NEW JUUGESH|P
FOR TENNESSEE
SENATE ADOPTS REPORT AFTER
SHIELDS DROPPED THE FIGHT
ON TENN. JUDGEsHIP.
GORE LIKELY TO BE NAMED
Conference Report as Passed, Pro
vided for "a More Federal Dis
rlct Judges and Additional
Judge for Fourth District.

Washington.-With a provision in
cluded in it creating an additional
federal judgeship for Middle Tennes'
see, the bill authorizing the appoint
ment of rs additional federal judges
passed the Senate.
When the bill went back to con-
ference the second time the Middle
Tennessee judgeship provision was
reinstated. Senator Shields had this
provision stricken out of the first
conference report on the bill, but
when it came back to the Senate in
it's present shape he did not oppose
its passage.
There is no doubt as to favorable
action on the part of the House.
John ]. Gore of Cookeville, Put
nam County, chairman of the Repub'
lican state executive committee, has
been proposed as the new judge.
BY vote of 80 to 16 the Senate
adopted the conference compromise
on the bill which was passed last
December by the House and last April
by the Senate. The conference re-
port now goes before the House for
final disposition of the legislation
which authorizes the president to ap
point "a more federal district judges
distributed over the country, and al
additional judge for the fourth cir
cult.

|. MaYnard's Death.

Lieut.. MaynaAd and his companions,
who had been making daily flights at
the fair grounds, crashed about l pm
near the grounds. Hardly had the
crowd recovered from the shock and
thrill of this tragedy when the sec
ond accident came. Smith, a protes-
sional aeronaut, had already made two
successful parachute leaps. On the
third attempt the parachute was seen
to open slightly, then close. The aero
nout dropped like a plummet, falling
Just outside the fence Of the grounds
Smith had been giving parachute
exhibitions for the past 10 years, and
was regarded as one of the best in
his line. Two years ago while at
tempting a parachute drop from an
airplane at Lynn, Mass he fell 500
feet and was severly injured. The
pilot of the plane was killed.
Lieut.. Maynard and his two COM
panions crushed to almost instant
death when their plane went into a
nose dive at an altitude Of 1000 feet
and fell. Lieut.. Wood and Mionette,
who, with Lieut.. Maynard comprised
the personnel of flying circus" that
had entertined large crowds daily for
week with stunt flying, went up
as passengers. Both were instantly
killed. Lieut.. Maynard, who piloted
the plane was breathing when specta-
tors rushed to the wreck, but died
on the way to the hospital.
The aviators had performed several
of the stunts on their programme,
when, at an altitude of 1000 feet,
Lieut.. Maynard tried a tail spin, ap-
greater altitude. The plane refused to
respond and fell into nose dive, fall
ing at the edge Of the fair grounds, a
mass of wreckage.
Wherever skymen foregather there
will be mourning for brave and be-
loved comrade, conceded to be Ameri
cas- foremost avitor. What former
Lieut. Maynard accomplished for the
science of flying is story that can
only be glanced at in newspaper col
umns. His outstanding achievement
was in the trans-continental air race
in October Of 1919
Previously in the International race
between New York and Toronto il
September of that year, he had de
monstrated his ability as a pilot BY
making the fastest time for the rount
trip, 1,O42 miles in 466 IA minutes
net flying time, an average of bette
than two miles per minute.
The body of Lieut.. Maynard wa
sent to his home at Maynard, N c
The local post of the American Legiol
took charge of the arrangements ent
escorted the casket to the train.

Under the constitution the secretary
Of state will soon make publication in
the county newspapers of the state of
the constitutional amendment sub.
mitted to the people at the November
election for ratification or rejection.
There are two of these amendments,
one is to take the trunk lines Of high
ways out Of the hands of supervisors
Of the S2 counties and put them un-
der the jurisdiction of the State High
way Commission, in order that Mis-
sissippi may share in appropriations
for the building and maintenance Of
roads from the federal government,
and the other is to abolish the offer of
county treasurer in the 50 counties of
Mississippi. Indications are that both
amendments will be ratified.

Venite Conference Postponed.

London.-The proposed near east
conference in Venice is unlikely to ba
held in the near future in view Of
the gravity of the situation in Asia
Minor.
1t is pointed out that the situation
has been so changed by the Turkish
victory in Anatolia that it will be
necessary to call full conference Of
the powers to deal with the settlement
and in any case nothing can be done
while the hostilities continue.

