T % SIX ARE ORPHANED ‘BY PLANE TRAGEDY {Threa Widows and Two } Fiancees of Dead Flyers Live in Washington. The crash of the Army transport Plane from Bolling Field, which fell near Royalton, Pa., yesterday, killing eight men, leaves in Washington three widows, six orphans and flancee of two of the men. ‘The three women who lost their hus- ‘bands and one who lost her sweetheart were so overwhelmed today that they eould scarcely talk of the tragedy. The death of Staff Sergt. Henry - Cronan leaves his widow with three | young children to provide for. An older daughter is married and & grown son is in the Army. The widow, Mrs. Lillian Cronan, is | 45 years old. They had been married | 22 years. “I just can’t understand it,” she said. “Henry had been in the service for 24 years and he served all through the War without being hurt. He would have been retired in five years and we had s0 many plans. Why did he have to be killed so near the end? Sought Extra Flying Pay. “They pay extra money for flying time, you know, that’s the reason he went up. He was trying to make a little extra money for me and the children— that's what hurts. Bt Henry was al- ways that way—always thinking of us and never of himself.” Goodness knows | we did need the money. ! “He was such a good husband-and we were so happy. Of course we never had much, but Henry was devoted to us. He wasn’t the type of man to run around; he liked his home too Well." " The ‘last thing he did before he left yesterday morning was to fix some. orange. juice for little Henry—he's been sick, you know.” 3 In addition to Henry, jr., who is 8, other children in the family are Mary, 11; Dorothy, 14; Mildred, 18, and Reg- inald, 19. They live at 211 Cockerell avenue, Takoma Park, Md. Master Sergt. Joseph B. McCarthy, 1443 U street southeast, was the father of a daughter less than a year old. His widow, Mary Hayes McCarthy, 1s 27. “I was afraid something would hap- pen to him,” Mrs. McCarthy said. “He didn't want to go on this trip, but he said he needed the flying time. Those ‘lht.rplmes—l've always been afraid of em. “Only two nights ago he came home and told me I'd just escaped becom- ing a widow. A plane he was in that day tipped over on its nose while taking off, but he wasn't hurt. ““We've been married six years and have been so happy together. He thought Mary Agnes, our baby, was the greatest baby in the world. I don't know what I'm going to do now.” Mrs. Agnes G. LeHutta, widow of Staff Sergt. R. J. LeHutta, was pros- trated by the news. Planned Surprise Dinner. Mrs. LeHutta had been in bed with the grip for a week. She got up for the first time yesterday and had fixed dinner for her husband. “I knew it would be a relief to him to see me up,” she said. “He'd been coming up so many times to see how I was. I thought I'd fix dinner for us as sort of a surprise for him. Oh, when that officer came in and told me he was dead I just couldn't believe it.” Sergt. Le Hutta was 28 and his wife 32 years old. Before her marriage five years ago she was Miss Agnes Gertrude Coffey of Fairfax, Va. S o Just before Pvt. Michael D. Kelley todk off from Bolling Field on the ill- fated trip he telephoned his flancee, Miss Ruby Brockwell, 19 years old, of 3191 Wth‘ street wgthust “I'm going to make a trip today,” he told her, “T'll see you wn‘x'.m, lyweet- heart.” “The trouble with Mike,” Miss Brock- well said, “was that he had too much oonfidence in those airplanes. He never thought one he was in could fall.” “I tried to get him to stay down, but he wouldn't listen. He was trying to|. get out of the service and had been told his request would be granted. We | were going to get married then.” Miss _Charlotte Butler, fiancee of Sergt. Patrick Conroy, left for Harris- burg. Pa., as soon as she heard of the accident. She reached Conroy's side two hours before he died. She had no opportunity to talk with him, however, for he died without re- ing consciousness, .

THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. ¢ WRECK IN WHICH EIGHT BOLLING FIELD MEN EIGHTH FLYER DIES AS PROBE IS BEGUN INTO PLANE CRASH ___(Continued From First Page). a training flight. The plane in which they made the trip and in which they died was a tri-motored sistership of the famous Question Mark, which establish- ed a new world endurance record in California this week, and of the plane in which the late Floyd Bennett and Comdr. Richard E. Byrd flew over the North Pole. Capt. Harry A. Dinger, who piloted the plane on the flight to Middletown, and Sergt. Charles Mayland, a pas- senger, were making the return trip to this city in an amphibian plane and had taken off 15 minutes ahead of the larger plane. Informed of the crash upon his arrival here late yesterday, Capt. Dinger immediately took off for Middletown again, Are Summoned Before Board. Capt. Dinger and mechanics at the Middletown Army Field, who worked on the plane before it took off on the fatal trip, are appearing today before the board of investigation. It is not expected, however, that they will be able to throw much light on the cause of the acci- dent. Capt. P, F. Christine, acting com- mandant of the Middletown Field, ac- cording to Associated Press dispatches, stated the plane apparently was in per- fect condition when Licut. Angell lifted 1t off the field. His statement was based an the reports of mechanics who went over the plane and motors after its ar- rival from Washington yesterday morn- ing. ‘The plane crashed approximately a mile from the Middletown field. far as could be determined today, motor trouble developed and Lieut. Angell, gliding down to a forced land- ing, failed to clear a tree, on the edge of a vacant lot at Royalton, near Mid- dletown. A wing hit the tree cata- pulting the plane over the field three times. It was necessary to cut part of the torn and twisted wheckage to release Lieut. Angell. Both arms and both legs of the officer were broksen, and he suffered head and internal injuries. Regaining consciousness for a short time, he is reported to have begged his rescuers to shoot him to end his suf- fering. He died on the way to a hospi- tal. Kelly and Conroy are said to have been the only others to show signs of lite when removed from the wreckage. Kelly died soon after the crash and Conroy lingered until this morning. The broken and shattered tree and a furrowed field remained today as the only evidence of the crash at Royalton. Every bit of the shattered debris was removed soon after the crash by a de- tachment from the Middletown Army station, Angell Experienced With Plane. Although the tragedy has cast a pall over Bolling Ficld, Aimy traditions were lived up to and operations were con- ducted &s usual at the field today. Lieut. Devereux M.

He occupled quarters at Bolling Field. ‘The air depot at Middletown today was awaiting the arrival of a detail from Washington to escort the bodies of the flyers back to Bolling Field. Associated Press dispatches disclosed that two hourey before Sergt. Conroy died in a hospital at Harrisburg his flance, Miss Charlotte Bucker of Wash- ington, arrived at his bedside. Officlals of the depot at Middletown pointed out today that although all of the soldlers were quipped with safety parachutes, they were unable to use them because of the low altitude at which the plane was flying when it crashed.

A sturdy little blonde boy who will not e 12 years old until a week from Tuesday led an audience composed principally of musicians, including many violinists of the National Capital (among them Speaker Nicholas Long- worth) within _the inner spheres of music at Poll's Theater yesterday after- foon. The boy, in the simple white blouse above the very short black velvet trousers, was Yehudl Menuhin, His audience sat on the edge of its chairs and gave him applause of ovation pro- portions even between the movements of his sonate and concertos. There were calls of “bravo” and one saw literal amazement in the face of more than one violin teacher in that au- dience. The comment that was on every tongue as the people slowly de- parted after five encores was: “He is even so much more gifted than we had been led to expect.” One heard it on every side. Yre’nudi Menuhin _undoubtedly has profited primarily by the excellent thoroughness of _his~ training under Louis Persinger, himself acknowledged as a violinist of first rank. The facility and strength of the small Menuhin's fingers and the surety and virility of his bowing were technically capable to the most exacting degree. His dcuble stopping, his muted bird-like notes, snd most of all the rounded balance of .his trill are things to wonder at from a musician's point of view. In addition to all this, Yehudi has the human eloquence of a Kreisler in his singing tone and the almost un- cannily mature style of his interpreta- tion. Although he stood only half- turned to his audience much of the time, with his eye and ear constantly alert to the remarkably beautiful ac- companiments