ing made to restrain the showing Of
a picture film depicting the fatal
flight Of the French aviator Lieut..
Leon Callot on February "a, when
the airman was attempting to fly
through an arch of the Eiffel Tower.
A magistrate who has been inveSti
eating the tragedy sent a wireless
message to the captain of the steamer
France. en- route to America, to seize
the film. as the vessel was still in
French waters.
The captain complied, and sent a
radio message that the film would be
returned to Paris when the steamer
made its trip back.
1t is alleged that the aviator at
tempted the flight for a French
American moving picture combina-
ton. The film of the accident was
rushed to Havre Immediately and
taken abroad the steamer. The
showing of the picture has already
been prohibited in France.

plane, caught in wireless apparatus
of the Eiffel Tower, crashed in flames.

he had carried out this daring at
tempt on a wager with an American
acquaintance. The Paris authorities
have taken the matter in hand for
the purpose of establishing the rea-
son for the fight, which was against
all regulations governing aviation.

MRS. SCOTT GIVEN
DIVORCE DECREE
Representatives Wife Gets
Substantial Settlement in
Lieu of AIimony.

DETROIT, March 3.-The uncon-
tested suit for divorce brought by Mrs.
Edna James Scott against Frank ID.
Scott, Representative from the eleY-
enth Michigan district, was concluded
here yesterday when Judge Dewitt II.
Merriam in Circuit Court granted the
decree.
Mrs. Scott requested permanent ali
mony In her bill. but a property set
tlement was effected in lieu thereof.
The consideration was not made pub
lie, although Ward Fl. Peck, attorney
for the plaintiff, said the settlement
was more than three times what she
was almost forced to accept a year
ago"
The quiet movement of Yesterday S
action was in marked contrast to the
bitter exchange of personalities and
charges which featured the pre- 'louS
action. Representative Scott filed
suit for divorce in 1924, and the hear
ing was begun in December. He
charged his wife with misconduct,
naming a captain in the air force
a Washington hotel clerk and an auto
mobile salesman to substantiate his
accusations.
In a cross-bill, Mrs. Scott accused
her husband of general misconduct
and of gambling for high stakes. Her
attacks named approximately 20 per
sons prominent in national political
and social circles.
! The case was postponed until Au
gust, 1925, to permit taking of deposi
tions from Washington witnesses, sew
eral of whom Mrs. Scott introduced t
disprove misconduct charges.
Judge Frank limerick of Alpena
before whom the suit and cross-bil
were heard, denied both pleas.
The SCOTS were married in SAINT;
