THE PILGRIM FATHERS.
WEDNESDAY, AUGUST
Plymouth. Mass, Aug. 2. The celebrations in connection with the tercentenary of the landing of the Pilgrim Fathers was brought to a climax with the arrival of President Harding aboard the yacht Mayflower, escorted by six destroyers. One hundred thousand persons witnessed the parada portraying incidents of the original, landing. The British cruiser Cambrian was among the assemblage of warships in harbour. The Naval Attache represented the British Embassy. President Harding, in an address, hoped that the coming disarmament con- ference would bring the world a new era of peace and freedom. He characterised the international situation as "more than promising” and said the seeds of tolerance and understanding planted by the Pilgrim Fathers was beginning to bear fruit a thousandfold inter- nationally.
FLYING TO THE NORTH POLE.
Washington. Aug. 2
Mr. Edwin Naulty, a physicist who has for long been interested in aviation, announces his intention of dying to the North Pole in September. He proposes to start from Point Barrow, Alaska, and proceed to Spitzbergen and North Cape observing, en route, the ocean, air and ice current The aeroplane will carry four men, including Naulty, is expected to average one hundred miles per hour and will carry fuel for fifty boars' dying. It is intended to make several landings on polar ice, but if this is impracticable the aeroplane will fly ifteen hundred miles to Spitzbergen without landing. If success- ful other fights will be attempted to settle definitely the location of the magnetic pole and the determination of the magnetic polar verticity. Naulty's son Leslie is proceeding to Europe to arrange the continuation of the flight from North Cape via the Scandinavian capitals to London.

Outlining the circumstances of the case, Mr. Dennys said that on the afternoon of July 10th, second defendant attempted to force through a barrier on the ferry wharf at Hanghom without a ticket, but was prevented from doing so by complainant. A struggle ensued and an Indian constable, who was on daty near the whart, chased defendant and caught him Defendant escaped, however, by slipping of his coat. Nothing more was heard about the incident until the following day when the second defendant; and a party of men interviewed complainant and made various threats to him and a claim for compensation for the coat, which defendant had lost. In C003e- quence of his report to the Manager of the Eastern Ferry Company, .complainant was trans- ferred to the Kinshan wharf, the Hongkong wharf used by the com- pany, but his transference did not put an end to the trouble for jzoveral days later both defendants went to the Kinshan wharf and told complainant "You have got to settle this matter, otherwise you will get into trouble." A report was made by complainant to his master and in the evening of the same day a detective was ordered, given to discuss compensation, bat eten at the request of the master, to he did not attend because he month, writes a correspondent. accompany complainant to Hong-anticipated a big crowd at the What men call a "useful" girl. hom to meet defendants on the tea house prepared to assault very capable in the domestic asghom ferry wharf, which had him if he should refuse to aphere, often bas by no means, a teen previously appointed for the give compensation to the second pretty hand.
