In the excitement someone laid his hand down, and It was thus that the extraordinary coincidence was revealed. The newspapers say that such a hand might not occur again In 100,000.000 deals. This bscame known when County Judge Aileron I. Nova Issued a war rant for his arrest.

When Assistant District Attorney William P. Gcoghan called to trial the grand lar: ceny and forgery charges against Winter, he failed to answer to his name and his attorney, Aaron Kauf-. man, informed Judge Nova that he i had been unable to locate his client.

For more than TWO MONTHS the ambulance-chasing probe haa been conducted behind closed doors in Brooklyn, while in Manhattan a similar inquiry is being conducted with alternate private and PUBLIC hearings. In Manhattan the scandals of ambulance chasing, with its attendant fraud, bribery, corruption and other evils, are being made known so that an informed public opinion will work an ultimate cure. Nobody knows what is going on in the SECRET inquiry in Brooklyn. It is being held in SECRET by the explicit direction of the Appellate Division. Neither Justice Faber, who is presiding, nor Meier Steinbrihk, prosecutor, has indicated a to bring the hearings out into the OPEN.

Former Justice Charles E. Hughes, Justice Normart S. Dike and most of the officers of the various Bar associations that petitioned for the present inquiry have gone on record in favor of PUBLIC hearings. tcr was arrested. Woman Tut up Bail.

One is that innocent persons might be injured. This could be avoided here, as it is in Manhattan, by preliminary private hearings and then bringing out in PUBLIC evidences of wrongdoing found in the private hearing. Mr. Steinbrink said he was being handicapped by lack of funds. The Eagle offered to guarantee the extra cost of PUBLIC hearings, but the offer has been ignored.

Lewis, executive manager of the committee, in testifying in the Federal Trade Commission's investigation of powet utilities. None of the payments was large, and Lewis said they represented solely expenses incurred by the professors for travel and hotel bills to attend "educational meetings." Lewis said his committee was "instrumental in getting a professor" to conduct a speaking course for public utilities' employees In Pueblo, Col.

Robert E. Healy, counsel for the Commission, asked whether there was any copnection between the speaking course and the extension education service conducted by the University of Colorado. Lewis said it was agreed to let the Pueblo c1es3 "operate undet the Jurisdiction of the Colorado extension division." In response to an inquiry about how the course was financed, Healy said the students each paid about $5 and a. small part of the receipts went to the college, while the majority waf used to pay the Instructor. Asked about a $100 check to-the Colorado Public 8ervice Commission, Lewis said it was used "to bear a share of some convention expense."

Big News to Be Crossed by Air? and of the four that actually started over ths Pacific two were never heard of again. One more was lost in a search flight for the two that disappeared. Two well prepared Army aviators were the first to make the hop to Hawaii.

Lieutenants. Lester Maltland and Albert Hagenberger completed the flight on June 29 of last year In a tfl-motored Fokker. They had trouble with their induction compass and the Army Radio Beacon did not help them much, but the successful use -of the air sextant in connection with carefully prepared charts carried them through. To equipment and preliminary study rather than to pilotage and navigation they attributed their success. On Sunday or Monday the Southern Cross expects to take off from Honolulu for a Jump to Suva, FIJI, by far the longest over-water Jump ever Undertaken by any aircraft.

With that leg negotiated the 1. 700-mile hop to Brisbane will bo comparatively simple. It Is evident that 1928 promises to break as many aviation records as 1927. The East-to-West Atlantic hop and another flight to the North Pole are already recorded. The flight to Hawaii has now been 'made for the fifth time.

With Lindbergh's 3.639-mlle flight and Chamberllns 3.923-mlle flight to prove It can be done the valiant airmen of the Southern Cross have good reason to hope for success In their 3.200-mlle Jump-over the vast and lonely spaces of the huge Pacific. Silver Dollar to Take Place of Chinese Tael Washington. June 1 UP) Preliminary steps have been taken by the Nationalist Government group at Shanghai to substitute the Eastern silver dollar as the accounting unit for the old Chinese tael. Reports to the Commerce Department today said that the Nationalist Government had Instructed the Minis-' try of Finance to begin the accounting change as a method of simplifying the monetary system. The new Chinese unit will be the silver dollar.

Speech Seen as Swan Song. Although the dictator's address and the reply by the Dutch Minister, W. J.

Oudendijk, the dean of the corps, avoided any specinc reierenue iu piaus for Chang's early departure, the opin- ton of the diplomats was that the dictator's speech was in the nature, of valedictory. The dictator's assurances of protective arrangements in the immediate future were received as a hopeful indication that the expected handing over of the capital to the Nationalists will be accomplished peacefully. It Is known that an interim Chinese Committee of Safety has already been formed. The committee Is arranging for the orderly transfer of authority to the Incoming forces.

H. H. MISNAMED TREASURER OF U. S. Shaver, Democratic Chairman, Is the Pacific About The successful completion of the San Franclsco-Hpnolulu hop by the Australian-American quartet in the tn-motored monoplane Southern Cross Is announced on the first page of this edition of The Eagle.

Up to an hour before the expected landing the three Wright Whirlwind motors had functioned perfectly, navigation conditions were excellent and the plane's radio was In constant communication with ships and shore stations. Up to the last hours none ox the four successful flights from the Pacific Coast to the Hawaiian Islands of 1927 was so simple and wholly successful as the one completed today. The Army radio beacon functioned. perfectly, nothing went wrong with the plane's mechanical equipment, weather' conditions were ideal and there was practically continuous radio communication to and from the plane throughout the entire Journey. But let no one imagine that the success of Capt.

Charles Klngsford-Smith and his three associates In this first leg of tho proposed flight td Australia is an accident. Both the flight commander and his relief pilot, Charles T. P. Ulm, established records as Australian war fliers. Associated with them are two competent Americans.

Lt. Com. Harry W. Lyon, a veteran merchant marine skipper, served as navigator, and James Warner Is an experienced radio operator. For a year they have been, preparing for this slight with ample financial backing provided by O.

Allan Hancock, a retired Lo Angeles capitalist. Their plane proved Its capacity by a sustained flight of 48 hours In an unsuccessful attempt to break the flight duration record. For a flight of approximately 27 hours they rnrrled 1,200 gallons of gasoline, sufficient to keep thefr plane In the air from 35 to 40 hours. They did not aim for a speed record and traveled consistently at less than too miles an hour. Art Ooebel's record of 26 hours and IS minutes in last year's Dole Derby flight with one companion, which won him the $25000 first prise, Is not likely to be broken.

It Is worth recalling that the Dole Derby proved the dangerous futility of spurring poorly prepared aviators Into an effort to make a dangerous ocean crossing. Of the 16 entrants In that race two were killed before the start, three of the planet were demolished, two others rraxhed on the run a v. two were forced back by plane trouble I Happy as His Term Nears End Goldsborough Legally Dead; Clem Shaver, chairman of the Democratic National Committee, was in New York today to wind up Ills affairs here is chairman.
