MAITLAND IS HURT IN CAR-BUS CRASH Army Pilot, Who Flew to Ha- waii, Was Divorced a Few Hours Before. BY the Assoclated Press. SAN ANTONIO, Tex., April 10.— First Lieut. Lester J. Maitland, who commanded the first airplane to fly from the Pacific Coast to Hawali, today was in an Army hospital here suffering from a crushed chest and cuts on the face, the result of an accident yesterday in which his automobile was struck by & bus. The accident occurred a few hours after his wife, Mrs. Ruth Thurston Maitland, was granted a divorce at Las Vegas, Nev. She charged nagging and other mental cruelties. The Maitlands have one child 5 years old. At the time of the accident Maitland ‘was driving near Kelly Field, where the aviator has been stationed since De- cember, 1929. He gained fame in 1927 when he flew to Hawaii in an Army plane, accom- panied by Licut. Albert Hegenberger Before the flight across the Pacific Ocean the aviator was stationed at McCook Field, Dayton, Ohlo. He is 32 years old.

EVANSTON, IIl, April 10.—Gene De Servi, the doggy dog catcher, is seri- ously considering returning to Daytona | Beach, Fla, where his talents are | appreciated. De Servi, who knows more dog- catching technique in a minute than most members of his profession learn in a lifetime, was due for reappoint- ment, but something went distinctly haywire. Several citizens, it was reported, had | written the mayor opposing De Servi's reappointment. The argument seemed to be not so much against De Servi as against the profession of dog catch- ing. There is a feeling here tha! Evanston dogs, somehow, are not the typ» to be caught and gut in a pound. Besides, De Servi is the kind of dog catcher who permits neither the power of great gold or high place to swerve him from his duty. The annual Spring dog-catching campaign b°gan today without any official dog catcher in charge. Instead. the 108 policeman were charged with the job. two ribs fractured and a slight con- cussion of the brain suffered, medical officers at Fort Sam Houston said to- | day Lieut. Maitland's condition was not_considered critical. . News of the divorce had been re- cefved by Maitland prior to the acel- dent. A message telling of his injuries was sent to the fiyer’s mother at Burlin- game, Calif. FORTHE THE BLACK SEA MENACE OF SOVIET REPORTED British Discussing With Rumanian Government Plan for Develop- ing Naval Base. By Radio to The Star and Chicago Dafly News. Copyright, 1930. VIENNA, AUSTRIA, April 10 —Ob- | viously inspired reports from the Black | Sea tend to raise the specter of a Soviet menace. One rumor reports a peasant upris- ing in the Ukraine, with the Red Army at Tiraspol helping the Atheists block the way of Christians going lo church, with resultant fighting before the portals of th~ cathcdral. Another report is that the British Admiral Hen- derson arrived in Bucharest and is di:- cussing with the Rumanian government nlans for developng a naval base in the Rlack Sea to counterbalance the arri val of two Soviet battleships which rr- cently passed through the Dardanelles. There is undoubtedly unrest among the Russian peasan's, but it would b an exaggeration to say that the Soviels are menacing Rumania or Poland. Alsc th- Soviet naval force in the Black Ses 1s mediocre, although the passing ol two warships through the Dardanelles seems to be confirmed. The Russian Black Sen sh'ps could not control the Black Sea. There is no infention gn the part of Rumania to provoke a coflict with the Sovicts, and the only changes the Ru- manians have made in the national de- fense was to increase the gendarmerie along the frontier. Rumanians shake their heads when asked about the fu- EASTER PROMENADE |ders and lawlessness.

CHICAGO’S VIRTUES PRAISED BY DAWES Gangsters Are Hornets on the Lion’s Flank, Ambassador Says Over Radio. By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, April 10. — Ambassador Charles G. Dawes, speaking from Lon- don over a radio-telephone hook-up, told 2,000 Chicago business men last night that -gangsters are “but hornets on the flank of a lion” and that the advance of Chicago is “irresistible and imperial.” ‘The banquet at which Ambassador Dawes spoke by remote control was part of a campaigp to stress Chicago's civic virtues rather than its gang mur- Mr. Dawes said the city “needs no defense.
