BY BOTH ENTRANTS World . Trp : New York, July 23--Although the big race was over, the race rivalry for the globe rotting championship of the Bronx appeared .to be just starting. Friday. a in Raffaele Matullari, "flying iceman, , who dashed around the world for the glory of Mussolini, and Charles ; n (Scandinavian) who raced in Son direction, each claimed victory. is "Two prideful groups of Bronxities t together several months ago and nced the trips. The Italians bet 000 on Matullari and the Swedes - and Norwegians a like amount on Ol- son. The iceman was to race 'from west to east, the chauffeur from east to west, arid netiher was to employ any means of transportation except . regularly establsihed ones. Special chartered boats and airplanes were ruled out. ; The purpose of Matullari's trip, aside from the tribute to Mussolini, was to demonstrate, according to his backers, that established airlines throughout the world are now offer- ing "safe" rapid and comparatively cheap transportation "for even the most inexperienced tourists. The Italian colony in the Bronx considered the iceman especially cap- able of proving this contention, - for Matullari could neither read nor write. Olson, on the other hand, was cho- 'sen because he had been bedridden for years with a broken back. His neighbors felt that any man who had seen so little of the world in so long g time deserved to sec all of it as fast as he could. Matullari started first. He dashed for Cherbourg on a fast steamer, pa- tronized most of the air lines be- tween Cherbourg and Yokohama, éailed swiftly across the Pacific, made the final leg from Victoria to New York by plane, and returned home to receive a medal from Mayor Walker and a hero's welcome in' the Bronx. Olson was not at home when .the "Flying Iceman" came back. ; He was pacing the floor of his lodging in Irkutsk, Siberia, cursing the regularly cstablished Irkutsk- Moscow airplane service, whose pilot had become confused about the cal- . endar and departed ahead of sched- ule, subjecting not counting the de- lay at Irkutsk. 3 But the chauffeur made good time on the rest of the trip and arrived yesterday on_the liner Paris. y As the bt docked he clicked his stop watch and told a cheering crowd of Hansens, Knudsens and Kjell stroms that he had done it in 1 hour and 35 minutes less than Matullari, not counting the delay, at. Irkutsk, An immediate protest was made by Matullari and his backers, and a mixed commission of leading Italians and Scandinavians in the Bronx who had volunteered their - good offices + towards settling the dispute, who ap- pointed to arbitrate, But it seems hardly worth while. Rivalry of the sort that exists in the Bronx will go on regardless.

"The hunter drives his automo- bile to the spot where he has been told that his game is located," said Mrs. Akely, "and shoots down the defenceless animal from his car. He catches it at the moment of its surprise and hesitation and gives it not even a fighting chance for its life." Having punctured the lion-hunt- ing yarns of countless. nimrods, Mrs, Akely then turned her atten< tion to another African myth. The Pygmies of the Belgian Congo, she said, are far from heing the dumb- bels they are usually termed. "The Pygmies are the only blacks in Africa who still. pay no poll tax to any government," point- ed Mrs, Akely. "Officials can't catch them to collect it. I found them a gay, mischievous lit- tle people, whose intelligence is sharp enough in dealing with the problems 'and dangers of their jungle environment." Mrs. Akely, who will soon lead a new expedition into the heart of the Pygmy country for the Ameri- can Museum of Natural History, also found the Pygmies able to distil pure alcohol and bargain for the sale of it with their normal sized neighbors. : She lived among them three months and enjoyed if. They lk- ed her. She gave them salt, and. taught them to "jump the rope" with jungle vines.

MINING EXCHANGE WILL PAY BACK TAX Directors Claim That Non- payment in Past Not Their Fault Toronto, July 23--Directors of the Standard Stock and Mining © Ex- change yesterday afternoon took the lead to place the responsibility for a shortage of $45,000 in the Exchange stock transfer tax account by retain- ing Arthur G. Slaght, K.C,, to advise them on future action. The shortage is in moneys paid to the Exchange for transfer to the Income Tax Branch of the Department of Na- tional Revenue, at Ottawa, and cov- crs a period of five years, according to information obtained last night by The Globe, Heavy penalties are provided inthe case of unpaid Gov- ernment taxes, and the * Dominion Government gross claim is now around around $70,000. Steps have been arleady taken by Mr. Slaght to have the Government forego the penalties on the ground that the Exchange is. an innocent party in the shortage, and, therefore should not be forced to pay the full amount due, according to the audi- tors sent to examine the books from Ottawa, The audit was completed weeks ago, and the finding communi- cated to Norman C, Urquhart, Presi dent: of the Exchange, who, imme- diately consulted ' his directors re- garding what action should be taken. For a time after the Government auditors left the Exchange offices; certain books were missing, but these books have since been located. Ready to Pay Exchange officers have notified the Government that they will pay the amount due as soon as the formal claim is received, There are some fifty members of the Exchange, and according to one estimate made last night the directors may have to levy an assessment of $1,000 each to make good the amount due the Govern- ment. The Exchange is a voluntary associatoin, and the rules gives the directors full power to act. According to the law each firm as- sociated with the Exchange is coms pelled to send a cheque to the Ex- change for the Government tax on the business done each week. The average is about 30 cents on each thousand dollars and in the aggregate amount to a very large sum each week.
