Land Throwing Men
Into Ocean

Lisbon, Portugal, Aug. 6.-(F-
Major Kasimir Kubala said today
that a broken pipe line forced him
and his companion Major Louis
Idzikowski to turn back after they
had flown 81 Of the AZ hours which
they estimated it would take them
to fly from Paris to New York.
The airmen were rescued when
found swimming in the sea near
the wreckage of their plane the
Marszalek Pilsudski by the German
steamer Samos Saturday and
brought them to Lexicoes, near
Oporto. On board the ship Kubala
slipped and fell cutting his right
forearm on broken glass.
Kubala interviewed in the Oporto
military hospital said that after
they had flown twenty-one hours
the tube. feeding the oil stopped
working. The airmen thought it
would be impossible therefore to
continue their flight to America and
decided to return.
When they were 20 miles off Cape
Finisterre, westernmost point OF
Spain, they noticed additional dam
age. This caused the wings to col
lapse and the heavy sesquiplane
plunged into the sea near the
Samos. The wings broke and this
caused the plane to capsize.>
I'VE threw ourselves into the sea, y
said Kubala. 1--WE swan toward
the Samos whose crew rescued US
ard then took the plane in tow. We
were altogether SO hours in the
air."
The airmen plan to leave for Paris
with their plane on Wednesday.

fast Illinois Central passenger
trains were derailed one mile
north of here early today. Fifty

An official statement by the ILL.,
nois Central placed the number Of

jured at IL.
The trains derailed were number
l6, the Chicashaw, northbound from
Memphis to St. Louis, and number 8,
southbound, Chicago to New Orleans
limited.
The wreck was caused by q large
sewer pipe which had dropped from
a freight train which preceded the
st. Louis bound passenger train.
Train number 16, first struck the
pipe and threw it against the south
bound track, throwing it out of line,
just as number passed. The engine
and 10 cars Of number 3 were de-
rallied and struck number Is, derail-
ing seven cars Of that train, which
was standing still.
The known dead are Lewis A.

have ever experienced" Ed Whalcn,
conductor of train number l6 said.
"Our train had been warned that
the pipe was lying across our track,
but we struck it 1000 feet before
we had expected to. Though it

we were able to stop Immediately
because we were going at slow
rate of speed. Evidently when we
struck the pipe it hit rail Oh the
other track, throwing it out Of line.
Train Smashes Coaches
Half a minute later, and before
we could flag it, number 3 came roar
ing down the right Of way so miles
an hour. The engine was derailed
and plowed into the pullmans Of
number l6, ripping through the en-
tire side of number of cars, taking
before it the whole tier Of sleeping
There in the darkness, made more
dense by the smoke and dust the
screams Of agony from the injured
and the means of the dying were
awful"

naming cars Of his crippled train

POLICE WEAVE
EVIDENCE WEB
ABOUT BETHEL
Los Angeles Officials Believe
Dead Woman's Clothing
Clinches Case
GUN FOUND IN TOWELS
Philadelphia Society Man Ad-
mits Target Shooting Near
Death Spot

Los Angeles, August 6.-(AP)-
With a maze Of circumstantial evi-
dence connecting Russell St. Clair
Bethel Of Philadelphia with the
murder in June of Miss Barbara
Mauger, also Of Philadelphia, police
today believe examination Of the
dead woman's clothing would clinch
their case.
The clothing was en- route from
Phoenix, Ariz., where police be-
lieved Bethel had shipped it after
Staying the girl. The garments she
wore the day she died might be con-
tanned in the bundle, Investigators
believed.
The nude body Of the girl was
found last week in . lonely spot in
the hills above Hollywood. A bull
let wound in the head caused death,
although physicians declared there
was indications the girl may have
lived for three days after receiving
that wound.
Bietzel, who brought Miss Mauger
from Philadelphia several months
ago. and lived with her here as hus-
band and wife, stands formally
charged with the murder. He was
arrested last Friday.
He has admitted quarreling with
the deceased near the scene Of the
crime, but maintains he did not kill
her. He told police she jumped from
his car there, and disappeared.
Detectives located pistol
wrapped in towels in q desk used by
Bethel, and he admitted ownership,
Yesterday a small boy found a box
of cartridges for = gun Of the same
caliber near the scene Of the killing.
Beiztel admitted he went to that
spot . day before Miss Mauger's
disappearance, which he said was
June "a, and practiced target shoot
ing.
In addition to murder charges, Of
ficers said charges Of wife desertion,
embezzlement and violation Of the
Mann act would be lodged against
the suspect. Bethel deserted his
wife and two children in Philadel-
phia, and police have announced he
confessed to embezzling money from
his employers there before starting
west with Miss Mauger.

IS j. S. BUDGET
1928 ESTIMATE
National Director Keeps Gov.
ernment Expense Within
Coolidge Figure
DEFENSE MONEY BIGGER
Army and Navy Aviation
Funds Are Increased SILL.
100000 in Report

Superior, Wis, Aug. 6.-R-
Brigadier General H. M. Lord, direc-
tor Of the budget, arrived here today
to submit to president Coolidge pre-
liminary budget estimates for the
fiscal year 1880 totalling less than
So, 3,7OO,OOO,0OO.
The budget director said that al
though granting substantial in
creases to . number Of government
departments, he had managed to
keep the total within the figures
which had been set by president
Coolidge in his speech on June IL
to the business organizations OF the
government for the fiscal year be-
ginning next July. The budget for
the fiscal year just ended amounted
to about $3,30O,OOO,0OO.
The increase over the total of
previous years, General Lord ex-
planned, was accounted for not only
by increased proposed appropri-
ations for government agencies but
by the fact that all probable ex-
penditures were provided for in the
1880 estimates, whereas previously
many items such as tax refunds,
were not taken into account.
Defense Money Bigger
An increase of nearly $4,000, 900
for national defense over the pre-
vious year was included in the pre-
liminary estimates brought to Su-
perior today. Whereas for the Cur
rent fiscal year the budget provided
$500, 600, 900 for this purpose. Gen
eral Lord plans to devote $659 O0O,-
600 in 1880. Several army and nav y
bills are pending, how.vcr, which
may upset these figures somewhat,
The increase in the naval appropYi-
ations will be largely to provide for
naval construction.
Aviation also will have morA
funds in 1880 for its development
Present estimates would devote to
army and navy aviation $69, 900 OO0
in 1880 as compared to $58,O0O,O00
in the previous budget. Further,
General Lord indicated, an increase
would also be allowed to the aero
nautical branch Of the commerce de-
partment.
Estimates for public buildings
were boosted in the 1880 estimates
to $35, 100000 from $50, 900, 900 in
1929.
Pensions Increased
A paper deficit Of about $94, 4,0O0,-
900 on next June 80 was estimated
by General Lord upon arriving here.
He accounted for this by consider
ing the large appropriations already
approved by congress with the pre-
sumably reduced revenues on ac-
count Of the tax reduction passe,.. at
the last session Of congress. To be
added to the above deficit, the bud
get director said, was also an in
crease Of about $19 900, 900 in pen
sions and $4,000, 900 for increased
cost of mail distribution. On the
other hand, he said $25,000,O00 set
aside to provide for the return Of
alien property would probably not
be expended thus making the paper
deficit total about $105,000,000.
General Lord pointed out, how.
ever, that since the war taxes had
never been reduced without result
ing in an increase in revenue. He
expected that such IN effect would
also be derived from the last tax
reduction allowing q surplus to be
reported next June 80.
