Air Too Soon Seen
AS Mishap Cause

DETROIT. May 12.-tPl-Two pi-
lots Of the Ford Motor company were
killed today when a tri-motor trans
port plane crashed and caught fire
soon after taking off from the Ford
airport at S:45 a. m.
The men killed were VIM. Mum

The pilots were on their first reg
ular run to Buffalo, n. Y, on a
freight route.
Edward G. Hamilton. chief Of op-
orators of the Ford air line service,
said the accident occurred when
Mum, who was at the controls,
forced the plane off the ground
without sufficient flying speed.
Soon after rising the big airship
stalled. slid off on one wing and
spun 60 the ground close TO the air
port The plane was wrecked and
both men are believed to have died
almost instantly,
Brownsville herald. [volume] (Brownsville, Tex.) 1910-current, 1928-05-12

The flight was undertaken at the
request of the German ambassador
and Miss Herta Junkers, who pointed
out that unless the Bremen was flown
from her island prison within a few
days the rapidly softening ground
would make takeoff impossible.
II landing by the two amphibian
planes at the island is found i'm
possible, Melchoir plans to drop to
the island by parachute. The army
plane then will turn back TO their
fuel base at st. George.
The Junkers mechanic will fly the
Bremen out if a takeoff is possible.
After dropping Melchoir at Greenly
island. the army flyers plan to wait
"a hours and If no word is received
from him in that time 10 fly back
TO the island and attempt a landing
in open water. IL Melchoir can do
nothing with the Bremen he will fly
back in one of the planes to make
further plans. If il is found impos-
sible to fly the Bremen out, the
plane will be left on the island until
a steamer can get through.
The Bremen has been earthbound
on the barren little island off Labra-
dor since April Is when Captain
Koehl brought her down to a precari-
Gus landing after wandering around
in a snowstorm over Newfoundland
and Labrador at the end of their
ocean flight.

DON'T SHOOT
NEWDRY RULE
Enforcement Officers
Under Strict Order
Of Treasury

WASHINGTON, May 12.-tRp-Pro-
hibition enforcement agents through
out the country were under fresh
and strict orders today from Wash
ington that promiscuous shooting at
suspected law violators must stop at
once.
The new warning went out from
dry headquarters in the treasury
simultaneously with the announce
ment that Robert Taylor, a West
Virginia enforcement agent, had been
dismissed for firing at an automo-
bile that failed to stop for inspec-
tion.
Although somewhat similar to the
shooting of John d. Hanson of Ma
CARA Falls, New York, by coast
guardsmen, which is now causing a
row in congress, Commissioner Doran
said the dismissal Of Taylor and the
issuance Of the new orders to his
men had no connection with that in
cident. He explained that the Han
son case was purely coast guard
matter, even though this arm partici-
pates in the enforcement Of the dry
law.
"We are not going TO put up with
whether they stop when commanded
or not" Doran said. I'VE will GER
tainly not shield officers charged
with this offense and we will aid
states at any time within reasonable
limits. OF course a particular case
depends on the facts"
The commissioner said Taylor had
fired on an automobile on the high
way near Huntington. West Virginia,
in direct violation of orders issued
by Administrator Pennington and spe-
cific regulations of the prohibition
bureau providing that agents should
not resort to firearms except in self
defense or to prevent the commission
of a felony. Transporting liquor,
fleeing from an officer, or failing to
stop when ordered are not felonies, he
explained.

ROAD CASE TO
Be UP MONDAY
Jury to Pass on Boca
Chica Injunction
Action

Trial Of the injur ction action
brought BY Jesse bennett. Mrs.
Nellie Esperson Stewart Of Houston
and A. ID. Dickinson, Jr, against
Cameron county to restrain the
Brownsville commissioner precinct
from constructing additional high
ways until the paving Of the Boca
Chica road is underway, is scheduled
to be called before Judge A. M. Kent

ing.
The case is to be tried before a
Jury, and attorneys forecast that

ed the plaintiffs in February, plain
tiffs alleging that under the resolu-
tion designating roads for paving in
the Brownsville district and entered
as part of the order for the $6,00O,000
bond issue election, the Boca Chica
road was designated as one Of the
first to be paved.
The contract for grading and struc-
lures on the is miles east Of I'll
Jardin boulevard was let by the COM
missioners court in September, 1927,
and will be completed the latter part
OF the month.
Following the recent sale Of the
third million Of county road bonds,
announcement was made by County
Judge Dancy that an effort was be-
ing made to reach an agreement
with the plaintiffs for a modifica-
tion Of the injunction to permit the
precinct TO continue its road program
by paving the military highway,
Southmost and Puerte Guadalupe
roads prior TO paving me Boca Chica
road, thereby giving ample time for
the new grades to settle. No agree
ment had been reached up to Satur-
day night, and attorneys for the
county announced themselves ready
to 90 to trial Monday.
A number of residents Of the mill
tary road section have Intervened on
behalf Of the county, and il is under
stood that other intervenors may be
filed before the case is called.
The commissioners Of the three
other precincts in the county con-
sented to withhold call for bids on
the highway projects In their respec-
tive precincts until Monday. May IL.
pending the effort to rcacn a COM
promise on the injunction. II Is

His plane swerved. fell into a side
