Motors Showing No Il Effects From Long Grind —Stunt Already Being Hailed as Epochal by ‘Aviation Experts in This Country. Imperial Valley, Cal., Jan. ¢ UP— After peacefully sailing over the Imperial Valley since yesterday, the army monoplane Question Mark headed back towards Los Angeles be- fore noon today in its fourth day of a flight to set a new endurance rec- ord through refueling. ‘Word of Major Carl Spats' deci- sion to quit the valley and journey northward came from Captain R. G. Hoyt, pilot of refueling plane No. 1. The flight started at Los Angeles 75 hours ago, 3 “They're all happy up there, Captain Hoyt sald, “Seem to be feeling good and everything running fine. Guess they're a bit tired of watching this desert and so we're going to fly to Los Angeles.” Captain Hoyt sald his ship would accompany the Question Mark and that a gasoline contact probably would be made en route to Los Angeles. The raturn of the Question Mark to the northern airport will mark the first appearance of the ship at T.os Angeles since late yesterday when it abandoned its- course there because of fog and sailed to the clear atmosphere over Imperial Valley, where it spent the night roaring peacefully above the sandy plain. ; g ‘With Captain Hoyt are Lieuts, 'A.

Brown in superlor court has denied a motion by the defendant in the case of Howard D. Ibelle against H. W. Golden, Inc., of Troy, N. Y., to set aside the verdict of the jury in favor of the plaintiff to recover $1,000 damages. After re- viewing the findings of the jury, Judge Brown writes: “Therefore, while I might not have arrived at the same «onclusion myself were I the trier, nevertheless under the well ¢ciablish law of this state the ver- dict must stand.” The action was for $5,000 and grew out of an accident in Newing- fon on June 12, 1926, when Harold D.

Meanwhile the first tour of pool {rooms and other hidc-away places crooks and gangsters by the newly revived “strong-arm” squads brought out the fact that under- world characters known to the po- lice had deserted their usual haunts. The Manhattan squads visited places on the Bowery, in Chinatown and along the wharves and then swung up into the mid-town white light district without finding any of ‘he undesirables they had been in- structed to drive out, in one place the squad demonstrated strong-arm tactics. The detectives entered a basement |resort in West b1st street, scarched |and questioncd patrons and ordered them out. Then After scizing a | quantity of beer and liquor, they wrecked the place.

Some of the countries will intro- duce reservations to the treaties at the time of signing. The conference also approved without discussion a report read by Ambassador Ferrara of Cuba in- forming the conference of fts spe- cial committee's activities In estab- lishing a speclal commission for the conciliation of the Paraguayan-Bo- livian dispute and the acceptance of both Bolivia and Paraguay of a protocol to this effect. At the same time the gath>ring also approved a resolution introduc- ed by Dr. Ferrara in which the con- ference expressed its pleasure at the {manner in which both Bolivia and Paraguay accepted the good offices of the conference. The resolution contained greetings to the “sister republics” of Bolivia and Paraguay |and expressed the hope that the con- !ciliation commission may soon begin its labors and bring them to a suc- cessful termination. The report of Dr. Ferrara, who with Dr. Victor Maurtua of Peru, was co-author of the original resolu- tion whereby the arbitration confer- ence offered its good offices in the | Paraguayan-Bolivian dispute, re- viewed in some detall the various steps in the conciliation negotiations and quoted textually the final con- | cilfatton protocol signed yesterday by the two countries. Beginning under inauspicious cir- cumstances the Pan-American con- !terence on conciliation and arbitra- tion seems to have more than ful- filled its mission. In addition to drafting an arbitra- |tion treaty and a conciliation pact, 'the purpose for which it met, the conference found time to work out means of settling the Paraguayan- Bolivian controversy, which on two occasions reached the point where shots were exchanged and blood was shed.
