PHOSCENE GAS IN HAMBURG DISTILLED
 PEOPLE, STOCK, DIE
CROPS DESTROYED; LEAGUE OF NATIONS CIRCLES A5uZz
 OVER KNOWLEDGE

HAMBURG, May p. lP)-The cloud of phosgene gas which hung over Hamburg and claimed II lives has been dissip5ted but still linigered. More than 200 people are in the hos pitals.
 Authorities believe many of those will die since the gas sometimes is not fatal, until week after. An in- haled half gram of 8 cubic meter is sufficient to cause death which comes after horrible suffering.
 Cattle lay dead in fields and chick ems, ducks. farnyard dogs and cats in the streets, were mute evidence of the terrible death which crept thru the sleeping city.
 Trees, grass and growing crops shriveled. The disclosure that dead ly gas was stored in Germany set the League of Nations circles abuzz. Ger many, under the Treaty of Versailles is forbidden to use, manufacture, i'm port or store, asphSxiating poison gases.

HOLMAN LOOPS
1893 TIMES TO
BREAK RECORD
More Than Doubles Number of
Loops Made Last Week
by Gene Shank

Minneapolis, Minn., Feb. 13.-R,
For the second time within a
week, a twin cities flyer has set
what is believed to be q new
worlds record for loopirc the loop
in an airplane-1,09 loops.
The mark was established here
yesterday by Charles "Speed" Hol-
man of Minneapolis, chief pilot of
the Northwest Airways, who holds
several air mail records between
here and Chicago.
FIXING the 200 horsepower plane
in which he won the class A event
in the national cross country Air
DERBY last year, Holman beat the
figure hung up Feb. at st. Paul
Y Gene Shank, young law student
of that city. Shank looped 5l5
times, or 200 times more. than the
old recognized mark.
Holman's feat was the more re-
markable because his loops were
consecutive-that is. he continue
sweeping in one great circle, instead
Of climbing to new attitudes after
a series Of somersaults. "Speed"
was in the air slightly more than
4 1-o hours.
Shank's record also was broken
yesterday by Lyle Thro. commercial
pilot Of Minneapolis, who had q 80
horsepower class 3 plane. His
figure was 543. He was forced to
come down then because of motor
trouble.

Officers Bodies
Believed in River

Lafayette, Ind, Feb. 13.-(AP)-
The Muddy Wabash, choked with ice,
holds what Police Chief Emersole
believes to be the answer to the
question authorities have sought
since last Tuesday to answer: What
happened to Deputy Sheriffs John
p. Grove and Wallace Mcclure?
The police head does not expect
river search will be possible for
several days, because of flood wa
tcrs. Meantime search parties again
today were organized to scour the
countryside for trace of the deputies
and the two prisoners they were
driving to the state reformatory at
Pcndleton.
Although there have been the
usual reports of being "seen" in sew
cral sections of the middlewest, the
two prisoners, who were sentenced
to serve five to 70 year robbery
terms, have not been found. The
two, Samuel Baxter, 10, and John
Burns, 20, were last seen Tuesday
afternoon, several hours after the
party of four left Lafayette. They
left Groves automobile in Decatur,
ILL.,, garage.
The firing of several shots at
Maple Point, near here, last Tuesday
morning, and the finding Of Groves
hat and coat belt near there, further
substantiated the theory that the
two deputies came to harm at the
hands Of Baxter and Burns.

Boston, Feb. 13-lR-Three
members of the crew Of the naval
tug Mohavc were missing today aft
er the craft bad piled up on the
jagged rocks Of Harding ledge, two
miles east of Point Allerton. in q
noonlit sea last night.
Twenty-three other sailors, in
cluding Chief Boatswain Mate Pat
rick F. Powers, commander of the
tug, were safe. Six were near ex-
haustion after long row to Nam
tasket in an open dinghy that had
only one pair Of oars. The men
had been ordered out in search of
the three who were believed to have
lost their lives and, failing to find
them, struck out for the shore.
The Mohave's S o S halted broad
casting and sent flotilla stcaming
to her assistance. The destroyer

ship. Early reports had placed the
victims as high as six.
The missing men were w. J.

New York, Feb. 13.--(AP)-
Frances flying ENJOYS, Capt. Dicu-
donne Costes and Lieut.. Joseph Le-
brix, have returned the call Of Col.
Charles A. Lindbergh, aerial ambas-
sador Of the United States.
In q plane named in memory Of
Nungesser and Coli, the two French
men have reached North America
after crossing the South Atlantic.
They followed longer, but more
overland route than that braved by
their ill-fated countrymen.
Since they left Paris October 10,
Costes and Lebrix have covered
with their 60O-horsepowcr, Hispano-
Suiza-motored biplanc, a distance
exceeding the circumference Of the
earth. They made the first non-
stop flight over the South Atlantic
between Africa and South America.
The Nungesser-Coli has whirled
its propeller over five continents.
Before Costes and Lcbrix set cut
from the French capital to tour the
Americas, their machine already
had visited Siberia twice, and Also
Egypt and India, making return
flight to Paris in each instance.
The ship has actually gone a dis
tance equal to three trips around
the world.
Six legs Of the Frenchmcn's tour
have been nonstop flights Of 1000
miles or more, and the first two
were 2,7O0 and 1000 miles. Costes
and Lebrix experienced the great
est thrill Of their flight not when
they were winging over the Allan
tic. but while crossing the Gulf OF
Mexico. Just out OF Tampico
mammoth cloud rolled down on
them and forced them to fly only
Is feet above the water. The
frothy waves licked upward like
serpents' tongues, but the flyers
defied the storm and kept tho ship
going until they again enjoyed
clear visibility of Galveston, Tex.
"The weather was bad," Lebrix
related, "but We had no trouble
with our plane. We could sec but
little. We were just flying toward
where our instruments indicated
was the mainland.
Captain Costes is 81 years cid.
He brought down II enemy planes
in single combat during the world
war. Both he and LebriX, vino is
%, are members Of the Legion OF
Honor.

LEFT HAVANA

Along Route
WEATHER UNFAvORABLE
Due at st. Louis at 2 p. NJ,
But Adverse Conditions

UNFAvORABLE
(By The Associated Press)

Charles A. Lindbergh took off
from Havana today for st. Louis
on the last long leg of his good will
tour among the southern republics,
but he has not been reported seen at
all during more than time enough
for him to pass we'll beyond his half
way point.
At 1925 eastern standard time
this morning, eight hours after his
take-off, he should have been over
jackson, Miss, if he followed the
Florida coast line, or about half way
between jackson and Little Rock,
Ark, if he changed his plans and
flew straight across the gulf from
Key West to New Orleans. This is
figuring on a speed of approximate
ly 100 miles an hour.
All coastal towns reported fog
and low visibility and flyers saw in
this the reason for Lindbergh's S
progress not being visible from the
ground. They agreed that, to es-
cape the fog, he would unquestion-
ably have flown much higher than
is his custom, and suggested that if,
from the height he attained, he saw
that the fog was hugging the coast,
he might we'll have decided to cut
across the gulf, continuing at a high
altitude after getting over land
again.
