Leave at 7:04 A. M. The Canary Rird took off at 7:04 a. m. It developed splendid speed, pilots of the military escort planes said when they returned to Parls. They had intended to follow the transatlantic fiyers to the sea but turned back 30 miles from Le Bour- get because they could not keep the pace of 115 miles an hour the Ca- nary Bird set. In contrast with the three other mornings when they were scheduled to start, everything went off like clockwork from the auccesstul smuggling aboard of their passenger and backer, Armand Lotti, to the takecoff. The Canary Bird succeeded in getting off the ground before it was half way down the field. The plane circled north- ward, disappearcd in the mist and then returned to circle over the field, after which the flyers turned southw est, Lottt On Board Lotti, who is the son of a well known Paris hotelman, not wishing his parents to know he intended to fly, had attempted to conceal h identity, Yesterday morning, how- ever, when an unsuccessful attempt was made to start, he was obliged to alight from the plane before the crowd and was recognized. Since then he has been afraid to go home and he slept all night in the hangar beside the plane. Lotti climbed aboard the machine before it was wheeled out and re- mained under a heap of rags during the preparations, Just prior to the start mechanics forgot he was hid- den under the rags and dumped a pile of provisions, coats and instru- ments on him. He was even trampled on somewhat, but he did not emerge from his hiding place until the machine started down the runway. Then Lotti was secen through the windows fighting off the stifling bags and rushing to the window to get ai Lefevre Is Navigator Lefevre will serve as navigator on the flight and Assolant will do most of the piloting. They appeared on the ficld well betore starting time and merely slipped sweaters over their street clothes. Assolant wore a canary yellow sweater. After the plane had left experts at Le Bourget said tha the airrien might be obliged to land at Dakar to refuel since the last minute change of plans might have found them without enough gasoline for the South American hop. Bright Yellow Plane The Canary Bird is bright yellow with tri-color bands around the body nd diagonally across each wing. A stork, the badge of their squad- ron, is painted on each side of the fuselage. The monoplane is a Ber- nard, It is equipped with a single 680 horsepower Hispano Suiza motor. No wireless is being carried since the generators were found to slow down the speed. The provisions aboard the plane were sandwiches, roast beef, two cold chickens, & number of bananas mineral water, four bottles of cham pagne and hot and cold coffee. Both Bachclors Assolant and Lefevre are both bachelors, being 23 and 25 years old 1espectively. They belong to the S4th air regiment. Although said 1o be subject to air sickness they are brilliant, skilled and experienced sirmen. Assolant served in the RIff war with distinction and was twice commended in dispatches and decor- ated with the military medal and was cross. Both have creditable records for long distance flying. proceeding | They were members of the crew of the plane commanded by Colonel Anthoinat which sought to unite Paris and Indo-China by air. That expedition was interrupted, however, on account of difficulties raised by Turkish authorities. New York, Sept. 12 (P—The pub- licity firm of Gillespie and Kusterer received a cable from their Paris representative today announcing that the French plane Canary Bird was headed for Mitchel field, Long Island and expected to make a non-stop flight in about 40 hours. Dispatches from Le Bourget had indicated that the plane might go to New York or South America. “Assolant, Le the cable read, ‘left 7:20 Paris time, Assolant carrying letter for you. An- ticipating 40 hours flying time or more. Please make reception ar- rangements at Mitchel field.” Summer Schedule Ends For Clerks in Stores New Dritain stores will remain open tomorrow evening until o'clock.

