POST HOPS FROM IRKUTSK, 3 HOURS AHEAD OF RECORD

Blagoveschensk Next Goal of World Flier: Plane in Fine Shape. FACES PERILOUS ROUTE Airman Rapidly Approaches Course Beset by Fogs]_ Craft Repaired. By I ited Press IRKUTSK, Siberia, July 19. —Wiley Post, American world flier, took off today for Blajjoveschensk, continuing - his effort to better the world record he and Harold Gatty made two years ago. Po. took off at midnight (10 p. m. Indianapolis time). Post was 3 hours and 24 minutes ahead of his former record He was here 15 hours and 25 minutes, due to bad weather. The Oklahoma flier and >eided to make Blagovescnonsk, 1.020 miles eastward, his next stop, instead of Khabarovsk, 360 miles farther on. Post had planned to lly from Khabarovsk, near the eastern coast, direct to Fairbanks, Alaska, 3,000 miles, and then halt only at Edmonton, Canada, on his way to Floyd Bennett Airport. Plane in Good Shape. Arriving here feeling fine and with his plane in first-class condition, he then was 16 hours and 34 minutes ahead of the former record. He planned to halt here but a few hours to have his plane overhauled by Russian mechanics, who awaited him, and sleep for the second time since he left New York at 5:10 a m. Saturday. But the weather was execrable, and he decided to wait for it to get better. His lead over the former record decreased alarmingly, as he and Gatty remained here for but 2 hours and 10 minutes. However, he and Gatty were held 15 hours 20 minutes at their next stop, Blagoveschensk, and 26 hours 30 minutes at Khabarovsk, the one after that. Post was conceded an excellent chance, with good luck, of getting back to New York before 9:01 p. m. (7:01 p. m. Indianapolis time) Sunday, the deadline. Faces Dangerous Course He arrived here at 6:35 a. m., seventy-five hours twenty-five minutes away from Floyd Bennett airport . Post's planned stages from Blagoveschensk, his programmed halt in eastern Siberia, were Blagoveschensk to Fairbanks. Alaska, 3.000 miles; Fairbanks to Edmonton, 1.450, and Edmonton to New York, 2.200. Os these by far the most dangerous tsage was that between Blagoveschensk and Fairbanks, over the treacherous Okhotsk sea, with its logs, up over the northeastern Siberian coast, where James M&ttern came to grief on his world flight, and across the narrow top of the Pacific to Alaska. Weather conditions can id be expected to grow worse as Post moved eastward. However, the Oklahoma “iron man" was proceeding coldly and ealculatingly, flying at the earliest safe moment and taking advantage of all enforced halts to sleep. POSSE TRAPS BANDIT Rank Robber.

Physician *s Report Backs ‘T. B. ’ Victim’s Charge of State Penal Farm Abuse Protest That He Was Physically Unfit to Toil in Quarry Disregarded, Says Ex-Inmate; No X-Ray Made of Chest Ailment. This is the seventh of a series on conditions at Indiana's Penal Farm. BY ARCH STEINEL The pen of an X-ray technician, on March 24, 1933, in St. Louis city hospital, scrawled this report: “Condition probably due to pulmonary tuberculosis, somewhat beyond the minimal stage.”

The technician signed the report, “Dr. L. R. Sante.” He did not know that a few months before he penned that signature the man whose chest he had X-rayed had suffered beating with a cane in the Indiana penal farm. He was oblivious that this happened to a fellow-townsman, Daniel Roy Shipper of St. Louis, according to Shipper's affidavit: j “Guard Mike Finn ran down from ' the crushes. . . beating me with a cane. The cane broke in three pieces. Force of the blows knocked me down." Complained of Condition He did not know that two months before, almost daily, Shipper had complained to state farm authori- | ties of the condition of his lungs, with declarations that he had been I hospitalized for tuberculosis. He, Dr. Sante, did not know, as his pen scratched his unbiased report on Shipper's lungs, that the state farm never had given Shipper an X-Ray examination to determine whether his story of chest trouble was true. Nor did Dr Sante know that the St, Louis youth had lived for 140 hours in the state farm on bread and water, much of the time handcuffed to a cell door. He only knew that science's camera showed that the farm inmate they called a "malingerer’’ really had tuberculosis “beyond the minimal stage.” “Beat Hell Out of Me” One guard showed Shipper a little compassion. He permitted him to pick up small rocks and “put them in a car.” “I got sick again,” continues Shipper's affidavit, "and they took me up to the captain. He beat hell out of me in his office with his fist while I was sitting down on a bench. He let me sit in the office all day without my meals.” He tells, in his affidavit, of E. L. Arment, assistant superintendent of the farm in charge of discipline, pulling his hair and cursing him. But the records of the St. Louis city hospital show that Shipper, in (Turn to Page Three) APPROVE JOHNSON’S WAGE-RAISING PLAN Special Roosevelt Board 0. K. on Proposal.

