AVIATOR HAS ACCIDENT
ATTACKING NEW YORK
Bomb Dropper's Machine
Crippled When Missile Ex-
plodes Before Proper Time

NEW YORK. April 20. DeIloyd
Thompson, the young American aviator,
who flew over washington last Satur-
day night to show how an enemy might
drop bombs on that city, gave what he
called his second preparedness test last
night by making a flight from Governors
Island over the lower part OF the city and
back. He was In the air IA minutes,
ascended to an altitude of $500 feet and
dropped eight bombs" and searchlight
parachute ball. He travelled is miles at a
speed of II miles an hour.
Thompson started at 7:17 o'clock. and,
after circling the field, he rose quickly
and was lost to sight. The first two bombs
were dropped over South Ferry from
n height OF 1000 feet, and exploded at
1900. They were followed by the search
light parachute ball. which lit up Bat
terry Park and the harbOr.
All went we'll until Thompson reached
the woolworth tower, and then an acci-
dent happened which might have cost the
aviator's life. In describing it he said:
"The bombs are made fast to pieces OF
wood standing out from the wings and
are cut loose by electricity. There is a
time fuse which eXplodes the bomb after
IL has dropped 1900 feet. / cut loose two
of them, but only one dropped. The
second exploded alongside the right wing
and knocked several holes In that and
also in the tail piece.
when l saw the splinters flying I
turned my head and thought for mo-
ment some one was having n shot at me
with an antiaircraft gun. l stopped the
motor for a second or so to see what had
happened. After dropping about 500 feet.
l turned and started back for Governors
Island at an altitude of 5000 feet. At
the corner of West street and Battery
place used the last two bombs
The explosion of the bombs did not
afford any clue to the whereabouts of
the biplane because by the time they had
dropped 1900 feet the machine was some
distance away.

COMMITTEE PACKED
W. M. Burke Tells How
Hunt Appointed Wet Men
on Committee

w. M. Burke, who was SUPER
intendent of the Anti-Saloon
League in Arizona during the
campaign of 1914, sends the fol-
lowing letter to the temperance
people of Arizona, which shows
Governor Hunts real attitude on
the prohibition question:
DEAR FRIENDs:-In your pre-
sent campaign you may be inter-
ested in a bit of history bearing
directly on the fight against the
liquor traffic in Arizona.
At the time G. w. P. Hunt was
chosen President of the Consti-
tutional Convention, / was SUPER
intendent . of the Anti-Saloon
League in Arizona. Knowing
that Mr.. Hunt had the appoint
ment of the Committee to which
would be referredail temperance
propositions, l went at once to
Mr.. Hunt and said
Mr.. Hunt as the leader of the
temperance forces in Arizona |
have but one request to make of
you"-"Well! What is it," said
Mr.. Hunt. "Itisthi "IreIl ed
I'm the appointment of the COM
mittee which will handle temper
ance propositions, | request that
you do not pack that committee
against the temperance forces
and in favor of the liquor men. |"
Mr.. Hunt said, "Mr. Burke, that
is fair enough and l promise you,
| will not pack that committee
against you."
With this solemn promise, |
then left for local option cam
paign in Graham county. Within
one week, the committees were
appointed and to my surprise, /
found that on this committee,
George w. P. Hunt had appointed
two saloonkeepers and a third
man, who was nortorious sup
porter of the saloon crowd. The
minority of the committee was
dry.
When returned, | sought Mr..
Hunt and reminded him of his
promise to me. His only reply
was--that ''in appointing a COM
mittee of five members" he
either had to appoint three wet
or three dry members and Il
chose to appoint three members
who were known to me to be wet.
The result was that every re-
quest made to this committee for
favorable consideration and re-
port of measures which would
aid the fight for temperance in
Arizona, was turned down by
this wet committee.
Yours for an actually dry Ari-
zona,
w. M. BURKE.

Governor Hunt says all the
papers in the State are for
George A. Olney. Yes, and so
are all the wise men of the State.
Governor Hunt claims that he
settled the Clifton-Morenci strike
without bloodshed. The realfacts
are that the strike was settled by
officers of the Department of
Labor, sent there from Washing
ton.
Governor Hunt talks of econ
omy, yet he has vetoed every
bill passed by both houses of the
legislature which meant real
economy and a reduction in ex-
penses.
When, as chairman of the
Board of Control, Governor Hunt
ordered several hundred sacks of
flour from the Walnut Creek
Milling Co., of Kansas City, at
ten cents more per hundred
pounds than the price bid by the
Mesa Milling Co., of Mesa, it was
evidently for economy-his kind.

Hunt Repudiated
bv the Socialists

First of all our detractors early
last spring said in newspaper articles
for which they had absolutely no
authority. that Governor Geo. W.
P. Hunt was the choice of the
socialists as the next governor OF
Arizona. Then it was published
that the labor unions would nomin-
ate him and he would receive the
support of the labor party. Next
came the statement that the pro-
hibition party and the socialist party
would unite to prevent the pomina-
| ton of George Olney for Governor
of Arizona. And now comes an
other canard to the effect that
socialist backing wasgivcn to lectures
at Phoenix by one who was employed
by some other organization or clique
! in which it is said insult and abuse
was heaped upon the woman's clubs
and Sunday Schools.
The writer does not know wheth
err the charges against any of these
organizations was true or false, but
he does know that the socialist
party has nothing whatever to DO
with any other organization. poiitl-
cal or otherwise. Furthermore the
socialist party is not interested in
the least in any candidate but those
who have been nominated by the
rank and file of said party.
We, therefore. repudiate all the
above and any other allegations OF
the same character as libelous and
without any foundation in fact.
The aims and objects of the socl
alist party are of too high and en-
noblng a character to indulge ir
sny such odious practices as those
that seem to delight the eyes anc
ears of those not affiliated with any
working class political party, We
have our eyes on the goal and ou'

Celebration for
Grandpa Quinn

Sunday, October 8, 1916, J. j.
Quinn, of Layton, will have reached
the century mark. but on account
of the exact date falling on Sunday,
it is intended to hold valley cele-
bration of the old folks, whose an
nual gathering is scheduled to be
held here, so that the two events
will be combined on Saturday,
October 7th.
The Valley Old Folks Committee,
by Jos. H. Lines, their chairman,
signified in a letter to VIM. Moore
Clayton, the local secretary. that
such course would meet with their
approval the matter is therefore in
the hands of the local organization,
the regular committee of which
will be called together in the near
future, when plans will be formu-
lated for the biggest and best event
of this kind ever held in the valley.
The work of preparing the pro-
gram is already we'll under way and
many people, specially endowed
musically, and otherwise, for just
such work, are to be asked.
A very large attendance is al
ready pledged from distant states,
many of whom have noodles of re-
spect for the centenarian.
Northern Arizona also is to be
we'll represented at this celebration,
and a special effort will be made tc
get full attendance of all the Old
people of Graham county, without
regard to sex, creed or color.
No effort will be spared by either
the stake or ward committees tt
make this an event to eclipse al
celebrations in the State of Arizona
