WRECK OF FLYER NJ[JRING OVER 30 LAID TO BAD RAIL.
Eight Passengers Rushed To St. Louis For Treat
 ment After Accident

CAPE GIRARDEAU, Mo-, August 26.-A defective rail is credited with having caused the wreck of the St. Louis-bound Frisco flier, the "Mem- phian," at Menfro, 40 miles north of here, early today, causing the injury of g passengers, three of them seriously.
 The condition of eight of the eleven passengers who were rushed here for treatment, is considered good by physi- clans tonight
 The three who suffered serious in juries are:
 Miss Marjorie Willinski. 21. of De troit, Mich, en route to her home from Memphis, who suffered dislocated hip and shoulder and other injuries. Theodore GleghOrn, negress, of Sparta, H., injured internally; c. R. Wadlow, Joplin, Mo-, an internal revenue col lector, fractured skull It is thought that the three will recover.
 Passengers who sustained only minor injuries received first aid treatment at Menfro and continued their journey to St. Louis.
 The train struck the defective rail on a curve, the locomotive and tender passing safely over the gap, but the baggage car swung to one side, causing the smoker and chair car to leave the track and turn over, one landing at the door step of a house near the tracks The passengers in these two cars were the most seriously injured, several be- ing thrown heavily against the seats and three hurled through the window.
 The first pullman rolled against an earthen embankment and the second merely left the track, remaining up- right. Although four hundred feet of track was torn up, traffic was resumed late this afternoon.
 None of the train crew was injured.
 The injured include: L. H. Estes, Memphis, Tenn, right leg bruised.
 Hobart Haggard, Blytheville, Ark, nose bruised and left hip bruised.
 ". B. Katz, Memphis, eye and nose bruised, shoulder hurt.
 Mrs. Carl. Schaefer, Memphis, arm bruised.

 Of the total membership, plus 7OO.- 900 union workers not affiliated with 1t, he said that 9 per cent are not citizens of the United States, and 5 per cent are under 21 years old and therefore, cannot vote. His research showed, Gary said. that the members Of the American Federation of Labor were divided among the major political parties--haf of them republicans and the rest democrats and socialists.
 Gary questioned that the labor lead CTS could control these votes. He said the federation came out for Taft in 1908 and for Cox in 1920 without any appreciable results.
 General improvement in the steel business, the judge said, has been due to betterment of international affairs rather than local conditions.

ATHENS, Ga., August 26.-The air plane was employed here today both as q death dealing weapon and vehicle of agricultural rehabilitation for the southern cotton grower.
 Spouting clouds of pulverized cilcium arsenate as it they were laying down a smoke screen, two giant planes built especially for such work dealt our prescriptions of death for the boil wee vii which 10000 business men and farmers gazed with interest at the first demonstration of the kind ever made in this section of the cotton belt.
 The planes were operated under di- rection of Dr. George H. Mahoney, as- sistant entomoligist at Tullulah, La, who was taking the place of Dr. R. J.

PRINCE DANCES WITH IRISH GIRL
 ABOARD STEAMER
American Beauties Passed Up By Wales So Far
 On Trip

