AIR CODE WOULD
BAN LOW FLYING
Washington, Aug. 14v (By the As
sociated Press), Low flying over
crowds or trick flying over any popu
lous area will be prohibited in all
paits of the United States by an aero
nautic code of safety being drafted by
experts of the bureau of standards,
the National Aeronautic Association
and the Society of Automotive Engi
neers.
Pending passage of the re-drafted
Wadsworth-Hicks bill providing for a
bureau of commercial aviation in the
department of commerce, and which
now provides for unified air control,
the draft of the safety code is tenta
tive, but its original provisions will
include:
Inspection of aviators and aircraft
in connection with the granting of
licenses to pilots and air transports
tion companies; prohibition of dan
fferous proximity of aircraft in flight;
rules governing personnel and equip
ment of airdromes, including medical
and signal equipment; aircraft radio
regulation rules for landing fields;
lighthouses for night flying, and land
ing. The Wadsworth-Hicks bill in prac
tically its original form passed the
Senate. It has been re-drafted by the
foreign and interstate commerce com
mittee of the House to include unified
control of civil, army and navy avia
tion. Its passage by the House is de
clared to be assured, together with
acceptance by the Senate of its re
drafted form. Its approval by the
president is also expected as he has
repeatedly declared himself in favor
of the legislation embodied in the
bill.
In this connection the coming con
vention of the National Aeronautic
Association is of interest, when uni
fied and expanded air power for the
federal government will be the pri
mary object. The meeting will have in
mind largely the development of civil
aviation throughout the country, and
(will have the practical co-operation of
army and navy authorities.

ARTHUR MARTIN BOUND OVER
Beginning yesterday afternoon
Judge Futch conducted the prelimi
nary hearing of the two white boys,
Martin and Whitesides, who are charg
ed with the murder of Robert Law
rence on the lot back of the foundry
s few days ago.
Officer Bronson was the first witness
far the state and told of the discoveri
es the murdered man and the general
happenings that night-
A 13-year-old negro girl named Al
berta Jones was the next witness. Al
terta's story follows: She and an
other girl were at the depot and saw
Arthur Martin and two other white
boys, there. Arthur told her to go on
up the A. C. L. raiiroad towards the
orange packing house, she said, and
they would follow. They went up the
railroad as far as the packing house
and sat on the railroad. When A. C.
L. train No. 9 passed at a little after
1 o'clock they all hid behind trees and
bushes until it was gone and then
cunie back to the railroad. As they
sat on the rails in front of the packing
house some one threw a rock and hit
Martin. Martin jumped up and look
ed around. About that time a negro
r.ian came up the railroad from the
lailroad and Martin stopped him and
asked if he threw the rock. The man
said no and went on uptown. Martin
then said he was going to kill him a
negro. Alberta and Lumb then left
the boys and walked on down towards
the creamery. When they got to the
creamery they heard some one say,
'Oh, Lordy, Lordy; I ain't the man,"
and heard Arthur Martin's voice say
"I don't give a damn." Albert said she
had known Martin for some time and
knew his voice well. She and Lumb
then walked on around toward the
Seaboard freight depot.
Upon cross examination, Alberta
seemed positive that Fred Whitesides
was not one of the boys with Martin,
so Whitesides was released.
The attorney for the defense show
ed Alberta a letter that was purported
to have been written to her by her
chum Lumb while they were both in
jail. Alberta denied having read the
letter. The letter was introduced in
evidence and was a request from
Lumb to Alberta not to tell that they
were at the packing house and to tell
that they heard the shots and thought
it was an automobile tire.
The state then rested and the de
fense brought forward Lumb Jones as
its first witness. Lumb denied writing
the letter that was produced and said
that she wrote a letter on, unruled
paper while this letter was on lined
tablet paper. She was requested to
write the letter in the court room so
that the writing could be compared
with the letter in hand. The two writ
ings were entirely different. Lumb
said she had written Alberta to tell
the truth, and that she gave it to Oscar
Ellis to deliver and that Oscar had
first shown the letter to Mr. Chalker
and then tore it up.
Sheriff S. C. M. Thomas was put on
the stand to testify that Lumb Jones
had told him two different stories
since being in jail. Mr. Thomas said
that she first said she knew nothing
about the shooting and then told prac
tically the same story that Alberta
had "told on the witness stand.
Mr. J. L. Hillman testified that he
went down the railroad from Wash
ington to May streets Sunday night
about 7:30 to 8 o'clock and then turn
ed east across the pond on the fill on
May street. When he was on the fill
a man stepped out of the bushes and
grabbed him by the right arm and ask
ed him if he was the " "
who had thrown a rock at him. Mr.
Hillman said that he did not know the
man and that it was not Arthur Mar
tin, because he knew Arthur well and
had known him six or seven years,
Oscar Ellis testified that Lumb
gave him the letter that was before
the court and requested that he deliver
it to Alberta. He showed it to Mi.
Chalker and then tried to deliver it to
Alberta but she refused to take it. Mr.
Green asked Oscar what he was doing
in the jail. Oscar replied that he was
doing ninety days.
Mr. Horne testified that he was at
the S. A. L. water tank the night of
the murder between 8 and 8:30 and
that he saw Arthur Martin there witn
another boy he did not know. He also
saw the two negro girls there. He
heard two pistol shots about 8:30 but
did not know what direction the shot
were fired. He said that when the
shots were fired someone remarked
that Arthur Martin said he believed
he would shoot his Luger and see how
it sounded. Baker Terry also testified
to about the same story as Horne.
Fred Whitesides testified that he
was the boy with Arthur at the tank
and that they left the tank and went
to Davidson's a few minutes and then
went home and he was in bed by nine. ,
Miss Norma Miller testified that she j
was sitting on her porch the night of
the shooting and heard someone say,
"I ain't the man' and "Oh, Lawdy,
Lcwdy," and then heard an automatic
shoot two or three times. Right after
that she heard the town clock strike
nine.
Arthur Martin took the stand and
denied knowing anything about the
murder and denied seeing the girls.
He stated that he was home by nine
o'clock and denied telling Wiggins
that he went home at 7:30 to 8 o'clock.
On cross examination he stated that
he went home and to bed without see
ing any of his folks although he knew
that they were home because he heard
them moving around in their rooms
and that he thought they might have
heard him come in.
His father took the stand and tes-

SOME MORE BLESSINGS
OF SOVIET RULE
Moscow. (By Mail to the Associ
ated Press). Production charges in
many Russian factories have become
so high, that the Soviet government
would now find it cheaper to import
certain manufactured articles than to
make them at home.
For example, it is said that harvest
er machines can be purchased and
transported from Germany, or even
from America, to Russia for much
less than the cost of producting them
ia the plant of the International Har
vester company near Moscow.
This American factory, one of the
few industries in Russia that was not
nationalized by the Bolsheviki, is one
of the most efficient in the countryf
but its production costs per machine
manufactured are almost twice those
of the German and American plants
of the company. This is chiefly due
to the high prices of raw material, but
the unusual Russian labor laws also
are an important factor.
For example a workman whose
wife is expecting a child is paid 25
per cent additional salary for nine
months, and in the month when the
child is born receives still another full
month's pay. If the workman is sup
porting a sister or a mother or any
other woman in on interesting condi
tion, the same rule applies, while a
feminine employe receives even more
liberal treatment, amounting to seven
f ull months extra pay.
The average daily pay of a Rus
sian workman is about $1 exclusive of
extras, but it has been estimated that
five Russians, who work under less ef
ficient conditions than in America,
