LITTLE AMERICA, Antarctica, Aug. 21.—An unfair advantage was taken of the sun yesterday. Offi- cially it was not due back here until tomorrow, but it was So close to the horizon at noon that the men of the Byrd expedition climbed the radio towers and saw it from the top of the Barrier hills. It did not quite detach itself from the clinging sky line, but at least three-quarters of it were visi- ble. Not only that but a seal was killed for fresh meat, the second seal seen this season and the snow shovel gang was out making the end of the long hibernation. This was a perfect day to get the first glimpse of the sun. Early yesterday morning the sky became golden in the northeast and the splash of light moved northward until a thin gold light was shim- mering on the edge of the barrier. Masses of yellow and orange clouds were piled above this shining seg- ment, the pale blue of the sky between them. Almost overhead a coral pink line of clouds stretched like a fairy read and was lost over the horizon. Low in the south was a band of pale blue violet and above that a band of deep rose pink in which was set the full moon like a jewel. It was a pale green yellow moon with a corgna of pale opaline green, an unreal and_= spectral moon. So magnificent were the colors that the men _ shoveling snow stopped and leaned on their shov- els in enjoyment of such beauty. Slowly the colors changed, became deeper and less evanescent as the pulsating gold glow of the north grew wider and stretched further up the sky. All around the camp men dropped shovels and ran for the towers. Joe Rucker and Quin Biackburn and Arnold Clarke Swarmed up behind the command- er. There was part of the sun, a glowing ball of yellow face mag- nified tremenodusly by reflection. All watched it till the unaccus- tomed brilliance forced them to turn away. It had been four long months Since the sun had been seen here. four months of darkness and of twilight, of cold and _ blizzards. Only now we realize how much we missed it and how good it is to see it again: But it will be two days yet be- fore it can be seen above sea level or before it will shine directly on Little America, for the camp lies in a hollow. ACTOR IS FOUND KILLED AFTER TAKING FRIEND HOME Body of Robert Chapman Discoyv- ered at Foot of San Francisco Apartment Airway. SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 21.—The body of Robert Chapman, 28 years old, leading man in the French farce “Easy for Zee Zee,’”’ playing here, was found today in a light well six stories below the. apart- ment of a friend, Allen Hoffman, playwright, whom he had accom- panied home from a party. Police think Chapman was killed by gangsters or persons jealous of his supposed issociation with Miss Elaine Worth, leading woman in the same show. Miss Worth, a Russian, known also as Naana Wortova, figured here recently in the killing of Jer- ry Ferri, with whom she told po- lice she had been living. Ferri, police said, was slain either by bootlegger enemies or by admirers of the young woman. The mys- tery never was cleared up. Hoffman told police two swarthy men rang his doorbell early today and that on answering the bell he was knocked down. Hoffman was found unconscious by his landlady. Marks in the room indicated that Chapman had ,been thrown from the window. NAILED UP, SHOT FROM CANNON FOR MENTIONING A NAME Water Boy King Decrees Tifat Punishment for Those Who Speak of His Rival. PESHAWAR, British India, Aug. 21.—-Habibullah Khan, as Bacho Sakao, Afghanistan’s water boy king, calls himself, has become de- pressed, Afghan reports state, be- cause of the successes of Nadir Khan, who is contesting him for his throne. Consequently he has given or- ders that anyone mentioning the name of Nadir Khan _ shall _ be nailed to a wall by the ears and afterwards blowm trom a cannon, Rebel tribesmen fighting against Habibullah recently captured ia general and his staff and boiied them in oil. Nadir Khan was said to have raised an army of 16,000 men with which he was besieging Gardez, from where Habibullah’s men are deserting daily. Habibullah, who was said to be growing more and more unpopular, has_ prepared three lines of trenches for the de- fense of Kabul itself. Swallows Stolen Diamond.

