Two Burned to Death i'm ;
New Flying Field Crash
Third Passenger May Die, but
the Pilot Escapes in Brat
tIehOr0 Wreck

BRATTLEBoRO, VT, Aug. 1s.--Two
persons were burned to death and a
third, woman, probably mortally
burned late to-day when an airplane
crashed during the dedication Of a
new flying field here. The three were
passengers in a machine piloted by
B. Hughes, of Mineola, L. l., who es-
capped with minor injuries.
The dead are James Trahan, of this
city, and his five-year-old son, Norman.
Miss Evelyn Harris, of Brattleboro,
was burned so severely that it was be-
lieved tonight she would die. Her
brother, Fred II. Harris, president of
the Outing Club, which was in charge
of the exercises, witnessed the acct
dent from another airplane, $500 feet
in the air.
The crash came when four planes
were in the air performing "stunts" as
the final feature of the dedication pro-
gram. Pilot Hughes, with his three
passengers, had just taken off when the
wing of his plane touched tree top.
The plane Slowed around and went into
nose dive. In it's descent it came in
contact with some high tension wires,
and Immediately burst into flames. 1t
fell on the bank of the West River,
some distance fro mthe flying field, at
q point where there were no SPECTATORS.

O'Malley Again
Explains Leaks
In Market Bureau
Commissioners and His AS
sistant Tell Grand Jury
What They Know of AL
legged Craft of Supervisors

Commissioner of Markets Edwin J.
O'Malley was again the star witness
yesterday before the Kings County
grand jury investigating alleged graft
in the Department of Markets. Dis
trict Attorney Ruston, who is directing
the inquiry, has put his foot down,
however, on the leaks through which
it was possible to obtain some idea of
the nature of the testimony given the
panel, so that it could not be conjec-
tured what the Commissioner told the
jury.
1t was reported, however, that the
Commissioner repeated substantially
what he said the day before to news
paper men. He arrived at the court
house about IL m, and was examined
only for short time. Aloysius NAL
10y, the Commissioners assistant, fol-
lowed Mr.. O'Malley into the grand
jury room. Mr.. Malloy is understood
to be thoroughly familiar with the dis
position of the funds handled by the
street market supervisors, and it is
thought that he was questioned par
ticularly on this point
District Attorney Ruston announced
that forty other witnesses are to be
called before the grand jury, among
these H. Warren Hubbard, First Dep
uty Commissioner Of Markets; John
Haller and John P. Reilly, supervisors.
Mr. Ruston added that the inquiry is to
continue for several weeks, and that a
full statement will be issued at the
close of the investigation.

The note was found by her family,

Heat and Delay

Irk Travellers
Rotterdam Passengers Indig-
nant Over Slowness of
Customs Examination
i'm ssSsuffy Corridors
Pier Was Boiling Hot
Officials Explain Small
Staff Is Due to Cut i'm
Govern nm ent Budget

Considerable Indignation was ex-
pressed by the 31o first cabin passen-
gers of the Rotterdam, of the Holland
America Line, which arrived here yes
terday, over the slowness and delay of
the immigration and customs examina-
tions to which they were subjected.
The Rotterdam's passengers declared
that they were kept lined up in narrow,
stuffy corridors on very hot day while
the vessel was at Quarantine during an
inspection, which, they said, was con-
Quoted by a force of officials entirely
too small for the task. Then, later,
they were made to stay on pier which
they characterized as boiling hot and
without a breath of air" while their
baggage was being examined by very
small staff of customs men.
Customs officials declared that the
difficulties of the Rotterdam's passen-
gers were being shared this year to
greater or less degree by all incoming
travellers. They have been doing their
best, they asserted, in face Of the fact
that with more traffic coming into the
pert than ever before the force Of in
hpSCttlS NUMBERS UfneSy-SSVeu less
than it did last year, the reduction
having been made, it is understood, be-
cause of Congress- failure to appropri-
ate sufficient funds for the work
Aboard the Rotterdam was former
United States Senator James P Phelan,
of California, who has been making
trip around the world for the last ten
months.
Mr.. Phelan recently was in Ireland
and witnessed the fighting in Dublin
two weeks ago. He called on Arthur
Griffith in his room at the hospital a
few days before the latter's death,
which he attributed to a cerebral
hemorrhage, due to a constant fear of
assassination.
"The world encourages dreamers for
while, and then demands reality and
common sense. Ireland has not yet
reached that STAGE" said the ex-Sena-
tor, adding that if De Valera is cap
tured by Collins he probably will be
treated leniently.
Other passengers were Mrs. Rudolph
Spreckels, of San Francisco, and her
daughters, the Misses c. and E.
6preckels, who made a six-months'
motor tour through Europe; A. A.
Houghton, brother of the American
Ambassador at Berlin, with his wife
and two children; j. w. Buzzell, man
ager of Stone & Webster, and J. A.
Barnet, Cuban diplomat

