Cause of Fatal Act Of NJ. E.
Crumpacker Of Oregon
Puzzles Friends

San Francisco, July 25.--(R-The
cause of breakdown which led Rep
rescntativc NJ. E. Crumpackcr Of
Oregon to end his own life yesterday
by plunging into San Francisco bay
remained a mystery among his
friends today.
Crumpacker, who was serving his
second term in congress. had been
acting strangely since his arrival
here Friday, as member of the
party of Representative Nicholas
Longworth, speaker Of the house,
who is touring the west.
Goes for Stroll
Thomas Smart, newspaper man,
who was with Crumpacker when he
plunged into the bay, said he found
him wandering about in the lobby Of
a hotel. Smart took him to the home
of friend where he slept for sew
eral hours, but became restless and
asked Smart to accompany him on a
stroll.
Smart said that when they came
to the Golden Gate ferry slip, Crum-
packer showed him aside and after
shouting IBID everyone goodbye"
leaped into the water.
Fights Rescuers
Witnesses said Crumpacker, who
weighed about 240 pounds. struggled
with rescuers and that a rope had
to be placed about his shoulders. He
was unconscious when pulled out of
the water. Efforts to revive him
with pulmotor failed.
Victim of DelusiOn
A suicide note. apparently written
by Congressman Crumpacker Of Port
land, shortly before he leaped te
his death. was found today and in.
dicated that he was suffering under
the delusion that he was victim Of
plot.
The note read in part:

FIGHTS FIRE
Worlds Record Dashed When
Battered Paragraphs Show
5000 Feet Short
ON DESCENT
Lieut.. Champion Plans to
Jump, But Decides to
Save Records

Washington, July .25.-(P--After
battling flames on his airplane to
protect the records Of an unofficial
worlds record altitude flight, esti-
mated at $4,000 feet, Lieutenant c. C.
Champion, naval flyer, received the
stunning news from the bureau of
standards today that on preliminary
reading, his battered Paragraphs
would only show $4,000 feet.
Unless revised readings should
change this result. Champion must,
for the present at least, leave to Cal
lizo, the Frenchman, the official
honor of having flown highest-4O,-
$50 feet.
The Paragraphs were damaged by
the fire which broke out on the plane
during Champions descent, and he
riskcd his life by remaining with the
plane in order that he might save
them.
Lands in Cornfield.
Fighting the blaze with his own
hands to save his precious recording
instruments, Champion landed in a
cornfield two miles from the naval
air station at Anacostia, after having
been aloft less than two hours.
The blaze broke out as Champion
was descending.
Champion holds the unofficial rec
ord for altitude in u seaplane, hav-
ing reached a height of 33,455 feet.
Champions battle for his life was
spectacular one. Several pistons
were completely torn out of his en-
ginc.
Prepares to Jump
On the descent, the engine caught
fife on four different occasions and
at one time the pilot was halfway
out Of the cockpit preparing to
jump. When he thought Of his baro-
graphs, however, he decided to re-
main with the ship. The jump would
have meant the crashing of the plane
and the probable complete destruc-
tion of the instruments.
Flames were shooting out of the
engine front as the flyer made a
f, beautiful landing in the cornfield in
the little Wright Apache" plane.

of transportation effort is going to
be required this fall to move the

DIVORCE is DENOUNCED

New York, July 25.--lP)-Asserting
that the fashionable church wedding
is often "vulgar as we'll as pagan.'
The Rev. DR.. Caleb r. Stetson, rector
OF Trinity Episcopal church, writing
on the year book of Trinity parish,
also denounces easy divorce as tend
ing toward progressive polygamy
and respectable promiscuity."
"Only those who believe in the
Christian ideal of marriage should
have the right to be married in
church," he writes.
ut would strengthen our position
and contribute to the permanence of
marriage If the church as whole
should refuse Christian marriage to
those who ARE not our people and
who merely want church wedding
or who like the beauty Of our mar
riage service. Such people should be
told that they should have civil
marriage.
Display of Wealth
"Thc fashionable church wedding is
often vulgar as we'll as pagan. The
church is turned over to a florist
who does his hest to take away every
appearance Of the holy place from
'suG S0uCtuaAy duu W 0OtCItlSS tuS
wealth of the contracting parties.
"Often one hears of such weddings
where Orchestras are engaged to en-
tertain the spectators and crowds
gather in the streets to catch 6
glimpse of the bride, of whom they
know nothing except that shc,is rich
There is no excuse for the use OF
the church for such display. It were
far better if such weddings tool
place IN u hall where an adequate
entertainment could be given"
Following Russia
Warning that increase in divorce il
threatening breakdown in family
life, DR.. Stetson said that propaganda
for freer divorce might bring this
c0untry to the legalization of trial
marriages or the granting of divorces
on mere applications as in soviet
Russia.
