Plane FALLS
IN LAKE: ERIE
Pilot Is Missing After Air
Liner Crashes: Three
Rescued.

CLEVELAND, O., Aug. ID
Search was being made today by air
and sea for John Kasper, co-pilot of
the Thompson Aeronautical Cor
poration amphibian plane, Miss De-
troit, which crashed in Lake Erie
near Southeast shoals late Tuesday.
KaSper, alone of the four persons
aboard the flying boat when it left
Cleveland at p. m. Tuesday, was
unaccounted for.
Cy Caldwell, pilot; G. A. Lupole,
Wright Aeronautical Association en-
gineer Of Paterson, N. j., and Mrs.
Robert Little of Cedar Rapids, Ia,
were rescued by passing steamers.
Plane Joins Search
A Thompson emergency plane,
piloted by Ralph Devore and Otis
Beard, took off from the base here
at daybreak to search for KaSper.
Another plane was dispatched from
Detroit. A coast guard cutter and
steamers in the vicinity of the crash
joined in the hunt.
According to Thompson officials
here the Miss Detroit crashed
thirty minutes after it left Cleve-
land Tuesday on it's regular sched-
uled flight to Detroit.
Although clear weather prevailed
at the start of the trip, the ampht-
bian encountered a heavy fog about
four miles west of Point Pelee, over
Canadian waters, it was said. When
Caldwell attempted to set the plane
down on the water he misjudged
the skyline in the fog and crashed,
officials said.
Cling to Wreckage
The wings were smashed and the
ship overturned, rapidly filling with
water. The four occupants crawled
to the upturned bottom of the cabin
and donned life jackets. They clung
to the sinking amphibian for an
hour.
AS the ship settled rapidly and
darkness fell on the quartet they
decided to swim south in the lake
in an effort to reach the regular
steamer Inc before nightfall. They
became separated in the darkness.
Lupole was the first rescued. His
shouts were heard aboard the Den
mark, bound for the upper lakes.
The Denmark with the Midland
King, Buffalo-bound, which had
picked up Mrs. Little and Caldwell,
stood by for three hours before CIV
ing up the search for Kasper.

Records viii Show Age
Under investigation records of the
division will show, it is believed, the
age of the equipment, some of it
new, some old, and the use to which
it was put.
Official inquiry will disclose, it is
believed, that practically valueless
wrecks frequently were hauled into
the Central garage here and into
others of the chain of thirty-four
branches throughout the state, and
repaired at unjustified expense in
labor and materials.
Some of the Fords repaired at a
cost of hundreds of dollars would
not have brought $25 on used car
lots, it was charged
Passenger cars used for inspec-
tions and work other than road
building and repair also bore high
costs, the report showed.
Careless of Cost
One car, bought new at about
81 200 in July, 1927, for the use of
Charles H. Parrish, director of in
formation for the department of
conservation, because he accom-
panies highway officials on inspec-
ton trips, bore more than $500 ex-
pense in the year which began the
following Oct. /.
Probably employees have repairs
made more often on state cars than
they would if they had to foot the
bill themselves" it was suggested to
Manlove.
Sure, they come in here with a
rattle or a squeak or some thing
or other wrong and we have to fix
it up," Manlove said, grinning.
Manlove denied that the Central
garage, $40 West Market street, is
crowded with employees foisted upon
him by political allies.
Not Like Private Business
"Of course you can't run state
garage like you can private busi-
ness" he said. There are a few
I'd like to get rid Of"
Discord came to a head in the de-
partment when Fred r. Huddles-

chief accountant, and Harry A.
Hitzelberger, purchasing agent, were
discharged summarily May 8.
Manlove would not explain their
removal beyond saying 1t was "for
the good Of the department"
The move was made with the con-
sent Of the commission and highway
director who then were concentra-
ting on the years road building pro-
gram, empowered him to take any
steps he might feel would improve

