TWO KNOX FLIERS DIE INTAILSPIN Plane Falls 3,000 Feet, Tearing a Hole In Ground; Board Opens Inquiry. Two Camp Knox aviators were killed instantly at 11:12 o'clock yesterday morning when the plane in which they were flying fell frorrf a height of approximately 3,000 feet.

i They' were Second Lieut. T. Law-son, Hartford, and Private Joseph Reade, Norwood, N. of the Heavier Than Air Detachment at the camp. The fall occurred when Lieutenant Lawson, who was piloting the machine, failed to bring it out of a tailspin which he was practicing.

He had performed this feat many times, but some trouble, it is thought, prevented the successful completion of the stunt. Whether engine trouble, or the strong that was blowing was the cause, has not. been determined. Tears Hole' -Three Feet Deep. The machine, a Curtiss J-N, when it crashed to the ground nose first, tore a hole three feet deep and about twelve feet long.

It turned over, and the tail made another hole in the earth about thirty feet away. The plane struck the ground inside the Camp Knox reservation, near the quarters of the Eighty-first Field Artillery. During the afternoon several officers weie ordered to make practice flights, in order to preserve the morale of the detachment. Irithis, however, De Haviland planes, which are considered a safer type, were used. Board Decision Delayed.

A board of inquiry was appointed by Brig. General William L. Lassiter to investigate the accident. After" sitting on the case all afternoon and examining many soldiers who witnessed the fall, the board adjourned until this morning without rendering a decision.

Even now the Allied troops are on. the move for a late Berlin dispatch says that French troops which will occupy Ddesseldorf have advanced to within six miles of that city. The Allied ultimatum was foreclosed, apparently with reluctance by the British Prime Minister.

The French do not appear regretful while the Germans left Lancaster House, where the conferences have been held, plainly depressed, to take their train for horhv tomorrow. Two Sittings Precede Break. Two long sittings of the conference threshed out tho final break before Marshal Foch and Field Marshal Wii-son wrote telegrams ordering the commanders at the front to execute the orders already given to them.

Dr. Simons in his reply to Mr. Lloyd George said: "Germany is not a member of the league, but she has signed the pact of the league, and I therefore announce, in the name of the German Govern ment, an appeal to the Assembly of tiir T.pairuB of Nations against Un sanctions with which we are men aced." V. S. DECLINES COMMENT.

State Department Won't Say Whether American Forces Will lie Affected. Special to The Cniirit-r-Juuniit! and York Times Washington, March 7. Officials ot the State Department this afternoon declined to comment on the reported decision the Allied Powers to send troops'irito Germany in application of penalties for nonfulfillment of the rpniilroments. and would not say this would affect the policy of the United States Government with reference to the American forces doing guard there. It was reported that the department had not been informed officially of the decision of the Allied Powers; also that the American troops in Germany were sent there under terms of the Armistice of November 11, 1918, and that the occupation bears no relation to the Versailles Treaty.

They did not receive it; but the absence of America has nevertheless had an influence on the situation. "If America was to take the same point now for right and justice that she took during the war we would be able to arrange the future easily." Allied Unity Nearly Broke. The French delegates had a moment's anxiety over whether the British Government would join France in using troops to occupy Rhenish towns. Allied unity was neat the breaking point at the Wednesday conference while the ultimatum was being prepared. Premier Lloyd George is described as having explained lengthily the German difficulties and the desirability of reaching an arrangement by negotiation, without holding too closely to the decision to apply penalties.

"Then 1 see only one thing to do," remarked M. Briand quietly. "What's that?" inquired Mr. Lloyd George. "For the French delegation to take the next train forParis," replied M.

Dr. Eldorado W. Scott, this city, who is under investigation by the Federal, authorities for alleged promiscuous prescriptions for liquor, returned to Chica today from Washington, prophesying freer use ot beer and wines under the new Administration. He conferred, he said, with Andrew W. Mellon.

Secretary of the Treasury, and formed the opinion that wine and beer will be obtainable by patients in case lots on a physician's license, "in a week or so." "This is due to the fact," he said, "that Supreme Court ruled some years ago that spiritous liquors did not include wine or beer. The Eighteenth amendment prevents the manufacture of and sale of Intoxicating liquors for beverage purposes, but not for medicinal purposes. "It is only necessary for the new AdministraUon to issue permits to breweries to mnnufacturc." TO GET 5,000,000 Kentucky Owners May Now Borrow From U. S. Bank On First Mortgages.

