THREE WEEKS, ROBIN’S GOAL ON 15TH DAY St. Louis Plane Ends 338 Hours With Two Fliers Optimistic. ! RED' GREETS PARENTS Pa and Ma Jackson Get Note ‘Everything Is Fine' From Son. r ST. LOUIS, Mo- July 27 —Completing a fortnight in the air with as much apparent ease as it did the first day. the St. Louis Robin attained 338 consecutive hours at 9:17 a. m. today. “Good for another week at least, was the assurance sent down by its co-pilots. D3le Jackson and Forest O Brine. Arthur Nutt, chief engineer of the Curtiss Aeroplane and Motor Company, said: “I came here from Buffalo to see the St. Louis Robin land, but I'm going home to get in a couple of day's work and return sometime next week.’ Weather Holds Calm Everyone appeared to feel the same way about this longest flight in history and as the weather held unbelievably calm the fliers' goal of “three weeks, 504 hours" was taken seriously. Red Jackson summed up the situation in a fourteen-word note to liis parents. Mr. and Mrs. Henry -Shucks* Jack§on. who flew here yesterday from their dairy home at Fairbault, Minn. “Everything is fine." he told them, -but you'll have to wait a long time to see us.'' The Jacksons, a bit air-sick, but fully determined to go through with the matter, arrived 0 ,- er the field at 4:30 p. m. in a borrowed plane labeled “Spirit of Fairbault" and beaming the inscription: “Hello son! Here is Pa & Ma Jackson." Son Greets Parents The Robin fliers waved greetings to the “Spirit cf Fairbault” as the visitors zoomed and circled around the endurance plane. On landing, the- Jacksons were met. by Mrs. Sally Jackson, their daughter-in-law whom they never before had met as Dale's wife, and by Mrs. Elsie O'Brine. Asked about Red's marriage. Mrs. Jackson said be bad brought his wife home for a visit without saying anything about the wedding and added: “They flew away right soon. I guess Dale was too bashful." Dale Flew Secretly The elder Jackson was immediately spotted at the field for his close resemblance to his son. He volunteered the information Red had been flying about six months before any of us knew anything about it.” A congratulatory telegram from Governor Henry S. Caulfield of Missouri reads: “Heartiest. congratulations on your wonderful achievement.. Missouri is proud of you." In addition to piling up the hours as no pilots ever have done before, Jackson and O'Brine are stocking up the dollars for themselves, in special flying awards, which now total more than SIO,OOO. They have flown more than twenty thousand miles since they went aloft, at 7:17 a. m. Saturday. July 13. The fact their thirteenth day ended on Friday appeared to make no difference whatever.

FRANGE MAY NAME BRIAND NEW PREMIER Poincare Quits His Post Despite Pleas That He Remain at Job. BY SAMUEL DASHIELL United Press Staff Correspondent FARIS. July 27.—Raymond Poincare resigned as premier of the French republic today, in spite of the pleas of his colleagues that he remain at the head of the government. s. After Poincare refused to be swayed from his inflexible determination to resign, the whole French cabinet handed in its resignation to President Doumergue. Aristide Briand, minister of foreign affairs, and Louis Barthou, minister of justice, visited the premier at his home in an effort to induce him to withdraw his resignation. They pleaded with Poincare for twenty-five minutes. When they saw that their efforts were futile they departed for Elysee palace, where they conferred with President Doumergue. Briand May Take Place In keeping with* tradition. President Doumergue summoned the presidents of the senate and the chamber of deputies to Elysee palace for a conference today regarding the chbice of anew premier for the republic and the formation of anew cabinet. The United Press authoritatively was informed that the President would summon Briand this evening to form anew government. It was asserted also that in the event Briand is chosen for the task he would include radicals and radical socialists in his government. Briand and Doumergue conferred for thirty minutes at the Elysee palace, after which they both told the United Press that Briand and Barthou had pressed Poincare earnestly to remain at the head of the government, but that he was staunch in his refusal. N Worn from his campaign to induce the parliament to ratify the war debt agreements between France and her principal creditors the United States and Great Britain. and faced by an operation for prostatic trouble, Poincare was determined in his resolve to resign from the head of the government. Needs Absolute Rest The former premier told Barthou and Briand that much as he desired to collaborate with them in the restoration of France his health demanded that he resign from his post and rest for several months He saided he needed absolute rest, a thing he could not get. he explained, if he remained premier, even inactively. The crisis came at. a, time when the opposition parties were meeting to consider possibility of sending a petition to the president to hold a special session of the chamber of deputies. The manner in which the dcbi. accord ratifications were “railroaded throught" the chamber and senate, and the alleged dictatorial way in which Minister of Justice Barthou closed the session Friday were said to have united all the radical members of the left groups with the result that they may demand representation in the next cabinet, The issues at staVw on the eve of the international conference, it was said today, require tacit continuance of the program mapped out by Poincare.

