Objectives Stressed
Milo Ross and Jack Routh, who

these speakers. Mr. Ross pointed
out that there is not room for all
to achieve outstanding success in
a material way, and sought to an

from hereditary qualities which
cannot b changed, he concluded
,T0iat the difference lies in haying.

Mr. Rotuh dwelt upon the debt

chived, counseling them that the

Six Otbers
CHICAGO, June 1 (AP)
Charles S. Wharton, former con
gressman and former assistant
state's attorney, and six others
were indicted today by a federal
garnd jury on charges of robbery
of the United States mails and
conspiracy to rob in . connection
with, the $133,000 mail train rob
bery at Evergreen Park last Feb
ruary 25. Among those indicted
with Wharton was Charles 'Limpy
Clearer, alleged leader of the
band.
The indictment charged that
the actual participants in the rob
bery had gone fo Wharton's home
in his absence, divided the loot
there and left $4,000 for the Chi
cago criminal lawyer, presumably
as a legal fee should they be
caught.
Wharton's bonds were placed at
$10,000. Wharton's home In Bev
erly Hills was searched immed
iately after the robbery. Govern
ment agents said they found locks
from some of the mail pouches in
an adjacent vacant lot. Federal
agents said they had tapped tele
phone wiress'and listened to a
conservation in which Cleaver told
a man at Wharton's home where
the loot left for Wharton could
be found.

NEWT YORK. June 1. AP)
A craft made in part of the rem
nants of two wrecked planes car
ried the four-man crew "of the
monoplane Southern Cross safely
over the 2400 mile span from
Oakland, Cat., to Honolulu.
Tbe creation of this latest
craft to force into the aviation
limelight was explained oday by
R. B. C. Noorduyn, vice president
of the Fokker Aircraft corpora
tion which redeemed the plane
after several accidents in the
early efforts of Captain George
H. Wilkins to fly to the north
pole.
A single-engined transport mon
oplane and a tri-motored mono
plane which Wilkins had used,
were dismantled in 1927 and
shipped to Seattle where the
Southern Cross came into being
formed of the fuselage of the
single motored craft and the wing
and landing gear of the tri-motored
plane.
The motors were new.
Tbe Southern Cross has thus
seen extensive service in the air.
Some of its parts were in the
planes that made several flights
in 1926 between Fairbanks and
Point Barrow, Alaska, and on a
plane that made two seven hun
dred mile journeys over the arc
tic wastes from Point Barrow.
Since the plane was rebuilt three
unsuccessful attempts were made
