Wilmington, N. c.. Sept. 21.-
Rumors of suspicious circumstances
surrounding the death of Mrs. Robert

vile. KY, and was buried here, re-
suited yesterday in permission by
Wilmington authorities to relatives
to exhume the body for further ex-
animation.
Relatives are protesting a codieiI of
Mrs. Bingham's will bequeathing $5,-

ler's third wife and inherited the bulk
of a fortune estimated at $50. 900. 600.
1t was stated that Judge Bingham,
by the terms Of an antenuptiai
agreement, was to receive SIS, 900 900
of the estate and that bv agreeing 10
this and not asserting his rights to

Must Attend Ground School
All candidates are enlisted in the
signal corps or the signal enlisted
reserve corps. This will actually hold
them for the period OF training,
ground schools of military aero
autics and at the aviation flying
schools up to the time when. having
passed the tests for q reserve mill
tary aviator or junior military avia-
tor' as required by the chief signal
officer, they are commissioned. If
they fail, they will be discharged
from the signal corps and returned
TO their former status. Failure to
Qualify for a commission will not
exempt them from the draft law.
During his entire course of train
ing the candidate for a flying COM
mission will have the rank of first
CLASS private, but at the option of
his commanding officer he may be
given temporary detail in other
grades Any of the candidates may
90 discharged at any time while
training for failure to pass tests or
examinations or by showing that he
is untitled mentally. physically or
morally for the duties of flying Of
ficer.
From the time when the candidate
is assigned to duty at the ground
school until he. is discharged, or has
passed all tests for commission, he
will receive pay of 500 q month and
sixty cents day for rations. Candi-
dates are sent first to the ground
schools, the objects of which are to
teach them their military duties, to
develop soldierly qualities, eliminate
those who are unfit to become flying
officers and give the necessary pre-
liminary training in use of the ma
chine gun, wireless telegraph, care of
aerial motors, assembling and care
OF alrplanes, principles of aerial
tactics, cooperation with other
branches of the service and the fun
damental principles of cross country
and general flying.
Discipline Like West Points
The system of discipline at the
ground school follows that of West
Point as closely as possible. Calls
themes and infantry drifl are requir-
ed daily, in addition to the course of
technical study. Glasses are sent to
these ground schools every Saturday
and are graduated after eight or nine
weeks. No candidate is sent to a
flying school unless he has passed all
final examinations in the ground
school.
The aviation flying schools to
which ground school graduates are
sent are situated in various parts of
the United States and in the coun-
tries of the Allies. 1t cannot be pre-
determined as to the length of time
1t takes to fit man for the airplane
service. Some can earn a commits
sion in a month; others take much
longer. It occasionally takes longeri
to correct bad habits than it does
to teach new candidates who have
never had any flying experience. At
the flying school instruction in ma
chine guns signaling and aerial tao
tics is continued. and after the cam
didate has passed all the prescribed
tests he is eligible for his commits
sion.