Students Departing
AS Summer School
At Columbia Ends
Many of 1864 Enrolled
From Foreign Countries;
Sight Saving Glasses
Introduced First Time

The twenty-third summer session of
Columbia University, with the largest
enrolment on record, ended yesterday
and the exodus of the 1864 students
will reach its height to-day. They are
returning to their homes in every
state of the Union and many foreign
countries.
Many of those who studied at Co.
lumbia in July and August were teach
ers who took advantage of their vaca-
ton periods to study the latest educa-
tional methods. Some were earning
new degrees. Others, in increasing
numbers, were not working for
academic credit, but attend Columbia
summer after summer for intellectual
stimulus"
A new feature of the session lust
ended was the course in sight-saving,
conducted by Robert 3. Irwin, super
visor Of the sight-saving classes in the
Cleveland public schools. There also
was demonstration class in this sub
ject, conducted by Miss Gertrude
Thompson, of Cleveland. New York
school children suffering from defec-
tive sight were the pupils in this
unique class.
The rosters of the Cosmopolitan
Club and the British Empire Club
showed that every quarter of the
globe and a score Of nationalities were
represented in the enrolment.
Many of the instructors and lectur-
ers were heads of great engineering
organizations, government officials and
leaders in the business world. They
co-operated with the regular summer
school faculty, on which were in
structors from nearly all of the lead
ing colleges and universities.

Germany and France Head

Hamburg-American Line Di-

ON, His Trip to Homeland

That Germany and France are head
ed for financial crash and that the
rest of Europe will probably 60 down
with them was stated yesterday by
Henry c. Perkins, banker and mine
owner of Washington, D. c., who re-
turned on the Resolute, of the United
American Line, from a visit to his
son, a secretary at the American EN-
bassy at Rome.
ut is a terrible situation to con-
template, but it may be better to have
it come and then build up again on
the ruins" said Mr.. Perkins. "Italy
is getting along as we'll as any coun-
try and is trying to pay her debts,
and Italy and Germany seem to be the
only busy countries. When the crash
comes the United States will be in
volved, because we have large inter-
ests abroad, though perhaps not as
great sufferer"
Another passenger was 10 Davidson,
Greenwich Village sculptor, who said
that his monument to the American
doughboy would probably be unveiled
in Suresnes Cemetery, France, next
spring. Mr.. Davidson made portrait
busts of Tchitcherin, Krassin and Lit
vincff, the Bolshevik delegates, at the
Genoa Conference last spring.
Captain Harry S. Gardner, of the Re-
mount Service Of the Army Of Occupa-
ton. returned with Mrs. Gardner after
four years of active service. He brought
who will be taken to Fort Slocum, and
ten enlisted men, some of whom have
been abroad five years. Captain Gard
nor bears striking resemblance to
General Pershing.
julius P. Meyer, director in the
United States of the Hamburg -Ameri-
can Line, came back with Mrs. Meyer
from trip to Germany, where, he said,
affairs look very gloomy. Other pas
sengers included Mitzi Hajos, light
opera star, and her husband. Boyd
Marshall; Charles r. Hamilton, we'll
known horse-show man of Philadel-
phia; William l.. Pemberton and Mr..
and Mrs. Theodore Wolff.
The arrival of the Resolute with 904
passengers from Hamburg, southamp-
ION and Cherbourg marked the second
anniversary of the United American
Lines, and the ship was dressed in all
her bunting in honor of the occasion.
BY coincidence the freighter Oregon
inn, which was the first boat sent out
by the new company, lies alongside the
West Forty sixth Street pier, having ar
rived two days ago from Hamburg. The
line now has thirty-two ships,
passenger and freight, of 250,ooO gross
tonnage.

