WARSAW, July 2. (UP) The Adamowicz brothers of Brooklyn landed their trans-Atlantic plane at the Warsaw airport at 5:40 p. m. today and were greeted by a wildly cheering crowd of 20,000 citizens. The two fliers, scda-pop manufacturers with a yearning for flight records, had intended to fly one-stop from New York to the Polisn capital.

Their plans were interrupted three times, first when they were forced down for lack of fuel, in a' field in France, again in Germany, and once more in Poland. The last stages of their flight were made with the aid of a "homemade" landing skid, fashioned from the tongue of a farm wagon, to replace part of the big Bellanca's tail, which was broken in their first landing, LOTT LOSES TO! ENGLAND'S ACE Wood and Shields Advance to Semi-Final Round at Wimbledon. WIMBLEDON, England. July 2. (UP) Sidney B.

Wood and Francis X. Shields, both of New York, advanced today to the semi-finals ot the all-England tennis championships. Wood joined Shields in the round of four by eliminating Vernon G. Kirby. unseeded South African player.

Wood won 6-1, 6-4, 3-6, 6-0. Both are singles players on the U. S. Davis cup team. Shields, American champion and seeded No.

8. Davis cup doubles player, was not so successful as his mates. He was eliminated in a quarter-final match by Fred Perry of England, ace of the British cup team and No. 2. Perry entered the semi-finals with a 6-4, 2-6, 7-5, 10-8 victory.

Another member of the U. S. team, towering Lester R. Stoefen of Los Angeles, was eliminated by Jack Crawford of Australia, defending champion. Wood was impressive in defeating Kirby.

He was easily the South African's master except in the third set when the New Yorker became temporarily erratic, and suffered a spell of outing and overdriving. The Crawford-Stoefen match, which had been anticipated eagerly by the gallery, developed into one of the dullest quarter-final contests in years. It produced a minimum of exciting rallies since both players suffered from the terrific heat. 2 TRUCK DRIVERS HELD UNDER BAIL Lynn Street Family Shaken as They Sit In Parked Car. i I i 4 SPECIAL AGATE TELESCOPE ROD Reversible Handle $1.89 TACKLE BOXES Special 59c Scene from Bell's Hawaiian Revue, the beautiful stage presentation opening on the Capitcl stage Wednesday.

ii Supreme Court Affirms Decision By Judge Morganroth. An important decision involving a score or more prospective land damage cases emanating from along Shamokin creek, between Weigh Scales and Reed Station, was handed down Saturday by the state supreme court when It r.ffirmed the opinion of the county court in the suit of Mr. and Mrs. Pierce Moore, of near Paxinos, against the Stevens Coal Company. The Moores brought suit for culm and water damages to their property, located near the Herr gasoline service station north of Weigh Scales.

During the progress of the trial, Judge Morganroth brought the case to a close when an agreement entered into by a man named Hensyl, original owner of the land, with coal companies absolving the latter from all subsequent damages after settlement of an original claim. Former Judge Fred B. Moser and Harold F. Bonno. counsel for the Moores, appealed to the higher court, contending that one man could not forever tie up a property which was subsequently sold to another person.

But the higher court took the same view as that taken by Judge Morganroth and as a result it is likely many other cases now on the county dockets will not be carried into court because of supreme court ruling. Judge Morganroth held that the deeds to most of the properties involved provide that present owners cannot collect for culm or water damages as a result of the blockading of Shamokin creek with culm from collieries. The original owners released their rights when accepting settlement and provided in their deeds that no future owners could collect for past, present or future culm or water damages.
