LIGHTNING FIRES BIG OIL WAREHOUSE Spectacular Blaze Sweeps Gulf Pro- duction Company Tank Farm at Humble. Houston, Tex., Nov, 13.—More than one million barrels of oil was doomed early last night, and indications were that a similar amount probably would be consumed, in a spectacular fire sweeping the Gulf Production com- pany tank farm at Humble., Light- ning caused the blaze. Three enormous underground res- ervoirs, said to have a capacity of 400,000 barrels each, caught fire, and the boiling oll spread rapidly towarad three other nearby pits. The whole farm consists of 20 tanks, all of which may be lost. The blaze could, be seen for miles. The farm is situated on a prairie and fears are entertatned that ofl will spread beyond immediate prop- erty. The site 1s three miles from Humble, however, and will not men- ace the town, ‘While the oil belongs technically to the Gulf Production company the earthen storage belongs to the Guif Pipe Line company, a subsidiary. Workers were handicapped in fight- ing the blaze both bécause of the heat and the condition of the field. Rains have almost flooded the section and fire fighting apparatus could not be moved in quickly. * Efforts were being made to keep the blaze back by the use of steam.

The Impact cracked the gasoline tank, and before men who had began to rush to- ward the spot as soon as the wing tip brushed the tree top could reach the plane it was wrapped in flames. Blaney's body was partly consumed before it could be dragged from the wreck. Struck Air-Pocket It 1s belleved that as he reached the level of the tree-tops he slid into an air-pocket caused by cross-currents which caused his wing to drop just enough to foul the branches. Blaney’s airplane was equipped with a Liberty motor and was capable of great speed. He was traveling fast, probably 1156 miles an hour, at the low altitude usual to a relay race, and close observers says he was watching almost entirely out of the right side of the cockpit. Apparently he saw and easily cleared a tree on his right side but failed to notice a taller tree on the left, his uttention being concentrated on the relay race. ¥ His flylng partner, Lieutenant Val- entine, was waiting to take off and fin- ish the race as soon as the wheels of Blaney's plane touched the ground. The race was never finished, for Val- entine cut off his motor and ran to aid Blaney. Although the pilot’s body was burned beyond recognition, it was said here last night that Blaney's death was instantaneous as a result of the terrific crash when the speeding plane was brought up short by the tree and turned over on the ground. Blaney leaves a wife, a native of California, who is now at Mitchel Field. The body will probably be buried at the Nation- al cemetery at Arlington. Victim Was Texan Blaney was thirty years old. His home was in Texas. He had been a pllot for five years and until recently was stationed in the Philippines. He was one of the most popular pilots at the meet and was the winner of a bombing contest which took place Saturday. Major Junius Jones, of Mitchel Field, is conducting an inquiry to de- termine the cause of the accident. Forty other pilots at the meet con- tinued to engage in contests and take up passengers for three hours after the accident. Word of Lieutenant Blaney's death brought gloom to Mitchel Field yes- terday afterncon. His bride of ten months was almost prostrated with grief, and Major Weaver, the com- mandant, was visibly affected when he opened the telegram reporting the young aviator’s death. Many officers at the post had served overzeas or in the Philippines with the dead lieuten- ant, Considered Expert Flyer Lieutenant Blaney was among the first to enroll for the aviation training camps after this country entered the war. He received his commission in 1917. Since then he has served both in the Philippines and in Germany. He was placed in charge of the b6th Observation Squadron when he was transferred to Mitchel Field last March and was generally considered one of the best flyers at the post. Of- ficers there expressed themselves yes- terday as unable to understand the ac- cident in which he was killed. Another Flier Hurt Washington, Nov. 18.—Lieutenant Commander Godfrey D. Chevalier, first naval aviator to make a landing on the airplane carrier Langley about three weeks ago and one of the senior filers of the naval air service, crashed at Rock Haven. Va., near Norfolk, early yesterday and was seriously in« jured. Reports to the Bureau of Aeronauties said he was not expected to live. Commander Chevalier figured prominently in the work of navy air- men abroad during the war. Thousands Sce Plane Wrecked New York, Nov. 13.