FAIL O IDENTIFY GUNNESS SUSPECT Woman in Poison Plot Case Is Not Owner of Reputed Murder Farm, Friends Say. By the Associated Press. LOS ANGELES, May 5.—Friends of the missing Belle Gunness, proprietor of reputed murder farm at Laporte, Ind, have denied that Mrs. Esther Carlson, charged with poisoning August Lind- strom, retired lumberman, was the In- ¢iana woman. Acquaintances of Mrs. Gunness viewed Mrs. Carlton yesterday in a jail hospi- 4], where she Is seriously il with tuber- culosis. She 15 charged jointly with Mrs. Anna Erickson with the murder of Lindstrom. Mrs. Carlson was the lumberman’s housekeeper. It is alleged the slaying was planned in order to obtain Lind- strom'’s $2,000 bank account. Because of her critical illness Mrs. Carlson was granted a_separate trial from her co-defendant. Mrs. Erickson's trial began last week. Yesterday county chemists testified they found enough poison_in Lindstrom's body to kill 10 men. He died last February 9. VALOR TO BE PORTRAYED Lieut. Col.

Alleging that the frequent “jumping | of tracks” by street cars on the Kenil- worth line of the Washington Railway & Electric Co. constitute & menace to public safety, the Kemlwrth Citizens’ Association last night adopted a reso- lution recommending that steps be taken to repair the car tracks on Ken- ilworth avenue. The meeting of the usoclluon was held in the Kenilworth to | Schoot. 8. K. Mur})hy & member of the as- sociation, formed the members that the cause of the street cars leaving the | tracks might be attributed to the “Lnge‘uke"“cur\'es l‘.nu'.hz trackage. T:e condition is especially dangerous, said, in view of the !lct that the cars pass directly in front of the school, where children are often at play.

HARRIS WRECKING CO. THE EVENT REVISITS BATTLE Union Veteran Goes Back to| Where He Fought 68 Years Ago. Albert, ‘Milton Lathrop of 1321 Euclid street - first _saw the apple blossoms of the Shenandoah Valley. One of a regiment of Union soldiers, the 18th Connecticut Infantry, he ar- rived in Winchester during one of the periods when the Virginia town was held by the armies of the North. Sunday, for the first time since he left “the Valley,” 67 years ago, at the close of the Civil War, Mr. Lathrop re- turned to Winchester, one of a party of friends who motored there with Harlan Page Sanborn, an instructor at the Emerson Institute, to see the beauty of the blossoms, now famous through- out the country. But, A!Oholllh his companions en- joyed the colorful orchards spreading their glory over the Virginia country- side, Mr. Np did not see their beauty. Tm.lly Ahe venerable, gray-haired old soldier ‘was returning to the scene of his youthful campaigns to stand beside'a monument erected in the United States National Cemetery at ‘Winchester to his old regiment, the i8th Connecticut, where, though he might | not see it, he could lovingly pass his | hands over the names of fallen com- | ;l]fllll and the battles in which they had allen. | Received Great Satisfaction. “That was all I desired,” he explained simply. “It was one of the greatest satisfactions of my life to stand beside the monument, the unveiling of which in 1895 I was unable to attend.” As to the Shanandoah apple blos- soms, Mr. Lathrop says that 68 ye ago, although there were many trees and the blossoms were as beautiful as they are today, the great orchards exist- ing today, described to him by his m:nda. had never been heaxd or con- celved of. “Sixty-eight years ago” he said. “apple orel were no more a fea- ture of the Shenandoah Valley than they were of any other part of the country. “But there was much heavy timber in the Valley at that time, which I understand has disappeared to a great extent. At that time campaigning for both armies was made more difficult by the large forests of timber, making ob- servations very difficuit.” Although Mr. Lathrop traveled from his home in Connecticut to the Virginia Valley, where he spent two years in the Valley campaigns, he did not pass through Washington at that time, and his first glimpse of the Capital was in 1919, when he visited his daughter, Miss Edith A. Lathrop, associate specialist in school libraries of the Department of the Interior. Settled Large Nebraska Tract. At that time the Union veteran had not yet lost his eyesight and he en- joyed for two weeks visiting the his- toric places of Washington, which as a young soldier he had always wished to see. Not only has Mr. Lathrop an interest- ing Civil War history, but in 1872, as one of the pioneers of the Middle West, |-be opened and settled a large tract of land in Nebraska. “The buffalo were beginning to ave that part of the country then,” | he reminisced, “but scattered far and wide over the prairies one could see their skeletons and hides, which had been left there by the Indian hunters.” Four years ago, past his eighty-fifth year, Mr. Lat! had his left leg | crushed while working on his Nebraska farm and was obliged to have the limb | amputated. About the same time he | lost his eyesight, which had been fail- ing for several years. Cheerful and Entertaining. Despite his handicaps, he 15 cheerful and entertaining and gets more pleasure out of life than many a youngster of the present generation. “I take interest in all public, social, religious and scientific subjects,” he ex- plained, “and in all things which lead !o the progress of people. Although I cannot read, I enjoy my radio, particu- larly the speeches. It does not make any difference on what side the speaker may stand, I ke to hear all sides of the questio] I like to get facts and information. | _ Mr. Lathrop will be 90 years old in “July. and is strong and healthy, and ulea much pleasure in the companion- 3‘ of his two daughters, Miss Edith h rop and Mrs. Susan E. Myer, with whom he makes his home. In addi- tion to his daughters, Mr. Lathrop has one son, four grandchildren and two mll-mnflchudren Tardieu or Herriot May Succeed [ WEDS MARYLAND GIRL nutherlurd s Marriage to Maude Hughes Reported in New York.

