With a terrific crash her light low-wing monoplane plowed into a hill four miles north of the field. Her broken body was fod in the wreckage. Parts of the Plane were strewn for several hun- dréd feet. Cause Not Apparent Witnesses said they saw her plane flying close to the ground and a few | seconds later heard a crash. The cause of the crash was not apparent after the initial survey of the wreckage, but an explosion of gaso- line was suspected by investigators.

M. Hanson, night super- visor in the local telephone ex- change, and Police Officer Thomas Lee, today are sharing honors in preventing what might have been a serious fire which was at first dis- covered by Officer Lee at 1:09 this morning, but which made Mrs. Han- son suspicious at 1:05, or four min- utes earlier. The fire was in the Packard Block, corner of Arch and Walnut streets, at exactly the same | point, beneath the Packard drug store, as was the fire on April 30, which was also discovered by Officer Lee. Mrs. Hanson saw the lights of the pharmacy wires flickering on ‘the switchboard, and after trying to_get a reply called the police station and made a report on the situation. Lieutenant W. P. McCue detailed Sergeant Edward M. Kiely to inves- tigate, and. just as Sergeant Kiely reached Walnut street, Officer Lee dashed out and pulled Box 7, Main and Arch street. Officer Lee had gone into the lunch cart on Chestnut street to get his 1 o’clock meal and was walking toward Main street when he saw smoke emerge from a window gn the Walnut street side of the build- ing. He ran back and sounded the alarm. The, firemen found a smoky fire raging in the cellar of the drug store. Store owners sindy the April fire, had not left any acids or chém- icals in the basement, so that there was no fear of an explosion chemicals. The firemen were forced to don smoke masks. They could not see flames, but they could hear them back of partitions. The smoke was 50 “eavy that beams from the stor- age battery lamps carrfed by the firemen did not penetrate more than three or four feet until opened win- dows and doors had carried off much of the smudge. 4 The fire was confined to the base- ment of the drug store, which:was gutted. Smoke and water did consid- erable damage to the stock and also to stock in the Herman Gerber jew- alry store, next door on Arch strget. f’ire department officials estimated the damage at $2,500. Smoke filled the other stores in the building, and the ‘\loc\‘v school rooms on the second floor. The other ores in the building are: Otto ahl's delicatessen, Corp., A. T.
