ports, however, did not result in reme

was visiting Miss Taylor at 115 I street. |
Persons who figured in the accident
say there was dense fog. which made
it practically impossible for Mr. Smith
to steer clear of trolley pole 14s. This
is the first pole to the west of the
tracks coming toward the city. Poles
beyond 2Sth street are on the east side
of the tracks.
Mounted Sergt. S. L. H. Russell of the

scene, George Dorf, who resides nearby,
coming to his aid with a lantern. The
police sergeant found the body of
Schaffer on the road and his compan-

According to statements made by
Miss Fitzpatrick and Miss Taylor to
Detective Baur at the Taylor home,
today, the car in which the women and
their escorts were riding was on it's
way to the city from Bladensburg,
where the party had visited the Ban
willie home. Some time after midnight,
they stated, when they were ready to
start for home. il was suggested that
Mr.. Smith and Mr.. Schaffer would bring
them to the city in Mr.. Smiths car.

Hardly had the accident happened, it
is stated, when the car in which Mr..

on the road and Miss Taylor had
alighted to help him. She was of opin-
ion that the Mann car had run over
Schaffer and contributed to his death.
Occupants of that car are certain that
no such a thing happened.
In order to prevent just such an oc-
currence, it is stated, Mr.. Mann made a
quick turn to the right and headed his
car in the direction of the Dcrr home
to the west Of the road. The car. it is
believed, turned a complete somersault
and pinned its occupants to the ground.

away. Bitterly disappointed, the two
men only waited until daylight the
next morning before starting to re-
trieve their misfortune. In this
flight they succeeded In finding only
one German aviator whom Deuliin
generously left to his friend. and who
lost no time In bringing him down.
Their disappointment was slightly
lessened. but they frankly admit the
fear they feel that their solemn COM
pact can no longer be maintained.
There is only one thing that will
reassnre them. and that Is that the
sixth aviator to be brought down by
each will be brought down at the
same time In a joint flight. Not only
they. but the entire French aviation
service Is keenly awaiting the mo-
mcnt when this supreme test will
come.
