MUSSOLINI SENDING PLANE. Rome, April 6. (-P) Premier Mussolini, replying to a request by Com. Francesco de Pinedo, has ordered the shipment to New York of an airplane, now in the service of the Italian air forces, to replace the commander's plane, the Santa Maria, which was destroyed by fire Wednesday at Roosevelt Dam, Ariz. The Stefano news agency, in announcing the buring of the plane and the request of Com.

Wednesday, for Roosevelt dam, Arizona. He took off on his first attempt, running only a short distance before the plane left the water. He started with the plane lightened 1.000 pounds by the removal of extra parts and excess luggage. He carried only 250 gallons of gasoline. Radiator trouble, believed caused by altitude, defeated the final attempt of Commander de Tinedo Tuesday afternoon to take off for Roosevelt dam.

After lightening his ship by the removal of about 700 pounds of luggage, spare parts and apparatus. Commander de Pinedo finally succeeded in raising from the water of the lake at 1:15 o'clock in the afternoon, on his hop to Phoenix. The departure of the flyer came a a surprise, although he had been expected to try to take off Tuesday afternoon, liefore returning to li's plane after dropping his baggage. De Pinedo said: "I'll make one more try." He had sacrificed half of the 500 gallons of gasoline in his tank, after working seven hours in his efforts to take off. In accordance with bis plans as anounced to tin Associated Press Monday night, 1 Pinedo headed west by south toward Doming.

The engine, as a result of an intensive morning trial and the altitude, overheated almost immediately. Satisfied, however, that his ship was in flying condition, the aviator returned to the dam to make a fresh start Wednesday morning.

Belgrade, Jugo-Siavia, April 6. (J1 A Bucharest dispatch received by Politika at o'clock Wednesday night said that King Ferdinand of Rumania was expected to die during the night, and that ail last rtlitrious rites had been performed. Bucharest. Rumania. April 6.

(VF King Ferdinand's condition was extremely grave Wednesday morning, notwithstanding a slight rally which revived the hopes of an anxious country.

CAROL IN NEU1LLY.

Paris. April Former Crown Prince Carol of Rumania still was at Neuilly Wednesday, a waiting summons to the sickbed of his father. King Ferdinand, at Bucharest. The Faris Journal learns that he is T-einsr closely observed by a group of financiers specially interested in Rumanian petroleum. The newspapers say that the group has purchased two planes, ostensibly to aid Carol in getting to Rumania quickly should he desire to do so.

Visitors at Carol's Neuilly vilia have steadfastly refused to discuss his plans, and the Rumanian legation pleads ignorance of his affairs and intentions. It is understood, however, that the police guard at the villa was augmented at the special request of the legation. It is the opinion of some observers that Carol is arranging to set up some sort of organization with the object of regaining his rights to the throne which he renounced more than a year ago. They base their opinion on the fact that he has installed some office furniture in his villa. Much Construction Is In Prospect for Sidney This Season Sidney, April 6.

Urieve and Mrs C. W. Bow. n. 66 The smoked No bite Because (Continued From Page 1) .1 alternative routes wore suggested but several years ago residents cf Red Lodge revived the plan for a Red Lodge route.

Pr. J. C. Siegfriedt was a poineer in tho movement and started his Black and White trail, following much the same route, which he planned to build by popular subscription. The Beartooth Boosters of Red Lodge started the movement to secure a road in co-operation with the government two yea-s ago last December under the leadership of O.

II. P. Shelley. In May, 1925. the project had been sufficiently advanced that the forest service agreed to make a reconnaissance survey, which was made by B.

F. Kitt, assistant highway engineer, and F. E. Thieme, district engineer of the fore st service. At that time, the Red Lodge promoters believed that a serviceable road, such as is known as a forest maintenance road could be built fcr about $500,000 or even 'ess.

The engineers hewever brought in a report which recommended a standard highway and estimated the cost a' il. 144. 165, the figures in the recent bill. The standard highway calls for a grade of not more than 5 per cent and at least 30 feet wide and built to withstand fairly heavy traffic. In order to s.eure the proper grade, a distance of 6S.5 miles is required for the 55 miles of general distance between the two points.

