C. Case of the geoulogy department brought back approximate- ly 500 specimens of vertebrate forms, notably the skull of a large phyto- saur, nearly five feet long, and weigh- ing 410 pounds when packed for shipping. The discovery of this skull, according to Professor Case, "adds a'9ther extremely valuable specimen to the geology museum, which al- ready has the best collection of Tri- assic vertebrate material in North America." . With Professor Case on the trip were W. H. Buettner, preparateur in P'eontoiogy, and Donald A. Holm, grad. They went first to western Kan:;as, where a colletcion of fish material was found in Cretaceous eiLal_ ,1s, icluding parts of the skull and vertebral column of a large fish, Portheus, nearly as large as a modern Tarpon. From there the party went to, western Oklahoma, where Professor Case had a three day field conference with F. N. Bullard, of the Universi- ty of Texas, who will be here next year as a candidate for the doctor's degree. . Following that they traveled down the east side of the Staked] Plains examining Triassic beds. At Spur, Texas, they were for three days in Triassic beds from which previousl expeditions haye brought many good1 bones. This summer's expeditiona brought back small specimen which Prelessor Cas says is an entirely new form. : From Spur the party went to Big . Springs, Texas, near where are lo- cated Triassic deposits not previous- ly searched. Here was obtained the giant Phytosaur skull. Following this the Permian beds of Archer and Baylor counties in Texas were visited, whore a considerable number of speci- mens were found, 4prticularly two lish of an uncommon variety. DA WSON WINNER IN FLINT TOURNEY (By Associated Press) FLINT, Aug. 5.-John Dawson, of Chicago, won the Flint country club invitational golf tournaent this after- noon by defeating Johnnie Malloy of Ann Arbor, state amateur champion, 5 and 3. First prize was a Chevro- let roadster, which Dawson will drive home tomorrow. Dawson was 2 up at the finish of the morning round of 18.holes. While Malloy squared the match and was one up twice in the afternoon, he was never able to equalize the morn- ing advantage of his opponent. Dawson broke high in the morn- ing with a 70, two under even figures, and Malloy was equal with par. They played out the 18th in the afternoon when fDawson had a chnce for 70, buit he failed by taking a six on the n Players make their last summer bow Errors."

Flight After Plane Remains In Air 52 Hours TO HOP OCEAN MONDAV f (By Associated Press) DESSAU, Germany, Aug. 5.---Voic- ing jubilent confidence that they will succeed in flying from Germany to New York, Cornelius Edzard and Johann Risticz landed this morning after an airplane flight which broke the world's record for duration. Taking off at 5:50 o'clock Wednes- day morning the German flyers donned their Junker W33 plane re- mained aloof until 10:13 o'clock this morning, flying 52 hours 23 minutes and 8 seconds, and breaking the form- er record of 51 hours, 11 minutes, 25 seconds held by Clarence D. Chamb- erlin and Bert Acosta.. The long flight left no doubt in the minds of the pilots and officials of the Junker's airplane works that the 1 proposed two plane flight to America will succeed. There are indications that a start is planned for Monday. "I'm sure we'll make it," remarked Edzard before retiring for a long sleep after the endurance 'flight. "We have ,fuel enough for traveling fifty- two hours flight this time, and we might have taken 660 pounds more, which would have enabled us to fly more than 60 hours. Even with con- stantly unfavorable winds, the ocean can be crossed in that -time." Although the official records of the endurance flight have not yet been proclaimed by the German Air Con- ference, no doubt is felt here that the time will be recognized, as well as the distance of 6,040 kilometers covered, equivalent, to 3,750 miles, not counting about 850 kilometers cover- ed in searching about the Dessau flying field. The flight broke the dis- tance record of 4,400 kilometers held by the French flyers Matrice Drou- hin, who used a Farman biplane. Messages sent out by the aviators during the long flight indicated they were in cheerful mood,, and just be-' ore they landed they gave brilliant evidence of good humor by dropping part of their sandwich supply for the faithful gathering which had stood a ong vigil to welcoie them. i i C to stay their execution now set for s'ome time after next Wednesday night, was being formulated today, but the exact steps remained shroud- ed in mystery in the absence of a de- finite statement from Arthur D. Hil, who has been engaged to continue the 1 fght for freedom for the two inter- naionally known radicals. Hill was closeted in his office most of the day with a number of men who have been identified with the case. These includedt Prof. Felix Frank- furter, of Harvard;- Herbert Ehrmann, associate of William G. Hampton, who resigned yesterday as counsel for the condemned men; and Atty. Muzmanno, of Pittsburgh, who is now working with the Sacco-Vanzetti defense com- mittee. Attorney Hill Prepares Petition During the day Attorney Hill called in Francis B. Sayre, of the Harvard law school who remained with him the greater part of the afternoon. Sayre, son-in-law of the late Presi- dent Wilson, told newspaper men he believed legal action would be taken in the United States district court in Boston. B While Attorney Hill remained silent on his probable course of action, the defense committee, through Attorney Muzmanno, defluitely annouced that counsel for the condemned men\ would go before ,a justice in the Norfolk county superior criminal court at Dedham tomorrow, and ask for a new trial on the grounds of newly discov- ered evidence. Attorney Muzmanno said that 1fill was preparing the petition. The al- leged new evidence is the discovery made in the course of Governor Ful- ler'sinvestigation of the case of an American Eixpress company receipt for -a barrel of live eels. The eels were shipped from Boston to Vanzetti in Plymouth on December 20th, 1919, four days before the day of an at- tempted holdup in ;Bridgewater of which he was convicted and sentene ed to state prison for twelve to 15 years. It was the defense commit- tee's contention that the eels were delayed in reaching Vanzetti, and that on the day of the holdup le was marketing theme in Plymouth. Alibi Witnesses Offered The defense offers alibi witnesses to testify that they bought eels of Vanzetti on the day in. question. Similar testimony was offered in his later tajl with Sacco for the Brain- tre, payroll murders on conviction of wh:wh both men now face the electric clrztr. ,,Iow tie committee hopes to Byrd Chooses Norwegian Whaling Vessel, "World's Queerest Ship" For His Expedition ToAntartic And South Pole Flight, I Te a h e N~anI - .linkl the, express receipt with the mur- .~.. ~ de: case w~as not explained in the ',S~~$SS9.