By the Jefferson City Correspond- ent of the Post-Dispatch. JEFFERSON CITY, Aug. 21. — The experimental street car fare schedule agreed on by the City of St. Louis and St. Louis Public Service Co., providing for sale of 12 street car rides for 90 cents, the tickets to be used in the week in which sold, and a 10-cent cash fare for riders not purchasing tickets, probably will be put into effect within a week, it was learned following a hearing on the sched- ule yesterday afternoon before the Public Service Commission, The Commission will issue an order in the next day or two, call- ing for filing of a schedule by the St. Louis Public Service Co., em- bodying the details of the plan agreed on, for a test period of 60 days. A formal fare tariff then will be filed by the company, complying with the terms of the Commission’s order. Barring delays or other de- velopments, it is planned to put the experimental rates into effect early next week. Hearing Largely a Formality. The hearing yesterday largely was a formality for submission of the details of the proposed sched- ule, which had been worked out in previous conferences of city and company representatives with the Commission, and for presentation of views of the company officers and city officials. Belief of company officers that the test would not be very success- ful was expressed by Stanley Clarke, president of the company. “I am very distinctly of the opinion, and intend to stick to it, that the trial, as suggested by the city, should be of an_ evidential character and should be so re- garded,” he said. “That is our the- ory and really the only basis on which we are willing to take it. “We feel there is somewhat less than a 650-50 chance of the rev- enues from the proposed plan equaling present revenues.” : In view of that belief, Clarke said the company was making some preparations to meet a re- duction in revenues. Success of the experimental fare will depend in large degree on the vigor wit:. which the company pushes the plan, and the extent to which it attempts to popularize it with the public. Should the test result in a reduction of company revenue, that fact could be used by the company to advantage in press- ing its pending claim before ihe Commission for an increase in the present 8-cent fare to 10 cents, four tokens for 35 cents. An _ increase in revenue through the test fare would minimize the chances of the company to get the fare increase sought. The ticket, from a drawing pre- pared by the Public Service Co., looks like a meal ticket. Numbers SAYS REICH WONT PAY FOR ROW ON YOUNG PLAN Stresemann Warns Credit- or Nations of Result of Failure to Reach Agree- ment. POWERS MAKE NEW OFFER TO BRITAIN Propose to Meet 50 Per Cent of Demand, but Get Little Encouragement From Snowden. By the Associated Press. THE HAGUE, Aug. 21. — Dr. Gustav Stresemann, German For- eign Minister, today made an elev- enth-hour effort to save the repa- rations conference by warning the creditor Powers that Germany could not pay the cost of their failure to agree on the Young plan. The German Foreign Minister, at a meeting of the six Powers who had called the conference, left no doubt in the minds of those who heard him that the German Government was determined not to suffer from their disagreements over the distribution of the repa- rations payments by Germany. A meeting of the delegates of the six Powers, held at the request of Stresemann, lasted two hours and a half today, and was adjourned until 10:30 a m. tomorrow morn- ing. A communique issued after- ward said: “At the request of Dr. Strese- mann the delegations of the six in- viting Powers met at 6:30 p. m. to examine the present position of the work of the conference and the measures to be adopted in order to arrive at results.” The four creditor powers, France, Italy, Belgium and Japan had decided as a last attempt to meet the requests of Great Bri- tain, fifth creditor power, to make a definite offer of 50 per cent of the amount demanded by Philip Snowden, British Chancellor of the Exchequer, in excess of the sum allotted Great Britain by § the Young plan. Alberto Pirelli, Italian delegate, had a talk with Snowden but was unable to satisfy the British dele- gate that the Italian offers con- stituted a real inducement. Premier Briand, who, until the past few days, had confined him- self to the political aspects of the conference, and had held aloof from the controversy over the dis- tribution of annuities, continued his efforts to conciliate the views of the four powers with the British standpoint but the pessimism dis- played at the French headquarters indicated his efforts had thus far been unavailing. Italian representations that pre- cise offers to meet the _ British standpoint had been. made were contested in an unofficial British reply. This reply said that, while the Italo-American debt had been settled at 20 per cent of its face value, the Italian debt to Great Britain had been funded to 14 per cent. It was added that if the British Government agreed to such a favorable settlement of the Ital- ian debt, it was because Italy had complained that it had a very small share in German reparations pay- ments and that it was prepared to apply all of the receipts on account of reparations to extinguish its debts. During the day the representa- tives of the four powers interested in the question of evacuation of the Rhineland considered a report on the legality of the proposed com- mission of control. i Dr. Stresemann reiterated the German argument that the League of Nations was the proper tribunal to resort to in case of any com- plaint the French might have to make concerning armament activ- ities on the left bank of the Rhine. The German Foreign Minister held that in any case the commission of control could occupy itself with minor matters only and ‘that conse- quently there was no real reason for it. Premier Briand of France said that the commission was provided for in the Geneva agreement and that the qu>stion of its utility was debatable, but not disproven. $25,000,000 ERROR IN FRANCE’S FAVOR By JOHN L.

