MAUGHAN FLIGHT OPENS NEW ESA IN U. Army Airman Arrived at Frisco 18 Minutes Ahead of Scheduled Time, By United Press SAN FRANCISCO. Cal., June 24. —Fleeter almost than the sun itself, Lieut. Russell L Maughan flew by daylight from New York to San Francisco Monday and the drema of American airmen of a dawn-to-dusk transcontinental flight became a reality. Anew era of aviation has !>een opened up by the courageous and successful adventure, army and civilian flying men declared today as congratulations were showered upon the army officer who left Mitchell field. New York, at 2:59 a. m., eastern standard time, and arrived in San Francisco 21 hours and 45 minutes later. Lesson for War What Army men visualize is a fleet of airplanes on one coast called by wire or wireless to defense of the other and spanning the entire United States within a single day. |t was past dusk when Maughan’s Record flight came to an end at "rissey Field, out airmen pointed out he had delayed at dawn, that the sun was up thirty-seven minutes before the little plane hummed off into the West and that the flier actually arrived eighteen minutes ahead of schedule. Maughan was “air sick” a couple of dozen times during his fight. He ate little, he Said, between the time he left New York and his arrival here. Face wind-burnt, eyes flaming, red rimmed, sunken and bloodshot, hands trembling with sheer fatigue, the airman was bundled off to bed after he had sketched a brief, unromantic word picture of his epoch-making flight. "Me and My Plane” "In the mountain country we made 140 miles an hour. Over level country, faster time —better than 150 miles. I think.” • “We?’ someone asked. "Me and my plane.” "For the first 200 miles the weather was fine, then for 150 miles we drove through rain. Then came 100 miles of fog. After that we had low hanging clouds all the way.” PROPHETS LEND 6 HANDTOPOLICE Visitors Capture Alleged Hold-up Men, Real excitement was provided by several men attending the Grotto convention early today when, after ceremonies and joy fests ceased, they captured two alleged hold-up men and aided in the capture of a man of mystery.

NEW GAINS FOR M’ADOO CLAIMED BY SUPPORTERS Favorite Son Votes Switch to Their Man, His Leaders Say, By PAUL R. MALLON. United \eir)g Staff Correspondent M’ADOO II E A D Q U A RTERS, NEW YORK. June 24—"McAdoo will climb within 130 voter of the Democratic presidential nomination on the fifth ballot.” was the claim advanced today by managers of the leading candidate just before opening of the first day'*s convention session . ben garnered in last-minute deals with uninstructed and “favorite son” delegations. The half dozen floor leaders furthering McAdoo’s candidacy within the convention hall rely upon this strength to stampede their candidate through. With 600 votes, just 132 short of t. e nomination. McAdoo would be admittedly at his strongest. Never, they say, has a candidate come so close and then failed In swinging the nomination. If the exexpected rush is blocked and M< Adoo enters the later ballots without any additional strength, the convention is certain to develop into a long deadlock. May Use "Veto” If McAdoo can not attain the nomination, his managers are of a frame of mind to have him use his “veto power” to the end He can command Indefinitely a sufficient number of delegates to prevent any one else from swinging the nomination, they say. Just exactly whioh delegations are expected to drop their favorite sons for McAdoo is hieing carefully con cealeq by the managers. “It xvtll however, surprise all of you.” William La.dc Rockwell, camraign manager confided. The deals whereby this new strength was gained is said to have involved possible vice presidential support for at least one favorite son. The only black spot in the confidence around these headquarters lies in the strong opposition of the New Fork newspapers, which have a big circulation among the convention delegates. Sentiments of the local papers are always considered high ly important in influencing the dele- ' gates “on the fence” at every' convention. Dolieny Gift Denied Rockwell, Monday night, issued a statement severely condemning a 10-i cal newspaper story’ to the effect that I E. L. Doheny, the oil magnate and j central figure in the “oil scandal," had contributed between $25,000 and $30,000 to the McAdoo campaign. i Characterizing the story' as “an I utter lie,” Rockwell said: "Such a flagrant and patent mis- \ representation comes from one j cause, the determination of the pred- j

