Two large Fokker double-decker sail
planes arrived on the field to-day. Their
surface measurements are twenty-seven

German. sail plane experts are en-
thusiastic over the records made by
Hentzen and Maertens. They declare
that while the French records at the
Clermont- Ferrand gliding contests are
being calculated in minutes, the Ger
man records already are being COM
puted by hours. The present German
achievements are cited as spendid vim
dication of the theories advanced by
Gustav Liiienthal, pioneer constructor
of the motorless plano.
Fifty-three contestants had entered
for the competition here, the staIA of

wind conditions. About forty-five nials

Some of the new planes are Of the
bird-shaped type. The new single

forces of the Free State, was ambushed
by irregular guerrillas last Friday while
motoring from the southern front to
Dublin, 1t became known to-day. Col
!lns and party of his staff were pass
ing through Stillorgef, only a few
miles from the capital, when the in.
surgents opened fire with rifleh, at the
same time hurting bombs at the car.
Although wounded by the first vol
ley. the driver put on more speed,
while the Collins party returned the
irregulars' attack with rifle fire. The
Free State leader escaped uninjured,
although the automobile was riddled
Wlth bullets. The chauffeur was hit in
one hip and taken to Dublin hos
pital. Casualties Of the irregulars are
unknown.
Collins's return to the capital Ia re-
garded as indicating the end Of the
neld campaign against the rebels in
munster, and the provisional govern
ment's efforts will now be devoted to
counter,ng the irregulars' guerrilla tac-
Tics. They are operating in flying col
umns, each small in number but high
~ mobile, along the lines of the tao
tics used against the British. That the
government is in touch with their
projects, however, is shown by the fall

last night, which was called off on ac-
count of the Free Staters' precaution-
ary measures.

Jersey Holds Its Breath
N0so to Kill Mosquitoes

In the land OF citronella--New
Jersey-they have discovered a
new way to kill mosquitoes.
When the mosquito sinks the
teeth of its foot claws into it's VIC
tim it always selects an open
pore. The way to slay the mos
quito, SO say the wags of Hoboken
and Paterson. is to wait until the
insect lights and bores into the
skin, and then stop breathing. The
pore will close up and the mos
quito thus is caught in trap and
can be killed at leisure.
This scheme works out just as
satisfactorily, it is said, as the
plan Of holding ones breath while
crossing muddy road in order
not to sink in the mire.

Speed Craft ON Saturday
gpecsal ptspasch to The Tribune

PORT JEFFERSON. L. T., Aug 90
Motor boats and seaplane searched
the waters of Long Island Sound in
vain to-day for the body of Donald
Phipps, who was swept from his speed
boat in Port jefferson harbor yester-
day. He WAS tile son of Amos Phipps,
wealthy Oyster Bay lumber mer-
chant.
The young man set out from Oyster
Bay yesterday morning in his speed
boat, craft thirty-fve feet long and
only ave feet in the beam. with Will
liam Lyons. who was graduated With
him from Yale in 1920. They were
bound for East Hampton, where Phipps
was to visit friends.
When off this place Phipps clam
bered out of the cockpit and made his
way over the slippery deck to the en-
gine hatch, which he opened and made
some adjustments.
Slips and Goes Over Side
There was a stiff offshore wind, q
heavy cross-sea and the slender craft
crashing down upon seas with force
which sent sheets of spray high above
the rail.
In attempting to regain the cockpit
Phipps missed his footing and slid
oversize. For moment he clung to the
boat with one hand and then O wave
swept him smoothly astern.s
Lyons, unfamiliar with the boat, had
gone more than 200 yards beyond his
companion before he managed to twist
the speeding craft out of its course.
In attempting to swing around in the
heavy sea, however, he stalled the en-
gine.
Phipps was a strong swimmer. Sew
Sound and back at Ferry Beach, where
it is Ave miles in width. When the
engine stalled he was still swimming
strongly and shouted advice to Lyons,
which came family down the wind to
the young man who was yanking fran
ticaliy at the wheel and controls.
"Use the oarsl" Phipps called.
Lyons got out the heavy oars and
with good deal Of splasbing and crab
catching managed to swing the boat
around. He pulled stoutly for the
place where he had last heard his
friends voice, but the wind was so
strong that he made little or no prog
ress.
Passing Boat Comes to Aid
For several hours he toiled at the
oars or sought vainly to revive the
engine. Then q motor boat picked
him up and towed him back to this
place.
Search parties set out at once,
Lyons accompanying one Of them. The
search was kept up until late at night,
powerful lights being used on the
boats engaged in 1t. but the young
mans body was not found. The sea-
plane Joined the hunt to-day, when
all hope that he had survived the ex-
perience was given up.
Phipps was twenty-four years old.
He left Yale during the war to enlist
IN the army air service and spent two
years in France. resuming his studies
on his return.

