He said about 3,000 twice as many letters ha ceived both at Lakehurst and here,, coming from such persons as thel rulers of Chini, Spain, Turkey. some South American republics and | private citizens everywhere. “We even got a cablegram, he continued, “from the ‘Iron Gustaf.’ a Berlin cabby who became famous | by driving his one-horse shay from !

Vari- ous government departments have been invited to be represented, he added. but responses have not yet been received ntirly and the list is not yet made up.

MIS5 EARHART IN “SILLY" ADDRESS (Tells Yale Meeting She'll Let Experts Talk Seriously New Haven, Oct. 20 (UP)—Miss Amelia Earhart has revealed the objective of her long distance flight —a flying food surve Deciding to be “silly,” the first woman to cross the ocean in an airplane took delegates to the first intercollegiate aviation conference into her confidence and told them all about ham and eggs last night. There had been some pretty se- rious talk about flying. President Nickolaus Engelhardt of the Yale Aeronautical society, host to the conference, had declared flying to be “a serious business—not just a sport.” Kloyd Newton, president of tional Aeronautical association, was pretty much in earnest over the need of an airport. Then Porter Adams, who pre- sided, introduced Miss Earhart. The tall, blonde girl took the platform steps two at a time, lean- ed far out over the speakers' stand chin on her hands and grinned. “I don’t know if I ought to,” reflected aloud. *“Yes—I she think 1 |should. I'm going to be sily. “I'll just leave all the serious talking to all those experts who will address the conference tomorrow and tell you something about food I have met during my flights. That ought to interest most everybody,” she said. The girl flier pictured for a de- lighted audience the ham sand- wiches of the )riendship’s hop from Boston to Trepassy, the inevitable canned rabbit of that Newfoundland village, the gigantic scrambled egg sandwiches of the transatlantic flight “which scarcely permitted the Friendship to get off the bay,” the Tondon teas and the fried eggs— {universal American diet—which she | encountered on her trip across the American continent and back in her tiny Moth plane. “And maybe after two or three monkeys, | ¥2rs of flying I will have cnough data to publish a survey on it,” she concluded.

AMERICANS TO BE ASKED TO PARLEY Germany Wants U. S. Represent- ¢d at Reparations Hearing T (—One of two Amer ghest standing in the financial world will be requested by the German and allied governments to participate in the meetings of the commiittce of experts which will take up the question of German repara- tions. The preliminary work of prepar- ing for {he forthcoming discussion ios advanced so far that the compo- sition of the committee may be an- nounced within a fortnight. Yester- Cay's conversations between Premier Toincare, ker Gilbert Jr., ent gener: for reparations, and Winston Churchill, British chancel- lor of the Exchequer, and their later mecting with J. P. Morgan is re- garded as having brought discussions of fixation of war debt and its com- mercial realization to a point where the action of experts may be started. The experts committee will ree- a final plan for reparations the American government will not be invited as a government to send a representative was under- stood at the discussions. It was pointed out that Washington was not asked fo be represented on the Dawes committee, but that Charles G. Dawes, Owen D. Young and Hen- ry M. Robinson were invited to par- ticipate as individuals by the repara- tions commission. The state depart- ment, however, was asked by James A. Logan, Jr, then American ob- gerver on the reparations commis- sion, if there any objection to the participation of the Americans, and the state department replied there was none. The same procedure may be followed now, but in any e, care will be taken not to in- vite Americans who might for any reason be ohjectionable to their own government. Thus the will have an “unoflicial” veto. The advanced American government right of well upon conversations are not as to principles which the experts committee shall | proceed. The Belgian and Italian governments have been consult the British, French and € governments so that an offici nouncement may be expected rel- atively soon. The committee will not et until 1comber at the earliest. It seems most likely that the heav est part of its work will commence in January. “‘ThreevarszI:e(eers" Star Secret Bride in Gotham New York, Oct. 20 (I'P)——A pret- blonde ton girl was Droad- revelation in secret who pla Musketeers Osterman, impersonator, last Muesday.