She was obliged to walk several blocks in the pouring rain after leaving the car before she reached the dilapidated house bearing tne number for which she was looking. The face of a little girl 5 or 6 years old was Yruaed against a window pane, apparently watching for the arrival of the nurse. She ran to the door, and as “Come in, please! Dll‘yl lw(ul sick and mamma’s so worried.” Miss T—— was led through & cold, damp hall to a room in the rear of the house. A shabbily-dressed, kind-faced woman arose from the side of a bed in | which lay a girl of 12, her face flushed and spotted, her eyes unnaturally bright. A fire burned in a wood stove and the | room was hot and stuffy. | It was not long before the nurse had | learned another sad story of trouble and | poverty from the mother, Mrs. 8—. Nurse Reassures Mother, Her husband was dead. For three years she had been trying to support her family on a salary of $60 a month. Daisy, the sick girl, did most of the housework and the cooking for the fam- ily, while the mother started to work at 7 o'clock in the morning. Daisy's housework was done before and after school, and her iliness had brought the family daily program, as well as the mother's means of a livelthood, to| a standstill. Miss T—— reassured the mother, promising to speak to her employer. She then turned to the sick girl, whose rapid pulse and high temperature sig- nified her illness was serious. ‘The mother was advised to send for a city doctor, and pending his arrival the nurse busied herself making the patient more comfortable, opening the one window in the room for fresh afr, and prevailing upon the mother to keep the little sister in another room from y. Having done all that was possible at the time, she left, promising to return after the doctor’s visit. A communication with the medical man later diagnosed Dalsy's case as measles. Employer Saves Position. Miss T— got in touch with the) mother’s employer. It was pointed out that whereas measles did not neces- sitate quarantine for the entire family, it would be better for the child to hnvel her mother with her. The employer | kindly agreed to give the mother back her position after Dalsy recovered from A her illness. Then Miss T—— called the Associ- | ated Charities. Would they send food? The larder in the S—— home was as bare as Mother Hubbard's cupboard. After that Miss T——'s real work be- gan. Dalsy's attack was aggravated by her undernourished condition. The | mother was willing to help, but woe- fully ignorant of the first laws of hy- glene. Rellieved at the knowledge she would not lose her work, provided with daily meals by interested friends, she followed out the helpful instructions of the nurse.

Thanks to the instruction of her friend, the nurse, Daisy suffered none of the harmful after-effects of measles. Last week the little girl was weighed.

ROYLE. ‘The public stops, looks and listens when it comes to commercial aviation, but it still rides in only moderate num- bers. This condition, however, is rapid- ly changing and there no longer re- mains a doubt from the reports made by commercial aviation companies to the Department of Commerce that 1931 will be commercul aviation's best year 80 far. ‘The commercial ltnes carried 417,505 passengers 1 1030 and expect to ferry over 1,000,000 in the current 12 months. Aviation has passed through the inevi- table readjustment incident to new in- dustries. Wild hopes and imaginative profits have been discounted and the industry is prepared to proceed on a business basis. Stunt flying has been discouraged and freak planes no longer have a chance to endanger prospects. Guard Against Freaks. Bcientific research and laboratory and machine shop experiments never were more active, but the Department of Commerce has put into effect restric- tions on the aircraft to be used in com- mercial transportation with the express purpose of avoiding danger from freak | types of planes. Scientific developments are welcomed by the department and special licensing arrangements have been provided so that new designs may have a thorough tryout, but in gen- eral passengers must be carried in “conventional types.” | ‘The autogiro type of plane will be ‘thp one most particularly affected for the time being, but Gilbert C. Budwig, director of air regulation of the Bureau of Aeronautics, Department of Com- merce, explains that the restriction is not an absolute prohibition against the use of this type of plane for wry!.nl passengers. Pilots trained to operaf conventional types can operate llcenud autogiros, but those trained only to | handle the planes with lifting propellers particularly cannot fly other types. For a time, plane production far outpaced demand. This condition has mm i;fl-l!’:ldl. but the normal in- e eage of all types of | aircraft has Trnwn satisfactorily and this, it is felt by manufacturers, is assurance of future demand. The mile- age flown by all types of non-govern- | mental planes has increased from 149,- 579,451 miles in 1920 to 164,793,612 miles in 1930 in commercial service. ‘The private plane mlleue has added from 25,000,000 to 40,000,000 miles to that total. Rules Sirictly Enforced. Rules of the road, as applying to the air, are being strictly enroreed. ‘This was conclusively shown in the recent disciplining of one of the greatest fig- ures of commercial aviation and it is rnécrn:euduby thed industry ]flut with- out regulation and a properly equipped Federal airway system commercial op- erations would be impcssible. It has become apparent that passen- ger rates on commercial air lines are | not entirely the dominant factor which many aviation experts supposed. On a good number of routes, fares have been | reduced approximately to the level of railroad fares plus chair car or Pull- | man rates. This did not bring any ‘ startling increase in traffic, although it undoubtedly aided to some extent. | Time is still the essence of the aircraft \tnmporutmn business and after time ‘eomea comfort. This latter is largely & matter of skill and judgment on the ‘ part of the pilot and each transport ,mmm;; must work out that problem el The industry itself in a recent decla- ration to President Hoover admitted that commercial aviation still has a long way to go before it becomes a general utilized means of transport and that the time of its common accept- ance depends largely upon engineering and upon the educaticn of the public through demonstration.
