Crown Prince Humbert never once looked in the direction from which a shot was fired at him in Brussels today, the Evening News correspondent said. Later, as he stepped from his automobile, the Prince said: "It was nothing nothing at all. May the Princess not hear about it?"

THINK ATLANTIC CLAIMED FLIER From Page One perils of transatlantic flying which already has claimed the lives of twenty-seven others, all of whom started the journey with far better odds of experience and safety equipment. Faint Hope That faint hope, held by few except a faithful wife and Diteman's aged parents, was no greater than that held for all of the adventuresome fliers, whose names are now listed in the roll of the missing.

It was based mainly on the possibility that the Golden Hind, romantically named after the famous galleon of Sir Francis Drake, to whom Dite-man claimed kinship, might have been located by a vessel without wireless or landed in some out of the way place where news of its safety could not be immediately flashed to the outside world. The latter possibility, like many others, was remote because exhaustive inquiries by radio and wireless from the British air admiralty and officials of Le Bourget flying field, Paris, revealed no trace of the flier along the coasts of the British Isles, the English Channel or France. Gas Supply at Greenland Another hope was raised last night by news that Diteman two months ago had ordered a supply of gasoline stored at Julianshaab, Greenland. Belief that the Golden Hind's pilot may have landed there was refuted mainly by the letter Iia lpfh brbind at Harbour Grace in Lehigh University (Dean Dr. G.

M. McConn). "Three years ago we abolished all athletic scholarships. No athletic prowess is taken into consideration when scholarships are awarded. I know this because such matters are handled by a faculty committee of which I am a member.

"What some alumnus or group of alumni may offer a student to attend Lehigh is beyond our knowledge. We have no way of finding these things out and probably couldn't stop it if we had. Aside from the possibility of this sort of thing I believe Lehigh is clean. Six years ago it may have been different." Southern Methodist (Athletic Director R. N.

Blackwell). "I do not believe the charge of subsidization of recruiting of athletes obtains in the Southwest Conference. And figures of employment for students here show that of 835 working students only twenty-five were athletes."

Questioned by Caraway Under questioning by Senator Caraway, Democrat, of Arkansas, Grundy said he had "helped" to keep tariff rates high and to keep the protective tariff on the statute books. "What did you come here for this year?" "I was here to see the protective tariff re-enacted." "And strengthened?" "Yes." "And rates made higher?" "Yes." Never Investigated "How many times have you been investigated as a lobbyist "Never." Then Caraway went to Grundy activities in raising political campaign funds. Grundy said he raised $700,000 in the Coolidge campaign of 1924.

He said he had raised some of this fund from Pennsylvania manufacturers. Before he took the stand Frederick H. Meisnest, assistant to the vice-president of the Atlantic Coast Fisheries Corporation, told of being hired away from the' United States Tariff Commission by the corporation. The commission paid him S3200 a year and the fisheries corporation gave him a salary of 5000 plus a bonus. Meisnest said his first duty for the corporation was to prepare a brief for submission to the Senate Finance Committee.

DEATH RATE OF INFANTS HIGH The mortality rate among babies in this city was high last year, it was revealed by Dr. M. J.

Raunick, city health officer, who addressed the fiealth study group of the Harrisburg Welfare Federation last night. Doctor Raunick said that seventy-nine infar, died last year before they were one month old and 121 before they were a year old.

There was not a single death in I this city from diphtheria in thr-e years, the health, officer reported.

He lauded the work of the Christmas Seal Camp, operated in Higi-spire during the summer for undernourished children.

Within a half-hour after they reported in the classrooms at 9 o'clock this morning, the scholars were on their way home for a vacation unasked but none the less appreciated. Their shrill voices and dancing eyes indicated they did not care how long the controversy between the instructors and school board directors over the payment of back salaries, or rather the non-payment, continues. Dismisses Students J. Alex McAa was in charge at the Central High School where 500 students reported. He ordered all into the main auditorium and explained that their instructors had not reported.

He then dismissed the students indefinitely. In the other buildings, the school principals handled the situation similarly. Not a teacher was on duty in the sixteen school buildings in the district, according to reports to the supervising principal's office. A special session to confer on the educational emergency has been arranged by school board directors for tonight although the individual directors today were frankly uncertain about their future course. Teachers Adamant The teachers remained adamant today in their decision not to return to the classrooms until their salary claims are satisfied.

