The State Department informed the Chandler company that every effort 1s being made to free the prisoners and expressed hope that present ne- gotiations would result in their re- lease in the near future REPORT ON PLANE . CRASH DUE TODAY Three Officers Seek Cause of Fall Which Cost Two Lives Yesterday. The board of air service officers ap- pointed by Maj. George Lovell, com- manding officer of Bolling Field, to determine the cause of the airplane accldent yesterday_ which resulted in the death of Maj. Thomas Duncan nd Irvin H. Krupp, a civilian em- ploye of the War Department, prob- ably will make Iits report to the chief of air service some time today. It is composed of Maj. R. L. Walsh, Capt. C. i Reynolds and Capt. St Clair j Streett, Uending the completion of this re- port. no theory could be advanced as to what caused the De Haviland 4-B observation plane to drop into a spin from an altitude of 200 feet while it was taking off for a practice flight, drop to the south end of the fleld and burst into flames, cremating its occupants. Plans for Funerals. Funeral services for Maj. Duncan will be_held at the chapel at Fort Myer Monday afternoon &t 2:30 o'clock, and interment will be in Ar- lington natlonal cemetery. Members of the Sojourners’ Club, & Masonic organization, of which he was a mem- ber, are urged to attend the rites in 1form. "The potentate of Alcazan Temple, San Antonia, Tex. of which the major was a member, wired to Almas Tem- ple here last night that funds to the oxtent of $1,000 are available inci- dent to the death of Maj. Duncan. =~ Services for Mr. Krupp will be hel tomorrow afternoon at 1:30 o'clock at the Lutheran Church, 1st street and Rhode Island avenué norrheast, of which he was an active member, The body then will be taken to Allentown, Pa., to be buried beside that of his mother. Maj. Duncan, who was on duty in the l:l“llll. bureau of the War Depart- ment, and Mr. Krupp, & clerk in the same bureau, went to the fleld early yesterday afternoon for practice fight. Maj. Duncan was the pilot and had the ship on a climb when it fell into a spin and crashed at the south end of the field. The force of the impact threw the heated motor onto the fuel tank, located immedi- ately behind it, and in a moment the airplane was a mass of flames. Be- fore help from the fleld could arrive both men were burned to death and little or nothing was left of the plane. First in Two Years, This was the first fatality to occur at Bolling Field since May 28, 1921, when Lieut. Ames was killed by the falling_of his plane. Maj. Duncan was the son of the late Brig. Gen. Thomas Duncan, who was on duty in Washington several years ago. He was born in Washington state in February, 1882, and entered the Army from civil life in 1906. He was appointed to the Coast Artillery Bchool ~from Pennsylvanla, from which he was graduated in 1912, and in 1920 was transferred to the air service. Later he took the course of training at the school of the line, Leavenworth, Kan. and T‘dunad from that institution in 19 Maj. Duncan had been in Washing- ton about six months, coming here from Keily Field, Texas. At one time he was commanding officer of Carl- strom Field, Florida, and also an offi- cial at Wilbur Wright Field, Dayton, Ohio. He is survived by his wife, Mrs, Barah Duncan; an infant daughter and his sister, Mrs, R, P. Palmer of 1306 Gallatin street, wife of Col. Palmer, uartermaster ' Corps. Maj. Duncan lived at 2232 Q street northwest. Mr. Krupp was born in Souderton, July 21, 1894, and has been in hington about four years. He was & member of Pentalp 5708 M. rtnr s A and Esther the Eastern Star.

Bachrach Arrested in Connection With Bank Case. Harry B. Bachrach, local attorney, was arrested late yesterday after- noon in his office, In the Munsey building, on a warraut charging con- spiracy to defraud in the case of an | alleged shortage of $75,000 trom the | Chatham and Phoentx Nationul Bank 19f New York. He was released this aflernoon in the office of Commis- | sioner George M.

Bachrach told police he knew noth- & of the ailesed cousplracy and that he wus positive the charges have been placed against him to kill his chances for appointment to the bencl of the Police Court.

Following his release on bond Mr. Bachrach requested an examination {in Washington and the date was set for June 19 before Commissioner Macdonald. He fssued a supplemental statement early this afternoon. “The absurdity of my arrest is ap- parent,” he said, “when it 1s reallzed that 1" have been practicing law In { Washington and have appeared be- |fort< the bar openly for the last three !years. 1 understand that this case is i bused upon commission of crime in June of last year. I cannot under- stand why I uld not have been easily found tmmediately if wanted in such” & case, while the authorities were reported to have been searching for me during the interval between {the date mentioned and today. | "I am sure that this is nothing more than a political move directed it me to ruin my chances for appoint- ment to the bench of Police Court.” Specific Charges. It was learned this afternoon that the Department of Justice agents en- {tered the case simply at the request of the district attorney of New York city. A request was flled with the local agents by the United States dis- trict attorney of New York to appre- hend Bachrach. In the complaint that jWas sent to Washington it was charged that on July 5. 1922, Bach- rach had deposited a check in the Bank of the United States in New York city in the sum of $3,000, drawn upon the Chatham Phoenfx Nationnl Bank. This was the specific charge made against Bachrach here. Bernsteln, who is mentioned on ‘he information from which the warrant was sworn, s declared in_the com- plaint from New York to have been emploved as & bookkeeper in the New York bank, and the conspiracy is al- leged against ~other = defendants through aiding, “abetting, counseling, procuring_ and inducing the said Charles “Bernstein as such book- keeper to make false entries.