Followed Closely by.Cleve- land Pilot — 14 Other Women Land Planes Within Half Hour. By the Associated Press. EL PASO, Tex., Aug. 21— Amelia Earhart, the first woman to fly across the Atlantic, was the first of the flyers in the national women’s air derby to land at the El Paso municipal airport this morning from Douglas. Her plane cross the line at 8:16:14 o’clock. She was closely followed by Mrs, Blanche Noyes, Cleveland, O., who landed at 8:18:46. Fourteen others brought their ships to a stop at the field within a half hour after the arrival of the leader. Mrs. Louise McPhetridge Thaden was credited with an elapsed time of 6:28:1 out of Santa Monical, giv- ing her the lead for the heavy di- vision of the race. Mrs Phoebe Omlie, leader of the light plane di- vision, had an elapsed time of 8:35:24 since the race started. Thea Rasche, German aviatrix, ‘the last of the woman flyers to land, checked in at 12:39 p. m. The woman flyers will remain in El Paso tonight because of bad weather east of here. Charges of Sabotage Discounted by Race Officers. DOUGLAS, Ariz., Aug. 21.—Six- teen contestants remaining in the women’s air derby from Santa Monica, Cal., to Cleveland, O., took off from here at 6:20 a. m. today headed for Mirland, Tex., with stops at El Paso and Pecos. Mrs. Keith Miller, of New Zealand led the flyers, followed by the oth- ers at two minute intervals. In the meantime, Miss Thea Rashe, German aviatrix, arrived at 9:33 from Phoenix, in an effort to overtake the other flyers. She was forced down at Holtville, Cal., on the second day of the flight. The body of Miss Marvel Cros- son, 25-year-old flyer who plunged to a rocky Arizona hillside Monday under a partly opened paracnuute, will be sent back to her family home in San Diego, Cal. Following the San Diego wom- an’s death came insinuations and open charges, for the most part discounted by race officers pending an investigation, that sabotage had been practiced on several planes entered in the contest. Mrs. Claire Fahy, Los Angeles woman forced out of the race at Calexico, Cal., when stay wires of her plane were found severed, reiterated her asser- tion that her plane had been tam- pered with. Prosecutor Orders Inquiry. The stir created by a series of minor m‘3] :ps, climaxed by the death of Miss Crosson, moved the District Attorney’s office of San Bernardino County to order a for- mal hearing today to investigate the handling of the planes at the San Bernardino airport Sunday night. Most of the accidents oc- curred after the planes had left San Bernardino for the cnoss-des- ert flight ‘9 Yuma and Phoenix. Dr. L. W. Apres, chairman of the San Bernardino Race Commi‘ >e, declared he ‘‘could not believe there was any tampering with the planes,”’ “I do believe, however, Dr. Ayres stated, “that there was woe- ful lack of preparation for the cross-country race.” The race chairman reported that Miss Crossén had told him at’ San Bernardmo that her motor had been’ heating. with reducing oil pressure, on the first leg of the flight from Clover Field, Santa Monica. Officers of the Pacific Aeromotive Corporation, that serv- iced Miss Crosson'’s plane, said in Los Angeles, however, that she had made no report to them of any trouble. Mre: Keith Miller of Australia BUILDING ONE-MILE VACUUM TUBE TO TEST LIGHT SPEED Prof. Michelson Afraid 186,284 Miles Per Second Is Few Inches Off. By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, Aug. 21.