FEW DAYS
WHEELER FIELD, Honolulu, June
2, (/P)—The plane Southern Cross
landed here safely yesterday at 12; 19

mile flight from Oakland only after
hours of tenseness had been felt tor

If the scheduled previously an
nounced is followed the fliers will
take off within a day or two for
a daring 3,100 flight to Suva, in the
Figl Islands.
HONOI/ULU, June 2. (JP)—Deter,
mined to continue their flight to Aus
tralia was reiterated by Capt. Kings
ford Smith and his three companions,
after their successful flight from Oak
land. The aviators are undecided
whether the nest landing place should
be Suva, 3140 miles distant, or the
Isle of Opolu at British Samoa, 2500
miles distant.
The nest hop is considered by the
fliers as the most perilous. Facilities
for landing at Opolu are recommended

Suva. The third hop will be to Bris
bane, Australia, 1795 miles distant.
The hop-off from Honolulu is planned
for not later than Monday.

STATES MEMBER
NEW YORK, June 2. (^p)—Tammany

. testified in the Senate Presidential
l Campaign investigation.
I Denying that Tammany is a political
91
I organization, Olvany said it is a pa
| triotic society which has its head
quarters in a “place called Tammany

, part in politics, Olvany said. Senator
j Barkely declared, “In the minds of
qhe public Tammany is regarded as a
r political organization.” Olvany re
^ plied, “That's because the Democratic
county committee of New York Iras
made its headquarters in the building
known as Tammany hall, owned by
| the Tammany society. It is there by
| sufferance only.”
