The casket was taken down the long ramp to the gray funeral car waiting below. The crowd there filled a full city block each way from the car and it was only with difficulty that the motor cycle escort made its way through to the McGann funeral home a mile distant. A scant four months ago these am townspeople and students were standing in the same places, crowding, yelling, cheering, milling about, in a great tribute to Knute Kockne and his team which had humbled the Trojans of Southern California.

Accidents have been few in proportion to the number of persons who have flown, but I doubt very much if there is a single accident which is attributable to any cause except the disregard of the pilot for the fundamental requirements of his business." Laxity Always in Accidents. Mr. Cook declared that in any crash in which he was familiar with all the circumstances he found "none was due to mechanical failure." "This was true even during the world war, when airplanes were neither so well nor so safely con structed as now," Mr.

Cook said. "The pilot had to do something man ifestly wrong before catastrophe overtook him. "Eyewitnesses to plane crashes usually are unreliable. Their stories generally are conflicting, and in the excitement of the accident their eyes exaggerate for them. More sober in vestigation has revealed, time and time again, that the airplane did not wreck of itself, but came to disaster through laxity of the pilot." TWO YOUTHS, ANGERED BY GIRLS, HURL STONES Two youths, said by police to have been incensed because two girls in Beech Grove rejected their invitation to take an automobile ride, were arrested last night charged with malicious destruction of property.

It appeared unlikely that the funeral services will be held in the football stadium as suggested by prominent South Bend business men. University officials also ar considering a huge memorial service to held in the stadium after the funeral. The move to name the stadium Rockne Memorial was growing in strength today, but there was no statement from the university.

Glee Club Dismissed. The Notre Dame gle club's pro posed Easter vacation concert tour through the East was canceled to. day and the club was dismissed. The gymnasium was closed today and all athletic activity has been postponed until after th funeral. The athletlo association offices also were closed.

Several South Bend dinner clubs, all of which Rockne had addressed on numerous occasions, today were planning memorial dinners and services. Adam Walsh, line coach at Tain university and captain and center on the 1924 national championship football team, was the first of the former stars to arrive here today. Charles (Chile) Walsh, star end in 1927. also arrived today and others had made reservations at downtown hotels for arrival tonight and tomorrow. The cloak of sorrow which has en shrouded the campus was mora poignant than ever today as the old Notre Dame players and other friends of Mr, Rockne began to Telegrams and telephone calls of condolence continued to pour in here today to President Fether O'Donnell, to the athletic association and to Mrs.

Rockne's home. Others came from national figures in all walks of life. Practically every prominent football coach In the country was represented and hundreds of telegrams came from students and officials of universities, high nchools and grammar schools all over the nation, as well as from alumni and alumni groups.

The members of the club will remain on the campus throughout the Easter vacation. Boy Scouts of the St. Joseph Val ley Council, remembering Rockne for the positions he intrusted them with during the games in tne Dig stadium last fall, will attend the funeral in a body.

Flags were flown at half staff on the streets of South Bend and Mish-awaka and from the school buildings and everywhere there was a grim respect for the passing of South Bend's great citizen. Burial Place Not Decided. It was not determined today whether Rockne will be buried In Cedar Grove cemetery adjoining the Notre Dame campus and across the road way from the great stadium where "Rock" reached the height, of his colorful career, or whether' the body will be placed, in a Chicago crypt. Burial will depend upon the wishes of Mrs. Rockne.

The city Council met in special session tonight to pass a resolution of condolence and order the closing of all business places during the hour of the funeral. The campus at Notre Dame and the streets and homes of South Bend Wednesday reflected the gloom and sorrow that fell like a pall over millions from coast to coast when the news of Rockne's death was flashed out to the world. 2,000 Kneel In Prayer. In the Church of the Sacred Heart on the Notre Dame campus early this morning 2,000 students knelt before the high altars while the Rev. Father O'Donnell read the low mass.

