■ ment of two more persons because
of increased business to be handled
in t^e future.

Negro Stabs Dallas
Motorman Following
‘Jim Crow’ Dispute
DALLAS, Tex., July 8.—(JP)—A
big negro who last night stabbed G.
D. Tennison, 23, operator of a one
man street car here, and a negress
who argued with Tennison before
the stabbing, were sought by police
today. Tennison was in a critical
condition.
According to J. L. Walker, only
white passenger on the car, a num
ber of negroes boarded it. The ne
gress took dow’n a "Jim Crow” sign
which designated the negro portion
of the car, and threw it on a seat,
Walker said.
Tennison replaced the sign and
told the negress to leave it alone.
The big negro in the car then
stabbed Tennison.
Walker opened the front door, and
Tennison staggered to the curb,
where he collapsed. Walker called
the police and the negress and the
big negro who stabbed Tennison es
caped through a rear car window.

OLD ORCHARD, Maine, July 8.
—(VP)—Successful in their third at
tempt to take off from the beach
here, Roger Q. Williams and Lewis
A. Yancey were presumably wing
ing their way toward Rome in the
monoplane Pathfinder ‘odiy.
There was a possibility however
I _
that the flight might be in the na
ture of a test flight as Yancey told
Ben Zebor, his mechanic, that if a
careful check of gasoline consump
tion the first few hours showed they
were using too much fuel the plane
would be brought back.
The Pathfinder took off at 8.49 a.
m.
Three planes accompanied the
Pathfinder. A coast guard amphib
ian was on the left, a small commer
cial plane on the right and a large
commercial amphibian close in the
rear.
The Pathfinder seemed to be jusc
able to hold a 100 foot altitude as It
! passed out of sight. This was the
j ceiling of the machine as computed
! by Williams before the take-off.
‘A Day’s Work”
The small commercial plane re
turned to the beach in a few min
utes.
Yancey said they planned to land
at an airfield about 15 miles south
of Rome. “I am a working man
and I am going out to do a day’s
work,” Yancey said when newspaper
men asked him for some statement:
just before the take off. Williams,
as usual, would not comment.
The Pathfinder, a Bellanca mon
oplane, powered with a Wright
motor, bears the insignia “NX 3789”
in black on the tail and underneath ;
the left wing. The wings and tail |
are painted with aluminum paint !
and the fuselage is a light green |
with the name “Pathfinder” on both \
sides.
As the fog lifted for a moment
spectators on the beach could see j
the Pathfinder and its two accom- ;
panying amphibians circle, appar- j
ently in an effort to gain altitude.
Aboard the commercial amphib
ian were a dozen persons, among
them Thea Rasche, German avi
atrix.
Due East
The fliers planned to strike al
most due east to the tip of Cape
Sable, N. S., there to head east
south east to the “Corner,” a junc
tion of steamship lanes, about 1,000
miles from Old Orchard.
Their course was laid along the
41st latitude, passing 100 miles north
of the Azores and reaching the
mainland at Cape Ortegal. along the
northern tip of Spain. They plan
ned to cross Bayonne, Prance, and
head across the Mediterranean,
passing over the island of Corsica.
Harold Beedle, representative of
an oil company, who was In the
commercial plane which went four
miles with the Pathfinder, said the
plane was then at an altitude of 500
feet and was gaining more altitude
slowly.
“She was going fine,” Beedle said.
Beedle siad Williams had dumped
some of the 500 gallons of gasoline
in the Pathfinder before the take
off. He had checked the gas con- \
sumption of the motor carefully in '
the two weeks It had been at Scar
boro airport and the beach and de
termined it could reach its objec
tive with 450 gallons. Reducing the
load gave an added factor of safety
at the take-off.
Third Try
It was the third time in six weeks
Williams and Yancey had essayed a
take-off. The other two attempts,
both of which were unsuccessful,
were made in the Green Flash, sis
ter ship of the Pathfinder.
On May 29 one of the wheels of
the Green Flash crumbled soon
after the run down the beach start
ed. The rest of the plane was not
damaged and another try was made
on June 13. On that occasion one
wheel struck soft sand, pulled the
plane into a ground loop and
smashed it almost beyond repair.

New Orleans Strike
Quiet While City

NEW ORLEANS, La., July 8.—</P) |
—Peace reigned temporarily today ;
in New Orleans’ street car strike as
union leaders and public service of
ficers turned to a separate branch
of federal authority to aid their
cause.
Union heads pinned their hopes
for a satisfactory settlement on ac
tion by the department of labor’s
conciliation forces, while the pub
lic service company hinged its fight
on application for a federal injunc
tion to prevent riotous acts against
attempts to operate with non-union
labor.
Meanwhile, both sides had to be

(Special to The Herald)
MISSION, Texas, July 8.—The
condition of Clyde Latham, shot at
close range Saturday with a shot
gun, was pronounced as “very grave”
by hospittal attaches at 2 p. m. and
there was little hope held for his
life. Doctors have been working ;
over Latham since shortly after th^
shooting but they have almost de
spaired of saving his life.
Meanwhile, Eph Deckard is being
held in the city jail on a charge of
assault to murder in connection
with the shooting. Officers stated
they expected to remove Deckard
to the county jail at Edinburg Mon
day.
Latham was reported as resting
easily Sunday but took a turn for
the worse Monday. A full charge
of a shotgun fired at short range
entered his abdomen.
A statement signed by Latham
alleged Deckard shot him at the an
imal pound near here in an argu
ment over the price charged by
Deckard for the release of stock
owned by Latham.
District Attorney Aldridge said
examining trial for Deckard will be
held up pending determination of
the extent of Latham’s injuries.
Deckard was not allowed bond.
Deckard, who also made a state
ment shortly after he had called
officers to the scene of the shooting
where Latham was found, alleged
Latham was about to hit him with
an iron bar just before the shooting.

portion of the 1700-mile flight
through fog and rain.
Harry Nunn, manager of the Ho
tel El Jardin. who acted as repre
sentative of the National Aeronaut
ical Association of Texas, installing
the barograph which made the rec
ord official, was first to receive
word of the success of the flight.
His message from Zimmerley ar
rived a few minutes before 9 p. m.
Sunday.
Earlier In the afternoon The Her
ald had received a message from
the Associated Press that Zimmer
ley had dropped a message as he
flew over Bow Bells. N. D.. at 3:45
p. m. and that he had broken all
existing records at that time.
Nunn’s record of the take off has
been forwarded to Washington
This record contains the informa
tion that the plane is a Barling
NB-3. low wing, monoplane, that D
S. Zimmerley was the pilot, that the
barogranh was sealed with Wells
Fargo Exoress Co. seal No. 2916
that the barograph was wound, in
stalled in the shin and started at
2:16 a. m. July 7. 1929, and that
the takeoff was at 2:44:40 a. m
The report is signed by Harry Nunn
as official starter, Leon Perl and
Wm. Egan, witnesses. The report
was signed before Zona I. Taggart,
local notary public.
Zimmerley had so carefully plan
ned the storing of supplies which it
was necessary to take along with
hi mthat he could not carry the case
in which the barograph was to be
returned to Washington and it was
necessary to forward it to him by
air mail.
One of the field attendants of
fered the pilot two packs of cigar
ets, but they were declined with
the explanation that room to carry
them was not available. Every inch
of space inside the cockpit was
utilized.
