NEW YORK. May 28—Two aud- acious French flyers, Captain Mﬂllriile R0651 and Lieutenant Paul Codos. brought. their huge silver monopiane, the Joseph Lebrlx. down at Floyd Bennett Field, at 1.38 p.m. Wdiiy_the second westward non- 5WD crossing of the Atlantic m... Paris to New York.

Gloomy Atmosphere at Geneva as States- men Gather to Dis- cuss Disarmament.

(C. P.-A. P. Clblh) (By Guardian’: Special Win)

GENEVA, May 28—Hints were heard here tonight that a. new move would be made to get Germany back into the tottering world dis- armament conference. The move was said to revolve around the United States. _

First word that such an attempt might be made came from Louis Barthou. French Foreign Minister. who told the French pres that Norman Davis, United States rep- resentatlve, would introduce a "most important" resolution at the opening of the arms talks tomor- row.

The Associated Press learned nu- merous delegations have asked Davis to present a resolution in- viting Germany back into the oon- ference which she left last year.

Davis. however, appeared to have declined to take the initiative by extending an invitation, to Ger- many, although it was said that in his address tomorrow he plans to express the hope the Rleich will re- turn. It wan thought likely such a reference by Davis would be fol- lowed by a direct invitation to Ger- many from some other delegation.

Despite thBSg reports the confer- ence appeared so far without a starting point for its deliberations. As far as could be learned no dele- gatioli was prepared to take the lead with a new disarmament plan. However, rumors that Germany

Miners

(By Paul Gliddon, Canadian Press Correspondent) (C. P. By Guardian's Special Wire)

AMOS, Que, May 28-Grave fears wore expressed here tonight for the safety of a crew of miners at the Malrohic mines property in Malartlc Township, Qua, located in the heart of an area. ridden by fire sweeping in from surourlding bush land.

Telephone liiles to the mine were destroyed today and no word was received from there up to a. late hour. During the evening, however, an ominous note was sounded when fire fighters along the power trans-

mission line heard the mine whistle blowing every few minutes. It was the mine’; SOS call but no help could be sent in.

No word had reached here as to whether or not the mine plant has been destroyed. It is located in a remote section, heavily wooded and regarded as a fire trap. It was hoped some word would be brought to Amos before morning.

At a. late hour tonight bush fires were under control in the Siscoe Bourlamaque mining area after the ﬂames had consumed the mining plant on the siscoe extension prop- erty yesterday.

I-‘REDERIGTCN, N. B , May 28 -With more than five forest fires raging in the northern part of New Brunswick tonight, and with homes in oullyling settlements in the Kedgwick area oi Restigouche

district of Gloucester County, being vacated, conditions were thought here late tonight by C. L. Miller, Chief Forester. to be the most ser- ious sincc 1023, when $3,000,000 worth oi timber was lost through forest fires.

The ivol-st firc area. tonight was said to be around Kedgwick. This morning, fires were reported a; the top of Brodci-‘ck Iiill, between Kedgwlck and the Kedglvick River. while another was burning three miles further north. In the after- noon, a third firc, between those two, sprang up. The three fires merged and swept eastward toward Kedgwick Village, on a four-mile front. Large crews of mcn fought desperately but were forced to re- treat.

Another firc broke out iii the afternoon at Stillwater, northeast of Kedgwick, covering about 40 acres. Still another fire was report- ed at range l0, near lots 50 and 5i

The largest lire of all in this area was at Cillsholhrs Brook, which started at Riv-aids Mill, four miles east of the villa-go of Kodg- wick, and swept down Chlsholma Brook on old burn for a distance 01' about ten miles.

County and the Alcida settlement ing

homes in the outlying settlements fell prey to the flames and it was learned that women and children had been conveyed safely into the village. The fires were headed for the immense old burn of 1923. Three others were reported be- fought in Rlestigouche count- at Glenlevit. Squaw Cap settlement and Mitchell's settlement, south of

Jaoquet River. In Gloucester County, at the new Alcida. settlement west of

Petit Rocher and north of Nlgadoo River. l5, settlers lost their build- ings.

In Queens County. north of Min- to, about 50 acres were burned and the machine shop of the Minto Coal Company went up in smoke and flame. The fire was thought to have started from a spark from a locomotive, and the blaze was under control late tonight.

