The Passing Procession

A REVIEW OF THE WEEK’S NEWS SHE treacherous lanes of the sky and the equally treacherous and more devious paths of the politician were the routes traveled by the major news of the last week. Somewhere In the Atlantic wastes Princess Anr.e Lowstein-Wertheim and her two companions, English aviators, vainly are waiting for rescue, or have died beneath the tossing waves which have overwhelmed their frail craft—-the end of their dash by air from England to their Ottawa, Canada, goal. The intrepid princess, as scornful of danger and death In her sixtythird year as she had been for the last thirty years of her thrill-fllled career, left England Wednesday, in the St. Raphael monoplane. From the time the plane headed out from Ireland over the open ocean, nothing has been heard of it. If the princess and her pilot and navigator have died, the death toll in long distance air flights this year will be raised to fifteen.

Hope officially has been lost for rescue of the seven missing DoleHawaii prize fliers, one of them a woman, Mildred Doran, pretty Michigan school teacher. The navy ceased its hunt for them Thursday. Search still is being conducted for Paul Redfern, missing for a week on his flight from Brunswick, Ga., to Rio de Janeiro. Conflicting reports of landing of planes In the South American Jungles have been received. Two Canadian planes have failed thus far to reach the ocean, one of Jthem bound for Windsor, Eng., from Windsor, Ont., and the other on a London, Ont., to London, England, dash. Charley Levine, the comedian of the air, dodging angry creditors and his wife, scoffed at death to steal his plane away from Paris and flew to London 'Tuesday. He landed while an ambulance waited and amazed aviation experts goggled in wonder at his antics piloting the plane. He expects to start for America as soon as conditions are favorable, with a half blinded Britisher as pilot. Schlee and Brock, round the world fliers, have reached Asia in their race against the record time for globe flights, a fraction over 28 days. They are ahead of schedule.

SPOTLIGHT ON DUVALL

The spotlight glare, centered in recent weeks in Indiana on Governor Ed Jackson and D. C. Stephenson. flickering from Statehouse to State prison to stable, was focussed this week on Mayor Duvall. The municipal whirligig revolved at dizzy speed during the lattlr part of the week. With a unanimous shout of “We quit,” the entire safety board went out of office Thursday. Within a few hours anew safety board, composed of Frederick W. Connell, Ira P. Haymaker and Robert F. Miller, had taken their places. The last straw, the resigning board said, was the demand of the mayor that the board oust Police Chief Claude F. Johnson and appoint Claude Worley, former detective inspector, as his successor. They refused and resigned. The new came in. Worley became chief. Johnson became city controller. Tre force will undergo a shakeup from attic to basement. Emerson W. Chaille and John F. White, civil service commissioners, not to be outdone, tendered their resignations Saturday, declaring

For smoke effect, he burns waste in an open container up in front, and If folks snut one eye, they easily can imagine a real train is scooting by. There really is only one drawback. The front passenger, who gets to act as engineer, also furnishes the power. He puts his feet through a hole

that Duvall had torn down all the board had built up since its inception. And the end is not yet.

JURY STAYS BUSY

With all the hubbub in city affairs, the jury investigating political corruption stuck manfully to its task of staying on Page One. It succeeded nobly, delving deeply into Stephensonism, Jacksonism, Duvallism, and what-have-you. A long list of witnesses, including V 7. P. Evans, former prosecutor; Robert I. Marsh, Jackson law partner and former G 4 of the klan; and James W. Noel, once attorney for Warren T. McCray, passed for review. Indictments are expected the coming week, which may hit high State officials. , s Warren T. McCray, after more than three years in Atlanta, came home to climax a week of trills for Hopsierdom. “I have paid and am coming home,” was his only message to the State which had heaped honors on him and from which he departed, convicted on a federal charge, after his castle of high finance had fallen, burying him and scores of others in its ruins.

