Constitution Mine

Kellogg, Thirty of those be-
lieved to have been trapped at the
Constitution mine last night by a
forest fire, were brought in here early
this morning over rough mountain
trail, their only open passage, and
word came with them that the re-
mainder of the beleaguered mine
workers and their families were safe
and would be out shortly.
A. M. Ross, assistant fire warden
for the timber protective association
said only one man is missing, Alvin
Stanley of Wallace, who was one of
those fighting the fire at the Naboh

man came out safely though Proctor

lIdentify Body
Found i'm Lake

Gillett. Wis.-The body found in
! Sand Lake near here late Friday,
with shirt filled with sand tied to
the neck, was identified late yester-
day as that of Henry Winter, a. So
year-old farmer who has lived in this
vicinity for 80 years.
Relatives Of Winter, when question
ed, stated that he never had trouble
with any one and expressed their be-
lief in the theory that he was robbed
| and then murdered. They also related
how he had been struck blow on
the head about 20 years ago from
which he apparently never recovered
and which caused him to have IRA
tional spells ever after. These facts
substantiate the theory that Winter
committed suicide.
In Wow Of the verdict of the cozo-
ner's jury yesterday that the cause
Of death was unknown, authorities are
continuing their investigation for
possible assailant.

FOUR FLIRT WITH
DEATH in MISHAP
One Woman Hurt When
Car Turns Turtle Into
Ditch Monday Night.
HOLDS TRAFFIC HOUR

The fates were kind to four young
road shortly after seven-thirty o'clock
Monday evening, and as a result of
this beneficience Miss Adelaide Ac-
corsi, Kurza Korzanski, and Mr.. and
Mrs. Joseph Sturgis, all of Hurley,
Wis, are alive today to tell the tale.
The four were winding up vacation
tour on their way home about three
miles south of Racine last evening on
the Lake Shore road. There was a
string of three cars in row, of which
their car was the first. The third car
in the string attempted to pass the
second car, and at the same time the
second car tried to pass the first. Be-
fore anyone knew what had happened
the first car had toppled over into the
ditch and landed into a pool Of water
ten feet away, pinning the four people
in the wreckage.
Fred E. Stemm, of Kenosha, who was
riding about two hundred yards be-
hind, lifted the injured from under the
wrecked car and they were taken to
st. Mary's hospital, Racine.
Three Escape Injury.
At the hospital an examination re-
vealed that Miss Accorsi was cut
about the> hands and face, and few
stitches was sufficient to take care of
her. Her injuries were not serious.
None Of the other three was injured
except through shock.
After few minutes spent in the
hospital at Racine, the Hurley people
were permitted to return to their
homes by train. In the meantime the
automobile in which they had been rid
ing was completely wrecked. and for
hours afterward scores of motorists
stopped to look things over and traf-
fic was materially slowed down because
of the willingness of many of the mo-
florists to satisfy their curiosity. The
jams got so serious that hurry call
was sent into Racine for deputies to
clear the road and keep the traffic
moving.

Clarence Harlbut of Zion was bound

probed the facts surrounding the stab

According to statements made by

iff, he and the woman had been at an
inn at Trevor drinking beer. Shortly
before a. M, just as the place was
about to close, Dix and a party of
three other men entered the place and
Joined them.
Dix suggested that he knew of a
place in Kenosha where refreshment
could be obtained all night, and asked
to accompany Harlbut and his COM
panion. When the party started he
suggested that they take Short cut"
over road which he pointed out.
They had gone q few miles when
Harlbut found that he was being fol-
lowed by another machine. He let the

