It was not until a few days ago Wood learned of his good fortune and visited a lawyer in New 3-CORNERED PARIS HOP FORECAST FORMONDAY; BYRD RUSHING WORK Continued from Page 1 painted in four-inch letters on each side. This, of course, was in recognition of the financial prize of $15,000 0 offered the Bellanca by the boro Chamber. Following Chamberlin's flight, Ray Moorehouse, tester, announced that the Bellanca's new radio set had responded satisfactorilly to the tests. The transmitter will have a sending distance of 250 miles at the minimum and 500 miles under favorable conditions.

It weighs 30 pounds, tending to decrease speed only two miles an hour, and was made by the A. D. Cardwell Company of Brooklyn. Contrary to his expectations, the boyish-appearing Lindbergh stayed on the ground yesterday and did not make a trial flight. Brice Goldsborough, the instrument expert, spent the day adjusting the plane's appa- ratue.

Lindbergh Crowd's Favorite. conservative airmen regard his game intention of essaying the flight alone in 1 his odd plane, the handsome and smiling blond young Westerner is easily the favorite of the crowd. It is safe to say that all of the 10,000 visitors at the field sought him out, but this likable young man la shy and spent most of the day resting at the Garden City Hotel. Lindbergh revealed, however, that he 1s perfectly willing for bad weather to postpone his start until his mother arrives here from Detroit to see him off. She is expected today.

To Carry Rabbit's Foot. The young man had not definitely decided this morning whether he would attach a radio sending apparatus to his plane, so confident is he that he will wing it straight across the Atlantio without mishap. His unusual plane, which allows him no view ahead excepting limited vision through a periscope, wants as little weight for its flight as possible. It will, though, carry a collapsible rubber boat and oars as a precaution. And also a rabbit's foot, baby socks, a swastika and other charms given to him by friends.

In the event of a sudden but unexpected change in the Atlantic atmospheric conditions during the day Lindbergh and the Bellanca men, of course, will take off between midnight and dawn tomorrow. But both camps today reiterated their announcementa that no rival's action can force them into starting on an ill-advised flight. This assures at least a two-cornered race between Lindbergh and the Bellanca and A three-cornered race it the fogs hold up for Byrd. Not Worried About Time. Lindbergh was asked how he expected to sustain himself on a long flight for 36 hours, his estimated New York to Paris "I have been up in the air more than 48 hours many times," he said, "and it never bothered me much.

My physical condition does not worry me." The young Missourian has apparatus locks on his dashboard which means that it flying conditions are favorable he can set his course and motors in position and take a nap while soaring over the Atlantic.

DEFENDS MELISH PEACE SERMON IN NOTE TO MRS. ALLYN Assistant Pastor Answers Protest on Praise for Woman's Peace Union in Mother's Day Services. The Rev. L. Bradford Young, a3- sistant pastor of Holy Trinity P.

E. Church, replied today to the letter of Laura Chapin Allyn, who protested to the Rev. John Howard Melish, pastor of the church, against the services held there Mother's Day. Mr. Young's reply was in the form of an open letter to Mrs.

Allyn and in it he defended the sermon preached at the patriotic services. died in the 'war to end wrote "Mr. Melish Pi praised those who Mr. Young. could be more appropriate to Mother's Day and your organization? Apparently a sermon on peace is a patriotic heresy!" The letter followed one sent to Mr.

Melish by Mrs. Allyn. She wrote, she said, on behalf of the Kings County Council of Auxiliaries to the Veterans of Foreign Wars. She protested against the type of the sermon, principally because, she asserted, it extolled the Woman's Peace Union. She said that the words of the sermon insulted "all womanhood in classing us with them." "Amazed at Views." "I was amazed," she wrote, "that a man of your experience and vision could hold such views.

I am glad that none of our G. A. R. men were present to witness the desecration of our flag, and am sorry that those dear Gold Star mothers who were our guests of honor were, so dishonored." Because Mr. Melish had been called that away, the former had written.

So it Mr. Young read the sermon was he who answered Mrs. Allyn's open letter today. Differ on Way to Get Peace. "Of course there are some enemies of war who honestly believe that the best way to make armies and navies unnecessary is to double their size," he wrote.

