pressed the fear that boll weevil in-

LONDON, Aug. 4.—The last of
their radio power exhausted In sig-
naling. Captain Frank Courtney and
and his three aides of the flying
whale waited hopelessly at mid-sea
for rescue.
“It was as bad a situation as avia-
tors ever were in,” Courtney radioed
the London Star today.
The radio dispatch to'd how the
Courtney plane caught fire in
mid-air at sea. how ’It landed in
flames and how finally the Minne-
waaka appeared as their savior.
He revealed thai after the land-
ing was made the four in the fly-
ing boat—Courtney. Elwood Hosm-
er, Hugh Gilmour and Fred Pierce
-tried to use a fire extinguisher and
soon it was exhausted.
“The plant' burned fiercely for 15
minutes while wc four stood wait-
ing for the explosion that never
came,” he said
Radio Power Exhausted
Tlie radio of tho mat hino kept up
a constant signaling and after she
had communicated with the Min-
newaska the radio power was ex-
hausted. Courtneys dispatch said
they attempted to use smoke signals*
Lui nearly re-lgnitod the already
partly burned craft.
He said they were made .seasick
by tire rolling craft. Gilmour said
he sighted a ship, said this very
casually, and Courtney reported he
called Glhnour a liar. Finally Court-
most beautiful sight he ever had
■ seen, ■ the “9gBmesreetai— -*rteermisg
towards them.
Plane f'aUhes Fire
TY-lling of the landing on the
water, Courtney said they were at
an altitude cf 1.500 feet and he was
tdklng to Pierce* the mechanic,
when suddenly he saw the flame
of the exhaust had become dull red
and flames were sweeping bgck-
warus toward where Hosmer sat
and beyond the rudder and tall.
He said the situation seemed like
a nightmare. He said even yet it
was difficult to realize that he liad
ncen in n blazing airplane over the
Mld-Atlantlc at midnight. He said
he followed blindly his piloting in-
stinct and that probably was the
reason the four men were saved.

Ptanss Circled Ship
The ship that reported sighting
the plane at midnight said It cir-
cled about the ship after approach-
ing from the west and then depart-
ed in a northerly direction. As a
continued course to the north would
cause It to miss Europe altogether,
most observers felt that this direc-
tion must later have been changed
to northeast unless the explana-
tion of the whole matter Is that the
the flyers were completely lost and
were wandering the skies in ignor-
ance of their whereabouts
It was felt, however, that if this
had been the case the flyers would
have attempted to drop a message
to the steamer asking for position
and direction
R A. Sledge, who has been ac-
I tlve in securing fignatures of prop-
I erty owners on West Hickory Street
for the erection of a White Way
on that street, said "The work is
I still going forward on securing cig-
natures and now there are only

tion These four have net turned

sidering it and I arn tn hpcs that

there are at leas!
bi which agricultural
c«.n be held out without ming the
equalization fee of the McNary
Haugen bill, which Smith has em-
pliaiically rejected.
Further Cvuferenees
It is likely that he will not reach
a conclusion for another two weeks
ns he is confident tliat Peek s trip
will result in further conferences
with other Westerners week after
next, just before hts speech cf ac-
ceptrnce Out of those talks may
come additions to or deletions from
his present plan
The opinion is growing that
Smith may attempt to make farm
relief cne of the biggest Issues of
his campaign and may rnak<* a
much more extensive tour of the
agricultural States than he had in-
tended originally.
It is pointed nut that the Gov-
ernor must make inroads Into the
normally Renublican States in the
Wa.st and Middle West if he hopes
to win the election, and for this
reaaon the co*yi belt may become
cne of the chief battle grounds for
votes.
