AIR MAIL PLANE CHRISTENED
WITH REAL CHAMPAGNE
NEW YORK, May 20.—(,/P)—L.
Charles Cox of the Cox-Klemin Air
craft corporation, builders and de
signers of the new air mail plane
“Night Hawk,” said last night that
real pre-war champagne was used
in christening the plane at Curtis
field by Miss Anne Morgan this
afternoon. The liquor, he said, was
Taken to the field with a trans
portation permit from prohibition
authorities. Mr. Cox would not say
where he got the champagne.
In the absence of R. Q. Merrick,
enforcement agent for New York
and northern New Jersey, one of
his agents verified the fact that no
permit for transport of the liquor
had been asked or granted. Majoi
W. J. Hensley, jr., commandanc of
Mitchell field, who was an unofficial
visitor at the christening, said he
had been told champagne was to
be used and advised against it. Selt
zer water was ordered as a substi
tute, lie said.
Miss Anne Morgan, who is a sis
ter of J. P. Morgan, wielded the
bottle, which was decorated with red,
white and blue ribbons and carried
a label date 1924.
Neither the army nor the mail
service, it was pointed out, had any
thing to do officially with the chris
tening.

General Machado Took
Presidency Yesterday
Of Cuban Republic
HAVANA, May 21.—(JP)— General
Gerardo Machado y Morales, fifth
president of Cuba, and the first Ma
son to be elected to that position,
who takes the oath of office today,
comes of a family known for its sac
rifices in the course of Cuban inde
pendence. His recent election was a
landslide for the Liberals, and also
the first time the nation’s next pres
ident could be predicted with cer
tainty by midnight of election day.
For the first time election day was
practically free from disturbances.
Gerardo Machado was born in Vil
laclara, capital of the province of
Las Villas, now Santa Clara, Sep
tember 29, 1873. His father, Colonel
Gerardo Machado y Castellon, mar
ried Lutgarda Morales. Both of them
were devoted to the ideal of Cuban
independence.
The father saw his son on rare oc
casions when a child, 'because he was
in arms against the Spanish colo
nial rulers. But, in exchange, he
constantly heard his mother’s patrio
tic propaganda, for an her had de
veloped all the duties of the home
where the separatist movement was
daily preached.
At 22 years of age, young Ma
chado was in the field against Spain.
He joined the revolution of 1895, and
took part in many combats, display
ing in all of them extraordinary cour
age and coolness. He won the title
of general and enjoyed an enviable
reputation among the Cuban army of
liberation.
The war ended, General Machado
resumed his business activities, for
he is one of those men who fight
for an ideal, and afterward become
a private citizen without asking or
expecting any reward. In the organ
ization of the first rural guard, he
was appointed Lieutenant Colonel
with headquarters at Santa Clara, a
post which he resigned on being
elected mayor of Cillaclara. General
Machada, a far-sighted statesman,
accepted all the doctrines preached
by Jose Marti, and labored to rees
tablish cordiality between all the in
habitants of his province.
He devoted himself to commerce,
the breeding of cattle, and the cul
tivation of sugar cane. He never
abandoned politics, believing that
every citizen should contribute with
his work and his vote to the govern
ment of the country.
The Liberals, in 1908, chose him
candidate for the governorship of
Santa Clara, but the party became
divided, and he lost by 17 votes.
In that same year General Ma
chada labored for the triumph of
General Joes Miguel Gomez, the Lib
eral presidential candidate, and,
when thelatter was elected, he ap
pointed Machada Brigadier-General
and Second Chief of the Cuban stand
ing army, creating afterward for his
special benefit, the office of Inspec
tor General of the Army Forces of
the Republic.
^resident Gomez then appointed 1
Machada Secretary of the Interior,
a post which he held for two years,
solving many difficult problems,
among which was the negro rebel
lion.
The racial question led him to re
sign the secretaryship and devote
himself to organizing a great nat
ural party, which he deemed neces
sary at that critical period of the re
public’s history. The Liberal Union
ist party was the result. In 1912
many of his followers were electe'd
to congress and provincial govern
ment offices, he being the unsuccess
ful candidate for governor of the
province of Havana.
When the Liberals became reunit
ed in 1916, General Machado labored
especially for the success of the vice
presidential candidate, Colonel Men
dieta, supported by Orestes Ferarra
and other unconditional partisans of
General Gomez. After the election,
disastrous so far as the Liberals
were concerned, General Machado
was invited to rise up in arms
against the government, but the
troops failed him, and he had to
start the movement with prominent
civilians of Santa Clara, among
whom was Mendez Penate. The rev
olutionary movement was defeated,
and General Machado was imprison
ed at Camp Columbia until sum
moned before a court martial and
released.
When General Gomez went to the
United States shortly after 1920 he
asked General Machado to protect
the interests of the Liberal party,
and Machado proved himself wor
thy of this confidence.— He person
ally directed all the activities of the
party, and to him was due the win
ning ot five provincial governorships.
He abandoned his business and open
ed the way for his recent triumph
as presidential candidate.
COLUMBUS ALLEY CAT
IS CRAZED l|Y HEAT
COLUMBUS, O., May 20.—(Jp) —
Crazed by the heat, a Columbus alley
cat went on a rampage today, whip
ping a billy goat, a bull dog and a
fellow feline.
The cat’s first victory was getting
J. F. Krobiel’s goat by springing up
on its back- and biting it in the
neck. It then extended its necking
to a dog and another cat in the yard
of Mrs. Grace Lane, jail matron.
Mrs. Lane wounded the marauding
kitty with a bullet and police finished
its career of crime when they arriv
ed a few moments later.
Health authorities are examining
the body for rabies.
ANOTHER MILK WAR
LOOMS AT SEATTLE
SEATTLE, May 20.—(/P)—A sec-!
ond Seattle milk war loomed here to-!
night after six months of peace fol
lowing disruption of the Seattle Milk
Shippers’ association over an issue
of the organization being Japanese
controlled, it was revealed after a
meeting.
T. J. Owens, former director of
the association, who resigned six
months ago, when he made charges
that the association was controlled
by Japanese, declared the new move
was to give “the farmer six cents
a quart for his milk, or $3 a hund
red poungs instead of $2.45, the rate
being paid by the association.”
Owens announced an organization
meeting of farmers-producers sup
plying milk to Seattle for next week.
He declared the "price of milk dur
ing the war will be sold to resi
dences for eight or nine cents a
quart instead of the present 12
cents rate.”

BALTIMORE, Md., May 20.—(/P)—

sor of Biblical literature at Couch

of identifying sites of ancient cit

Of course a college education does
help, but the sand lots develop many
good natural hitters.