"On this Christian people may differ. But that you expected to hear a rattling of sabers in a church of the Prince of Peace is a sorry indictment of the churches or of your understanding of their principles." The reply from the minister did not, however, mention the Woman's Peace Union, or that part of the sermon which, according to Mrs. Allyn, seemed to extol it. RUSH HUGHES FREED OF GIRL'S CHARGES Novelist's Stepson Makes De- nial Before Jury. Mineola, L.

May 14-The Grand Jury here after hearing several witnesses yesterday failed to And that there was any justifcation for the complaint made against Rush Hughes, stepson of Rupert Hughes, the author, by Adele Smith, chorus girl, said to be about 16 years old. Miss Smith alleged that while a guest in the Hughes homes in Kings Point, near Great Neck, early on last Wednesday morning, Hughes struck her. Hughes waived immunity and, went before the Grand Jury after his wife, Marion Harris, leading lady of a musical show, and Miss Smith had testified. Hughes, according to Assistant District Attorney Seward G. Spoor, denied having entered the room occupied by Miss Smith, but he did admit it, the officials said, having quarreled with his wife.

He denied all knowledge of the manner in which Miss Smith may have received the injuries she alleged were inflicted by him. Mrs. Hughes told the Grand Jury, band locked her Spoor, in her room two according to that her husor three times Wednesday morning, but that she heard no unusual noises or screams during his absences. SEE MORE CHANGES IN PHONE COMPANY There was much speculation today among officials and employees of the New York Telephone Company in the Brooklyn office as to how they will be affected by the reorganization, effective June 1, which makes Brooklyn a part of the new Long Island area of the telephone company. Although it has been announced that J.

J. Robinson will be the erni manager of the Long Taland area, with a staff consisting of J. H. Gordon, R. H.

Bogga, K. S. McHugh and F. T. Woolverton, the further changes in personnel that may take place have not been made public.

At the Telephone Company headquarters in Manhattan it was said today that each of the new officials will have a small staff of assistants, but who these will be has not yet been determined. They will probably not be announced before June 1.

Harold S. Spencer, an American who formerly served in the British Army, and Isabella Beatty, daughter of Sir James and Lady Beatty of London and Scotland, has come to an end in the preliminaries toward divorce. This was learned when Philip Wittenberg, attorney for the present Mrs. Spencer, filed a motion in the Manhattan Supreme Court yesterday asking that her husband be stopped from continuing his action of divorce in Appleton, Wis. Neither she nor Captain Spencer, the attorney pointed out, were residents of Wigconsin, both having lived in New York State since 1924.

Spencer, who spent three years in the Annapolis Naval Academy, achieved a certain species of lurid fame when, in 1911, he married Mrs. Amanda Chambers Lloyd Perry Ballantine, who was twice his age and was then mourning her third husband. With that marriage he was given the newspaper nickname of "boy bridegroom." Argument on the motion, in the course of which much smart English divorce scandal is expected to develop, will be heard Monday. TRUCK FIRE EXCITES BORO HALL SECTION Crowds in the Boro Hall section were excited by the banging and clatter of a flock of fire engines at 9:45 this morning.

Battalion Chief Jireck and Acting Chief George Moore hurried to the scene with three engines and two trucks in their wake, throwing traffle at this busy time of day into confusion. When the chiefs and their cohorts arrived they found that the blaze had been extinguished by the driver of the truck, Sam Finger, who, aided by nearby storekeepers, deployed upon the radiator with fire extinguishers and then poured sand on the flames. CHILDREN DISINTER GANGSTER'S VICTIM Chicago, May 14 -A hotelkeeper and a saloonkeeper of Cicero, Chicago's suburban gunland, were "taken for rides" last January.

On Jan. 7 the body of the hotel man, Theodore Anton, was found buried in quicklime. Last night children digging in the dirt floor of a garage at rear of their Cicero home found the body of the saloonkeeper, John Costenaro, who had been "put on the spot," as the gangsters describe this method of assassination, the day before Anton's body was found. Police considered the possibility that Costenaro might have had knowledge of how Anton met his death and therefore was himself slain. Costenaro was under indictment with the Cicero Mayor, Chief of Pdlice and others for complicity in liquor conspiracies.

The posting of the pari-mutuels results, the winding up of financial transactions either by the tearing up of countless tickets or cashing them in, and the post mortem will bring to a close another Derby Day. A brisk shower during the Arst race Friday afternoon and much rainfall yesterday and last night muddied the track but scores of workmen soon were bailing out the standing water. Generally fair weather was forecast for today and the sun has been shining constantly today.

