FLYING ACE COMPLETES HARDIEST
Eddie Rickenbacker Lands in Washington After Flight From the Coast
] Talented Finger Hart In Accident
SURVIVES HARD LUCK
Loses Own Machine in Crash and Makes One Relay in a Mail Plane
ALIGHTS EXHAUSTED
Washington. May 28.—E^ddie Rick- enbacker, American flying ace, com¬ pleted hi.'f trans-continental flight when he landed at Boiling field at 5:58  today.
Ulckenbacker landed Just as the akies were clearing after a severe thunderstorm, which he escaped by driving high above the c'ouds during the last part of his trip from Dayton.
Rlck.'nbacker was exhausted when he landed and waa taken lo the field headquarters by army aviators to real.
The American ace had planned to make the trip with only one stop, but was forced to land six times from Redwood City, Cal., to Washington.
The flight waa made in the interest of the American Licgion membership.
When he landed in Washington, Rickenbacker had completed a trail of American Legion circulars, across the continent, dropping them from his airplane.
Rickenbacker met wilh hard luck from the very start of his flight. He went lo Redwood City. Cal., from San l-'ianiisco in order lo hop off for WuKhinglon on Tuesday. In landing ut Hedwoiid City, his plane went into H .slide and he had dilficulty^ in right¬ ing it. Fortunately nether he nor the plane   was   injured.
After wailing a day at Redwood City for the weather lo clear, he took off Thursday, but the fog drove him back to the landing field. He got awuy again a short time later.
In crossing the rookies, the flyer encountered strons head winds which de^a.Ncd him in reaching Cheyenne. He landed on the field at night and Nmashed his plane. lie was again fortunate  and   escaped   injur>-.
Mying wilh a mail pilot, Ricken¬ backer left Cheynne Friday and with stopt! at North Flatlc and Omaha Sat¬ urday morning as a passenger in an army plane. At Daytorr- h^rrtiatTged flanes and piloted his own ship into Washington.
Story    of   tha   Trip
Kddie Rickenbacker, America's premier aviator, mud bespaitcred and almost exhausted, after 1'6 hours in the air during the last three days. < nmpleted his 3,000 trans-continental flight from San Francisco here to¬ night.
An invitation asking the noted avia¬ tor fo attend a dinner for Oeneral Ter-shing cau.sed him to attempt the flight in less than half the lime of the fasted limited train.
Kurly Thur.sday he left Redwood City, Cal. but his place at the Persh¬ ing dinner would have been vacant hi;d he not been able to ''hop" rides on mail and army planes, after his crash al Cheyenne, Wyo.
Five planes were used by the ace to make the trip. He was limp when he arrived al Boiling field at 5:58. three hours lale because of a forced land¬ ing in the mud near Cumberland, Md.
"If 1 hadn't cracked up at Cheyenne 1 wuyld have made the flight in two hops as I intended to do", said Eddie. "As it is it's thanks to the air mall service and Providence that I'm here.
"I have flown in five ships, includ¬ ing the  one  that  smashed.
"I made the trip lo call national attention to the urgent necessity of keeping Amercan ships in the air. 1 have also dropped leaflets of the memorial day message of ihe com¬ mander of the American Legion down upon  the big cities 1  flow over.
"During the trip 1 encountered fog, rain and treacherous mountain ar currents. It was the roughest flying 1 ever had. The air mail pilots go up against that stuff every day for the small salaries ihal are almost be¬ grudged them. 1 tell you a man wouldn't be a mail pilot for a thou- iiand dollars a month unless he loved the game.
"These pilots are the men who would be defending the air for Uncle Sam IM hours after wai' is declared if that happens afiiain.
"About the only fun I had on the trip was when I was forced down fn the Cumberland mountains near a village juat south of Cumberland. All the natives came out to have a look at me or the machine.
"My propeller was idling and a Ut¬ tle dog gave a couple of sniffs at the blades. Bingo, off went a half-inch of the dog's nose. That wasn't funny, but the way the little girt owner of the dog hopped on my frame was. She berated me for letting the acci¬ dent  happen.
"My route, after I was forced down at Cheyenne was to Omaha, Iowa City, Chicago, Dayton, Moundsvllle, the little Mao'Iand yillage and hera."
Miss Claire Matlack, daughter of Dr. and Mrs. G. T. Matlack, of West Northampton atreet, is a pa¬ tient In City Hospital suffering from an injury to her left hand as the result of an odd automo¬ bile accident. Her injury has as¬ sumed serious personal proportions becauae of its liability to conflict with her musical career, she being one of the moat accompllahed vio¬ linists in the city.
Miss Matlack has been in the hospital since Friday, but it waa not until last night that the man¬ agement made any statement of her case. It was said thai the third finger on her left hand- was badly lacerated. The surgeon attending the case does not belifve amputa¬ tion la necessary.
The accident to Mlsa Matlack occurred vyhile she was motoring to Bethlehem with Attorney and Mrs. Franck O. Darte to attend the Bach festival. On the road engine trouble developed and the Darte machine was halted. 'While the chauffeur went to work on the en¬ gine Miss Matlack, it is said, at¬ tempted to eliminate the danger of the machine sliding down an in¬ cline by placing a rock under one of the wheels. As she was ad- Justing the stone, the wheel caught her left hand. The entire weight of the car was against it for a moment, during which her finger was severely cut.

