Kirkham was en- deavoring to obtain what was in ef- fect a new trial under the guise of & motion to introduce new eviaence. Judge Kirkham responded by read- ing a transcript of the trial which showed an agreement between the lawyers by which he was privileged to present and explain facts which lad not been included in the plead- ings filed up to that time. Judge Yeomans took the motion and the objection under advisement and will give his decision shortly.

The airman, who had received favorable reports of weather condi- tions from Greenland, Labrador, and Newfoundland loaded his plane which had been under repairs here, last night. He started at 1v:25 a. m., (6:25 a. m. eastern standard time). Captain Ahrenberg. accompanied by Lieutenant Axel Floden and Ra- dio Operator Robert Ljunglund, left Btockholm, Sweden, on June 3 and hopped to Bergen whence they took off for Reykjavik, Iceland. The men came down at Skap- taros in southeast Iceland because of shortage of fuel and some difficulty with theiy cngines. Gasoline was sent to them and they continued to Reykjavik, their base, for the sec- end lap of their course which cov- ors the route taken by the Norse- men centuries ago. 8ince then they have remained at Reykjavik, making repairs to the plane, testing the machine out and awaiting favorable weather. Three times they started for Greenland but each time were forced to return by the development of somz new diffi- culty. The fliers’ itinerary called for a ten-hour hop from Reykjavik to lvigtut. From Gr@nland they hoped -to fly to the North American coast leaving to a later decision whether to stop in the Gulf of St. Lawrence or to attempt to continue on direct- ly to New York.

(Special to the Herald) Ocean City, N.

Dominic's fatal losing streak of last Tuesday which undoubtedly kept New Britain from being a strong contender for the national crown, deserted him as mysteriously as it came and he approached the play off of the tie this morning before the opening of the semi-finals with un- disturbed calmness. In the first game Dominic won the lag and took 13 marbles straight, winning the game by a score of 13, to 0 without his opponent getting a single shot.

Willlams and Navigator Lewis A. Yancey were back in Maine with another plane today, preparing for a fresh attempt to reach Rome by air. A sister ship of the Columbia, in which Clarence D. Chamberlin cross- ed the sea, will be used in their next effort to span the Atlantic. The big monoplane, Pathfinder by name, was flown by the aviators from New York last night, and, be- cause of the rough condition of the beach here, was landed at the Port- land Municipal airport in Bcarboro, only a few miles from Old Orchard. It was expected to be transferred here today. Yancey said some of his navigat- ing instruments were not functio ing satisfactorily and that several test flights would be made before the hop-off for Rome. He also want- ed to experiment with fuel mixtures. Accompanying the fliers on the trip from New York were John Mc- Cormick, mechanic, and Dean Brau- er, Wright Motors expert, who were to assist them in the final tests. ‘The “Pathfinder” is powered with a J5 Wright whirlwind motor. Like the Green Flash, it is painted green but in a slightly lighter shade. Tt was owned originally by A. Roy Martino and later by Mrs. James A.

To Enable Patients to Pay Bills Chicago, June 27 (A—The instal- ment plan has been invoked by the Chicago Medical soclety for the ben- efit of those who are sick and un- able to make prompt payment. The new financial arrangement is called “the modern medical budget plan” and its purpose is to finance worthy sick persons on a cost basis, the patient to make rcpayment in weekly or monthly instalments over commensurate with his ability to pay. Adapts Finance Plan Dr. James H. Hutton, president. elect of the society, said the plan “simply adapts to the sick the mod- ern method of financing employed by the automobile, the radio and other industries, and cnables the family of moderate means to ar- vange for medical or hospital care cn a time-payment plan.” Dr. Hutton taid that the plan would keep down the cost of illness by minimizing the risk of financial loss to doctor and hospital, and by doing away -with indiscriminate charity. Under the plan, the patient sum- mons the physician of his choice who diagrioses the case, indicates the course of treatment and then esti- mates the cost. The doctor fills out & card which serves as authorization to finance a loan to the patient at #ix Per cent interest for the physi- clan's individual account. Doctor Gets 83 Per Cent Ar soon as the loan is made, the physictan is mailed a check for 35 per cent of the total bill. The bal- ance is paid to him by the finance corporation in instalments consisting of one-half of all moneys still due. principal and interest, when and as collected. The patient is completely financed, Dr. Hutton said, and the physician finally receives 86.37 per cent of his total fee. The finance organization retains 13.63 per cent as the doctor’s contribution to the plan, and it creates a special fund against which all bad loans are charged. Gets Something Anyway If the loan proves uncollectable the physiclan receives only the 35 per cent originally advanced, which assures him of receiving at least a fraction of his costs in time and ser- vices. “The plan prevents the commer- cialization of medicine on the one hand,” said Dr. Hutton. “and on the other hand aids the patient who pays only six per cent simple interest on his unpaid balance. The plan is ethi- cal and fair (o both patient and phy- sician.” — If Martin Jensen succeeds in his present attempt to set a new world's record for a refucling flight, the honor will be strictly a family affair.
