HAWKS TRYING
e 14-HOUR HOPl
In Air ?n Attempt to Shat
ter New York to Lob
Angeles Mark
ALBUQUERQUE. N. M . June
28.—<JP>—Capt. Hawks on His re
turn flight to New York passed
over Albuquerque at 9:27 a. m..
mountain standard time. He was
flying swiftly at an altitude of
about 5,000 feet.
LOS ANGELES. June 28.—>'.n— '
Seven hours and 14 minutes after
he had landed here, establishing a
new non-ston transcontinental
, flight record from New York to Los
Angeles. Captain Frank Hawkes
ktook off again this morning in an
effort tc break his own mark for
i.a west-east cross-continent aerial
dash.
Hawkes flew from Roose* elt field
‘•to Metropolitan airport in 19 hours.
► io minutes and 32 seconds yester
day. shattering the mark of 24
, hours, 51 minutes set. last year by
i Captain C. B. D. Collyer and Harry
•Tucker.
Under the program which Hawks
had outlined for himself he expect
ed to take off aeain aft“r about an
hour and a half and fly back to (
New York in about 14 hours, thus
crossing the continent twice in 36
hours
Trouble of several kinds which
appeared in Hawks' plane while me
chanics were grooming it for the
return flight prevented him from
taking off on schedule. First the :
stabilizer had to be repaired Then
a leak in the carburetor was found
to be irreparble and a new one had
to be obtained.
When Hawkes took off for New
York at 3:37:47 a m. he was out
for speed, declaring he wculd be
In New York in 14 hours.
•Tm going to fly high, perhaps
12.000 feet, and give her all she's
got ” he said. “My course will be
the same as the westward flight,
the more imnortant cities in the
line of flight being Flagstaff. -Ariz..
Albuquerque. Wichita. St. Louis.
Terre Haute. Columbus and Pitts
hnrgh”
If Hawkes reaches New York in
14 hour? he will have flown from
there to Los Anceles and return in
a little more than 40 hours, and
will have smashed his previous rec
W of 18 hours. 21 minutes. 59 sec
^Jids for the transcontinental
course from west to east. Such a
schedule would bring him to the At
lantic coast goal at 9:37 p. m.. east
ern daylight time.

