Young Filler To Be Buried
Tomorrow from Church
at Hampstead, L. |.
Was Army Expert at22
Expected Death in Air, but
Flew Thousands Of Miles
Without Accident

A squadron Of aeroplsnss, driven BY
former pupils, will escort the body OF
Peter Carl Millman when il is con-
veyed from his late residence. at lol
jerusalem Avenue, TO the Church Of
Our Lady Of Loretto. in Hampstead.
Long Island, tomorrow morning. Mem
bers of the flying guard OF honor will
scatter flower. upon the procession fol-
lowing the hesrse as it moves 20 the
church.
Millman. who died Sunday night Of
pneumonia. following an illness of nine
days, was Familiarity known to the
world of aeronsutics as "Tex" Mill
man. He started his aviation career al
the age of seventeen, as a mechanic
with the Moissant Aviation Company.
In less than a year he had gained a
reputation as one of the most capable
pilots in the country. and was giving
exhibition fights. Although only TWEEN
ty-two years old at the time OF his
death, he held position as an army
field at Mineola.
The fier was a son Of Frank Millmsn.
OF Pittsburgh. He was born in that
city on July 8, 1924. When still boy
he went TO Texas, and 1t was the forma =
tive years spent in that state which
gave him both his nickname and his
soft, almost Southern speech.
On October II, l9l6-fve months ago
-Millmsn married Miss May Schultz,
of Garden City She survives MIN.
Although Millmsn had flown thou
sands of hours, he had never had a
serious accident. He was daring with
out being unnecessarily reckless. He
was what aviators call STEADY" air
man.
Millman himself had always thought
that death would come 20 him through
the air. An afternoon last May at the
Sheepshead Bay Speedway Millmsn,
flying Schmitt monoplsne. had
circled the track at the rate Of some
eighty miles an hour without ever
rising more than thirty feet above the
earth. II was dangerous business.
Tex" newspaper man. asked the
aviator after the flight: Weren't you
taking pretty big chance in flying so
low"
. "Yes." Millman replied. but the air
currents were not so bad there. and |
could make more speed in my light
craft"
He laughed. and then said soberly:
81 suppose ri be killed that way some
Gay. Most fiers are. III never die in
bed"
Interment will be in Westbury.

A boat put out yesterday afternoon

Another City District Will
Be in Balance Under
Koenig Proposal
Democrats to Fight
Cut in Delegation and Slight
to Charles r. Murphy
Are Resented
Iron . star corr.spOnd,7, o. Tie Tnbunsl

From star Correspondent % Tie Trbunel
Albany, March 19.-The Republicans
gain one Senatorial district and have
an even chance of getting another in
the New York County apportionment
layout which Chairman Samuel 5. koe-
mig Of the County Committee brought
TO Albany tonight to be embodied in
the new legislative spportionment bill.
Manhattan's representation in the SEN
ate is cut from ten to nine by the 1913
state census figures and constitutional
provisions, but if the legislative ap-
portionment committee accepts the
Koenig plan, which it is practically
certain TO do, the Democrats will have
five instead Of eight sure Senatorial
districts, the Republicans three in
stead Of two, with the new 10Th Senate
District in the balance.
Mr.. KoeniR, however. will not get his
plan through without fight The op-
position from the Democrats is eI-
pected to be bitter. not only because
Of the cutting down OF Democratic
stronsholds. but largely because the
18th Assembly District. presided over
by Charles F. Murphy, Tammany chief.
is split in two. The apportionment
does not affect the political balance
OF the district, but sentimentally 1t
will raise havoc in the Wigwam.
In two Of the new districts pro-
posed two Democratic Senators are put
in rivalry. Senator Robert +. Wag-
ner, minority leader, and Senator Sal
vatore a. Gothic, a first term man, will
have 70 fight for the nomination IN the
new 18th Senate District. In the new
14th District two other Democratic
Senators, Bernard Downing and Jacob
Koenig, both first term men, are op-
posed.
The county apportionment is salts
factory to the Republicans of Man
haitian with but one eXception-the
new 18th Senate District. now repre-
sented by Senator Albert Ottinger
But the figures for the districts show
that the 10Th will have about 1900
safe Republican plurality.
Chairman koenig announced that the
plan had been Endorsed by 30 votes out
Of 81 in the county executive commit
tee meeting, Albert J. Berwin, leader
Of the 18th, not voting.
In the new layout the following dis
tricts remain safely Democratic:
Twelfth, Senator James J. Walker;
18th, Senator John j. Boylan; 14th,
Senators Downing and Koenig; 10th,
Senator James A. Foley, and 18th. Sem
ators Robert r. Wagner and Salvatore
A. Gothic.
The following are considered safely
Republican;
Fifteenth. Senator 0ttinger; 18th.
Senator Ogden L. Mills, and goth, new
one. in which no member Of the Senate
lives at present, but which is in terri
tory counted Republican.
The pew 18th District. now repre-
sented oy Senator Edward j. Bowling,
Democrat, will be toss-up.
There will be twenty-three Assembly
districts in Manhattan under the ap-
portionment, instead Of thirty-one as
at present.

The Pioneer is reliably informed
that the Cornell Paper & Pulp Co.,
OF Cornell, Wis, will cut and log
10000 cords of jack pine pulp wood
during the coming winter from the
tract of land they recently purchased
south Of Iron River. A fire passed
over that tract last spring and dam
aged the timber quite extensively.
It is in the area where the fire did
the most damage that the operations
will be conducted. For the most
part the timber will be hauled out
to the Duluth, South Shore u Allan

shipment, and the bulk of the land
inc will be done at Campbell's mill,
a station six miles west of the city
Local men have been figuring on
taking contracts to do this work,

We're Observed

The people Of Washburn are
taking kindly to the proclama-
tlon for a meatless and wheatless
day each week and that it was
quite generally observed is told
in the drop in sales at the local
meat markets for the days.
Tuesday is meatless day and
Wednesday is wheatless day.
On meatless days meat substi-
tutes can be used and meat will
not be missed in the least, while
corn and oat products can be
salts factorily used on wheatless
days without any hardships.
1t is up to the people of the
United States to conserve on the
two great necessities, wheat and
meat. and the people should do
so willingly. Unless this is done
voluntarily, drastic measures
will have to be taken if the war
continues for any length of
time.
