' THE I DAILY TIMES, THURSDAY, MAY 28, 193f J PAGE SEVEN Famons Canadian Flier Drives Ford ! Jall their powers upon my country. Captain W. R. May, well known for his rescue flights In the Sub Arctic, with his new Ford Victoria--and his famous plane. OP" MAY, they call him in Edmonton and the frigid northern wastes where he and his sirplane are familiar sights. More formally he is Captain W. R. May, chief pilot of Commercial Air- ways, operating the farthest north air mail route in the world, between Edmontoh and Aklavik, the trading post where the Mackenzie river empties into the Arctic ocean. Captain May's fame in the North- west is almost legendary. In 1929 he was awarded the McKee trophy for having made the greatest con- tribution that year to the progress of Canadian Aviation. On several occasions he is credited with having flown through impossible weather on rescue missions in the far North. During the great war, Captain May, an officer of the R. A. F., shot down 13 planes, two in a single en- counter. It was his doubtful pleas- ure to be on the receiving end of Baron von Richtofen"s guns when that greatest of German aces met his death. May, on his first trip over the lines, was being pursued by Rich- tofen. The guns of Mays plane jammed but he managed to dodge through the Red Baron's tracers until Captain A. Roy Brown, of Toronto, May's squadron leader, shot down the German and his plane. Captain May was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross for con- splcuous courage over Amiens in 1918, } Interim Report On Sealing Disaster 2a St. John's Nfld, 'May 22.-- Proof that powder escaping from loose containers was found on the deck of the ill-fated sealing, steamer, Viking, is contained in evidence abducted by the Royal Commission inquiring into the disastrous explosion, according to an interim report submitted by the Commission, The report, suggesting several méans of guarding against the tragedy, was addressed (o His Excellency the Governor-in-Coun- cil and signed by the three com- missioners, Sir Willlam Horwood, Chief Justice of Newfoundland, 1. R. Randell and M. G. Dalton. It reads: "We, the Commissioners ap- pointed to enquire into and re- port to Your Excellency on the loss of the steamship Viking and all matters connected therswith, beg leave to submit the follow- ing interim report: "We would respectfully inforr: Your Excellency that from the evidence already taken before us it has been proven that the pow- der carried on board the ship was contained in tins (or corrug- ated sheet iron containers with seams pressed together, so inse- cuely fastened that in the course of handling the tins, powder ¢s- caped therefrom and was found on the deck of the ship. "Our purpose in immediately reporting this fact is te enable Your Excellency to .consider as early as convenient whether the importation of powder should be permitted except in wooden wa- ter-tight kegs or packages having inside a linent bag or other com- tainer capable of preventing the escape of 'powder, and having printed 'on the outside of the keg or package the word DANGER. "We would also respectfully ask Your Excellency to consider whether regulations should not be made to prevent gun powder or other explosives being taken on board ship except by a per- mit from an Inspector of Explo- sivés, who should be satisfied that all necessary. precautions are he- ing observed and that no powder should be allowed on board any vessel except under a permit, and that before the permit 1s grant ed the Inspector sshould ascer- tain that there has Leen provid- ed as a receptacle for sucn pow- der a safe magazine or closed room in the hoid or other safe place in the vessel, the key of which is to be in the possecssicn of an officer especially designated for that purpose." Evidence that thorough c¢xam- ination of wreckage from the Vi- king's stern, where the gunpow- der was stored, revealed no pow- der marks, was given during the inquiry by Captain Wes, Kean, veteran sealing master of the steamer Sagona, one of the "edcue ships, The wreckage he 2xamin- ed was that which bore Henry J. Sargent, only surviving member of the United States motion pic- ture trio. Captain Xean gaid there was nothing to show that gunpowder had been near this wreckage and he had no knowl- edge as to whether it was the bailer or magazine that firs: ex- ploded. He saw no powder or blasting tins among the debris from the explosion, although these tins frequently come to the surface and remain on the ice after being exploded. Captain Kean expressed confi- dence that if one tin of zunpow- der in the Viking"s magazine ex- ploded, less than one-half the re- remaining tins would blow up, for the reason that most would he scattered by the first explo- sion. Martin Gladney, druggist who acted as doctor on the Viking. during last year's prosecution of the seal fishery, told how he and Captain Kennedy found a burn- ing towel in the bosun's quarters on March 19, 1930. The towel was hanging over an electric bulb and if it had not heen dis- covered in time, said Gladney, all hands would have been lost. On a previous occasion, said the wit- ness, the bosun had been spoken to for having left an oil heater burning when no one was in his room. A woman entered a library and asked for "Kegs and Nails," It turned out that the book she want- ed was "Cakes and Ale." The other case is historical and relates how a request "for "Milk and Asparagus Lost" was sent to Mrs, Thrale, Dr, Johnson's friend. The best the lady could make of it was Milton's "Paradise Lost," which valumc she sent. "We are going fifty miles an hour. Are you game for another ten?" said a motorist to his com- panion, "Yes," she replied, as she swal- lowed another mouthful of dust, "I'm full of grit."

