Second Section HOPE 10 SALVAGE DETROIT BALLOON Pary of Trapers Wil Soek Bag Which Laoded in Adioc- dack Wids HILL SAVES BAROGRAPH Pilot Sacrificed Food Supply to Preserve Precions Instrument Newcomb, N. Y., May 8 P—A party of trappers was organized to- day to salvage the balloon in which two aeronauts dropped into the wilds of the Adirondacks four days ago. E. 1. Hill and Arthur J. Schlosser, crew of the Detroit Times entry in the national elimination balloon race emerged from the wilderness yester- day, where they had wandered two days beset by hunger and cold seek- ing their way back to civilization. Thejr appearance accountea for @he last of the 12 balloons which fook oft from Pittsburgh, Pa., last Saturday to qualify for the interna- tional balloon race. 3 Navy balloon No. 1 which traveled approximately 900 miles to land on Prince Edward Island was credited with being the winner. Unofficial figures placed the Goodyear VII which landed at Keeseville, N. Y., 405 miles, second. Hill and Schtos- ser drifted about 380 miles. The win- ners of first and second place are qualified as international entries. Saved ph Schlosser and Hill came out of the ‘woods bearing their precious baro- graph in which is the official record of their flight and packing a pneu- matic bout in which they had pad- dled around two lakes in their scarch 1 for a way out. . They sald their adventures after landing at 7:15 S8unday morning near Moose pond were no more exciting than the flight through snow, sleet, min and a thunder storm with ice weighting down the huge bag as they battled to keep from being blown out to sea. Unable to take bearings they said they navigated “blind” and did not even know the name of the state in which they landed. Lost Food Supply Their food supply was lost when they threw everything out to ‘avoid landing in a swamp. “The balloon caine down out of the clouds so fast that we had lit- tle chance 'to see the - lay of the land,” Schlosser said. *We did n tice the country was heavily wood- ed, however, so we threw overboard our food and some equipment to get aut of that section and into open cpuntry. We were unable to rise again and landed near a lake. “We decided a lake of this size ‘must have a habitation of some kind 80 we inflated a collapsible boat we carried and rowed around the lake. We found no sign of a house and went back to the balloon. “We were protty discouraged— soaked to the skin, the weather cold and no food. We built a fire and NEW BRITAIN ITERALD dried our clothes as much as pos- sible. We stayed near the balloon &nd the fire S8unday night. Searching for Way Out “Monday morning we started out, intending to get to a habitation, but with no idea of direction. We pushed through the woods for some hours, getting hungrier all the time. Final- ly we climbed a mountain to make an observation. Way off to the southwest we could see signs of hab- Hation. We started off in that direc- tion but couldn't make it before dark, so we bullt another fire and camped out again.” Yesterday they rowed across Rich lake and came out near a highway where they met Howard Anderson, a resident. The region where the aeronauts landed is in Essex county in the heart of the eastern Adirondacks girded by some of the highest peaks in the range. Their landing place was 12 miles in a straight line from Newcomb. A few miles to the east is Aiden Lair, where the oath of of- fice was administered to President Roosevelt on the death of President McKinley, who was assassinated at Buffalo. The country is lo’wud and sparse- ly settled that persons unfamiliar with it can wander for days without finding & house. Dense thickets and fallen trees make travel difficult. ‘The balloonists said they had risen as high as 14,000 feet despite the bitter cold at that elevation in their efforts te avoid being blown out to sea. B PLAN EXPERINENT T0 AID PARALYSIS Blood of Suflerers o Be Used in Combating Disease Toronto, May 8 P—The blood of sufferers from infantile paralysis will be used in an experiment to combat the disease by medical ex- perts of the Connaught laboratories. Dr. Forbes Godfrey, provincial minister of health said arrangements have been made to obtain donations of blood from 200 persons who with- in recent years have suffered acute attacks of infantile paralysis. Not more than six or seven ounces of blood will be taken from each of the donors selected and payment will be made by the department of health. It was explained that the blood of persons who have suffered from the disease is filled with natural antj bodies which the physiclans will seek to transfer to the proposed serum. It is hoped that by injection of this serum persons may be made immune to the disease. The ekperiment is ex- pected to require about three months. Police Powers Broader Under New Traffic Bill A copy of the uniform traffic bill, which awaits the signature of Gov- ernor Trumbull to become a law, has been reccived by the police and is being atudied by the board of po- lice commissioners. It gives the po- lice considerably more power than they have ever had, authorizing them to make traffic regulations without the approval of the common council. ) NEW BRITAIN, CONNECTICUT, WEDNESDAY, MAY 8, 192. “Side By Side” There aren’t any picture lying around loose showing Anne Mor- | Colonel Charles A.

As the former was passing the north cross- walk, the latter turned to go east and did not see the other car in time to avold the collision. The truck struck the left front wheel of McKirdy's car.

GIL WOULD SETTLE RELIGIOUS STRIFE Mexican President Opess Gate | to End of Struggle With Catholic Church CANNOT AGT ORFICIALLY But Is Hopefi That Differences May Bfi Ended Soon Mexico City, May 8 (UP)—8ettle- ment of Mexico's long standing re- ligious controversy was regarded to- day the probable outcome of President Emilio Portes Gil's an- nouncement that he was ready to discuss the matter with Catholid au- thorities. % The president’s announcement last night opened the way for a nenewal of negotiations disrupted a few months ago when the presidential train was dynamited .The military revolution of March 3 prevented a resumption of discussions until hos- tilities were ended. Portes Gil's statement was in an- swer to one by Archbishop Leopold Ruiz y Flores, who said in Washing- ton h3 believed the religlous con- flict in Mexico could be settled. “I was pleased to note that the {archbishop said the religious con- flict in Mexico wes not caused by anything which could not be correct- ed by men of sincere good will, and that Catholic churchmen were pre- pared to cooperate with the Mexican government in any just and moral cffort for the hettermeift of the Mex- ican people,” Portes Gil said. The exact date on which the dis- cussions will begin and the length of time they will run has not been decided. That must awalt answer from the archbishop. Mexican laws prohibit official re- lations with the Vatican. the presi- dent raid, but he added that would not prevgnt him from “exchanging Welcome to This Inn of | | i ALBURN M. G | - impressions” with the clergy or en- gaging in personal conversations with churchmen with a view to in- terpretation of the, laws applying ‘o the clergy. Portes Gil called attention to his | recent statement that he did not be- lieve the Catholic church as an in- |stitution was connected with the Mexican revolution, and also that many members of the church had recommended obedience t othe laws. The public was not overly exuber- ant when it learned of the presi- dent’s statement. It was recalled hat strong pressure previously was brought to bear on both the church and the government to discuss the religious question but without avail. United States Ambassador Dwight ‘W. Morrow also exerted his strong- est efforts unofficially to bring about a solution, likewise without auccess. Nevertheless, it was generally felt that the new move was the most promising since the religious laws unfrocking priests, abolishing mon- astic orders, and confiscating church properties went into effect on July 31, 1926, and that it would probably bring a satisfactory solution, al- |though perhaps not for some time.
