I S|w't !.it Di«psh'h to Thf St«r
ROCKVILLE. Md.. April 21.—Posted
in Washington, an anonymous letter
containing an admission of guilt, en
tered today in th? revned investiga
tion of the murder of Edward L. Mills
on his dairy farm at Hunting Hill,
about 4 miles from Rockville, last July 7 .
Steadman Prescott, to whom the note
was sent, said Hie letters of the mes
sage were printed in ink Mr Prescott
; ts attorney for Samuel T. Robertson.
Bethesda contractor who ts being held
1 tn jail here without bail, charged with
! th? fatal shooting.
The letter read:
; "You have made a great mistake.
Sam Robertson did not shoot the man
; ! did it myself. I see you every aay.
but vou don't know me. That is all.”
Relievrd I’nimportant.
| Mr. Prescott turned the letter over to
! Alva T Moxley. chief of the Montgom
ery County police. The police, it is
understood, do not attach much im
portance to it. They point out that
such letters are written by cranks and
practical iokers in most eases of this
kind.
New evidence as to the whereabouts
of Robertson on the morning of the
murriT also came to light today
Andrew J Baughman, a neighbor of
Mills, today told the Montgomery
Countv authorities that hr had talked
with Robertson early on the morning
of the murdrr
Baughman yesterday visited Mrs
Bertha Milts, widow of the slain dairy
man. and told her of seeing Robertson
on the day her husband was killed. The
information was conveyed to Rorkvili
and Patrolman Roy Bodemer began at
investigation
The neighbor, according to Patro'
man Bodcm?r. said that early on th?
morning Mills' body was found riddle
with bullets Robertson rente on ht :
farm and inquired what the excitemen
was about.
Robertson then asked. Baughman to’c
Patrolman Bodemer, where the bodv
had been taken, because he wanted *•
tetl his aged father. Adam Robertson I
who was aTiuamted with Mil’s Robert
son then Wt the vicinity. Baughmav
said, according to Patrolman Bod cm?* |
Prosecutor HI.
A:though State's Attorney Robert I
Peter, suffering from what is said to
bp a mild ease of the flu. was this
morning ordered bv his ohvsician to
i-main in b'd “two or three days.”’
investigation of the murder continued
today
Former States Attorney Joseph O
Cisr'l. who entered the case several
days ago at the request of State’s At- i
tomey Peter, will, it is understood,
direct arti'dths whil* Mr Pet-r i« in
capacitated. It has been established
'hat Robertson was near the scene of
the crime a few hours after Mills was
shot to on his farm last vear A
motive still is sought. State s Attorney
Peter and Mr. Clssel. as well as Chief j
of Police Alvie A Moxley and the m«n
under him have not disclosed theories
they are believed to have.
Clar-nce Mil?s youthful farm hand
who was the only eye witness to th-1
shooting and who was a hundred vards
or more away at the time, will be
brought from the House of Correction,
where he is serving for an offense com
mitted in Prince Georges County. This
will be done within adav nr two He
will look at Robertson. At the time of
the murder Mtles gave the authorities
a description of the man he saw fire
several bullets into Mills’ body and
then stoop and oin the much-discussed
note on his shirt.
Attorney Presrbtt has announced his;
nurpose to demand a preliminary hear
ing for his client at the earliest possible
date.
ATLANTIC AIRWAYS
NEEDS EXPLAINED
BY BREMEN FLYER
i Continued from First Pag? >
only an approximate idea of position j
and ground speed could be estimated.
Regarding instruments and compasses
a lot of work still remains to be done )
in this field, but science and brain -
power are overcoming these problems, i
and better and more reliable instru- i
mm n nt3 are being produced from time
to time.
Since Alcock and Whitten-Brown
crossed from Newfoundland to Ireland
in their Vickers-Vimy machine in 1919
many improvementta have taken place |
in instruments and compasses, making ;
transatlantic aviation a much more j
Mm pie and less risky undertaking than I
it'was wh»n they performed their mar
velous feat
While on their flight, when flvlng
through fog and clouds they had no
idea of the position of the machine in
j ielation to the ground.
Turn Indicators Invented.
Since then, however, many useful turn j
indicators have been Introduced which j
show the pilot at a glance, when flying I
at night or through fog or clouds, I
whether hi« machine is on a level keel !
• turning or banking.
