The radio station ot the New York

of the fliers' safety from the Univer-

that his plane was about 100 miles
from the camp of the -xpedlUon,
which rescued the fliers. The plane
was undamaged when the fliers
started thsir trek to the camp, but
heavy winds soon afterward indicated
to Hassell possibility thst the Great-

Population Decreasee
Citizens of Texline testified thst
property values in the city had de-
creased more than 60 par cent; that
they could not rale* enough tax
money to payoff municipal bonds,
including 686,000 for wster and
lights, and $100,000 for a new school
building; thst one ward school build-
ing had been abandoned, that about
one-third of the business houses and
more than 60 residences are vacant
now, and that the population has de-
creased almost one-half since the
changes were made.
S. A. Covington, general superin-
tendent ef the Denver; John Pfeiffer
of Fort Worth, Denver motive power
superintendent, end J. W. Mode, su-
perintendent of the Amsrillo divi-
sion of the line*, testified for the ap-
plicants.
Their testimony showed that the
shops and termimal at Texline once
employed about, 60 men, with a
monthly payroll of almost '810,000,
snd thst not mors thsn 12 or 16 men
are kept st Texline new. They stat-
ed, however, that all of the equip-
ment. Including the roandhouse,
small machine shops, car shed, turn-
table, eoal shoot, and water tank, are
still there and might be used if
needed.
All Runs Laager New
Their evidence had a tendency to
show that all railways were adopting
tho policy of longer runs for thsir
locomotivs, such as the Denver is
practicing now between Amarillo and
Trinidad, because of economy in
operation. Ia this connection they
testified that no more men had been
Added at etiherAmariloor Trini-
dad after tbs changes were made at
Texline and that the changes repre-
sented a saving of more than $3,000
per month to the railway.
On erona-examination it was
brought out that several cars un-
conditioned on the line in the terri-
tory onee serviced by the Texline
shops sre now brought to Amsrillo
er carried to Trinidad, by attaching
them onto the rear of cabooses. Tech-
aiealltlss of .railroad' operation were
introduced in an effort to determine
if such a practice is considered safe.

The hardest holes to fill says,
Coach Max Cherry, former star

positions left vacant by the gradua-
tion of Fitzgerald and Burris, last
year's stars. The most likely looking
candidates for these holes are LeRoy

field man and may be used in a half-

Other letter men making blda for

PORTLAND, Me., Sept. 4.—With
all of the customary flourishes, and
come beside*. Maine is bringing to a
conclusion another of those state
campaigns in which, every presiden-
tial year, the great national parties
pass through their baptism of fire.
On Monday next the state will
choose a governor, a senator, its full
quota of representatives in Congress:
a legislature, and ether state and
local officials. It will not vote for
president until November, when
everybody else does. For peculiar
reasons, linked with traditions and
tinctured by a background of unwav-
ering Republicanism, the campaign
which ends the current week Is for
Msine the big political event of the

ALBANY. N. Y, Sept. 4. — Gov.
Alfred E. Smith feels confident he
will carry New York state in the
presidential race snd is not worried
by Republicsn claims, he said today.
Ths governor was asked regarding
. the Republican contention that many
who voted for him for governor will
not cast their ballots fot him as
But they hsvo no delusions about
tho dificulties they fees in a state
so dry It was the first of tho forty-
sight to adopt prohibition and so Re:
pubttea it never cast its eleetorak
vote for a Democrat except in the
great Republican disagreement of
1911
Keeping thus apart in her habit of
early voting. Maine has fallen hslr
to a reputation as the “barometer
state” — a reputation based on the
theory tbst s big or little Republi-
can majority for the state ticket in
September indicates a popular swing
to or from the national standard of
thst party. This theory ha* been
preached widely by Republican lead-
en, who always want a smashing Sep-
tember victory in Maine for its psy-
chological effect on the rest of ths
country.
It le not denied that certain con-
siderations In ths present state cam-
paign have served to link up the state
contest with national issues. The
Republican nominee for governor,
William Tudor Gardiner, an immense-
ly popular personality, has stood on
the recotd of both state and national
administrations. Gardiner's Demo-
cratic opponent, Edward C. Moran,
Jr., le a fighting leader of the young-
er generation. He has been a parti-
san of. Gov. Smith from pre-conven-
tion days. Furthermore, the Demo-
cratic senatorial eandidate, Herbert
E. Holmes, who opposes the re-elec-
tion of Senator Frederick Hale for
a third term at Washington, is going