At the first session of the Sixty-nin'li congress, a bill was presented by the Montana delegation calling for the use of unexpended monies from Montana quota of public road funds which were about to revert and would be used ether states, for the construction of the proposed road. This bill passed the senate but failed to pass the house. The promoters of the plan during the summe: set out to show the advantages of the proposed lov.te to the federal departmen heads and last fall were able to come before congress wiih the hearty support of the two interested departments foi the measure. During the fight for the bill, several delegations from Red Lodge and vicinity had gone to 'Washington to assist in getting serious considt ration of the plan Mr. Shelley especially has been in "Washington much of the time during sessions of congress and has worked persistently in its behalf and the present favorable outlook is largely due to his services.

The Billings Commercial club has co-operated with the 'Red Lodge people in their efforts throughout the fight for the highway. Reaches Many Fields. The value of the new federal highway reaches out into many fields. Economically, it will mean an outlet for Cooke City ores of copper, lead, silver and gold in a region whose development has been handicapped by the difficulty in getting the ore to market. It will also open up a great field of chrome deposits which are becoming increasingly valuable with the use of the product in making high grade steel for auto gears and other machine parts.

'With coal deposits at Red Lodge, the opening the road may mean the developing of a new smelting center at 'Red Lodge. From a scenic standpoint, there is little question, that the new route will outstrip any present entrance to the park in variety of attraction. Runn.ng for a distance of nearly 20 miles above timber-line and reaching an elevation of in, 600 feet, the route will give tourists a unique type of scenery which is ordinarily only seen by mountain climbers. Wonderful trout lakes and streams, high peaks, numerous glaciers, including several which contain grasshopper remains and many strange phenomena of the alpine districts will be unfolded before the traveler. The new route will undoubtedly bring many additional tourists to Billings and Red Lodge.

New Road's Route. The route which the new road will follow has been regarded for many years as a feasible highway project. The road from Red Lodge goes up the main fork of Rock creek with a good auto trail as far as Richel Lodge. From there the route will follow along the present horse trail by Hellroaring basin and Tin Can camp. The climb up to the plateau is made by a series of switchbacks, leaving Rock creek between 'Wyoming and Chain creeks and the top about two miles east of the- present Slide Rock trail.

The road will then follow on top of the plateau in the same general westerly direction as the present trail to Beartooth lake. From the lak-? the road will descend to the Clark's Fork, about two mile. from Nordquist ranch and will then follow the present auto trail up the Clark' Fork and across the Soda Butte divide to Cooke City. Most of the road is in the Beartooth and Shoshone forests. Baker Voters Rename Two to City Council Baker, April 6.

The raid was still in progress Wednesday night, with the search of various buildings within the embassy compound. The soviet embassy proper had not been entered Wednesday night, but it was stated that the soviet authorities regarded the premises raided as part of the embassy.

The Americans detained in an entirely separate incident were Mrs. Mildred Mitchell, formerly of San Francisco and Honolulu, and Wilbur Rurton, both of whom are connected with publications which have been accused of hostility to the northern cause. It Is believed that the Americans will b'e allowed to leave Peking shortly. STRIKE AGAINST YANKEES. Shanghai, April 6.

While foreigners Wednesday continued their exodus from the Cantonese controlled sections of China, and from the northern districts into which the Cantonese are threatening to extend their power, agitation definitely against Americans was reported to have broken out at Changsha, capital of the Province of Hunan in southern China. The agitation has taken the form of a strike and boycott, of American goods, both going into effect at noon Monday. Messages from Changsha, which recently I became the center of anti-foreign aglta-j tion, say that the American consul there has gone aboard the I'nited States gun-; boat I'alos on the Siang river. The labor and anti-foreign a i a tions in Changsha have resulted in the general evacuation of foreigners from Hunan which will be completed shortly. PLOT DISCOVERED.

London, April 6. JP The Westminster Gazette says Wednesday that it is learned from well informed circles in close touch with Chinese-Russian affairs, that the action of the Peking authorities in raiding soviet buildings Wednesday morning was due to the discovery of a plot against the Peking government, hatched under soviet auspices. MARINES SAIL TODAY. San Diego, April 6. 0P An echo of the war cry that rang through the streets of San Diego exactly 10 years ago rose again Wednesday in the base here as 1,500 "leathernecks" stowed the last of their gear aboard the transport Henderson and made ready to sail for Chtna.

Her decks cluttered with 75 mm. guns and other equipment, lashed down for the 22-day trip to Shanghai, the Henderson awaited only the embarkation of the last 1,000 men. The first group, 500 men, went aboard late Tuesday. The transport expects to turn westward early Thursday morning. Working at top speed, detachments of sea soldiers expected to have the last of 10 train loads of troops, ammunition and supplies aboard before midnight.