Oyster is particularly grat | fied With the results obtained yester- day on the one-way atreets and stated that the city heads will con- sider making some of them perma- nent after the convention. The on way streets, by the way, are still in effect. The no-parking rule is the only one that was deferred until next week The humble drivers of flivvers and the proud possessors of limousines jall wore a look of exultation as they | motored down town this morning with the knowledge that the parking ban had been lifted for a week Parking space was easier to find {than usual ~ for., apparently. there were many who did not learn of the suspension of the rule before they left home. | Qulet Time in Business Section. While the no-parking rule was in effect yesterday the business section took on the quiet atmosphere of a Sunday afternoon. The Commissioners lifted *the parking ban yesterday afternoon after a committee from the Merchants and Manufacturers’ Asso- clation had called at the District building and asked for an extension of time on the parking rule only, on {the ground that business had suffered 1t was felt at the District building that there were not a sufficient num- ber of visitors in the city to make the no-parking ordinance necessary 80 early and the request of the mer- chants was granted. Commissioner Oyster today com- plimented the motor car owners of the city on the widespread co-opera- tion they displaved vesterday in com- plying with the speclal regulations and voiced the belief that they would again stop parking downtown after midnight of May 31 as readily as they did yesterday morning. Commends M. and M. Actio; In a letter to The Star today, How- ard S. Fisk commended the committee representing the Merchants and Manu- facturers’ Association for its activity in | having the District Commissioners lift the ban for parking. “The prompt action on the part of this organiza- tion undoubtedly proved a life saver {to the business men of Washington { whose various lines were affected by this stringent order. 1t certainly proved a ‘ten strike’ as a paralyzer of business and if Washington ever looked liked Sunday on a week-day it certainly had that appearance yes- terday,” sald the letter. Personally, 1 have been of the ment of the regulation 8o far in ad- vance of the arrival of the crowds. Why was there any necessity for this action when there here and probably will not be until Memorial day at the earliest? There will be ample time to enforce the regulation and eevn then it will work a hardship if it {s continued until Too Many One-Way Streets, 1 also feel that it walla mistake to adopt so many one-way thorough- fares into effect at this time. In- stead of relieving trafflo conditions I think the powers that be have just multiplied their troubles, which will be more evident when the real jam arrives.

CASSIE. Appointment of Earl W. Cassie, former state parole officer of Arkan- sas, as superintendent of the Indus- trial Home School, was announced to- day by Commissioner Rudolph. Mrs. Cassle, wife of the new superinten- dent, was named matron of the in- stitution. There are a dozen or more minor positions at the school, vacated when the institution was closed last summer, which will be filled by the Commissioners soon Supt. Cassie called on Commissioner Rudolph this morning In company with W. W. Millan, president of the board of children's guardians, after which he took immediate charge of the school. Mr. Millan said he could not state definitely how soon children wouid be sent to the institution again The home school had to be shut down by the Commissioners last summer following a difference of opinion between the board of guar- dians and the trustees of the school. This difference arose over the policy of the guardians or placing as many of their wards as possible in private boarding places in preference to the school.

Dittemore a8 a member of the board was filed in the Massachusetis supreme court today by Frederic Dodge, a former federal judge.

The resolution embodying the missal of Dittemore charged that he had voilated the church by-laws by refusing to be bound by the majority votes of the board, had carried on 2 campaign_for personal influence and control, had so conducted himsel? as to produce discord hetween the board and the publishing society trus tees, had writlen letters to the board containing untrue statements and had acted at meetings of the board in “a rude, offensive and threatening manner." The master's report cited of trust by which Mrs. Ma Eddy. founder of the church, in 1852 conveyed to four tru afterward alled directors, the land upon whic church_edifice later ws erected.

With regard to the method of re moval of Dittemore the report said “The only opportunity offered the plaintiff, after he had heard charges against him read, was an op- portunity to resign. It does not seen to me, in view of these facts, that he can reasonably be held to have lost al} right to object by his failure to ask delay and further inquiry befo vote. It was rather for his ers then proposing to act as_his judges also to ask him in some form, befors proceeding to act upon the assumpti that their charges were true, how he admitted or denied them and to af- ford him not necessarily a formal hearing, but such opportunity heard in his own defense upon charges made as would satisfy the r quirements of natural justice.” Plot Is Charged. The report detailed nume stances of differences betwe more and other members of board, and sald that Dickey, Merri and Neal had lo contemplat Dittemore's dismissal, but with disclosing to him that they w preparing for such action. It told an incident in September, 1917, whe members of the board spent an ev ing in New York. Dittemore refused to accompany Dickey, Merritt and Neal to a musical comedy, saying that it would not be edifying to see the majority of the board at a play of that type, especially as discredita ble reports had been widely circu- lated regarding the star actor in it Merritt, according to his own test: mony, sald to Dittemore: “Come on with us. You are not so much better than the rest of us.” Tha report says that the master's conclusion must be “that the plain- tiff's repeated insistence upon a standard of propriety in language or onduct stricter than that accepted by his associates materially aug- mented the hostility and ~ dislike which his persistent and strenuous opposition to their wishes upon many matters cannot to have oked in their minds toward him I am obliged to regard them as in- capable on March 17, 1919, of impar- tial judiclal consideration of accusa tions against him, especially of ac- cusations framed by themseives, had they ever undertaken such consider- ation.” Objections by tk the master's report were filed with it. They asserted that the master had adopted “improper procedu prejudicial to the defendants”; tha he had written a document in the nature of an opinion instead of mere- ly a finding of the facts, had made unnecessary and erroneous rulings of law and had reported un- warranted conolusions from undis- puted documentary evidence contain ed in the report.
