Cheviot Youth- Loses Life in Big Miami River Two Companions Are Saved- The first drowning pf the season was reported yesterday when a Cheviot youth, who was helping to construct a summer camp near Clevea, Ohio, drowned in the Big Miami River between -Cleves and Miamltown after canoe in which he was crossing the river with two companions overturned. His companions saved their lives by swimming to shore.

The youth was David Wehrmeyer, years old, North Bend road, Cheviot. His companions were William Heilman, 23 years old, North Bend road, Cheviot, and Walter Hoffman, years old, Taft avenue, Cheviot. The canoe, apparently was caught an undercurrent, of the river, which high and running rapidly at present, It was said. All three of the young men, after being plunged into the river, started to swim for shore, feet away. Wehrmeyer, who was not a good swimmer, swam to a clump of willows just off shore and clutched the willows.

Just then, for some unexplained reason, due possibly to exhaustion following his swim, young Wehrmeyer suddenly released his hold on the willows and sank. Marshal W. 8. Balser, Cleves, and County Traffic Officer Frank Wiley directed ineffectual efforts to recover body yesterday afternoon. Swimmers dived in the vicinity and grappling hooks were used, but without avail.

The body had not been recovered early this morning.

Fog, Rain, Then Hail Besets His Pathway. Happy To See Dawn! Daring Boy Declares. Cobham Amazed That "You Did Whole Flight By Dead Reckoning" First Leg of Voyage Easiest. Paris, May 22 (A Captain Charles A. Lindbergh today told the story of his flight from New York to Paris to a group of newspaper men in the American Embassy, and when he had finished everyone was firm in the belief that he was a real flying genius.

"Being newspaper men," he began, "I suppose you gentlemen are Inter ested first In knowing what was the most dangerous thing about our flight "The most dangerous thing of all was that landing at Le Bourget, bringing that ship down on a field with all that crowd running." had more fear at that moment for the welfare of our plane than at any other time in the whole flight START IS FAVORABLE. "The first part of the flight was better and easier than any of us expected. The field In New York was muddy, which made the take-off a little long, but we got away all right All the way up the American coast to Newfoundland we had uncommbnly good weather lots better than expected. But for the next 1,000 miles it couldn't have been much worse for us." At this juncture the Ambassador re marked, "When Lindbergh says "we' he means the ship and himself." All the way through, except when asked for a personal opinion of something, the filer used the first person plural in describing the voyage. FOG IS ENCOUNTERED.

After we got away from land," Lindbergh continued, "we ran Into fog, then into rain, then hail- Sometimes we flew not more thahn feet above the water, and the highest was 10,000 feet We went, up that high to try to get above the storm, but the average altitude for the whole second 000 miles of the flight was less than 100 feet. If we bad known that the weather would be as bad over that part of the ocean as it turned out to be we would not have started, but once we got Into It there wasn't any use in turning back; there wasn't anything to do but keep going. 'We were mighty happy to see the dawn, which we ran Into about 2 clock New York time. IRELAND IS SIGHTED. "In the afternoon we picked up Ire land.

From the maps we had and from what I read at home, I knew that England was a sort of hilly, roll ing country. France is pretty flat and Ireland inclined to be mountainous.

I am a flier myself; my name is' Cobham, and I new over here from London a few minutes ago see you and tell you you have done the greatest thing I have ever heard of."

Paris, May 22. Up In a dingy flat near the Place de La Republlque, a heartrending scene was enacted this afternoon between "Slim" Lindbergh and a gaunt old French woman between a hero and the mother of a hero. Broken Mine. Nungesser's old heart may be. Friends say it la, despite her rigid calm and her stubborn Insistence that her son still Is alive.

But it still is a great warm heart and this afternoon she folded to It the boy who realised the dream her Charles so tragically missed, she might have been the type for the hero mother, the mother of heroes for all time. Holding the young Yankee close, she let go a flood of tears, the first any one has seen her shed all the time since her son has been missing.

Several Senators and Representa tives today, said they gladly would sponsor such a measure. This hoj- or, however, probably will be left for Missouri Senators and Represent, tlves because of the fact that Lind bergh's flight was a clvlo enterprise backed by citizens of St Louis. The medal last was conferred on Commander Richard E. Byrd for his epoch-making flight over 'the North Pole by airplane last summer.

Mrs. Evangeline Lindbergh afterward In formed the New York American and' Universal Service over long distance telephone from Detroit that she could hear Charlie, but Charlie couldn't hear her.

Then Mrs. Lindbergh exclaimed, wistfully: "Oh, I did want him to hear my voice. I wanted to tell him how proud I am of him. There was so much that I wanted to say to him things that only a mother would want to say." Mrs. Lindbergh said that she was tremendously elated to hear- the bright, cheerful tones of her son coming back from Paris, to which he flew In the remarkable time of 23 hours and 20 minutes.

