FIRST ATLANTIC FLIER PREDICTS ; OCEANAIRLINE Briton Observes Ninth Anniversary Alone; Pal Killed in War. i Jly United Press LONDON, June 15.—The dean of trans-Atlantic fliers, one of the two men who made, the first trip across the ocean in an airplane, has faith in the ultimate trans-Atlantic airplane service for which he risked hi3 life as a pioneer. He is Sir Artnur Whitten Brown. K. B.

The old and new worlds had been linked by air for the first time. Gave Up Hying 'The airship service will come first,” Sir Arthur told the United Preps on the ninth anniversary of the epochal flight. I have faith in future trans-Atlantic airplane service, but not in the near future.” The man who flew across the Atlantic when Lindbergh was a school boy of 16 years is no longer in intimate touch with aviation, although he is still in the employ of the :Vickers interest, who built the first Atlantic flight plane.

The official distance of the flight from St. John’s to Clifden, on the east coast of Ireland, was 1,890 miles, covered in fifteen hours and fifty-seven minutes. Sir Arthur Whitten Brown considers luck a vital factor in aviation, he said, ‘‘but only as an addition to the utmost care in preparation and adequate knowledge of the

task to be performed. If ‘‘Lucky Lindy” implies that Lindbergh leaves things to chance it is misnomer.” Epworth League to Meet By Times Special FORTVILLE, Ind., June 15—The Muncie district Epworth League will hold a two-day annual convention here beginning Monday.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

INTERURBAN CO BUYS SPEEDY LUXURY CARS New Type Seats Only 35, Travels Sixty Miles an Hour. Announcemen of the Indianapolis Southeastern Railroad Company, that it will buy ten small, sixtymile an hour, luxurious interurban cars of an entirely new type today was interpreted by transportation men as a bold stroke by the electric railway to win back some of the short haul business taken by busses in the last five years. The I. & S. is the concern which bought out the Indianapolis & Cincinnati Traction Ca. The old heavy rolling stock will be sold as the new speedy, comfortable equipment is delivered, J. E. Ray, trainmaster, announced. Ray said that tests of the new type car during the last two weeks between here and Connersville were so successful that the order for the ten cars for delivery by August was placed. The standard intferurban car seats fifty-six. The new type seats thirtyfive. One man operates it. It carries no baggage. Separate baggage and express trains will carry luggage three times a day. Each car is built as a parlor and observation car, with clear vision in all directions. The seats are swiveled and heavily upholstered. Jarring is half that of the old type. Where the cars in use need a great distance in which to pick up speed or slow down to a stop, the new cars may be brought from a sixty-mile speed to a dead halt in 550 feet it Is said. “This,” Ray said, “will obviate

the need for the delays that characterize present traction service.” The maximum speed will be made, to give better and quicker service. “The private automobile is responsible for the decline in the traction business and where it is possible to advance a step farther than the automobile and give efficient, speedy service with the minimum of discomfort and tedious waits, the traction car again will forge to the lead,” Ray said.

Asa result, the mail along Moore’s route was delayed. Moore stepped from behind a parked machine as Lloyd wheeled by and the crash was inevitable-
