PLANE DIVES INTO
 TANK, KILLING TWO

NEW YORK, May 5.-Ensign Hugh J. Adams of Pittsburg and Chief Ma chinist's Mate Harold Corey of Scran- ton. Pennsylvania, were instantly killed at the Rockaway Beach naval air sta ton today, when the machine in which they were flying dived into a big hy. drogen gas tank. The two men were crushed to death beneath the engine of the plane, which crashed through the cockpit in which they were sitting The flight, part of the daily maneuvers at the air station, had been in progress only five minutes when the accident occurred. The machine, the HS-1, small navy hydroairplane, rose from the water and circled over the land at a height of about 400 feet. When it was over the hydrogen tank, the engine went dead and the plane started to nose dive. Ensign Adams attempted to right it. but had not sufficient alti- tude and the machine crashed into the roof of the tank, bursting through the steel top. The tank, which is part of the navy balloon equipment, was empty.
 Ensign Adams was one of the oldest flyers in the navy and Corey, although he did not hold license, was rated as pilot.

The discouraging feature -- the present situation is that the total gain since Saturdays report is only s145,75 .294. This is about s300, 900 .0Jv short of the daily average that must be rnaints ined from now until the end Of the loan. fl the country's quota is to be subscribed. Five days removed from the final goal in the fourth Liberty loan campaign, the country had subscribed $2,451.O53.- $50 or about ss50,00o. 900 more than it has subscribed in the present loan.

MINNEAPOLIS, May 5.-President ,Julius H. Barnes of the United states grain corporation announced late tooay that reports that the corporation hau purchased 25,0e0. coo bushels oi wheat from Canada were untrue, but he re- iterated the declaration, which he made earlier today, that arrsG5ements had been made for the purchase Of a mod crate amount of wheat rom the oo- minion. He declined at this time to issue detailed state.=enC regarding the prospective purchases.
 The amount of wheat to be imported from Canada is to be determined by surveys which the United States grain corporation have begun, MT. Barnes said. He added that incarnation thus far obtained indicated that American elevators in the northwest seem to be well stocked with grain. but that equitable distribution is the most im- portant problem which confronts the corporation.
 MT. Barnes cautionea against the impression that Canadian wheat would he brought toin this country under any other conditions. He issce0 this state ment:
 ''The greatest problem We are fac ing is equitable distribution of wheat held in the elevators and on the farms of the northwest. The surveys show there is sufficient grain for tine needs of the people if distributed properly. In that event, it may not be necessary to import Canadian wheat. At any rate. the amount of wheat ts De purchased from Canada will be moderate"
