Aero Pioneer Is Accused
As U. S. Reveals Alien
Smuggling Ring, Planes
EL PASO, Tex., Mar. 2.—George F.
Puflea, the third man to own and fly
an airplane in the United States, is
under arrest here, charged with smug
gling aliens into the United States.
Puflea followed the Wright Broth
ers and Curtiss as the third pioneer
in aviation and established the first
air school in, Mexico.
He is under $10,000 bond, charged
specifically with smuggling four
aliens into the United States from
Mexico. The aliens smuggled into
the United States are Mrs. Margar
ita Ruiz and Johann Scotsch, a Ru
manian.
Federal immigration officials and
border riders declare hundreds and
| probably thousands of immigrants
have been smuggled into the United
States by airplane since the quota
, law of 1010 went into effect. Alien
running through the clouds has be
come a lot more popular and profit
able with the smugglers since con
r gress passed the drastic restriction
’ measures, effective last July, the
officials say.
The authorities declare an air
~ plane smuggling ring exists, which
i is directed by a number of wealthy
r men in Mexico City, two of whom
5 are Americans. At least seven dif
; ferent planes are believed to be en
gaged in the bootlegging of aliens in
to the United States. These planes
also bring in drugs they say.
Puflea, who served under Villa,
Carranza and Obregon and lias also
held a commission as major in the
Mexican air service, declares that he
was “framed.” He insists that his
arrest was due to his refusal to run
aliens into the United States. During
the world war, Major Purflea served
with the U. S. army. For two and a
half years, 1917 and 1918, he was a
civilian instructor in acrobatic flying
' in the United States army. He was
born in Roumania.
immigration omciais say tney Know
nothing of Major Purflea being “fram
ed.” They are investigating the al
1 leged connection of the major with
• other cases of alien smuggling.
Recalling some of his early experi
ences in the flying game, Major Pur
flea said:
“Pioneering doesn’t pay. I had the
third ship in the United States.
Wright and Curtiss had planes when
I built mine in New York in 1908. I
had to pay a hungry man $25 to make
test flights as a passenger. Now folks
pay double that for making a ten min
ute flight. If my passenger had not
. been hungry he would not have risked
his life in the air.
Shot Down Twice.
“In 1909 I held the world’s attitude
record for a few days by ascending to
what was then the startling height of
390 feet. Then a Frenchman added
a few feet to the distance and I was
sunk.
“I established and operated the first
aviation school in the United States
from 1910 to 1912 at Garden City, on
Long Island. It was at that place that
I built the first hangars in the world
while the remainder of the flyers sat
back and laughed at me for my ex
travagance. Those hangars i • 2 still
fc ag.
“How many accidents have I had?
As many as there are days in the
year.
“I came west in 1913 and at Silver
City succeeded in going as high as 50
feet off the ground with a 40-horse
power plan. That was a quite a feat
in view of the fact that Silver City
is 6.000 feet in the air.
“Then I shifted to Mexico where I
flew for Pancho Villa, Carranza, Obre
gon and others during the revolution
ard periods. I have been shot down
twice, once near Tampico, on April
21, 1915, and again at Merida, Yuca
tan on May 13, 1915. Both times I
burned my machine.
Had Narrow Escape.
“The first aviation school establish
ed in Mexico in 1915 was my idea.
“I faced death in my narrowest es
cape in Millington, Tenn., on August
22, 1918, while making an exhibition
flight. My passenger fell on me as
the plane crashed to the ground, and
I suffered a fractured jaw, a fractured
skull and broke my right leg.”
Drastic Cut in Swedish
Armed Forces Proposed
STOCKHOLM, Mar. 2.—Drastic re
ductions in the personnel of the
Swedish army have been proposed by
the government in line with a gener
al policy of economy. While defi
nite figures have not been made pub
lic it is regarded as probable that a
bill reducing the army from six to
four army corps will be introduced
in parliament some time during the
coming session. This would result
in the disappearance of a number
of historic regiments, some of them
more than 300 years old. The navy,
under present plans will not be affect
ed.
The government plan is to cut down
the number of infantry regiments
from 30 to 18, and artillery regiments
from six to three. Training for the
infantry would be decreased from
255 days to 140 each year and for
the artillery and other troops from
360 to 240.
The plan is based upon the theory
that Sweden’s military position is
greatly better now than in 1914, and
the fact that Sweden has no com
mon frontier with Russia. Oppon
ents of the measure, however, point
to the recent unsuccessful revolt at
volt at Reval, Esthonia, as a sign of
danger, and it is expected that warm
debates will result when the measure
comes up for consideration in Par
liament.
American Birds and Beasts
Travel Far for New Homes
MELBOURNE, Australia, Mar. 2.—
The director of the San Diego, Cal.,
Zoological Gardens recently brought
to Australia a large shipment of Am
erican birds, animals and reptiles
to be exchanged with the Melbourne
and Sydney Zoological Gardens for
Australian fauna.
The shipment, said to be the larg
est ever brought across the Pacific
included four alligators, five rattle
snakes, 25 monkeys, two Canadian
timber wolves, three coyotes, four
desert lynxes and a large variety of
smaller animals and birds. They
have been placed in the Sydney zoo
for acclimatization.
NORWAY TIRES OF
DANISH NAMES
OSLO, Norway, Mar. 2.—Since
Christiania changed its name to Oslo
for the purpose of wiping out all sug
gestions of the time when Norway
was under Danish control, many
other cities have also expressed a de
sire to return to their original Nor
wegian names.
Christianastad now wants to be
called Storesand; Trondhjem wants
to return to the name of Nidaros,
and Bergen hopes to be called Bjo
ergvin.
