LONDON ROARS WELCOME TO BOSTON AVIATRIX AND HER FLYING COMPANIONS

Amelia Earhart Cheered to Echo by Thousands at Motor Trip End. STOPS IN SOUTHAMPTON Flight Made From Wales to English Port in Two Hours. B" United Press LONDON, June 19.—Miss Amelia Earhart, Wilmer Stultz and Lou Gordon arrived in London at 6:20 p. m. today, and were accorded an uproarious greeting by thousands ol people who cheered them as they went to the Hyde Park Hotel, after a motor trip from Southampton. BY SIDNEY J. WILLIAMS United Tress Staff Correspondent WOOLSTON, England, June 19. Miss Amelia Earhart’s airplane Friendship landed in Southampton water here amid a roar of cheers at 7:20 a. m. (Eastern Standard Time), after making a 135-mile flight from Burryport in 2 hours, 3 minutes. The Friendship came down gently in Southampton water 500 yards offshore, amid a continuous roar of cheers from persons ashore and in boats, and the din of hundreds of ship’s sirens and whistles from the great dock district. Stultz, at the controls, taxied the plane the 500 yards up to the imperial airway seaplane dock. Several motorboats assisted in towing the Friendship to the dock. Landing Is Faultless The whole landing was effected faultlessly, from the time the big plane came into sight and circled over Southampton water. Miss Earhart was smiling but pale when she stepped ashore. She seemed exhausted. As she stepped on the dock, she was presented with an immense bouquet of carnations Drected in a biscuit colored pullover sweater, a red necktie, dark riding breeches and black high boots, Miss Earhart, by now looking less tired than on her arrival, received newspaper men before she left for London. “My big moments on the whole flight,” she said, “were when we sighted the liner America south of Ireland, and when Stultz announced that there was gasoline sufficient only for another hour’s flying. “But I think my real thrill came when we sighted land. Praise for Stultz “I believe most Atlantic fliers who have been lost have failed because they did not know how to fly by instruments alone, but Stultz is exceptionally qualified in such flying. "I am not trying to earn any money by my flight. I just am interested in aviation. This is my vacation. I intend to see England especially the royal race meeting at Ascot.” Only five minutes before its perfect ianding, the Friendship had been sighted rising over the northwestern horizon and making, with its supermarine pilot seaplane in the lead, toward the landing spot. Throngs Rush to Scene Workmen rushed from all over the surrounding area during their lunch periods, and school children turned out in a body. Special motorbus parties from all through the nearby country were arriving momentarily. , . , News that the fliers had left Burryport was disseminated by the United Press and spread rapidly. The crowd converged on the imperial airways landing stage at the waterside, Jamming nearby streets, and forcing police to adopt emergency regulations to control it. Dozens of automobiles rushed towards the scene. The American flag was hoisted on the mast over the landing stage and the first of many cheers went up from the crowd.

All Credit for Success of Atlantic Flight Given to Stultz, Gordon. WEARY AFTER JOURNEY Only a Passenger on Trip, Didn’t Touch Controls, She Says. BY KEITH JONES United Press Staff Correspondsnt PEMBR EY. Carmarthenshire, Wales, June 19.—Miss Amelia Earhart gives all the credit for being the first woman to fly across the Atlantic to her two male companions—Wilmer Stultz and Lou Gordon—would make such a flight again and ventured the opinion she would be willing to make a westward crossing’ of the Atlantic “provided we have the right machine and proper instruments.” Interviewed at the Ashurham Hotel, where she spent Monday night after the daring flight from North America, Miss Earhart told the United Press she had perfect confidence throughout the flight that she would be successful in her desire to be the first woman to cross the Atlantic. “I had complete confidence in my companions,” she told me. Praises Two Companions Miss Earhart was radiant when she reached the hotel here Monday night, despite that tired lines streaked her slender and youthful face. There was a gay bit of laughter as she showed her complete baggage—one toothbrush. Her first comment was to cast praise from herselfe to her two male colleagues on this daring flight through fog and rain and which was ended by fuel shortage in this obscure Welsh territory. “I want to make it clear that I was a passenger on the entire trip,” she told the United Press. “I did not handle the controls once. Conditions were so poor we were forced to fly by instruments and as I had no practice in instrument flying I did not want to risk the lives of the others and myself.” First Pontoon Plane The scientific value of this flight, in her observation were: “Commander Richard E. Byrd said that the next Trans-Atlantic flight was to prove the practicability of a trans-Atlantic flight with an airplane fitted with pontoons. We have accomplished that.” She was asked concerning her future plans. “At present I do not know our future plans. Two things I do know. There will be no movies and there j will be no lectures.” She was willing and eager for another trans-Atlantic flight and would consider a westward crossing, that feat which only Baron Gunther Von Huenefeld, Capt. Herman Koehl and Maj. James Fitzmaurice have succeeded in. Willing to Cross Again i “I enjoyed every minute of the flight and naturally am mighty proud,” she said. “I certainly would attempt the flight again and would try a westward crossing provided I had the right sort of machine and instruments.” Gordon, however, did not share Miss Earhart’s enthusiasm for another crossing. “I do not think I would care to try another flight. Once is enough,” the mechanic said. Both Gordon and Stultz appeared more fatigued than Miss Earhart. They had been at the controls through the entire flight of about twenty hours and thirty minutes.