that Mr. Persinger played on the piano, still Yehudi did not seem tled to his maestro's directing, but ready always to read the inner meaning both of what he himself was playing and of what Mr. Persinger was playing. Physically, too, it was obvious that Yehudi Menuhin has achieved that miracle for which many adult musi- clans strive for years in vain—perfect, unified co-ordination. One could see that he literally felt the music he was playing, and that he loved it completely. The child’s understanding of the ex- quisite inner shadings of Brahms’ “Sonata in D Minor” was especially amazing. There were times when his playing was so poignant in its depth that there were those in the audience who felt a lump in the throat and not & few handkerchiefs were in sight. He also brought shining ty to his read- ing of the Saint-Saens’' “Concerto in B Minot Sam Franko's arrangemeant of Vivaldi's “Concerto in G Minor” for concert use, dgdicated to Yehudi, was glven its first performance in Washing- ton at this time. It opened the pro- gram and the legato charm of this child's playing of the “Largo Cantabile” will long linger in the memory. Bloch’s “Nigun” was given with all the minor keyed poetry that lies in this Hebrew music, and with religious simplicity. Mr. Persinger, whose play- ing throughout the program showed him to be a rare planist with marvelous tone for this instrument, brought all the Spanish color to the typical rhythms in the accompaniment of Samazeilh's “Chant d’Espagne.” Perhaps the triumph of the whole afternoon was the performance of Yehud! in Paganini's brilliantly difficult “I Palpitl,” in which the trills, bird notes and rounded pizzicati, which came from beneath the little violinist's magic fingers were breath-taking in the skill- ful way in which musicianship was combined with intelligent color in inter- pretation. Yehudi Menuhin is a rare young soffl, gifted with ageless artistry. It will be fascinating to watch him grow and his repertoire increase. There would seem, after yesterday, no doubt that he will grow, for this is no “child prodigy.” He played on a Guanarius violin yes- terday. Also he played entirely from memory. The encores includes “Ro- manza Andaluza,” by Sarasate; “Rondo,” Spohr-Persinger; “Tambou- rin,” by Leclair, and “La Capricioss,” by Ries. H ANGNA ENTERS RECITAL. Making her Washington debut in the type of dance “episodes” which have brought her increasing recognition in the past five years, Angna Enters. American dancer, recital yesterday afternoon at the National Theater under the auspices of the Wellesley and Bryn Mawr clubs of | ‘Washington, benenft. ‘To have read advance articles on Miss Enters’ work or to have digested the as a joint scholarship critical notes included in the program | folder of yesterday's performance, was to feel, in a way, an incapacity to judge her work on any original basis. Not that there was any conflict of opin- lon: there never is under such a system Not that these comments inspired any antagonism in those who had read them and were about to see Miss Enters in person. They inspired anticipation and confusion, Once the curtain had lifted on the| first number, however, the invitation to analysis became unavoldable. ‘The particular medium of expression in which Miss Enters works is incon- fusible with any conventional idea of The Argonne Four rooms, kitchen, re- ception hall and bath, with all outside rooms; every apartment newly decorated; unexcelled service, in a desirably lo- cated fireproof building.

President Coolidge had 20 members of the Senate as his guests for break- fast at the White House today. The President selected his company regard- less of political lines and according to the White House the breakfast was in nowise in the form of a confersnce, the conversation being simply of a general nature, with the President doing most of the listennig. The White House sausage and hot cakes, which have become so famous during the Coolidge regime, were the principal items on the menu. The Republicans in the company were Watson of Indiana, Fess of Ohlo, Moses of New Hampshire, McMaster of South Dakota, Reed of Pennsylvania, Bingham of Connecticut, Brookhart of Iowa, Capper of Kansas, Nye of North Dakota, Vandenberg of Michigan, Pine of Oklehoma and Smoot of Utah. ‘The Democratic guests were Barkley of Kentucky, Fletcher of Florida, Ashurst ofr Arizona, McKellar of Ten- nessee, George of Georgia, Gerry of | Rhode Island and Ransdell of Louisiana. Senator Shipstead, Farm-Labor, of Minnesota complete the company. Senator Smoot, whose wife recently died, has been a house guest at the White House the last few days. { dancing, even of what is called “in- terpretative dancing,” in which the spirit or mood of music is transferred to the realm of dancing. There is so much more than the rhythm of move- ment in this style, so much more of the eloguence of immobility, that one can only subscribe to the artist’s own description of her work in attempting to define it. ' She calls it “Compositions