c. P. Bishop, proprietor OF the

morning reelected president of

its convention held in the audi

land, was elected treasurer.
Although no formal resolutions
were adopted at the meeting this
morning, an informal discussion
of the sales tax recently proposed
by President Harding as a means
OF providing a soldiers bonus, ap-
peared to meet with favor among
individuals who addressed the
meeting. If such a tax Is levied,
however, the speakers felt that it
should cover many lines of en-
deavor so that no hardship would
be worked in any particular field.
Indications were early this af-

tion here probably will vote to re-
duce the associations membership
fee from S25 to SIS.

rector Of the national association

alleviate the "on approval" evil

that 38 Of those aboard the air
ship, the largest semi i-rigid dirigi-
BILE In the world, were killed, while

Heat Prevents Search.
1t was officially announced at
the army base at 3:40 o'clock that
only ten survivors have been res
cued from the Roma. Eight are
seriously injured and two slight
ly. All are in nearby hospitals.
Difficulty in definitely fixing
the number of killed and injured
was caused by the fact that in
tense heat from the burning
wreckage prevented close inspec-
ton.
Eye witnesses said the Roma
was flying at a height Of from 500
to 1000 feet when she was seen to
be in trouble. A thin wisp OF
smoke appeared and the craft
started downward obliquely.
Before the ship struck the bar
racks building a number of men
were seen to leap, some with para
chutes and some without. Some
Of those removed from the wreck
age were badly burned, but others
escaped virtually without injury.
The Roma, which was the larg-
est semi-rigid airship in the
world, was sailing in southeast
erly direction, when, according to
observers, she suddenly burst into
flames and fell like comet to the
earth. The explosion occurred
shortly after ten o'clock.
Authorities at Langley field,
the home station of the Roma, and
