Aviation SEA FLIGHTS TO BE MERE PLAY, BLERIOT THINKS Ocean Heps Will Be Made as Easy as Channel Trips, He Asserts. BY SA.MIEL IJASIIIELL tmtrd Prr,s '•taff i rrespundtnt PARIS. July 2.j -The twenty! Scars which have followed Louis: Blend's caring flight across the: English channel in a frail mono- j piam- on J: v 25. 1909 nave seen the acre-plant stow from a toy to ® prr v n vehicle of commercial transport. Bleriot in an exclusive interview tooay predicted that long before the non span of twenty years! is pa , mail pianes will hop off almo: • hourly from Paris lor New York flying aiong a lane of floating islands like stepping stones * France and England teylay feted Bleriot in celebration of his historic flight, the forerunner of the 1 daily mail and pasenger service j which has existed since the war be- ! tween Paris and London. Future Is Magnificent The uture of aviation ir magnificent," M. Bleriot said. “I am convinced that withni a few years we will be flying between Europe and America as easily as we fly across the channel today. “The formula in which I put my conviction, for a successful transAtlantic flying service in all kinds of weather, calls for floating islands spaced from 300 to 400 miles apart along the Great Circle. ‘ They will be linked by a Herzian system and the planes can be guided even in fog without any danger. "Eight, islands should be sufficient, being several hours apart in flying time. Such a scheme would present all the necessary guarantees of security for passengers and pilots. Need Huge Pianes “Postal planes could easily follow the natural route by way of the Azores and Bermuda, but they must be multi-motored planes capable of great speed and carrying a heavy load of fuel in addition to a heavy load of mail, large enough to pay their way/’ Bleriot then announced for the fust time that his factories are now completing such a multi-motored plane with which he intends to blaze a postal trail along that route. “I just am finishing a fourmotored plane with a force of 1.000horse power, designed to carry more than half a ton of mail or freight. "Our motors present an innovation in airplane construction, being six cylinders in line, and they are giving us our only trouble at present,” he said. Graf Zep to Be Tested FRIEDRICHSHAFEN, July 25. The huge German dirigible. Graf Zeppelin, next Friday will have its first test in the air since the new motors were installed, following its recent frustrated attempt to fly to America. The airship will remain aloft only two hours. On Saturday, however, the big bag will go up for a twelve-hour test. Should everything prove satisfactory it is expected the flight to Lake hurst. N. J.. will be made a week or ten days later, to be followed upon its return here by its projected flight around the world. City on Air Tour The Indianapolis Chamber of Commerce today was informed by the Jackson -Mich.) Chamber of Commerce that this city will be on the air itinerary of a five-passenger Stinson-Detroit, which will make a tour of mid-western state capitals within the next month. The plane will be provided by the SparksWithington Company of Jackson. Captain William Sparks will be among the passengers. Indiana Boiler in Airship Boilers for the all-metal steam dirigible now being built at Glendale. Cal., have been manufactured by the Bryan Steam Corporation of pera. Inn.. William H. Arnett, managing director of the Indiana State Chamber of Commerce, announced. The giant *hip. when completed, will make its first flight from Los Angeles to New York, and George A. Bryan, president of the Peru corporation, will be a passenger. Circular Airport Sought Four features in the development of the municipal airport are embodied in a resolution adopted by the Indianapolis Solo Club, to be submitted to the board of public works. The club ask'd that the airport be circular in iorm and be developed as an industrial center rather than a mere landing field: that a wide approach to the port be made, leading directly southward from the National road: that construction be started as soon as possible on an administration building: and the interior of the gigantic circle, as called for in the plan, be hard surfaced, so that the port will be available in all seasons for the largest transport planes. This program of development was outlined at a meeting of the Solo club Wednesday night at the Columbia Club. Mayor L. Ert Slack is said to fa vor the circular plan Speakers declared that the rectangular arrangement necessitates costly runways on which, when winds shift, the planes always can not land and tafTeoff safely.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

ADAMS TRUSTEE IMPEACHMENT TRIAL DELAYED Postponement Will Hold Up Building of Sheridan High School. Attorney-General James E. Ogden was notified today that the impeachment trial of Ingle R. Harris, Adams township trustee, Hamilton county, again has been postponed in circuit court at Tipton, Ind. To the long-suffering residents of Sheridan, Ind., this means that their children will go through another school year without high school facilities. Their anxiety has reached such a | point that they are reported to be circulating a petition to drop the impeachment charges, even though they think Harris may be guilty, so that they can sell the bonds to finance the new school building. Although contracted for. the bonds C 5167,000 worth approved by the state tax board) have never been sold because of the Harris impeachment proceedings clouding the issuance of them. The impeachment was launched as the result of a report filed by r’-A-.-v-'i-o, xjre M. Frazer and William P. Cosgrove with the state

board of accounts in November, 1928. The report covered Harris’ conduct of office from Jan. 1 to 1 Sept. 15, 1928. It disclosed that no adequate recI ord of receipts or disbursements was j kept, a $l6B shortage in the dog tax fund being made up by Harris when ! discovered. Supplies were purchased without j bidding and a school hauling conj tract awarded so that Harris eventually got the truck. Selling of coal from his own firm to the township, also was charged. Tires and tubes, purchased out of township funds, were not accounted for, and anew school site in ! Sheridan was bought and architects ; fees paid from irregular appropriations. the report set out. The result was a grand jury investigation which launched imI peachment proceedings. They were first seet for July 1 in Hamilton ! circuit court, then extension of time ; was granted and venue taken to Tipton circuit court. Date for trial was set there for Aug. 10, and Ogden assigned George W. Hufsmith, deputy attorney-general, to represent the state. Now postponement until Sept. 20 has been granted. In the meantime a cellar has been dug fqv the Sheridan school, but the work halted for lack of funds. Since the old school burned down, Jan. 30, 1928, the high school pupils have been scattered in classes in basements throughout the city. Clara Bow Loses §4,000 Brooch HOLLYWOOD.
