FIFTH WARD MURDER
TRIAL COST $5,43S.23
District Attorney Rotan and
Chester County Treasurer
Submit Bills

Bills amounting to s5,43s.23 were sub
mitted to City Controller Walton today
by District Attorney Rotan and George
T.. Wilson, treasurer Of Chester County,
covering the expenses OF the Fifth Ward
murder trial, which was held in West
Chester last August The expenses,
which were compiled between District
Attorney Rotan and Chester County Of
flcials, include such fees as hotel bills,
carfare. witness fees and other expenses
incidental to the trial The court ex-
penses will be borne by the State.
1t is understood that the total amount
Of the bills Is greatly in excess of the
amount submitted to Controller Walton
today, and several items are in the
process of adjustment between Phila-
delphia and Chester Counties. Con-
troller Walton declined to make public
the exact amount Of the warrants be-
fore they are issued Certain Chester
County officials contend that the total
bills will amount to $6,399.29. The
warrants will be honored by the city
treasurer as soon as the auditing has
been completed by Controller Walton.
AS the trial was not held in Philadel-
phia County, and not during a regular
term of court, the question as to whether
the court officers at West Chester shall
receive any additional pay will have to
be decided.

DEVICES OF WARFARE
BROUGHT BACK HERE
Airplanes, Arms, Caissons,
Etc, Unloaded Mystery
in Outgoing Cargoes

Dozens of airplanes, thousands of
small arms, ammunition, guns and cais-
sons from over there" are being un-
loaded from transports at this port.
Huge cases, hundreds of them, are
being piled up along Delaware avenue in
front of the quartermaster piers Nos. 3S
and 40 by busy stevedores.
From an army and navy exporting
center the riverfront has been trans
formed into a receiving point, where
tons and tons of war material sent to
annihilate the Germans Is being re-
turned for storage in arsenals and other
designated assembly centers for the Gov
eminent.
The airplanes for the greater part had
never been unpacked. Neither had
much of the arriving small arms or
ordnance shipments. The returning war
material was brought to this port on
the transport steamships West Lake
and Eastern Star, docked at Pier 38.
and the Sudbury, moored to Pier 40.
South Wharves.
But the real wonder along the river
front is what Is going to happen to
the new cargoes now being placed
aboard the vessels. There are being
loaded millions Of pounds of flour and
provisions, the exact destination of
which Is still a mystery.

BAKER FELL 1000
FEET TO DEATH
Aviator Met Tragic End
4 When Plane Collapsed
Y at Tours Airdrome
LAUDED BY MAJ. BIDDLE
Girl to Whom He Was Re.
4 Gently Engaged WEEDS At
tache of u. S. Embassy

A 2000-foot fall killed Captain
"Hobey" Baker. The report of his
death. received yesterday was confirm
ed today In a cable dispatch saying
he lost his life at the Tours airdrome,
where he was waiting for orders to
return home.
Colncident with the confirmation of his
death comes the report that Miss Mimi
Scott, Of New York, whose engagement
to Captain Baker was recently broken
had married an attache of the Ameri-
can embassy in Paris.
This attache is believed to, be Phil
ander Gable, who is secretary of the
American embassy in Paris.
Miss Scott either has married or
soon will marry, Mr.. Gable" said A.
b. Ruddock, of the State Department
IN washington this afternoon. "I make
this statement as an acquaintance OF
Mr.. Gable"
Information of Miss Scott's marriage
came to Captain Bakers mother. Mrs
May Pemberton Baker Van Shuts,
through one of the staff of the State
Department at Washington. She has
not been told of the death of her sor
ooSdusc SIlt IL Ill at the Mur-
ray Hill Hotel, New York, where she
has apartments with her second hus-
band.
Only meager details of the accident
were given, and nothing is known ex'
cept that the crash came while Baker
was making a practice flight, his last
before leaving France to return to Phil
adelphia. In his pocket were his sail
ing orders"
High tribute to the skill of the Prince
ton football and hockey star as ar
aviator was paid by Major Charles ]
Biddle, who commanded the squadron II
which Baker had charge of a compan.
of planes.
Major Biddle told of the fights in
which Captain Baker won two of his
three victories over German airplanes
To get his second one he attacked a
group of five enemy planes The third
was propaganda plane, which he at.
tackled at a height of 10000 feet and
finally dropped" at 10000 feet

BASE HOSPITAL NO. 10
WILL BE HOME SOON
Colonels Gibbon and Norris,
Who Won Promotions, Have
Already Arrived

Promise of an early return of the
men and women who enlisted in Base
Hospital No. 10, the Pennsylvania Hos
pital unit, is brought by Colonel John
H. Gibbon, 1908 Spruce street, who went
abroad with that organization.
Although he was transferred from
Base Hospital No. 10 last January, Doc
tor Gibbon has kept in touch with It.
According to his understanding, he said,
the various overseas units are to be sent
home in the order they went abroad, and
as the Pennsylvania unit was one of
the first It should soon return. He heard
one report that It had already evacuated
