his companions", who started this
morning -from Broyden, England,
for their flight around the world,

Associated Press.) Major w. T
Blake and two companions start
ed from the airdrome here at 3:05
o'clock this afternoon on an at
tempted 30,000 -mile airplane
flight around the world.
The three aviators Major
Blake, Captain MacMilan and
Lieutenant Colonel E. E. Broom
made their start without the at
teiidant plane with photographers
and giving picture operators
which it had been planned to send
with them as far as Athens. It
was found impossible to get the
second machine ready on time.
Confident of Success.
Major Blake expressed confi
dence of making the world tour
within 90 days. He hoped to be
on American soil early in August
"I am the luckiest and proudest
man In the world to be able to par
ticlpate in such a momentous
flight," he said. "I am sure it
will be entirely successful."
Messages received by Major
Blake included one from King

God speed and good luck."

pounds of baggage.
Colonel Broom, the scientific
member of the party who nas
spent many years in Alaska, the
Aleutian Islands and the Pacific
northwest, said the party would
explore Iceland and Greenland It
time permitted.
Not all the air experts who
watched the preparations for the
flight were so optimistic as the
leader. Some thought the DH-9
was small; and frail for such a
flight, and expressed misgivings

RATES UNDECIDED
In the absence of any advices
on the action of the Interstate
commerce commission in reducing
freight rates the Oregon public
service commission was not in a
position to comment on'any prob
ably stand which It might take on
intra-state rates.
"In view of the fact, however,
that the various state commissions
throughout the nation generally
followed the lead of the .Interstate
commission in the increases which
were put into effect during the
period of federal control it is al
together probable that a similar
attitude will obtain in a period of
rate reductions," was the comment
of Commissioner Fred G. Buchtel.
"Inasmuch as the carriers were
unanimous in their contentions
that a uniform policy as between
the Interstate commission and the
late commissions during the per
iod of rate increases was essential
to the preservation of the rate
tructure the same line of argu
ment should hold good la a per
iod of rate decreases."
Until the commission is advised
of the action of the interstate
commission and its effect on Inter
state "rates, however, the Oregon
commission will not be in a posi
tion to move, it was- pointed out.

Indiana Party Heads.
Indianapolis, Ind., May 24.-
Indiana republicans, meeting here
toe' -r their state convention

,. -for the fall campaign.

T ;o had discussed with Pres
, ; Harding before leaving

fflcient and wise manage
C:, of the nation's domestic and
a lational affairs had brought
J I substantial results In re
lieving the "evils of eight years
af democratic misrule."
Beveridtre Is Speaker.
Albert J. Beveridge, the party's
nominee for United States senator,
was another speaker. He praised
the Harding administration, de
claring that "America is to be con
gratulated on an officials record
so splendid." He said that the
convention marked the beginning
of "our harmonious advance to
ward a common victory in Novem
ber." "During the coming battle and
thereafter we Indiana republicans
will strive In generous rivalry
with our brothers and sisters in
other states to set the highest oi
all the standards of loyalty to, and
love for that noble leader of our
party, the president of the United
States, in whose admirable admin
istration we take such pride, that
wise, steady, patriotic, broad-vls-
loned statesman, that typical
American and faithful republican
Warren G. Harding; and to him
as our captain we pledge our teal
ty and support.
Tax Issue Reiterated.
"The supreme and only imme
diate duty at hand in domestic af
fairs is to restore American busi
ness to full strength and vigor.
The reduction of great expenses,
so well and efficiently began by
President Harding must be con
tinued until the last trace of ex
travagance Is cut out.
"The laws of taxation must be
still further revised until they are
made wholly consistent and har
monious with economic" law, so
that capital, the llfeblood of bus!
ness may flow freely through the
veins of industry and the arteries
of trade. .
"It has been the glory of repub
lican statesmen that they were
guided by fundamental principle
and never by shallow expediency.
CARPENTIER BOUT
New York, May 24. Harry
Greb today was holder of the Am
erican light heavyweight title as
a result of his victory last night
in 15 rounds with Gene Tunney
of this city. And now Harry wants
to meet Georges Carpentler for
the world title.
Greb started against Tunney In
his usual whirlwind fashion and
soon mussed up the New Yorker's
countenance with sharp hooks
and long swings. When Tunney
slowed the Pittsburgher for a
spell with hard body punches.
Recuperating quickly, Greb
launched assault after assault for
the head and body and while his
punches were not as hard as those
sent in by Tunney, they were in
the majority. The "bearcat" was
always on top of his opponent and
was the aggressor in most of the
rounds. Against Greb, Tunney
displayed some of the courage
that carried him to fistic titular
honors in the American expedi
tionary forces In France.
Tacoma, Wash., May 24 Clash
es between attorney in the trial
of Ole Larson, former president of
the defunct Scandinavian-American
bank, were so frequent in the
closing arguments this morning
that Judge M. L. Clifford had to
reprimand both sides.
Larson, who is now in business
in San Francisco, is on trial for
illegally borrowing $1000 from
the bank by the device of issuing a
check on November 24 1920,
when his account was already
ovedrawn. Maurice Langhorne
and Wllmon Tucker, attorneys for
Larson, hotly resented it when
Deputy Prosecutor J. A. Sorley In
his argument referred to the fail
ure of the bank. The clash grew
personal, and Mr. Sorley declared
he could take care of himself.

ERRORS DEFEAT
BEARCAT TEAM
Costly errors by Isham in the
first and second innngs and also
by Edwards in the sixth enabled
the Chemawa Indian School nine
to win from the Willamette Uni
versity team yesterday 6 to 5.
The game was played at Chema
wa. In Isham's case both errors
each let in a run and the one made
by Edwards was responsible for
two.
Williams, pitching for the In
dians, had the situation well In
hand until the ninth. Up to the
final Inning he had allowed but
one hit and no runs. During the
same number of innings Indians
had gathered their full total of
hits and runs. The landed out 8
solid hits and aided by four runs
on errors, had a total of 6 runs.
In the ninth inning the Bearcatt
started a rally that looked like a
victory. Dlmmlck hit a two-base
hit that brought in two runs and
Glllett brought In three with a
three-bagger. The chance to tie
the score and run the game Into
extra innings was spoiled when
Gillett was coached off third and
was caught at the home plate. The
next man up, Pollock, hit a nice
one that would have brought In
the tying run had Gillette been on
base.

the board we feel we might have
done as you gentlemen did under
similar circumstances," Mr. Bohrn

ing you to employ Miss Iverson
unless the superintendent so rec
ommends. We feel you should
back up your superintendent. But
we do think Miss Iverson Is an
unusually good teacher. We do
like Miss Iverson. She may have
made a mistake, but we feel that
any one who has served as long as
she has served Is entitled to make
at least one error.
