Without Warning

The crash occurred during a game
between the lewiston Auburn and
Augusta team and came as the
home team went to bat in the eighth
inning. The bleachers along the first
base line suddenly crumpled without
warning and confusion became gen.
eral. several women in the other
stand and in the grandstand fainting.
There was a general rush of men
to the struggling mass OF humanity,
Intent on lending aid. +. ID. Tribou
of Augusta, one of the first to reach
the collapsed structure said that at
first glance 1t appeared that several
had been crushed to death. He. with
others including several doctors, be-
gan the work OF getting the injured
out of the mass. Some, apparently
dead were worked over by the doctors
and were brought back to conscious
ness having been struck in the head
by falling timbers.
The greater number escaped UNI
hurt. others received minor scratches
while at least three received broken
legs. One of the largest crowds ever
to attend a game in the park was
present and it was probably due to
the unusual weight on the blcachers
which caused the collapse.

Nominee Davis
TO Give Labor Day
Address i'm w. VIRGINIA

Locust Valley. n. Y, Aug. 1S.-John
W. Davis will start his long westward
trek with second address in his home
state. 1t will be delivered at Wheel
ing on Labor Day at a meeting held
under the auspices of the Ohio Valley
Trade and Labor Assembly.
In deciding to expound his views on
labor in West Virginia the Democratic
presidential candidate ran counter to
the wishes Of some of his political
advisers who expressed apprehension
mat such an carly return to his native
heath might be viewed as an evidence
that he regarded the state as a very
doubtful one
While giving careful weight to the
advice thus received, Mr.. Davis decid-
ed to accept the invitation because he
wishes to speak face to face with la
boring men from a number of states
and the Wheeling assembly will afford
him that opportunity.
From Wheeling, Mr.. Davis will
strike into the middle west for several
speeches before crossing the MISSISSIPPI
p river into tiic northwest. Just how
many addresses will be delivered in
the west remains TO be determined. Mr..
Davis is being urged to visit the Pa
cific coast. Democrats of California
and the other coast states are anxious
to have Mr.. Davis make a few
Speeches on the coast, it is said.

strongly of law enforcement saying
that it was considered now that a

of the Republican platform and adj

respect.
Governor Baxter followed Senator

very popular in Piscataquis county

DAMAGED PLANES
AGAIN STOP HOP
OF u. S. AIRMEN

Reykjavik, Iceland, Aug. 1S.-(By A.
P)-Lieut. Lowell H. Smith and Lieut..
Erik Nelson suffered another setback
in their world fight today when they
attempted to start on the long-deferred
hop from Reykjavik to Greenland. Both
their planes were so badly damaged as
to necessitate 1t least three more days
delay.
Carrying heavy loads of fuel, as it
was the intention to fy more than 500
Atlantic to Frederickdal. the machines
refused to leave the water. Repeated
efforts were made to rise, and the
strain caused the breaking of the
spreader bar OF Lieut.. Smiths plane,
while the propeller of Lieut.. Nelson's
plane was shattered.
Already chatting under their forced
stay at Reykjavik, this misfortune
came as a heavy blow to the aviators,
but, accustomed to the uncertainty of
flying, they soon became reconciled to
further delay and are now anXiously
awaiting the arrival of the cruiser
Richmond, which is hurrying here with
spare parts for the planes.
1t is not expected however, that the
Richmond will reach here before
Wednesday. AS soon as :he cruiser is
anchored, the necessary parts will be
brought ashore and the 1liers will set
TO work Immediately making the re-
pairs so as to be ready to start again
as soon as the patrolling vessels report
favorable flying conditions.

Return of French

morrow and the chamber of deputies
Thursday reinforced by an unmis-
taxable expression of popular reJoic-
ing over the settlement of the London
conference and what the French peo-
pie believe to be the return OF
Frances foreign policy to real peace
footing.
Since Clemenceau relinquished
power never has q premier been so
enthusiastically greeted on returning
from an inter allied conference as
was NJ. Herriot this evening.
The premier will have to endure
debate in the chamber lasting two,
perhaps three, weeks. as already eight
important interpretations are sched-
uled, and in addition. eight prominent
orators are on the list for speeches.
After the chamber debate the SEN
ate must be dealth with. and former
Premier Poincare will take the floor.
His speech. while likely to be for
midable, is not likely to cause the
upper house to deviate from the
chambers course in voting confidence,
which already is taken as fOregone
conclusion. even among the premier's
would be successors.

Laughter Grips
Crowd at Hearing
Loeb and Leopold

Chicago, Aug. 1S.-CBy a. P.)-
The judicial hearing by which is to
be determined the fate of Nathan +.
Leopold, Jr., and Richard A. Loeb,
confessed murderers of Robert
Franks. went from the serious to
the comic today and wound up in a
gale of laughter.
Throughout the morning session
Clarence s. barrow, chief Of defense
counsel, fenced adroitly with DR.. II.
Douglas Singer, alienist for the state,
as he tried to obtain from the eX-
pert admissions that "Schizophrenic''
or split" personalities were neces-
'sarily subjects of mental disease.
This afternoon, DR.. William o.
krohn, last witness for the state and
probably for the hearing, recited at
length the observations and reasons
for declaring the defendants men,
tally sound and then got into a ham,
mer and tongs exchange with Ben
Jamln Bacrach of defense counsel,
VINO began his cross examination of
the states ace.
Frequently the doctors replies to
the staccato fire of questions about
his qualifications as an expert
brought laughter from the crowd.
once Judge Caverly admonished
both to refrain from byplay.
Inc days developments served to
bring the case appreciabIy closer to
It's end. Mr.. Darrow said tonight
that defense probably would con-
GUIDE its cross examination of DIR.
Nrohn tomorrow and would offer no
further testimony. Robert f.
CroWe states attorney, announced
mat unless there were unexpected
overnight developments. DIR. Khorn
would be his last witness. If this
program is carried out, closing argu-
menus may be started at the We'd
nesday session.
Each side is expected to consume
at least two days in presenting its
summing up arguments. Judge Cav
erly has not indicated when he NAV
render Judgment. A fortnight ago
ne said he would shut himself into
ms study for several days to go over
the entire record Of the five weeks
