The plane, property of John Hay Whitney, was demolished, When the ship crashed from an altitude of 200 feet, the motor, instead of burying itself in the ground, crashed back into the cockpit crushing the two passengers. Only one reason could be assigned for the crash by airport officials. It was pointed out that a new propellor had Just been fitted on the plane and that this was the first flight with the new "prop." It was probable the experts said, the new "prop" failed give the plane enough lift to fly with three persons aboard. A Week ago Sunday, Stultz had a narrow escape from death In a Sikorsky amphibian. He had flown to the Harvary-Yale boat races and was returning alone when he ran into dense fog.

And jP the probable surprise of old line Jt.mocrats, Democratic senators will fht for a Mantranese tariff while Republican senators will be urging for it on the free list This about face on the part of Democrats and Republicans so far as their party records are concerned-will be due to the v.se of Manganese in steel manufacture. Senator Ash-iirst (D) of Arizona, Haden (D) of and Wlveler (D) of Montana, already have urged a t-tilff of one cent a pound on Manganese ore to protect the ore porducers of their nates.

This rate has been opposed by Senator Reed of Pennsylvania, because the steel Industries in state import all the manganese used in their manufacture of "In a ten of the best steel, a tariff fiof one-cent-a-pound on manganese Lt2 adds $2.50 to the price, since from 8 to 13 per cent of the steel is "In ordinary steel, the elimination of this tariff would reduce the price about 35 cents a ton."

The 21 -year old student was dead when pulled frm llu. burning plane. The tragedy in full view of several hundred persons attending a ball game, the plane crashing In an adjoining field.

It was his handling the giant plane Friendship on the trans-Atlantic trek that drew the admiration of Miss Earhart and led her to declare that virtually all of the credit for the success of the flight should be given him.

Harwood, one of the passengers was connected with the flying supervisor's office at Roosevelt Field. Mrs. Stultz was given first inkling of the fatal crash when she asked, in answering a query, "Has anything happened V- him?" "We're sorry, byt he's been in an acrident." she was told. "Oh was it serious?" she asked. Her voice" brotre, and fearing for the consequence of the shock, the reporter asked that Mrs.

Shradel be called to the phone. Stultz, who brought fame to Blair county when he participated in the trans-Atlantic flight of the Friendship, operated a flying- field at Tipton, near here, with Walter Hite. Stultz was a native of this region, and while it was yet too soon to dis cuss funeral plans, it wes thought that his bodv will he brought back here for a hero's burial. Word of the flier's death spread 1 like wlldifre through the little village where his mother and sister make their homes.

Duncheskie was engaged in taking down some cribbin in a gangway preliminary to erecting a cement form when losee rock weighing almost a hundred pounds rolled out and him on the leg, causing a i'ractuie between the knee and ankle. The aged miner was given first aid treatment and then removed to the hospital, where the fracture was reduced. Because of Mr. Duncheskie's advanced age, the injury is considered quite serious.

ATTY. LARK SPRINGS Continued From Pf On ney Welsh, for the plaintiff, d3clared that the poor board even when they had decisions already laid down by the court refused tc observe them. Expenditures, he argued, should not exceed the millae rate. The bank had a right to be uaid nut of the rurrent revenues for 1928 As a creditor it had a preference, but instead of that preference a matter of SS.OOOwas paid to the Central Bank of Philadelphia. He urged that the bank be paid before the lifting of the junction.

In the financial statement of the district as of April 23, 1929, neither form, number or date maturiity of loans were apparent, he assgrted. "It is not worth the paper it is written on" was his scathinc climax to this phase of the plaintiff's argument. Stephen L. Gtibbon, attorney for the Shamokin Banking Trust company, then attacked the statement, declaring that $52,000 had been omitted. His statement was challenged by Attorney Lark.

The net Indebtedness of the district, over $150.00 at the present time according to testimony already presented, will hive to increased by over $2,000 at the end of this year if the present p'an is 'nllow'd. This p'one. he argued, is conclusivs proof that the poor board does not intend to make payment on its outstanding debts. In his renlv to the argument of the bank's attorneys, attorney Lark said that th defense does not con tend that officials of the poor district In making these loans were 'trictly legal In every respect These loans, said, were made without consMer-ation of the time for payment when GET TRUMP CARD IN TUE PCDR BOARD CASE Now for that 1929 Coaster Wagon.

the bie bev from Excelsior took on the Herculean role recently by hurling both ends of a double bill for the Frederick team of the Blue Ridge league but lost out in the second encounter. Walter took the first game by a 6-2 margin but dropped the nightcap when his tesm-mates became erratic and he received little support which finally ended in a less by a 4-3 count. Walter did not weaken and was go ing strong at the end of the second game which proves that he has reached the peak of his condition. This will no doubt allow him to re turn to the Three-Eye League from which he wis sent at the beginning i of the season dud to an Injured ankl.

The Numidia hurler had the locals under control while his team- mates pounded the local moundsman for seven hits which manufactured four runs. The local were gaining the upper hand of the contest the seventh frame much to the dismay of the of-j flclal and he In turn called a runner out at second base who witnesses of the contest claim was safe Realizing that the umpire would continue calling them wrong the local aggregation called hostilities to a close for the day and were willing to accept defeat although knowing that It was practically forced upon them.