Too Cool n tt Three-Day Downpour Keeps Coolidge Away From His Fishing.

BY ROBERT MOOREFIELD United Press Staff Correspondent SUPERIOR, Wis., June 19. President Coolidge may have to spend his Wisconsin vacation either indoors or in a sou’wester. Rain has fallen almost continually for three days, and Monday was so inclement that the President was forced to postpone his first visit to the executive offices here. He remained at Cedar Island lodge, spending a few moments patrolling his island home in an oil skin. Secretarial workers and newspaper correspondents here wagered among themselves at odds of three to one, that It would snow within the next twenty-four hours. The temperature sank below forty degrees Monday night. “When does It get summer here?” a resident of Superior was asked. “I don't know,” he said. “I’ve only been here eighteen months.” B B B ALTHOUGH mail and official matters have accumulated on the President’s desk, Mr. Coolidge has not been disposed to resume his business routine. That the President is here only for a rest, and is making the most of his vacation, was indicated by the fact he has not left Cedar Island lodge since his arrival there Friday. Reports that Mr. Coolidge had chosen Wisconsin, seat of the Republican insurgent movement, as his summer home for reasons of political expediency have been shown to be without significance. Those close t 6 the executive have advised him to remain in the seclusion of Cedar Island lodge and to attempt no official duties until completely rested from the fatigue and worry caused by the last six months’ work. BBS Everett SANDERS, the President's secretary, has been arranging a tentative schedule that will bring Mr. Coolidge into Superior only three times a week, and possibly less during the first few weeks. Although his Washington schedule called for press conferences each Tuesday and Friday, it now is planned to hold only one a week. Chairman William Butler of the Republican national committee, who was a guest at the lodge Monday, remained overnight. His visit was regarded more as a personal call than as one of political significance. Butler gave the President a detailed account of the Kansas City convention.

16 MARYLAND DELEGATES GO TO AL SMITH Ceded to New Yorker by Governor Ritchie; See Houston Landslide. VIRGINIA ACTS TODAY Twenty-Four Votes Will Be Instructed; Puzzle on Vice President. BY HERBERT LITTLE United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON. June 19.—Followers of Governor Alfred E. Smith today hailed the sixteen votes of Maryland, ceded by Governor Albert C. Ritchie, as assuring the nomination of their candidate at Houston next week. Maryland’s sixteen votes will give Smith more than 700 on the first ballot, they claimed. To nominate, 733 1-3 are needed, and the others will be forthcoming on an early ballot, it was said. Ritchie has not been an avowed candidate, but his campaign for State’s rights, and his outspoken disapproval of prohibition, has gained him a nation-wide reputation. Virginia Selecting Delegate* The Maryland Democratic convention instructed the delegates for him, and in the early stages of the campaign before Smith gained strength there were many who believed this old-style Jeffersonian Democrat would make a better votegetter than the New York Governor. Twenty-four Democratic delegates, the last to be named, are being selected today in Virginia, and Smith men today foresaw possibility of a landslide of the proportions of Hoover’s in the Kansas City convention, if Smith gets most of the Virginia votes. However, it generally was believed here that the followers of Senator James A. Reed, of Missouri, would carry their fight to the convention | balloting before quitting. Possibilities for the vice presidential nomination at Houston came to the fore today in the wake of Ritchie’s announcement at Baltimore. Ritchie told the United Press he did not expect the nomination for vice president, and would not accept it if tendered; if Smith is named, the Democrats are expected to turn to the Middle West, as the Republicans did, for a running mate. Claude Bowers Mentioned Huston Thompson, former Federal Trade Commissioner; Senator Walsh of Montana, and Maj.-Gen Henry T. Allen of Kentucky, are among the westerners mentioned for second place. Many of Walsh’s friends believe he would not accept, however, and two Catholics on the ticket admittedly would be too much of a strain for the party. Claude Bowers of Indiana 4 and New York, the Democratic keynoter who rose to fame in his party in a single oratorical attempt—his speech at the Jackson day dinner here last spring—also is mentioned as a vice presidential possibility. ’ Jesse J.

