in Dash for Air.
ST. JOHNS, N. F., May 19. Up to
2 o'clock this morning 'no word had
been received from Harry G. Hawker
since he started on his trans-Atlantic
flight. Weather reports from the At
lantic were favorable and indicated
improvement in some of the storm
areas.
ST. JOHNS, N. F., May 18. Harry
G. Hawker, Australian aviator, and
his navigator, Commander MacKenzie
Grieve, tonight are winging their way
across the Atlantic on the most peril
ous airplane flight in history, in an
eleventh-hour effort to wrest from
American navy pilots the honor of be
ing the first to complete a trans
oceanic flight.
The Australian late today decided
not to delay longer and started for
the Irish coast, despite weather con
ditions, characterized as "not favor
able, but possible."
When Hawker's Sopwith plane dis
appeared from view it left behind the
shattered hopes of his English rival,
Frederick P. Raynham, who in at
tempting to follow the Australian with
Jiis Martinsyde plane, broke a rear
axle on his machine. He and his navi
gator, Charles W. P. Morgan, were not
injured, but the plane was wrecked,
Hawker Decides to Go.
Both Hawker and Raynham have
Taeen here for weeks awaiting favor
able weather to start their flight for
the $50,000 London Daily Mail prize",
but day after day the start was post
poned because of unfavorable condi
tions. Today, however, with the news
that the NC-4, the American navy
eeaplane, had reached the Azores on
the first leg of its trans-Atlantic at
tempt, Hawker decided to wait - no
longer and quietly slipped away.
The hundreds of persons lining the
tehore thought he was merely making
a test flight; but suddenly he was ob
served to drop his landing gear, thus
lightening the load, and only then
were the spectators and Raynham
aware that Hawker had decided to
Etart his perilous flight.
20-Hour Flight Expected.
Hawker and Grieve took the air at
5:55 P. M. today Greenwich time (1:55
P. M. New York time) and expected
to reach the Irish coast in 20 hours
unless some accident forces them to
plunge into the sea.
When the Sopwith biplane passed
from view beyond the hills to the
northeast headed for the open sea,
Raynham was tuning up the engine of
his machine. Raynham and his navi
gator, Charles W. F. Morgan, in
stantly determined to follow him, for
all their preparations had been made
weeks ago.
As the Martinsyde taxied along the
uneven surface of the runway prepar
atory to the take-off, the rear axle
broke under its heavy load and the
machine ploughed into the ground.
Pilot and navigator were jammed n
the wreckage but apparently neither
was seriously hurt.
Air Currents Disregarded.
The 20-hour journey planned by
Hawker would land him on the Irish
coast at about 1:55 P. M. Greenwich
time, tomorrow (9:55 A. M., New
York time). He is flying straight for
Ireland, winging his way regardless
cf shipping lanes.
Hawker got away in a lurching 300
yard run, bumping hazardously over
the uneven field. The little plane
careened and rocked recklessly until a
hummock lifted it and its wings "took
the air" for a low, swinging start.
Hawker was at the control,

Report Says Government Will Op

Differences Are Settled.
WINNIPEG. Manitoba, May 18. Labor
unions tonight circulated a bulletin de
claring that the railway-running trades
had requested the trades council to call
them out to Join the general labor
strike of more than. 30.000 persons
which had paralyzed Industry here. A
strike by the trainmen would, it is
believed. paralyze transcontinental
freight and passenger service in Canada.
Except for various rumors which
could not be confirmed because of iso
lation from commercial or press com
munication with outside points, Sunday
passed quietly. The most discussed re
port was to the effect that the govern
ment might operate the various indus
tries in the city until a setlerrent of
the differences between unions and
employers could be effected. There
was no way of confirming this report.
Late tonight it was said that local
officials and business men in confer
ence with persons friendly to the
unions had drafted a plan intended to
bring the disagreeing factions to
gether. This plan will be presented to
the unions for official action soon,

