AVIATORS SLOMAN AND HERSMANI
MEET DEATH WHEN PLANE FALLS
Seapane Take Drop of 1000 Feet
Hitting the Bay Near Barrancas Wharf-BOdieS
Recovered From the Wreckage.

Lieut.. Frank Sloman and Lieut.. Ell
ton c. Hersman were killed yesterday
afternoon when and Mo seaplane
which they were flying fell from an
altitude of 1000 feet off Barrancas
beach Just what caused the plane to
fall is not known, but according to
those who saw it just before it struck
the bay, the machine had been thrown
into a nose dive and the supposition
is that the pilot for some reason was
unable to get it righted before he lost
control and it began the downward
fall.
The plane crashed about o'clock
opposite the Barrancas light, not
great distance from the place where
a plane crashed a month or so ago,
resulting in the death of one man and
serious injuries to two others.
Immediately after the crash, rescu-
ing parties were hurried to the scene
and began the work of extricating the
bodies of the unfortunates from the
wreckage. They were recovered at
about 8: 80 o'clock and taken to the
naval hospital. Whether death came
as the result of the crash or by drown
ing was not learned last night as the
autopsy had not been completed.
A sad feature of the accident was
that Lieutenant Hersman, who was a
marine officer, was on his first flight
since arriving at the local station. He
arrived in Pensacola yesterday morn

board, officials said, has approved the

for the American merchant marine
and has indicated willingness TO per-
NIT the use of government vessels as
training ships for the men.
AS yet, however officials declared,
the bureaus plans for this school
have not taken definite shape and it
may be sometime before they are fur

FREIGHT
RATES ARE
not FAIR
4 Agricultural Products
A + e Required t Q
Bear Undue Share
o f Transportation
Costs

Washington, April 22-Transpor-
tation rates on products of agricul-
tare as on many other commodities
now bear a disproportionate rela-
lion 10 the price of such commodi-
ties and should Immediately be re-
duced. according to findings OF the
io.nt congressional committee OF
agricultural inquiry announced TO-
day by Chairman Anderson. Not
only should these freight charSes
come down. the report declared, bo1
m the future rate making bodies
and railroad traffic offices should
give greater consideration TO the
relative value Of commodities n the
making OF rates and let existing
charges on high priced finished
products stand, if necessary to 1e-
move cost burdens from basic ma
terialS.
Exhaustive review Of the trans
portation situation has con-
vinced the commission, Chairman
Anderson said, that '.pyramided per
cent. advances of freight rates dur
ing the war and following years,
caused dislocation of long stand
ing relationships between rates on
agricultural and industrial pro-
products and between competitive
enterprises and competitive terri
tories" which dislocation should
now be removed. The object OF
rate making bodies should be, he
said, in presenting the commission S
views, TO readjust rates SO far as
practicable to relationship
existing prior TO 1918.
Effects Of freight rates are en-
phasized it was said, because on
perishables they amount normally
10 one-rhird of the selling price and
frequently two-thirds," and .'pur-
chasers and farmers are dependent
in Il marked degree upon trans
portation charges" in prices. The
general result OF increased rail-
road rates and depressed commod-
ity prices was to bring railroad
rates on farm products in Octo-
Der, 1921, TO an index average Of
169. or roughly, 69 per cent, above
prewar levels. while farm products
stood at 102. Or barely 2 per cent.
aove prewar levels.
Outside Of its general conclu-
sions the commission advanced
three specific proposals TO better
transportation service for farmers.
the first being the enlargement Of
competitive avenues Of distribu-
ton through which the largest num-
. Der of consumers can reasonably
be reached" the second was the
i.extension Of through rates on grain
ito points of consumption through
two or more competitive primary
markets. the third, the extension
of the principles that coarse grains,
such as corn, should take lower
charges than breadstuffs. Ade-
quate ear equipment should also
| be maintained, it was added. On
dairy products and on cotton tn.
commission concluded that freight
charges had not had so serious On
effect as upon some othe~ tarnl
,stutfS.