—Thousands of persons who had flocked to Battery Park to pass their Sunday afternoon were idly watching the cavortings of a hydroplane flying a few hundred feet out over the bay at an altitude of about 250 feet yesterday afternoon when they were horrified to see it go into a tailspin and, striking.the water nose foremost, disappear momentarily from sight. Two persons were seen to be aboard frantically stflggllng to loose their safety belts. While the crowd ran to the sea wall to use all available telescopes and glasses, motor boats and craft of all description sped toward the crippled plane. Coxswain Thomas Robinson of the United States revenue cutter Man- hattan, was out in a small sailboat with two other seamen and arrived there first by cutting the sails of the boat and usthg oars. Soon afterward came the Saegatta, an eighty-foot mo- tor boat belonging to the Todd Ship- building company. Robinson succeed- ed in rescuing the fliers and put them aboard the Saegatta in a stunned and brulsed condition. They gave their names as Arthur Randal, pilot, twen- ty six years old of 821 West End Ave- nue and Theodore Bridgman, forty six of the Apthorp Apartments, 2211 Broadway. Both men were taken to the Broad RONCHITIS H bedtime rub the it guage; it is the first complete analysis so far published in America.” THE PRINT OF ‘MY REMEM- . g THE PRIVATE CHARACTER OF L ; i i NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, MONDAY, Htreet Hospital, where they were at. tended by Dr, Philvin, As their in- Juries were found to be only minor ones, lacerations of the face, and shock caused by submersion they were soon able to return home, Neither one would discuss the accldent of its causes, but, aé¢cording to witnesses the plane, after looping a bit, had been speeding up the river when the motor failed, and, devold of motive power the craft had fallen into a tallspin at an altitude too low for recovery, River craft swarmed about the hull of the plane, All the police boats in the arbor were rushed to the spot, Thetugboat Chancellor, belonging to the Merritt Chapman Wrecking Com- pany, and commanded by Captain Go- briel Anderson, salvaged all that was left from the wrock—the fuselage and engine,’ Vallant attempts to lasso the wings proved useless, as they snapped from the body and sank. The skeleton was hauled aboard the Chancellor and taken up the North River. The value of the plane, which was said to be operated by Bridgeman as a pleasure craft, was placed by .the police at $25,000. Mr, Bridgeman kept it in a hangar at Fort Hamilton, On the Jersey side of the river his auto was awaiting his return from the trip down the bay, Instead the car was hurried to the Broad street Hos- pital and brought him back to his apgrtment. vestigation showed that there is no 821 West End Avenue, which was the address given by Randal, Mr. Bridgeman refused to disclose the cor- rect address. ‘New Books at the Institute COMING OF THE FAIRIES by A.

Orford, N. H., Nov. 13.—The bodies of John and Charles Davis, brothers, living together in a small house on ' the outskirts of this town, were found with the heads smashed by blows from an axe, when a third" brother, Prescott Davis of Harwich, Vt, and his wife arrived for a short visit early last night. Mr. and Mrs. Prescott Davis reached the house about § o'clock and, finding the door locked, gained entrance by use of a key which the brother had previously furnished them. In the dusk they stumbled on the body of Charles, lying in the kitchen near a wood box. They im- mediately reported their discovery to Deputy Sheriff Walter H. French, who with two selectmen started an investigation. The officials found the body of John Davis in the woodshed. The axe with which the heads of the brothers had been crushed was found in the woodshed near John's body. The officials reported to Sheriff Claud Murray of Canaan and County Solicitor John Noonan of Enfield, who arrived today to take charge of the investigation. The brothers, who were employed as woodsmen, were known to have gone to Bradford, Vt, on Tuesday last. Since that time they had not been seen by neighbors. John Davis was a veteran of the Civil War, According to the authorities and the third brother, both men were ac- customed to carry considerable sums of money in their clothing. They also were said to trade to some extent in watches and guns. No trace of several watches believed to have been kept in the house, was found yes terday. The investigators discovered parts of a broken lamp chimney near the body of Charles, the lamp being found in the woodshed. The only door through which access to the =~ house could be gained was locked on he outside with a padiock when Mr. and Mrs. Prescott Davis arrived, the latter said.
