Rock Springs, Wyo. ? Forced down by a now leak In the oil cooling tank of. his plane, Lieutenant Russell L. Maughan was forced to abandon his attempt to cross the continent' be tween dawn and dusk. He landed at the air mail field at 5 03 p. m. A hurried examination by two air mall pilots who were the only men on/ the field when Maughan descend ed, convinced the transcontinental flier that It would be impossible to repair the leak in time for him to reach tho west coast before dark, and he called ofT the flight. I Tho leak was around the edges of the portion of the tank 'which had been soldered at Cheyenne when Maughan was delayed for an hour, i 'Maughan passed over Rock Springs at 4 .58, apparently bent upon con- 1 tlnulng the flight despite tho leak but he turned back a few minutes later and landed. "It would reouire from 3 to 4 hours to repair the leak," Maughan told the Associated Press, "conse vQuently the flight Is off.'' Lieutenant Maughan went to a ?hotel here after waiting at the air field while the two pilots, Harry Chandler and Jack Sharpenack, ex amined the tank. He was greatly disappointed at the second failure which had greeted hla attempt to ctobs the continent and his demeanor plainly Indicated dis gust as he walked away from the field. The aviator was smearing Qreen river when the oil tank began leak lng badly, he said, resulting in hij decision to abandon the flight and return to Rock Springs. Lieutenant Maughan said he fell no ill-effects from the nausea whlcfc nearly overcome him at Cheyenne as the result of fumes from the es caplng oil. Ho said he felt "fine' and was going to "take a good sleep.' A'sked whether he would make an other attempt to span the continen' between dawn and dusk, Lieutonam asserted : "That Is up to Washing ton." He added that he "naturally' ?would be "glad to try It ngaln." Maughan made the trip from Chey enne to Rock Springs, 245 miles, li one hour and thirty-two minutes, oi at a speed of approximately 17( miles an hour. Decrease Shown in Crushed 8eed. Washington. ?

HAS AUTHORITY TO SEARCH SENATOR STERLING SAYS CON GRESS CANNOT LIFT LIQUOR BAN* Plans to Revive Bill to Increase Sea Zone For Prohibition Enforce ment. Washington. ? Congress In power ess, in the opinion of Senator Ster ling, republican. South Dakota, noe of the dry leaders in the senate, to lift the ban on the carrying of liquor on foreign ships within American ter ritorial waters, but it haB ample auth ority to give government craft the right to search and seize rum runners 12 miles from shore. Senator Sterling announced that he would revive his bill to establish a 12 miles prohlbiton enforcement limit at the next session if the state de partment menatlme does not negotiate a treaty t6 that end with maritime powers. At the same time, however, he expressed the opinion that no re lief can be extended through legisla tion, amendmendlng the prohibition enforcement laws, t0 foreign shipping companies forbidden by the recent su preme court decision to bring liquors within the American three mile limit. "The supremo court based its de cision on the constitutional amend ment Itself and not on any act of Congress to enforce it," Senator Ster ling declared. "The only avenue open to change or in any way modify the sweep of the decision must therefore be by the repeal of the eighteenth amendment. In my Judgment any such action is of such remote conting ency that it need not be considered. It is a situation which we can not af fect by legislation." The South Dakota senator predict ed an attempt would be made to put through a law prohibiting American vessels from having intoxicating li quors aboard while on the high seas.

Two other cases not instituted to em barrass the United States but with a view to vfndicating the rights of Brit ish shipping companies to maintain discipline aboard their own vessels. Disabled Veterans Urge New Program. Washington. ? A legislative program callihg for adjusted compensation for world war veterans and affecting their rehabilitation, hospital care and insur ance will be pressed upon Congress when it convenes in December by the Disabled American Veterans or the World War. The program, based on recommendations adopted by the third annual convention of the organization hold recently at Minneapolis, was an nounced here. The proposals provido a rating of total permanent disability for veter ans whn have been given hospital care for twelve consecutive months, and that all veterans so rated and those being treated at homo shall re ceive the same family allowance as given veterans bureau trainees. An effort also will be made to have all veterans recommended for perma nent total disability rating carried o> this roll temporarily pending final award. Total disability ratings will be sought for ir*?n entiled to training which has been declared not to be feasible, and a rating of fifty per cent pormanent disability will bQ asked for men discharged from hospitals with diagnoses of arrested or quiescent tuberculosis.

