Fort Worth Hopes to Fly (Till

Test Imperiled by Rain
Bank Roll Mounts For
Weary Birdmerv
FOUT WORTH, Tex., May 25.
Borne apprehension was felt here
tonight for the crew of the "Fort
Worth" . which today broke the
world's endurance flight record
when the- plane was not seen over
the municipal airport for 46 min
utes during a light rnln and elec
trical Htorm ft wan thought that
they might liuve tried to dodfe
the storm.
Bhould they bo forced down
away from the field they would
lose the record they established
earlier In the day because the
rules specify that no record is
made unless the plane lanads on
the samo field and Us landing
imed by the same watch used at
the tako-off. If tho two pilots,
U. U Hobbins and Jim Kelly, are
still aloft they passed their 153rd
hour In the air at 9:33-29 tonight.
' FORT WORTH, Texas.' May 25.
iJP) Tho monoplane Fort Worth, I
in which R. L, Robbins and James j
Kelly today surpassed tho record,
for sustained flight, passed the i
168rd hour In tho air hovering:
over Iove Field, Dallas, tonight,
dodging n rain and electrical slorm
which swept from the west. Ef
forts were made at hove Field to
signal the fliers to go south, where
reports said the weather was more
favorable. - .
FORT WORTH, Texas, May 25.
(P) Two weary filers, one a for

railroad mechanic, achieved a feat

their 1B2d hour without the sup
port Of mother-earth. -.
R. Rohbins and James Kelly,
who took to the air in their single
motored monoplane. Fort Worth,
last Sunday morning, grinned and
waved their hands as every big
noise-making instrument In the
city broko loose'to applaud them a
moment after ' the record of
150:40:15 seconds, established by
tho army plane, "Question Mark"
on the Pacific coast last January,
nau neen oeucrea y ono nour.
i no iners missea mo ceie ora
tion which occurred on the instant
the record fell, for their plane had
carried them across the. field only
a moment beforo and they were
banking around behind a hangur
for the return trip.
A large 'siren nt the field started
the noise and airplane and mMur
car exhausts, bombs and fireworks,
the backfiring of. motorcycle offi
cers' . machines swelled it into a
roar, as the air grew blue with
exhaust gas.
A moment later when the plane
droned inlo'vtew the crowd itself
broke intd a roar and the air was
white .wtih straw hats flung into
the air. '
IMlols at the field and friends of
the record breakers jigged and
hugged each other. Mrs. Robbins
and Mrs.- Kelly made shrill, joyful
sounds and Jumped up and down,
and citizens who came merely to
sec the finish yelled themselves
hoarse. It was several hours be
fore tho long blocks of automo
biles hlch were bedded In nearby
pastures could untangle themselves
and return to town. '
- The big moment found the fliers
themselves without a word of sen
timent to greet the enthusiasm. On
their second trip' across the field
they dropped a message, but tho
first part of It evidently had been
written before the record fell and
the last line added as an effort to
answer the enthusiasm. A request
for various supplies, . which the
"fliers will need If they carry out
their aiinonnced determination to
say In the air until Wednesday or
Thursday took up the first few
lines of the missive, and tho last
lipe said simply: '
; "It sure Is a fine crowd,"
From the moment the record
fell the fliers were piling up hank
accounts at the rate of $50 each
an hour. A testimonial sent aloft
earlier ln! the day signed by the
heads of fx of the largest aerial
transportation lines In the country
promised the two men $100 an
hour for every hour they remain
In the air beyond the record. '

The defense scored Its first vic

writ restraining County Judge John
W. Burcher from sending tho Ma

Hcntoncpd to serve until 24 years

Jury demanded by the defense had

The writ which stays execution
of tho child's sentence, holds that
Judge Burcher exceeded his au
thority in sentencing1 tho boy.
Following Issuance of tho writ the
prosecution announced it would
take the case to the court of ap-
peals. The child will remain in
custody of his parents pending
final settlement of the ease.
An Interview alleged to have

DIPLOMATIC
DRYNESS IS
FAINT HOPE
President
of Sir
to Study Proposal
Esme to Forego
Embassy Booze, But High
Officials Opine No Official
Action Likely.
WASHINGTON, May 25. )
Administration officials regard U
as unlikely that President Hoover
will request tho diplomatic corps
to forego tho exerciHe of the dip
lomatic Immunity undor which Its
members Import liquor- for em
bassy and Igeatlon use. 1
Sir Ksmo Howard, the British
ambassador, and dean of tho corps,
said laHt night in New York that
he was willing to surrender the
privilege.
His statement supplemented a
letter which ho had written to
James T. Carter, a prominent dry
and lumberman In Lynchburg, Va,,
In which he expressed a similar
willingness after pointing out that
tho American government volun
tarily had grantod to foreign dip
lomats the privileges of Importing
and using alcoholic beverages after
the adoption of the eighteenth
amendment and the enactment of
tho Volstead law.
The ambassador's letter was
transmitted to the White House by
Mr, Carter and was Immediately
routed to the state department in
the usual cnurso without being
called to the attention either of
the president or of high Whito
Houso officials. At tho state de
partment It apparently was placed
on file without being placed before
high officials there.
The president has called for the
correspondence and probably will
study It next week after his return
from his usual week-end trip into
, th nearby couniry. Whether he
will take van y1 action on lfc with b
determined only Kfter he has fully
acquainted himself with the con
tent and Iho circumstances sur
rounding the exchange
Secretary fltlmson said today
that ho probably was the only man
in Washington who had not read
fully the newspaper accounts of Sir
fOsme's letter, He declined to com
ment upon it In any way and re
fused lo be drawn out by ques
tions as to the probable action of
the American government,
Other officials had little hesi
tancy In giving tholr own opinion
that not even an Intimation would
go forward to1 tho embassies and
legations that the importation of
liquors under diplomatic Immunity
he discontinued. Such importa
tions are made with the sanction
of tho state .department In each
case.
Some officers of the government
said diplomatic Immunity was
raised In tho present Instance and
that such Immunity Is a matter of
international lawi They were not
prepared, however, to give an off
hand opinion an to whether an act
of consresH Would supersede thut
law.

of the ways and means committed
majority to amend tho sugar
schedule-. . . '
Tho commlttoo, which has pri
ority under the rules to offer
amendments, precipitated tho con
troversy In proposing to strlko out
the increase to slightly over two
cents a gallon the rate on black
strap molasses for use in the man
ufacture of industrial alcohol, and
to restore the existing duty of one
sixtieth of a cent a gallon.
Ifepresentatlvo William E. Hull,
republican, Illinois, proposed an
amendment, t a t h e , commlttoo
amendment raising tho duty to
olght cents a gallon and won out by
tho close vote of 132 to 132. His
victory was only a temporary dno,
however, for the committee nmond
mertt later prevailed instead by a

that the hlghot duty would In
