Belfast Man Gets

Especial to the Kennebec JournaD
Belfast, Sept. eft was rather a
narrow escape that Fred o. Jordan
of Belfast had today when he lit his
pipe for his after dinner smoke, on his
way down town in his car he filled his
pipe taking the tobacco loosely from
his pocket. After pressing it firmly
down he struck match and lit up.
Bang! The thing blew into a hum
dred pieces, soaring the man half to
death scratching his face and SO daz-
ing him that after he stopped his car
and got out he fell over semicon-
sciouS.
He had put into his pipe unknown
ingly a 80 caliber cartridge which
was in the same pocket with the to-
bacco and it wasn't a good mixture.
He was able after few minutes,
however to go on his way and attend
to his afternoons work. but 1t was
narrow escape and the pipe was

MITCHELL REPEATS
HIS CHARGES BEFORE
AIRCRAFT COURT

Washington, Sept. 29.-(AP)-An-
other verbal bombardment was let
loose on the heads of the war and
navy departments today by Colonel
William Mitchell, who already faces
possible courtmartial proceedings for
previous utterances on American Air
policies.
Appearing before the Presidents
air board, the former assistant army
air chief, apparently undisturbed by
the almost certain disciplinary action
to follow, emphatically reiterated his
demand for a sweeping reorganiza-
ton of the system of the national
defense, which when first proposed
nine months ago, brought upon him
an outpouring of official condemna-
ton.
His appearance brought him face
to face with the very body created
largely as result of his San An
tonic statements in which he charg-
ed that almost criminal negligence"
was displayed by those directing the
army and navy air services.
After being on the stand for more
than four hours, during which he read
a majority of the eight constructive
articles he had prepared, the board adj
1ourned until tomorrow, when the wit
ness will conclude his testimony with
an oral destructive" argument which
he was unable to give today because
of fatigue and a shortage of time.
Doubling whether the board wanted
to hear certain portions of his argu-
ments. Colonel Mitchell was assured
that he could put everything in the
record" that he desired.
Briefly, the officer, who recently was
relieved of active duty at his San An
tonic post. advocated creation of a de-
partment of national defense in which
equal status would be given sub-di-
visions of land, sea, and air. He pre-
dicted this recommendation upon
which he said was the necessity for
greater attention to aviation as a
means of national defense and upon
the need of improving the air services,
the condition of which he described as
inadequate and deplorable."
Entering the committee room while
the first witness, Lieutenant Colonel
Benjamin d. Fowles, commandant of
Mitchell Field, l.. l., was directing a
heated attack on the army general
staff for alleged Ignorance" of air
service needs and policies. Colonel
Mitchell was greeted with brief out
burst of handclapping. which subsid-
ed as quickly as 1t began when
Dwight w. Morrow, board chairman,
raped for order.
The board suspended work for sew
eral minutes while a battery of pho
tographers snapped the colonel as he
spread a large chart on the table, di-
rected the placing of three foot
globe at his right and otherwise ar
ranged himself to testify.

LAF0LLETTE'S SON
ELECTED TO Senate
BY WIDE MARGIN

Milwaukee, Wis, Sept. 29-(AP)-
Robert NJ. LaFollette, Jr., in being
elected overwhelmingly to a seat in
the United States senate here today,
not only rolled up ma ority in eX-
cess of 10000 votes, but he carried
70 out of the II counties in the state.
With less than rs precincts miss
ing, all of which are in the outlying
wooded districts of the state where
telephone facilities are few and the
vote light, the record shows that
young Bob carried counties by ma
joritieS that were unheard of before.
Kenosha county, home of the Cool
idge Stalwart Republican wing of the
party in the state, went over to the
opposition, LaFollette carrying it by
a plurality over Dithmar of ZIG
votes. The vote there stood: LaFol-
lette 1876; Dithmar 3160.
This was not the only county in
the first district formerly the strong
hold of the regulars to so over to the
nan who endorsed the platform of
the LaFollette-W Wheeler party of
1924. Racine county capitulated to
the new 30-year- old senator by a
vote of 530S for him to 31Sy for Dith-
mar. Walworth county, still another
in the district, saw LaFollette a
winner, the county being 2371 for
the new senator, to 1884 for Dithmar.
Standing alone in all the state, Rock
county came through for Dithmar.
The vote there was 1894 tor Dithmar
and 1889 for LaFollette.
But in the western, the northern,
the central and northeastern section
LaFollette rolled up ma jorities that
astOunded even his own henchmen.
A heavy rainstorm that started
early in the afternoon all over the
north end OF the state making roads
impossible and dwelling wires, &C
counted for the missing precincts not
being able to report tonight.

The Scion Hotel was saved and

in frantic haste and remain below
for periods of 45 minutes several
times during the day.
At dawn tomorrow the Monarch
and Century, the derrick equipped
lighters, are due at the scene of the
disaster to make another attempt to
bring the submarine to the surface.
Meanwhile the divers have CON
nected air lines to the wreck to
force the water out and tighten the
craft. At the present time it seems
an impossible task for the divers to
enter the forward and aft compart-
ments where. it is believed, most of
the crew will be found.
