PAGE SEt FLATT SHOUTS SEMI . WTTEt? JOURNAL THURSDAY, HOV. 1. Load of Gaso line Too Heavy for the Start Flight From New York to Bermuda Delayed Until Conditions More Favorable Port Washington, N. Y., Oct. 28. After four unsuccessful attempts to lift his plane with a sufficient fuel load to make the proposed flight to Bermuda, Capt. William N. Lan caster took off from the harbor here this afternoon for Hampton Roads Va. In the plane with him were Har ry w. Lyon, navigator of the South ern Cross in its trans-Pacific flight, and George Palmer Putman, pub lisher. The original intention of Lancaster and his companions was to make a nonstop flight from New York to Ber muda, but repeated trials failed tc lift the small Ireland amphibian plane with its three occupants and heavy load of fuel from the water Lancaster said a strong breeze would be necessary to permit the plane to When it was seen that sufficient fuel for the Bermuda flight coult1 not be lifted Lancaster reduced the quanity of gasoline in his tanks to -ighty gallons and took off for the Virginia port from where he sail" the Bermuda flight would be at tempted. Lyon said yesterday ir announcing the proposed flight that it would be the first attempt to make the difficulty of the flight was in the possibility of missing the small is land and continuing out over the At lantic. He expressed confidence, how ever, in his ability as a navigator to keep the plane on a course that would take them directly to Bermuda. First 'announcement of the pro nosed flieht indicated that a thirt' person would be in the plane, bu it was not until late last night that it became known that the passenger was to be the New York publisher Atlantic City, N. J.. Oct. 28. The seaplane. Flying Fish, which left Port Washington today to make a flight to Bermuda by way of Hampton Roads Va., came down here shortly after 4 o'clock this afternoon. Com. Albert C. Read, commandei of the Hampton Roads naval ail station, received the report of the forced landing of the plane. However, he said that his advices contained no details of the reported landing. Read was a classmate at the naval academy of Harry W. Lyon, the plane's navi gator of the Southern Cross plane on its trans-Pacifice flight. George Pal mer Putman, publisher, also was i passenger in the plane, which, ac cording to reports here, was being groomed for a New York to Bermuda flight. The Bermuda-bound plane wa: forced down at Barnegat because of water in the gasoline, Mr. Putnam stated later at a hotel here. He said they managed to replenish their gas supply there and then resume their flight. Shortly before reaching At lantic City then ran into bad weather he added, and they decided to come down here. Asked when the flight would be resumed, it at all, Mr. Putnam re plied: "I cannot say definitely. Pro bably tomorrow sometime; it will all depent on Lieutenant Lancaster. He seemed confident that the flight would be resumed, but was not ab solutely certain about it. The plan's gasoline was changed tonight anc some minor adjustments made. It i believed that she will be in shape to resume the flight tomorrow.

The largest telescope ever made, twice as big and four times as powerful as the present greatest instrument, will be erected on some yet undesignated California mountain top. It will be a 220 inch reflector. Announcement of this plan, one of the most dazzling steps in astronom ical research in many years, was made here tonight, and two outstandinr alms were outlined. One is the cap acity to detect millions of celestrial bodies never before seen. The other is organization on a national scope of scientists and business men to in sure maximum results. The announcement was made by the California institute of technology to which the International education board has made an appropriation to build the telescope, laboratories and shops for its operation. The Carnegie institution of Washington and the Mount Wilson observatory are co operating:. The present world's largest tele scope is the 100-mch reflector on Mount Wilson, California. The 200- inch flee tor, as large as the floor of a good sized room, will have four time the power of the 100-inch. For example, the canals of Mars in the nt-w instrument will show twice the diameter of the 100-inch Images, but this doubled diameter means they they hare fcur times the size and faur ttme3 the light.