of mine for 20 years.” he said.
Hidalgo county conditions occu
pied most of the attention of the
committee, of which Senator Smith
W. Brookhart. republican. Iowa, is
chairman. One witness, however,
testified as to Cameron county.
Creager's home.
That witness. C. G. Malott, San
Antonio, said he attempted to build
an international bridge across the
Rio Grande at Brownsville, offer
ing to turn it over to the city after
tolls had paid for the construction.
‘ We figured it wouid net the city
$25,000 a year,” he said. Creager.
he added, got the bridge franchise.
“I understand there is a written
agreement that Creager gets what
he wants in Brow-nsvllle. his home,
but lets the Democrats alone." Ma
lott declared.
"Does he have such an agreement1
with the Mexicans who don't read,
write or speak English?” Senator J
McKfllar asked.
“Mr. Creager speaks Spanish, and
I don't, so I don't know about that.”
Bullington then attempted to
shew that Malott was a rival of
Crcaeers for the bridge job, and
Malott declared:
' The fact is. I put the proposition
up to Creager and it looked so good
to him he took it up himself.”
Invited to Hidalgo
J. F. Berry declared he was “one
of the citizens of the free state of
Hidalgo,' but the 'free' is erroneous.”
"For several years I have been
watching the operations of one of
the most nauseous political rings I
ever heard of.” he said. “We feel
that we have been betrayed by the
republican party of this state.”
Berry, as had other witnesses,
contended that, if the state repub
lican party had aided last year by
putting a republican ticket in the
Hidalgo field the democratic ring
would have been broken.
"We have come to the conclusion
that Mr. Creager is not interested
in the good of the republican party
—we believe he only wants to con
trol patronage,” Berry said.
*We believe we could sweep the
county in a fair election, which was
denied us last year. Baker has built
up an organization with airtight
fences, and he went to the repub
lican party to do it.” Sheriff A. Y.
Baker is recognized head of the
Hidalgo democratic “ring.”
Berry said he would guarantee
expenses of the patronage commit
tee if it chose to go to Hidalgo
county.
“We are very sorry, but we won’t
be able to do that,” Senator Brook
hart explained.
Mrs. Schlaben told the committee
that in eight months $2,700,000 In
school bonds was voted In Hidalgo
county. She quoted from an article
in a national weekly, saying she had
"everv reason to believe it to be
true.”
Ten Percent
One other witness. J. M. Houston.
San Antonio, said he discussed an
appointrr<vit as postmaster at Aus
tin with Creager and Eugene Nolte.
Seguin. chairman of the state re
publican executive committee.
“The conference was friendly,”
Houston said. He added that after
he returned to Austin, which then |
was his home, he was informed he;
would have to pay 10 per cent of his
salary to the state campaign fund
to get the appointment.
“I wrote to Mr. Creager and Mr
Nolte withdrawing my application,’
hr declared.
Willard M. Ferguson. Mission, de
clared republicans in Hidalgo coun
ty. “do not think much of the par
ty loyalty of Creager.” for “he wants
to build an oreanization from the
too down.” w hile J. E. McClellan,
Edinburg, said:
“The American people of Hidalgo j
county are tolerating a situation'
w hich I am amazed they do toler
ate.
“Senator Brookhart. if you will
come to Hidalgo county I will
promise a gathering of between
8.000 and 10.000 persons who will be'
inti-democratic and anti-Creacer.
I am convinced that if you make a
thorough investigation it will re
veal a close connection between
Creager and Baker ”
“Then you think there Is a com
ine?” Brookhart asked.
“I am cert&ia of it.**

but she maintained that at the tune
of the second trip Williams war
gone.
The courtroom, adjoining corri
dors and stairways were packed.
Luisa Garcia put fire into Wil
liams' trial late Thursday afternoon
when she testified that West and
Hernandez had come to the hotel
and that a fight followed. West and
Hernandez, she said, wanted some
girls to go on a party with them to
a farm but they refused because of
fear and because the two officers
were intoxicated.
At midnight they returned to the
hotel and West displayed a gun and
in drunken levity explained that
that was what he used with women
who did not comply with his re
quests. The girl repeatedly said she
was afraid of West, afraid of his
family.
Miss Garcia was another power
for prosecution. On defense cross
examination she volunteered tne
statement that Bismark. Pope and
Dan Valdez, defense attorneys, ad
vised her what to say when she ap
peared before the grand jury. Dis
trict Attorney Bobbitt had her re
peat the statement while defense
moved Its chairs and the audience
smiled.

other part, his return in ten min
utes to find Williams gone. He de
nied hearing anything resembling a
fight.
Elisa McCloud told of the officers
coming to the hotel. She heard no
unusual noises, she said. Hood's
testimony told of a letter rrom Miss
Dorothy Johnson addressed t>o Wil
liams which was opened here ana
which disclosed that Miss Johnson's
father knew- of and objected to their
relations.
Swelter In Court
A sultrv afternoon in the natural
ly hot Rio Grande border town w'as
not enough to keep away from the
trial throngs of persons interested
in the trial and its outcome. Every
face was toward the stand and
quietness allowed each word of wit
nesses called to be distinctly heard.
The fans droned in the courtroom
as the thermometer was at 101 de

with Russia are barred and in ob
taining privileges first refused upon
the presentation of passports issued
by Russian diplomats In Paris. Ber

Word of the potency of the Borah
letters, or. to be more exact, of the
signature “Wm. E. Borah." scrawled i
in the handwriting of the leading i
proponent • of American recognition I
of the soviet government, has trav- i
eled far and wide in this country
with a result that the Idaho sen- J
ators receives almost daily requests j
for such documents.
These come not cnlv directly from
business men and scientists but from
senators and members of the hcuse
