His present term also expires May 1. Harmon succeeds Clyde Jones, whose resignation was sent to the Governor to be effective April 20. Harmon will be up for reappointment on May 1, 1929. Both Jones and Wampler received congratulatory letters from Jackson on their services with the commission. Wampler, one of the few men ever holding commission appointments who had had previous utility experience, came in for considerable criticism during the recent electric merger, he being charged with writing the order.. In a letter to the Governor he requested that he be not reappointed. On Federal Board The new commissioners come from southwestern Indiana. Jackson commented on their high character. Mclntosoh was born in 1870 at Freedom, Ind. He attended the Indiana State Normal and taught school. He was graduated from Indiana University in liberal arts in 1913 and then took agriculture at Purdue, becoming a county agricultural agent and later supervisor of such work at Purdue. He was appointed to the Federal Board for Vocational Education by President Wilson, with reappointments by Presidents Harding and Coolidge. He will resign this position.

McCardle and Frank Singleton, Republicans. Salary is SG,OOO a year. Gibbens’ term on the industrial hoard" begins April 23. A former street car rnotorman, he recently has been assistant chief railroad inspector for the public service commission. Considered a lieutenant of Lawrence Cartwright, backer of crushed stone in the recent highway warfare and chairman of the executive committee of the Republican central committee, Gibbens’ appointment is seen by politicians as an effort to stop party fighting in Madison County.

The decision, by Judge George Fred Rush, came after both Mrs. Carrington and Col. Edward C. Carrington announced they had agreed to drop mutual charges of infidelity.

Just before the divorce was granted Mrs. Carrington took the stand and announced she would waive all dower and property rights. “Do you intend to marry Campbell Carrington now?” Mrs. Carrington was asked. Campbell Carrington, the colonel's brother, was named as co-respondent. The question embarrassed her. “Really,” she said, “I’ve just won my freedom and I’m npt thinking of getting married again—to anybody. “No,” she added, "I’m not soured on men. I've always liked them.” HEAVY FLOOD FORECAST Warning to .Mississippi Valley and Other Mid-West Areas. ttu United Pram WASHINGTON, April 14.—New flood warnings were issued by the Weather Bureau today for the Mississippi valley and other middle k western points. > Continuance of heavy rains will create ;-uch danger that "all persons interested are urged to make all necessary precatuions against still higher river stages during the next two weeks.” Below the mouth of the Ohio River crest stages, provided the levees hold, will likely equal and may possibly exceed, those of the great flood of 1922, the bureau announced.

Samuel Saflr, Samuel Rosenblatt and Harry A. Sideman, were to have served terms in Atlanta penitentiary varying from two years and six months to a year and a day. Judge Hand suspended sentence on Joseph Dorn, the lesser defendant, saying: “I can not see why pardons should have been granted to the three principal defendants, because of their services to the Government in another case, but as it has been done it would seem to me rather grotesque to require the defendant Dorn, or the salesmen in the case, to serve a jail sentence when the principals were pardoned.”

Acosta and Chamberlin Achieve Aviation Fame at Roosevelt Field, N. Y.—Paris Hop May Follow Bu Times Special . „ , _ ROOSEVELT FIELD, NEW YORK, April 14.—Bert Acosta and Clarence D. Chamberlin, American civilians, came back to earth in their Bellanca-designed and Wright motored monoplane today after having remained in flight longer than any other aviators in history.

