TRANS-PACIFIC NON-STOP FLIGHT.

· FROM YOKOHAMA TO TACOMA,

DARING FLYER CONFIDENT OF SUCCESS.

Further details are now available by mail from Japan of the proposed flight from that country back to the Pacific Coast. It is interesting to note that Mr. Gatty has a sister living in Hong Kong," The latest news regarding the aviators' plans will be found below.

The maximum length of runway obtainable at Tachikawa is said to be about 1,200 feet This, together with the fact that these days wind velocity seldom exceeds 10 metres, is expected to make it extremely difficult for him to take off.

"She was built by the Emsco Air- "craft Company at Doxney near Las Angeles. It is 30 feet long, with the maximum wing span of 60 feet, equipped with 420 h.p. Emaco-Wasp motor and designed to carry 1,020 gallons of gasoline and 50 gallons of lubricating oil,

I intend to pilot her between myself and Harold Gatty. The plane, with full load weighs about 5 tons. Figuring her hourly gaso line consumption at something like 90 gallons, at which she can make 100 miles an hour, she can stay aloft for 50 consecutive hours.

The surface of the flying field for the take-off will need no pavement, but will have. to be solidified and made smooth. The plane will fly from Yokohama to Tachikawa and, in case the field is found unsuitable for the take-off, the plane will then fly to Kasumi ley's request. gaura, concludes. Lieutenant Brum-

Selection Up to Bromley.

It is expected that the "Aviation Headquarters will permit the flight after obtaining understanding_of the Communications Office. The Aviation Headquarters will not on- ject whether the American bird- man chooses Tachikawa or Kasumi gaura for the departure, but will first let Lieutenant Bramley select either one of the two airports and then fly to the selected field.

Lieutenant Bromley afterwards visited the Communications Office accompanied by the American Chargé d'Affaires Edwin L. Neville to get the understanding of the office concerning the flight."

Mr. Gatty, who will pilot the City of Tacoma with Lieutenant Bromley, made his appearance at the Naval Hydrographic Depart ment at Tsukiji. He was interview. red by Dr. Ogura, from whom he advice as to the atmospheric condi- got various suggestions and some tons and other rantters of the Pacific which have closest relation with the proposed flight,

UNNECESSARILY SEVERE BEATING.

PROSECUTION BY S.C.A

The inflicting of unnecessarily severe chastisement with a piece of firewood on her daughter was the cause of a Chinese woman appear- ing before air. Whyte Smith at Kowloon

Magistracy yesterday, when she was charged with beating an 11-year old girl. After hearing evidence, the Magistrate was' about. to pasa sentence on the woman, but out of consideration for the future welfare of the small girl, he ad journed the case for 48 hours for further consideration by the pro secuting officer.

Defendant admitted the charge, but submitted that the girl was her daughter and that she had chastised her for disobedience.

Inspector J. Murphy, of the S.C.A., appeared for the prosecu tion.

The medical certificate regarding the girl's injuries was read out, and these, it was stated, were caused by being struck with pieces of fire- wood.

Magistrate: She is entitled to beat her daughter," but apparently she had used an unreasonable. amount of förce.::

His Worship further said that if be accepted the defendant's plea, he could convict her of common as- sault. If the S.C.A. wished a benvy penalty to be imposed they would have to give evidence against the mother.

Inspector Murphy replied that that would not be to the girl's in- terest, as the S.C.A. had no power: to take the girl from her mother. He would only ask for a smalt ne- which could be paid by the mother.

His Worship adjourned the case, for 48 hours and advised Inspector Murpity to consult the S.C.A. parti cularly with regard to what will bappen to the girl after the case. If there were an assurance that the girl would receive better treatment. in future, his Worship would have

The Lieutenant who apparently forgot to carry his passport with him, had much difficulty in getting permission to land, but the authori ties, in consideration of the miti- gating circumstances, allowed him to land at noon, and half an hour inter the Lieutenant found himself in the Imperial Hotel, Tokyo.

Hopes to Leave Soon.

In fact I wireleased to the Tacoma Chamber of Commerce, while aboard the boat last night, asking the Chamber to induce Secre tary of State Stimson into exercis ing his good offices in this matter, and I am confident whatever differ ences there may be can be ironed out amoothly.