Kingston and Dorranceton Residents Said to Have Received Marked Letters
To the officers and members of the United Mine Workers of America of District One; Dear Sirs and Brothers: In laat Sunday'a issue of tho Sunday Independent an article appeared which was signed and pur¬ ported to be written by Evan Cann. In answer to the same I wish to stale the article in itself is proof suf¬ flcient of the statements made in my circular lo the local unjona, and was the mean* of showing one of my op¬ ponents at the time my circular waa issued' in his true light. I did not intend lo make any answer because the thinking and active mine workers of District -No. 1 are well able to judge me and my ambitions, aa well aa to determine if the statements contain¬ ed in the article are true or not by the facts.
But lest some one not ao well ac¬ quainted in the affairs of District No. 1. would be deceived by this political trie k. 1 deem it advisable to make an answer aa brief as possible.
First I wish to warn the membera of our union to beware of wolves in sheep clothing. They have more than Cann lo do wilh the article. There may be more like it but 1 am not afraid, 1 am no tool uf any man or men.
Second.   I   am   glad   to   know   Mr.
Evan Cann in his true light. He has
been   a  supporter  of   mine   and   my
policy  for years, and shouted louder

loyalty to the men, if there waa a selfish grain in my makeup *I could have been well taken care of, and I would not need to waste my time as it appears, to educate men like Mr. Cann, who haa now had a new revela¬ tion. Promiaes of good jobs are now flying in the air as at every election and it is a sorry and sad condition that some men who know in their hearts they are not doing the best for their fellowmen should fall for a promise or even a job, and whether Mr. C4nn or any other likes it or not I will continue to fight nntil this union protects ts own members In every  angle.
Some people think that a man Is sane only when he is still and don't speak or act; that is probably Evan Cann's conception of Mack, but take it from me. Mack and the rest lake care of themselves immaterial to the welfare of anyone that pays them. As I have stated, I now again question Mr. Evan Cann'a authorship of that article, and I will deposit one hun¬ dred dollars with the district attorney of Luzerne County or any othe) -e- liable man, the same to be the prop¬ erty of Evan Cann if fhe will write or dictate such an article himself-with¬ out a copy before the above named gentleman.
I wish lo aay. In conclusion, beware of these political tricks hatched by them against our interests. Every¬ thing conceivable to human imagina¬ tion ia played this time and the old bunch is doomed if they are not suc¬ cessful.
Don't believe the poison and lies spread  among you;   you  know  what

I think it would be well tor Mr. Cann or the writer of the article lo read the con¬ stitution and find out for his own information before he makes such foolish statements that the Secretary Treasurer is not a member of the District Board, it is only a short time ago and fresh in the mfnd of the mine workers that John M.

Cambridge, Mass., May 28.—Califor¬ nia added a second great triumph over the collegiate year here this aft¬ ernoon by winning the forty-fifth an¬ nual eastern intercollegiate track and field championships.
The "big ten" from the Paciflc coast, with 27% points, finished by a hair over Harvard's 27. Dartmouth was third with 20, Pennsylvania next wilh 18^4 and Stanford fifth with 15.
The other eleven comri'ting teams were "also rans."

Good consistent performance of the whole ten, rather Ihag the individual feats of any star, sent the victory to thp far West.
California scored in el^ht of \the thirteen events.
The question of victory or defeat rested on the shoulders of young Hutchinson, who carried the Califor¬ nia colors into the lasit event—the 220-yard dash.
California needed three points to nose out Harvard and it was up to Hutchinson lo get them. With Allen Woodring, the Olympic champion; Leconey, the I.Afayette flash, and Bob Maxam.

