AIRPLANE CRASHES
into ice SKATERS:
WOMAN IS KILLED
Youths Arm Severed and
Scores Knocked Down
On River in Jersey.

RED BANK, N. J., Jan. IS
Crashing into a crowd OF 2oC
skaters on the Shrewsbury River
near here late today. an airplane
which started before the aviator
could get into his seat, killed Mrs
Anna c. Hounihan. 90. of Red Bank
and amputated the right arm of he,
brother, Lawrence Conley, 20, OF
Middletown, N. ]. More than q
score of persons were bowied owe,
by the wings of the machine, bul
escaped serious injury.
On the river during the early aft.
ernoon, there were more than 1000
skaters. Scores of ice boats werc
sailing about. Along the bank,
were hundreds of onlookers. At In.
tervals, an airplane piloted by Jas
Casey. of Shrewsbury, N J.. put In
an appearance and the skaters
watched Il as IL went up and down
the river over their heads.
Feared Ice Would Break.
In the late afternoon the ma.
chine few low and the skaters ex-
changed greetings with the aviator
who leaned out from his cockpit
The plane lighted on the ice 20f
yards from shore. As II stopped
the skaters crowded about Casey
who served more than a year in ar
aviation unit in France and who
Is well known at Red Bank. Casey
after his return to this country
built his own machine and took
passengers up from his home regu-
larly.
At the point where the plane
stopped the ice was but z Inches
thick, and skaters gathered abou,
the plane in such numbers that
boatmen along the shore realized
that the ice might break through
Several started out to the plane and
heard the ice crack. More skaters
were coming up continually. and
boatmen suggested to the aviator
that he hop Off to avert a disas-
ter.
Ordering the crowd away from
n front of the machine, Casey
started the propeller. On both sides
were hundreds of skaters. The
plane suddenly swirled before Casey
could jump into the cockpit.
AS the huge machine swung
around the crowd pressed back
ward, trying to get out of the path
OF danger. Standing In the front of
the skaters was Mrs. Hounihnn, her
husband. Timothy: her two children.
10 and Z years old. and her brother.
The propeller struck the woman
on the head, crushing her skull.
She died instantly. The blades tore
practically all the clothing from her
body. Her brother, young Coniey,
was at her side. He had tried to
shove her back as the machine ap-
rroached. As she fell one OF the
blades struck him in the right
shoulder, severing his right arm.
Score Knocked Down.
AS the throng of skaters and on
lockers fed in panic, many fell to
the ice. The machine knocked
down more than a score before
Casey succeeded in stopping the
engine.
When the machine halted, the
crowd rushed forward again. Mrs
Hounihan's body was severely mu-
tilated. 1t was taken TO boa;
house nearby. A tourniquet was
made about Conleys shoulder and
he was rushed to Monmouth Hos
pital at Long Branch. where 1t was
said tonight he would recover.
Casey afterward flew back to his
home. He was not detained by po-
lice, who reported Mrs. Hounihan's
death as accidental.

from the De Valera republican

the country will vote down the

will be held late in the spring
They anticipate many difficulties,

Grifith's cabinet is receiving just
as strong support from the unionIst

is from the Sim Fein papers, some
of which formerly were national

which has been rendered doubly
critical by the oyerturn Of the
BRAND government in France
Every force In Downing Street

Aaims to widen Entente.
Until the Poincsre government Is
firmly established in Paris, the pro-
ceedings win necessarily be ex-
tremely delicate.
British government officials are
convinced that the entente, in its
present form, is antiquated and out
grown and that IL needs cC6Dlete
overhauling. There is a double
barreled purpose in this. In the first
place the Anglo French difficulties
must be Strengthened out; in the
second place. any entente must form
the nucleus CT a far wider European
settlement, such as the Washington
conference developed
1t is feared in England that II
the entente remains exclusively q
two-nation agreement. it may pre-
clude the broader scheme for all
European cooperation.

time IL is admitted that the refusal
Of France to participate In the new
association would have the same ef-
feet as that suffered by the league
when IL was organized without the
participation of the United States,
Germany or Russia
Lloyd George hopes TO make his

New Paris Premier May

SUPREME COUNCIL
SWAY ATTACKED
Six of BRAND Cabinet Re-
tanned, Including
Sarraut.

PARIS. Jan. I5.-The new French
government. headed by Raymond
Poincare and including in It's
membership six OF the ministers
who served under Aristide BRAND
has been formed. accepted by the
President and is beginning 10
function.
Its FIRST movement TO carry out
the nationalist program Which
constitutes the platform of Poin-
care and his political group is seen
in the endeavor of the new premier
to break down the supreme coHn-
ellis control of European. affairs
and revert TO the old style methods
Of diplomacy. conducting all nego-
tiations through the ambassadors
at the various capitals
VIII Refuse 60 Meet Russia.
Poincare's fEht against the SUI
preme council dates almost from it's
formation. in his writings he has
continually argued against settle
ment OF important European prob
leps by what he termed a peri
patetic council" Journeying from
capital to capital and creating
nothing but a series OF compro-
misses" Poincare scathineiy criti-
cised the supreme councils work In
Brussels and London last year, and
issued a fnal broadside when the
council found itself unable TO ar
rive at a satisfactory conclusion
on Upper Silesia, passing the dues-
tion over TO the league OF nations
for solution.
msnding the end OF it's activities
comes as no surprise
The second step TO put into effect
his program Is the indication that
the new premier will refuse to
meet Russia at the Genoa confer
ence table until Russia has ac-
knowledged all external debts tn
cluding those OF tbe Cars regime
Selections Are Approved.
Pofncare spent the entire morn
ing in an attempt to find occupants
for the posts of labor and hygiene
in his cabinet, and IL was not
until o'clock in the afternoon
that the completed list was car
ried TO President Millerand for his
approval. His colleagues were pre-
sented to the president in the
evening.
The political complexion OF the
ministry is not exactly what Poin-
care might have wished. owing TO
the refusal Of Herriot. leading rsoi-
cal Socialist. and Andre Tardieu. to
Join. Observers declare. neverthe-
less, that IL Is a homogeneous body
and that IL should work we'll
Four Of Poincare's colleagues
have never held cabinet rank be-
fore. As a whole the ministry rep
resents every section Of geography
OF France save the north.
By professions, IL includes ten
lawyers, three engineers, three
journalists. two members Of the
French Academy and former pre-
miers-Poincare and Barthou-one

mier Of the republic.
