TWin'S Peculiar ESCaDe

New York, Sept. 21 tPl-A spec ial charm seems to guard the life of Captain John R. Irwin. |. $. A, originally picked as the radio operator of the Sikorsky plane on it's New York-Paris flight.
 Captain Irwin withdrew from the expedition when the contro- versy developed over whether Cap tain Homer M. Berry was to be taken along as an assistant pilot
 The escape was the second of it's nature for Captain Irwin in the last several years. He had been picked as radio operator of the ill- fated dirigible Akron on it's pro- posed transatlantic flight. but was left behind when the dirigible ex- ploded over Atlantic City on a test flight. Five occupants of the bal loon were killed.
 Captain Irwin also served in the same capacity on both the We'll man and Vanneman ill-fatcd polar flights in 1910 and 1912.
 He also was a wireless operator at Siasconset, Mass. on duty when distress signals were received from the steamer Florida in collision with the Republic off Nantucket in 1909. This was the first time wire less was used to rescue victims of a marine disaster.

Reduce Age Limit for
 Two Classes at Y. M C. A.

| pon recommendation of Clarence Ii. Barnes, general secretary of the New Britain '. NJ. c. A.. the board of directors of the organization to- day voted to reduce the age limit which has been in existence for more than twenty years and the present age limits have been reduced to ten years of age. as a member of the boys department and seventeen as the age limit for the senior mem bership. This was done in order that the organization might serve more boys and at the same time not keep older boys in the younger division.
 Mr. Barnes also stated in his re- port that 150 had joined the associa- ton during the past year, bringing the present membership up to 1175. He further stated that the coming season promised to be the most suc- Cessful since the war and that the past summer activities had been re- ceiyed by the members to a gratify- ing degree. Eight delegates had been sent to the state industrial confer CnCc at Camp HaZen the latter part of June and one delegate had been sent 10 the Silver Bay industrial con- ference.
 He also reported that the indus trial council, under Shnrrod F. Skin ner had planned an extensive pro- gram for the coming year and re- viewed the past season with enthusi- asm. Educational classes are also being planned this year on a larger scale than the past season, Barnes added in his report.

DEATH TOLL SEEMS LIKELY ID GROW
Continued from First Page)


 10 a. m. that the tropical storm was central short distance west of Mobile and was swcrving toward New Orleans but diminishing in in- tensity.
 Hurricane warnings were display ed by St. Louis, Miss, and Burr wood, La.
 No Deaths at Mobile
 Confirmation of reports that there had been no loss of life at Mobile came from the Louisville and Nashville railroad headquarters here today with the opening of a wire into the storm stricken city.
 Communication with Pensacola, Fla, remained cut off and no defi- nite word had come since early Monday morning.
 Railroad officials at Mobile said that the city had not been seriously damaged.
 storm is Abating
 The storm, which struck the east coast of f7lorida Saturday and hit Pensacola and Mobile yesterday, left in it's wake a trail of dead and heavy property damage on the Gulf coast west of Pcnsa- cola. Winds were re- ported 100 miles an hour at Pensa- cola while Mobiles latest reports said it reached 9o miles there. To- days reports indicate the storm was slachening. A train was rounted from Montgomery to Mobile today but railroad officials doubted its success.
 Fishermen Possibly Lost
 Although it was said there was TO loss of life in Mobile and that precautionary measures had saved the city from loss of life, fear was expressed for several fishermen who were on Mobile Bay when the storm broke. Another report from Mobile over a shaky wire. usable few sec onds. said the telephone office and many other buildings had been un- rooted and many plate glass win dows smashed.

New Britain herald., 1926-09-21

Captain Rene Fonck, French ace, today won a hand-to-hand skir- mish with death that came as near to being fatal as any of his 126 successful encounters with enemy planes during the World war.
 The aviator who jumped from a wrecked plane this mornin. just before it burst into flames, leaped into fame one day late in the spring of 1918 before an audience of American troops.
 Shot Down Six Planes
 The American infantry and ar ullcry of the First division were burrowed in shell holes in what was known as the Montdidier sec tor, in front Of Beauvais. just aft CT the March drive of the Ger mans. Overhead they saw six Ger man planes shot down within an hour and half.
 A few days later they learned that these planes had been shot down by one man, Second Lieu tenant Rene Fonck, of the French air service.
 France acclaimed him immedi- ately as her ace of aces and a few days later the nations enthusiasm knew no bounds when he repeated his feat.
 Thereafter for many of the French the war consisted in a game whose greatest interest was the rapidly climbing score of air planes shot down by Rene Fonck, of his promotion to first lieutenant and to a captaincy and his acqui- sition of new medals.
 Is 32 and Single
 The French ace is 32, blond, un- married, humorist, diplomat and sportsman. He is a native of AL sace in the Vosges mountain re- zion, and entered the French army as an engineer. During the war he transferred to the aviation corps. After the war he entered politics, and was elected deputy from the department of the Nosges at the age of 25.
 He learned 10 ski on the ice clad winter slopes of the Nosges mountains, plays tennis. swims and dances. He avoids night clubs on the grounds that he is "a knowing young man" and declares that he has been too busy to marry, al- though he acknowledges that he has received many proposals from young ladies willing to be the wife of an international hero.
 Five years ago he pictured be- fore the dignitled faculty of Sor- bOnne university young woman of fashion crossing the Atlantic by airplane some time in the future. Of the attempted flight that ended today in disaster he said recently:
 Reasons for Flight
 q am making the flight for the S25,000 Raymond Orteig prize, but the real reason is to bring France and the United States closer to- gether and show the practicabilty of opening transatlantic air route.''

Bids Low, City Refuses
 To Sell Seized Plots

Overlook avenue land seized by the city for back taxes and placed in the market was not as eagerly seiz- ed upon as city officials anticipated. only two bids being received, each of which offered one third the amount due the city plus the court costs.
 Tax Collector Loomis advertised the land for sale and announced no bid under s150 would be consider ed. Robert Feiffer and Anton Petrauskas offered $50 for the three lots and James Passerini pre- sented bid of S52.51. After con- ference with Corporation Counsel J. II. kirkham, Collector Loomis an- nounced today the land will be held by the city until the market is more favorable