Next, what kind of machines will be
j used on the routes of the future? If I
may be permitted to voice an opinion, 1
would say multi-engined flying boats
capable of riding out the roughest sea
This may be received with a smile,
but it ts rny thought that the transat
lantic flvlng boat of the future will in
effect be a flying submarine, which. In
| addition to being a very deadly weapon i
in war, would also have considerable
; commercial value It would fold its
wings and be able not alone to fly, but
! ride over and through the waves.
One difficulty with th? Large flying
| boat at present is that when a boat is
loaded for a Jong distance' or ocean
flight it is an exceedingly difficult lob
to get it to take off owing to the enor
mous diag of the water
This is a matter which can quite
easily b- overcome Bpeclai light rail

LONDON, April 21.—-Poet and dream
er. albeit a daring adventurer. Baron
von Huenefeld spent the last few hours
it Ealdonnel airdrome before the lake- i
j off of the Bremen composing a poetic |
testament telling <>f the emotions that
surged within him
; Reports from Labrador say that the
Baron wrote poetry in the cockpit of
! the Bremen while the great plane wa«
ulunging blindly toward hei goal, and j
it was to poetry that he turned on
April 11. the day before the hop-off. j
Included in the testament that he wrote
on that day is a poem which was
rhymed m the original German, but
! was translated into free verse by the
Baron's agent.
“Before the Start ”
“By Baron Ehrenfried Gunther von
i Huenefeld.
"Never before in my life did I sigh
: a deeper breath of relief than when the
xsean flight was financially secured. I
realized that the way was free for me
to take an active part in a feat which ;
surely required energy, endurance and
daring spirit
Tribute to Junkers.
“Never for a moment did I doubt that
the scientific and technical arrange
ments were perfect, thanks to the iron
will inspired by the highest idealism j
which emanated from Prof Junkers and
his co-operai .rs and which dominated
the whole of the Junkers works. I never
doubted because I had been In the
closest contact with flying since 1913

all we’ll have to do is to attach the
new landing gear. Installing the new
oil lines and the propeller should not
take very long "
At the conference, too. it was de
cided that the Bremen would not. at
teniut to rise from the Ice-covered
reservoir Into which It fell and thus
shove off at once. Rather, because of
the limited length of the run it was j
felt that after the repairs were made j
Capt. Kochi would take off the plane j
alone, with not more than half a dozen ]
gallons in the fuel tanks, and hop it j
tc the Straits, a flight of not more than
10 minutes.
“I rather think Capt. Koehl will de- i
cide to do this." Maj, Fitzmaurice said j
It would be hazardous to try to take j
off the Bremen from the reservoir with i
a heavy load of fuel. The St. Lawrence j
presents an unlimited runway We j
could fuel up then and thp three of
tts hop in and flv to Murray Bay Fog j
is the only thing that mav cause us to j
break up the flight into stops. I have
never seen such fog in all my life as j
we found in this region But we are
honing we will get good weather.”
Undgr the plans formulated at the
conference Maj. Fitmaurlce will fly back
with his cqllcagues and Dr. Cuisinier
will return in the Alliance plane.
Activity at Lake Ft. Agnes became \
general today. About th® Alliance plane j
boiled a whole little world of activity ;
The French Canadian residents, to,
whom little* in th® way of unusual i
comes, stood before the tri-motored l
metal plane frankly dubious about Us
ability to fly
There will be little comfort for the
rescuers of the Germans When the
A'liance plane takes off. she will be
trimmed for action like an old ship
of th? line. Not an excess of one pound
weight wiU be aboard. Even ;xtra
‘clothing his been Jettisoned.
The rapacious fuselage is piled high
with gear for the Bremen, the great
wheels and struts for the landing gear
and petrol in 5-gallon cans. When
th® natty’ Irish major, who despite his
privations lias managed to preserve the
sartorial perfection for which he Is
famous enters, it will be with diffi
culty. for he will have to climb over
the stuff.

EDITORS’ SOCIETY II
ELECTS OFFICERS
Envoy, Two Senators and
Educator Speak at
Banquet.
After two days of self-invited criti
| rism. the American press, represents: i
i in the American Society of Newspapei i
Editors, last night heard itself praise: i
by an Ambassador, two United States j
Senators and the president of a leadin'.’
university. The speakers at the ban
quet concluding the society's seventh
annual convention were the German
Ambassador. Herr Priedriek Wilhelm
von Prittwitz Senators Fess of Ohio '
and Vandenberg of Michigan, and Dr j
Max Mason president of the University
of Chicago
Just before the dinner the new board
chosen yesterday afternoon elected the
following officers for the coming year ,
President Walter M Harrison of th
Oklahoman. Oklahoma City. Okla.: first
vice president Willis Abbott of the |
Christian Science Monitor: second vice j
president. Grove Patterson of the Toled-
Blade; treasurer, Edward S Beck •> j
the Chicago Tribune: secretary. Marvir
Creacher of the Milwaukee Journal.