Paris We'll be in Los Angeles
long before Sept. L." Lieut.. Lowell
Smith, commander Of the American
world flight said today in an inter
view with the United Press, as he and
his birdmen companions stretched
their legs aground for one of the
busiest days Of rest on record.
The aviators attended a reception
In their honor rendered by Minister
Of Aviation Eynac. They met and hob
nobbed for a while with their chief,
Gen. Pershing; they placed a-wreath
upon the tomb of the unknown sold
Ter and they wrote their names IN the
famous "book Of gold" at the Hotel
De Vile.
All the time, It was plain to see
their thoughts were on the flight.
eve are 10 days behind schedule"
Lieut.. Smith said, speculatively,
"Of course" he added quickly, 1--WE
are not racing against time but Just
to show the world that the world can
be flown.
'sAnd we've almost done It,"
Two Weeks Rest In London.
The modest, soft-spoken American
commander said that he and his com
panions were looking forward to two
weeks of real rest in London while
their planes are fitted with pontoons
for the Atlantic trip. Then there will
be no hating until they reach the
Pacific coast Of the United States.
Paris continued to shower honors
upon the airmen.
The French government will dine
the flyers tonight.
Someone advised the Americans to
spend few days in Paris "to rest up
Nothing doing" retorted Lieut..
Smith brusquely. I'VE are going right
on to London to get organized for
that Atlantic flight"
81 don't think Iceland will bother

to question:
Loath to speak Of the hardships and
adventures of their sky voyage, Dthe
army airmen admitted the hardest
part of their trip was behind them.
1T was toughest getting through
from Alaska to JAPAN" Lieut.. Smith
said. "The rest is comparatively easy"
Didn't See Other Filters.
Comparatively is right" broke in
a French aviation officer who stood
with Lieut. Smith. "Did you see our'd
Oisy, or the Britisher, MacLaren ?"
"We passed MacLaren, but didn't
see him, although understand he saw
u.s." Lieut., Smith replied.
The British flyer is just now enter
ing the dangerous passage of the
northern Pacific which the Americans
declared the most difficult part of the
world fight.
The other Americans are as tact

hosts couldn't persuade Lieut.. Eric

one handed him . glass of champagne,

American Round World
Filters Take Only Breath
ing Spell in Paris.
ARE HONORED In PARIS
American Aviators Feted and
Lauded but Not Turned from
Zeal to Move Onward.

Paris.-Tired and weary from their
18,OOO-mile battle against the air, the
United States army round-the-world
fiiers today took breathing spell in
Paris and planned to hop of for Lon
don early in the morning.
The pilots Of the three planes and
their assistants landed safely at LIE
Bourget airdrome yesterday afternoon.
They are 10 days behind their original
schedule, but with gain of II days to
their credit since they left Toxic. They
made the hop from Vienna to Paris
without difficulty and after circling
over the city and dropping flowers on
the tomb of the Unkn own Soldier at
the Arc de Triomphe, they came down
on the LIE Bourget air field and were
almost overcome by the enthusiasm OF
their reception,
"OId Glory and "Tricolor."
The stars and stripes foated in pro-
fusion beside the tricolor as far as the
eye could see at LIE Bourget. So great
were the crowds to welcome the Amer
leans that the small force Of guards at
the flying field was overwhelmed and
soon the great space was black with
people. The visiting globe encirclers
were greeted by M. Laurent Eynac, un-
dersecretary of the French air minis
try, together with many other notables.
Since leaving Los Angeles on their
historic journey, the aviators have
been in the air 260 hours. When they
arrived here, they all admitted they
were tired, but they were ready to hop
off again at a minutes notice. However,
it was the general opinion that days
rest would be of great benefit.
London and Then Start Home.
From London they will fly by way Of
the Orkney Islands, Iceland and Green
land, Labrador and Quebec, thence
back to the homeland.
The American fiiers for the moment
have displaced the Olympic heroes in
the public eye. The newspapers are
full of their exploits and their impress
sions. The attractions of Paris ap-
peared to Lieut. Smith and his col
leagues less advantageous than sleep
this morning. The orders that they
left at the desk last night were:
Don't disturb US before IL o'clock
on any pretext unless the hotel takes
fire, and not even then unless the fire
men say there is no hope"
Honor Unknown Soldier.
Soon after IL o'clock the entire party
called on M. Eynac at the air ministry.
After this visit of courtesy, 1t. Smith
went to the Arc de Triomphe and laid
q wreath on the Unknown Soldiers
tomb. Later the six aviators lunched
with Gen. John J. Pershing at one of
the Oldest and most famous restaurants
in Paris