PERMIT POLICIES TO LAPSE Would Glv? Them Full Protection Under All Insurance Policy Contracts. "Washington. ? Assorting that in surance companies have confiscated millions of dollars because of lapsed payments by policy holders Repres entative Thomas, democrat, of Okla homa. announced he would introduce a bill in the next Congress, seeking to guarantee to the public "the full benefits tinder all insurance policy contracts." The money held by he companies, Mr. Thomas said, consists of funds which rightfully belong to the estate of unfortunate persons who permit ted their policies to lapse after mak ing a sufficient number of annual premiums payments to give their policies a paid up or extended in surance value." Failure of the companies to fully advise policy holders of the value of their policies, Mr. Thomas said, is responsible for the condition. Many who have permitted their policies to lapse, he said, do not know such policies have a value if they have been in force for more than three years,, "and the insurance companies, taking advantage of this ignorance, fail to notify them of such value." Mr. Thomas said he had mado an investigation of the subject which showed that "during the past 21 years, hundreds of thousands of policyholders have permitted insur ance aggregating ten billion dollars to lapse and through failure to make claims for the surrender value of their insurance have permitted the companies, in ef .ict, to confiscate hundreds of millions of dollars. " Plan to Raise Price of Wheat. Chicago. ? Urging the housewife to buy a barrel of flour, the general public to purchase Individually 1,000 bushels of wheat for future delivery and everybody to eat one more slice of bread daily, a plan to combat drop ping wheat and flour prices, has been ' endorsed by George E. Marcy, pren- ! ident of the Armour Grain Company, and is advocated by commission ! houses and grain men here. July wheat tumbled to 9? 3-8 here. Flour dropped 15 cents a barrel with Spring patents in the retail trade quoted at $6.R5 in small lots and Winter wheat flour from $5 to $6. The sentimental effect of the pur chase of 1.000 bushels of wheat by 100.000 persona would tend to stabil ize the market and restore the fallen confidents of grain operators, grain men declared, advocating that feat ure of the plan as the most import- 1 ant. Another 100,000,000 bushels might be disposed of to manufactur ers of farm Implements and automo biles, whose business to a certain extent is affected by the prosperity of the farmer, the plan propsed.

EXODUS OF FARM LABOR CONTINUES THE WHEAT HARVEST IS UNUS UALLY GOOD IN NORTH CAROLINA. NEW BELT TOBACCO 600D | Outcome of Weevil Damages In Upper Part of Cotton Bolt Still Doubtful. Atlanta, 0a. ? Exodus of [arm labor continues, according to the south eastern fortnightly crop report July 1 to July 15. made public here by the United States department of agricul ture. North Carolina, the report add ed. reports a net gain In some coun ties at the expense of states further south. The past two weeks, continued the report, have beeu favorable to all crops, except that certain localities were suffering from rain. A good downpour is now needed by practical ly all of the territory, Georgia and South Carolina corn need it particu larly. Wheat threshing is in full swing in Tennessee, the report said. In North Carolina, the harvest is unusually good, followin ga favorable season. Considerable quantity of hay has been saved in Tennessee, while pros pects continue god in remainder of the territory, except where it has been too dry, the report averred, adding that pastures are still in good shape, but needing moisture. The report declared tobacco yield and quality were good and the har vest Is now over in Florida and south ! west Georgia. South Carolina and Georgia "bright"' are harvesting with excellent prospects. Everything Is favorable in the new area of North Carilina but the old belt suffered from 'drought. Tennessee tobacco Is doing fp.irly well, but "buttoning" rather low. Little topping ha3 been done there. In reaped to cotton, the report stat ed, all states report considerable prog ress In the growth of the plant within the past two weeks. The fields are reasonably clean and the blooms are. forming rapidly in the south and commencing in the upper region. Boll weevils are particularly bad in south Georgia and Florida, causing a decline in the condition figure. This pest, the report added, is re ported very active in the remainder of the territory, although it was held i In check by the dry weather during I the past two weeks. The crop is so , late that the direct weevil damage J in the upper part of the belt is hard I to forecast and the outturn of the whole crop Is problematical. Commenting on the southern fruit ! outlook, the reort declared, eaches and i apples have a less encouraging out lok in North Carolina and Tennessee. In Georgia the main commercial apple ' sections report favorably, but the gen- j eral agricultural area indicates a small crop. Georgia peaches are very late and shipments badly behind last year, | but it is expected that the Elbertaa will oven things up. Federal Agents Make Big Haul. Lakowood, N. J. ?
