night having leas than a day's

record. At that time, less than
21 hoars more of flying was need

haying been aloft 1S1 hours. The

early tonight.

and Jim Kelly drove their mono
nlane "Fort Worth" on tonight
through occasional misting rains
toward an all-time record for aer
ial cruising. As the fliers passed
the 124th hour in the air their
motor Founded as sweet and effi
cient as it did last Sunday morn
ing when they last touched earth.
Time of Record !
Approaches Steadily
At 4:13 p. m., the fliers had
only 27 more hours to stay aloft
to establish themselves as the
champion endurance fliers of the
world.
During the day the last two
records, separating Robbins and
Kelly from the time established
by the "Question Mark" fell. At
3:03 o'clock this morning, the 112
hour record of the "Graf , Zep
peUn'' went by the boards and
Earl B. Mathews, one of the offi
cial timers wrote in the log:
- "Adlos Graf Zeppelin. Your
flight Is ancient history now."
The 118 hour record establish
ed by the ill fated French dirig
ible "Dixmude" was surpassed at
9:33 this morning. The record
for sustained flight by two man
erews had been passed hours be
fore as had the record for single
motored ships. The Question Mark
carried three motors.
Some worry was expressed to
day, as it appeared possible that
the fliers might try to break the
record by days, Instead of hours,
as to the length of time the' " ar

UNDER ARREST HERE
10 Year Old Lad Makes Trip
From Portland to Salem
on But 25 Cents
From Portland to Eugene on
25 cents, and that found after he
started his journey such is part
of the story John Leppert, 10-year
old Montavilla school lad of Port
land, told to Mrs. Nona White,
county probation officer, Friday
afternoon. And likely enough he
would have reached Eugene had
not he hailed a motorist on South
Commercial street for a "lift,"
thus giving the motorist an oppor
tunity to decide that 10-year-old
boys who strayed away from home
and school should be held for in
vestigation. The youngster reached Salem
about 2 o'clock Friday afternoon,
carying an extra coat and a bundle
of clothes in an old Saturday Eve
ning Post bag.
He left Portland at 10 o'clock
that morning, he told the Juvenile
officer. He said he was on his
way to Eugene to visit an aunt,
Mrs. Jim Spriggs, until school
started next fall. His mother told
him Thursday night he could go
if he knew the way and that he
had better wear his overalls, the
boy maintained, although he did
tell conflicting stories.
John says his 28-year old moth
er, Mrs. Mary Leppert, works in
a Portland laundry, but efforts to
locate her failed. He gave the
home address as 22 E 78 street.
He had had two step-fathers, he
said, adding "And I guess we're
going to have another one now."
The "we're" includes two broth
ers, one younger and one older.
He has lived in Portland three
years, he said.
Asked if his mother was in the
habit of letting him leave home
in such a manner, he said he
walked from Portland to Scap
poose last summer to go swim
ming but without mother s con
sent. MM SCHOLAR
Brenda Savage, one of the most
promising senior art students at
the Salem high school, was Friday
voted by her class members to be
the logical recipient of the Joseph
H. Albert $25 cash award. The
Albert prize has been given to a
Salem high senior each year now
for the last ten years, and with
this year's award the boys and
girls share equally. Although the
prize is in no way for excellence in
scholarship. Miss Savage ranks
scholasHcally among the five
highest members of the class.
Barney Cameron, student body
president, and Edith May Jenks,
editor of the Clarion annual this
year and a member of the school
debate team, were nominated with
Miss Savage, by an impartial fac
ulty committee for the award,
nomination to it being considered
as great an honor as the final se
lection. Bases for selecting the
three candidates include: trust
worthiness: service to fellow stu
dents during year; development
Intellectually, socially and spirit
ually.

Commendations for his stand

demand that the black snow which
has been falling steadily - in the

stopped.
"I am going to write the beads

which is causing this trouble,"
said Patton Friday. "I'm going to
tell them we must have the cinder
nuisance stopped. If we don't get
results I am going to Insist that
the city council have the ordin

a heavy penalty upon any indus

Patton said leading citizens of
the town had dropped Into his
place of business Friday to de

with the continuance of cinders

after rainy and cloudy weather

vigators of both planes took ad

Mysterious Assailants Take
Unidentified Man From
His Taxicab
CHICAGO, May 14 (AP)
A hunt on tonight for the kidnap
ers of an unidentified man, and
the mystery of their identities and
the plight of their victim only
deepened as the search went on.
Police had expected to find the
body of Thomas Cooper, huddled
as is the fashion of gangland s vic
tims, in a prairie roadside ditch
or some bullet-pelted automobile.
But Cooper, whose photograph re
sembled the man torn from a taxi-
cab 4n early morning by a quar
tet of machine gunners, was found
at his home, unharmed.
Melville Oliver, taxi driver,
gave the police their only clue. A
man had hired his cab and order
ed him to "hurry out of this
neighborhood," but down the
street his car was nosed to the
curb by another and its occupants,
displaying sub-machine guns,
hauled hisfare from the cab, and
the victim, struggling with his
captors, pleaded: "Ernie, remem
ber I'm a married man, please."
With the collapse of Cooper's
identification as the victim, the
police could only guess that the
leader of the abductors was Ernie
Rossi, already sought in the inves
tigation of Sergent Ray Martin's
death at the hands of extortion
ists. Oliver was not certain of Ros
si's identification.

giant meteorite which buried itself

pressed the belief that their ob

The metorlte, estimated to be
