The Department of Commerce has been allowed about 33.400.000 by Congress to continue the Postofflre Department's work Jn lighting airways for night flying. By July 1, 1928, the Commerce Department will have In operation 'a total of 9,710 mllea of lighted air routes, extending from Boston to the Pacific Coast, from New York to Atlanta and from Chicago to Dallas, with a number of "feeder linea" also equipped for night flying. These beacons are spaced approximately 10 miles apart and cover most of the routes now used for aerial mail transportation.

The Department also has done a lot of work In developing intermediate emergency fields about every 30 miles along the civil airways. These fields are equipped with special Tenting facilities for night landings. Scientific Proprcss. In the scientific field the Department is encouraging the Bureau of Standards in the development of certain radio Instruments for guiding fliers at night through fog and for checking their movements over a known course. The first of these Is a radio beacon, an apparatus by Vthich the plane can be kept on Its course toward a known objective by means of the pilot's equalizing two radio sounds.

Aerial passenger service to date, the recorda ahow. 4ias been scattering and uncertain. Little or r.o money has been made out of It by the operating companies. Regular nlr travelers In sufficient numbers have been hard to recruit out of the rank and flle of American people. The Department of Commerce, In simulating passenger aviation, haa practically a virgin Held to open tin and cultivate before It turns its at-tuition to the transatlantic problem.

Two questions naturally arise: What are the private air companies doing to carry passengers in the United States and what is the Government doing to help them forward During 1926 the records show that 5.782 passengers were carried on regular scheduled air trips In the United States by six companies. The fare each paid averaged 14 cents a mile. This year's number of passengers undoubtedly will much smaller than the 1928 total by reason of the fact that tha company which carried more than half of that total has gone out of business after losing money.

Two other air companies are expected to open up additional passenger service during this summer. These five services are as follows: Los Angeles-Salt Lake City, operated hy the Western Air Express, fare 890; Los Angeles-Seattle, operated by the Pacific Air Transport Com- pany, fare 8132; Detroit-Grand Kaplds, operated by 'the Stout Air Service, fare 818; Pueblo-Cheyenne, operated by the Colorado Airways, round-trip fare 845; New York- Boston, operated by the Colonial Air Transport, fare $25.

Go.W. Pease FUNERAL DIRECTOR N0STUN0 AVI ff HANCOCK Counsel, in Letter to McLaughlin, Repeats Charge of Delay in Furnishing of Data. Kdward Wilson, counsel for the Fay Committee Investigating court congestion, today In a letter to County Judge A'onso O. McLaughlin, answered that jurist's charge that tha committee's remarks concerning alleged laxity In the County Court were In error. Mr.

Wilson said that, although he feels the "picture which has been drawn to substantially correct and fair." the committee will be glad to correct any definite Inaccuracy in the conclusions drawn from the records submitted by the court clerks. On tha question of the committee's failure to give credit for work other than trials, Mr. Wilson said: "Trials were used as our yardstick. Trials are the Important thlnrs. Motions rand ex parte matters are incidental." He admits that Judge McLaugblin record shows more work done than any other judge's on the County Court bench.

Mr. Wilson wrote In part: Repeats Charge of Delay. "Tou say there waa no withholding of records of your court. The facts are that I personally Interviewed Mr. Leonard, assistant to Mr.

tiray. some time before May 25 and told him In general what we wanted, and on May 25 wrote Mr. Gray a letter transmitting printed forms for reports of criminal business and a form for reports of civil business, stating that as the committee 'planned to hold public hearings early in June we should like to get reports for the years 1924, 1925 and 1H2I complete by June 3 and the reports up to the end of May as soon after that as convenient, Mr. Gray testified before the committee on June 23 that he did not do anything about preparing information for the committee until about eight or ten days before the hearing and then he consulted you. On June he wrote me saying that the reports were in course of preparation.

On June 17 reports for Parts 1. 2. 3 and 4 of the court were transmitted to us, and on June 18 reports for Part 6. In the' meantime, the Intending to sit on June 17 to consider your court, had to adjourn its session. "Whether the delay for over two weeks in starting to gather information for a legislative committeo seriously considering a very vital question was paying proper respect to a co-ordinate branch of government and whether the record, as finally handed out was, considering your clerical force, what lt should have been I leave for your characterization.

The facts are as I have stated them. Trials Vsed as Yardstick. "You say that the clerk's minutes of Part 1 show that you were In attendance In the court In June, 1924, whereas our tabulation showed you ar absent. We followed merely the tabulation handed to us. "For purposes of tabulation we disregarded in respect of all courts, including yours, motions, ex parte and Interlocutory business, although our report carried the total number of orders signed, litigated motions and lunacy commitments as reported to us.

Trials were used as our yardstick. Trials are the Important things. Motions and ex parte matters are Incidental. "You say we did not consider an allowance for the length of trials. We took a period of three and a half years in order to make every possible allowance for this.

Even If perhaps you might have had the longest cases, your record shows better than that of any other judge In the court. The same method was followed in the Supreme Court and our results are in accordance, I think, with the general opinion of the Bar as to the expedition or judges. Willing to Correct Inaccuracy. "Taking vour statement that it be gan to become congested in March. 1925.

I have never been able to see why the county judges, who, as the record shows were each trying on an average only nine cases a month, could not have devoted two or three parts to the civil business and re lieve the congestion in that branch of the work, nor am I after a care ful study of your record yet able to see why that should not have been done. As 1 recall it, the Brooklyn Bar Association by formal resolu tlon urged this and sent a com mittee to you asking It. "We never said that judges were brought from up-State In the spring of this year. The record transmitted to us did show that when Judge Nova took a vacation In March. April and May of 1926.

up state Judges were brought In to bold terms for a total of 56 days, which cost the city, at $20 a day, 81,120. "I think I have covered all the matters referred to in your letter. If any definite inaccuracy Is pointed out wa will, of course, be glad to correct lt, but as 1 have Indicated my own Judgment Is that the picture which has been drawn is substan tially correct and fair."

II4.00S. ft Boro Rector Proposes Modified Form of Method of Reaching Agnostic Youth With Less Sex Emphasis. Special to The Eagle.) 8an Francisco, June 28 One of the 'most Interesting as well as one of the several startling things that came out of the Church Congress of the Episcopal Church, which has Just concluded iu sessions here, was the advocacy by the Rev. Granville M. Williams, rector of SU Paul's Church, Carroll Brooklyn, of a modified form of "Buchmanism." At the conclusion of the gathering he remained at the rectory of the Church of the Advent, which is one of the churches supervised by his own religious order.

He appeared surprised to be addressed by a representative of The Kagle out hers at the other end of the continent. Subject of Much Comment, He does not champion all that the Rev. Frank Bucbman teaches. The latter, lt should bo mentioned, left the pulpit of the Lutheran Church In order to work among young people. He became the founder of what Is almost a cult.

"Buchmanism." and his house parties, In which sex matters were openly discussed in mixed compnny, have been the subject of much comment, not to say criticism. Too Rntphasls on Sex. "I feel that Dr. Buchman lays too great an emphasis on sex and the sins to which lt pertains." explained Father Williams, "but there Is much that Is undoubtedly good and fine In his methods. It sou.

is to me that In his religious house parties Dr. Buchman has hit upon a method of reaching the young men and women of today who cannot reached by any other method. "These young men and women, undergraduates or recent graduates of our universities, are critical of the generally accepted moral code, skeptical of Christian doctrine, even of such fundamental things ss the existence of God. the value of prayer and personal Immortality and uninterested in the Church.
