BRADFORD United Frees Staff Correspondent LE BOURGET FIELD, France, May 21. Capt Charles Lindbergh, the flying mail man, arrived today by air from New York. He was the first man ever to fly from New York to Paris and as the wheels of Lindberg's monoplane touched the ground the dream of airmen that North American and European continents should be linked in non-stop air flight was realized. Lindbergh landed at 4.21 Eastern Standard time. 1 1 i .1 nnlu Fan 4 ft -Vv: MAXWELL QUITS TO ACCEPT POST IN PITTSBURGH x-' vIv-v.

S. T. TONIGHT International Keict Service LONDON, May 21. An airplane believed to be Capt. Charles Lindbergh's Spirit of St.

Louis was sighted over Smerwick Harbor, on the coast of Ireland, at 5.20 (London time) this afternoon. The plane was heading south by east, which was the course planned by Lindbergh, and would carry him over Land's End, at the southern tip of England, and on across the English Channel to Paris. Smerwick is on the most extreme southwest point of Ireland, in County Kerry. It is on the north side of the peninsula that forms one of the jews of Dingle bay. Smerwick Harbor is to the south of Valentia the point where Lindbergh had planned to reach the Irish coast and if the report of his arrival there is correct, the unconfirmed reports that he had been seen at Valentia are effectually set at rest.

From Smerwick it is anticipated that Lindbergh will head for Land's End, where he should be sighted about 2 p. Eastern Standard Time. May Head for Cherbourg From Land's End it is believed that Lindberg will head for Havre or Cherbourg on the French coast Conditions are excellent for the rest of his flight, the officials said.

The Central News correspondent at Tralle, a town to the north and twenty miles east of Smerwick harbor, said Lindbergh was heading towards the Cork coast.

He estimates that the plane should arrive off the Trench coast at 3.30, eastern standard time and should land in Paris at 5.30, eastern standard time. This correspondent reports Lindbergh flying at an altitude of 1000 feet and said he was going well under favorable conditions. Navy Experts' Schedule This was the schedule laid down for him, by navy experts, after charting his course across the chill Atlantic from the time he disappeared off the bleak shores of New Foundland lata yesterday afternoon. Early today, if all went well on his lonesome flight during the night, he was winging his way at a hundred miles an hour just beyond the middle of the ocean with the coast of Ireland still several hundred miles away.

If Lindbergh arrives in Paris before 8 o'clock tonight he will have accomplished the flight in less than thirty-six hours, the time which he estimated for the flight. Lindbergh's feat has Deen marked by his "time table" progress, as he has touched at practically every point on his plotted route on the time which he scheduled. With victory now almost certain, interest turns to Lindbergh's physical condition and his impressions of the flight. Hundreds clamor about Le Bourget airdrome outside of Paris to be the first to see this youth who came Dingle at 5.20 p. Irish summer time, or 11.20 p.

Dingle is on the southwest coast of Ireland and lies within the area across which Lindbergh might pass if he followed the great circle route. International Newt Service LONDON, May 21.

Speeding on towards his goal in Paris, Capt. Charles Lindberg was reported to have been sighted passing over the town of Goleen in the southwest corner of County Cork at 11.50 p. E. S. T.

By United Prut NEW YORK, May 21. Charles Lindbergh at 1 p. m. Eastern Standard Time today had been gone twenty-nine hours on his way to Paris, and in the absence of fully confirmed reports as to his progress, the hour had come when followers of the flight began to wonder. There were many reports but none could be confirmed.

A plane seen flying on the lrinh roast was believed to have been Lindbergh's but the. identification marks could not be seen because it was going too high. The British Marconi Company in England told the Radio Corporation or America in rew Tork, that a squad of British planes was escorting him, soon after noon, New York time, over the British channel, but that report, almost an hour later, still was unconfirmed from any source wniie tne air ministrv in London had no advices. Thirty hours' flying should have put Lindbergh over southern England or the lower end of the channel, if he followed his intended course. In New York rumors flew around everywhere and particularly on Wall street the home of the rumor disease in its most virulent form.

These reports had Lindbergh anywhere from the west coast of Ireland approaching the Eiffel tower, but like mst rumors, none had any discoverable source.

Lindbergh was in the air thirty-three hours, thirty minutes and thirty seconds. day afternoon crowds were still pouring into the streets from stores and offices, New York be came a tangle of rumors which ranged, from vague stories of how Lindbergh flew the Channel to an extra edition put out by the Journal, a Hearst newspaper, announcing in large headlines, "Lindbergh in Paris." 4 The front page was devoted to an announcement that Lindbergh had arrived and the story of his arrival, including pictures beneath lines quoting him as saying, "I'm here, boys," and his mother as saying. "I knew he'd do it." The papers caused tremendous excitement.

