an important step. In 1925 the ses-
sion was devoted 10 the history OF

correctional work, and the first gem
cral secretary OF the conference was

ploying a paid general secretary was
adopted

Of primary importance in the devel-
opment of the conference. New or

tions 10 merge with the conference.
IL also has been directly influenced
by the development of state super
visOry and administrative boards by
charity organization societies and by
college courses in economics. The
state conferences are similar TO that
OF the national body, but none of the
organizations are attempting 10 du-
plicate the service of the national
conference.

has been distinctly a gathering of
men and women practically engaged
in voluntary and public social ser
vice. and the conference is open to
any one having an interest in either

TWO DEATHS HIGH IN AIR.
Were Experimenting with Explosives in
an Aeroplane.

! Washington, ID. c., Nov. 1.-Two naval
officers lost their lives yesterday after
noon at Indian Head Maryland, when a
new bomb they were experimenting with
in an airplane exploded while the ma
chine was 100 feet up. The sirplane and
its two occupants were blown to atoms.
This statement was issued at the navy
department:
Lieut.. Luther Walsh and Lieut. c. X.
Bronson were killed this afternoon by
the prema ture explosion of an airplane
bomb during experimental work in test
ing bombs for use against vessels
The bomb detonated Immediately be-
meath the airplane. 1t was seen TO de
tomato and the airplane to break in two
and fall into the river.
Hardly any trace of the airplane or
passengers has been located yet A por-
tion OF human stomach has been re-
covered from the river, but that is ALL
This occurred at 2:45 p. m. to-day.
"The experiments were bc:ag conduct
ed by Lieut.. Wilkinson as representative
OF the bureau of ordnance"
Lieut.. Bronson, a naval flyer, was pi-
loting the machine and Lieut.. Walsh
was handling the bomb Naval officers
here are inclined to believe that when
the bomb was thrown from the machine
it struck a guy wire or some other part
of the airplane. Lieut.. Walsh tried to
drop the bomb on an object in the Po-
tomac river representing part of ship
A searching party went to the scene
and dragged the :.iver. All
they found of the airplane was part of
the tail.
Lieut.. Bronson was born in Illinois 27
years ago and was appointed to the ma
val academy from New York. He was
attached to the naval aeronautie station
at Pensacola, Fla, and recently ordered
to Indian Head to conduct the airplane
part of the ordnance tests.
Lieut.. Walsh was born in and appoint
ed from Missouri He was stationed as
an ordnance officer the Indian Head |

Bronson as passenger.

occurred until Harry Arrigoni, barber,

eye witness. She saw the child start to
cross the tracks toward North Main

in time to avert an accident. The bar
Der, Arregoni, was at work in his shop in
his basement of the Griffin store when he
was attracted by Mrs. McKenzes cries
for assistance Dropping his shears, he
raced to the crossing in time to pull the
body of the child from the rails. He laid
the little one in the grass and covered
him with his apron before notifying the
train men.
Meanwhile Mrs. Mckenzie had sent an
call into the telephone CEN
trail Office and a doctor, ambulance and
police were soon on their way to the
scene. Health Officer DIR. j. W. Stewart
viewed the remains and Chief Sinclair,
who hurried to the crossing with Deputy
Sheriff G, L, Morris, conducted an inves-
tigation before the body was transferred
to the ambulance. DIR. Stewart found
that one of the wheel fianges had liter
ally beheaded the young one and there
was an arm fracture.
The Granite City was bound for the
north end Sf the yard on shunting
expedition when the accident occurred.
They were advised that the child had
been killed when Arrigoni, after remov-
ng the body from the track, signalled
them to stop as they approached the
,rossing. Engineer A. p Burnham was
At the throttle and Conductor r. H.