The American Academy of Science 'and Harvard University are again jointly putting iti order the tomb of Count Rnmfo.il in Paris. In the Ur ico-German war this tomb was injured by a shell and the ! American Academy and the University had it repaired. Since that time i the inscription has been effaced and again these institutions are restorI ing it. Count Rumford, horn in Woburn. Massachusetts in 1753. and apprenticed in a shop in Salem, rose to i great heights in the diplomatic serv- | ice of the British Empire He was : knighted by Georg? 11l He served for ele. n years as a Minister of j War and later as minister of Police and Grand Chamberlain to the Elector.

He was a man of distinction as a i statesman, a philosopher and a ; scientist, throughout his life, in addition to his political pursuits, ho 1 devoted hims If to his philosophical studies and -oieritifie research. He was noted a < a chemist. Harvard University and the American Academy of Science are indebted to Count Rumford not only for his contribution to scientific ! learning, but for his fotindafion of the Rumford Medal of the American Society of Arts and Sciences, and for his establishment of the Rumford Professorship in Harvard University. This professorship is now : held by Professor George W. Pierce jof the physics department of Ilar- | vard University. A portrait of Count Rumford.' j painted by Gainsborough, is in the : possession of Harvard University in ! the Fogg Art Museum.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES
EFFORT IS MADE TO FORGET KLAN AND DRY FIGHTS Delegates to New York Convention Get Down to Real Business, By LOWELL MELLETT. Times Staff Correspondent. NEW YORK, June 24.—Lieutenant Maughan in his New York to San Francisco flight yesterday must have passed at least fine idea headed this way. At any rate the idea seems to have arrived from somewhere out of the West and to have made a neat landing in Madison Square Garden. The idea is that instead of carrying their mutual massacre any further inside the Democratic party, the Kian and anti-Klan warriors and the wet and anti-wet warriors had better drop those issues and find the ground on which the real battle is to be waged this summer.” ' Almost as if by secret agreement the party leaders today were endeavoring to silence the clamor •.m these two extraneous topics. Possibly the horde of arriving delegates, most of whom only debarked from their trains yesterday, brought the suggestion. Possibly a cool niglri's sleep did the business. Certain it is that th<- mob of President makers, the 1.09s men and women delegates, who gathered to hear Senator Pat Harrison furnish the campaign key ] note were trying to get their minds on the serious work before them. ' They were talking about the Klan, all right, and about the booze issue, but what they were saying was: ‘‘Let’s forget it.” Even Papers Forget Even the New York newspapers, which had helped incite the frfatri eidal strife, were trying to forget it. How long this resolution will hold remains to be seen. If any other ideas have come out of the West they haven't yet made themselves felt to any degree One I listens In vain for the progressive principles on which (tie Democratic > with the conservative principles announced at Cleveland by tin Republicans. The talk Is entirely of party politics. of progressive candidates ,s such e\en less is heard. Except as to the continuing bitter struggle between McAdoo and his enemies. Good Go\ - ernors from this, that and the other State were having their pictures tacked up in hotel lobbies, but they were being brought forward simply |as good Governors. If the progressives have a second string to their I bow they are keeping it safely con- ! coaled. Some Progressives In the past year while the dividing j line in people’s minds between cor, ; servatism and progressivism has ! bo. ) !f : , tvw outstanding spokesmen for the | prog ssive view hue. caught national attention. Montana alone pro vided two in the persons of Senators ' Walsh and Wheeler The name of ' neither is heart! in the crow,led cr ridors of the New York hotels. Walsh, it is true, will have the spot- ; light for a time with his address as ; permanent chairman. But, from ! present indications that will be about j all Perhaps if, an 1 when, the Me i Ad, o lin starts to break those of nis delegates who are for him pn marily because he is a progressive will beglr. casting wildly for mother of his kind to take his place, bu* they are dumb on the subject at this stage.
