his insanity petition, a copy of
that used by Russell Scott. Chi
cago murderer, who cheated the
gallows by hanging himself In a
jail cell last summer.

through the Insanity plea, Birger's
attorneys used a copy of Scott's
insanity petition. Birger was de
clared sane yesterday and resent
enced to hang tomorrow for the
murder of an Illinois mayor.
Nearly one hundred deputies
patrolled the streets tonight. The
sheriff and Circuit Judge Charles
E. Miller, who sentenced Birger to
death, have, received numerous

hang."
Sheriff Pritchard has been

uniform of a major in the Irish
Free State air force flew into this
little mountain hamlet today not
as, one or the first tnree men to
have flown an airplane irom Eur
ope to America but as a man on a
sliff job that has yet to be com
pleted.
"We have not yet reached New
York, and until we do our trip is
not over,' declared Major James
Fltzmaurice, who flew with Bar
on Von Huenefeld and Captain
Koehl from Dublin, Ireland, last
Thursday for New York, but were
forced to land their Junkers plane
Bremen on that black and sparsely
inhabited speck of land off the
northern end of Newfoundland,
known as Greenly Island.
Complete Plans Given
With those words, Fltzmaurice
made known his immediate plans
and those of his companions, who
remained behind with the damaged
Bremen. He is to obtain parts that
now are at Montreal, take tnem
by airplane to Greenly Island, re
pair the Bremen and then con
tinue the flight to New York.
"It probably will be two or
three days before I can get away
for Greenly Island," be said, "a
lot depends on the weather. Then
I expect it will take about the same
length of time to repair the plane
and fit it for the remainder of the
journey."
The damage to the Bremen, he
said, consisted of a broken pro
peller, a smashed landing gear
and a ruined tire, the latter dam
aged by the frost. Outside of hav
ing to make the necessary repairs
there is no reason why the Bremen
cannot continue on to New York,
in the opinion of the Irish flier.
Builder's Daughter Present
Standing at his side and show
ing great interest in what Fltz
maurice was saying, was Fraulein
Flerta Junkers, daughter of the de
signer of the Bremen and the rep
resentative in the United States
of the Junkers company. She had
flown to Montreal yesterday from
New York, continuing on here last
night to meet Fitzmaurice and
learn from him what was needed
to repair the Bremen.
In a few words, Fraulein Junk
ers explained the reason for her
coming here to meet Fitzmaurice.

District Congressional
Committee
I.A tJ RANDE, Ore.. Apr. 18.
(AP) Walter M. Pierce, former
governor, tonight informed the
Associated Press that, if the demo
crats of Oregon wrote his name
in on the ballot for congressman
to succeed M. J. Sinnott. he would
oecome a candidate. Pierce has
been urged by his friends to make
tne race.
In case J. Sinnott, represent
ative in congress for the second
congressional district, withdraws
as a candidate for reelection to
accept the office of justice of the
court of claims, it will devolve ud-
on the congressional committee of
the second Oregon district to nom
inate his successor.
President Coolidge Wednesday
nominated Representative Sinnott
for justice of the court of claims,
and It is likely that he will be con
firmed by the senate.
The law applying to the Sinnott
case was pointed out here Wed
nesday by Secretary of State Ko
zer. Any action taken by the con
gressional committee, however,
would not prevent the voters of
second district from nominating a
candidate in the primary election
by writing in his name on the bal
lot. If Representative Sinnott de
sires to withdraw as a candidate
in the primary election early
enough that his name will not be
certified by the county clerks by
the state department, it will be
necessary for him to do so before
Saturday of this week. Saturday
is the last day allowing the secre
tary of state for mailing the certi
fications.
The Oregon election law apply
ing in the Sinnott case reads:
"In case any candidate nomin
ated under the provisions of this
act shall die, withdraw, or for any
reason be ineligible, or if there
shall occur a vacancy by death,
resignation or otherwise, in the

ent Urged by Miss .Jeii
I,. Soules
Stressing the need for nmre
rigid qualifications and standards
in the teaching profession and th
lack of the layman's acquaintance
and therefore of cooperation
with this need. Miss Jean L.
Soules, president of the classroom
teachers' division of the National
EducaUonal a80ciatIon spoke at
th hleh school yesterday after-
noon on "Creating the Profession
al Spirit Among Teachers."
Miss Soules. herself a classroom
teacher In the Spokane schools, t
this week terminating a three
weeke' leave of absence spent lec
turing In different sections ot ta
country on behalf ot the teacher
and the teaching profession. Her
present tour has taken her as far
east as Maine and through the
southern state.
Anong the Improvemeats
which the visiting teacher advo
cates in the teaching profession
would be a stronger link between
the teacher and the community.
To this end, she proposed a special
emphasis on the school health pro
gram, carried on not simply s
school routine but with relation
to the community as well. Char
acter training through classes in
citizenship carried on through the
school classes would also come un
der this head.
Part of the teaching load, de
clared Miss Soules, Is to help la
the program to promote interna
tional good will and to make def
inite conseeslons to that end. This
promotion should come from the
classroom, and not through the
medium of diplomats, ministers or
officials with whom international
Ism Is associated, the speaker said.
Such a program would have as ifn
objective the reflection of a kin
dred spirit on the part of the lay
man, and his greater approval.
In the requirement program for
teachers, tha adoption of a tenure
plan Is aorely needed, as aucb
plan carefully worked out wonld