The result was that the scal season was a failure, and 80 was the fishery along the coast, for the ships were late in coming northward aud the fish left early. nder these efrcumstances the wreck of the Bay Rupert was a godsend. She was loaded to the gunwales with everything that could be imagined. 8ir Wilfred Grenfell, of the Labrador mission, asked me if 1 could mention one single ar- ticle that could not be found in her lading. I guessed several times without success. Even her stock of rifles was in tin cases and flowed ashore undamaged.” The Bowdoin picked up three loads of flour in bags floating at sea. It was found that an inch or two on the outside had caked with salt but the bulk of each bag was fresh and sweet, The flour was present- ed to the Moravian mission at Hope- dale and was used to feed destitute natives, Kodlunarn island was found in practically the same condition it was left in by Sir Martin Frobisher, famed Elizsbethan explorer 350 years ago, Members of the Mac- Millan expedition who visited were the first whites to set foot there for 68 years, and the second party for three centuries and a half. Into Frobisher Bay During the absence of Comman: der MacMillan at 8t. John's N the Bowdoin in command of Cap- tain Crowell, master of the Radio, an auxiliary crafl, was sent into Frobisher bay where the scientists on board had an opportunity of secing Kodlunarn and Silliman s fossil mound, discovered in 1860 by the Charles Francis Ball expedition. The Bowdoin party found - many | traces of the Frobisher colony which was settled by betwcen 50 and 60 men when the great seaman of Queen Elizabeth sailed for home with his cargo of “gold,” a “treas- ure” which later proved t» be iron pyrites. The most striking of those vestiges were the wooden ways from which the colonists launched their vesscls. They were still in |ood condition. At Stillman’s mound the party obtained a number of interesting relics. The scientists said that fos- sils exist not only in Bafiin lund but also in Newfoundland and Nova Scotia. On the maps of the Elizabethan period, Kodlunarn is referred to as Meta Incognita, and Frobisher sup- posed its location to be on the cast coast of Greenland whereas it was actually 700 miles west. Incident- ally the Bowdoin group found that Frobisher bay was shaped difierent- ly than as charted. Settlement Massacred The story of Frobisher's colony is another of the early tragedics of the north. Frobisher left his men well housed and supplied but they were never heard of again. In 1860 the Hall expedition stumbled upon hard coal, tools and other evidences of previous white occupancy, and learned from traditions picked up by the natives that the colonists | had flourished until they quarrelled with the natives and Kkilled some of them. The Eskimos retaliated by massacring the whole settlement. The expedition threw new light on the Nascopie Indians, a hitherto little known tribe of the interior of | northern Labrador. Duncan Strong. anthropologist, declared the Nasco- pies were one of the most primitive rices in the world. Their language resembles a Greek dialect. They urc particularly hardy and can live with comfort in ordinary skin tents with | the weather at 45 below zero, Mr. Strong spent six weeks with the Nascopies, wandering with them | in their tribal treks and living in | | their hunting lodges far in the in-| terior. The Indians were inclined | to guard their legends but Strong made friends with them and through a youthful interpreter suc- ceeded in making considerable pro- gress in his investigations. of Nascopies emerged woods and took Familics | from the | up their abode | alongside the scientific members of | the xpedition at Nain and addition- al facts were gleaned from then All members of the Bowdo'ns'| company were in good healt's al- though at one time Frank Hender- | son, mate of the Bowdoin, of Provincetown, Mass., and Clifford Hymoe, radio operator, of Los An- geles, were blown down the bay in a emall hoat and. taking refuge on jan island, were badly numbed Le- fere they could be rescued | There was geunine disappoint- | | ment when the expedition sailed for | ome for to the white fishermen, native Indians and Eskimos it meant the end of automobiling.

