Illinois St,, and overflowed to the sidewalk during brief funeral services for the four this morning. Services were conducted by Mr. Alvin G. Swank, Christian Science reader. Mrs. Charlotte Kendrick sang “O Gentle Presence, Peace and Joy and Power” by Mary Baker* Eddy, Christian Science founder. ‘‘And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain; for the former things are passed away,” Mr. Swank read from Revelations, and Mr. and Mrs. Pauley and Mrs. Glascock bore up stoically. Mason Rites at Grave'' The long funeral procession led by a squad of Indianapolis and State motor police, followed by the four hearses wound through Indianapolis streets and out E. Washington St. to the cemetery near Cumberland. Solemn Masonic rites at the grave concluded all that human reverence could do for the bereaved families, as the relatives turned away from the graves to take up the solemn task of burying four more relatives. Bury Ralph W. Parker “In life, in brotherhood and in death," intoned the master, and the body of Ralph W. Parker was lowered to its final restifig place today. As the last notes of a bugle floated through the quiet autumn stretches of down Hill Cemetery, the silence was broken by a volley of shots by the firing squad from Company L, 11th Infantry, of Ft. Benjamin Harrison. Parker was a World War veteran. Masons of Prospect lodge JNo. 714, F. & A. M., wearing their white aprons symbolic of the Blue lodge, and Grotto members distinguished by their black fezes, filed slowly past the grave.

Woman Flier Lands When Load on Amphibian Is Found Too Heavy. By United Press OLD ORCHARD, Maine, Oct. 17. —Mrs. Frances W. Grayson’s plane, The Dawn, made an uncuccessful start for Copenhagen from the beach here today. After a good takeoff at 9:31 a. m. the plane returned to the beach a few minutes later and landed. It appeared that the plane had proved too heavy, as what seemed to be gasoline came from the craft as it soared overhead. Despite an over-heavy load, the plane made a perfect landing about 500 yards from the hangar of Capt. Harry M. Jones, where a large crowd had gathered to see the fliers off. Have Trouble in Air It had been evident to spectators long before the forced descent that the fliers, Mrs. Grayson, Wilmer stultz, the pilot, and Brice Goldsborough, navigator, were having trouble with the 11,500-pound plane Goldsborough was the first to climb from the plane. He assisted Mrs. Grayson from the cabin. Stultz followed. “We had too much of a load, Mrs. Graysc i said. “We are going to shift about fifty gallons of our emergency gasoline supply from the nose of the plane to the rear. Confident of Success “The heavy load in the nose kept pulling us down. I thought we were going to have to land in the water.” Indications were that there would be a takeoff later today. Mrs. Grayson, clad in a sporty aviator’s costume, was as confident as ever that her proposed 3,500mile flight would succeed. She seemed not the least affgpted by the misbehavior of the Dawn under an excessive load. “I’m sure it will be all right as soon as we readjust the load,” she insisted. There was much bustling about the hotel here near dawn, as fresh sandwiches, soup and coffee were prepared for flying rations. An additional supply of concentrated food in waterproof containers already is aboard the giant Sikorsky amphibian plane. This will be used in case of mishap at sea. None of the flying trio seemed concerned about .success of the trans-Atlantic attempt. They believe the plane will remain afloat several days if forced down. Accordingly, they carried no rubber lifeboats or life-saving suits.

2 WOMEN ARE ACCEPTED FOR OIL PLOT JURY Teapot Dome Trial Opens at Washington; Both Sides Ready. SINCLAIR IS SMILING Fall in Courtroom With His Wife, Daughter; Great Legal Array. By United Press WASHINGTON, Oct. 17.—The Fall-Sinclair oil conspiracy trial opened here today. Former Secretary of Interior Fall, characterized in a United States Court decision last week as a “faithless public officer,” went on trial with Harry F. Sinclair, oil magnate, on charges of seeking to defraud the Government in the Teapot Dome oil lease case. The Government will try to prove that Sinclair furnished in 1922 more than $200,000 in Liberty bonds to Fall and his relatives after the favorable lease had been made him by Fall. Two Women on Jury Panel Both the prosecution and defense announced they were ready when summoned to the bar by Justice Frederick L. Siddons of the District of Columbia supreme—and the famous Teapot Dome case was formally started. The defendants, Sinclair and Fall, were seated in the midst of a million dollar array of legal talent. Mrs. Annela Bailey, who works for a piano company, and Miss Bernice Heaton, instructor in the telephone office, tentatively were accepted by both prosecution and defense as jurors. The two women were among the first four veniremen examined. Two men quicly were barred because they had read of the case and admitted they had formed a definite opinion of the “guilt or innocence” of the defendants. Sinclair Is Smiling Sinclair, dressed in a dark blue business suit, walked into court a few minutes before it opened, and shook hands smilingly with acquaintances. He wore a soft collar and tan shirt with a modest tie. He took a seat beside his chief counsel, Martin B. Littleton. Fall came in tht rear door, with his daughter and wife. The women were escorted to the back of the courtroom while Fall stepped into an ante chamber for a conference. He wore a gray business suit, gold rimmed spectacles and a black shoestring tie. Woman Is Questioned The usual formalities of selecting the first panel of twenty-eight talesmen required but a few moments. Then Peyton Gordon, district attorney, began examination of Mrs. Bailey, a pretty woman with dark bobbed hair and plain gray coat over a dark blue dress. Mrs. Bailey said she “did not know that she knew” anything about the great oil case. She never read anything about the case that caused her to form any opinion about the case. Under examination by George P. Hoover, Sinclair’s counsel, Mrs. Bailey said she had noticed in newspapers recently that the trial was to begin, but she never paid much attention. Just Glanced at Paper William E. Leahy, attorney for Fall, found no objection to her and Mrs. Bailey was seated tentatively as the first prospective juror. Miss Bernice Heaton, a long distance instructor with the telephone company, said she did not know any reason why she should not sit as a juror and she was tentatively accepted. “I just glanced through the papers and I didn’t pay much attention to them,” she told Attorney Hoover. 150 Will Testify About 150 witnesses are expected to testify in the three to six weeks the trial may consume. Witnesses are to include Harry M. Daugherty, former attorney general; Edwin Denby, former secretary of the Navy; who with Fall signed the Teapot lease; Secretary of the Navy Wilbur, Senator Thomas J. Walsh, who prosecuted the Senate inquiry; Navy and Interior Department officials, who took part in the leasing negotiations, and bankers of New York, Colorado and New Mexico.

C. OF C. GALLS FORM SLASH Issue Taken With Program of Coolidge. Full Program of Meeting on Page *. Bu Times Special WEST BADEN, Ind., Oct. 17. “Surpluses so large as those realized by the Federal Government in recent years necessarily mean that the taxpayer is paying more than is necessary to meet current expenses of the Government,” Lewis E. Pierson, Chamber of Commerce of the United States president, today said in explanation of the National Chamber’s announced fight for lower taxes when Congress convenes in December. “Notwithstanding mounting surpasses in our National treasury, we have continued three types of taxation on our statute books which have no place in a peacetime revenue program,” Pierson said, taking issue with President Coolidge’s plan. Corporation income tax, petty “war” taxes and Federal inheritance taxes constitute the three objectionable levies, he asserted. “The national chamber Insists that Congress grant the country further tax reduction—a reduction that considers both the revenue needs of government and justice of an equitable spread of the tax burden; a reduction, in short, that will more nearly balance national revenues with national expenditures,” Pierson said.
