Although a report went the rounds that the motor of the trans-Atlantic plane was In bad condition, naval officers generally were of the opinion that the fault was of minor Import ance and one that might happen fre quently with any motor. A new piston rod was Installed to take the place of one found slightly cracked this morning after Lindbergh had tinkered with the motor for more than half an hour. Army officers at Boiling Field ascribed the trouble Lindbergh had with the gas of the plane he flew to New York, to the flier's misunder standing of Instructions given him just before he hopped off.

T. York, of Kilby trison. -When we received the telegram," Warden York said, "we called Jackson and they did not deny that a party of five men had left there for Kilby.

"We did not talk to the chief of police of Jackson, but talked to a deputy sheriff In Jackson," he said.

It is supposed that the first display of the Stars and Stripes at a military post was at Fort Schuyler, on the present site of Rome, N. Y. The fort was besieged early in the month of August, 1777, and the garrison was without a flag. So they made one according to the prescription of congress by cutting up sheets to form the white stripes, bits of a woman's red petticoat to form the red stripes and the blue ground for the stars was composed of the army coat belonging to Captain Abraham Paul Jones, as commander of the Ranger, to which he was appointed June 14, 1777, claimed that he was the first to display the Stars and Stripes on a naval vessel. It is pro bable that the flag was first un furled in battle on banks of the Brandywine Sept.

11, 1777, the first battle after its adoption. It first appeared over a stronghold June 28, 1778, when, Captain Rathbone of the American sloop-of-war Providence, captured Fort Nassua, New Provi dence, Bahama Islands. i John Singleton Copley, the eml nent American painter, claimed to be the first to display the flag in Great Britian.
