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

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. State

Largest Telescope Made to Be Lo
cated on Some Mountain
Top in California
Pasadena, Calif., Oct. 28. 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