Mrs. Lindbergh described the conversation: "He told me he was having a won derful time. And he said he was feel ing fine. That was the best news I oould have, after all, wasn't It?

FASCISTI And Opponents Battle In 'Pittsburgh Theater Clash Marks Celebration of Italy's Entrance Into World War. Pittsburgh, May 22 (A.

One man was Injured when In a clash between Fasclstl and anti-Fas-clsti at the Harris Theater here to day. Police reserves, armed with riot guns and swinging maces freely, restored order. One arrest was made. The clash took place during a cele bration, sponsored by the Itllan Legion of Pittsburgh, of the twelfth anniversary of Italy's entrance Into. the World War.

Disorder developed almost at the outset of the meeting. After the entire audience had stood during the singing of the "Star-Spangled Banner," members of an anti-Fascist group seated themselves when the band struck up the Fascist national anthem. Hoots and Jeers greeted this action and ten police officers assigned to the meeting quickly hustled most of the anti-Faaclstl from the One man was cut severely by a chisel hurled from the theater balcony. Soon afterward a crowd of 100 or more in the street attempted to rnake their wayjnto the theater, butlwere scattered when police reserves Vent Into action. The street was cleared and ordsrj restored.

Jruundated. Most of the Inhabitants, ancestors of the Acadians exiled from Nova Bcoti'a two centuries ago, had refused to believe that water would come to drive them into exile again. But when "Hoovaire," as these French-speaking "Cajuns" prcmounco the Secretary's name, told them it was they speedily started Into exile. Two hundred motor trucks arrived at New Iberia and immediately began combing the countryside for refugees. Hundreds of boats arrived on special trains.

Six hundred are to be there inside of ten days, pursuant to Secretary Hoover's mobilization order. Now sweeping over the far-famed ugar cane, corn and. rice fields of St. Martin Parish, the crushing flood waters are expected to spread fanlike over the Gulf of Mexico parishes, as though determined not to leave a stone dry. Entire communities are on the trek.

WEALTH TAKES WING. Wealthy men today will be paupers tomorrow. The rescue trucks back up to homes. Treasured articles are loaded, and the families top it all by gazing with tears in their eyes at the homes and farmlands they are forced ill leave prey, to the advancing Juggernaut. 1'lere are 200,000 head of livk stock besides hundreds of thousands of chicked and hogs in the path and wake ''of flood.

The roads are crowded with nerds of live stock being moved Into refugee pastures. Desperate efforts are being made to save animals as well as human be-' ings, but it is realized that thousands of cattle, mules and hogs are drowning every day. rciirht thousand refugees have ar torn 10 runs. Boon after he had" had breakfast, the oourageous and charming young man from the Mlddlewest telephoned to his mother In far away Detroit. It was the first time a private telephone call had linked France with America, but It was only one of many precedents that the world set today In the general desire to show Its admiration for the sandy haired, soft spoken aviator who made the transatlantic flight In his little monoplane and In solitary glory, IJf HEIIIIICK'S CARS.

Hanging up the receiver at the end of the conversation with his mother, Lindbergh placed himself In tbe cars of Myron T. Herrlck. The Ambassador led him to the balcony of the Embassy to please the crowd that had been standing In the street clamoring for a sight of him ever since the word wenj; forth that at last the young hero had arisen from his gloriously earned sleep. After that two score cameras had to bo accommodated; then Lindbergh told the story of bis flight to a group of newspapermen eager to send hla words around the world. As his first act outside the Em" bassy since his arrival, the young American did a thing that made hi.n even mcro beloved In the hearts the French, who already had gWen to him such praise of tongue and 'pen i no man has known in years, MAKES CALL OF SYMPATHY.

With the Ambassador as an bsoo't the birdman went to call on the sorrowing mother of the gallant French aviator, Captain Charles Nungesser, wh, set out to fly the Atlantio a for'-night ago and has not been heard of since. All France has been touched deeply by this Visit of young Lindbergh to express his sympathy to the mother of the Frenchman who Is believed ti have sacrificed his life in attempting th perilous adventure that Lindbergh later was to achieve. Descending six flights of stairs from Madame Nungesser's apartment, Lindbergh was besieged by crowds of pretty girls eager to obtain his autograph, JI willingly stoppod and gave hundeds of signatures rather than dlspjfease any of them. AH, SWEET KISSES! But he was bashful when, in exchange, the bewitching Parlslennes kissed him on both cheeks as a re- yard. "Funny, Isn't bassador Herrlck.