Court action also was mapped out by the striking pedagogs to force payment. "What will we do?" said one official to a query by an International News Service reporter, "what in the world can we do? If the teachers won't teach, we will have to close our doors until they decide they will." Efforts of State officials to stop the threatened strike failed, th.3 teachers refusing to deviate from their course. Reports were circulated today that other districts may face similar crises in the event that school board officials do not provide for the regular payment of salaries.

The King and Queen also sent congratulations to their son on his escape. Deep regret at the incident was expressed at the Vatican when the United Press informed officials there of the attempt on the Crown Prince's life. Monsignor Pizzardo, under-secretary of state, immedi ately carried the news to the Pope and to Cardinal Gasparri. Great joy at the deliverance of the Prince was expressed, especially because his religious zeal has aroused wide admiration in the church.

Plant Superintendent Is Found Injured Along Railroad Tracks In a critical condition at the Harrisburg Hospital, where he was admitted last evening, Hugh Finch, 62, of 409 South Thirteenth street, is suffering with head, back and probable internal injuries received in an undetermined manner. W. L. Shay, Pennsylvania Railroad policeman, with other railroad employes, found Finch lying between Pennsylvania Railroad tracks at Paxton street. When he received his injuries he was on his way home from Pintsch Compressing Company, 405 South Second street, where he is superintendent.

He had left the plant at 5.35 last evening. Railroad employes say they found him a half hour later. It was his custom, fellow employes say, to cross the railroad tracks in Paxton street in order to make a short cut to his home. ICKINSON GIVES NO PREP HELP From Page One never been done in the thirty years I have been at Dickinson," he said. "Some of the charges against Dickinson were true at the time the investigation was made," Craver said.

"The survey extended over a period of three and a half years. Since that time Dickinson has entered the Eastern Collegiate Athletic Conference with Gettysburg, Franklin and Marshall, Muhlenburg and Ursinus. These colleges are bound by the rules of the conference and no aid is given to any athlete in excess of the an nual tuition charges of the school." "Unfair," Says F. M. ead of Carnegie Charges By United Press LANCASTER, Oct.

24. Commenting on the report of the Carnegie Foundation on methods of securing and aiding athletes, Dr. Henry H. Apple, president of Franklin and Marshall College, at Lancaster, said: "It is evidently unfair for the Carnegie Foundation to make a general charge against colleges growing out of individual cases. Everybody recognizes there have been and are today undesirable conditions, but institutions of learning are endeavoring to cooperate with any effort to make conditions better.

"The great danger in this is the harm to the boy himself, and we are greatly concerned about his welfare. "It would be interesting to have the information on which the statement of the Carnegie Foundation is based who paid the money and to whom it was paid. They reveal a few of the alumni in their desire to help bring condemnation upon the institution to which the boy is sent. "Even the accuracy of some facts may be questioned. We realize that the representatives spent only a few days at each institution and could not verify the facts.

I am doubtful if the report of the Carnegie Foundation describes accurately the conditions in the institutions of the present day. I am not denying that to some extent the practice is carried on, though not by the institution. "So far as Franklin and Marshall is concerned, the old athletic scholarship, which included contingent fees but not board or room or books, has been abolished." Misrepresents Present Situation Dr. Hanson GETTYSBURG, Oct. 24.

Except for tuition athletes at Gettysburg College do not receive any subsidy, and all must meet scholastic requirements to remain in the college, Dr. Henry W. Hanson, president of the institution, said today in commenting on the survey of the Carnegie Foundation, which purports to show that nearly all colleges, among them Gettysburg, offer financial inducements to athletes. Neither is alumni or any other form of subsidization permitted, Doctor Hanson said. "The statement of the Carnegie was true as affecU HEIR TO THRONE ESCAPES BULLE From Page Ont Unknown Soldier.

The automobile had come to a stop beside the edifice. The band struck up the Italian national anthem. Prince Humbert started to descend from the automobile. Po lice, gendarmes and troops stood at attention. Few saw the youthful assailant slip through the wooden barriers surrounding the Unknown Soldier's Tomb.

At a distance of about ten yards, the youth drew a revolver and fired at the Prince. The bullet missed its mark presumably because of the haste of the youth in firing. Assailant Caught Police rushed to surround Prince Humbert and the royal car, but before they could seize the youth, King Albert's chauffeur had leaped from behind the wheel and struck him to the ground. Angry citizens pounced on him and were administering a severe beating before police restored order. The assailant was picked up bodily by police and carried to a nearby police station.