HIGHER EDUCATION

Adding further to the gaiety of the week was the tangle over the State superintepdency of public instruction. Roy P. Wisehartrof Union City, was named to the office by Governor Jackson Wednesday, to succeed Charles F. Miller, who now is superintendent of IndianapoMc city schools. Miller won’t quit his State office till a successor pleasing to him is appointed. Wisehart has been sworn in. Miller remains at his desk and opines that he’ll stay there. The State auditor announces that he’ll send Miller his last pay check to take or to leave, as he sees fit. And so the cause of higher education goes marching on.

CAL SMACKS ’EM

Calvin Coolidge, having done his choosing, relaxed during the week to emulate the politician who goes up and down the land, kissing babies, smiling at their mothers and mitting the horny-handed sons of toil who gather to gaze at him. Meanwhile, G. O. P. leaders frantically pulled wires for Hoover, Dawes, Hughes, Longworth and other deserving chieftains who would like to reign in the White House. The week was a dull one in Democratic circles, though adherents of Jim Reed and A1 Smith continued pumping up the booms of their favorites Out of the alcoholic battlefront, Czar Lowman showed his teeth in a devasiing bite at the Canadian border liquor traffic. A dry army which he corifldently believes will sweep the frontier clean was mustered for

Spanish-American War veterans, meeting in Detroit, chose Cuba as the scene of their 1928 encampment. The American Bar Association, meeting in Buffalo, named Silas fitrawn as president Friday.

WAR IN MOVIES

A movie war that developed during the week, starting in Chicago, threatens to assume nation-wide proportions. It began with a lockout of film machine operators and the Windy City vaudeville and picture houses have been tied up since Monday. Sympathy strikes and extension of the lockout to many other cities looms. Court action is promised by the unions. "Big Bill” Thompson continued his fight to rust School Superintender. William McAndrew for “pro-British plotting,” and announced new evidence that the school chief was endeavoring to place the Chicago schools under British sway. * China continued in turmoil, with fighting renewed on several fronts, while Japan further strengthened her hold in strategic points. Tokio, during the week, began evacuation of Shatung, long under Japanese domination. Senator James A. Reed issued a call for a meeting of ids committee, in Chicago Wednesday, further to investigate alleged election frauds in Pennsylvania. Senator-elect Vare and his defeated rival, William Wilson, will be invited to attend. ■ Irwin Lockwood, publisher of the Kansas City Star, died Monday, leaving an estate of $2,500,000. W. H. Porterfield, Scrlpps-Howard editor, of San Diego, Cal., died Saturday.

DARWIN AND BILL

Sir Arthur Keith, famed British scientist, after 40 years study, announced to the British Association for the Advancement of Science that Darwin was right. At about the same time, Billy Sunday announced that he had refused a million to go Into the movies. There was said to be no connection between the statements. Almee Semple McPherson spent a quiet week, dusting off her new lighthouse. No kidnapers were sighted from the crow’s nest. Moviedom also felt the blight of a dull week.

Prince of Wales Was Not Well Versed as Infant

The Prince of Wales; a caricature by Don W’ootton. (Copyright, 1927, NEA Service. Inc.) LONDON, Sept. 3.—The presence In the North American continent of the Prince of Wales makes timely the best story ever told about him. It is new. Moreover, the Englishwoman who told It, got it right from the inside. Some years ago the late King Edward VII was quite ill and had to undergo a very severe operation. It was a success, but the surgeons and doctors did net want him to receive the premier or any of the cabinet goffleers or other high functionaries. The king made but one request. He wanted to see his favorite, Eddy, the little boy who was afterward to be the present Prince of Wales. The wise men of medicine conceded this might be granted. Properly coached as to his behavior, they did not see how the youngster could possibly harm the august patient. So one fine morning the little chap was allowed in the sick room. Bearing/in mind all the Admonitions that had been given him, he tiptoed up to the bed, kissed his dearly beloved grandfather, fondled him, and for a time held happy conversation with him in whispers. At a nod from one o i the doctors on the other side of the room, the boy understood he was now to leave. Bending over once more to reach his grandfather’s ear, the young prince whispered: “And now, dear grandpa, before I leave, may I see the baby?” The king laughed so hard he tore all the surgical stitches loose.