Throughout the services a constant stream of young: men who had cheered and prayed for Rockne and his teams on the football fields, approached the sanctuary rail to receive the holy communion. Here Rockne had knelt in 1925 and received the sacred host that made him a member of the Catholic church. Second Hurried Trip. Mrs. Rockne was preparing to leave Miami, for her South Bend home yesterday when the news reached here that her famous husband ha died in the crash.

With her at the time were the two younger Rockne children, Mary Jean and Jackie. Two years ago she made another hurried trip, that time with Rockne. They were speeding home from Los Angeles, staggered by the report that the life of their youngest boy, Jackie, was in peril after a peanut had become lodged in his lung. NOTRE DAME CLUB HALTS RECEPTION The pall cast over activities of Notre Dame university and its alumni associations by the death of Knute Rockne, the school's famous football coach, has caused plans for a re ception to be held Easter Sunday afternoon by the Notre Dame Club of Indianapolis in the Academy of Music, 502 North Illinois street, to be canceled.

Feeney, Indianapolis business man and business associate of Mr. Rockne in South Bend. BOOK BY ROCKNE MAY BE PRINTED Knute Rockne may become a posthumous author.

At the time of his death he was working on a book on football to be published by the Bobbs-Merrill Publishing Company, officials of th publishing house said yesterday. The great coach's book was to have been about seventy-five thousand words in length and was to have been completed May 1. Much of Rockne's life history as as his knowledge of football was to be contained in the book, it was said. How much had been completed the publishers did not know. A representative will go to South Bend soon to get information concerning the manuscript.

WALKER MOURNS TRAGEDY. EL PASO. April Mayor Jimmie Walker of New York said today It was quite possible he would stop over In South Bend for the funeral of Knute Rockne, whose tragic death he mourns. Walker is en route to New York after a vaca tion in southern California. Train schedules might interfere with his being present at the Rockne funeral, however, the mayor said.

He plans to arrive in Chicago Friday morning. "I knew Rockne very well," Walker said. "He was a won derful character, one of the greatest students of boys who ever lived. I believe he could get more out of a football team than any. other man.

His death is a great loss." MOURNFUL CROWD IN CHICAGO. CHICAGO, April Sorrow Ing men of Notre Dame, heads bared and with tear-fllled stood with thousands of plain, every day Chi-cagoans tonight to receive, in silence, the body of their pal and football coach, Knute Rockne. As the train bearing Rockne's body from Kansas City pulled into the Dearborn street station, the throng, numbering thousands, silently looked on. Tender hands of Rockne's foot ball buddies lifted the box containing his casket and escorted it half a dozen blocks away to the LaSalle street station, placing it aboard a train that was taking Rockne to his home-coming back to the Notre Dame campus that knew him as a student, as a famous athlete and later as the outstanding coach of the nation.

W. ATTERBURY, Philadelphia, April irt, 1931 President The Pennsylvania Railroad Carries Mere Passengers, Hauls Mort Freight Than Any Other Railroad in America SHIP AND TRAVEL VIA PENNSYLVANIA "Mechanical failure is never tho direct cause of an airplane accident," Walker W. Winslow, president of the Indiana Aviation Corporation, and H. Weir Cook, general manager of the Curtlss-Wright Flying Service of Indians, ssid last night. "Airplanes don't fall to pieces, burst into flame or suffer engine failure unless the pilot has disregarded fundamental principles of safe flying," Mr.

Winslow declared. "Flying in bad weather is a fruitful source of disaster. Some day, without doubt, man will be able to fly irrespective of visibility, but that day is far off. Right ow we sadly need public sentiment in favor of safe flying, and no flying at all when conditions are bad. False Notion of Courage.

"Many of our disasters go back to a false notion of true courage on the part of our pilots. It takes real courage for the pilot, faced by soupy weather to say and make a landing instead of making an effort to go through and to go through blind. I don't know of a single accident in the past two years in commercial aviation where a direct mechanical failure was responsible for the accident. "Motor failure should not mean fatality.
