Scott to Be Questioned lly Universal Service. Chicago, May fi.—A man who claims to have been an eyewitness to the hazing of Heighten Mount was found by the authorities today. The young Northwestern university student was overpowered ami clicked in sensible by five or six men and dragged away by them, according to the new witness. The man who gave this mformati#*! is John A. Strom, a fisherman. Iiv*.ig nn the lake shore near tha university, lie claims that members of his family also witnessed the overpowering and choking of the student. The authorities were not ready to accept the man’s story as authentic. They believe he is relating the truth, but are not satisfied that the man lie saw overpowered and dragged away was Mount. It has doveloped half a dozen students W'ere attacked in the class rush. Scott to He Witness. Walter Dill Scott, president of the Northwestern university, is to l>c one of the first witnesses In the grand jury investigation scheduled to open Tuesday. Mr. Scott has been described as a reluctant witness in the coro ner’s investigation conducted Inst week. It was said lie shunned pub licity. It was fear of publicity that caused the investigation of the disappearance of Mount in 1021 to he dropped, ac cording to facts brought out in the coroner’* Inquiry. Northwestern university is known in college circles as "exclusive," but withal at the forefront in "modern ism.’’ It boasts of the prettiest co-eds. And the masculine students view with each other to impress this galaxy ( of coeds. That is what caused the! class rush to be so rough, it is ,-laimed. The two-year men wanted o hold first place in the estimation of , coed* and one of the ways they adopted lb a eShipli’di llus wag' V) :erp first year men in subjection, (.mini Jury to Probe Hazing. * The tragedy of the disappearance of Mount wasn’t discussed openly, ’.n fraternity circles there was lots if talk, but it ended there. The cor oner hasn't been able to break through this ring of secrecy, the grand jury will make an attempt. Thomas .1. I’eden, assistant prose cutor in charge of the inquiry, held a long conference with State’s Attor ney Edgar A. Jonas. It was decided tin- grand jury should Investigate ev • ry angle of hazing at Northwestern, os well as the Mount cast in particu lar. "We are going to srft tile evidence of violence on tlie night of September 2!. 1121, when Mount disappeared, to the bottom." said Mr. Peden. "We are going to find out if hazing is in act iced w ith consent of university official*." Dr. Scott, president of the univer sity. is said to have indicated, in early stages of the inquiry, that .Mount was not an accredited student of the university. Hut records show tiiat lie had | iaid tuition and was Mgularly entered. l urks Demobilizing Soldiers in Syria R.r Associated Tress. I.uasanne.

Reduction in length of Old f»lory Kecommcmlctl Washington. .May H The American flag is too long in proportion to its width to lie artistic, and a reduction of 12.1 per cent In the length of the present standard has been decided by the fine arts commission to be the most artistic proportion. In consultation ttiih a committee of government officials appointed for the standardization of th< flag, the commission decided upon a ratio of 1 #7 to I instead of f lie present l .hO to 1. That would make the standard ized flag about two-thirds longer thn.i its width. The derision was readied through tests of various sized flags from the Arlington amphitheater flag pole.

T-2 Aviators May Attempt to Fly Across Pacific Without Stopping > 4 Airline Distance Is 2,280 Miles From San D’ * ^ Hawaii—Lieutenants Kelly and MacReu^vT Willing to Follow Orders. By VniverMl Service. San Diego, Cal., May 6.—“1 fly for my country. Ami besides, it is fun. When the army air service gives the word, ‘Mack' and I shall be glad to attempt any sort of flight.” This was I he reply of Lieut. Oakley G. Kelly, coast-to-coast nonstop aviatoy, when asked by Universal Service re garding the proposed transpacific flight and the future plans of himself and Lieut. John A. MacReady, liis fly iug mate. "A flight tp the Hawaiian islands would probably start from San Diego or Los Angeles, the air line distance being 2.280 miles," said Lieutenant Kelly. And then he remarked quietly: "The New York-San Diego flight was some 300 odd miles farther than Ibis westward ocean hop would re quire.” Lieutenant Ki tty said he had often thought of a transpacific flight, such as that tentatively outlined by Gen erab Patrick, head of the air service, in interviews with the press. Beyond the Hawaiian islands, however, the lieutenant had not let his imagination stray, he said. I nderided on Stops. The intrepid air record-smasher re fused to hazard a guess as to whethei ihe route his superior officers might select in ease a transpacific flight actually is decided upon would require stops on the Marshall and Caroline island groups and end on the Philip pine. islands. The broadest and most hazardous expanse of ocean to lie crossed on such a route would he the Caiifornla-Hau a Pan la'p, it was point ed out. "The T-2 could easily be adapted for a transocean Might attempt.” said Maj. J 11. Arnold, commandant of Rockwell Meld here. "The big mono plane would float as she now stands, and especially well when her gas sup ply became depleted. The tanks are in the wings, and save when full, serve as flotation units. "Ordinarily, many hundreds of miles are covered before trouble is fn countered serious enough to compel a landing, as on the San Diego Cincin nati flight of 2.000 mite- last October. But In addition to' the tank Space special floats could be installed to ill sure safety in event of ari enforced, descent at sea. It lias been ealeu latnl that without the addition of gpe- - dal appliance* the T ? would remain afloat for many hours unless the sea were extremely rough.” Floating Togs Necessary. Instead of the ordinary leather fly ing clothes ti>ed in their overland trips, the pilots would wear special ara-gping suits equipped with In ' bated air puds to, insure individual' personal flnatability. should the trans pacific attempt actually be made, it was said. Lieutenant Kelly was of the opinion, lie said, that the first attempt to en circle the globe would in the main very likely follow (he route mapped out by the British air service. Based from an American starting point, such a route would take a course through the following points, or places pot far distant: New York to I lie Azores, a distance of 2.100 miles, or perhaps a safer Newfoundland Ireland lap: England and southeasterly through Europe ; and to India via Suez: French Indo rhino and up the east coast of China: across Korea or Japan; over the long sweep of tlie Aleutian archipelago to Alaska; down the coast of British Co- • lumbiu to Seattle and thence across northern i'nited States to the start ing point at New York. Heady for Flight. Regarding the flight across the North Pole via Alaska, Greenland, Spitsbergen ami Norway to England, as reported under contemplation by Admiral Moffett and other high naval and army officials at Washington. Lieutenant Kelly would make no comment other than to smilingly say that lie and Lieutenant MacReady were "always ready and anxious to undertake any flight projected by the heads of the air service." it is understood that before further long distance attempts are made, the T-2 will be sent aloft over a triangle j lar course, probably above San Itiego. in an effort to set a 4S hour endur ance record. The present mark is 3B hours and 5 minutes, established bv MacReady and Kelly in ihe T 2 at Dayton, O. (•rear obstacle* are 114 the way or a round the-wcrld flight, ft was said. High powered airplane motors are put to a terrific strain- and require careful overhauling by the best me chanics after every long-distance flight. Often many new part* must be installed before a motor can with judgment be called upon to again drive a two-ton plane at breakneck speed for 2.000 miles without pausing an instant. To encircle the globe through the air. therefore, becomes a tremendous undertaking, though only one plane make" the jourwey. Complete ■ ee mo tor*. gasoline, oil and skilled mechan ic* would have to !*e dispatched by steamer and train to perhaps a dozen points along any proposed line of flight, it was pointed out To do tlUs would require months of preparation and the expenditure of a considerable sum of money, it was said.
