» PEPPERSASS' CRASH " BRINGS HARDSHIP Hundreds Spend Many Hours in Cold on Peak, Marooned | by Engine’s Wild Run. By the Associated Press. MOUNT WASHINGTON, N. H,, July 22.—Stories of hardship and heroism were recounted today as several hundred persons, including governors of seven | States, who assembled here Saturday to witness the final run of “Old Peppersass” up the mountain, scattered to their homes, sobered by the tragedy which claimed the life of a photog- rapher and brought destruction to the celebrated locomotive. Daniel P. Rossiter, Arlington, Mass., who was hurled off the engine as it gped down the steep cog railway after a triumphant trip to the summit, was killed. The injured included Edward C. Frost, who was at the throttle when “Old Peppersass” first climbed the mountain back in 1869 and who was operating it for the last time; his 16- year-old son, Caleb; Winston H. Pote, Swampscott, Mass., photographer, and ‘W. I. Newsham, Concord, fireman. They all leaped from the locomotive as it careened dizzily down the steep trestle known as Jacob's ladder after something had gone wrong. The locomotive toppled from the rails and into the ravine, where it was blown into bits when the boiler exploded. Many of thosé who had assembled as guests of the State of New Hampshire and the Boston & Maine Railroad to ses “Old Peppersass” rededicated and make its final run after having served as a museum piece since 1893, were marooned for hours in the bitter cold on the peak. They were forced to stay on the mountain because the ill-fated locomotive, in crashing over the trestle, had torn up so many ties that speedy repairs with the equipment at hand was impossible. A number, including many woman guests, elected to hike down the moun- tainside, and it was five hours before some of them reached hotels at the base after their boulder and brush | strewn journey. N\ State governors present were: Tobey, | New Hampshire; Conley, West Virginia; Weeks, Vermont; Hammill Towa; Christianson, Minnesota; Caulfield, Mis- souri, and Dern of Utah. PUNISHMENT.OF SLAYERS OF PRISONERS DEMANDED By the Associated Press. LA PAZ, Bolivia, July 22.—A note protesting against the assassination last December of two Bolivian prisoners by the Paraguayan soldiers has been dis- ! patched to Brig. Gen. McCoy, chairman of the Paraguayan-Bolivian Conciliation Commission, in Washington, for trans- mission to the Paraguayan government. The communication, signed by Min- ister of Relations Ello, and published here, declares the men were killed in the vicinity of Fort Ingallon on December 5, 1928. It charges one of the prisoners, Pvt. Ignacio Vargas, was shot dead by a mounted Paraguayan corporal named Quevia Jaba, because Vargas had been resting. The note says the slaying was witnessed by a second lieutenant of the Paraguayan army, in charge of the prisoners. The Bolivian press genounces the al- Jeged killings and demands the Amer- ican Government exact from Paraguay full responsibility and punishment of the slayers. STEELE IS U.NDER KNIFE. Georgia Representative Is Operated On at Garfield Hospital. Representative Steele of Georgia was operated on today at Garfield Memo- rial Hospital for gallstones. Physicians said as they finished the operation that the condition of the patient was good. Mr. Steele has been in {ll health for about a month and went to the hos- pital a week ago for treatment pre- liminary to the operation. He repre- sents the fifth district in Georgia and was re-elected in November, 1928, to the Seventy-first Congress. TUNNEY SUIT IS FILED. ! Coples of $500,000 Alienation Suit Left With Caretaker.

The thing that thrills me most now is that after years of scheming, plan- ning and studying and months of heartbreaking delay while the ship was being built and tested, the City of Ta- coma is on the starting line ready for a final grooming today before the long dash through the possible storms of a day, & night and part of another day it must remain in the skies between Tacoma and Tokio. oy, The take-off, that moment when ‘the whole flight will either make or break,” still lies ahead of me, but the bitter disappointment and heartaches experienced before the ship could be bought, and then before it could be prepared for this flight, make this take-off seem comparatively easy, and the 40 or so hours I must stay awake %;r ué; ocean nloll;e seem only a trifle r the many hours g - ting ready. y T Still, I will take along some chicory tablets to ward off drowsiness during the flight.

