NEW YORK.-(By Mail.)-May Day
was fittingly celebrated in the Bronx
by an ample supply of detectives of
the bomb squad, REINFORCED by a
large group Of policemen, including
lieutenants and sergeants.
The night before May Day the
Bronx section headquarters at 1347
Boston Road, was visited by two de-
tectives Of the bomb squad, who, after
asking if we had ANY more guns,
also where we obtained our May
Day leaflets, took those that were
there, and after obtaining the names
and addresses of the chairmen of the
several meetings that were in pro-
press, departed.
All afternoon, May 1, policemen
were at the headquarters to prevent
any indoor meetings, for they said
we could stay there as long as we
did not start a meeting.
An open air meeting was held at
Prospect avenue and 163rd street, In
spite of the drizzly weather, a crowd
of several hundred workers was pres
ent, also eight policemen, including
lieutenant.
Comrade Nathan Lillienstein acted
as chairman and was followed by Com

20 KILLED IN
TRAIN WRECK
Many Injured When Passen'
ger Train Rolls Down a
4O.fOOt Embankment

Memphis, Tenn, Oct. 27.-(R-
Twenty dead and more than 80 in
jured was the known toll taken when
the Sunnyland, fast St. Louis and
San Francisco passenger train, left
the rails today near Victoria, Missis-
sippi, and tumbled into a tangled
mass down 4O-foot embankment.
At least 90 persons were killed
outright or died before a relief train
could reach the scene and possibly
twice that number were injured.
The train, travelling at about SO or
GO miles an hour, apparently spread
the track about 200 feet from a 40
foot trestle. The engine cleared the
trestle, as did the first baggage
coach. The engine did not leave the
track. Three baggage coaches and
nine day coaches and Pullmans made
up the train.
All coaches except the last Pull
man rolled down the 4O-foot embank-
ment.
The three day coaches were a
tangled mass Of wreckage. One of
them dived headlong into the clay
bank by the side of the track and
the others rolled and jammed as they
struck the bottons, piling the occu-
pants to the tops and ends of the
cars.
Few of the passengers sleeping in
the last three Pullmans suffered
serious injury and it was these who
directed the rescue and first aid
work before relief trains arrived.
H. B. Haerring, engineer, said the
first intimation he had of the i'm
pending wreck, was when he heard
the air connection between the tender
and baggage car snap. "As looked
back saw my train telescope and
crash down the embankment," Haer-
ring said. At the time the train, ac-
cording to the engineers statement,
was travelling at between As and SO
miles an hour.
All available ambulances and doc
tors from Memphis and TOWNS near
Victoria were pressed into service,
and the injured were rushed to
Memphis. The dead and dying were
taken to a nearby school house, con-
verted into temporary hospital.
Rescue work was continued during
the day as train crews and rescue
workers dug about the wrcckage and
cut away doors, searching for vic.
Tins.

my berth when I felt a jar" said
Edward Connor of Minneapolis.

was leaning against an cmbankment.

Route of the
Meridian Highway
May Be Changed

Change in the route of the Meri-
dian highway through Trail county
may be made as the result of re-
quest by Trail county citizens to
the state highway commission.
The project was laid along the
route designated by the county
commissioners and under an agree
ment between Trail and Grand
Forks counties, the two counties
were to split their share Of the cost.
Now citizens Of Buxton want the
route changed to pass through that
town. The highway commission has
indicated its willingness to make
the change if the Traill county COM
missioners ask that such action be
taken.

Various Interests
Seeking Repeal of
Nearly All Taxes

Washington, Oct. 27.-CP)-Bids
for portions Of the treasury's $780,
100000 tax reduction melon continue
to pile up before the house ways and
means committee. Taxpayers repre-
senting various interests sought re.
lief from more of the speclal ievles,
a majority Of them pressing for out
right repeal of the taxes in the new
revenue measure which the commit
tee will start drafting next week.
With today's appeals, the commit
tee now has been asked to repeal al
most every miscellaneous tax now
levied, a program which would mean
a reduction Of probably several times
the total of 100000, 900 recommends
ed by Secretary Mellon.
He suggested that $l4O,OOO,0O0 of
this be allotted to reduction Of the
income rates.
While the committee appears to
favor repeal Of as much of the mis-
cellaneous tax burden as possible.
Representative Treadway, Republican
OF Massachusetts, and Garner, Demo-
crat of Texas, pointed out that there
lis a limit and if all appeals were
granted the government would find
itself with virtually no revenues.

Military Branches Pay Heaviest Price For Progress the
Air-Mail Fliers Cover $500 Miles Per Day
With But One Fatality

army fliers in similar crash in
Texas last spring.
An airplane in Alaska went astray
in Il snow storm and came down with
its three occupants, all of whom were
killed. A navy plane fell into the
Potomac River and killed its pilot
a tragedy apparently due to unfavor-
able weather conditions rather than
to any defect in the machine. An
arplane hit truck in landing at an
Ohio flying field and two men were
killed.
Probably the best testimony to the
safety which attends aviation when
the equipment is up-to- date and the
pilots are properly trained is to be
found in the record Of the airmail
service, with only one death and a
few minor accidents despite its con-
tinuous day and night service under
all sorts Of weather conditions. Air
mail pilots average Il total of 1900
miles per day.
Commercial aviation concerns of
standing, such as the Glenn l.. Martin
Co.. the Curtiss Co., and the Ford
freight lines, also have made their
flights with IA remarkable absence Of
mishaps.
TO lessen the number of tragedies
in civilian flying, rigid government
supervision Of this branch Of avia-
tion has been sought. Commercial
air men want an aviation bureau es-
tablshed in the Department of Com
merce, with careful inspection SER
vice, enforcement of safety rules, and
various other functions to be per-
formed.
The question Of whether too high
a price is being paid in human lives
by the military branches for such
progress as they are making. and if
so, how the evil should be remedied.
are outstanding issues in the series Of
flurrics raised by the Mitchell case.

lives have been lost in the develop
ment of Americas primary and c"n
mercial aviation during the year 1925
A check-up of all accidents since
the first day of January reveals this
as the price the nation has been pay
ing for it's ventures in the clouds.
Fourteen of the G3 lost their lives
in the crash of the navy airshir
Shenandoah. The other 40 were
killed in airplane disasters.
OF these 40, 25 were army or navy
men. Supporters Of Colonel William
Mitchell point to this heavy toll as
evidence Of the truth Of Mitchell's
argument that our military aviatOrs
are forced to risk their lives in dan
gerous equipment.
The airmail, with thousands of
miles of daily flight to its credit, in
1925 has lost but one man-Pilot
Charles Amcs, who died in crash
Oct. 2, near Bellefonte, Pa.
Twenty-three of the years aviation
victims to date were civilians.
"Stunt" flying cost many of these
lives, with other fatalities laid to
flights by men who had not suffi-
ciently mastered the science of avia-
ton, or who set out in faulty planes.
One of the latest civilian victims
was an air performer at county fairs.
His parachute failed to open.
Among the military fatalities, all
sorts of causes are listed. Some seem
undoubtedly due to structural defects
in planes, as in the case of the three
men who lost their lives recently
when an obsolete honeymoon ex-
press" plane came down in flames
near New Salem, Pa.
Two deaths in Hawaii were caused
by a collision of planes in mid-air.

parachutes saved the lives Of two