Instead of attorney and client stepping forward, a bailiff tola Thomas Whallon, judge pro tern: “Your honor, Mr. Sisson is counsel for the prisoner and Mr. Sisson would like a continuance.” “Why would Mr. Sisson like a continuance?” queried Whallon. “Mr. Sisson is getting married,” rejoined the bailiff. “That’s grounds enough—continuance granted,” ruled Whallon.

Another chapter was written today in the strange case of Hal Roy Adams, 54, whose mysterious disappearance was “solved" several weeks ago when his “widow” buried a body believed to be his. Today he appeared before Juvenile Judge John Geckler to answer charges of child neglect, filed in an affidavit signed by nis wife, Mrs. Rachel Adams, 2436 Jackson street.

Neglect of his two children, Evelyn May. 14, and Frances, 10, is charged by Mrs. Adams. An incoherent story of wandering in Chicago for weeks, without shelter, sleeping in parks and begging food from door to door, was related by Adairis. He spent his time in Chicago, “just walking around,” he told the court. “Why did you come home?” Geckler asked. "I had no place else to go.” Adam.*; declared his health was "generally shot to pieces." His plea was supported by Mrs. Mitchell who declared the belief her brother was suffering from a “general nervous breakdown." Geckler ordered him sent to the city hospital psychopatic ward for examination, expressing the belief Adams was suffering from mental trouble. Adams was placed in custody of Mrs. Mitchell until arrangements can be made for his admission to the hospital.

A sixth American came under official displeasure and was threatened with a civil trial for defaming the island in a magazine article, i Theodor Pratt was the latest 1 American to find thorns on the roses of this Eden in the Mediterranean, widely advertised as a haven for those with a desire to live cheaply in ideally picturesque surroundings. American residents feared Pratt might have to pay a fine (51 more than SI,OOO. or undergo imprison- : ment, because he wrote critically of Mallorcan morality. Natives pej titioned the governor to expel him. Bomb Exploded on Door Step Threatened with lynching because of a magazine article in which he spoke disparagingly of the Mallorcans, Pratt appealed to the civil guards for protection. A bomb was exploded on his door step. His house was placa. ded with signs call.ng him an "indecent spy j ! in the pay of the American chamber j of commerce." | The civil guards brought Pratt and ; his wife to Palma.

To Joann contempt of court meant nothing. The long arm of the law was only something that was going to place her among strangers and away from her parents.

"Take h§r home with you, and give her the home she deserves,” Geckler told the Brandts. “Final decisiop will be given later.”

Scrappin’, Pepper-Throwing Neighbors Promise to Change Ways. The tree which marks the scene of a battle between neighbors occupying the double houke at 626-628 East Ohio street still is standing proudly, though a trifle battlescarred, and will henceforth be a symbol of neighborly love. At least that is what the formerly irate neighbors promised Thomas Whallon, judge pro tern, of municipal court three, when they were arraigned today following a pepper- ; throwing, saw-wielding battle Saturday. Mrs. Edith Guinner, 21, of 626 East Ohio street, who is alleged to have gone into action with a barrage of pepper and Mrs. Rose Fergeson. 58, of 628 East Ohio street, who used the saw with which Mrs. Guinner threatened to cut down the offending tree, as her trusty weapon, had fines revoked when they promised to quarrel no more. Mrs. Mary Conway, 42. mother of Mrs. Guinner, who is an invalid and was somewhat handicapped in the battle, was cleared of charges of assault and battery because of her condition. Charges against Mrs. Merle Lowe, 35, who lives with Mrs. Furgeson and was her able assistant in the punitive expedition, were also dismissed. Testimony showed that the fight started when Mrs. Guinner started to cut down the tree which stands directly between the two houses. She had been asked to do so by her mother because the tree ob- , scured her vision as the eider woman sat on the porch. Mrs. Lowe and Mrs. Fergeson hove into sight just as Mrs. Guinner began to cut the tree. "Oh, woman, spare that tree,” or words to that effect are said to (Turn to Page Five)

Arkansas, with more than half of | the vote tabulated, today seemed certain to join with Alabama in breaking down the traditionally dry ranks of the south and vote to remove the eighteenth amendment from the Constitution. Returns from 1,067 precincts out of 2,100 in the state gave: For repeal, 57,835. Against repeal, 36,913. Arkansas, with few cities and those of moderate size, had been considered ideal for the last ditch fight of prohibitionists. Numerous of the rural communities remain staunch for the dry cause, but th swing to the wet standard was surprisingly uniform throughout the ;state. Crittenden county, which in- ; eludes West Memphis, rolled up an i eight to one majority for repeal, and wets saw it as a forecast of the sentiment in Memphis, which votes on repeal in Tennessee's election ; Thursday. Garland county, which includes Hot Springs, where beer is sold despite the state law against it, went four to one for repeal. Pulaski county, including Littl* Rock, was wet three to one. Convocation of a special session of the Arkansas legislature to legalize beer was brought up as soon as the returns indicated Arkansas had entered the repeal column. H. K.