FORGES WAGE WAR ON FLORIDA PES Fruit Fly Conflict Widens as Scientists Battle Dread- ed Foe. This s the second of a series of three articles written for The Star and asso- ciated papers of the North American Newspaper Alliance describing conditions in Florids, where the Mediterranean fruit fly has done untold damage, BY JOHN STEVEN McGROARTY. The story of the war waged against the Mediterranean fruit fly in Florida furnishes plenty of thrills. ‘The struggle has been, and is, to drive out a dreaded enemy. Therefore, it is war just as truly as war ever was between contending armies and navies of men, only that the fight against the fly calls forth a conflict really more titanic. That was the thought in the minds of the people when, from the .North, at the dawn of an April day, great motor trucks loaded with sprayers snd the impedimenta of the fighting en- tomologists came thundering into peace- ful lake-gemmed city of Orlando. Nobody was expecting the blow. A few weeks previous, the growers were | counting their happy gains. The citrus and vegetable crops and all crops had been bounteous and had brought good returns from distant markets. As an instance of it, the writer visited an orange grove from which 87,000 boxes of fruit had been shipped at a net profit. of $1 a box to the grower. Things were going along merrily, just like that, all over Florida. And then came the fiy. A delegation of nurserymen had stopped overnight in Orlando on their | way to a trade convention in Gaines- ville. An Orlando grower presented them with some very choice grapefruit to take with them. Larvae Shipped by Air Mall, A morning or two afterward when the fruit was served in Gainesville the delegation noticed the presence of numerous small maggots. It alarmed them, and they immediately reported to the State plant commissioner. The larvae were placed under observation. Soon small flies emerged from the pupae. The flies were sealed in alcohol and shipped by air mail to the Bureau of Entomology of the United States Department of Agriculture at Wash- in, . The insects were immediately indentified as the dreadéd Mediter- ranean fruit fly, and the dire news was wired back to Florida. ‘The appearance of enemy ships of war in the harbors and the beat of drums of marching armies upon her sunlit plains would not have filled Filorida with greater consternation. ‘There is within the political edifice of Florida a highly important and very efficient organized commission officially designated as the State Plant Board. ‘The plant commissioner, who has for several years past directed the activi- ties of the board, is Dr. Wilmon Newell, & man of wide experience and a trained scientific mind. Especially is he noted as an entomologist. Fortunately, Dr. Newell and his plant board were in full function when the crisis arose and it seems to have been wise action on the part of the Federal Department of Agriculture to take this organization over in toto as a first step. Quarantine Set. On April 22 of the present year the Federal Horticultural Board met in Washington to consider the situation. At that meeting a quarantine of Florida was decided upon and C. L. Marlatt, chief of the quarantine service, assumed charge. He took over Dr. Newell and the Florida Plant Commission. ‘The Department of Agriculture se- cured the consent of Congress to make a transfer from the pink boll weevil worm extermination fund an unex- pended balance of 84,250,000, which sum was made available for the cam- paign against the fly. The $50,000 which the State was able to appropriate was added to this fund, making up at least temporarily sufficient war chest. Dr. Newell and his plant commis- sion, working under orders from the United States Department of Agricul- ture, went promptly to the firing line. doned for a new structure, was put the service of the authorities as a he: An army of 5,000 men was being com- manded from this headquarters. ‘To its fixed force ‘the plant board larvae, from larvae to pupae and from pupae to the full-grown adult. Every trick the fly has in his bag is being card-indexed. In the Orlando laboratory I watched with fascinated interest the activities of these sclentific experts. Nothing could be more absorbing to the mind than the work they are doing. Chem. ists are studying methods of baiting, toiling day and night to evolve a new spray that they hope will prove to be the fly's doom and yet prove harmless to_trees or fruits. If the chemist can concoct a spray that will “gun” the Mediterranean fruit fly in Florida perhaps the day of that insect is done, not only there, but everywhere the world over. Florida People Co-operated. Next to the work of the experts must be reckoned the whole-hearted. patriotic and unselfish co-operation of the people of Florida—the leaders and the rank and file of its citizenry. ‘When the war board in the old court- house at Orlando got into action it became evident at once that without the co-operation of owners of orchards, groves, farms and the owners of homes having backyards where trees, shrub- bery and vegetables grew, the fight was hopeless. The board was able by authority of law to impose fines and penalties for disobedience to its orders, even to im- prison offenders, but no law can govern the lawless man, or the stubborn man or the ignorant man. Accordingly, there was formed what is known as “the Florida Citizens’ Association,” with Col. R. M. Shearer of Orlando, a retired Army officer, as its president. The organization is State-wide and has now thousands of members. Its object is “to ald and assist the State and Federal authori- ties in every way possible in the cam- paign for the eradication of the Medi- terranean fruit fly.” This organization has done and con- tinues to do heroic services.. It has pushed forward the ‘“clean-culture” movement with great vigor, furnishing hundreds of volunteer workers who serve without pay. Most Fruits Under Ban. The necéssity of complete co-opera- tion on all sides was made plain by Dr. Newell in a public statement in which he said: . “Not & guava, not a peach, not a mulberry, nor a surinam cherry, not any one of all the known host fruits and vegttables must be left within the reach of the fly this Summer if we are to obtain a maximum result from thfi eradication efforts during this period.’ Newell says it is impossible for peo- ple outside of Florida to realize the immensity of the task on hand. He might_ well have added that even the people of Florida themselves — those not directly engaged in the business of growing fruits and vegetables—do not realize it. But there is hope and good grounds for optimism, nevertheless. “As between those who, refusing to face the facts,” says Newell, “contend there is nothing to fear from the fly and those, on the other hand, who be- lieve there is no hope of eradicating the fly, and that our fruit and vege- table industries must be abandoned, there must be a sane middle ground. “The fly is an actuality, the Federal quarantine against Florida products is a reality. An Early Start, “It is also true that in places out- side the Continental United States this same fly has resisted all eradication efforts and has overrun districts to the extinction of producing industries. Yet we have the benefit of a relatively early start against it in. Florida. We are able to oppose it here with men and measures such as have not opposed it in_other places.” While I was in Orlando an inspector was sent out to fill an order for 2,000 pupae. He returned in an hour with 2,100 that he unearthied from one single tree. Then another inspector was sent to the same tree to learn if the other man had made a complete clean-up. The second man secured & score more in less than a half hour. Would you not say that whoever has the Mediterranean fruit fly to combat has a real fight on his hands? But, even 50, this is the United States and not Hawall, not Asiastic Turkey, not South Africa, nor yet France. Here and there there has been talk of “control.” The Mediterranean fruit fly can’t be com with. It must be annihilated. A Vast Menace. To realize what widespread havoc would follow in its wake one need but to survey with the mind's eye the tremen- dous extent of fruit areas in the States, the Central South and the States of the Pacific Coast. Any one interested made additions from the experiment | all that station and extension service, com- mandeering also by telegraph and tele- phone veterans of a former war that was waged—and waged successfully against the citrus canker. Forces Mobilized. A dozen or more of the foremost ex- 3 ‘Take Florida alone, which is the sec- tion in which, at the present time, we can face facts. It is not genérally known how exten- sive the fruit and vegetable indusf Florida is. I had the impression covered. However, on the day I left the State infestation was uncovered near Tampa in a grove that had failed to_clean up. In my journeyings I saw everywhere the army of 5,000 fighters on the bat- tle lines. I saw airplanes in which flew trained observers, whose business it was to make maps from the sky of groves and vegetable flelds, and to lo- cate the presence of wild host-plants in_proximity to groves. From the territory covered 24,000,000 boxes of citrus fruits and 36,300 car- loads of vegetables were marketed this year. If the fly holds his ground these figures will be reduced to one lone cipher the coming year. The same heroic treatment of the situation must prevail that was put into force in California when the hoof- and-mouth disease appeared. It seemed brutal to slaughter dairy herds, cattle and even wild deer, as was done. But there was no other way, and the re- sult was that for the first time in the history of any country, the hoof-and- mouth disease was stamped out. Where- ever else it has appeared it is still prevalent. Outside Funds Needed. ‘The Federal Government and Califor- nia each assumed half the compensa- tion costs and reimbursed the owners of the slaughtered cattle. In the same way, and upon the same theory, the growers in Florida must be compensat- ed. What California did to prevent the spread over the whole country of the hoof-and-mouth disease, Florida is doing to prevent the spread of the ravishes of the Mediterranean fruit fly. Only in this instance the State i3 not financially able to compensate the growers. _Consequently relief must come from the Federal Government, since the threat is against the entire Nation. At least the Federal Government should relieve the Florida growers to the extent of tiding them over until the fly is eradicated and the ves and anrdens are again available for produc- jon. ‘The appropriation of $10,000,000 now asked is modest enough. There should not only be no hesitation in granting it, but additional sums should be forth- coming, if necessary. It is the business of the Government to lend its helping hand to aid its people in times of economic disaster. (Copyright, 1920. by North American News- paper Alliance.)