London. May ,28.—Germany nvay cut her indemnity bill of $33,000,000,000 almost in half, it developed here to¬ night.
The possibility arose from the fact that the allied countries are ao anx¬ ious to get real money from Germany that the long term bonds to be issued from Berlin probably will be offered to investors at a heavy discount, pos¬ sibly as much as 50 per cent.
Austen Chamberlain, leader of the House of Commons, has staled def¬ initely that Germany's indemnity bonds will be marked as soon as pos¬ sible "at a considerable reduction".
He indicated that the allies are willing to discount Gennany's unpaid bill for ready cash. According to British financiers the emphasis in Chamberlain's statement comes on the word  "considerable".
Germany's bonds are to be turned over to the reparations commission. The commission according to present plans will decide when and if the bonds are to be marketed.
The reparations' commission plans lo safeguard the issue In every way possible and the first bonds lo reach the market will not be in large lots.
Germany's chance to reduce her in¬ debtedness lies in the fact that she can buy back her below par bonds. It is believed ihe individual Germans to whom a 1 000 mark note has that ex¬ act value,  regardless of what others
Ntew   York,   May   28—The  greatest
agricultural   marketing   organization
in the  world  was  launched here to-
/"nigiu when plans were completed for
the   Farmers   Finance  Corporation.
The corporation, which was formeH Ifor the purpo.se of handling the /country's grain crop on a co-opera¬ tive basis, will have a capitalization of $100,000,000 and a potential power of at least $1,000,000,000. Incorpora- ,'tion papers will be filed in Dover, Del.,  next  week.
According to officials the corpora-
is   usually   multiplied   three-fold   be- »tion    will    b«gin   to   function   imme fore it reaches the ultimate payer, the,i dialely and may be able to handle .t
consumer.
As a result, eliminating other dr- cumstances that may affect the mar¬ kets, the bill should increase theicost of living to every man, woman and child in the country about $5 a Tear.
Under the old tarriff law, despite big importations, the governmejit re¬ ceived less than $5,000,000 from duties on articles Included in tne em-< ergency tariff.
The maia purpoaa of the bill isiad- mittedly lo boost'the price of farm pi-oducts and its sponsors would like- to see an increase at least three times I aa much aa the tax imposed. They claim that it is imperative to pay the farmer a higher price for his pro¬ ducts.
If treasury estimates con..- up to expectations, the tariff will fall heaviest on three necessities,—wool, wheat and wheat-flour, and sugar.
McCoy's figures show that the wooI> tariffs should yield about $90,000,000' more than the present schedules. Mul¬ tiplying this amount by three, it means the consumer must pay $2,7S additional if he buys only one suit a year.
The sugar duties of 1.16 cents a pound will yield the government aa additional  $40,000,000.
Already in the nation's capital the price of sugar has jumped \^ cents a pound in chain stores. Last Sat¬ urday it was sold at Be to the con¬ sumer.    Tnda.v the price was 7V4c.

Elimination of speculation in grain: •stabilization of grain prices vwith equal benefit to farmers and con¬ sumers.
Increased acreage, with consequent greater  production.
Abolition of unnecessary coats by direct shipments and elimination of middle men s profits.
If this experiment is successful, it was staled, farmers 'organizations throughout the country will apply the same principle lo other agricultural products. The U. S. Grain Growers, incorporated, of which the Farmers' Finance Corporation is a subsidiary, win form another subsidiary to han¬ dle grain exports.
Committees similar to the one which has just completed organisa¬ tion of the finance corporal Ions are now al work organizing the live slock products, poultry, garden and other products.
The Farmers' Finance Coi poration will at once lease or build elevators in Chicago, Minneapolis. Omaha, Kansas City, Cleveland, New York and Spokane or Seattle and later in Galveston and Fort Worth.

One asked "Do you favor con¬ solidation with Kingston?" and the other gelling the queries was asked to signify his stat^ of mind and re¬ turn it to the organization without signature in an envelope specially provided by the Chamber of Com¬ merce.
It was in the envelope that Mr. Al- labach claims to have discovered the scheme, l'nder the flap of each en¬ velope was a small number, he says, which would be revealed only by close scrutiny. The Dorranceton business man ch.irges that the sender has kept a record of the number sent to each citizen pnd that his vote can easily be determined without the presence of his signature.
In announcing the result of his dis¬ covery, he charged "high handed methods." He Intimated that an ef¬ fort will be made to have Dorrance¬ ton residents hold back their replies. "Some   Protests   Made.
