2 AutOists Killed
Crash with Trolley
At New Bedford, Mass

New Bedford, Mass, March 1.-WiI-
liam Bramwell of South Front street
and James Almond Of 21 Fair street,
this city, were almost instantly killed
when the machine in which they were
returning to this city from the soccer
game at Tiverton today crashed head
on into an electric car at Westport
this evening.
Joseph Higgins and Patrick H. En-
mis-, the other New Bedford men in the
machine, were removed to St. Lule's
Hospital here, seriously but not dam
gerously injured.
Almond. the owner of the machine,
was at the wheel and it is thought he
must have been blinded by the head
light of another car or in some unex-
planned manner lost control of the ma
chine.

Want to Hear Gen.
Mitchell's Answer
To Critics. Statements

Washington, March 1.--Dcspite that
it's stormy investigation must end be-
fore noon Wednesday, the House air.
craft committee plans to hold at least
one. and possibly two moro open hear
ings. Rear Admiral Bradley A. F'iske.
retired, has been called for tomorrow.
Several committee members desire
to wind up the inquiry tomorrow, but
others are of the opinion that Brig.
Gen. Mitchell, assistant army air chief,
should be given an opportunity to an
swer those who have contradicted his
statements since he VISA last on the
witness stand.
At the close Of it's hearings the COM
mittee faces the task of going through
a bulging record of testimony to draft
a report. All hope Of sitting the vast
contradictory mass in time for a re-
port to the present Congress, however,
has been abandoned and resolution
has been introduced to ask authority
to defer it until the next Congress
convenes.

Report OF the committee on
States Prison on the bill introdt,ced
by Senator Maher of Kennebcc to al
low the inmates at the Prison a..
1homaston pay for their work and
the resolve to reimburse Lester d.
Eaten, warden at the prison, in the
sum of $5697 for money which he
paid to the prisoners for their work,
and the reports of the judiciary COM
mittee on the four bills heard last
week relating to State aid for pri-
vate and sectarian schools, are ir-
cluded in the grist of important
matters which will engross the at
tention of the Solons this week.
Senator Smith OF Somerset will in
troduce early this week the COM
promise highway and bridge pro-
gram which was outlined early last
week. The measures will take care
of a four-year program. exclusive of
the Kennebec bridge, and the bonds
to be issued will he returned within
10 years. The amount of the bond
issue resolve calling for an amend
ment to the Constitution has not yet
been decided. bu- will probably be
either for $7.O00,O00 or $S.OOO,OOO.
A legislative act apportioning the
issue between the bridges and the
State roads will accompany the bond
issue resolve. The program also
carries bill for gasoline tax of
two cents without exemption, One
half cent of that tax is toy be for
maintenance of State and State-aid
roads. one cent for State-aid road
construction, and the remaining one
half cent for third class highways.
Divided reports are anticipated

Washington, March with only
two days and a half to so. the 6Sth
congress probably will not pass any
of the several important administra-
tion measures remaining on its cal
endar.
While 1t appears likely that there
will be a last minute fight over re-
clamation projects in the interior de-
partment appropriation bill, leaders
believe they will be able to dispose of
all the regular supply measures be-
fore adjournment sine die at noon,
Wednesday.
In addition, they expect to get final
action on the rivers and harbors au-
thorization bill which was passed
last night by the senate. Difference
with the house on several score
amendments remain to be adjusted,
but the big obstacles to agreement
were removed when the senate re-
fused to attach riders for the Cape
Cod Canal purchase and the Good
ing long and short haul railroad pro-
posal.
While the senate agriculture COM
mittee will undertake tomorrow to
report a farm relief bill, there Is lit
tie prospect Of enactment of the
recommendations of the presidents s
agricultural conference because OF
the differences between administra-
ton leaders and members Of the farm
block as to the form the legislation
should take.
Republican leaders favor senate
action on the Dickinson bill which
the house approved as a substitute
for the Capper- Haugen cooperative
marketing measure. but members OF
the farm bureau decided to follow
the Dickinson proposal into discard
because they agree with Chairman
Carey and other members of the
presidents conference that there had
better be no legislation than to have
this measure enacted.
Among other measures that ap-
pear doomed are the Underwood
Muscle Shoals leasing bill, the
Champion measure to reorganize the
prohibition unit, the McFadden
branch banking proposal, the $780,
900, 900 public buildings bill which has
received house approval and the An
thony migratory bird refuge measure.
Every measure that fails Of enact
ment at this session automatically
will be wiped off the congressional
calendar, and in order to get action
in the future, each must go through
all the routine of legislation machin-
cry from introduction through COM
mittee administration to adoption by
the houses.

