The President-elect was questioned
as to details of his conference, but
said merely that he had discussed the
whole ground of an extra session pro
gramme. Reiterating that he had
arrived at no specific cocclusions, he
added:
Il am sincerely sseking to get the
point of view of these men. am net
asking for conclusions, but merely
want to talk things over with them
The President-elect was asked, in
view of the prominence Of both Se1a-
tors Gore and Smith in the proposed
plans for a reorganization of Senate
committee and the abolishing Of the
seniority rules, whether that subject
was discussed.

GANGSTERS KILL
SUSPECTED PAL
Another Crime in Streets Of
Gotham

New York, April 29.-suspected of
"squealing" to the district attorney,
Jerry Mazda, known as Jerry the
lunchman," met his appointed death
on Forty First street near Broadway
early today. He was shot down by
gangsters, who sent bullets into his
body.
The shooting occurred only a couple
of block away from the scene of the
murder of Herman Rosenthal last
July, but the gun men had less luck
than the Rosenthal murder, crew. Five
policemen who were in the Immediate
vicinity heard the shots and pounced
upon five men whom they accused
Of the killing.
The police allege that the men
caught are members of the Paul Kel,
ly band of gangsters of which Jerry
vas an adherent. They say that
Jerry had recently fallen under sus-
picion, however, and that he was
thought to be revealing the gangs
secrets to the district attorney None
of the men caught were armed, but
witnesses said they had seen them
throw revolvers away and three OF
the guns were found in a garbage
can nearby
The police say that "Guiena Sam,
one of the prisoners, was under ar
rest two years ago in connection with
the murder of another member Of
the gang under similar circum-
stances.

NEW CHAPTER IN SCIENCE

Thus Entered Upon New
Phase-Military Ex-
perts Enthusiastic.
IRN Gable 20 The TrIhune.

Paris. Sept 2-Pegoud's feat yester
day Of flying head downward in A
Bleriot monoplane was repeated this
morning in the presence Of Colonel
Ramazotti and other military and civil
representatives Of the Ministry Of War
and Ministry OF Marine. The achieve
ment is considered by flying men here
the most important and sensational
step toward safety and stability since
aviation was made practical science
by aviators like the Wright brothers
and Santos Dumont
In conversation on the thrilling per-
formance. which Is the sole topic in
Paris to-day. NJ. Santos Dumont said:
"Pegouds feat with a specially con-
structed Bleriot machine brings avia-
ton into the domain OF a regular pub
lie method OF travel. because ii insures
n security which is fully as great as
that Of journeying in a high power
automobile Even should an aeroplane
be suddenly capsized al an altitude or
more than a thousand yards. we now
know that a catastrophe is by no
means the inevitable result, this owing
TO the perfected parachute such as
Pegoud has recently successfully ex-
perimented with. and to this revolu-
tionary feat OF upside down flying.
THE science Of aviation thus enters
upon a new phase OF safety and i'm
munity, the ultimate consequences OF
which are more far-reaching than any
human being to-day is able to predict"
At the Ministry OF War this per-
formance of Pegoud is regarded as an
other national triumph Of French
nviators anf as increasing a hundred
fold the value Of aeroplanes for mill
tary purposes.
Pierre Baudn. Minister Of Marine, is
convinced by the result Of Pegoud's ex-
periments yesterday and to-day that
the use OF these uncapsizable topsy-
turvy aeroplanes will be vital for all
well equipped war vessels. and that this
new type Of aeroplane is the aerial
counterpart or the unSlnkaDIe .I1eDOat.

mannuvre Of turning a somersault in

over the aerodrome at Buc. near here.
with perfect success. Pegoud had
promised TO demonstrate that his per-
formance at Juvisy Yesterday was not
the result OF an accident. but was
proof Of proper control and also OF the
stability Of the aeroplane. and he car
ried out the daring feat with apparent
ease again to-day.
A dense fog had settled all over the
district around Buc this morning. and
this delayed Pegouds ascent for three
hours and a half Then the sun burst
through and soon cleared away the
thick mist.
Pegoud ran his aeroplane into the
centre OF the field and indicated to
