Mr.. Griffith also denied he is a

at is folly to DISCUSS my name in
connection with the presidency OF

He has absolute confidsnce In the
personnel OF the Washington club as

DEFENSE
WEAK, CLAIM

The Panama Canal would be praa-
tically powerless. and easily could
be made useless, due to inadequate
defense. In the event of an aerial
onslaught by foreign enemy, John
w. Currell. Washington inventor
today wrote to Maj. Gen. Mason M.
Patrick. chief of the Army Air Ser
vice.
The letter was written In connec
ton with the army's present study
of Canal defenses, In which work
the navy also is taking prominent
part.
According to Mr.. Currell, de.
signer OF several war inventions
accepted for use by the Govern
ment In the World War, and Idea
man" for the transcontinental
lighted airway for night mail
planes. an attacking force Of ensmy
aircraft, launched from carriers
standing well out to sea, would nG.-
lily the present system of Canal
defenses.
The carriers would be ont OF
range OF the coast defense guns,
Mr.. Currell demonstrated, and the
only weapon which might be Of
service against the enemy would be
the anti-aircraft guns, the value Of
which is dubious.
The writer also called General
Patrick's attention to the conten-
ton made by Col. William Mitchell
some years ago respecting the need
for underground munitions maya
zines. It Mitchell's advice had been
followed, Mr.. Currell stated, the
Lake Denmark arsenal disaster
couid not have occurred.

P A R IS FLIGHT
DELAYED

WESTBURY, N. r. Sept. Is
The New York-to-Paris flight will
not start unttl dawn Thursday
owing to unfavorable weather re
ports, Capt. Rene Fonck, the flight
leader announced early today.
Everything had been in readiness
for a hop.off today. but because Of
storms off the Newfoundland coast
the French ace decided to delay q
day.
The latest reports showed that
there was rain for 800 miles east
of the Grand Banks. and poor visi-
bility for another 500 miles. This
rendered the flight out of the ques-
ton. The big Sikorsky four, m
which Fonck will attempt to win
the long standing offer Of $4,000
. for the first New York-to-Paris
flight, was wheeled back into It's
shed and Captain Fonck and his
companions went home.
Before leaving the aviation field
here, Captain Fonck indicated that
there might be short test flight
today.

CLOSE CALL FOR
TWO WHEN NO. 4
SMASHES SEDAN

Two people narrowly escaped
death when a sedan in which they
were riding was struck by the sec
ond section of the Santa Fe train
number 4 at the Beaver street
crossing at Flagstaff Monday morn
ing at 6:55. According to reports
J. R. Janeway and Sam Folsom,
both of Winslow, were in charge
of the train, Folsom as conductor
and Janeway as engineer.
The train was coming down the
hill under control and slowly when
the car drove from the north on to
the track directly ahead of it. The
tender struck the left rear wheel
and showed the car about 80 feet
and over on to the other track.
Both occupants of the car, Mr..
and Mrs. John Adler of East Chi
cago, Indiana, were found lying on
their faces, unconscious, under the
right front wheel of the car by An
ton Felker. Adler's partner, who
with his wife and son in another
Buick sedan had made the crossing
just ahead of the Adler car.
Felker called people from the
train to help him lift the wrecked
automobile off the injured people.
VIM. Truckee, night operator at the
Santa Fe depot, at once phoned Dr.
M. G. Fronske, who notified Dr.
Charles Ploussard of Mercy hospi-
tai, who was soon at the scene Of
the accident and had the Adlers
taken to the hospital, where it was
found that they were not injured
beyond numerous painful bruises,
though both were suffering consid-
erably from shock.
Adler was around town in few
hours. His wife, whose back was
badly wrenched, stayed in the hos
pital two or three days.
All the glass in the windshield
and front doors was shattered, none
back of that being cracked. The
sill under one side of the body was
splintered and the battery knock
ed out and smashed, and altogeth-
er the car is pretty much of a
wreck.
The Adlers had given up their
home in the east and with the FL
kers were on their way to Los An
geles, where they may locate. Mr.
Adler is about 40, and his wife
few years younger.
Had the train been going as fast
as many of the trains do when they
hit that crossing, there is little
doubt both people in the car would
have been killed, in the opinion of
spectators. There is no watchman
at the crossing at that time, nor
any time during the night attire 5
p. M, the only protection automo-
bile drivers haying against trains
from the west, the approach of
which is hidden by buildings until
they are close to the crossing, be-
ing small luminous crossing signs
at either side of the right of way.

Champion lngrate
OF World Visited
Winslow This Week

The most ungratefu1 man in the
world 'blew" into Winslow Monday
morning, and blew out Monday af
ternoon with the admonition from
the lips of Cahrlie Harp, city mar
shal, that the blowing OUT process
was not OF extend over a period
of ten minutes.
A Mexican woman appealed to
the city marshal asking that he re-
cover watch stolen from her lit
tie boarding house by stranger
who appeared about noon Monday
and asked for food. His personal
appearance advertised the fact that
Z he was a knight of the road. His
extreme youth excited the sympa-
thy of the kindly old Mexican lady,
who poured forth her generosity
until the ravenous appetite of the
wandering boy had been appeased.
Shortly after his departure an old
watch, a masterpiece of the watch
makers art of many years ago was
missing. It's intrinsic value would
scarcely total three German marks,
but it had been a valued keepsake
of several generations past, and
was therefore priced by the kind
hearted old Sonora.
Harp rounded up several young
men who bore evidence of recent
contact with the open road, and the
young man who had accepted the
humble hospitality of the old lady
was Immediately identified by her.
He denied having taken the watch,
but when searched by the marshal
the timepiece was found.
A lecture on gratitude was de-
livered by Mr. Harp, who conclud-
ed by asking the migrate which way
he was travelling.
West" the abashed young man
replied
well, that's west" the marshal
admonished, pointing down Second
street, "and don't let it take you
over ten minutes to get out and stay

their own game and time after time
threw the throng into fits OF pas
sion by their masterful handling Of
the elusive oblong with numb ting
ers caused from the sudden drop in
the temperature here.
Coach Lynch's proteges appeared
to be stage struck and frightened
by the invading Braves. They FUN
bled the ball at crucial times, thus
cutting down their chances of run
ming up the score. The Northerns
made their lone tally in the closing
minutes Nof the second quarter
through a pass from Wilson to Pat
ton, with Captain Wilson converting
for the extra point.
The Braves in the last stanza
took the defense and the game be-
came kicking duel between Cap
tain Wilson Of the Lumberjacks and
Bread of Phoenix. The Indians
were unable to penetrate the for
ward wall of the Flagstaff Teach
ers. During the entire last half
they only made one first down
while the Lumberjacks hammered
their wall for eight.
Bread and Lewis starred for the
Indians with Captain Wilson Tor
the Teachers. Wilson got off some
long punts in the afternoons play,
