AVERTED TRAGEDY
Former Chief Of Air Mail Service
Feels Filler Should Have
Sailed Above Storm.

Had the giant Curtiss Eagle plane.
which carried seven to death in a tor
rife crash yesterday. been flying at
the usual cruising altitude of sevsral
thousand feet II would undou btedl y
have weathered the storm.
This Is the opinion of an air mail
flyer. who three years ago. almost 10
the day. weathered a storm o fthe
same character and in almost the sam.
locality.
1t Is a mistake, and often a fatal
mistake. to attempt to fly under a
thunderstorm, according to the ex-
perience Of mail fiiers. who are sc-
customed to flying in all sorts Of
! storms.
CLIMBED OVER STORM.
The flight three years ago. made by
James c. EdGerton. former army flyer
and later chief of flying operations
for the air mail service, was from
load OF mail. The storm. which de-
stroyed shipping all along the Allan
TIC coast, rose in fury as the plane
Passed over Havrs de Grace.
The plane beaten down by terrihc
rain and swirling winds, forced The
pilot to turn tail and run before IL
as he attempted to gain altitude. An
attempt to land would inevitably
have been fatal. Lashed by the wind.
the plane was time and again beaten
down. only to rise again slowly
under the drive of the motor. Ev m
tually an altitude OF 10000 feet wss
reached. Here the wind was more
oven, though still very bunny The
rain and hail were not so strong.
The storm ran up to an altitude OF
approximately 10000 feet and a.;
1000 feet the scene was one of " e
no airplane could possibly have lived.
DESCRIBES CLOUDS.
Below any storm OF this char
acter the atmosphere is always
whipped by terrific up and down
currents" the flyer explained. This
can be seen in any thunderstorm.
when the greasy white clouds form
ing the "forefoot" of the storm can
be seen torn wildly apart and shred
ded away by the convexion cur
rents.
The bottom OF a cloud layer Is
generally nat. and this Is especially
true with a thunder storm. Be-
meath this level the. convexion cur
rents aare exceedingly severe.
"A plane under the layer Is LASH

AT about 10000 feet the plane has
Its best chance OF weathering tho

and the precipitation Is less. The
flyer. moreover. has an opportunity
TO study the shape of the storm and
the direction In which 1t Is moving
and can plan his course SO as to get
out of the storm center as quickly
as possible.
TN any case a pilot. when over
taken by sudden storm, unless he
is absolutely sure that he can land
before II strikes him, should always
rise to at least 10000 feet and ride
II out. Any number OF storm acci-
dents can be traced to failure to
take this precautlon."

IRISH PROBLEM IS
PURELY DOMESTIC
DE VALERA AND LLOYD GEORGE
AGREEMENT CAUSES MUSH
SATISFACTION HERE
NOT TO GRANT INDEPENDENCE
The Hope of Solution Lies In Ref.
erendum by the People of Ireland
Who Are Weary of Warfare.

Washington. = Although officiall!
the Irish problem is purely a domes
tic matter as between Great Britain
and Ireland the fact is the agreement
between Prime Minister Lloyd George
and Eamonn de Valera to enter per-
sonal discussion on October 11th OF
the questions at issue has caused
much qualification here.
For unquestionably the settlement
of the Irish problem will have a bear
ing on the relations between the
United States and Great Britain at
the forthcoming Washington confer
ence.
While there is no such thing as
consensue of opinion in official quar-
ters on such a delicate thing as the
Irish problem, a dominant view is
that Mr. Lloyd George has cleverly re-
newed the negotiations with the Sinn
Fein without causing either side to
seem to be surrendering its major de-
mand. Such information as trickles in
from reliable sources however, indi-
Gates that the British prime minister
is determined not to grant absolute in
dependence to Ireland
The hope Of solution lies in refer
endum by the people who are so weary
of warfare that they are said to
be ready to approve the settlement
which the British government is pre-
pairing to offer.

SOUTHERN SEEKS REDUCTION
Action Begun in United States Court
for Western District to Have Ito
1921 Assessments Set Aside.

Grensboro.-Alleging that the tax
assessments of their property in North
Carolina are excessive and discrimina-
tory and that under the statutes they
have no right Of appeal to the State
Board Of Equalization or to any other
state board or court, the Southern
Railway company began action in the
United States court for the Western
district of North Carolina to have its
1921 assessments set aside.
The Southern states in it's bill that
it has no desire to elhparrass the coun-
ties, municipalities or school districts
and expresses willingness to pay,
when due, whatever taxes it may owe
based on a proper valuation, leaving
to be fought over only the taxes on
that part of the assessment which it
claims is excessive.
The Southern alleges that the as
sessment of it's property in North Car
olina at above $96,OO0,OOO is more
than $3O,O0O,0O0 in excess of its true
value. 1t states further that, should
this assessment stand, its taxes in
North Carolina will be increased more
than s1SO,OOO over last year as the re-
suit of the action of the counties In
reducing the assessments on real es-
tate and increasing the tax rates.