More than 000,000 has been al lotted to the Louisville Federal Land Bank for immediate distribution in loans to farmers in Kentucky. Ten nessee, Indiana and Ohio, it was announced yesterday. This announcement followed a con ference of presidents of the twelve Federal Land banks' and the Farm Loan Board, held in Washington last week. Officers of the bank here, anticipat ing word to resume activities, will send sixteen appraisers of farm lands on the road at once. The office force of the bank will be increased to about forty persons, trebling the present force.

Lent On First Mortgages. "The money obtained by the bond sals," Walter Howell, president of the Federal Land Bank here, said, "will not be lent direct to the farmers, but through the agency of the 320 Na tional Farm Loan Associations throughout the United States. "It will be lent to farmers on first mortgages on their farms at 6 per cent for a period of thirty-three years. By means of these loans the farmers will have an opportunity to take up their long-time obligations with their local banlts, thus relieving the situation in the country banks to a great extent. "It is anticipated," he continued, 'that we will receive a large number, of applications for loans.

Secretary- treasurers of National Farm Loan Associations in the Fourth, district, which this bank controls, have in formed me that large numbers of farmers in their districts are awaiting announcement to file applications for loans."

Farm Loan- bonds, it was decided by the Washington conference, will be issued for sale to in vestors. These will be free from tax and surtax, as provided in a recent decision of the Supreme Court, which- upheld the constitutionality of the Farm Loan act. Previous Farm Loan bond issues were at Hi per cent. They were dis- nosed of largely through a group of bond houses. It was announced that the new issue probably will be handled in the same way.

Negotiations are being made with a group ofbond houses which handled former issues, although no decision has been reached, it was said. The Farm Loan Board hold conferences with several bond houses this week In Washington with a view to placing the contract of putting on a drive to sell approximately 000,000 in bonds within the next thirty days, it was learned.

ant Ncw Succi.il to The Courier-Journal York Times. Washington, March ments toaay gave an intimation ot what the policy of the Harding Ad ministration might be in dealing with the press, and. the impression created was not reassuring to those who believe that the American people are ehUtled to be kept informed current ly of what their Government is do ing. of. President Harding said he believed in the fullest measure -of publicity on governmental affairs, but there were- certain happenings to show that if this is his attitude it is not shared by some of the most important members of his Administration.

The first development came through Charles E. Hughes, the new Secretary of State, who expressed to newspaper men displeasure oyer -publication. ot the fact that identical notes had been sent by him to the Governments of Panama and Costa Rica, calling on them to cease hostilities. Daugherty Clamps On Lid. Mr.

Hughes saw Mr. Harding dur ing the. day, and it was reported they had discussed the reference in newspapers to transmission'- of the notes. The subject vas taken up also by Mr. Hughes with officials of the State Department.

Harry Daugherty. the new Attorney General, also took action that newspaper men are inclined to construe as the initiation of a policy of secrecy concerning governmental matters. In a communication lo the principal officers of the Department of Justice signed Frank Gibbs, private secretary and assistant to the Attorney General," the following paragraph occurred: "It is desired that no publicity of departmental affairs be given, except through the established channels, which will be the Attorney General or such person as he may designate." Bars Detailed Information. This means that representatives 'of newspapers are liarred from obtaining information except from the Attorney General personally or one other person designated byhim. It apparently shuts off the ability to obtain information on public questions from Assistant Attorneys General or other high officials who have detailed knowledge of particular matters with which neither the Attorney iGeneral nor his authorized agent would be intimately familiar.

No reply so far as could be learned tonight had been received by the State Department from Panama to whom Secretary Hughes sent a note identical with that transmitted to Costa, Rica.

The dinner began olclock and three hours later the President and his guests still were, discussing the legislative programme for the coming extraordinary session of Congress and other subjects. After the conference broke up and his guests had departed, the President came out on the fron portico of the White. Houst to talk to the 'S-paper correspondents, about fifty of whom' were present. Asked about the special session, the President said "I can only ay to you that it will not be earlier than April i and it might- possibly be a week later.

Also Discussed Taxation. "We also discussed a taxation programme for the session. We were trying to determine which was the real pressing business for Congress whether it was emergency tariff legislation or a complete revision of the tax schedules." The President said army and navy matters had only been discussed "very casually." The failure of the appropriation bills had been referred to, he said, in 'considering what the special session would have to handle. It was exactly midnight when the conference Anally- broke up.
