GERMAN PLANE, ACTRESS ABOARD, REACHES AZORES

AIR CREW SAFE ON FIRST LAP OF SEA DASH Offer to Take Ruth Elder on SeapJane Fails to Meet With Answer. BRAZIL FLIGHT STARTS Mrs. Grayson Again Is Held Back From Atlantic Hop by Weather. Bu United Press HORTA, Fayal, Azores Islands, Oct. 14.—The German trans-Atlantic seaplane D-1230 arrived here at 2:13 p. m. from Lisbon. Bu United Press LISBON, Oct. 14.—The Junkers seaplane D-1230 whirled into the air at 6:24 a. m. today on a flight that may end in New York. The takeoff was perfect and it was considered likely that the first stop would be made in the Azores, but there was possibility that if flying conditions were good the plane would continue on to Nova Scotir* or even New York. The Junkers aviators, at the suggestion of the United Press, yesterday radioed Ruth Elder, congratulating her on her escape and offering to fly out and take her and George Haldeman from the ship or to aid in any other possible way. No reply was received, probably due to radio transmission difficulties, so the fliers decided to continue their flight. The D-1230 carried a crew of four and the Viennese actress, Lillie Dillenz. Fritz Loose is the pilot. Several weeks ago he began a flight in a Junkers land plane to New York but had" to abandon it because of bad weather. Last week the D-1230 began the present flight at Norderney, an island in the North Sea belonging to Prussia. Bad weather forced the plane down at Amsterdam and just out of Lisbon. Start Brazil Flight Bu United Press ST. LOUIS, SENEGAL, West Africa, Oct. 14.—The French airmen Dieudonne Costes and Joseph Le Brix today started a 2,000-mile flight over the South Atlantic Ocean —a feat that has been attempted seyeral times, but, thus far, never accomplished. They took off at 6:30 a. m. in the Breguet plane Nungesser-Coli for Natal, Brazil. If successful, they plan to fly to Rio De Janeiro, Buenos Aires and other South American cities. Earlier in the week Costes and Le Brix*'flew without a stop from Le Bouget to St. Louis, a distance of approximately 2,700 miles. German Plane in Holland Bu United Press / AMSTERDAM, Holland, Oct. 14. —The Heinkel trans-Atlantic seaplane D-1220 arrived here from Wilhelmshafen, Germany, at 1:35 p. m. today. The plane, piloted by Horst Merz, started at 12:15 a. m. today from the German city en route to New York. The plane left Brunsbuettel, Germany, yesterday for Amsterdam, but came down at Wilhelmshafen for repairs.

Mrs. Grayson Delayed Bu United Press OLD ORCHARD, Me., Oct. 14Heavy winds and fog over the Atlantic held the amphibian sesquiplane The Dawn Landbound here this morning. In the face of reports of continued unfavorable weather, Mrs. Frances Wilson Grayson postponed at least until tonight the start of her projected 3,500-mile flight from Maine to Denmark. Mrs. Grayson, who has been awaiting favorable weather since Monday, had hoped to get away at low tide this morning. She arose early and conferred with Wilmer Stultz, pilot, and Bruce Goldsborough, navigator and radio operator, who will accompany her. Morning reports showed high winds and a dangerous fog along their proposed course, and it was agreed that another postponement would be necessary. The aviatrix said she was sorry, because local weather conditions had changed for the better and were satisfactory for the takeoff.

I PARIS WILD TO SEE GIRL WHO BRAVEDOCEAN City Waits Excitedly to Find Out ft Ruth Elder Will Go on to Goal. BY A. L. BRADFORD United Press Staff Correspondent PARIS, / Oct. 14.—A1l Paris hoped today that Ruth Elder and George Haldeman would come to Paris by* boat and train, now that they are unable to finish their journey by air. Interest of all Paris centered feverishly on the girl who dared the elements In spite of the lateness of the season and recent air disasters. So, Parisians awakened today, hopeful of seeing the American girl, whose beauty and personal charm has for days been stressed by Paris press. Their hopes sank yesterday, as the day passed anfl no word came of the plane and its occupants. The only reports were of the weather, and they grew increasingly disheartening. As night came a fog, swept over Le Bourget Field, adding to the gloom. Great Welcome Planned Paris had prepared a welcome for Miss Elder as enthusiastic as it had given Lindbergh. They never had any doubt that Lindbergh would arrive; they called him “Lucky Fool” and took it for granted. And by wireelss they knew that Byrd and his companions were nearing Paris. But the iack of news of the American Girl made the fate of the girl and her companion a mystery. When the crowd left the airdrome, convinced that Miss Elder never woiid be seen alive, it was with evident regret that Commander Renvoise of Le Bourget i field burned but the electric light in the stunning boudoir prepared in an airport administration buildipg for Miss Elder. Will Be Paris Idol It was a boudoir to please the <dea of even the most fastidious woman, with a cushion-covered divan inviting the rest that surely would have been needed; an adjoining table with a dish of fruit