in Dance Form,” and the nearest ap- roach to description is that it is a combination of pantomime and dance. The first number was “Geschichten Aus Dem Wiener Wald” to Strauss’ mu- sic, suggesting a waltz danced with an imaginary partner. “Feline,” a thing of alternately sinuous and startling movement, danced in black against a brilliant backdrop on & gloomy stage, followed. “Promenade” was more pat- terned, the sort of thing that would cause Miss Enters to be associated in thought with such pantomimists as Raquel Meller, Ruth Draper and Yvette Guilbert. In the rext, “Moyen: Age,” as in the later “Queen of Heaven,” one felt the exquisite dignity of the por- trayal, the impression that there was a great deal being suggested which, in the fugitive interlude, could never be wholly grasped—in a way, the fullest significance of Miss Enters’ art. ‘Other numbers, notably “Field Day,” “Cake Walk” and “1927—Entr'acte (New York),” approached so nearly the bor- der line of pure pantomime or panto- mimic dancing that they possessed an immediate, though never fully obvious, significance. The first two named were among the most popularly received. Other selections included “Antique a la Francaise,” “Plano Music,” “Bourree,” “Le Petit Berger” and “Contra Danse.” One thing in which Miss Enters stands ime full equality with any other artist of the “diseuse” or the panto- mimic type, is in her power to suggest a background of movement, dissociable from her own gestures. The feeling of this movement around her. evoked by her own suggestion of its presence, amounted at times almost to conviction that others were present. Her work is a subtle and highly sensitive thing. ‘The costumes and settings were effec- tive, some of the color harmonies being in themselves a triumph of beauty. For these things, too, Miss Enters was re-| sponsible, and for the tone of delicacy and grace which marked the presenta- tion. VIOLONCELLO AND PIANO RECITAL. Two young musicians, members of ‘Washington's younger music circles, pre~ sented & delightful morning of violon- cello and piano music before the mem- bers of the Friday Morning Music Club vesterday. The young performers are John Alden Finckel, a cellist who studied under Hans Kindler, and whose bow has the rounded, singing warmth of real artistry, and Mrs. Finckel, a very young planist, whose training was under the late Oliver Denton. Mrs. Finckel's musiclanship is assured, clever, and her fingers fly over the keyboard with amaz- ing flexibility. She was at her best in the Dohnanyi “Capriccio, Opus 28.” Her Chopin left something to be desired, for there was not the soft allurement in her tone mnor the poetic poise of the Chopin artist. At times her tone was too precise—not hard perhaps, but de- ! cisive and crystalline. ‘The Mendelssohn *Sonata” was given with nicely blended interpretation by | both musicians. A less familiar scnata by Jean Hure showed modern tendencies tastefully restrained so that the work found ready appreciation from a gener- | ally conservative audience. The short | Saint-Saens “Concerto in A Minor.” which closed the program, provided Mr. Finckel with opportunity that he was quick to fill with pleasant interpretation. —H.

EARLY VOTE SEEN ON PEACE TREATY Fight of Senate “Reserva. tionists” Coming to Head Today. By the Associated Press. With promises against a filibuster record, Senate leaders believe the battl for an interpretation of the Kell anti-war ‘treaty will come to & he shortly and a final vote will follow injs mediately. No doubt is held by friend or foa of the treaty but that it will be rsfl‘flg when the Senate votes. The only ques: tion is whether some construction s! be placed upon the treaty and in wha manner this shall be done. Proponents say po construction is necessary and that ndne can be voted. | = Chairman Borah of the foreign rela= | tions committee, in charge of the treaty, was ready today to renew his proposal for a limitation upon debate. His sug= gestion yesterday to limit debate after 3 p.n, today was defeated by the ob- jection of Senator Moses, Republican, New Hampshire, the author of the inters pretative resolution. Encouraged by the appeal of Senatot Reed, Democrat, of Missouri, for an in= terpretative declaration, the ‘“reserva= tionists” took heart yesterday. The vets eran Missourian held the attention of & crowded chamber and well filled gallery | as he delivered his threatened attack on | the “treaty of words” and concluded | that it amounted to a “trojan horse™ filled with a threat of domination over this country by the League of Nations. The direct appeal also of Senator Reed to Secretary Kellogg to remember that he “is not the watchman” of the country and to sanction some form of interpretative declaration on the pact, even if only in the form of a report by the foreign relations committee, is hoj by the group seeking an interpretation to have some effect. SAYS HUSBAND LEFT HER AFTER PULLING HAIR Mrs. Heap Alleges Other Cruel« ties Preceding Desertion and Asks Limited Divorce.