MRS, SHITH SORRY 70 LEAVE MID-WEST Wishes She Could Stay and Shake Hands With More Women Chicago, Oct. 20 UP—Homeward bound, the Smiths of New York— Governor and Mrs. 8mith and their three oldest children—are leaving behind their first presidential stumping tour of western and south- ern states. Mrs. 8mith and her two daugh- ters leave it regretfully, sorry that|} they could not shake hands of a few more thousand women who came to parties arranged in their honor, sor- ry that they couid not do more sightseeing in each of the cities and towns where their stops were all too short. Lame right arms mean nothing to the feminine members of the gov- ernor's party, “They will get well, you know, explains Mrs. Bmith when she is seen rubbing her elbow some- what apprehensively. In each of the three cities where the governor has given formal ad- dresses the women have been guests of honor at various special functions of tea, luncheons, receptions, and just ordinary parties. At every station where the special democratic campaign train made brief station stops Mrs. Smith and her daughters were out, shaking hands over the observation car rail- ing, handing out 8mith buttons, and patting the heads of babies held up by hopeful mothers, In every pa- rade arranged for display of the candidate the family was prese=?, making bows, smiling, and waving. And yet they all say they are not tired of it. A change from being the whole show was offered the party last night in Chicago when a municipal fireworks demonstration was staged in Grant park, directly in front of the 8mith suite in the Congress hotel. The mysterious black void of Lake Michigan served as a background for the elaborate and colorful out- burst, while the governor, resting comfortably in a\ dressing gown for a time looked out at a show that was attracting the attention of hun- dreds of persons who filled Michigan boulevard in front of the hotel. In an adjoining room sat Mrs. Smith and her elder daughter, Mrs. John A. Warner, thoroughly enjoy- ing the display, while the younger daughter, Mrs. Francis J. Quillinan, farther down the hall watched with one eye—the other was on the look- out for her young husband who had promised to buy her an ice cream soda after the speech. The day of parading and the eve- ning of speech-making had tired the governor and he went immediately to his room after his party's return from the 131st armory.

WOMAN CLAIMS FRAUD Mary Meade Brings Suit For $9,000 Again Andrew Bengston and Aaron Danieison Over Realty Deal. Alleging that Andrew Bengston and Aaron Danielson practiced fraud and decit in arranging a real estate deal, Mary Meade brought suit against them today for $9,000. Ac- cording to the complaint, the de- fendants represented to the plaintift that a three tenement house and four-car garage, with land, at 213- 215 Winthrop street represented a good investment at the purchase price of $17,500, and she, being old {and infirm and therefore unable to properly transact business, relied upon thelr advice and judgment, only to learn later that her purchase was not what had been represented. Bengston owned the property and Danielson was the-agent. The plain- tiff claims to have paid $5.000 cash, assumed a first mortgage for $7.500 and given back to the defendants a second mortgage for $5,000. Attorney Willlam E.

RIOTING OCCURS AT PLYNOUTH, PA, Coal Miners and Iron Workers Engage in Fierea Fight Wilkes Barre, Pa.,, Oct. 20 UB—A fight between miners and iron work- ers employed at No, 11 Colliery of the Lehigh and Wilkes Barre Coal company at Plymouth, near here, sent two men to Mercy hospital to- day, one with a bullet in his right leg and the other badly beaten up. State police and Luserne county de- tectives responding to a riot call which was sent"in quelled the dis- turbance, but not before at least a dozen other members of the clash. ing factions suffered injuries from flying fists and missiles. Vincent Syres, 35, ot Plymouth, a miner, and David Jones, 40, of Detroit, Mich., an iron worker, are in Mercy hospital. Jones is alleged to have shot 8yres. Friends and fellow workers of Syres it is said then rushed the iron workers' group and beat Jones. The trouble is reported to have started when the miners ap- proached the iron workers and re- quested them to join the union, but the group of which Jones is & mem- ber, refused. Words are believed to have preipitated the group into & melee during which the shot was fired. State police who rushed to the mine which is on the main thorough- fare of Plymouth, reported that the situation was under control and no serious further outbreaks are ex- pected. Three men were under ar- rest.
