FIRST LINCOLN MEMORIAL
(By Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, Aug. 12.-The only
tree known to have been planted in
memory of Abraham Lincoln right
after assassination has been nomin-
ateed for a place in the Hall of Fame
for ''trees with a history" which the
American Forestry association is COM
piling. A. S. Bailey Of Decorah, Iowa,
where the tree now stands, informed
the, association that the tree was
planted by one John Finn, who is still
living.
When Abraham Lincoln was assas-
sinated Finn was in Chicago and he
returned home much depressed. A
few days later, on April 27, 1865,
Governor Stone of Iowa declared day
of mourning for Lincoln. Finn went
into the woods and dug up a small
blackberry shot which he transplanted
on the street in front of his home. The
shoot took root and today is one of the
most magnificent trees in Iowa. 1t is
110 feet high and nearly II feet in
circumference to which facts the
American Forestry association paints
as a great lesson in what can be done
in tree planting. i,at

FLIGHT THRILL
CBv Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, Aug. 12.-Army
'aviators have long since ceased to get
many thrills out of routine or even
I"stunt" flying, it is said, but an ex-
ception should be made in the case of
two sergeants who recently set out to
break the worlds altitude record for a
parachute jump at McCook field, Day
ton, Ohio, according to an air service
announcement. The men were Sergts.
Strong 3. MADAM and Ralph Bottrei.
The sergeants without intimating
the nature of their objective, took the
air in lie Pere two-seated plane with
MADAM as the pilot and Bottreil wear
ing standard army parachute of the
double-pack type. After flying for an
hour the plane had reached an alti-
'tude of 20,6O0 feet and Sergeant Bot
treil started to climb out of the cock
pit to make the jump.
The release ring of his parachute,
however, accidentally caught on the
fuselage of the plane and the para
chute opened, prematurely, dragging
the sergeant out over-the tail of the
machine. Bottreil's arm struck the
rudder of the plane as he went by, tear
ing some ligaments of his arm and
ripping off sleeve OF his fur lined
flying coat. A strap of his harness at
the time caught the rudder and
tole it from the plane. The parachute
itself was damaged but opened as the
sergeant cleared the machine and
started his long descent.
Sergeant Bottreil lost considerable
blood from his injured arm during the
drop, but made a safe landing in a
plowed field and received medical at
tention in time 70 prevent any serious
result from his injury.
Meantime, Sergeant MADAM, in
rudderless airplane, 20,600 feet in the
air, was having troubles of his own.
He finally found a position where he
could maintain a straight flight by
keeping the throttle in a certain posi-
tion and fitting the plane with the
ailerons. In this manner he glided
down to within about 5000 feet of the
earth where he managed to make
wide turn by juggling his throttle and
aileron controls, Strengthened out and
made perfect landing without fur
ther damage to his machine.

STOP HOPE
Of BANK

Last Hope Gone for COntin-
uance of Service, Says
Ohmstede. Paris Says
what l Have Always
Maintained"

According to Clifford Coggins it
has been definitely settled that the gas
company will close down on Sunday
Aug. Is. Coggins said today that it
would be impossible for the city to
raise the necessary $4,000 in time to
continue the working of the company.
He suggested that after the company
had closed it's doors other capital
might be induced to enter the work.
The bankers who were yesterday
requested by Clifford Coggins and ].
II. Seymour to investigate raising the
money today said that because Of the
conditions offered them they could not
afford to enter the speculation. 1t was
thought yesterday that certificates of
receivership could be issued which
would hold as first lien mortgages, but
it has since been learned that such
certificates would not be issued by the
receiver.
When questioned today in regard to
Che matter Charles E. Paris said in
l-eply to the question of closing down
l;he gas works Sunday: "That is what
Il have always maintained" When
further questioned Paris refused to
give any information.
When questioned today Mayor Ohm
stede stated that as far as he could
ascertainIthe closing of the gas works
seemed the only possible action. He
said ~ regret the matter very great
ly, not only from my own standpoint,
but because of the affect upon the
town as we'll. The last means of
keeping the works operating has
failed, and can see no alternative"
Coggins said that perhaps the sup
ply of oil would run out before Sun
day, and that in case that happened
the gas company might close its OPP
erations before Sunday, but he also
stated that it had been reported the
Holton Power company would offer
the gas company a temporary sup
ply of oil sufficient to carry the COM

Damage Estimated 100000.
CalexicO Fire Department
Out. of Commission When
. Blaze Threatens Town.

Fire broke out early thiss morning
in the Patterson <vulcanizing shop in
the Safety Garage in Calexico, and
for a time threatened to wipe out the
entire town. The vulcanizing shop,
the garage, and Monahans Majestic
theater were burned, and Stocks No.
tion store, the Army grocery store
were damaged. The cause of the fine
is unknown.
When the flames burst out they
found the city of CaleXico with prac-
tlcally no protection, as the fire de-
partment was out of use due to it's run
TO Holtville yesterday. A few feet of
hose were thrown into a milk truck,
and volunteer fire department was
sent to the scene. Fighting the flames
as best they could the men were
driven back and back, until it seemed
impossible to save the town.
Just when the situation was most
dangerous the Mexicali fire depart
ment thundered across the border line
into the United States, and the little
brown fighters won the respect of the
entire town of Calexico by their eff
fort. AS soon as it was learned that
the CaIeXlco department was unable
to go to the scene the Mex:cano pre-
pared to go across. They had used
their department the evening before,
and consequently had to throw their
hose into the cart in heaps. With the
arrival of the Mexican engine and
the two hose companys the fire was
soon stopped. IS -.
1t had already gnawed it's way
through the Majestic theater, how
ever, and had done considerable dam
age there. Stocks notion store and
the Army Goods store were both
broken into by people anxious to save
goods, and thus a loss of a considera-
ble amount was eaused. ..s-
One fireman was severely burned on
the arms, because of the necessity 20
approach so close to the flames in
order to direct the insufficient supply
in telling manner
When the fire first broke out in the
Patterson vulcanizing shop one of the
employees rushed into the street,
shouting Fire, then entered the
building again, got revolver and
shot the contents of it. He was again
seen rushing from the buiicing, out
has since disappeared.
Thirteen automobiles were totally
destroyed in the Safety, but one large
steel dumping truck was saved, SO
quickly did the flames spread. Short-
ly after the flames gained headway
fire fighters and spectators were en-
dangered by the explosion of a large
quantity of ammunition, which had
for reason been stored in the garage.
Bullets scattered the crowd, and for
time the fighters had all they could
do to maintain their position. Short
w after the explosion of the ammun-
ition a large vulcanizing machine
blew up. which caused another but
more trifling furry.
The damage is conservatively esti-
mated at 100000, most of the loss, it
is said, was covered by insurance.
