Still Searching for Body.

London, July R-Discussion of
the mystery of Captain Alfred
Lowenstein's death by 4 fall from
his airplane into the sea went on
apace today.
Efforts to find his body at the
point where the crew of his plane
and its other occupants assert he
fell into the English channel
through accidentally opening the
exit door of the plane have been
futile. The pilot and mechanic of
the plane spent several hours

found that the air pressure was so
great that the combined strength of
the two men was just sufficient to
open the door wide enough to per-

Yet friends of Lowenstein maintain
that he often opened the door Of
his plane to look over the sea and
the landscape.
Rumors that the whole affair was
gigantic hoax We're circulated in
brokers' offices and other concerns
interested in dealings Of the stock
exchanges of London. Paris Berlin
and Brussels. One suggestion was
that Lowenstein never left Croydon.
Another rumor was that he landed

SAVED FROM ROCK
IN POTOMAC RIVER

SAT THERE FOR II HOURS
Starts Cut to Recover Bodies of
Drowned Women When Canoe
Capsizes-is Marooned On Tiny
Ledge.

Washington, July (UP)-SiXteen
men from the U. S. navy yard res
cued Herbert Lugenbeel, 81, at dawn
today from tiny rock amid swiring
Potomac river rapids near here
where he had been marooned since
l p. m. yesterday.
All through the night search
lights had played on the solitary
prisoner perched on a rock slab, 2
by feet. jutting a foot and half
above waters in which no man could
survive.
About midnight the navy men
put out in a strong boat to one of
three islands between the Maryland
shS'e and Lugenbeels rock; to this
island they made fast a rope, which
they played out until they reached
the second island. They repeated
the process until they reached the
third
Sat There II Hours
Then they fastened ropes to two
of their number, who picked their
way among rocks to Lugenbeel's
side. A two-foot water drop over
night aided them in reaching Lugen-
beel, who fell. weak and exhausted
INTO their arms from the slippery
rock where he had sat cramped for
II hours.
Struggling against the current, but
aided by the ropes, they carried
Lugenbeel to the nearest island and
the navy boat. The rescuers then
reversed their process from island
to island to the shore.
BY this time Lugenbeel was re-
covered sufficiently to smile and
ask: when do we eat?"
Lugenbeel and J. II. Angel both
noted for heroic water rcscues in
the past. set out in a canoe yester-
day to shoot" the rapids in search
for the bodies of two drowned
women. one of which had been
sighted wedged among the rocks.

that of the two women. Each man.

from lugenbeel's and even more
hazardous. He was rescued by
special fire department squad
equipped with rope gun, which
made its way by fastening to sue
cessive rocks and finally took him
off in breeches buoy fashion.
Meantime the bodies of both
drowned women were recovered
downstream. It was believed the
struggle to save the two men had
dislodged the body that had been
held between rocks in the rapids.

Those halcyon days when Albert B
Fall was big gun in the senate, when
he bounded Mexico, when he invaded
President Wilson'S sick room on his
disgraceful errand, when he was the
big noise to whom all the newspaper
boys" looked with respect-those days
for the boss of Tres Ritos are done.
Sinclair, too, may never face an
other day in court. 1t doesn't matter
much. He and his crowd stand, with
Fall, before a public that has found
them out
Grafters may not have had THEN
last day in public office, but it viii
never again be so easy.
The darned fool goose that laid gol-
den eggs and didn't hide them away
hasn't gained much sense yet, but al
least the old bird has learned how tC

Subsidized by Public Utili-
ties in Michigan

Washington.-M Michigan public util-
tiles were urged to aid country papers
in that state, according to evidence
submitted to the Federal Trade Com
mission. The expense would be charged
to insurance" while the public would
pay the cost.
Small-town utilities We're given this
advice, according to this letter from
the Michigan publicity agent to the
manager Of the Greenville Gas Com
pany, Greenville, Mich:
"A memorandum from Mr. F. H
Goodrich of the Greenville Independ-
ent was to the effect that his paper
has tried to place this service with
both the gas and electric companies in
your city without success. He said
that the electric company found it
contrary to policy and that the gas
company could not afford it. With
some frst-hand information on the
Greenville situation, | can understand
the position taken, yet | would like
to subrait that if it is at all possible,
some place be made for this newspa-
per cooperation. You would be justi-
fled in writing it off to insurance, for
there is nothing so valuable to a util-
ity as editorial friendliness.
MAY l suggest that you run only
two ads a month, if four are too bur
densome, or do as several other towns
are doing and split the cost with the
other utility, if they are willing.

new press at heavy expense to i'm
prove it's local service and that is a
tremendous expense for a small pa

The Labor Day picnic committee
met this week and transacted impor-

the different subcommittee every
thing connected with the outing is
coming along nicely. Every commit
tee reported progress and the work
is well under way.
The secretary was instructed to
communicate with the chief Of police
a few days before Labor Day re-
garding polio protection.
The amusement committee report
ed that they will engage Rube Smith,
of Toledo, for one of the free at
fractions. A tent show will also be
considered, and may be put on by the
committee.
A motion was offered and carried to
erect large dancing pavilion on the
grounds.

