HENRY FORD HAS HIS
FIRST AIRPLANE RIDE
Makes Sudden Decision and
Takes Flight With Lind
bergh Today

Detroit, Aug. II P-Menry Ford
took his first airplane ride today
when he climbed into the cockpit of
the Spirit of st. Louis with Charles
A. Lindbergh at Ford airport and
was taken up this afternoon.
The decision to make the flight
apparently was sudden, as no pre-
vious indication had been given
either by those close to Mr.. Ford or
by Lindbergh, who spent night at
Ford home after arriving here late
yesterday on his nation wide air
tour.
Provision was made for taking
Mr.. Ford aloft by installing spe-
cial seat in the plane.
The plane after taking off and
cruising above the field landed
about ten minutes later.
After Henry Ford had landed Ed
sci Ford took his place in the plane
and was taken up by Lindbergh.

MANHATTAN SUPPLY IN
SPECTACULAR Crash
Violent Price Fluctuations
Occasion Inquiry and
Drop Results

New York, Aug. II P,-The bot
tom virtually dropped out of Man
haitian Electrical Supply on the
stock exchange today when the
price crashed to 70, with a spread
OF 3 or points between transac-
tons, compared with yesterday s
final figure of 120 IL. This stock
had recently sold as high as 147
1-2. Recent wild fluctuations in the
shares have been the subject Of an
investigation by the stock exchange
authorities.
The stock exchange committee
on business conduct on August 5
directed member firms to submit at
once statements on their short and
long position in Manhattan Electro
cal stock as of the close of bust
ness August 4, and only yesterday
the exchange requested that the
firms supply lists showing full lot
transactions in the company's COM
mon stock made by them from May
20 to August 9 inclusive. with
names of interested brokers and
purchasers.
Early in the year there were yio-
lent fluctuations in prices which
carried the stock from low of
SO is to high Of 1872 about a
week ago, but until today trading
has been quiet since the inquiry
was begun.
The break, regarded as the most
spectacular in recent stock eXhcange
history, was attributed to a weak
ened technical position of the stock
itself. Short interests virtually had
been eliminated during the buying
which sent the price soaring appar-
emily without regard for the stocks
intrinsic worth. This process sud
denly was halted by the announce
ment of the stock exchange inves-
tigation and as there evidently was
nothing to support the stock, the
decline followed naturally.
Records diligently were searched
for a case analogous as to speed
Of decline. The nearest to be found
was that of Piggy Wiggly. which.
on March 20. 1928, opened at IS,
scared to 125 and then broke Sc
verely before the close, falling to

Greenberg Sponsors

Out of town people who are in
need of shelter but who have not
the means to pay for room in a
hotel will have to go to the police
station, II the plans Of Charity Com
missioner Samuel Greenberg, presi-
dent Of the Hebrew Free Loan as
ISOLATION are carried through. His
plan calls for a two-story shelter
house which would be built entirely
by subscription.
Mr.. Greenberg, who developed the
Hebrew Free Loan association to its
present high position. decries the
fact that people from out of the
city. who have found themselves
without money, are forced to go to
the police station for shelter.
According to his plan the entire
structure will be built through sub
scriptions. As soon as the associa
ton receives q plot Of land in CEN
trail location. it will begin plans for
the structure, Mr.. Greenberg said.
One person has already indicated
that he is considering granting the
land while another. a brick mer-
chant In Berlin. has offered to sup
ply half the bricks for the building.
Recently Mr.. Greenberg received an
offer from a company OF its willing
ness to dig the cellar.
The proposed building will meas
ure so by 40 feet and will be two
stories high and will house the He
brew Free Loan association offices
on the lower floor and have a dor
mitory Of II rooms on the second
floor. Four rooms would be used for
the janitor who will live in the
place and the other eight will be
divided, six for men and two for
women.
Although the Hebrew organiza-
ton is sponsoring the movement, it
will not be for Hebrews alone and,
will be nonsectarian. The name of
the building Is not likely to have
direct relationship with the organi-
cation. The title THE New Britain
Shelter House. has been chosen.
In the case of the young girl or
boy who is found at night in need
of place to sleep, the house will
accommodate him or her and will try
to bring about a reunion of the
mother and father through the po-
lice department. Mr.. Greenberg be-
lieves that the association will be
willing to loan the boy or girl