J. C. Webster, R. H. Foss, E. C. Cox and Capt. H. Spooner competed in efforts to land closest to a frag- ment of canvas pinned down on the sod of St. Hubert. Mr. Foss won the competition by bringing his de- Haviland Moth down with an aver- age of" 13 feet between it and the marker. On his first trial he was only four feet away from the can- vas, Gusty Winds The balloon bursters met with severe difficulty in annihilating the a | buoyant spheroids because of the gusty wind and the poor visibility. Their aim- was to itch the three loosely connected balloons with their whirling propellers, but only one man succeeded in doing so. This again was Mr: Foss who slashed the rubber' of his three balloons into ribbons within one minute and 35 seconds of their release, In the treasure hunt competitors were given their first clue and al- lowed to take off at 20 minute intei- vals in order that there should he no possibility of following cach otl- er. The first clue led them several miles north of St. Hubert field to a pasture. Here they discovered 2 second clue which took them to the LaSalle field. From this point they were directed back to the centre of St. Hubert 'and there they finally found the last clue which took them to the treasure concealed in one of the ships occupying the club hangs ar, Mr, apd Mrs, J.

Blames Reparations Unemployment in Germany ac- cording to Mr. Frerk, is not affect- |" ed by the dumping of Russian raw materials. In fact, German industry is at present benefitted by it since it is not a producer of raw materials but imports many, Yet the depression is more serious in Germany than in any other coun- try, and Mr. Frerk believes that it is due in large measure to the reparations payments, "You other countries; our former |. opponents, are beginning to realize that too, and a downward revision of the reparations seems to be com- ing closer. And come it must, for you soon will see that a Communist Germany will be a greater menace to you than ever the danger from us was during' the pre-war days." he | said. vag ----r---------- CRIME INENGLAND | SMART IN ILLINOFS Effort to Extradite Factor For Fraud is Con- tinuing -------- May, 28.--U.P.)--Inter- national complications entered Tuesday into the case of John "Jake the Barber" Factor, who re- mained "safe" in the custody of American policemen - despite Eng- land's cfforts to' extradite him on charges of accepting $2,315,000 "which he knew had been obtained fraudulently." . Although Factor denied it, police here believe that the constant com- panionship of two United States deputy marshals was not altogether unwelcome to him. The marshals served the double purpose, the police said, of acting as both guards and bodyguards for the ex-barber, who refused to say whether he's an American or an Englishman, and who, regardless of his nationality, is generally accred- ited with Having accomplished the long jump from cut-rate barber to multi-millionaire within the period of 15 Ja Commissioner Edwin Wal- ker od Factor's status of being under arrest, yet not under arrest, could not continue much longer and indicated he planned soon either to admit Factor to bail, extradite him or send him to jail. Factor has been 'staying in a hotel with the marshals always nearby. Not an Offence The principal question at Tues- day's hearing before Walker was whether a man arrested in Illinois could be extradited to England on a charge which in this state is not considered an offence, Factor surrendered here to face charges originating in England. | Tuesday these charges were made clear when 250 pages of depositions were offered. They showed the charge was not that of swindling but of "accepting money which he knew had been obtained fraudulent- ly." His attorneys contended that inasmuch as 1llinois statutes do not mention any such charge, Factor could not be extradited, In presenting their arguments, Factor's attorneys, led by U. S. Senator Otis F. Glenn, contended that Factor merely had "outsmart- ed" English financiers and brokers who now were trying to make Am- erica a "collecting agency" to get back for them the money they had ost In the volumnous depositions it was charged that Factor obtained his millions largely through publica- tion in London of financial papers edited by "Norman Spencer". who, it was claimed was a character, "Through this paper, it was charg- ed, the character "Spencer" who reality was Factor, advised Engel men to buy stocks which it now is claimed were worthless.