‘Tactless Texan ’ Cannot Find Beer; Buys Uniforms Bu United Pres* , AMARILLO. Tex, July 27.—Unable to produce “three dozen bottles of Berger beer," as he was ordered to do by the mayor of Borger. Tex, Gene Howe, editor, otherwise known as “Kernel Erasmus Tack the Tactless Texan." today had promised to provide new uniforms for members of the police department, of that. city. Howe was arrested at Borger several days ago while there on a booster trip with the Amarillo Chamber of Commerce and given the unique sentence because of alleged slanderous statements he had made about bootlegging conditions in Borger. “After a thorough and personal investigation I must admit there aren't three dozen bottles of home-made beer in Borger." he admitted. “and since I am prohibited from substituting any other kind of beer. I will make a present of a brand-new uniform to each member of your city's efficient police force."

ident, tbe politicians who demoralized the government enforcement staff, the ‘'higher ups" who protected crooked officers, the internal dissension that broke down the morale, the uphill fight to clean out the crooks, hard-won cases, the victory of Miami, damming the big leaks, the war with the racketeers, battle with run runners, make up a thrilling tale. Is prohibition enforcible ? Is the government winning ? What is the outlook ? These and many other vital questions are answered in this remarkable series, beginning Aug. 5, in The Times.

SNOOK’S OWN STORY TO BE TRIALCLIMAX Dramatic Possibilities of Co-Ed Murder Case Are Many, BY MORRIS DE HAVEN TRACY United Pres* Staff Correspondent COLUMBUS. 0.. July 27.—The supreme effort to prevent conviction of Dr. James H. Snook for the alleged murder of Theora Hix, may be made by Dr. Snook himself. Although medical experts will testify for him. his wife may give evidence and also his mother, there was reason to believe today that the main case of the .defense will be built upon the story to be told by the former Ohio State university professor himself. His attorneys, who last week would admit they “expected Dr. Snook would testify.” did not reiterate that assertion today,’ but made no denial of any change in plans. Three-Fold Defense The defense Is to be built, unless the entire program is altered, upon a three-fold plea of self-defense, emotional insanity and the claim that Miss Hix herself administered or acquiesced in the administration of drugs to Dr. Snook, causing him to go temporarily mad. Snook's appearance as a witness should furnish high drama and high interest. While he is not of distinguished appearance, he is a man of culture and attainment, He has occupied high position in the university faculty, the sporting world, as the author of a text book on veterinary medicine in general use in colleges, and as a writer for both professional and out-of-door magazines. The spectacle of such a man as a witness fighting for his very life, will raise to high pitches the dramatic tone of the Snook-Hix tragedy. But there will be other high points. Melvin T. Hix, and his wife, parents of the dead Theora. are anxious to testify that their daughter was a girl of honor and a credit as well as a comfort to their declining years. Even more dramatic will be the possible appearance of Mrs. Snook, wife of the accused professor. Misses Saturday Golf Snook left court and went to his cell in the county jail at the close of Friday's session, seeming in buoyant spirits. He told his jailers he was glad of a week-end rest, but he missed, as always, his Saturday golf. He was prepared to devote much time over the week-end to his own case. Cout attendants will spend the week-end finding and serving with rsummons fifty additional talesmen, drawn Friday night, w hen it became certain the first panel of seventyfire would be exhausted before the jury is competed. The second pane! contains the names of fifteen women and thirtyfive men. Tr dications_ were that if the defense persists in what seems to be a determination to rid the jury of women and farmers, the jury can not be completed before Tuesday.

