As to Mr. Lane, presidential ambi tions are not worrying him. He cher ishes one ambition. He would like to go to the supreme court bench, an honor that probably would not "oo de nied him should Associate Justice McKenna decide to retire. Justice Mc Kenna, like Mr. Lane, is from Califor nia, and it is the impression that if the former decides to leave the bench his robe will fall on another Pacific coast man. An Investigation of the war risk in surance bureau is sure to follow the break between Colonel Henry D. Lindsley and Secretary of Treasury Glass, which was followed by Colonel, Lindsley's resignation as chief of th bureau. The war risk bureau stands. out as the worst bungled of all 'the bureaus of the government during the war and has been the cause of widesp'read dis satisfaction. Thousands upon thousands of letters from wives, mothers and other relatives of the boys in the serv ice regarding allotments, compensation and insurance piled up in the bureau and went unanswered, and many of them are not yet answered. The chief cause of this was that the responsible posi tions in the bureau were practically T1 r faimdairdii JOURNEY WITHOUT STOP Machine, Which Starts From Paris, Damaged in Landing and Trip Is Abandoned. CAS A ELANCA, Morocco, May 25. lieutenant Roget, a French aviator who left Paris early yesterday morning in the first leg of a projected trans Atlantic flight by way of Dakar to Brazil, landed at 6 o'clock last night at Kenitra, 30 kilometers from Rabat. His machine was damaged in landing and the trans-Atlantic trip will have to be abandoned. Roget came down on very difficult ground. The machine had left Villa coublay, France, at 5:10 o'clock Satur day morning, carrying as passenger Captain Coli, who previously had crossed the Mediterranean. Coll was lightly bruised when the machine came down. The entire trip was covered without a stop. The aviators arrived last night at Rabat by automobile. As their machine cannot be repaired here the aviators will return to France by eteamer. Lieutenant Roget seems to have beat en the record of the American navj seaplane NC-4, which in its recent flight to the Azores covered 1'j50 kilometers (1121 miles), while Roger flew 2170 kilometers (about 1348 miles). PONTA DELGADA, May 25 (By the Associated Press.) There is no imme diate sign of an impending let-up in the unfavorable weather which, has prevailed for CO hours over the whole of the Lisbon course of the projected flight of the American navy seaplane, NC-4. Therr.fore it is con&idered im possible to start on this leg of the journey before Tuesday, according to the weather experts. Strong northwest winds with clear ing weather, but with occasional rain squalls, are predicted for tonight and Monday. The NC-4 has been removed to an anchorage farther inside the breakwater. She is being carefully guarded by a steam launch which con tinually circles around her. PARIS, May 25. Lieutenant Roget, according to a dispatch to the Temps from Rabat, flew 2200 kilometers in 11 hours and 50 minutes at an average speed of more - than 185 kilometers (about 114 miles) an hour. all filled by political favorites of the administration who knew nothing about the business of which they had suddenly been placed in charge. Having taken the places with the idea that they were being given gov ernment sinecures to pay them for po litical services, their hearts were not in the work and they did not even undertake to grasp what it was all about. Colonel Lindsley, himself a veteran of the late war and an ex perienced insurance man, was placed in charge, and the change was instantan eous. He had an interest in his fellow veterans and their families and he be gan to demand that more attention be paid to the inquiries that came in from the soldiers' relatives. This soon started friction, because he was too insistent that the welfare of the soldiers be looked after promptly. He found that much of the fault lay at the treasury department. He said so, The result is that he is out of the job, but there is something more to follow. Colonel Lindsley is president of the n-wly organized American Legion, and the several hundred thousand soldiers who are in line for membership in this organization are determined that the mismanagement of the bureau which Colonel Lindsley sought to overcome shall not be covered up.

WOOD LINE-UP IS GROWING (Continued From First Paye.) joy rides or junkets of some kind. There have been times since the armistice was signed when Mr. Lane was the only member of the president's official fam ily who could be found at home. The others have been either disporting themselves in Europe or away from Washington on official business." But no sooner is Secretary Lane's name mentioned for. the presidency than we hear that he is under a handicap that he has not been as partisan as some of the president's advisers think he should have been. When Mr. Wil son had. some thought, new to himself, as a sure panacea for wars and eco nomic ills of all kinds, the secretary of the interior never joined with the other members of the cabinet in an im mediate "Me, too," chorus. He has al ways reserved the right to study even the president's ideas before giving them his unqualified indorsement. His worst offense, however, has been his high estimate of the late Colonel Roosevelt.

(Spe ciaL) Tobacco disrupted the annual high school meet, according to reports emanating from the various schools which, since the agreement of last fall, have adopted the policy of not permit ting students who use tobacco a place in the trials. It appears that Superintendent Goets of North Bend started the reform in high school athletics and Myrtle Point and Coquille joined with North Bend in the crusade to eliminate students who smoke the seductive cigarette. This was the situation until North Bend, Co quille and Myrtle Point organizations got together and declared they would compete and leave out Marshfield and Bandon, the schools that would not be bound by the agreement which was to be forced upon them. The meet, there fore, will be held with the three teams competing. EUGENE HOTEL DEFRAUDED Bogus Salesman Passes Worthless Check in Sam of 987.68. COTTAGE GROVE, Or., May 25. (Special.)

They denied that night work tended toward Immorality. Before the hearing started, Mary Donnelly. representing the women ticket agents, issued a statement criti cising "society women" for their activi ties with respect to working women. "The sooner the society women un derstand they must keep their hands off the working women, the sooner the working women will be better off." she declared. "If this law is carried out, there can be no cabarets, no grand opera and the society women must let their household maids go by 10 o'clock at night, for we ntend to show them that what is 'sauce for the goose, is sauce for the gander.'"