He was bleeding and bruised. His name, he said, was Fernando de Rosa. He was 21 years old, a student from Milan, Italy, and said he came to Brussels from Paris on the night train, arriving in the Belgian capital in time to join the celebration over the announcement of the engagement. 3 E7 HEIR TO De Rosa had used a revolver in las attempt on Prince Humbert's life. It was assumed that in his excitement lie did not take proper time to aim his weapon.

He fired only one shot before the king's chauffeur struck him. After De Rosa's arrest, police announced that another Italian had been arrested rushing toward Prince Humbert's automobile. He was unarmed, police said. They did not reveal his name. The attempted assassination of Prince Humbert was not the first art against the house of Savoy.

King Humbert grandfather of Prince Humbert, whose name the present Prince of Piedmont carries, met death by an assassin's bullet at Monza on Julv 29, 1900. The attempted assassination also recalled the unexplained stoning of the Italian embassy last week. Many believed that the demonstrations in front of the embassy were protests against the execution of a Jugoslav at Pola recently. In other quarters, however, reports said the disorders were prompted by resentment against the then expected engagement of Princess Marie Jose and the young Italian heir to the throne. When soldiery had restored order, Prince Humbert directed that the ceremony proceed as planned.

He was remarkably calm and modestly acknowledged the ovations of the crowds. As the policemen carried the bleeding De Rosa r.way, Prince Humbert walked from the automobile to the tomb and placed a wreath upon it. Minister of National Defense Count Charles de Broqueville and the Italian ambassador Carlo Durazzo received Prince Humbert at the tomb. Returning, he reviewed the Belgian troops which had been assembled for the ceremony. Then he left in the king's automobile, driven by the chauffeur who had first struck down the youthful assailant, for the Italian emhassy.

He was given another ovation as he arrived at the embassy. The Italian colony congratulated him on his narrow escape. Hardly had he acknowledged their reception when King Albert and Princess Marie Jose appeared to add their congratulations. The meeting between the young Italian and his fiance was the first since the royal proclamation was issued this morning announcing their engagement. Meanwhile, police announced that the second Italian arrested had been released.

His name was Carlo Bel-linfante di Longano, a resident of Charelcroy. He was seized near De Rosa and police first thougnt he was an accomplice. Later it was learned he was attempting to seize the young Milan student when police arrested him. Few followed the police squad which carried Pe Rosa to the station at the conclusion of the ceremony the tomb, hundreds went to the station and began a demonstration. Demand Death The demonstrators soon took up the cry of "a mort" (to death, and angrily demanded that the prisoner be turned over to them.

De Rosa's injuries were slight, al-thouih he had been kicked and crushed by the throng which seized him. The youth was tall, well dressed and handsome. Police wera amazed at his poor markmanship and some even wondered if De ltosa had fi'ed a blank cartridge. The daring of the youth alco was amazing. He had dared the attempt on the Prince's life in full view of hundreds of soldiers and in view of many crowded shops, banks and cafes along the Rue Royale.

Any doubt of the seriousness of De Rosa's intentions, however, was removed by the youth's confession to police at the station. He readily told of his journey from Paris and his lans. He declared he wanted to kill Prince Humbert because he (De Rosa) was anti-fascist and believed in the principles cf tha Second Internationale, Mussolini Congratulates Crown Prince on Escape Bv t'nfK'I Pros ROME, Oct. 24.

The injured, two of them women, were treated at the Hollywood Emergency Hospital." One man was said to have been burned critically. The immense loss was attributed to the destruction if irreplaceable negatives upon which major film companies had lavished hundreds of thousands of dollars. Among the films believed to have been partly destroyed were "The Taming of the Shrew," the first picture co-starring Douglas Fairbanks and.

Mary Pickford; "Rio Rita," featuring Daniels, and "Hell's Angels," air war picture. Destruction of the building and its equipment caused estimated loss of more than $200,000. Two explosions were said to have preceded the flames. A spark from a polishing machine wa3 reported to have caused the explosion of a film on which Miss T. B.

Anderson was working. While the girl was burned severely about the face and arms, the detonation probably saved a great number of lives since most of the employes fled then. Second Explosion The entire laboratory was fired when the second explosion occurred. The known injured were: Mrs. Irene Beardslce, 40, burned about the face, arms and back.

Miss T. B. Anderson, burned severely about the face and arms. J. G.

Nienan, critically burned in leading about a dozen girls from the building. Albert Walker, minor cuts and burns. Unidentified fireman, overcome by smoke. Unidentified man, scalp wounds. Ten Girl in Room Ten girls were reported to have been working in the room in which the first explosion occurred.