SOCIETY WOMAN ARRESTED AT COMMUNIST MEETING; NIGHT IS SPENT IN JAIL Two Other Socially Prominent Philadelphia Leaders Face Hearing* With Daughter of'Former Pennsylvania Governor. GATHERING HELD WITHOUT PERMIT ‘Amazing That Such a Thing Has Happened in Cradle of Liberty/ Anna W. Pennypacker Declares Following Release. By United Press PHILADELPHIA. July 27.-Miss Anna W. Pennypacker, daugher of a former Governor of Pennsylvania and a member of one of the state's most prominent, families, was released without bail today with twenty-nine other persons arrested Friday night on charges of holding an unauthorized meeting. They spent the night in jail. All were instructed to appear in court late today, when they will be given a hearing. Two other social prominent women were arrested with Miss Pennypacker. They were Miss Kate Kelsey, member of the exclusive, Acorn and Germantown Cricket Club, and Miss Helen Mallery. Miss Pennypacker, middle-aged and mild-mannered, who never has played a prominent part in polities, and her fellow, prisoners were arrested Friday night while attending a meeting alleged to be under communistic auspices, which had for its purpose the creation of sympathy and aid for the Gastonia (X. C.) textile strikers who are charged with killing a policeman during a strike there last month. The meeting was held in defiance of police, a permit having been refused.

HOOVER STUDIES FIGHTING SLASH Takes Military Experts to Week-End Camp. July 27.—President Herbert Hoover, forsaking the turmoil of Washington for the quiet of his Virginia fishing retreat, continued today to concentrate on means of reducing the United States’ large anual expenditures for fighting equipment. He had as his guests James W. Good, secretary of war. and other military officials. Since the President’s departure late Friday, it has become apparent to officials here there is a wide clea v age between the interpretation given by the White House and that given by Chairman Frederick Hale of the senate naval affairs committee to the following section of the 1928 cruiser construction bill: “Provided that if the construction of any vessel herein authorized to be undertaken in the fiscal yep 1 ending June 30. 1923 or 1930, is not undertaken in that, fiscal year, such construction may be undertaken in the next succeeding fiscal year." The President, it was said at the White House, is convinced this clause permits him to defer until June 30, 1930, work on the cruisers in this year’s program. “The President is entirely in error In his construction of the foregoing clause in the cruiser act." Hale asserted. “The clause refers to the starting of ships within the fiscal year specified and not to any delay in their construction thereafter.

In a statement to report* ers, given shortly before tlies hearing in the Eleventh and Winters street police court. Miss Pennypacker sharply criticised the action of the authorities in arresting the audience at the meeting. “I went to the meeting Friday night unofficially to learn more of the intolerable situation in Gastonia,” Miss Pennypacker said. ‘‘l am a member of the American Civil Liberties Union and believe liberty to be the most needed think m this country today. "The thing which truly patriotic persons should demand is the restoration to the people of the rights guaranteed them by the Constitution. Denies- Being Communist “It is an amazing thing, unbelieveable until witnessed, that here in Philadelphia—the City of Brotherly Love—and throughout Pennsylvania, the land on William Penn, our fellow citizens should be denied the right peaceably to assemble. ‘‘How can we expect to have respect for law when it is openly flouted by the authorities. Not openly, however, for most ot those attending such meetings are people whole names are unknown and who can not make any effective protest. It is well that others of us should have the experience and tell of it.” Miss Pennypacker said she always has been a free lance in politics. She never • has held public office and never has played any prominent part in politics. She denied being a communist. She dressed very plainly and at her court hearing today wore a simple gray woolen dress which reached considerably below her knees. She also wore white shoes and white stockings. Her hair is turning gray. Spends Night in Jail Miss Pennypacker Friday at first was surprised at her arrest and then indignant. “I couldn't believe this could have happened in Philadelphia, the cradle of liberty,” she said. ‘‘My ancestors came over to America more than two hundred years age in the cause of freedom, and I thought surely we could continue to enjoy it in peace in this good old Quaker city.” She refused any favors at the hands of police and chose to stay in a cell with thirteen young women who spent the night singing ‘‘The Red Flag” and the ‘‘lnternationale.” The station house in which they were locked up Is one of the tenderloin precincts.