Slays Girl and Self Because Daughter Died Bu United Press MT. CLEMENS, Mich., Oct. 14.—A triple funeral here today rang down the curtain on a somber tragedy of Serbian peasant life in an American setting. The bodies were those of Mrs. Katerina Galetion, 50; her daughter, Henetta. and her daughter-in-law, Dorothy, both aged 16. Ds?bthy was accustomed to assist the elder woman, a widow, in the fields. Since her child was born two months ago she has been ill. That made It necessary for Henetta to do her work. The heavy labor induced illness and Henetta was taken to a hospital, where she died Tuesday night on her sixteenth birthday. Crazed with grief, Mrs. Galetich held her daughter-in-law’s inability to work responsible for the death of her own daughter. Wednesday she took a gun and killed Dorothy. Then she went "into a barn and untied a white mare to get a rope with which to hang herself. In the presence of her 4-year-old daughter she stood on a milking stool, slipped the noose around her- neck, threw the other end over a beam and kicked the stool away. Emil Galetich, a son, was making arrangements for his sister’s funeral when the murder and suicide occurred.

and a vase of flowers, and after rest and food, there were on a dressing table rows of powders and toilet articles. Haldeman had been almost overlooked in the preparations, for all were interested in Miss Elder. Without a doubt, she will become the idol of Paris if she comes here. As an indication of .the interest in the flight, the commander of the steamship President Harding hastened the landing of passengers at Cherbourg who gathered at the Maritime station while one of them telephone to Le Bourget for news.' Britons Are Critical By United Press LONDON, Oct. 14.—London newspapers today congratulated Ruth Elder and George Haldeman on their escape, but were severely critical of the attempt to cross the Atlantic at this time of year. It was estimated here that the monoplane American Girl came down about 500 miles northeast of the Azores, or about 800 miles west of the wireless station and lighthouse at Ushant, on the French coast near Brest. The American ■ Girl was slightly south of her scheduled course to Paris. As evidence of the intense interest of Britishers in the fate of the two Americans, a number of the .evening papers published extras as late as 8 o’clock last night—something done only very rarely, for the biggest news.

EARL CARROLL. TO FACE BOARD Convicted Theater Man Lives Apart From Prisoners. Bu United Press ATLANTA, Ga., Oct. 14.—Living a life apart from 150 other prisoners on the Federal penitentiary farm here, Earl Carroll, theatrical producer, convicted of perjury, awaited today a visit from the parole board. Whether the visit will lead to a recommendation for parole for the man convicted of perjuring himself in testimony bearing on his famous bathtub party, Warden John W. Snook, member of the board, did not indicate in announcing the proposed visit. It was learned today, however, that Carroll has been permitted to keep aloof in his off hours from the other prisoners at the honor farm, and that while he occasionally works in the fields, he sleeps in a private cottage near the prison farm office. Records of more than 100 applicants for parole. Including Carroll’s, were examined bV the board yesterday. According to a French surgeon, salt eventually dries up and hardens the muscular tissues.

STATE REFUSES TO CHANGE BUS MERGERORBER Transcript of Ruling Denying Purchase to Be Returned to Court. The Public service Commission, at a special meeting today, voted not to change its order denying the Indianapolis Street Railway Company permission to buy the stock of the Peoples Motor Coach Company for $500,000. This means that the transcript of evidence heard by Circuit Judge Harry O. Chamberlin on the appeal of the street car company against the commission's order will be returned to the court and Chamberlin will rule in five days upholding or reversing the commission’s order.'' Refuse Merger Twice The Public Service Commission twice refused the street car-bus merger on the grounds that $500,000 was too high a price for the bus company. Under the Nejdl law of the last Legislature the street car company appealed to Circuit Court. Transcript of the court testimony was sent to the commission, so that it might change its order, if it desired, before the court acts. John W f McCardle, former commission chairman, did not vote today. The other four commission members voted to stick to their previous refusal orders. Stock Is Not Shown A. Smith Bowman, motor coach president, and Mrs. Bowman refused to show their certificates of stock in the bus company, the communication to the court said, and indicated that Bowman already has sold his control of the company. It also points out that the street car company still intends to pay 8 per cent for the $500,000 it must borrow to buy the ousses, and declares that while the bus company made $6,493 in the first seven months of 1927, the history of tha street car company does not indicate it could operate the bus lines and make a net profit, above interest charges on the $500,000.