In Madewoska. County, there were fire; on CNN!!! Lands and on old pulp cuttings near Quisibis Mountain, which covered about one square mile.

York and Victoria counties also have their shore of forest fires. Boyle's Corner on Pigeon Brook, in the Parish of Douglas, York Coun- ty. was the scene of l. blaze burn- ing over about 50 acres of granted land, but the fire was expected to be brought under control by tomor- row.

Beer and Wine Will Not Be S old In Digby Hotels.

(C. P. By Guardian’: Speclll Wire)

DIGBY, N. S, May 28.—Eiector3 of Digby decided today beer arid wine would not be sold in the town's hotels. In a plebiscite under the Nova Scotia. Liquor control Act, they voted 332 to 8'7 against the proposal.

It was the first plebiscite 0n the question since the act came into ef- fect in 1930. its terms provide that the liquor commission may permit sale of beer and wine by the glass in communities where the voters ap- prove.

Approvai of the proposal today would have meant that, subject t0 the commission's ratification, beer and wine would have been placed on sale in hotels here. They would have been served at meals. At pres- ellt, liquor is sold only ill the com- missi0n's stores throughout the pro- vince. This policy has been in ef- fect since August, 1930, almost a year aftcigthe electors of Nova Sco- tia decided by plebiscite to abandon prohibition.

In Digby. it was claimed by the "wet" forces the sale of light liquors in hotels would stimulate the tour- ist trade. opposing the step, the “dry" forces waged a strong cam- paign, claiming a wet vote here would pave tile way for similar moves all over the province.

A plebiscite on the beer and Mne question is sought also ill Halifax, but whether it will be held has riot been decided definitely. The city wants the province to bear the cost, though the Liquor Control Act says comlnuriltics must pay I01‘ their own plcbiscitcs.

hlcailwllilc, court action has been instituted in an attempt. to declare the whole act unconstitutional, a- long with the acts of the seven other Canadian provinces who have under- taken government control of liquor. Dr. John J. Power, K.C., appealing a conviction under the Act, claims it was ultra. vires the Nova. Scotia Legislature.

He proposes, he said lust night, tc onrry his appeal to the Privy Coun- cil. Alld he claims that it that body upholds his appeal it will mean the other provincial acts are declared ultra vires also.

New Egg Record ' Made For Canada

AGASSIZ. B. C., May 28-Bar- red Plymouth Rock plillcl, N0. 2 owned by A. Pennington of Agassiz. has established, what is believed a world's record at the Dominion ex- perimental farm llcre with 200 eggs in 204 days, all the eggs being of standard weight. or more.

Pullets qualify for government registration by laying 200 eggs, each weighing two ounces or more. in 365 days. Accomplishment of this feat is only 204 days has never been equalled in an official egg laying contest before, authorities believe.

Ban-ed Rock puliet No. 3, owned by the Delta hand Co. Vancouver, has also laid 200 egos in 20f days here but all her eggs were not the full two ounces and she has not yet qualified for the registration. dereen l0 L.

OTTAWA, May ‘ZS-With a ma- jority of 3'1, the Bennett Govern- ment beat back a determined drive by the Liberals against one of the clauses of the Marketing Bill in the House of Commons today. It took all afternoon to pas the clause giving the Cabinet power to restrict imports and exports and license shippers. .

As soon an one obstacle was was cleared. another was reached and the slow progress of the past two weeks was maintained. The Liberals started another offensive against the clause establishing fines and imprisonment for any person failing to comply with the orders of the Dominion or local market- ing boards. 1t passed without a vote.

In n. committee vote, with most of the Liberals paired, 83 Conser- . vatives and six United Farmers supported the clause empowering the Cabinet to limit imports and exports. Two Liberals voted against it. Leading the fight against the clause was Liberal leader Macken- zie King who again claimed the Government was seeking the power as a. cog in an Empire-wire nlove- ment for planned trade and finan- cial policies. Just as quickly was the charge denied by Hon. Robert Weir, Minister of Justice.

Mr. further said the bill involved promulgation of a. policy of scarcity.

Third reading will be delayed several days. due to the necessity of reprinting the bill to incorporate a. score or more amend- ments introduced in the last day or two. i

Since introduction late in March. the bill has been contentious, arousing heated debate every time it came up. It passed through com- mittee tonight without a. vote but there may be further foreworks and there may be further fireworks and probably a division, on third read-