Shop girls and stenographers gasped with Joy. The extras sola rapidly. Stores posted the erroneous news in windows. The incident recalled that when Nungesser and Coli were attempting their flight ten days ago, Paris papers carried similar false announcements of their arrival in New York. LONDON, March 21 The British air ministry this afternoon said that it had no reports of Charles Lindbergh's being sighted.

There was the promise of fame and fortune to urge him onward. As the monoplane taxied to a stop, Paris prepared to welcome the hero of the greatest sporting event of the year. The distance covered was approximately 3600 miles, so the average was better than 100 miles an hour for the trip. What Lindbergh accomplished today had already cost the lives of four men and perhaps of six. Noel Davis and Stanton H.

Wooster were killed when the former's New York to Paris entry crashed several weeks ago. Charles N. Clavier and Jacob Islamoff were burned to death last year at Roosevelt field when Capt. Rene Fonek's plane nose dived in taking off for Paris. Capt.

Charles Nungesser and Francois Coli are listed as missing. "I'll be in Paris tomorrow," said Lindbergh when he climbed aboard his plane yesterday morning. Incidentally Lindbergh won the $25,000 prize for the first person to fly between the two cities. Lindbergh was unable to move from his seat and fell to the floor of his plane a moment after the craft stopped. With the nervy young flier lying where he had fallen the joyous and wildly excited crowd shoved the monoplane towards the lights on the other side of the field.

CHERBOURG, France, May 21. The marine prefecture received a wireless dispatch tonight saying that a gray airplane similar to that in which Capt. Charles Lindbergh was en route from New York to Paris, had passed over Starpoint, at 2 p. Eastern Standard time. Starpoint is on the south coast England between Plymouth and Exeter on a line between southwestern coast of Ireland and Paris.

From Starpoint to Paris is approximately 275 miles. CHERBOURG, France, May 21. At 2.30 p. m. Eastern Standard time a monoplane, believed to have been that of Capt.

International Hexes Service LONDON, May 21. Captain Charles Lindbergh, who set forth on his great aerial adventure at 7.50 yesterday morning, in a daring attempt to fly from New York to Paris, is now less than 500 miles ifrom victory.

Last reports gave Lindbergh's position as in the vicinity of Fast-net light off the southern coast of Ireland, and at that time he -as heading southeast. With favorable weather prevailing and a following wind estimated as high as sixty miles an hour, Lindbergh stands an excellent opportunity, barring engine trouble on the last lap of his journey, of out of the West an unknown, to grasp one of the greatest honor aviation has offered. By United Prett TRALEE, Ireland, May 21-An airplane passed over Smerwick Harbor, Ireland, this afternoon at an altitude of 1000 feet, too high to be identified by markings. It may have been the plane of Capt. Charles Lindbergh.

The motor seemed to be working well and flying conditions were good. QUEENSTOWN, Ireland, May 21. An airplane believed by the commander of County Kerry civic guards to have been that of Charles Lindbergh, was sighted over Smerwick Harbor north of ending this historic flight between DRIVERS WILL GO ON TRIAL ON LIQUOR CHARGES Fourteen charges of alleged drunken auto driving are contained in the June criminal court trial list of 152 cases, which was announced today by District Attorney Fox for hearing during the ten-day session scheduled to begin one week from next Tuesday.

Amid the sorrow of burying its forty- four dead, the village of Bath paused today to give an official thought to the manner in which its plight had touched the heart of Michigan. "We, the Board of Education of the Bath Consolidated School." read a resolution unanimously adopted in township hall, "extend our most heartfelt thanks to those who have so nobly assisted us in this hour of ur distress." It was the first formal statements from the authorities confronted by the all but hopeless task of restoring a community of 300 inhabitants following the maniacal dynamiting of its consolidated school. The communication was signed by the members of the board.

The name of Andrew P. Kehoe, however, was missing in the document. It was Kehoe who plunged the village into unparalleled mourning by his mad act of last Wednesday. Kehoe was treasurer of the board and a glance at the board's records revealed that at the last regular meeting he, as usual, made the motion to adjourn. Bath was still stunned today by the enormity of its tragedy.

Funerals were held in many homes and in the remainder of the weekend there was no thought of nor- -mal life. Inarticulate gratitude was manifested in many faces as word reached the village that the state was responding to Governor Fred Green's appeal for aid by contributing thousands of dollars. They appeared eagerly willing but almost unable to believe the an nouncement that United States Senator James Couzens, of Michigan, a multi-millionaire, had promised to meet the entire expense of rebuilding the school if necessary.