Members of Board.
The board consists of the following:
Four-year terms. Mr Abbott and
George E Miller, Detroit News; Fred
Fuller Shedd. Philadelphia Evening |
Bulletin, and Herbert Bayard Swope.
Nrw York World: two-year terms. Paul
Bellamy. Cleveland Plain Dealer, and
Donald J. Sterling Portland Journal.
This board will consider amending
th n constitution to provide for censure,
suspension or -expulsion of members
violating the society's code of ethics.
This amendment was passed bv th°
society, but it was later learned that a
two-thirds vote was necessary and this
had not been obtained. The board voted
si.ooo for further development of j
journalistic study at the University of
Peking. China.
The German Ambassador in his ad
dress declared that the trend In modern
affairs, as exemplified in the younger |
generation, was toward better organiza
tions on a simplified basis. This, he said
is illustrated in thp newspaper. He ap
plied the conception to international re
lations and welcomed the Idea of out- >
: lawlng war. "as It means a settlement
|of international conflicts by peaceful
j methods and replaces weapons of force
! with arguments of justice."
Praises Flyers’ Reception.
The ambassador praised the courtesy
I shown to the German transatlantic
; fivers by the American press In in
; troducing the speaker, the toastmaster.

BALLOU ANALYZES I
NEEDS OP DISTRICT i
«
i
School Head Speaks Before ;
Women’s Guild of Ameri
can University.
Solution of long-standing problems
afTecting the welfare and development
of Washington, in national aspects,
await a better public understanding. Dr
Prank W. Ballou, superintendent of
schools, declared last night in an ad
dress at the annual dinner of the Wom
en's Guild of American University iu
the college dining hall on the campus j
"Mast of our difficulties grow ou* of a
lack of understanding of the character
of the District of Columbia and how
these problems are to be solved." Dr
Ballou said. "There are frequently
harsh things said about Congress and j
the District in regard to what we want
and what we don't want badly enough
to pay for it fully. I think most of
these harsh words grow out of a lack of
understanding on the part of th*» cit
izens of the District on th* one hand
and of Congress on the other.”
Conflicting Views.
Hp spoke of the tendency of some to
regard Washington as a municipality
like other cities, and of the conflicting
viewpoint of those who wish to regard
it as a national city In due course of
I time, hp expressed the belief, there
would come a solution based on a prin
ciple of responsibility and counter
responsibility which would lead to the
development of Washington fully and
completely, “so that it will represent
j something more than a mere
municipality."
Representative Madden of Illinois,
chairman of the House appropriations
committee, who was one of the honor
guests, made a plea for the public to
put faith in representatives of the
Government. “Under a free Govern
ment. America has outstripped the
| world." he said. “If its public men are
sustained, trusted and watched over by
an unselfish people, under such condi
tions. American institutions will be
handed down untarnished to future
generations.”
Outlines Activities.
Mrs. Mary Logan Tucker, president
of the guiltL who presided, outlined its
activities in behalf of the women's hall
the students' loan fund and the $500,000
scholarship endowment now under way.
She introduced as one of the speakers
Dr. T. Perrier Hulme of Bristol. Eng
honesty of the press as shown by the
Washington correspond uhs. and de
clared that the editor i.ad the greatest
power qf any .nan in 'he country
"There & no oower greater than public
opinion' ne said, "and the press makes
public opinion." He cited the passage
of the flood control bill as an example
of the power of a few men to sway
manv doubters
Dr. Mason used a metaphor from
Dhysics to show how the entire uni
verse is made up of corelated matte-
Life, he said, exists through contacts
and newspapers are constantly giving
life to all their readers. The editots
have the greatest responsibility of al:
human beings, he said. He defined
morality as the expression of truth as
accurately as possible and said that a
newspaper is moral when it tells the
> truth with all possible accuracy and
without embellishment.
William G. Ellis, syndicate writer,
struck back at the critics of the pro
fession. declaring that nothing of value
had been contributed by the criticisms
of Clarence Darrow. Dr. Joseph Collins
or Silas Bent. Gov. Ritchie and Rev
R. W. Sockman had given just criti
cisms. he said. As for the press, he de
clared. "when a clear moral issue is
stated the editors vote right.”