Sister of Minister
Shoots Him to
Put Him Out of Pain

Leicester. England. March 1.-(By
A. P.)-An extraordinary tragedy, re-
viving the question of justification for
the taking of life under special cir
cumstances, occurred today in the vi
Garage of Hungerton, Leicestershire.
The vicar. the Rev. William Betti-
son, after celebrating communion this
morning returned to the vicarage for
breakfast. Later he retired to his
study, from which shortly caNe the
sound Of shot The wears sister,
Miss Bettison, who, with her brother
and housekeeper, We're the only oc-
cupants of the vicarage, went to the
study and found her brother lying on
the floor.
There is no telephone in the vicar
age, and therefore Miss Bettison went
to the post office and telephoned doc
tor who lived four miles distant. She
then returned to the vicarage and re-
entered the study, refusing TO permit
anyone else to come in. A little later
another shot was heard inside the
study and Miss Bettison came out.

he did not reply" she said / saw he
was dying in agony. so 1 shot him to
put him out of his pain"
Miss Bettison was arrested.

EXPERTS AT LOSS

New York, Mar. 1.-(By A. P.)--
Scientists labored today to deter
mine the cause and the center of
the internal disturbance which
caused the earth to roll in it's bed
last night.
Although, and indeed because.
seismographs at Fordham and Har-
ward Universities were literally ION
top of the wave, it was impossible
to determine the center here and an
appeal was made to the Oxford OBJ
servatory in Oxford. Scientists there
stated this afternoon that the quake
had been registered so imperfectly
that sufficient evidence for state-
ment did not exist. A Canadian OBJ
servatory placed the center of dis
turbance at the mouth of the Sag.
inaw river in Michigan.
K. b. Hill, in charge of seismo.
graphs at the Museum of Natural
History, stated that the tremors were
caused by the slipping of rock
mass along the line known as Los
gan's Fault to which the last earth.
quake experienced here, in 1914, was
attributed.
A recent published opinion Of DIR.
David Todd that an earthquake was
inevitable in New York because in
creased weight was constantly being,
placed upon fault" which lies in
the bed rock directly beneath the
city, was recalled. The fact that the
tide yesterday reached it's lowest
point was considered as having q
possible connection with the tremor.
Efforts to connect the quake with
the recent total eclipse were scoffed
at by scientists, who said that dam
ger OF an earthquake was least dur
ing total eclipse. -
A debated question as to whether
the skyscrapers of New York win
ever be tumbled down upon the
heads of it's millions of Inhabitants.
was renewed by the tEemors last
night. It is said that the solid bed
rock upon which the city is built
constitutes an effective safety guar
antee.
Others hold to DIR. Todd's fear of
the final cave-in of the fault. They
point out that the yawn and shud-
ders OF the earthquake last night

Berlin, Feb. 2S.-(By A. P.)-
Theatres and operas were dark
throughout Germany tonight, con-
cert halls were closed and cafe or
chestras silenced in mourning for
Germany's first president, Friedrich
Ebert. the former saddle maker of
Heidelberg, who succeeded Kaiser
Wilhelm as the chief executive of
Germany and steadied the new re-
public through six stormy years.
President Ebert died at 1915
o'clock this morning from peritonitis
after an operation for appendicitis
five days ago. His system had been
undermined by an attack of influen-
"a preceding the operation and his
heart was not equal to the burden
imposed by the poison which had
spread throughout his system.

ton. He averaged 1869 miles an

Robert McDonough was second,
and Harry Hartz fourth.
An epidemic Of tire changes and
overheated engines featured the

except a metal box, about an inch
and half square, inside of which
was a small spring. and projecting
from which there was short stub of
copper wire.
Preuster was not known to have any
enemies. although he has caused
many arrests. His most recent case
was that of man. arrested for an
alleged attempt to bribe reuster aft