Kxcept for the playing of "Semper Fidelis" and "The Star Spangled Banner," the official good-byes have been said. Wednesday was given to wives, sweet hearts and friends. But the marine base will still have its marines after the Henderson leaves. An- other regiment is being mobilized under command of Col. Henry Davis to stand by here for possible foreign service.

1 THOMPSON TO (Continued From Page 1) Mr. Thompson. My husband is not a loser. He never has lost anything." Mayor Dever's "heel of Achilles," as i one political observer phrased it was his rugged policy concerning Yolstead act enforcement, although personally, he is a foe of the dry legislation. Thompson indicated that he did not favor as sharp interpretation of the prohibition laws as Dover.

One of his campaign utterances was directed at "policemen who fan mat- trecHAtt' for ninta nnrl frilf iiantrips for nome orew ana nip iiasns. i Mavor-PWt Th rbi.f ecufive for two termSi 1915.23. He was not a candidate when Dever was elected. The new mayor will take office as soon as the official canvass of the votes is completed probably within 10 days. Thompson ran strong on the north and west sides, and carried the "gold coast" area, but Dever had a lead in the south side, "silk stocking" territory of Hyde park, a Republican stronghold.

Dever received the returns at home and when his defeat was certain said: "I am per'ectly satisfied now, that the people have made their choice. I made the best fight possible under the circumstances, and I hope that all is well with this fine city." Thompson's formal statement was a reiteration that he stands "today where 1 have always stood, where I stood when they called me Kaiser Bill; and I will stand there until I die, upholding the principles laid down by George Washington."

If he falls to qualify, it will then devolve upon the county superintendent of schools to appoint a trustee.

Detroit, April 6. Sidelights held the interest Wednesday in Aaron Sapiro's $1,000,000 libel suit against Henry Ford, as the eighth day of cross-examination labored through the routine of ascertaining from Sapiro the names of farmers co-operatives with which he had been affiliated and the fees he received. There was criticism of a Republican presidential possibility by one from the Democratic ranks when Senator James A. Reed of Missouri, chief of the Ford counsel, assailed Frank O.

Lowden, former governor of Illinois, as a "capitalist," and as "the son-in-law of Pullman of the Pullman Car the stern rebukes from the court, and a renewed assertion by Senator Reed that Sapiro accepted employment by two bodies and played them against each other for his personal gain. For the second time since the trial started. Sapiro testified specifically that the alleged libelous articles printed in Ford's Dearborn Independent, caused him to lose a job and the income it had netted by pointing out the fact he is a Jew and seeking to connect him with an international Jewish conspiracy to control agricultural products. At adjournment the opposing attorneys had instructions from Federal Judge M. Raymond to select a representative each to go over journals, ledgers, and other volum of the bookkeepers craft and agree upon a set of figures that could be submitted as evidence rather than have Senator Reed spend further days in an effort to draw them from Sapiro.

Lowden's name came into the case when Senator Reed, in asking for a list of national organizations Sapiro had represented mentioned the Xational Wheat Growers advisory committee, formed at Chicago in September 1923, at a meeting called by Judge R. W. Bingham, of Louisville. Ky. (Continued From Page 1) Rawlins morgue.

Coroner Pickett is uncertain whether parts of charred bodies will reveal additional deaths, but he believes the check is complete. Turpin was the only unmarried man among the victims. All dependents will benefit under the Wyoming workmen's compensation act to the extent of between $75,000 and $100,000. The town of Parco was started with the construction of a $10,000,000 refinery there by the Producers Refiners, in 1922. Today it has a population of approximately 700.

It was made to order and is a thoroughly modern community, with a bank, church, school, two garages, a lumber yard, laundry and several stores and restaurants. All carpenters available from both Parco and Rawlins were at work Wednesday boarding up windows broken by the explosion. No looting was reported, either in the homes or at the plant. It is anticipated that the Inquest will be held Thursday morning, although no definite time has been set. Individual funerals will be held instead of a general public burial, it is planned.

H. O. Eby, reported missing early Wednesday, was found to be uninjured Dodd and Sherman were trapped at the top of the 90-foot tower, where they were at work, when the explosion occurred. The fire enveloped the men and Sherman jumped. He shot through the flames and landed in the blazing furnace at the foot of the tower.

Only his head and shoulders were found. Dodd remained on the tower clinging to his perch as the flames enwrapped him. The steel tower was white hot as the still and tanks beneath him burned. His body was found burned to a crisp when the tower cooled sufficiently to permit rescuers to mount it.
