Plane Hurts Two
In Fall to River
Boiling Field Fliers Have
Close Call From Death.
Accident Mystery.

Lieut.. H. w. Beaton and Private
Sheridan A. Cook, both of Boiling
Field, narrowly escaped death yes
terday afternoon, when an airplane
which they were testing crashed
into the Anacost:a River near the
flying field.
After the men had been extricated
from the wreckage which lay in
two feet of water, 1t was found
that Lieut. Beaton, the pilot, who
resides at the Chastleton apart
ments. suffered from decorations and
bruises. Private Cook suffered from
several severe decorations of the
head and chest. Cook was removed
to Walter Reed Hospital, while
Beaton was taken to his home.
The two men had been in the air
for approximately fifteen minutes
and had dropped to an altitude of
100 feet when the plane suddenly
swerved toward the ground. No
reason has been given for the Crash.

Clouds of Steam
Drive Out Pupils
Fire Companies Respond as
1000 March From Park
View School.

Three fire companies were sum-
moned and the 1000 children who
attend the Park View School were
marched from the building when
huge clouds of steam filled the halls
and classrocms as the result of the
breaking of n safety valve on the
heating apparatus in the basement
yesterday afternoon.
The clouds of steam, which re-
sembled smoke, caused Frances
Farley. principal of the school, to
order the sounding of the fire sig
nal. with the result that in less
than two minutes all of the 1000
children were safely outside the
building.
Hearing the order for sounding
the alarm and seeing the steam
clouds, ono of the students, Leo
Donovan. ran from the building and
turned in an alarm of fire from
Box S126, Otis place and warder

Italian Residents Seize
Public Buildings; Presi-
dent Flees.
MANY CASUALTIES
FOR BOTH FACTIONS
Palace Holds Out, But
Guards Expected to
Surrender Soon.

ROME, March 3.-A revolutionary
provisional government has been set
up in Fiume as the result of an up
rising of Italians against the provi-
sional president. Zanella.
After a day of rioting. during which
Fascist. Italian legionnaires and re-
publicans besieged the palace and
drove Zanella from the city. the
Italian government has ordered the
destroyer Mirabello to land marines
at Fiume and restore order.
Guards Hold Palace.
Meantime the rcvolutionists are in
possession OF the postoffice and all
other public buildings. The surrender
of 400 loyal guards defending the
palace is unexpected momentarily.
The trouble arose out of Italian
Nationalist discomfort directed against
Zanella's recent appointments Of
Croatian police. Bands of armed men
marched against the palace. bring
Ing hand grenades and machine guns.
while women paraded the principal
streets bearing Italian flags and ac-
claiming the authority of their
motherland.
Changes Hands Thrice.
The postoffice fell into the hands
of the Fascist without a struggle,
but was retaken by the city police
and then again captured by the revo-
lItion.sts.
Fierce fighting continued in front
of the palace for hours, with the
Fiume guards faithful to the Presi-
dent. Zanella attempted several
sorties but was driven back each time
and finally fled to Buccari. His re-
treat was harried by Fascist sharp
shooters.
Seized Torpedo Boats.
The rebels seized an armed motor
boat with which they aided the bonn
bardment Of the palace. but the gov
eminent torpedo boats prevented
them from entering the harbor. Later,
several of the TORPEDO boats were
seized by the Sationalists
Casualty reports were incomplete.
They included many wounded and
several killed. One of the dead was
a loyal infantry officer.

Deadlock in Irish
Liaison Board
SquabbIe Over Prisoners and
Refugees Splits North
And South.

