Reports that the members of the John D Fuller geological expedi tion, feared lost somewhere north of Reindeer Lake, Saskatchewan, were not adequately equipped for their perilous journey were corroborated today by J. E. Sinclair, poneer pros pector of the northland. Sinclair, who arrived here from the north today, stated that he had encountered the party at Reindeer Lake. They seemed to have no money . and could not obtain supplies nor hire an Indian guide, tne prospector declared. John Fuller, the leader of the party, he said, was determined to press onward despite the handi caps. His intention then was to track Chesterfield inlet. The leader appear ed to have a good knowledge of the country he would have to traverse, Sinclair said. France Abandons East-West Flight Effort to Span Atlantic Called Off, and. Plane Now in tlie Azores to Be Returned on Cruiser Paris, July 24. France has aban doned for the time being, at least, its joint navy and commerce depart ment attempt to span the Atlantic from east to west by plane, accord ing to a semiofficial announcement made today. The announcement was to the effect that Lieut Paulin Paris,1 who reached Horta in the Azores yes terday in his plane LaFregate had been recalled and would return to France on the cruiser Ville d' Ys. It was said the flight was purely v. scientific experiment to determine whether a mail route by way of the 'Azores and Bermuda was practicable, jand that the experiment had been spoiled by tbe delays. ' Lieutenant-Paris has been ordered back home because of the motor trou ble which developed on the latter part of his hop to the Azores. It was said at the ministry of marine that since the voyage was interrupted by the motor difficulty, the object of the flight could not be attained. The delay en route, in official opin jion, spoiled the experiment and con sequently the French cruiser at Horta has been ordered to bring the plane 'back to France. It is probable that jthe flight will be begun over again 'later. State Journal.

The two arrived in their huge monoplane in which they flew over the top of the world. It is this plane in which Eielson will eo to Minneapolis. Wilkins was unable to say tonight whether he will make his destination San Francisco or Los Angeles. He expected to determine this when he arrives at Salt Lake City. KFNF GRANTED EXTRA HOUR FOR BROADCASTING Radio station KFNF, Shenandoah, la., will be allowed an extra hour of broadcasting,' and instead of clos ing at 7 p. m. will remain on the air until 8, according to Henry Fields who received a telegram from the federal radio commission to this ef fect Tuesday. No plans have been made for the extra hour, Mr. Field said, although it will probably be given over to some instructive talk. He believes the grant to be but a temporary one, until September, when a definite sch edule will be made out by the com mission. The allowance by the commission was the result of an informal re quest by Mr. Field some time ago. he said. Have yon anything to tmy or sell? Try a Journal Want Ad. Six Weeks Before AI Smith Opens Fight Advisors of Governor Urging Him to Undertake an Ambitious Speech making: Tour, May Consent AHmir T V Tulv iltlin it ., , ' nt'ipaSt six wteks before Gov- irnnP Sm5th taken -to the stumn. the deinocratiC presidential nominee and his advisors already are givng scr - ious thought to the extent and rout- ing of his campaign speaking tour, some party managers are urging their standard bearer to keep moving from Labor day on. ' They want him I to cover as much ground, deliver as j many speeches and come in personal contact with as many voters as pos ; sible. I Others, and they include some of the political lieutenants on whom the governor depends for advice, are of the opinion that his address on the campaign issues should be limited to strategic centers and to a few nights , a week, and that extensive radio i hookups should be arranged for all of them. Smith himself has not committed himself on a program. There have been rtports that he favors a ten or fifteen speech maximum, but his friends believe he undoubtedly will! exceed that quota. To Visit Debatable States. The nominee is anxious to go into as many ueDaiaoie states as pos&iuie but at the tame time he realizes the necessity of conserving his strength and voice. He also is of the opinion that the radio, which he looks on as indispensable campaign adjunct has to a large extent revolutionized speechmaking in political campaigns. In his gubernatorial contests Smith has made it a practice to remain off the stump until the last three weeks before election. In that time, deArot- ing the closing days to the city of; charges as absurd. He said it would New York, and build up to a well have been impossible for him to timed climax.

It is said to be Governor Smith's desire to wind up hi3 campaign in New York City just before the elec tion.

