Schutrick of Springtown, Ul- ster. county, were drowned iIn the Hudson river at Highland last night when their closed car plunged from a pier while they were walting for a ferryboat. Willam 8 R. Davison of 934 East Twenty-seventh street, New York city, broke the windows of the machine and swam to shore, dragging after ‘him two young women, who re- fused to give their names. Eugéne Meyer of 729 KEast ' Twenty-fourth street, New York, the: fifth occupant of the machine, was rescued by a dock policeman, The accident occurred while the Schutricks and their party, together awith several other automobilists, were waliting for a ferryboat to take them across the river. Mr. Schutrick had parked his car near the edge of the pler, and would have been the first in line if the ferryboat had begun nosing into the glip It was some time before the boat was to come, ‘however, and Schutrick and his party evidently decided to take a ride. Throws Car Into Reverse. Apparently Schutrick threw his car into reverse when he attempted to start it. - Other persons on the pler, none of them near the machine, heard the cries of the occupants as the car backed slowly off the dock into the river, and they were able to 'see it for a moment as it hung over the edge of the planking, with Schutrick strug- gling desperately with the levers and with the other’ men trying to open the doors. Presently there 'was a splash, and before any one could reach the edge of the pier the machine was in the water For spme moments the machine geemed to be balanced on the end of the pler, but not long "enough for Messre. Schutrick, Davidson and Mey- er to open the doors and let the three women ‘get into the water. Then the persons who had rushed to the edge of the pier to see what had happened saw the car slowly tilt and begin to go down hood first, the weight of the engine causing it to sink rapidly once it got started. Davison and Meyer seem to have been able to smash the glass of the windows just as the car started toward the bottom of the river, because as the machine slid below the surface the watchers on the “dock heard the crashing.of broken glass. A few min- utes later” Mrs.“ Schutrick's head ap- peared above the water. She struggled and screamed for help, but sank and was ' drowned, before any one could get to her, or even .so much as throw a rope to her.. Her husband appears to have been trapped inside the ma- chine behind the steering wheel. Watching for Victims. By this time dock policemen had been summoned, and seéveral were on ‘the pler throwing off their clothing, ready to swing to the help of any one whose head might appear above the surface. For what seemed a long time no_one appeared, and there w no movements above the spot at which 1 RAW, SORE THROAT Eases Quickly When You Apply a Little Musterole And Musterole won’t blister like the old-fashioned mustard plaster.

Behind him ecame two dark objects, but it was not until he had almost reached the dock that those on the shore saw that he was rescuing the two girle.

The completed budget will be delivered to President Harding within two weeks. The totals are still uncertain and are constantly being altered, twenty changes having been made today The department of justice prob- ably will have to run on lees than Attorney Genera! Daugherty placed as his conservative requirements. This may cause some pinching. The department of commerce has tared more favorably, Its tentative estimate s an increase of approxi- mately 5 per cent over the appro- priation for this year, which was 218,783,337, The biggest increase, 35 per cent goes to the bureau of for- etgn and domestic commerce, show- ing that the budget bureau indorses the plan of Secrétary Hoover for in- creasing the work of promoting for- eign trade. It would give this bur- eau an increase of $575.325 over its current appropriation of $1,627,876 An increase for the bureau of stand- ards was approved, but the census bureau may have to operate on a lower sum than its present allowance. Increases over the current year have been allowed some other de- partments; but budget officials decline to name them in advance of the for- mal transmittal of the budget to con- gress. -Neither will they . give . out where the compensating = decreases will be made. i PILOTLESS PLANE FLIES 90 MILES Automatic Control Seems Better Than Human Aviator Washington, Nov. 15.—The pilot- less airplane, equipped with an auto- matic control device said to be more accurate and dependable than any human pilot, has been developed to a point where it has made successful flights of more than 90 miles, it was announced yesterday by the Army Air Service. The announcement stated the re- gults produced after a long series of | experience constituted the most im- | portant post-war development of the | many novel ideas of new engines of | war. Experiments had shown it to be possible to' "shoot” bomb-laden | planes, without pilots, at targets on | or off the grounds with astounding aceuracy. | “In actual work with these auto- matic pilots,” the announcement sald, “hundreds of automatic take-offs and a number of automatic fiights of 90 { miles .and more have been made. | This ‘pilot’ is capable of being mount- {ed in any type airplane, and in bumpy wemther will hold a plane much steadier than a human pilot and will carry it on. an absolutely true course, regardless of fog or ad- verse weather' conditions.” In the long series of tests just end- ed the machine used was one of the egmall types having a span of only 20 feet, a 60 horsepower motor, capa- ble of carrying a useful load of 250 pounds and equipped with an auto- matic pillot which takes it off the ground, levels off at any predeter- mined height and will rise to un- usual heights. Except for natural deviations of flight, due to unfavor- able air currents, the control ma- chinery holde fast to its course for the limit of its gas supply, which, in the equipment of the experimental atrcraft, makes possible a sustained flight of two and ‘a half hours. “Qf the automatic pllots being ex- perimented with by the Army Alr Service,” the statement continued, “that which has proved most euc- cessful to date can be described as using a gyroscope for its brains and bellows or pneumatics, similar to; those used in player planos, for its muscles. The ability of a balanced, rotating mass, moving on frictionless bearings, to maintain’ its position in space, 8o long as it is not acted upon by outside forces, is called a gyro- scopic force.” Air Service officlals characterized the invention as “the dream of en- bureau finally NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, WEDNESDAY gineers and inventors the world over ever since the solution of heavier- than-air filght." It was said the invention would lead to new methods of bombing, one officlal asserting it would be entirely practical to load a plane with ex- plosives that would discharge on contact with any target on land or water with great destructive effort. Other military usages, it waX pre. dicted, would be discovered as the experiments continued NO LAW T FORCE Connecticut Statutes Ignore It But School Board Recommends It School teachers in New Britain are not required to read the Bible in schools, nor does the law require the Bible to be read in any school in Con- necticut, according to school officlals following the recent raising of the guestion from several sources in the city. While there i8'mo law to compel the reading of the Bible in New Brit- ain schools it is read in the majority of cases, although left entirely to the option of the teacher or principal In the High school the Bible is read at assembly and in some of the other rooms it {s read. In the Junior High schools the Bible or extracts are read from it during assemblies and by many of the teachers during the open- ing exercises in the class rooms. Avoid Offending The New Britain schools are go cos- mopolitan and so inter-denominational that there are many sections of the Bible to which different religious sects take exception and for this rea- son the reading of the Bible is a deli- cate matter. Most principals, and it is understood the school committee, take the stand that there can be no objection to the reading of the Bible if it is not com- mented upon, At the Senior High school, especial- ly is great care taken not to offend any one's religious convictions, Ex- tracts are selected from the books which are most readily accepted by ful new surroundings. ture.

New York, Nov. 15.—When the artists, writers and editors who form the membership of the Dutch Treat club met at noon yesterday for their regular weekly luncheon and were ex- changing jokes and friendly banter, somé of them missed their fellow member, Arthur Crawford, writer and tormer actor.