-FOUR LOCAL CASES
Compensation Rulings Are Ap-
peda BY Plaintiffs
TWO INVOLVE FATALITIES
These Are The Deaths of William
Osakewicz and John LApoeky,
Both OF Whom We're Killed BY
Falls Into Elevator Pits.

Four local compensation. cases.
two OF them involving fatalities in
elevator shafts, will be reviewed by
state courts next fall on appeal from
rulings of the compensation COM
missioner.
The elevator cases are those re-
sulting from the death of William
Osakewicz in the North & Judd Mfg.
company plant. and that of John
Laposky who died while at work in
the bank of the Commercial Trust
company on West Main street. APP
peals have also been taken from the
ruling that the F'afnir Bearing Co.,
must pay compensation to Richard
Fox. injured while cleaning factory
windows, and from the finding that
Harry Schaub be removed from the
compensatory list Of Landers, F'rary
& Clark's.
Killed In December. 1924
The body of OsakeWicz was found
in the North & Judd elevator pit
December Is. 1924. 1t developed
during hearing on the application
of Bertha Osakewicz. widow. and
Walter, John and Vincent Osake-
wicz, minor sons, that the decedent
had entered the factory before the
regular hour on the day of his
death, and death had come before
he took up his duties. 1t was con-
tended by Attorney S. Polk Wasko-
WITT. counsel for the factory, that
Osakewicz was not about the bust
ness of his employer when the fatal
ity occurred. The claimants were re-
presented by Augustine Lonergan.
The arguments advanced by Lawyer
Waskowitz were sustained and the
case dismissed by the commissioner.
Asked For Reopening
Attorney Lonergan moved on De-
cember s. 1925 for reopening of the
case on the ground that new evil
dence had been uncovered in the
form OF eye witnesses to the tragedy.
Reopening was objected to on the
ground that too great time had
elapsed since the opening Of the
case and because Martin H. Kenney
and A. c. Malone, the principal
witnesses for the respondent. had
died in the interim and it would be
unfair to retry the case. On June
200 new hearing was granted and
the claim was once more dismissed
Appeal to the superior court has
been taken in behalf Of the widow
and children and the case is sched-
uled for trial in the September
term.

HE LEAVES Death CELL
Condemned Men Removed

I , After Respite

State Prison, Charlestown, Mass,
Aug. IL Pj - What a beautiful
day." exclaimed Nicola Sacco this
noon when he stepped from the
rear door of the death house where
he had been confined for more
than week and walked into the
prison yard on his way to the
Cherry Hill section of the prison.
The almost involuntary exclama-
ton was drawn from him as he
looked up at the sunny blue sky
where 1ieecy white clouds were
drifting. AS the result of the H.
day respite granted last night, Sac
co with Bartolomeo Fanzetti anu
Celestino Madeiros this noon were
transferred to cells which had been
freshly prepared for them.
Accompanied by Deputy Sheriff
J. L. Hogsett and two guards, the
three prisoners left the death
house. walked across the yard, up
the office steps and then climbed
the stairs to their cells in the sec
ond tier.
Sacco, who has eaten nothing for
% days. repeatedly declined assis-
lance and mounted the stairs with
out apparent difficulty. He again
refused food at lunch but Vanzetti
for the second time today drank
coffee.
All three men seemed cheerful
but both Sacco and Vanzetti show
ed the effects of their self imposed
fasrs.
It was announced that for the
present the extra guards about the
prison would be dispensed with.
