 He had just taken off from the local airport, circled the field, and landing when. as he banked the craft north of the hangars, he lost control of the plane and it fell to the ground with the engine still running. The plane buried it's nose in the earth when it crashed in the rear of the municipal hangar. The wings were smashed and the engine of the diminutive aircraft was push cd back into the pilot cabin.
 Boots profusely bleeding about the head. was taken from the wreck of his ship by George Pranaitis, state aviation inspector and others.
 Boots was unconscious when taken from the plane but regained consciousness shortly afterward at the hospital.
 Boots was formerly chief pilot of the Massachusetts Airways Inc, of Springfield, and came to the L. and H. Aircraft Company here in July.

BROAD ST. DEMANDS PARADE Fifth Ward Council Representa-
 tiVeS File Protest
 ERROR, SHELDON SAYS
Chairman Of Committee Denies h. tenttOn to Leave North End of City Out of Line of March on September 22.

Vigorous protest was voiced to- | day by residents of the northwest
 ern section of the city against the recommendation to the parade com-
 mittee of the World War memorial
 dedication general committee, tha, l Broad street be eliminated from the ! line of march and until Curtis l. Sheldon, chairman of the parade committee had corrected the inn pression this morning action was promised by leaders of the Polish people in the section.
 Threat to Disregard Parade
 Alderman Frank Zapatla, q champion of the people in his sec ton of the city during the terms he has served in the common council, declared:
 lf they are going to make this parade and memorial dedication sectional by not having the parade include Broad street in the line of march, then the Polish people of that section will disregard the pa rade altogether and will honor the soldiers in their own way on that day"
 He, in company with Councilman Lawrence Samorajczyk, called at Mayor Paoncssa's office and com- plained against the rumored action. The alderman claimed the people in his ward have marched in longer parades and would be willing to march three or even six miles in or der that the residents of the north western section may be served.
 Mir Sheldon was called in and he explained that there was a misun- derstanding in the papers yester- day concerning the parade. He said the matter of cutting Broad street from the program was discussed, but that his committee would not take the responsibility of recommending such an action.
 Mayor PaoneSsa voiced disap- proval of eliminating the northwes- tern section and even if it wer to take more time he favored having the parade march through that sec ton.
 Statement by Mir. Sheldon
 Mir. Sheldon's statement to the Herald follows:
 "To correct an impression caused by an article in last nights paper that the parade committee had Broad street from the line of march, l wish to make the following statement:
 'The parade committee has taken no action to change the line of march of the parade which as orig nally planned included Broad street.
 "At a meeting of the chairmen of all committees held Monday evening the hour for starting the ceremony 1t Walnut Hill parl was under dis ,ussion and it was pointed out that .he entire parade would not reach he monument before five o'clock. In order to advance this hour if pos iible and also in order to shorten the distance that the marchers would nave to walk, it was recommended hat the Broad street loop be elim- mated, which would the shorten the | parade one mile. However. this was | 'nly recommendation and it is the | plan of the parade committee to in dude Broad street even if it becomes necessary to shorten the parade at | 'ome other point.
 "C. l.. SHELDON,
 Chairman Parade Committee"