Officials had predicted that the Churchill Downs track would be in excellent condition. The Derby starts at 4:40 p.m. Central Standard Time. It was believed the course would be classed fast when the horses were ordered to the post. Seats Sold Out Before Noon.

Every unreserved seat was sold long before noon. Tens of thousands of other persons held reserve seat tickets. Squads of police began their struggle to keep traffic moving in the vicinity of the historic racing plant shortly after dawn. Nearly every conceivable type of vehicle was be found in the neighborhood. License tags of numerous automobiles showed that their owners had traveled thousands of miles to attend the event.

It was estimated that more than 25,000 fans from the Chicago district were present when all the spectators had been crowded into the plant. Many came on special trains. They were strong for Fred a Windy City entry. Other sections also sent special trains. It all the 18 horses entered start, the race will be worth $52,525 to the owner of the winner.

The largest previous value was $53,775, captured in 1922 by Morvich. The fact that, despite the sun, the track probably would prove "dull" was believed to be in favor of the chances of one of the Westhorses to finish first in the $50,000 sprint.

When Mandelstein seized the tol of one of the bandits, the sure prised holdup man cried out for help and within a few seconds the druggist was the center of a melee in which all of the holdup men engaged. He more than held his own until one of the three fired a shot. The bullet struck Mandelstein in the left leg and he fell to the floor.

He did not release his hold on the bandit's pistol, however, and continued to fight. One of the holdup men struck him several times on the head with the butt of his pistol.

Without this permission, airmen say, neither Chamberlin nor Lindbergh would be able to take off.

S. Transatlantic Fliers Paris, May 14 (P)-Everything was ready at the Le Bourget Flying Field today to receive the American fliers who are awaiting favorable opportunity to start on their transatlantic flights to Paris. The preparations of the American aviators are being followed closely in air circles, where it has been observed that they will profit by the sad lesson of Nungesser and Coli and install suitable wireless and not start until every chance is in their favor. When the word is flashed that any one of the American expeditions is on the way, beacons in the north of France will be advised to carrry out the instructions already given to them, so to make it easy for the pilots to find the way to the destination.

Robert MeCaul was ousted as pastor of the Washington Avenue Baptist Church at a stormy meeting of Its corporate body last Wednesday night, he will be permitted preach a final ser mon to the congregation at the church services tomorrow. He was invited to do so in a letter he received from William R.

Goodman, the new president of the church body, today. The ousted pastor of the church, who has not accepted his ousting as final, visited the church building Inst night and found it loeked. The janitor informed him, he said, that the structure had been "officially condemned" and services tomorrow would be held in the assembly rooms of the Hanson Place Baptist Church, Hanson pl. and S. Portland ave.

Reconciliation Not Contemplated. Today, however, Frank Harvey Field, who has acted as attorney for the anti-McCaul faction of the church body, explained that the building was locked by order of the new board of trustees, who had examined it, found it "in a deplorable condition" and decided it should not be used until it had been repaired. An invitation was sent out to Mr. McCaul to speak during the services tomorrow in the Hanson Place Baptist Church, if he desired. This does not mean, however, it was explained, that there is any thought of a reconciliation Between the pastor and his Insurgent flock.

Will Preach, Says Mr. McCant. Mr. MeCaul today he would accept the invitation and preach a germon tomorrow, but he did not know what the subject of it would be. "The scenes have been shifting so rapidly," he said, "that I haven't had time to make up my mind as to that." AERIAL LEAGUE HEAD THINKS FLIERS SAFE Seven possible reasons for belief that Captains, Nungesser and Coll landed the American continent and may be safe are contained in a statement issued today by Henry Woodhouse, president of the Aerial League of America, and Col.

Jefferson DeMont Thompson, chairman of the State Aviation Commission, urgins that the search for the missing French fliers be contintied. The statement says that the Biers were sighted over Ireland, and that six persona are believed to have heard the French plane pass over Newfoundland. Barring accidents, it continues, the fliers should have been over Newfoundland at the hour the plane was reported to have been heard, while the course of the craft. 50 or 100 miles north of the ship lane route, would account for its not being sighted by steamers.