WIDE POWERS FOR
MEXICO'S CHIEF

Washington. Press dispatches
from Mexico announce the election of
General Alvaro Obregon as president
Of Mexica and that the new official
has been granted powers that border
on dictatorship.
General Obregon's amendments to
the constitution have been ratified by
the necessary number of state legis-
latures, it is stated. One amendment
provides for the appointment of su-
preme judges and other judges by the
president, instead of election by the
people.
Mayors and boards OF aldermen,
formerly elected by the people, will
be replaced by federal commissions.
The number Of deputies in the ma
tional assembly will also be reduced
from 300 to 150
The labor party has had control of
city governments, but these will now
pass into the hands of the new presi-
dent.

SUMMER HEALTH
TALKS
FLIES


Flies are still flying in spite of
long and persistent efforts to get rid
Of them There are fewer flies than
there were ten years ago but this
years crop is still carrying germs of
typhoid, and of the infantile diarrhea
and enteritis that make summer such
a dangerous season for young children
Swat the fly" is the word earlier
in the season, for killing a fly in April
or May is killing his thousands Of
descendants at the same time Of
course, it is well to swat flies at any
season Of the year but by July there
are more flies in most communities
than there are swatters to swat them.
Flies breed in filth. There should
be no piles Of manure left around to
act as cradles for flies. Ninety per
cent of the maggots can be killed by
applying one pound of borax, dissolved
in twelve gallons of water, to every
twelve bushels of manure-when it is
impossible to get rid Of manure pile
at once Garbage should be burned
or buried Green garbage may be
dried out in wire baskets until it can
be burned
Even with these precautions insur-
ing high infant mortality in the fly
race, some of them still survive. These
must be starved to death if possible.
Leave no food standing uncovered
The strong odor of rotten fruit OF
spelling food is especially delightful
to flies. Bread crusts which have been
moistened in four ounces of forma-
lin dissolved in a quart of sugar water
will attract flies and kill them. There
are effective fly poisons, fly paper, and
sprays on the market In using sprays
it is necessary to close doors and win
dows, and to see that no food is ex-
posed to the poison. Dead flies should
be burned without delay.

SMALLER STOCK
Selling is Good Money Getter

New York-The Pennsylvania rail
road will sell $17500,O00 of new
stock to officers and employees. The
price is $50 share and no one can
buy more than ten shares. Payments
are to be made by 81 or $5 deduc-
tions from the monthly payroll. AS
no employe or officer can pay for the
stock in lump sum it will take
from 10 to 25 months to pay for one
share.
The total number of new shares will
be 100000. If all officers and en-
ployes avail themselves of their new
privilege, the average number of
shares per person will not exceed two,
This system of financing was de-
veloped by the public utilities fol-
lowing the World War Aside from
the value of floating stock issues, it
ties stockholders to the company
Workers are less prone to change
employment or make demand for inn
proved conditions, and stockholders in
public utilities will except increased
rates and oppose municipal owner
ship. Records of July, 1926, show
there were l1,842,410 customer own
ers Of public utility stock throughout
the country.
The corporations call this system
"a development of much better rela-
tions with their customers and en-
ployes."

The Cherry
" Where with our
roo Little Hatchet
we tell the truth
about many things, sometimes pro-
foundly, sometimes fiippantly.
sometimes recklessly.

Counsel for the government in the
oil cases announce that they will seek
method of taking any remaining
court trials outside of the District of
Columbia.
Their opinion seems to be that jury
lists in the National Capitol are so
filled with political debtors that iuries
drawn from them are not safe fol
democracy.
Of course that is not all that's
wrong. The ignorance required of a
juror is a powerful fact in producing
juries that don't know what to do with
the evidence laid before them.
But trials, or no trials, time itself
bids fair to be the greatest avenger
Iof the national wrong done in the oil
scandals. The big thing just naturally
refuses to die out.
Albert B. Fall may never again face
court, but he is facing something
more damning than any court verdict
he is facing public that has founC
him out, and he is facing the end OF
his road.

Somehow injustice has way of
fetching along its own reward. There's
Harry Daugherty. Samuel Gompers
once went to Daugherty's office in the
Department of Justice, as it was hu-
morously called, to protest about
something. Daugherty was big and
bluff and powerful. He was conde-
scending.
Well, where is Harry now? A lot
Of his old henchmen still have plenty
Of place and power, but there is no
more pomp and ceremony for Harry.
The game is done Turn back the
pages of the big book of history and
| it turns out to have been ever thus
with some exceptions, Of course, but
in the main.
So it undoubtedly will continue to
be. This summer, while the heat bis
ters the pavements of Washington
where the Fall-Daugherty crowd once
made merry, trained Investigators are
out in the great Salt Lake oil fields.
They will turn up more dirty work
beyond doubt.
And there will be more of the
hounds of destiny on the trail of the
malefactors Nemesis is mean old
girl, once she gets really under way
She never knows when to quit, which
| is really good thing.
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1928-08-03

Harry Daugherty once raced half
way across the continent to tell court
in Chicago to issue a blanket injunc-
ton against striking railroad shop
workers. Lady Nemesis seems to have
remembered that, too.
Political morality sunk to low levels
after the war. Decency went down at
least for the count of nine. The 1--WE
boys" of politics hit decency mean
sock in the eye, but recovery followed
and landed return sock on the re-
bound.
1t would be well if more persons
contemplated these things In the end
decency and fairness and progress are
the winners. Mine owners, for ex-
ample, and textile mill owners, might
remember these things, as well as
dirty politicians.
