ELKTON, Md, January 22.-Lost in
a heavy fog, Lieut.. Harry ]. Spauld-
ing, an aviator from Boiling Field
near Washington, met horrible
death about pm. today. when he
undertook to make landing on the
McClintock farm, two miles north OF
Elkton. The flyer had evidently been
having trouble with his machine, as
he circled several times back and
forth over Elkton a few minutes be-
fore the accident in the fog.
When he attempted to bring the
machine to earth it struck the top OF
a cedar tnee, swerving the plane into
a deep embankment along the road
into Iron Hill Station. In almost an
instant there was a heavy explosion
and fire ensued. Several persons wit
messed the accident, but by the time
they reached the scene the plane was
a mass of flames, and they were un-
able to rescue the aviator. The body
was recovered shortly afterward and
brought to an undertaking establish
ment here.
The government authorities and the
Aberdeen proving grounds were noti-
fed Of the accident, and stated that
Lieut.. Spau1ding made landing at
the Aberdeen proving grounds dur
ing the afternoon on his flight northward.
On resuming his trip he encountered the
heavy fog. and when his machine
passed over Elkton. it was flying
so low it was feared by onlookers
that he would strike some Of the
buildings or high trees.

CHICAGO, January 22.-The con-

ed to consider means of starting
a national building boom as one
method of reducing rents today
passed a resolution urging all
manufacturers of building materials
to reduce prices as much as pos
sible.
The resolution met with opposi-
tion. however. and carried by a
slight majority. About half of
the manufacturers refused to vote.
holding that the passing of resolu-
tions should be deferred until the
national housing conference in
Washington January 27 and %,
which was indorsed in another
resolution adopted today.
The resolution declared that the
United States was short two mil
lion homes and that a slack period
IN building had caused much of
the present unemployment. Re-
duction of the cost of building, it
is said, would tend to relieve the
housing condition and unemploy-
ment as well.
Another resolution, unanimously
adopted, urged Congress to mod

CITIZENS TO WORK
FOR DISTRICT VOTE
Federation Opposes Self
Government-To Give All Ef-
forts to Representation.

With a view to presenting a united
front in the campaign for national
representation in Congress for the
District, the Federation Of Citizens
Associations at meeting last night
in the District building went on
record as opposed to local self-gov-
ernment. The association also voted
disapproval of the floating Of a bond
issue to raise funds for the erection
of additional public schools: adopted
a resolution objecting to the Ball
rent law or any legislation to prevent
a landlord from recovering rent OF
possession Of property before the
Municipal Court, and tabled a motion
asking Congress to prevent the Com
missioners from acquiring square 710
for the construction Of municipal
refuse and asphalt plants and stables
and shops.
The action opposing local self-gov-
ernment was taken following a report
by the committee on law and legis-
lature on resolution adopted by the
Brightwood Citizens Association in
dorsing such move. The commit
tees report pointed out that in view
Of the appeal now before Congress for
national representation for the Dis
trict, which has received the warm
support of the federation. and the
manifest desirability for the citizens
Of Washington to present a united
front in the appeal. it would be in
advisable to inject demand for local
self-government at the present time.
Debate ON Refuse Plant.
The salient event of the meeting
was centered about the report of a
special committee appointed to make
a survey Of site bounded by 1st
and I'd and N and o streets. north
east. known as square TO, which the
Commissioners are said to be consid-
ertne for the erection OF municipal
refuse and asphalt plants and sta
bles and shops. The report was pre-
sented by DR.. B. T. Woodward, chair
man of the special committee. and. re-
suited in a protracted debate, which
ultimately led to its tabling by a
vote Of "a to II.
