London, May 31 (AP) Capt. Charles A.

Early this morning, before his visit to the king, the young American flew in his Spirit of St. Louis to Gosport, near Portsmouth, some 60 miles southwest of here, and returned to the Croydon Airdrome in London in a Gloucester Napier, one of the latest type Royal Air Force single-seatcr fighting machines.

Docs. Stunt In Air. Before landing at Croydon Lindbergh put the British plane through its paces, giving a wonderful display of stunt flying, including several thrilling loops. His, audience consisted of the pilots of the two escorting planes and a handful of members of the imperial airways staff. The plane which made the great transatlantic "hop" from New York to Paris, it was understood here, is lo be dismantled at Gosport and made ready for shipment to the United States.

Untermyer recalled Thomas L. Chadbourne to the stand and tried to learn from him why the B. M. T. had purchased I.

R. T. shares. However, the quest was a flxxle, Chadbourne disclaiming all knowledge, but taking occasion to deliver a speech for a higher fare. Untermyer also tried again to get the wily lawyer to tell when he purchased his own B.

stock, but Chadbourne read into the record a declination prepared by his counsel, William D. Guthrie, and after promising to come back as soon as possible, if wanted, he left to get ready for his trip to Europe, He sails tonight. Denies Deal to Control Traction. At the opening ot the session Untermyer and Chadbourne had a pas-sage-at-arms over the question of whether the latter was In a deal with Dahl to control traction and Chadbourne again denied any such association, although he said he was a personal friend of Dahl and meets him two or three times a week, when they talk over various things mar.y times, the financial affairs ot the B.

"There alnt no such thing as dealing with the City," shot back Chadbourne, with a laugh. "There ain't no such thing as trying, is there?" asked Untermyer. "Well, I should say it would be a very futile effort." Quisled on Safety Appliances. Chadbourne, in answer to other questions, said he was an owner of preferred stock of the New York Railways Company, the company stock of which concern was held by Omnibus Company of America, which owns the common stock of the Fifth Avenue Coach Company.

Untermyer asked Chadbourne If the B. M. T. had Installed safety appliances ordered by the Transit Commission. "I do not know," he said.

"It has plenty of money with which to do lt?" "(The B. M. T. is very well to do," responded Chadbourne. "Very well to do," said Untermyer.

"It has got money to buy into other companies, hasn't lt; money which It does not know what to do with?" Chadbourne smiled. After Untermyer tried In vain to get Chadbourne to tell some specific reason Dahl had given him for purchasing B. M. T. stock, Untermyer f'naliy allowed the witness to explain the purchase in his own way.

Reasons Why Be Bought Stock. "I knew," said Chadbourne, "that for many years the H. M. T. had been a political football.

I knew that under those circumstances, the chances were greatly in favor1 of the stock not reflecting the real values of the properties.

Scanlan, editor of the Tablet, that the Klan hosts Intended to parade in hoods and gowns and that Inspector George Hearle had been ordered to take police action if the Klansmea attempted such a march. The Commissioner, however, was obviously displeased at the failure of the police to check the Klan's march as they had been ordered to t.t.

Peking, May 81 (IP) The northern authorities made official announcement today of the wholesale withdrawal of the northern forces from the front owing to reverses In Ho-nan. The withdrawal means surrender to the southerners (nationalists) of all of Honan province south ot the Yellow River, also of Anhwel province and the entire Lung-Hat Railway, Call it Tactical Move.

Admitting that "sweeping changes" had occurred since the Northerners' offensive against the Nationalists was announced last week, a spokesman for the allied Northern armies asserted that the retreat was a deliberate tactical move, "We do not regard it as a defeat," he said, "we are not beaten." Denying reports that Chang Tso-Lln Intended to move headquarters to Tientsin to be closer to his Man-churlan base, the spokesman continued: "Chang Tso-LIn will remain in Peking and will not give up his cam-plagn." The Northern operations, however, he added, would necessarily be limited In the near future to defending the line of the' Yellow River and the southern Shantung border.

Thirty years ago a sorrowing group stood around an open grave In Evergreens Cemetery as the body of a Civil War veteran Carl F. Wundor was lowered.

The years passed, but loving hands kept flowers ever blooming on this grave. The grass In the little plot was kept carefully trimmed. A metal star bearing the legend "Winchester Post, O. was placed there to mark the spot as the resting place of a soldier. Memorial Days came and passed and living veterans of the Civil War decorated the grave with flags in tribute to their departed comrade.

Subway Cut Desecrates Grave. Memorial Day came again yesterday, but things are not the same at tho grave of Carl F. Wunder. Across the mound, bearing down into the flowers which cover it, passes one of the supports used to hold up a high wooden fence almost at the foot of the grave. This support Is fastened to a stake driven deep into the ground within a fow Inches of where the veteran's body lies.

On the other side of the fence Is the gaping cut that has been made for the 14th st-Kastern subway. But Mr. Wunder's grave Is not the only one that has been desecrated by the subway excavation which cuts across that section of Evergreens Cemetery, known as Mizpah Slope, near Hushwick parkway, directly opposite from the point where Fur-man ave. ends. A few yards away several granite posts, one supporting rails around the plot, have been toppled over and a tombstone, badly undermined.
