IN TALIAFERRO ACTION
Lieut.. Caskey Charges Apartment
Rented From Commissioner
Was Uninhabita BILE.

Lieut. Floyd G. Caskey, U, S. n. r.,
of S14 Somerset place, has filed in
the Municipal Court plea for a jury
trial of the suit for $3.50 rent brought
against him by Sidney +. Taliaferro.
District Commissioner and owner of
the Carlo apartment at 1475 Spring
place. Lieut.. Caskey denies that he
occupied the apartment during the
months of April, May, June and July.
which is the period covered by the
suit.
Commissioner Taliaferro sued for
the four months rent under an agree
ment for the apartment. In resisting
the claim, Lieut.. CaskeY asserts that
he was ''evicted by plaintiff" during
the month of March by his failure
to keep the premises occupied by me
in a habitable condition due to lack
Of heat supplied and on account of
premises being almost constantly cold
and diSa grecable."
The defendant says he made daily
complaint of lack of heat to the Jani-
tor in December, 1926, and also made
oral and written complaint to Conn
missioner Taliaferro. He was forced
to vacate the apartment, he tells the
court.

to repair the landing gear of a Martin

and the final determination Of the
pilot to land the huge twin-engined
plane in the ocean near the beach, is
described in a communication just re
Ceivod by the Air Corps from Luke
Field. Hawaii, home station of the
participants.
On the morning of June % Lieut..
George b. Polk, jr., took off from the
field as member of a five ship
bombardment formation sent out to
deliver a simulated attack on one of
the Hawaiian Islands. Immediately
after taking the air, Lieut.. Polk real
lied that his landing gear was
damaged to such an extent that a
safe landing was out of the question.
He circled the field. dropped a message
asking for spare parts and then re-
sumed his place in the formation,
which proceeded to carry out its mis-
sion.

Lieut. Hewitt Schneeberser and
Lieut.. j. ID. Givens were detailed to
make the aerial transfer of the parts.

attempted to drop the supplies by
means of rope. This, however,
proved to be impossible, SO Lieut..

began the task. Below them was

against them
The two found. however. that the
damage was too great for emergency
repairs even on the ground, so they
returned to the cockpit and informed
Lieut.. Polk Of that fact.
Flyers Rescued.
Lieut. Polk saw no other aIterna tive
than landing in the sea as close to
shore as possible. Endeavoring to save
the parachutes, he flew over Luke
Field and dropped them. One Of the
chutes, however. caught in the pro-
peller of the left engine and both were
put out of commission
With only one engine left. the plane
began to lose altitude, and Lieut.. Polk
realized he had no spare time to dis
play his landing technique. He headed
the nomber for the water. 1t hit with
terrific force, turned over and spilled
its three occupants into the sea They
were rescued unhurt n few minutes
later by boats from shore.