BERLIN RULING STOPS AMERICAN SOUND FILMS eral Theaters Closed When In- Junction Forbids Use of Re- producing Apparatus. By the Associated Press. BERLIN, July 22.—American sound films disappeared from German motion picture theaters today, probably for one to two years, in consequence of a court decisicn granting a permanent injunc- tion against the use of Western Electric reproducing apparatus and favoring the so-called United European Front Tone combine. The Americans took prompt action after the court’s decision Saturday by sending mechanics to cut off Western Electric.a) atus in all theaters where it was being used, thus forcing the re- turn of box office money for the crowded week end performances.. Several well-known pictures are clos- ing down. The American interests sald that they could not permit the use of their machinery a moment after the ‘court decision, since violation of an in- junction is & criminal offense in Germany.

The low-wing plane lifts quick- er than a high-wing, as it has a better cushion of air, being nearer the ground; but, once a few feet in the air, the ship will gain altitude very slowly. As it will be traveling over 160 miles an hour, a crash into a big tree would spell finis for the flight and probably for me. In Peril on Load Test. ‘The City of Tacoma can never be in greater peril than it was during our load tests at Muroc dry lake bed in California, just after it was completed in the factory at Burbank. I had completed the load tests and found that it took about 3 miles to reach a safe altitude. Then I opened the dump valves, supposed to empty the tanks in a few seconds. The gas came streaming back all over me, in my face, eyes, nose and mouth, almost strangling me. It was nothing more nor less than blind flying instinct, with several dashes of good luck,-that en- abled me to bring that plane safely to the ground. It took little better than two min- utes to empty the tanks after the dump valves were opened, and the air pres- sure forced gasoline- all through the wings. It was the longest two minutes I ever spent in my life—fighting to see, fight- ing to breathe, fighting to land the ship as gently as possible, in order to avold sparks that might fly, due to & heavy jar on the steel landing gear. With everything on the ship drenched with gasoline, my Tokio fiight was cer- tainly on the verge of a flaming finish, with me in the middle of the bonfire, New Dump Valves on Plane Now. We landed all right or I wouldn’t be writing this. But it was three days before I got all the gasoline out of my system. There are newer and better dump valves on the plane now, however. After those test flights were com- pleted, I made the non-stop hop from Los Angeles to Tacoma, 1,032 miles, in about eight hours. This is an average of about 130 miles an hour. But I spent a lot of time getting altitude—Alying 14,000 feet high at one time—and never had the motor up to more than 1,700 revolutions a minute, although it is capable of 2,100. In addition to a non-capsizable rub- ber lifeboat and a device which will condense my breath into pure drinking water, I will carry flares to guide ships to me in case of a forced landing. The ship is made entirely of wood and, ex- cept in case of a nose-dive smashup, would float for a long time. ‘The radio outfit will be operated by dry batteries instead of by a generator, which would quit working if the motor failed. This will enable me to broadcast my position at all times. The Weems- Bubble sextant will tell me my latitude and longitude at all times, and the ‘Weems-Schenk turn, bank and rate of climb indicator will keep me flying level. These two instruments are the ones I spoke of earlier which are expected to revolutionize “blind flying” at night. ‘Made by Former “Foe.’ Incidentally, the turn and bank indi- cator is the invention of a former foe | of mine, Dr. Carl Schenk—not a per- |sonal foe, but Dr. Schenk was in charge of the Kalser's gyroscopes and com- passes in submarines and Zeppelins during the World War while I was | slopping around in the mud of no man's land with the Canadian Infantry.