DUBLIN. March 3.-The import
ance of the North and South Liaison
Commission has been reduced
greatly by the decision of Gen.
Cameron. commanding the Ulster
forces. that IL cannot make recon-
mendations on such questions as the
mutual exchange Of prisoners or
other political matters. Col. Ward,
the chief provisional government
representative on the commission.
thinks that under such restrictions
the commission can serve no mu-
tual purpose.
The northern decision was reached
after Col. Ward had asserted that
1t was his firm conviction that the
release of the thirteen pre-truce
prisoners from the Fermanagh and
Monaghan border. now being held
in Londonderry prison, was essen
tial IL repetition OF the border
raid and its possible sequels were
to be avoided"
After the Ulster members of the
commission had started the North
could not guarantee the safety OF
some refugees, who had left the six
-ounty area. because a few were
wanted by the authorities. the
South withdrew its guarantees for
the safety of special constables
about 70 return home.
Three men held up two members
of the ministry OF labor in Moles-
worth street today and took a bag
containing $500 -(roughly S2.25el.
The victims pursued the robbers in
a taxi and members of the Irish re-
publican army and metropolitan
police Joined in the chase. One man,
resembling one of the robbers, was
shot in the back and seriously
wounded when he attempted 10 take
shelter from the bullets. One of
the trio threw the bag under an au-
tomobile in front of the Shelbourne.
Max Green. chairman of the Irish
pensions boards was shot and killed
by the robber while trying to stop
the latter. . Two of the robbers were
captured.

george, Tories of the Unionist marty
are crying Conservatism or reyoIu-
ton" In an effort to destroy the co.
alttion and restore the conserva-
tives to power. -.
The Evening Star today published
two secret documents circulated by
the "die-hards" among the Union
LIST members of Parliament. One
denounces the coalition as a fail
ure and declares IL is dominated
by the personality of the prime
minister and his colleagues. II
charges that the house of commons
has been reduced to a "subseryient
assembly without guiding prin-
ciple"
The second document is ad-
dressed to persons who are weary
OF lies, confusion and crime" II
expresses disapproval OF the Irish
settlement and lays down the prin-
ciples Of the conservatives.
1t was the spirit represented In
these manifestoes that led IJovd
george to make his threat of res
ignation in his recent letter to Aus
ten Chamberlain. The premier
made it clear that complete loyalty
must be Forthcoming from the To-
ries If he was to continue In once
Chamberlain is drafting a reply
to the premier's letter. Sir George
Younger is understood to have re-
fused to resign as head of the I'M
ion1st party. If Younger does NOT
resign. 1t Will mean that the pre-
mier's principle irritant will con-
unue in a position of power, and
the next move will then rest with
Lloyd George. In the meantime the
premier. with his usual noncha-
lance. has gone to the country for
the weekend to play golf.

growing out of the heavy snowfall
cost the District government ap-
proximately $4,000. To provide for
this huge expenditure. an appropri-
alton of $4,000 Is asked by the
District Commissioners in the Jones
rider to the District appropriation
bill.
Car Lines Losses 100000.
\ The Washington Railway and
Electric Company estimates the
loss caused by the storms at $780,
600, while the Capital Traction
Company places its loss at nearly
$4,000. Both of these amounts in
clude the cost for removing snow
from the railway tracks and the
loss of revenue during the time the
lines were unable to operate. but
neither include the wear and tear
on equipment or the repairs neces-
STATED by the storm damage.
Although the Chesapeake and
Potomac Telephone Company, by
virtue of its underground system in
the District. only expended about
s22,0 in the city as a result of
the billiards., an amount approx
mately $250.00 was expended In re-
pairs in other sections controlled
through the Washington Office OF
the company.
One of the most disastrous re-
suits Of the winters snowfall was
the crash of the Knickerbocker
Theater roof on January IS. iinme-
diately after the most severe storm
of the season-when &c inches of
snow fell during a thirty-siX- -hour
period-causing the death of ninety
seven persons and the serious in

Traction Companies. Oppose
Selling 8 Tokens for 20 Cents

Attempts on the part of citizens Of
the District to force the Neet rail-
way companies to sell three tokens
for 20 cents. as well as six for 40
cents have been unsuccessful. The
company officials state that deci-
sion on this matter Is up to the Pub
lie Utilities Commission. The COM
mission replies that they are Willing,
but that II Is up to the companies.
William +. Ham. president Of the
washington Railway and Electric
Company. stated that he believed the
sale of three for 20 cents would re-
duce the number Of Scent cash fares.
Omcials Of both companies believe
that 1t would delay service in rush
hours to sell tokens for both 80 cents
and 40 cents. ~ :
