Judge LcwcT ng interrupted Neuner at various times asking the latter's interpretation of the state's power to enter, any city with liquor stores. Attorney Wat kins Interjected the state could no put a store Into a city where the people of that city voted against it. "I wish to take issue with the counsel on that," Nenner replied. "The state has the power to go where It desires with Its stores and that is the Intent -of the Knox bitt." Lewelling requested counsel on both sides to presen; their court citations as soon as possible to him at Albany and he would ex pedite consideration to avoid un necessary delay. He did not state when he would hand down his decision.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. -Alonr the perilous 2400 land mile air trail between San Fran cisco and Honolulu, six big navy seaplanes sped In formation to day after spending two nours m a mighty strugglo to get aloft with their heavy loads In a light breeze. Out through the Golden Gate ther headed at 2:22 p.m., (P. S T.K two hours and 10 minutes after the first plane rose from thm waters of San Francisco bay. At 2:21 p.m., they passed Point Lobos, westernmost point of land here, and roared seaward. Although officially performing rontina duty, the six officers ana 24 men aboard the big ships ac tually were starting the longest nviMina mass fllxht ever at tempted. Slight Miscalculation Would be Fatal The goal is but a pia point on the map of the Pacific, and a slight miscalculation would send them wide of their mark. How ever, a half dozen navy ships, stationed 100 miles apart along the course, stood by ready to speed to the aid of aay plane coming to distress. - .The aerial path followed was not a new one. Eight years ago It was blazed by the late Com mander John Rodgers, U. S. N. In the epidemic of overseas flying in 1)27 and 128 seven persons one a - woman, lost their lives trying to span the great stretch of sea. Rodgers, with a crew of five, fell Just short of reaching Hono lulu. His plane floated about for nine days and was rescued by a patrolling American submarine. Lester Maltland and Albert He- genberger, army aviators, made the flight several months later, landing as scheduled on Wheeler field near Honolulu. Then Er nest smith and Emory Bronte made it, running out of gasoline as ther approached land. Their plane crashed on Molokat Island. They '. ere unhurt.

The planes were In two squadrons of three ships as they passed the Golden Gate. Thousands of spectators gath ered ; on the hilltops . to see the giant craft. The flight was delayed about two hours because the heavy planes at first found It Impossi ble to get Into the air. " Last Plane Gets Iato Air at 2:18 P. M. At 12:11 p. m., the first craft, the lft-P-4, piloted by Lieut, T. D. Oulnn of Atlanta, Ga., arose from the bay waters. Then at 12:45 p. - nw Lieut Com. McGmnls rais ed his plana. The others made numerous attempts to take off, finally succeeding, the last ris ing at 2:is p. m. UcGlnnls stated he would fly low, not more than a" 00 feet oft the water, unless he ran into squalls. The fliers figured to make the trip la 24 hours or less, depend Ing upon weather conditions. They had nearly 1,000 gallons of fuel la each plane and figured on a safety margin of two hours in their gasoline supply. Lieut.