LONDON. May 18. Meteorological

the NC-1 to the open sea when within

CONGRESS:
Surrender of Office by "Strutting
Official" Requested Three Days
Ago by Secretary Glass.
WASHINGTON, May 18. Henry D.
Ltndsley announced today his resigna
tion as director of the treasury depart
ment s bureau of war risk insurance.
declaring that excessive "red tape" and
ponderous supervision of the treasury
department over minor routine matters
made successful administration impos
sible. The resignation was dated yesterday
to take effect tomorrow and had been
requested three days ago by Secretary
Glass, following Director Lindsleya
suggestion more than a month ago that
unless he were given wider authority
ha would retire.
Secretary Den Ira Char sea.
Secretary Glass Issued a formal
statement tonight categorically denying
the charges of Director Lindsley and
criticising the director for failure "to
observe the ordinary official amenities."
Two of Director Lindsley executive
assistants in the bureau have offered
their resignations and similar action
probably will be taken by others.
Director Lindsley. whose home Is In
Dallas, Tex., and who was head of the
army's war risk lnsuranoe section in
France with the rank of colonel, today
made public correspondence between
himself and Secretary Glass, telling his
story of wjiat he said was serious in
terference on the part of the treasury
with matters of appointment of even
minor clerks, salaries of employes, ad
ministratlve details within the bureau
and publicity regarding -"allotments al
lowances, compensation and soldiers'
insurance.
Colonel Lindsley charged that, al
though when he was appointed by Sec
retary Glass last December 16 he was
given to understand tha.- he would
have authority to reorganize the war
risk bureau from the chaotic condition
into which Its work had fallen, the
treasury substantially imposed multi
tudinous restrictions, delayed action on
his recommendations, often for as much
as a month, and insisted on submission
of innumerable memoranda on minor
matters. Preparation of these often
took a large part of the time of the
director and his principal assistants
Colonel Lindsley said, to the detriment
of more important matters of adrainis
tratlon and poiicy.
Colonel Lindsley in a letter of April
8 to Secretary Glass, said he was
prompted to call the secretary's at
tention to lack of co-operation on the
part of the treasurry by "my settled
conviction that the bureab of war risk
insurance Is on the verge of a break
down and failure would be alike a dis
grace to the administration and the
cause of physical distress in millions of
"American homes."
Secretary Glass in his statement as
serted that he had not received the res
ignation of Director Lindsley and said
that it "would not appear to be neces
sary to explain to the public the de
sirability of Colonel Lindsley's dismis
sal from the service in view of his
own statement that on April 8 last he
expressed to the assistant secretary of
the treasury in charge of the war risk
bureau his utter indifference as to
whether or not the director's officia
communication to the secretary of the
treasury might be construed as a gross
personal affront.

From Portland to Salem.
SALEM. Or.. May IS. (Special.) A
total annual license tax of $200,000 may
reasonably be expected from' the sale
of gasoline and distillate in Oregon,
according to estimates which have been
made by Sam A. Kozer, deputy secre-.
tary of state, as based on the tax paid
by oil concerns since the gasoline
license tax bill became effective Feb
ruary 26.
The reports of all dealers up to
April 30 show total sales of 4.702,924
gallons of gasoline and 1.039,762 gallons
of distillate, on which a 1-cent tax
for gasoline and -cent for distillate
exacted on each gallon. The money
received in taxes so far amounts to
$5:,228.10, which is placed to the credit
of the state highway fund.
It would require a train of 460 ordi
nary tank cars of 12.500 gallon?
capacity. If these auto oil tanks were
placed on a highway and run SO feet
apart, they would fill the road between
Portland and Salem.

BY LIEUT. -COM MANDER A. C. READ.
Commanding the NC-4.
HORTA, Azores, May 18. The NC-
3 left the water at Trepassey bay at
10:03, Greenwich civil time, on the
afternoon of May 16. The NC-4 at
10:05 and the NC-1 some minutes
later. The three and four together
left Mistaken point on the course for
the Azores at 10:16 and 10 minutes
later sighted the one several miles to
the rear and flying; higher.
We were flying over icebergs, with
the wind astern and the sea 6tnooth.
Our average was 800 feet. The NC-4
drew ahead at 10:50, but when over
the first destroyer made a circle to al
low the NC-3 to catch tip. We then
flew, together until 11:55, when we
lost sight of the NC-3. The running
lights being too dim t. be discerned.
Engine Is Going Finely.
From then on we proceeded as if
alone. Our engine was sitting finely
and the oil pressure and water tem
perature were right. It was very dark
but the stars were showing. At 12:19
on the morning of May 17 the May
moon started to appear, and the wel
come sight made us all feel more com
fortable. As it grew lighter, the air
became bumpy and we climbed to 1800
feet, but the air remained bumpy most
of the night.
Each destroyer was sighted in turn,
the first being located by star, shells,
which, in some cases, we saw 40 miles
away; then by the searchlights, and
finally by the ships lights. All were
brilliantly illuminated. Some were ap
parently in the exact position desig
nated. Others were some miles off the
line, necessitating frequent changes on
our courseso that we might pass near.
Others Lost to Sight.
At 12:41 when we were passing No.
4 destroyer we saw the lights of an
other plane to port. We iept the
lights in sight for ten minutes. After
that we saw no other plane for the
remainder of our trip.
So far our average speed had been
90 knots, indicating that we had a
favorable wind. At 1:40 the wind
became less favorable and we came
down to 1000 feet.
At 5:45 we saw the first of the
dawn. As it grew lighter all our wor
ries appeared to have passed. The
power plant and everything else was
running perfectly. The radio was
working marvelously well. Messages
were received from over 1300 miles
and our radio officer sent a message to
his mother in- the states via Cape
Race.
NC-3 Reports Trouble.
Cape Race, then 730 miles away, re
ported that the NC-3 said radio was
working poorly. The NC-3 was ahead
of the NC-1 and astern of us, we
learned by intercepted messages. Each,
destroyer reported our passing by ra
dio. Sandwiches and coffee from the
thermos bottles and chocolate candy
tasted fine. No emergency rations
were used. These require too great
an emergency to be appreciated. I
made several inspection trips aft and
held discussions with the radio man
and theengineer. Everything was all
right.
At 6:55 we passed over a merchant
ship and at 8 o'clock we saw our first
indications of possible trouble, run-
