HOOVER LAUDS FITZPATRICK.
Secretary Shocked to Learn OF Sudden
Death.

Secretary Hoover. Vice Chairman
Fieser of the Red Cross and others
who had been closely associated with
Earl Fitzpatrick in flood relief work at
Memphis were shocked on learning
today of the tragic death Of the Red
Cross official.
"It is a great blow to me-" Mr..
Hoover said this morning. "He was
head of our reconstruction division
and one of our most able workers"
'In his death the Red Cross has
lost one Of its strongest men," Mr..
Fieser announced. 1T is difficult to
realize that the man with whom /
planned many details of flood relief
work only a few days ago should be
the victim Of a plane crash. In in
tellect, courage and ability he stood
on an equal plane with the best. In
these brief weeks during the Missis-
sippi flood he had won the respect,
admiration and affection of many hun
dreds of State and local leaders in
Red Cross relief work and in the
business world"
Had Valued Experience.
Kilpatrick, by his indefatigable de-
yotion to duty at disaster relief head
quarters in Memphis, had earned the
reputation OF being one or the most
efficient members of the great relief
organization. 1t was under his per.
sonal direction that the rescue OF
thousands of refugees was effected in
Arkansas and Missouri. and he had
charge of all subsequent relief meas
ures instituted in those States. under
Relief Director Baker.
Fitzpatrick came to the Red Cross
during the war as manager OF the
Northwestern division at Seattle.
When this division was discontinued
he returned to the University OF
Oregon as director Of its extension
service, with headquarters In Port
land. He obtained leave of absence
from this work in 1921 to join the Red
Cross as assistant director of relief
for the Pueblo flood. He was director
of relief for the Astoria, Ore. fire
disaster and was assistant director
in charge of activities during the Mid
western tornado in 1925.
Was As Years Old.
After the tornado task was com
pleted he resigned from the university
to become permanently associated with
the Red Cross, and went to Florida
during the hurricane disaster as as
sistant director of ali relief work.
He had been a prominent figure In

ANNAPOLIS, Md, April 3O.--Tn a

Navy crews easily won three Of the
four races with Penn here this after
noon. Only in the 150+pound event
were Quaker oarsnnen victorious.
In the varsity event, tine Annapolis
oarsmen led their opponents over the
entire course of one and five-sixteenths
miles, finishing f.ull five lengths in the
van. Their time was minutes and 50
seconds against 6 minutes and At Sec

Setting a. terrific pace, Tom Eddie,
the middle stroke. easily got his crew
off to a flying start, keeping ore or
two lengths ahead of the Quakers
until two-thiTIis of the course had been
covered. AT this point the Red and
Blue made a vain effort to catch UP.
but were quickly distanced again as
the sailors stepped their stroke notch
higher.
Navy juniors won their event bv a
scant two lengths in the most in.
teresting event of the day. From thS
start it was nip and tuck, NAVY main

Not until the midpoint was passed
did the visitors weaken and the fsavy
crew drew slowly ahead, completing
the course in minutes and So seconds.
The plebes. who covered the course
in 6:46, carried off their IauFels with
as much ease as the varsity anO in
only II seconds slower time. At no
time during the event were they
threatened by the visiting freshmen,
who finished 6 lengths behind in an
apparently exhausted condition.
Penn 150-pounders chalked up the
only victory of the day for their alma
mater, winning by a scant two lengths
in minutes and seconds.
In all other events the Penn efghts
were apparently much inferior In
stamina and technique. All the Penn
juniors outweighed their sailor oppo-
nents, while the Navy varsity had an