2 Flyers Drop 100 Feet
On Long Island !; May Die
Heavy Wind Sends Plane Into
a Nose Dive I'm Vicinity
Of CreannOrf

GREENPORT, L. l., Aug. 20.-An
airplane which took off from the es-
tate of Mrs. Albert Delafield here this
afternoon went into a nose dive in q
heavy wind before it could rise 100
feet from the ground and crashed into
a neighboring field, breaking in the
middle. It's two occupants, Jack Mars
ton, Of 55 Greensboro Street, Boston,
and man thought to be Edward Tay-
lor, of Texas, were rushed unconscious
to the Eastern Long Island Hospital,
where both were said to have sus-
tanned fractured skulls. They are be-
lieved to be dying.
The plane had landed on the Della
field place with engine trouble little
earlier in the afternoon. The ayiators
explained to an amateur flyer, who fur
nished them with oil and gas before
they took of again that they had pur-
chased the machine from the govern
nlent for commercial purposes, that
they had flown from Newark to spot
near Nattituck Sunday, and that
their ultimate destination was Boston,
with Fishers Island, OFF New London,
as their immediate objective.
The high wind is thought to have
caused the accident.

buried in the wreckage Of the engine.
The injured are Charles H. Stolkwell
and A. B. Heath, express messengers.
The train, composed entirely OF baggage

when the wreck occurred. The engine
jumped the rails, plowed along the ties
for forty yards and turned over into
the sand with crash. The first bag
gage car, carried along by the momen-
tum of the other cars behind it, went
200 feet beyond the engine before it
toppled into the ditch, mass of wreck
age. All told, five cars were smashed
and ten ditched.

agents of the road swarmed to the
scene from Gary, and it was from these
agents that the officials obtained the
evidence which purported to show that
the wreck was the work Of strikers or
their sympathizers. According to Cap

his men found that the spikes which
hold the rails to the ties had been
pulled from about thirty-seven ties.

for settlement of the strike Of 40o,-
600 railroad shopmen are good, 3.
NJ. Jewell, director of the walk-ous,
to-day advised his chief aid. John
Scott, secretary treasurer of the
Federated Shopcrafts.
Other evidence was obtained here
that the joint sessions of railroad ex-
ecutives and union leaders in New
York last week were successful in
reaching the basis of an understand
ing between the roads and the strik-
ers. Senator Medill Mccormick, who
is in Chicago, said that, in conversa-
ton with person who took part in
the New York conferences, he gained
the impression that the strike would
be called off this week.
Men Held Ready to Return
Further indication that peace is
imminent and that the seniority con-
troversy has been disposed of was re-
ported from Ardmore. Okla. where
the head of the local shop union re-
eeived telegram, purporting to come

on them. 1t was said in railroad circles
here that IL the message was actually
sent by Mr.. Jewell, announcement OF
settlement Of the strike might be
looked for as early as tomorrow
Union officials here were highly
skeptical Of the genuineness of the 4
message. Mr.. Scott said that If anys
such instructions were to be sent out,

Nine Defeats Not
Due to Resentment
Results i'm Indiana and
Ohio declared Especially
Disturbing to Democrats
BY Garter Field

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2o.--Primary
results to date, far from showing the
widespread resentment against the Ad-
ministration and Congress about which
so much has been ws sten, disclose an
unusual degree of .tisfaction with
men now in office. ST. far, the news
papers have made much Of such good
headline material as the spectacular
victory Of Beveridge over New, in In
diana, and Lynn Frazier, the Nonpar-
tisan League candidate, over Senator
McCumber, in North Dakota.
These have been coupled in articles
commenting on the political signifi-
canoe of the primaries with the pro-
gressive victories of Pinchot in Penn
sylvania, Brookhart in Iowa, r. B.
Howell in Nebraska, and magnifed into
a tide of resentment against the "ins,"
which is going to produce house
cleaning in Washington.
Some Notable Figures to Pass
It is entirely true that many spec
tacular figures serving in the House
and Senate will not be present when
the roll is called in the next Congress.
McCumber, New, Culberson, Myers in
the Senate, and Fordney, Uncle Joe'
Cannon, Campbell, Copley and ireland
in the House will be missing
But spectacular as these changes are
--and incidentally three of the above
mentioned changes are voluntary re-
tirements--they are mere eddies and
not the main current at ali,
For instance. outside of the Solid
South states, in which the Republicans
do not figure on electing any members
of the House, 1913 districts have thus
far chosen their candidates for Con-
gress in the primaries. When it is
considered that the entire South except
Tennessee is excluded, this represents
considerably mere tAfS ot,e-half the
country, as there are only 435 seats in
the House.
In these 1913 districts 158 Republican
members Of the House aspired to re-
nomination, and of those 149 were re-
nominated.
The nine who were defeated we're
Copley and Ireland, of Illinois; Herrick,
of Oklahoma; Walters, Focht, j. 4.
Jones and Mclaughlin, of Penhsyl-
vania; Campbell, Of Kansas, and Nc
Pherson, of Missouri. Ireland was
beaten by wet campaign which made
| modification of the Volstead act the
paramount issue. The four Pennsyl~
vania members who were defeated were
at least moist, and were defeated by
drys, strenuous fight being made on
them by the Anti-Saloon League. Her
rick was political accident, and from
his first arrival here plainly a one
termer. He got the nomination two
years ago when Representative Morgan
died few days too late for any one
else to Ale, and the Republican land
slide pulled him through.
Thus six of these nine setbacks for
the candidates seeking denomination
have, nothing whatever to do with any
dissatisfaction with the Administration
| or with Congress.
