MIDWAY BETWEEN AZORES
AND BERMUDA
•ALTENRHIEN, Switzerland, Nov

a. bitterly cold wind the giant plane
D-O-X took off Lake Constance
enroute to Amsterdam on the first

Commander Friedrich Christian
sen.
Stops are to be made at Amster
dam. Lisbon and the Azores. They
will refuel the ship midway between j

thence fly to New York.
The object of the flight to the j

speed- Sixteen passengers are on
the D-O-X on its trip to Amster
dam, and many of them are news- j
paper men.

saved by an Indian woman who
warned them.
Although the radio equipment i
was removed all the powerj
machinery was lost. The esti- j
mated loss to the government is j

STATES LIFT IIP
ICES AGAINST
IP AMENDMENT
WETS MAKE BIG GAiinj> m
NATIONAL LAWS
HALLS
Wets and Dries are divided up
equally for senate seats where
prohibition was the issue while
the anti-prohibitionists cut into
the preponderantly dry majority
in the house.
Three states holding a wet
referendam were Illinois, Rhode
Island and Massachusetts and
went overwhelmingly for repeal.
The anti-prohibition forces
made one of their biggest raids
in Ohio the birthplace of the
apt] saloon league when Robert
J. Buckley, Cleveland Democrat
advocate of repeal of the 13th
amendment, won over Senator
McCulloch, Republican prohibi
tionist.
In other senatorial contests
v- here prohibition figured, the
antis put over James H milton
Lewis In Illinois against the
personally dry Ruth. Kanna Me
Cormack and apparently sent
Marcus A. Coolidge, Democrat,
to victory in M ass achusetts
against William M. Butler, Re
publican, supporter of prohibi
tion.
The Dries split, a victory with
Secretary Davis, regarded as a
dry who won Pennsylvania over
Sedgwick Kistler, Democrat lib
eral repealist.
Senator Hastings, Republican
incumbant, opposed to tinkering
with the dry lav/s, defeated Thos.
F. Bayard, Democrat repealist
in Deleware.
Senator Walsh, Democrat and
prominent dry leader, beat his
Republican opponent in Monta
na, Albert J. Galen, a modifica
tionist, and Representative Dick
inson, Republican, who is claim
ed by the Dries, won over Sena
tor Steck, Democrat, listed as a
repealist by the a ssociation
against the prohibition amend
ment.
Other prominent prohibition
supporters returned to the sen
ate included Borah, Republican
of Idaho, and Sheppard, Demo
crat from Texas.
Rhode Island which never rat
ified the 18th amendment, vot
ed almost four to one for repeal
of the Constitutional provision.
The complete vote for repeal
was 172,545 against 47,540.
Incomplete returns in Illinois
showed big majorities for repeal
of the 18th amendment and
the State enforcement act and
for modification of the Volstead
act.
Incomplete returns in Massa
chusetts also gave more than
150,000 majority for repeal of
the state enforcement act.
