Gunther of Holland. The Canadian won. his semi-final heat with F. Bradley of Pembroke College, Cambridge, today while Gunther was defeating Viscount Ti- verton. Wright won by a length and a half in 10 minutes and 30 seconds. The slow time was largely accounted for by the extremely unfavorable con- ditions, rough water and a strong head wind slowing up the scullers. It was a dramatic finish of a see- saw race. After taking an early lead which he held for nearly a mile, Wright slowed up considerably and Mradley passed him. Just before the finish "Wright mustered his strength for a desperate finish, and wore down his. opponent who tired under the strain of Wright's chal lenge. The race was rowed in the teeth of a head wind and half gale. When the starting gun was fired, the Can- adian started off at a much higher rate of speed than his opponent, stroking 10, 18 and 32 for the first minute, as compared with Brad- ley's 8, 14 and 27. Wright immediately shot into the lead, and when the quarter mile post was reached a shell's leng ar- ated the two scullers. emegham barrier was reached in 2 minutes, 55 seconds. Wright had increased his advantage to one: and three- quarter lengths at the half mile post, but Bradley decreased this to one length by a spurt near Fawley, which was passed in 4 minutes, 58 sec- onds, Bradley continued to gain on the Canadian, cutting down his lead to a quarter of a length at the three- quarter mile post, and finally pulled into the lead. Passing the Remen- ham Club, Bradley was a length in front at the mile post. Wright, who was not sculling well, appeared troubled by the head wind. Along the enclosure, Wright made his great effort and Bradley, in attempting to hold him off, tired rapidly, and Wright caught him off Phyllis Court and won a great race.

The King will attend to offer thanks- giving along with his subjects, and Queen Mary and virtually the whole Royal Family will be pres- ent, So far as is possible, those in charge of arrangements have siriv- en to eliminate all ostentatious ceremony. The number of reserv- ed seats in Abbey has been kept at the lowest possible limn, and the nave will be entirely open to the earliest comers. It is hoped the people will attend the thanks- giving services at their customary places' of worship or elsewhere. in their own neighborhood.. But un- doubtedly crowds will flock to Westminster Abbey. His Majesty and Queen Mary will arrive at the Abbey a few uinytes before eleven o "clock.

Chicago Tribune, was in the air at 9.37 this morning, according to a message re- ceived here by the federal depart- ment of Marine and Fisheries from the government wireless station at Port Burwell, on the Hudson Straits. The government radio men in northern post heard the plane call- ing at that hour. The signals were loud. Reports from Port Burwell indic- ate that the weather along the Hud- son Straits is bad. The government station is broadcasting the weather every other hour for the benefit of the fliers. While, in the absence of other news, the plane's situation can be only conjectured, the Burwell mes- sage is taken to indicate one of two things: Either that the *"'Untin' Bowler" took the air in order to receive the weather reports, or, in view of the loudness of the signals, that it was continuing its flight from Chicago to Berlin. , the Man Woundedin Gun Battle With Coastguards Escaped by Swimming to Island--Companion Captured Windsor, Ont, July 5.--One man was wounded and another is be- lieved to have been captured by the United States coastguard offi- cers in a gun battle off Fighting Island 'in Detroit River early to- day.

The car was manned by imported operators and was guarded by a squad of police armed with sawed- off shotguns and pistols. Strikers and their sympathizers hurled bricks at the car as it went through Canal street, but no seri- ous injuries were reported. The service was begun after a night of fierce hand to hand gang fighting between strike sympthiz- ers and workers in which one man was probably fatally shot and more than two hundred slightly hurt. SALARIES ARE NEW LABOR TROUBLE Increased Salaries Announc-| ed by Ramsay * MacDonald (By Canadian Press Leased Wire) London, July 6. -- The question of salaries has begun to worry Great Britain's new Labor parlia- mentarians and as a result of dis- cussion on the matter the country at large is awakening to the fact its government has been in the hands of wealthy men, . Prime Minister Ramsay MacDon- ald announced yesterday in tme Commons he had increased the salary of J. H. Thomas, Lord Pri- vy Seal, from the 2,000 pounds (ahout $10,000) he drew at that post to 5,000 pounds (about $25, 000) because of extra duties un- dertaken as minister in charge of unemployment. There hasb een sofe discussion of the paucity of the' salaries »>f the Prime Minster and the Chan- cellor of the Exchequer, which are only 5000 pounds (about $25,000) each, barely enough to keep up the official residences in Downing street. This was a matter of lit- tle concern when the office holders were wealthy men, but the situa- British Ruler's Youngest Son Is Speaker London, July 5.--Prince George, youngest of the British ruler's sons, spoke today at the opening of the Homeopathic Congress, whose de- legates include 250 American hbme- opathic doctors.

Dashing out from behind a line of cars which had stopped in obea- fence to a traffic officer's upraised hand, the car driven by Van Nest, drove over the pedestrians' right- of-way, police say. The victim was crossing from the south to the north side of the street. The machine proceeded, accord- ing to witnesses, about 100 yards and then pulled up at the side of the roadway just as acting In- spector Parrish of No. 6 division came up. Van Nest was immedi- ately put under arrest. Harvey D. Switzer, 21, of Lan- sing, Mich.,, whe was in the car with Van Nest, was arrested on a charge of drunkenness by Patrol Sergeant Savage.

Hon. Arthus Henderson, foreign secretary, had a surprise for the House of Commons today, The legal experts of the for= eign office held that diplomatic re- lations with Russia had not been severed at all, he said. Their view was that as recognition had never been withdrawn diplomatic relations had not been broken. . What was now sought by the Labor Government was resumption. of normal trading and: commercial relations. "If diplomatic - relations have not been broken them what has' happen~ ed," questioned Lief Jones, Liberal member of Camborne, Cornwall, in a puzzled tone. Mr. Henderson repeated 'that he was giving the opinion of legal ad«| visers of the foreign office. He pro mised to consult' them' further, All through the debate of forei affairs today there was; a constan insistence on the intention to consul the Dominions both on signature ol the optional clause of the. Worl Court statutes and on relations wit Russia, On the optional clause, sign. ing of which would compel placin, international legal questions befor the permanent court of Internationa Justice at the Hague, the {foreig secretary remarked however that h had not said the British Government would abandon its position if ones single Oominion should decline to! sign the clause, iy "Then if the Dominions do n agree to signing the optional clause,- does that mean the government wilk, abandon its position?" asked Sin Frederick Hall, Conservative member for Camberwell, Dulwich, "I think," returned Mr. Henderson, lapsing into the famous Asquithian phrase, "that the honorable gentle« man had better wait and see. Mr. Henderson went on to say that when the Labor Government repre sentatives attended the League of Nations assembly in 1924 they had' made ne move without first collaw borating with the representatives of all the Dominions .

The Fourth of July death list this year was 46 under 1928, the reduc- tion being attributable chiefly to the decrease in the number of deaths from drowning and from the heat. In only one division did the 1929 fatalities exceed last year's, and that was in automobile accidents with 70 this year as compared with 54 last. Fireworks in themselves continued to play a smaller part in the ' na- tion's Independence Day death roll. Only seven fatalities from this'cause were reported this year as compared with 11 in 1928; and two of them resulted from a fireworks 'factory explosion and fire July 3.
