Air Clubs in Clash !.
Over Question of
Leadership in u. S.
Courtlandt Bishop Requests
international Federation;
to Transfer Recognition
From Aero to Flying Club

The opening gun in the fsht for
aerial leadership in this country be-
tween the American Flying Club and;
the Aero Club of America was ssreSs
yesterday, when Courtlandt Field
Bishop, first president of the Aero
Club of America. cabied the Federation
Aeronautique Internationale il Paris
to transfer its affliation in America
to the American Flying Club.
Mr.. Bishop recently returned from,
Paris, where he placed the questionss
of transferring the affaliatien Of the,
federation before its members.
After describing his reasons for the
transfer, the cable states that the "fours
great aeronautical events of 1919 were
conducted by the American Flying
Club" and concludes by Saying, ssSinee
my return to the United States dlfd
that the American Flying Club has pre-
pared an extensive program of activity
for 1920. 1t will conduct races and
contents. 1t will homologate records. 1t
IS forming local flying clubs all over
the United States. representing In each
community the fiiers and those who
have at heart the future Of aeronautics.' -
Rival Club Makes Reply :.
In reply to this the Aero Club ct
America issued long Official state
mept, in which it was stated: "ofRcials
and members of the Aero Club Of Amer
lea were surprised to learn Of Mr..
Bishops action. the only reason FOE
which tnat anybody could think os
was defeated for election as oficer Of
the club two years ago, when he was
part of an opposition ticket which wa6
beaten by vote of only thirty for Mr.,
Bishops ticket, while the regular ticket
received 1900 votes" :
The statement recites the activities
Of the Aero Club, and then says: ~Ad
to Mr.. Bishops statement that the Fly
ing Club will homologate records, Mr.
Bishop is mistaken. Only the records
hom ologated by the Aero Club Of Amer.
federation in the United States, viii
be recognized by the federation, and
aviators partic pating in any unsanc-
toned event will be disqualified"
Aviators Were Disqualified
In the current issue Of Aerial Age.
it is stated that the federation recently
disqualified certain pilots Who tool
part in the New York-Toronto Air Race
and the American Flying Club, which
organized it. "The Aerial Age" is pub.
lished. by Henry Woodhouse, one O.
the governors Of the Aero Club.
Mr.. Bishop is now a member Of the
American Flying Club, which was
formed early this year by . body OF
United States Air Service aviators in
France. During the year the Ameri-
can Flying Club, in cooperation with
the United States Air Service, managed
the fTranscontinental Air Race in ad-
dition to the New York-Toronto rxce.

TEAKETTLE ROUTS SNAKE
Waterman Uses IL In Battle With
Copperheads.

Surrounded on all sides by kissing
copperheads, Joe Leonard, Waterman
at the Fulton tunnel. on the New York
Central railroad, near Clearfield. Pa.
owes his life to kettle of hot water
which he always has on the top of the
little cast-irOn stove In the shanty
which shelters him from the elements.
After completing inspection of the tun-
mel recently, Leonard returned to his
watch box. and on entering found six
big copperheads had taken possession.
The biggest reptile In the bunch
struck at him from beneath bench.
fastening its fangs In a leg Of the
watchman's overalls. Leonard sprang
on to small bench. permitting the
copperhead to dangle over the side.
Realizing that he could not battle the
snakes without weapons. he seized the
teakettle and began pouring boiling
water on the snakes. which were strik-
ing at him from all sides.
Leonard then sprang outside with
biggest snake still hanging to his over
alls, evidently unable to release Its
fangs. With big rock the Waterman
soon dispatched his closest enemy.

Young Negro STRIKES woman
With Hatchet. Assaults Her
And Sets Her Clothes on Fire.
The most horrible and revolving crime
in the history of Middletown valley was
perpetrated Monday morning, November
18th, when Charles Robertson, colored,
aged 16 years, employed on the farm of
Mr.. Arthur Hightman, near Middletown.
Maryland, struck MIR. Hightman's wife,
Mrs. Edith Hightman, aged q years, on
the head with Ratchet, assaulted her,
and then poured coal oil on her clothing
and set her on fire.
Mrs. Hightman was so terribly burned
and injured that she died the following
day.
Up until Wednesday it was thought
that Mrs. Hightman had been burned
while making fire with coal oil but dur
ing her semi-conscious condition she told
b ,r mother, Mrs. George Coblentz, her
injuries were not due to an accident. At
another semi-conscious moment she said
she believed she had been knocked down,
that the last she remembered, she was
standing in the kitchen washing dishes.
She said she most certainly did not pour
oil on the fire and did not remember any
thing about being on fire. Then she told
her mother that Robertson had mention
ed something about an axe about 8 am,
soon after her husband had left for Mid
dletown, and said the negro might have
struck her Having repeated the above
statement several times, Mr., Hightman
decided to go to FrederiGk and consult
States Attorney Andera,
Wednesday evenin the States Attorney,
Sheriff Wertenbaker, Deputy Klipp Of
Frederick, and Deputy Ssnnsr went to
the Hightman home to investigate. The
negro, who had remained on the farm,
vigorously denied any knowledge of Mrs.
Hightman's death. He was unmoved
when taken into the room where her dead
.ody 10y. The officers decided to take
Robertson to jail where, later be confess
e. to having committed the. crime,
In order to prevent lynching when
the confession became known, the Sheriff
and his deputies lost no time getting the
,egro to Baltimore city jail.
