Charles A. Lindbergh. At the White House before the state luncheon he gave in their honor, the president recalled “the thirfy hours and more of intense cmotion that gripped us while our own Colonel Lindbergh was winging his way to Paris.” “Today, therefore,” he said, “every Américan knows exaftly | what pride'and happiness possesses every French heart, at the knowl- edge that these two gallant sons of France stand safely on our soil.” Achievements Linked The achievements of Coste and Bellonte and Lindbergh were linked by Mr. Hoover with those of two of America’s other famous airmen, | Rear Admiral Richard E. Byrd and | Captain “Eddie” Rickenbacker, World war ace. All were his guests at the luncheon. Earlier, the French fliers had honored the tomb of the Jmknown Soldier at Arlington with a wreath. They also had paid their respects to members of the cabinet. The text of President Hoover's | welcome was: “It gives me great pleasure to welcome you here today.

Our pride and happi- ness were redoubled when we heard of the magnificent reception given to him by the government and people of France. Our hearts went out in fraternal warmth to those who had so royally welcomed our national hero. “Today, therefore, every American knows exactly what pride and hap- piness possesses every French heart, at the knowledge that these two gallant sons of France stand safely on our soil.

Buenos Aires, Argentina, Sept. 8 (Pr—Argentine today welcomed the revolution by which President Hipo- lito Irigoyen and his regime were ousted from office, and shared a nationwide holiday declared for the purpose of swearing in the mnew ministers at 4 o'clock this afternoon. Most of the people of Buenos Aires started out for their accus- tomed work this forenoon, not knowing the holiday was in force, They gladly joined the enormous crowd gathered before the govern- ment house or took part in parades, enthusiastically shouting for the revolution. Ceremony to Be Solemn The military junta headed by General Jose Evaristo Uriburu, de- clared the inauguration of the new ministers should be one of ‘“solem- nity befitting the, moment.” The new government cantinued to designate officials throughout the country issuing widespread orders for the arrests of certain ministers |and officials whose part in the rebel- lion appeared doubtful.

Early this morning R. Anderson, | a Darien policeman, was wounded | as he sought to arrest two Negroes | who aroused his suspicions as they | approached a bank. A posse trailed | them into a swamp and Robert | Freeman, chief of Glynn county po- lice, was killed and John Fisher, a | resident of Darien, and Deputy Sher- iff J. H.

A few minutes after he had hcen\ placed in the county jail, an vrm-‘ neous report was received that Dep- uty Sheriff Collins had died of h.sl wounds. | The angered crowd, brandishing | shotguns, began an immediate march | toward the jail, crashed into the | structure, and shot Grant to death. | Grant protested tp the men that he was not the slaver of Ereeman, | but Officer Andefson said he was the man who fired the shots.

Cause of sthe blaze was unknown although fire department officials were investigat- ing the theory of spontaneous com- bustion. The mill was a six-story brick structure and had been used chiefly for storage purposes. A large quan-, tity of electrical power equipment and several hundred cotton looms were destroyed. > The fire damaged the power lines for the company's other two mills and as a consequence, about 400 employes will be out of work untis repairs are made. The fire departments of Dover. Rochester, Rollinsford and Berwick Me., assisted the local department. The company was formerly locat- ed at Chicopee, Mass. The. mill was one of‘a group of three. It was 650 feet long and five | stories high and was used princi- pally as a storehouse. The buildina was well stocked with finisheds cotton sheeting, officials said.