INDIANA AND OHIO STORM TAKES TOLL OF MILLION; FLOOD PERILS SOUTHWEST

Two States Are Heavily Damaged by Violent Wind and Rains. MORE THAN 20 INJURED Houses Blown Down; Roads Made Impassable; Wire Service Halted. Bp United Press COLUMBUS, Ohio, June 19. Cyclonic winds which swept Ohio and Indiana late yesterday injured a score of people, four seriously, and caused property damage estimated at more than $1,000,000. Rescue crews were searching today for dead and injured near Marietta Ohio. The section hardest hit by the gale was at Buckeye Lake, near Newark, Ohio, where thirty cottages were demolished and a dozen persons were injured oy falling timbers and flying debris. Almost a million dollars damage was done in Washington County alone, where the storm swept in a straight line for twelve miles, demolishing everything its its path. Roads were blocked by uprooted trees and fallen telephone poles, and electric transportation was disrupted for hours. Homes Are Destroyed Homes were destroyed, utility ! properties were razed, barns were swept across the countryside, thousands of trees were uprooted, and heavy damage resulted to growing crops. Scarcely a building in the little village of Whipple, Ohio, escaped : damage. Hery Erb, postmaster of the town, crushed by a falling wall, j was not expected to live. The home of Cornelius Schwen- | derman, Lowell. Ohio, was picked up j by the wind and carried 200 feet be- j fore it was dropped into a creek. Schwenderman’s infant daughter as injured crtically and is not expected to live. Wide Swath Cut Near Newark a swath 100 feet wide was cut for several hundred yards, including the Buckeye Lake summer resort, in its path. The cottages of the resort were destroyed like eggshells and yachts on the lake were crumpled and sunk like toys. The summer kitchen of tt farm house near there was picked up and blown along for 100 feet. A baby girl and her grandfather in the kitchen at the time were injured seriously. One cottage was swung bodily off the ground and tossed into the lake by the terrific gale. However, it was uninhabitated.

Indiana Hard Hit Injuries to persons, death of many cattle and heavy property damage resulted from storms that swept southern Indiana Monday. In some instances the wind was of tornado proportions. Two members of the family of Joe Dupper. a farmer living two and one-half miles northwest of Ireland, in Dubois County, were injured seriously when a windstorm wrecked the home and barn. Mrs. Dupper sustained severe head and body injuries and a 10-year-old daughter also was injured seriously. Business buildings, homes and barns were damaged at Fairbanks, Sullivan County. The town was in darkness, the wind having blown down electric light poles and wires. No one was injured. Cattle were killed in thp rural district surrounding Ft. Branch, Gibson County, and in the northern section of the town several residences were damaged. Lightning which struck the buckskin plant at Evansville caused damage of several hundred dollars, having burned out wiring and other electrical equipment. Farm lands in this section of Indiana are menaced as heavy rains send streams out of banks.

Rivers of Missouri and Kansas Threaten Vast Farming Area. DEATH LIST IS EIGHT Hundreds of Volunteers at Work to Hold Levees Against Torrents. Bn United Press KANSAS CITY. Mo„ June 19. Threatening to spread over additional thousands of acres under cultivation, rivers in the Southwest continued their rise today, with little prospect of a letdown for several days. Clouded skies and unsettled weather greeted sections long wearied by annual floods that wash out crops in the lowlands. Weather forecasts for Missouri, Arkansas. Oklahoma and Kansas, centers of the flooded areas, promised only unsettled weather for the next two days. With the rivers, for the most part, rising gradually, ample warning has been given, so that no loss of life from floods has been reported thus far. The death toll stands at eight, seven of whom were killed in Oklahoma’s tornado of Saturday. Tornado Hits Missouri A tornado that struck in a farming community between Mound City and Oregon. Mo., last night killed one, injured three and caused considerable property damage. Mrs. Marion Matlock, 36, was injured fatally when her farm home was demolished. Her husband and one child also were injured. Several other rural centers in the neighborhood felt the effects of the storm. Scores of farm buildings were demolished. The fight to bolster weakening levees in Missouri and Arkansas continued today, as heavy rains occurred to the north. Workers toiled all yesterday on broken dikes near Campbell, in southeastern Missouri, where the St. Francis River already has covered one-third of Dunklin County approximately 100,000 acres. Land Swallowed Three crevasses in the dikes of the St. Francis have swallowed up much cultivated land near its banks. United States engineers were concentrating their efforts on a weak section of the levee of White River south of Stephens, where a break occurred Friday. Additional rains in the upper reaches of the river gave little hope of an immediate fall. While conditions on the Walnut and Arkansas Rivers near Winfield and Arkansas seemed to have improved slightly, the Verdigris River, near Independence, Kan., was on a rampage, with lowlahds flooded. In the area near Blair and Headrick, Okla., where a tornado struck late Saturday, the State health department took precautionary measures to prevent spread of typhoid. Red Cross headquarters there appealed for a relief fund of $25,099 to aid the 2,000 homeless. Hundreds of head of livestock lay dead in fields.