Washington.-Results of extreme
interest to the science of aeronautics
are expected by army aviation experts
to be obtained from the forthcoming
Ii .sls at Fairfield, Ohio, of the larg-
est airplane ever constructed in the
United States. The machine-a su'
per bomber triplane with a wing
spread Of 127 feet and carrying six
Liberty motors totaling 2,4O0 horso
power-will have an estimated speed
of 100 miles an hour with carrying
load of 10000 pounds.

something. Mr.. Mccall Is not up in
aeronautics to the extent of knowing
what the aviator attempted, but
knows that when he was perhously
near the farm house he Strengthened
out his craft and sailed about as II
In search of place to land, for a
signal, or for an expected automobile.
Evidently he didn't see what he
fancled, for he suddenly put on the
Juice" full force, went up to 1000
feet and did some more circling. Many
persons along the road were watching
him. BY that time 1t was about dark
and suddenly he seemed to decide
what to do, and he did 1t in a hurry.
He pumped down on a side hill, the
nose Of the plane bored into the earth
and the wings orumpled. The tank
was pnnctured and sent gasoline all
over the wrecked craft, but it did not
catch fire.
Mccall telephoned State troopers in
White Plains In the belief the aviator
had been killed, then ran out to see
who had fallen into his woodlot. In
stead of finding a mangled body he
saw a short. heavily built man In a
dark sweater pull himself out of the
wreckage. He was mad, in a hurry,
hatless, and as he raced for an auto
mobile that stood some distance away
in the road with open door he said
something about not being hurt and
on his way to the village to get some
body to take charge of the plane.
Capt. ]. A. Warner and Lieut.. Rob-
erts of the State troopers made a
quick trip with a squad in automo-
biles.

In grief over the strewn glass splln-
ters of what once had been perfectly
drlnkable whiskey.
The plane had two cockpits. The
forward one had been used by the
pilot. The other, designed for a pas
senger or mechanician. was crammed
full of liquor. In all there had been
some $50 quarts of Scotch and Irish
whiskey. All Of 1t. Capt. Warner
said, was of excellent quality. The
Captain spoke out of professional
knowledge, gained in enforcing the
Prohibition laws in Westchester.
The stuff all bore the stamp of the
Quebec Liquor Commission. Some Of
It had been packed in two gunny
sacks.
They searched the wreckage In the
hope of finding clues to the rum run

they disclosed. was a Montreal news
paper bearing yesterdays date.
Capt. Warner left three troopers on

! ficulties, such as the scarcity of land

taking such q possibility seriously.
Lieut.. Roberts said he believed, from
| the actions of the aviator, just before
the crash, that he was expecting to
meet an automobile or a truck near
McCall's farm to take the liquor to
one or more roadhouses on the Albany
Road. Several roadhouses. he said,
have been raided in the last few
months.

HOOCH A|RPLANE

State troopers, Deputy Sheriffs and
Prohibition Enforcement officers are
trying to-day to get line that will
lead to the Identification of the Cur
tiss biplane and ownership of $50
bottles of Scotch and Irish whiskies
an aerial rum runner was bringing in
from Canada, when the machine fell
at Croton, Westchester County, last
night. The aviator escaped in an au-
tomobile that was ready to pick him
up. OF him there is no trace.
The crash OF the machine shortly
after dark last night has led the au-
thorities to believe there is a regular
aerial hooch line between Canada and
New York. The whiskey in the plane
cost probably $3.50 in Canada and
would have been worth at bootleg
prices probably $4,000 If it had been
landed in New York. This would
mean a profit of more than $1,000 for
q little trip to Canada and back by
plane.
OF the whiskey in the machine
nearly 100 of the $50 bottles were
smashed in the fall. The remainder
was taken to White Plains and the
seizure reported to-day to the court.
How long the flying of booze from
Canada to New York has been going
on is not known. 1t Is believed, how
ever, to have been in successful op-
Grafton for some time, or since the
reorganization of the guard service
at the border, which is said to have
stopped the caravans that formerly
came by truck.
Last nights accident, in the opinion
of the majority of the authorities, has
revealed a highly lucrative system OF
bringing in contraband from Canada

Montreal paper of yesterday, show
ing the aviator had made good time
Another theory of some of the po-
lice is that the booze running by aero
plane was distinctly sporting propo-
sitlon of some one of the millionaire
colony in Westchester. There are
many former army aviators who took
a lot of chances during the war and
the little junket to Montreal, or some
other point on the Canadian border
for about $50 bottles of real stuff
would appear to many of the former
aviators as just a lark with a spice
OF danger to 1t.
