax collectors, sewer inspectors, and po- lice commissioners will soon “‘hold sway in place of their royal prede- cessor. The two exiled families wers closely related. Between them they were able to trace their connection with almost every ruling house in Europe. The Duke of Orleans claimed 4i- roct descent from the old Bourbon line, and he based his vain claim to the throne of France on that de- scent. In 1898 he married Princess Maria Dorothea, a descendant bt the Hapsburg rulers of Australia. King Manuel belongs to the ten- centuries-old families of Bragance- Saxe-Coburg and Gotha. In 1913, following his exile, he extended his connections by marrying Princess Augusta Victoria of Hohensollern, a relation of the then ruling family of Germany. ‘The two families were connected through the duke's sister, Queen Amelle, who was Manuel's mother the former queen of Portugal. After the assassination of her husband and her elder son in 1908 and the overthrow of Manpel in 1910, she fled with him to join the Duke of Orleans at Twickenham. BOBBED HAIR TO fTAY.
