Der 26.-In a declaration of

went on record in resolution passed by
the convention declaring that the idea of
social equality SO often construed as un-
DERIVING the activities of the negroes for
the rights and privileges of American
citizenship are utterly foreign from what
is desired by our people.
While not condoning crime committed
by negroes, the convention pleaded for
fair trial for members of the race and
that their punishment follow only after
their conviction by due process of law.
In matters social. says the resolution,
I'VE are entirely content with our own
and ask that we be not hindered and fet-
tered in our struggle upward and denied

Two American AviatOrs
Slain by Mexicans

py Nseocisteu FTess
San Diego. Cal, October 26.-It was
officially announced here tonight that
Lieuts. Cecil Fl. Connolly of San Diego
Neiscr. Idaho, army aviators, missing
since August II, were slain in Lower
California by two Mexican fishermen.
The announcement was made upon
the arrival here of the destroyer Aaron
Ward, bringing the bodies OF the two
aviators from Bahia Los Angeles, on
the Gulf of Lower California, to which
point they had flown after losing their
way in a border patrol flight from
Yuma, Ariz., to San Diego.
According to Major r. S. Bratton,
head of the military party sent from
here to recover the bodies. the slayers
were from a Mexican sloop. their
identity is known to the United States
and Mexican governments. and steps
are being taken to capture them.
The destroyer also brought a part of
a story of the sufferings endured by the
young aviators, in the form of notes
scrawled in part on the wings and fus
ilage of the De Haviland airplane in
which Connolly and Waterhouse made
their last flight. Some of these mes
sages, evident written when the
aviators had almost lost hope of being
found, were of such tragic nature that
Major Bratton asked the newspaper re-
porters to refrain from using them, out
of consideration of the officers families
SUFFERED HARDSHIPS
Major Bratton said that the two
aviators had gone 10 days without food
or at least without much to sustain
them. The fate that drew them far
from their air path remained with them
until the very last. Maj. Theodore Mac
Cauley in of his flights to find
them, flew within 60 miles of the spot
where they stood guarding their plane.
Later.N on the afternoon of September
| 6, they were landed from a canoe on
the shores of Bahia Los Angeles by the
same fishermen who are accused OF
| having killed them five days later and
! at that time were only IL miles from
| Lois Plorres silver mine. where they
might have received protection and
| food.
| One of these messages, scratched on
the airplane fusilage with a knife or
nail, said the airmen remained in the
| air four hours and five minutes, that
they ran into a rainstorm and lost their
sense of direction. When they sighted
the Gulf of California they thought
| they were flying up the coast instead
of southwark along the east coast OF
the Gulf of California.
Another message, traced on the wings
and fusilage, told how the alrmen at
| tempted vainly for two days to catch
| fish to appease their hunger. They
then started walking northward toward
the border, but returned to their airplane
/ in IS hours when their supply of water
became exhausted. The airmen drank
| the water from the radiator or their
plane This proved sufficient to aliay
| their thirst up to the time they were
| taken to Bahia Los Angles from Claude
loupe bay. where the plane was landed
| by the fishermen.
