Pilot of English
MachineDies as a
Result of Injury
(Ry Associated Press)

Paris, April 8-R. E. Duke, pilot
of the English plane which crashed
into a French Goliath on the Paris
London aerial express route yester-
day near Thisulloy, died in the hos
pital at Beauvais today without re-
covering consciousness. He was the
only person in either machine to sur
vive the crash and his death brought
the total of tose killed to seven.
| Low visibility, caused by low aang-
ing clouds and mist, is given as the
primary cause of the catastrophe.
Both pilots were flying low at the
time, keeping the railroad tracks in
sight so as not to lose their way, and
this brought them together head on
The French company operating the
Goliath which was carrying three pas
sengers, has issued statement de-
claring that their polits have perfect
knowledge of the route, which they
have been covering for a year. Te
British machine, owned. by a new
company, had only been in the Lon
don-Paris service three days.
1t seems certain that those in the
Goliath saw the English machine at
least some secnods before the crash,
as, when the body of Mrs. Christie
pher Bruce Yule was found, a hand
was pressed to her eyes as though to
shut out the sight of the impending
collision. ,.-z
Besides Mrs. Yule, the dead are:
her husband, who was q New York
exporter NJ. Bouriez, another pass
enger; Pilot Mire of the Goliath and
his mechanician, and Pilot Duke, and
the cabin boy of the English machine.

SUPREME COURT SPLIT
ON LEGALITY OF BILL
FIXING GASOLINE TAX
(By Associated Press)

| Tallahassee, April 8.-That the il
legality of the gasoline tax bill was
decided strictly on technicality was
disclosed today in examination of the
opinion concurred in by three mem
bers of the supreme court which
yesterday rendered its opinion, as
well as the majority opinion con-
Cured in by Justices Whitfield and
West. The attack upon the bill was
made mainly upon the, ground that
the bill was signed by the presiding
officers of the two houses after the
sine die adjournment of the legis-
lature. .
The majority opinion holds that
the signatures of the presiding Off
GERS of the two houses must be af-
fixed to bills which have been duly
passed before the legislature .ad-
journs sine die, and that such pre-
siding officers have no authority to
sign a bill after the sine die adjourn
ment of the legislature; that, accord
ingly, the bill in question did not be-
come law.
In strong and exhaustive dis
senting opinion Judge Whitfield
gives his reasons for a view con-
trary to that taken by the majority
of the court, and this dissent is con-
Cured in by Judge West. 49,
The law in question provided that
all moneys derived from this tax
should be paid into the state treasury
to the credit of the state road license
fund and used for the construction
and maintenance of state roads, as
provided by law. .+'
Under it's operation the state was
receiving for it's roads approximately
one-half million dollars annually.