ON BOARD R. M. s. BERENGA. RIA, August 26.-While the Berenga- ria Orchestray played "I Want to be
 Lazy" at the special request of Fl. R. H., the Prince of Wales, that young gentleman walked into the ballroom and selected for his dancing partner a viva cious little Irish girl who had been sitting with her mother and seven young commoners.
 The seven fell back before their royal rival and while half hundred breath less American beauties tried to keep their minds on the music and their own partners the prince led his Irish rose through steps that proved him to be an exceptionally good dancer. It was the moment for which the women on the ship had waited but the prince was chary with his favor. He dapced with Lady Louis Mountbatten and with his Irish Colleen but the American girls of whom he has been said to be very fond had to be content with merely watching him. During Monday evening the prince didn't miss a dance, though the entire first class passenger list seemed to have crowded into the ballroom, makA ing the air stuffy and hot. As the prince whirled around the floor he hummed bits of tunes and seemed to be enjoying himself.
 On one lap of the room, Wales rec Al n. end of saxophone which he plays in the Berengaria orchestra. Gardner and the prince are old friends. They first met when the musician was a member of the crack Irish guards and again when the prince crossed to Canada in 1923 on the Empress of France. Cross ing over to the orchestra Wales shook hands with Gardner and during the in- termission they chatted.
 Tuesday afternoon the prince, Lord Louis Mountbatten and Mir. Duff Coop CT and members of the prince's suite took part in a practice tug-of-war. An English team is being formed to pull against an American team.
 Strenuous exercise continued to be a part of Wales routine. He was up early again Tuesday morning for a workout in the gymnasium and few rounds with the gloves against George Mason, an English boxer.
 Although he mingles freely with the passengers and spends much. time on deck the prince doesn't like to have his fellow travellers snap pictures of him. Several have. tried it and each time the prince has yanked the visor of his zap well down oyer his eyes.

 Former Governor Cox, who made our entrance into the league one of the chief issues during the 1920, campaign, declared that then he "battled for a cause which is as certain to be yindi- cated as the setting of the sun." The former national standard bearer urged that Ohio democrats work for Mir. Davis election just as earnestly as they would have worked had he again been the nominee. MT. Cox threw the con vention into a good humor when he contrasted Mir. Davis with President Coolidge, asserting that "our candidate is not a man of mysterious silence; he thinks profoundly and takes the coun- try into his confidence and the people do not havc to consult q fortune teller to find out where he stands on any question"

PLIERS PREPARE
 FOR FINAL HOP ACROSS WATER
Indian Harbor, Labrador, Is Goal Of Smith And
 Nelson
lLeased wire to The Age.HeraIa. )

ON BOARD S. S. RICHMOND, August 26.-Carrying six fliers for whom the North Atlantic proved to be too great a barrier in their attempt to span it by air, the cruiser Richmond is steaming southward to take up its task of guarding the final water jump of the two remaining American planes of the four that set out last spring to fly around the world.
 In tiny fishing village on the south- west coast of Greenland Lieutenants Lowell Smith and Eric Nelson and their mechanics are putting new motors in their ships n, preparation for the flight that will bring them once again to the North American continent after a travel epic that outdoes Marco Pplo, and Magellan and all but eclipses the fabled wanderings of Gulliver.
 Thursday Smith hopes to lead his two-plane formation almost due south across the open sea to Indian Har- bor, Laborador. Plans to make the jump Wednesday were altered when 1t was found the installation of new mo- tors could not be completed in time.
 The entire convoy squadron under the command of Rear Admiral Thomas P. Magruder will. be concentrated be- meath the 500mile aerial pathway to Labrador. There are not enough ships to keep the airmen always in sight but given good visibility and calm seas, the navy will figuratively pass the fliers from ship to ship by radio,
 Lieutenant Eeigh Wade and his me- ehanic and Lieutenant Locatelli and the three others rescued with him will watch Smith and Nelson from the sub- stantial decks of the Richmond. Wade is becoming impatient to crawl into the the cockpit of his new mount and rejoin his companions in, the hop to Boston.

Urges Every Man To Take Part In
 Government

OONCA AAAADAhe
 STATE FAIR GROUNDS, CO., LUMBUS. Ohio., August 26.-Speak- ing for ten minutes in the grand stand at the state fair grounds today John w. Davis, democratic candidate for President, said that he had "but one message to bring-that it was the duty of every man and woman to take a part in their government"
 This is no time or place for political speech" he said. I came here not so much to be seen as to see, not so much to be heard as to hear"
 Indifference of some citizens of the government will destroy it quicker than communists. bolsheviks, or others, Mir. Davis declared. "Whetlbr I'm elected or some one else, it is of little importance, but of far more import ance is that men and women of these United States regard themselves as units in ethe government and exercise that prerOgative."
 Mir. Davis arrived at the fair grounds at 3 :30 p, m.. and went .directi to the grand stand, he left immediately after his speech
