AVIATOR SWOOPS TO
DEATH ON ROCKS,

| Fan Sebastian. Spain. April Ar
other French aviator has met death
while making flight In an aeroplsns.
Hubert LebIon. who. prior to his tax
ing up seropIsning was noted auto
mobilisi, was killed while making an
exhibition flight here yesterday.
He wrs circiing tho royal palace of
hirsmar at . height OF 40 feet when
his motor broke. He attempted to
glide back TO the shed. but the ma
chine turned and swoopcd with terrific
force against the rocks. The aviator
was crushed.
hme. Leblon witnessed tho accident /
and when the body WAS recovered from
HE sen, she rushed shrieking towards
Ihr ambulance 10 which II was being
'arried. She threw herself upon the
ifelcss form, kissing II repeatedly and
refusing To be led away. A the wealth
81 was stormy. Leblon's flight was IN
expected and only few people as
sembied 70 see the start. After the
start however. an enormous crowd
quickly gathered and followed the BODY
to the police hospital. There was an
examination. but the doctors were only
able to confirm that death must have
been instantaneous.

JAPANESE SPIES MAY
NOT Be PUNISHED.

Washington, April 2.-The War de,
partment has turned over to the local
Philippine government the prosecution
OF the two Japanese alleged to have
been engaged in securing plans for the
Notifications of Corregidor, Manila
harbor. through the bribery Of Joseph
q. Sake, an American soldier.
This has been done in the hope that
the local attorneys in Manila may be
able to find some section that will
serve to bring about punishment of the
offenders, whom the United States
code does not touch.
IT is quite evident, however, that
the charge Of bribery will not hold, as
the Supreme court has ruled that the
bride must be offered to an official.
or course, Private SAKE can and prob
ably will be tried by military court
martial, but it does not seem probable
that there will be any way of punish
ing the Japanese if found guilty.