Bedtime Stories
Reddy Remembers One Of His Early Lessons
By Thornton w. Burgess
What once you learn retain In mind,
Some day use for 1t you'll find.
-Reddy Fox.

When Bowser the Hound stood up
on his hind feet and shifted at the
top of a certain old stump in the
Green Forest he knew right away
that Reddy Fox had tried an old
trick, Bowser knew exactly what that
trick was and he didn't waste q
minute. He simply started to run
IN a big circle around that old stump.
Just as he expected he soon found
where Reddy had touched the ground
after jumping from the top Of that
stump. "Bow, WOW, wow!" roared
bowser, and away he went on Reddy's
trail.
Of course, there was nothing for
Reddy to do but to begin running
again: His rest up on the top Of
the hill had been very short. 1t had
been altogether too short. He really
hadn't recovered his breath. ooh
dear!" sighed Reddy. II must get rid
of that dog soon, for | can't RIM
much longer. l wish he had a long
coat like mine. If he had he wouldn't
be SO eager to run on a hot day liae
this Bowser is altogether too smart
| used to be able to fool him easily
But each time he chases me IL Is
harder to fool him. must think Of
some new trick and / must do it right
away. | certainly cannot run in this
heat much longer"
But Reddy found it very difficult
to keep running and think at the
same time. He couldn't think of a
single new trick and he couldn't think
of good old trick. He was painting
with the heat and because he was so
tired. At the Laughing Brook he
stopped long enough to get drink,
Then he tried the old trick of running
some distance in the water and then
jumping from stone to stone. He
knew it wouldn't fool Bowser for
long, but it would delay him and that
would mean chance to get a few
minutes of rest.
1t was while he was resting that he
heard in the distance sound that
suddenly reminded him of something
1t was the faint whistle of distant
train. 1t reminded Reddy of a trick
Old Granny Fox had taught him when
ne was young and getting his frst
lessons out IN the Great World. II
was very long time since he had
tried that trick on Bowser, and ner-

Wee Y0nkersite Visits Germany y
And Forgets His Native Tongue
Two-Year-Old Billy, Born Yankee, Now Con-
With His Mother Through Teuton
Nurse, but Is Learning English Once More
interpreter.

For the next few months Mr.. and
Mrs. William Theile, of $50 Valentine
Lane, Yonkers, will devote themselves
to the task of teaching their two-year-
old son the English language. The
child, Billy, born in America, talks
with his mother through his German
nurse, who acts as interpreter.
Five months ago the Theiles sailed
for Europe, taking with them their
baby, who had learned to walk and
talk like the little Yankee he was.
Their trip on the Continent being an
extensive one, Billy was left with some
of Theile's relatives near Hamburg. A
German nurse was engaged to look
after the youngster.
Two weeks ago Mr.: and Mrs. Theile
returned to Hamburg and found their
son not only didn't recognize them, but
had forgotten his slender English vo-
cabulary and could speak and under
stand German only. Mrs. Theile does
not speak German, and in order to be-
New-York tribune., 1922-08-19

come re-acauainted with her child she
retained the nurse to come to the
United States and add the arduous du-
ties of interpreter to her regular occu-
patton.
The Theiles returned aboard the
United American liner Resolute yes
terday. The Statue of Liberty, Ellis
Island, Manhattan's sky line-all
brought forth from Billy calculations
in the Teutonic tongue. Although the
job of repatriating him began on ship
board, Billy had not made great head
way in learning the speech of his ma
tive land
Mrs. Theile, however, is not worry
ing.
"Of course I'm not disturbed" she
said, "and there is no necessity for me
to learn German. Within few months
Billy will be talking the best Yonkers
dialect. It just happened that he was
in Germanspeaking environment at
an age when he picked up words and
phrases easily. Just wait and see how
he talks wnen Santa Claus comes next