—A vacuum tube one mile long is being built for use by Prof. A. A. Michelson of the University of Chicago in a new test to determine the speea of light. Back from California, Prof Mi- chelson explained that the test could not be completed this year without the tube. He said he has determined the speed of light to be 186,284 miles a second, but he fears this may be a few inches off. The proposed experiment is now set for next year, for the purpose of checking the accuracy of the previous computation. COSTE TO START TOMORROW IN PURSUIT OF ZEPPELIN French Flyer Hopes to Reach Vliad- ivostok Without Stop on World Flight. By the Associated Press, LE BOURGET, France, Aug. 21. —Dieudonne Coste, French air ace, announced this afternoon he would take off at 5 a m. tomor- row in a flight around the world in pursuit of the German dirigible Graf Zeppelin which he hoped to overtake and pass before she could reach Lakehurst and New York. Coste, flying in the machine with which he recently attempted to cross the Atlantic from East to West, will attempt to make the distance from Le Bourget to Vla- divostok, Siberia, in a_ single flight tomorrow. He says he in- tends to refue! at Vladivostok and then immediately fly to Tokio, which he expects to reach by 9 DP. m., turday. Coste flew across the South At- lantic in 1927 and then made a world f@ght, crossing the Pacific by steamer. $2725 ATTACHMENT ISSUED FOR GARDEN THEATER RENT Flint Garrison Says Action Is Nec- essary to Insure Owners’ Rights. The Garden Theater Co., which owns the Garden Theater on Olive Street road, today obtained an _at- tachment for $2725 against the Theater, Society of St. Louis, the sum representing the unpaid por- tion of the season’s $5000 rental for the open-air auditorium, res- taurant building and parking grounds. The attachment was issued un- der a suit filed in Circuit Court at Clayton with an affidavit by Flint Garrison, president of the Garden Theater Co., to the effect that the attachment was necessary to insure the company’s rights.

There were two developments to- day in the strange case of Sylvester Baldwin, whom Prosecuting Attor- ney Castlen of St. Louis County in- sists he will prosecute for the murder of Todd V. Phelps, bank cashier, in spite of the fact that Sheriff Lill of St. Louis County and Chief of Detectives Kaiser of St. Louis maintain that the slayer was James McGauley, now known in police circels as Baldwin’s “‘dou- ble.”’ The first was the announcement in the forenoon by Sheriff Lill that he had obtained warrants from Justice of the Peace Chase at Fer- guson charging McGauley with murder and Lawrence G, Ahrens with robbery in connection with the $11,200 holdup of the Overland State Bank on Jan. 18, when Phelps was killed. The second occurred in Detroit, where McGauley was convicted by a jury of robbery while armed, and sentenced to life imprisonment in the Michigan penitentiary at Mar- quette. - Chief of Detectives Kaiser, in Detroit, announced he would go to Lansing and ask Gov. Green to parole McGauley so that he might be brought to Missouri for prose- cution in the Overland Bank mur- der, Baldwin, proprietor of the no- torious Plantation Inn in Wellston, and reputed associate of Cuckoo gangsters, is held at Clayton jail awaiting trial, the Prosecutor be- ing prepared to rely principally on the testimony of George Hoech, bank bookkeeper, who identified Baldwin as the slayer of Phelps. In a deposition recently Hoech de- clared he identified Baldwin, not by any particular features, but by the simple process of recognition. On the other hand, McGauley was named as the actual slayer by Ahrens, who is also a prisoner at Clayton. In a confession to Chief Kaiser, which Prosecutor Castlen has chosen to ignore, Ahrens as- serted that he, McGauley and two others were the guilty men, and not Baldwin and William McGraw, who are awaiting trial. To obtain the two warrants last night, Sheriff Lill followed an Original procedure. Instead of ob- taining the usual affidavits from Prosecuting Attorney Castlen, who has announced he will ignore Ah- rens’ confession, Lill swore out af- fidavits of his own. Justices Stecker at Clayton and Ladd at University City refused to issue warrants, so Lill drove on to Fer- guson where Justice Chase accom- modated