CATHOLICS WANT CHANGE IN MEXICO Desire Religious Laws to Be Amended Mexico City, Sept. 4 P—A pe- tition signed by 140 prominent Cath- olic laymen asking amendment of the religious laws to cstablish “com- plete religious liberty in Mexico and make the church and state indepen- dent” was before a senate com § .- tee today for consideration. The petition was read in the sen- ate last night and turned over to the commitee on consitutional points The memorial was also filed with the chamber but that body was not in session yester- day, The petition asks specifically: “First, that the legal existence and personality of all distinct denomi- nations be recognized. “Second, that the scparation and independence between the siate and different religious denominations be recognized and that consequently the state should not legislate in re- | ligious aftuirs, “Third, that this separation not be a system of hostility but of friendly coopcration in order to honefit’ the commonwealth. Each in its own sphere can be independent, the state in affairs of the temporal order, the church 1in affairs of the spiritual order. contribute thus to make Mexico a prosperous and enjoyable country. This involves no question of const tuting one state within another state but instead an independent spiritual authority alongside and in harmony with another independent civil au- thority. This is beneficial and cus- tomary in all civilized countries and nowhere creates a conflict and no- where is considered as implanting a state within a state.” The petition said the Catholics only ask “for what is indispensable | to our life.” CITY WORK CURTAILMENT | Street and Sewer Construction Gangs to Be Dismissed With Completion of Summer Program. Curtailment of street and sewer construction work will begin next weck when several labor gangs will be dismissed and foremen either | dropped or shifted to other opera- tions. This will be done because of the fact that the program mapped out at the opening of the year has been fulfilled for the most part and ix considered unwise to exhaust the appropriation early in the season, making no pro- vision for such necessary work as may come up later in the year, City Engineer Philip A. Merian explained today. ARRESTED FOR KILLING DOG Paul Cugno of Church street was arrested by Sergeant P.

The flight, despite the forced landing of the airmen about 100 miles from Mt. Evans, which had been prepared as their second bawe. was regarded today as a uolable feut. In their 1,800 mile leg from Cochrune they flew over the for- bidding wilderness of Labrador, then across 800 miles of the Atluntic be- low the arctic circle before reach- ing Greenland. They were sighted flying over Fiskenaesset about 200 miles south Point Sukkertoppen on the morning of August 19 and to the south of their projected course. The forced landing was due to lack ot gusoline. A smoke signal sent up by the fliers attracted the attention of the expedition. The base camp of the Evans expedition is at sca level on Kangerdluagstuak fjord. The coun- try is & desolate waste of ice br*en up by inaccessible mountains &nd dangerous fissures. The nearest habitation is a small Eskimo village 120 miles away. Lskimos are the only normal visitors. ‘Three miles from the camp is the expedition’s observatory on & moun- tain peak 1,290 feet ubove sea level. It is @ hut 14 feet by 6 1-2. It is equipped with radio and meteoro- logical instruments, and has bunks and cooking facilities, The seven members of the expe- dition were the Greenland native costume made of seal and reindeer skins. Game abounds and consti- tutes most of the expedition's food. Caribou, seal, arctic hare, ptarmi- gan and fox are tame and easy to catch. Mount Can Do As They Please Rockford, Ill., Sept. 4 Hassell and Parker Cramer may do as they please 80 far as the remain- holm, Sweden, is concerned, “Use your own judgment” was the reply of the chamber of com merce to a radio query received from Hassell last night, asking what he should do with the monoplane Greater Rockford, now stranded in southwestern Greenland 100 miles from the flyers' Mt. Evans base. Still jubilant over news of the flyers’ safety, the city was little dis- turbed over the only element of un- certainty remaining—will they con- tinue to Stockholm? Families of both men steadfast belief that the aviators would continue, despite their two weeks' experience in hiking over ice flelds toward Mt. Evans. Many, how- ever, rather hoped the men would abandon the last leg of their pro- jected trip, from Mt. Evans to Stock- holm, and return here as soon as possible to a day of combined cele- bration and thanksgiving which this city plans for their arrival. Mayor Bert Allen has announced that the Hassell-Cramer homecom- ing will be a public holiday. Public cheering around huge bon- fires continued last night, almost 24° hours after first news of the fiyers’ safety sent the whole population in- to joyous pandemonium. Crowds again surged around the Hassell home to join the flyer's wife, Mrs. Rosalle Hassell, and her three small children in their happiness. 1t 18 likely that a special train of Rockford enthusiasts will go to New York to welcome Hassell and Cr: mer whenever they return to this country, held a (R—Bert | der of their proposed flight to Stock- | Herbert Hoover and Al Smith A Photographed Together At Last! | Here's the first photograph that Herbert C.