They broke first the American and then the world records for sustained flying and set a mark some more than five hours better than any previous figure. Their feat brought back to America a record which went to France in 1923. Their plane was American built, the fliers Americans and the flight was made over American soil. The official landing time was 12:42:05 p.m., which meant the record set for sustained flight was 51 hours, 11 minutes, 25 seconds. They had broken the old record by 5 hours, 59 minutes, 26 seconds. The shattered mark was 45 hours. 11 minutes, 59 seconds, held by Landry and Droughin of France. Fly Steadily I The plane, which last night had broken the American record and soon after daylight had passed the world’s record for sustained flight, circled steadily around the field during the night, the morning and at noon still was flying at an altitude of about 2,500 feet and a speed of about seventy miles per hour. Its circles over the field gradually narrowed until about 12:40 It began swooping lower and lower. This was turned Into a glide and the plane came down easily on the west side of the Roosevelt Field hangars. Thousands Cheer A crowd of many thousands cheered wildly as police fought to hold them back. G. M. Bellanoa, builder of the plane, dashed on to the field In an automobile and, at wild speed, waving his arms and shouting, drove toward the plane, anxious to be the first to greet the airmen. Getting Nowhere For two days and two nights the tired, determined airmen had flown in circles above Roosevelt and Mitchell Fields, with occasional brief excursions outside their orbit. In brilliant sunlight and in the soft radiance of an unclouded Easter moon their gray-fuselaged. cream-winged plane had pursued its monotonous course, speeding onward, getting nowhere, but putting the seconds and minutes and hours behind it. American Record Falls The first reward for the tired aviators came at 9:34:40 o’clock last night, when they set anew American record. The old record, 36 hours jnd 4 minutes, get by Lieutenants Mac Ready and Kelly, United States Army, had stood four years almost to the day. It was set April 16 and 17, 1923. At varying speeds and at varying heights. Acosta and Chamberlin kept up their round above the fields —spurred in the monotony of changeless ground below by thoughts of the greatly different, but in some respects perhaps easier, flight they hope to make—a nonstop trip from New York to Paris for the $25,000 Orteig prize. Alternated at Controls They took turns at the controls and both piloted the big machine—its wing spread is fortysix feet six inches—perfectly, as far as watchers on the ground could Judge. Late yesterday afternoon reporters in another airplane flew near the Bellanca plane, and saw Chamberlin stretched on the mattress, apparently asleep. Acosta, at the controls, looked tired and his face was greasecovered and furrowed with trickles of perspiration, but he smiled and waved a happy greeting. Designer on Alert Most Interested of all watchers was Bellanca. who left the field for only a few hours during the flight. He chewed a pencil and figured on a pad almost constantly, calculating the amount of gasoline used, the amount remaining, and the chances of achieving success. He announced a few minutes after the new record was set that the same plane, reconditioned, would start Its attempted New York-to-Paris non-stop flight “near the first of next month.” “The same pilots may make the trip,” he said.

SHAKE ARRAIGNS REPUBLICANS IN FIERY ADDRESS Vincennes Senator Makes Jefferson Day Speech at Union Club. \ Plain speaking was the keynote of the Jefferson Day dinner of the Marion County Democratic Service Union Wednesday night at the Claypool. Senator Curtis Shake, Vincennes, principal speaker, talked to the point on governmental affairs in State and nation and was well supported by former Senator L. Ert Slack, Indianapolis. After comparing administrations of Harding and Coolidge to that of Woodrow Wilson, Shake deplored the lack of Jeffersonian idealism of the present day. Lauds Wilson “For eight memorable years Wood row Wilson graced the White House and lent to the high office of the presidency the ornament of his matchless mind,” Shake declared, pointing out the “good laws” enact ed, such as Federal reserve and farm loan acts. He then turned lo Wilson's position in the World War when he became “an international figure, admired and revered.” “Over the broken hopes of the Wilson dream for world peace, the Harding Administration rode into power on as false an Issue as ever deceived the American people," the speaker continued. “We need hut call the roll of the infamous to give the history of that Administration, with Daugherty and Denby, Forbes and Smith, Pall and Sinclair, and Doheny, whose indefensible conduct has but recently received the indelible stamp of 'corrupt’ from the Supreme Court of the United States. Then there is Teapot Dcme. the little green house on K St., the Veterans’ Bureau, little black satchel, the private wire to the White House! Revelry! “Calvin the Silent** “Os Calvin, the silent, little need or can be said. His vision is circumscribed by the green hills of Vermont. His statesmanship is as broad, but no broader, than the State of Massachusetts. While the American farmer faces the black specter of bankruptcy and ruin, he Indulges himself in the dissipation of writing academic essays on thrift and frugality.” Senator Shake then directed attention to Indiana and compared the Democratic administrations of Ralston and Marshall with those of former Governor Warren T. McCray and Governor Jackson. He recited the effects of “Stephensonism” in the 1925 Legislature, the passage of “vicious amendments” never voted on and the loss of bills before they reached the Governor. He retold the tale of the indictments of the Stale highway department and re cent squashing of the charges. The Marion County grand jury's failure to indict any one for political coi ruption and the spending of SII,OOO from the Governor’s fund for attor neys in the case the Senator termed the “most dastardly and damnable” condition in the history of the State.

Dearth “Convicted** Touching on the Impeachment trial of Judge Dearth, ho declared that although the Senate sassed to convict, that official was “convicted at the bar of public opinion.** “Things have become so deplorable throughout the city, State and nation, that there has been a hue and cry for change in government in Evansville and Indianapolis, that honest citizens might get away from contact with corruption,” Shake said. Tribute to Shake, who Is already mentioned as a gubernatorial candi date, was paid by Slack, who termed the Senator “the most prominent po litical prospect in Indiana.” Michael Foley. Indianapolis attorney, talked on the life of Jefferson. Attorney William D. Headrick was toastmaster. LAUDS CHINA’S EFFORTS Senator A. R. Robinson. Addressing Grocers, Discusses Position. Defending China's efforts to rid herself of foreign domination. Senator Arthur R.