him. Castlen today declined to com- ment on the new warrants beyond the remark that his office “will take no action on them.” He did not indicate what his action would be when Ahrens, now in fail at Clayton in default of $10,000 bond. is given a preliminary hearing by Justice Chase, Sept. 6. Deputy Sheriff Harry Newbol, returning from Detroit today, re- ported that McGauley had con- fessed to the Detroit robbery on the witness’ stand. McGauley resembles Baldwin when viewed from the side while sitting down, it is noticeably shorter, New- bold said. Questioned by Newbold about the Overland robbery, Mc- Gauley said, “Are those talking down there?’ Later New- bold was told by a police lieuten- ant that McGauley remarked, “I've got a notion to waive and go back there to show those guys up.” As has been told, Baldwin ¢s- caped a five-year penitentiary sen- tence last December when Howard Sidener, as one of his last official acts as Circuit Attorney, dismissed a highway robbery charge against him. Baldwin had been sentenced for a $31.50 holdup of a laundry wagon, but through the persistent efforts of his attorney, Jones H. Patker, Speaker of the House of Representatives, the conviction was reversed and the case remand- Weather TZEPPELIN’S DEPARTURE IS DELAYED BY ACCIDENT Start for Los Angeles Today Uncertain as Two Strutts Are Broken in Taking Craft From Hangar. MOTOR GONDOLA STRIKES GROUND Favorable and Thousands Had Gathered at Airport to Witness Takeoff From Tokio. By the Associated Press. GASUMIGAURA, Aug. 21.—Aft- er the Graf Zeppelin had been damaged early today in being re- moved from her hangar to begin the flight to Los Angeles, Dr. Hugo Eckener, her commander, announced that the flight would not begin until tonight, and possi- bly not until tomorrow , All passengers and crew of the Graf Zeppelin were aboard at 3:47 a. m., and the ground crew began drawing the dirigible from the han- gar at 4:04 a. m. Three minutes later, when the great airship had nearly reached the open, a defec- tive trolley caused the gondola holding the rear motor to strike the earth and two struts were broken. The Graf Zeppelin was returned to the hangar at 4:15 a. m. Dr. Eckener said later repairs to the struts would require eight hours. “IT hope to be able to start this evening,” he said, “although we may be delayed until tomorrow.” By the Associated Press. TOKIO, Aug. 21.—An ideal Oriental sunset today gave assur- ance of most favorable weather for the start oz the Graf Zeppelin’s flight across the Pacific Ocean from here to Tos Angeles. Just before nightfall engineers completed the refueling of the air- ship. Stores, lubricants and food were stowed away for the longest overseas flight yet attempted by any craft. The distance across the Pacific is estimated at 5400 miles, requiring not more than 100 hours of flying. Passengers and crew of the Zep- pelin were busily engaged shop- ping during the last few hours be- tween formal entertainments. The passengers left on a special train for the naval airport at Kasumi- gaura late tonight. Dr. Eckener himself joined the shoppers, but tried without success to purchase a ready-made white suit ag relief from ‘Tokio’s humid heat. He found Japanese ready-made clothes all too small for him. 18 Passengers Booked, The passenger list for the Pa- cific flight totals 18.

Aviation experts abroad the Zep- pelin told the Associated Press cor- respondent today that the flight from Friedrichshafen to Tokio showed the airship’s cruising radius to be so great it might have flown directly from Siberia across the Pacific to the United States, had it not turned south for Tokio. The long flight from Germany to Ja- pan required less than three- fourths of fuel. . The five motors are in excellent condition and the spare power units shipped from Germany to Kasumigaura for emergencies are not needed.