An internal fight is waging hnly within the ranks of the American Legion of Neraska over the location of the government veteran's hos pital, which is to be established in thi3 state The McCook post accuses Jean B Cain, state commander, of using his office unfairly to help obtain the hospital for his home town, Falls City. McCook also is anxious to ob tain the hospital. Harold Sutton, commander of the McCook post, declares that even be fore the official announcement was made that a hospital would be es tablished in Nebraska, the Falls City post was campaigning by letter and wire to get the rest of the state to support Falls City as a site for the hospital. Cain, at Falls City, described the your high office as state commander in giving advance information to the detriment of McCook and other Ne braska cities wanting the United States veteran's hospital, which was not officially allocated to Nebraska until late July 21." Leo B. Bozell of Omaha, chairman of the state rehabilitation commit tee of the legion, Tuesday wired the veterans' bureau in Washington that the legion had no interest in the lo cation of the hospital. .

REPUBLICANS WOULD SI- - LENCE SENATOR HEFLIN Newburgh, N. Y., July 24. Rep resentative Hamilton Fish. tonight said that republicans would be glad if they could silence Senator J. Thomas Hefiin of Alabama, outspok en critic of Governor Alfred E. Smith, democratic presidential nominee. "I deplore the personal attack and abuse heaped upon Governor Smith by Senator Hefiin because of his re ligious views," Mr. Fish told the Newburgh republican city committee. "There is no room for such issues in American poltics, and any attempt to drag religion into the campaign will more than likely become a boomerang." RUSSIA HAS A GOOD CROP Moscow, July 22. Prospects for the 1928 grain crop, altho conditions In some districts were unfavorable, are reasonably bright, Trade Com missar Mlkoyan told the all-Russian co-operative conference. The crop, he said, would exceed last year's by about 450,000.000 poods, and that of 1926 by 200,000,000 poods. As usual, about 15,000,00 poods will he bought abroad for sowing purposes, he sad. The late spring coupled with de struction of the spring sowing in a number of regions due to sold, has decreased the normal prospects. Stale Tax Lev J Will be Reduced for This Year Nebraska Must Secure About $5,841, 000 for General Fund Railroads Kick A state tax levy not exceeding 2.1 mills for all purposes, and pos sibly a slightly lower rate, is anti cipated by members of the state taxation board for the year li. The tax levy for last year was .',.!. mills, which included 1 mills tc take care of the treasury deficit 2.03 mills for the current needs of the general fund, and .22 mills for the capitol fund. The deficit is now extinguished and there will be no levy for that purpo.se this year. The capitol levy will be .22 mill; the same as in 1927, while that for the general fund probably will be fixed at about l.SS mills. Revenue requirements of the state government for the present fusca.' year are lower by $535, 043 than they were in 192 1, leaving the ypeciui de licit levy out ut lunsnitiaiiuu. iiuu amount was proviutu ior in pay em ergency and deficiency appropriations made by the legislature. No such out lay bus to be met this y;ear. It will be nece.s.sary to raise, ap proximately $5,811,000 in taxes? for the general fund, as against $9,370, 000 a year ago. The capitol fund will get about $C90,000 from its part of the whole levy, making the grand total as estimated $6,531,000. Intangible taxes, levied and col lected on a different basis are ex pected to bring $110,000 fore intc the treasury, while fees and mis cellaneous receipts going into t lie general fund will run something liki $940,000. Last Year cf Capitcl Levy. This is the last year in which the .22 mill levy for the new capital Is provided for. It is expected, how ever, that the next legislature will extend this tax for another two years--in order to complete the building and its landscaping according to plans The grand assessment roll of tan gible property will fall about ? 5,000, 000 short of what it was la.st year on account of reductions on railroad property amounting to over $22,500, C00. forced by federal court decisions and the transfer of all classification as directed by both federal and slate courts This This will mean $10,000 less taxes ected by the state on tangible pro- ty, but intangibles are expected colect per to increase some $30,000.f'00 on which the state's share of tie taxes will be about $25,000, so t'it a net gain of 15,000 in rcvemiiy will re sult from these two factors.

Gilliom objected, however, and ob tained a continuance until Thursday. The effort to take the deposition was made as a part of that suit. Stephenson said he believed his only change to get a new trial from his conviction at Noblesville in No vember, 1925, rested in a petition for a writ of coram nobis srranted only where a convicted person shows he was denied the chance of giving his real defense at a trial thru fear of violence or death if he attempted to do so. Stephenson contended that it was because he feared for his life that he did not testify in his own behalf at the Noblesville trial.
