A National Guard, airplane, coming here to take Chief Engineer T. JE. Cutler of the State Highway Department to the National Guard camp at Nevada, was wrecked when it came down on the Jefferson City airport this morning.

The plane was piloted by Lieutenant Clifford Hutchison of the 35th Division Air Squadron, St. Louis, National Guard officers here said. The pilot at the airfield said his name was "Jones," adding that he had taken Lieutenant Hutchison's place this morning. Coming into the field from St. Louis, the pilot brought the Douglas bomber down and rolled about ten feet on the ground when the plane suddenly nosed over, bounced a couple of times and settled on its back.

Chief Engineer Cutler, waiting at the field for his ride, and'field attendants rushed to the plane. They assisted the pilot from the craft, finding him unharmed'but consid- erally shaken up. The ship apparently- struck a soft spot or depression in the field as it rolled to a stop. A top wing was crumpled and the tail assembly of the ship dam- Big Increase In The Number of Tags Sold By Collector Sturm HILE the dog catcher's lariat is not sending many dogs to the pound, it is bringing dog owners to John Sturm's office for tags for their favorite canines. As a matter of fact the collector is about out of tags.

To date two hundred and sixty-three Jefferson City dogs, plain and fancy, are sporting tags entitling them to live in Jefferson City. That represents a big increase over the same period last year and is probably a record. Due partly to the advertising given him and partly to the ability of the dogs to dodge the lariat the official has enjoyed only passing luck running down strays. He is expected to lay off for a day of two and then some nice morning issue forth in a surprise attack, using a wire and other orthodox accoutrement of the big city dog chaser. However, he is getting results.

Queries quickly made to local newspaper offices. Attendants at the field denied there had been a wreck at the airport, but a newspaper reporter happened to be at the field.

In response to later inquiries the attendants said the plane had only been slightly damaged and had proceeded to Nevada. Newspapermen went to investigate. They found the ship in the middle, of the field on its back. The army flier would not permit a close inspection and refused to answer questions. His name was Jones, he said.

"My first name, by what authority do you ask that?" he answered another query. Attendants and the aviator said any publicity given the wreck would give the field a bad name. Too much publicity to airplane accidents, they said, hurt the industry. At the offices of the National Guard headquarters here it was learned the pilot's name was Hutchison and that he was ordered here to pilot Chief Engineer Cutler to Nevada. Cutler is a major in the reserve corps.

The chief engineer cancelled his trip after the accident. FUTSL RGCIDENT TTERV1LLE Mrs. Anna Schaper filed suit for $10,000 against Mrs. Edith R. Robben.

Becker, secretary of State and announced candidate for the Republican nomination for governor in 1932, told members of the executives' club in a luncheon address today. "We have reached a critical point the history of our state and nation," the secretary of state said, 'and only the highest type of patriotism and the unselfish devotion of our best citizens can solve the problems we are facing. The business men of St.

Louis and other cities must help shoulder the burdens of the farmers and citizens of rural Missouri." Secretary Becker talked of the "trimming" of the farmer by middlemen; the short selling of wheat, which Becker held accountable for the present low prices; short selling of stocks and the effect on business prosperity; the relative burden of taxation on real estate and personal property and the need of further tax readjustment in the next legislature, ST.

Joseph Chartrand, oishop of Indianapolis, preaching the sermon at the mass, gave a warning against the laxity of modern morals and against greed.

Matters relating to the operatic of the airport were discussed the directors and Col. A. Linxwile chairman of the aviation committee. It was decided to form a cor 1 poration to operate the airport until such time when it can be subleased or turned over to private ownership and management.

The ground is leased from Paul Koch and wife. Since the Chamber has been operating the airport there have been an average of ten transient airplanes on the field each week.

Gets Dist. 53 and May Also Land the Bigger Contract Welfare Department Seeking Temporary Home for Bright Girl Two ordinances dealing with garbage disposal and designed to abolish the prison dump were introduced in the city council last night and referred to the city board of health for investigation. The council also heard from two contractors who expressed willingness to cart away all garbage to a point where the public would not be annoyed. One of the ordinances provided for the use of water tight tanks in carrying garbage through the streets of the city.

Reopening of the subject of garbage disposal is viewed with misgivings by members of the council and city officials and they are proceeding with extreme care and caution. It was not regarded as likely that executive sessions would be called to deal with the subject. Secrecy caused considerable furore and ended with the city owning a farm on the Bald Hill road for which it now has no use. Discussed Dogs The council also discussed dogs, disposition and a dog catcher HE county welfare department is looking for a home for Bessie Bowden, 12 years old, recently released from St. Mary's lospital where she spent six weeks as the result of an accidental shooting at her home in Camden county.

She has been a week-end guesl at a number of homes. Her family is unable to care for her as they would like to and her crippled condition will militate against her receiving an education this winter.

"We want someone to take her into the family for the winter so that she may attend school here," said Mrs. Green, county welfare superintendent. "She is i deserving girl."

WASHINGTON, Aug. --Oil and cement interests today rotested against the proposed 15 er cent increase in railroad rates, with a representative of one oil company urging the Interstate Commerce Commission to use some other method of augmenting railroad revenues. A. M. Stephens, of Louisville, traf- fice manager for the Standard Oil Company of Kentucky, suggested the addition of a surcharge of $5 a car on petroleum and petroleum products instead of a percentage increase.

He contended a percentage ncrease would "destroy and distort commercial and community rate relationships." F. E. Paulson, of Allentown, vice-president of the Lehigh Portland Cement Company, predicted loss of traffic for the railroads if Uie cement rate was increased. Stephens said the oil industry generally believed the railroads entitled-, to sort, oi yeiyyha had" becii. as far as oil was Profits of his concern- last lie added, were'approximately what is aved by using other 1 transportation methods than railroads.
