Hopping off at Harbor Grace, Newfoundland, Saturday, the Pride of Detroit In Its flight of 28 hours and 81 minutes ran the gcmut of weather conditions across the 1,850 miles of AtlanUo waste. Lightning, thunder, fog, rain, wind and sunshine as wall as freezing weather, and all the other variations ot the elements, added danger and excitement to the, great adventure. Without a wink of sleep and with only one sandwich each during the long flight, the intrepid American pilots kept their plane headed atralght for England.

He denied all knowledge of the crime. The patrolman's arrest waa ordered by District Attorney John E. Megheen after detectives had traced Graham's movements for a week before and several hours after the crime and had rounded up several witnesses, whom they claim connected him with the crime. Graham, police said, had been the patrolman usually assigned to accompany Pratt, when the con- structlon man took money to pay employee of his company engaged In the building of an apartment house on East Fifty-second street. Last Monday, police records show, Graham asked and was granted a sick leave.

STEWART Exclusive Dispatch to Albuquerque Journal WASHINGTON. Ausr. 28. Pres- ideht Coolidge la urging the United States snipping board to make another strenuous effort to get the national mercantile marine out of the government'! and into private hands. His suggestion that it be done immediately la the best preslden tlal Joke in this countrp's.

history up to date. If it can Jbe done at alt it will be a miracle. -v We had a fine privately owned merchant fleet when the American republic was young at least the equal of any on earth. All of us have heard of "the old clipper ship days," with our flag flying on every sea. This fleet decayed; Anally all but disappeared from the oceans.

It Is not hard to understand why. Shipping profits were small compared with the enormous returns from opening up the west. Our importers and exporters hired alien bottoms to carry their goods. The world war found us with practically no mercantile marine of our own whatever a few craft on the Pacific, a little coastal trade nothing else. And Immediately all he foreign vessels we had been employing were withdrawn.

The situation was difficult and became absolutely Impossible when we sntered the conflict. Shipping, for many years, previously an industry of exceedingly narrow margins, h-d become tern, porarlly very profitable, despite its risks from raid' rs, surface and submarine, but the emergency was too urgent to wait for private enterprise to take advantage of It; so the government began building In desperate haste and turned out. at fancy prices, the moRt amazing flotilla of open-work crates, concrete troughs and leaky tea kettles In maritime history, sacred or profane. The war over, the point was speedily rataed that merchant shipping is no suitable business tut the government be In any more than railroading or telegraphy, which some govern-ments do engage In, as a matter of fact, but which most of us, here in America, regard as much better left to private concerns. Finding buyers for ths government's fleet, however, did not prove to be so easy.

For the vessels of the fruit basket, masonry and tinware types construction there naturally was no market at any price. True, there were exceptions. Some of the craft of our own make were reasonably seaworthy, though mostly unduly costly to operate. There were also the ships we had lelxed from Germany all that any owner could ask. Tet, peace having been restored and the opportunity for demanding enormous rates being cut off, shipping, at best, was not tne bonanza it had been.

It la especially an expensive game out of American ports. We all know that prices here are high.

At times ws were two miles up.

MOTHERS Thousands Line Streets as Cortege Marches Through Drizzle; Little Disorder Is Displayed BOSTON, Aug. 28 (AP) After a silent procession through eight miles of city streets, while more than 100,000 persons looked on, the bodies of Nicola Sacco and Bartplomeo Vanzetti were reduced to ashes late Sunday at the Forest Hills crematorium. The ashes will be turned over to Mrs. Rose Sacco and Miss Luigia Vanzetti, widow and sister of the two executed radicals. The ceremony at the cemetery was brief and simple.

There were no religious exercises, but Miss Mary Donovan, a member of the Sacco-Vanzettf defense comittee, read a prepared eulogy in which she termed Sacco and Vanzetti "victims of the crassest plutocracy the world has known since ancient Rome." A persistent drizzle did not deter thousands from Joining in the procession. Thousands more lined the streets as the silent cortege passed. At times the line was halted white mounted police, to the number of more than two score, cleared the way. For the most part the march was orderly. Several times, when police attempted to check the following throng, there were outbursts of protest, but once the procession left the downtown section it was speeded up and by the time the cemetery was reached the onlookers and followers had been reduced to a tew hundred.

Flora! Tributes The bodies of the two men were carried in hearses. At the start of the procession there were about 100 men and women bearing floral tributes. These later were placed In four large automobiles' and taken to the cemetery. Following the hearses were two closed automobiles with the cur tains drawn. The first contained Mrs.

Sacco, Miss Vanzetti and Sacco 'a son, Dante. In the other were Aldlno Fellcanl, Gardner Jackson and Mies Donovan of the defense committee. The curtains of the first car remained down through out the procession. Mrs. Sacco Miss Vanzetti and Dante did not enter the crematorium chapel where the last rites were held.

A heated discussion between the French flyer Drouhln and Charles Levine occurred Sunday and at one time It looked as it there would be another pugilistic encounter, which would have made Levlne's record two on consecutive days. The American aviation promoter arrived at Le Bourget at noon and asked Drouhln to take him to Deauvllle, as he desired to see the Grand Prix. He proposed that the flight be made In some other machine than the Columbia.

Drouhln refused, saying he had been engaged for a trans-Atlantic flight aboard the Columbia and not to act as a taxi driver between Paris and Deauvllle. Levine retaliated by having the fuel tanks of the Columbia emptied, while Drouhln protested. Strong words were exchanged, but finally quiet was restored. Drouhln then ordered the mechanics to remain near the Columbia at all times and have fuel ready to refill the tanks at a minute's notice.