Including tires, but not gas
or oil, one years maintenance
and repair on a Ford pas
senger car ran as high as
$1,O32.
Other high Ford figures for one
years upkeep included $845, $84o,
$807 and $784. On some the costs
we're reasonable, but the average
for the more than 900 Fords owned
By the department approximated
sssS for the year.
High Cost on Trucks
Heavier cars, trucks and tractors
also showed alleged exorbitant re-
pair costs, running near $4,000 on
some heavy trucks, nearly $4,000 on
the most expensive tractors ana
ranging downward.
Auto repairs made by the state
should be accomplished much
cheaper than commercial garages, it
was pointed out, in view Of reduced
material costs, no rent, taxes or
profit.
Investigation will disclose, it is
believed, to what extent the exces-
sive figures may be chargeable to
n1ismanagement, false economy IN
the repair of equipment whlcn
should have been junked, and 70
abuse to which the equipment may
have been put with little regard for
the cost, so long as borne by tne
state.
Although the report which fur
nished the disclosures was the re-
suit of an elaborate cost accounting
system inaugurated for that pur-
nose. it never was submitted to the
highway director, highway commls-
sion. board of accounts, or the Gov
ernor, it was learned.
Report Is flushed
On the contrary, the report care
fully was kept out of sight Oh tne
legislative committee that, during
the 1929 general assembly, made a
cl1rsorv survey of highway depart
ment expenditures before the Accent
gasoline tax bill could be brought
to a vote.
Neither was it made part OF the
highway departments belated nnan-
cial report that was accorded III
c1oseIv tvned pages in the 1928 year
book.
That the commission could have
availed itself Of the figures II IL nao
been disturbed by the persistent ru-
mors of unecononical management,
was indicated by Manlove's state
ment in his brief 1928 year book re-
port: "a system of cost account
ing has been established, showing
the charges against any truck or
machine. This gives valuable data
for use of the commission and neaoS
of the several divisions"
Not Report, He Says
"1f there's such a report, you're
entitled to see it." Highway Director
John J. Brown told The Times, when
questioned.
When Browns statement was re-
peated to Manlove, he produced the
report, objecting, however, to It's be-
ing designated as such.
"That's my work sheet, not re-
uort" he said. II had it made up
so I could see when a repair joo
got too high. I can't vouch for ac-
curacy of the figures"
But repair costs, presented on tne
"work sheet" it was pointed out
represented repairs and expendl-
lures already completed.
The report, it was understood, was
the first available in such detail. For
the fiscal year ended Sept. 30, 1928,
II recorded material, labor and ad-
rninistrative overhead expense on
ali the highway departments cars,
trucks and tractors, 1854 in all. The
balance of the departments 1,498
pieces of equipment are trailers and
road rollers repaired at the main
tenance departments expense.

NAVY TWICE ASKED
FOR ARMY BATTLE
No Reference as to Eligibility
Made in Either Letter,
1t Is Said.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
A NNAPOLIS, Md, october 10
~ Two proposals were made by
"A Naval Academy officials for a
4 4 foot ball game this year be-
tween the Navy and Army, the
first as long as a month ago and the
second two weeks ago, 1t was said at
the Naval Academy by Lieut.. Comdr.
Daniel E. Barbee, aide to Rear Admiral
Samuel S. Robson.
Comdr Barbee, reiterating the state
ment of Comdr. A. H. Rocks, another
of Robison's aides, who told of the sec
ond letter, said both letters written by
the Navy chief offered to play the Serv-
ice game this year without reference
to eligibility conditions and proposed
later conferences to map out rules for
subsequent meetings.
Naval Academy officials refused to
comment on a letter written to Admiral
Robson by Maj. Gen. William r. Smith,
the Military Academy head, in reply to
the Nays second letter, which was re-
ceived almost simultaneously with a
telegram from Gen. Smith, the latter
having been made public yesterday by
the Army chief. Comdr. Barbee said
that Admiral Robson took the stand
that the telegram, sent subsequent to
the letter, superseded it.
Comdr. Barbee said that letter
written by Admiral Robson carries a
welcome for a conference between
heads Of the Army and Navy schools,
but did not go into any details as to
the basis for the conference He added
that though the admiral would report
any action to the Secretary of the Navy,
Charles Francis Adams, he had been
given to understand that any recon-
n1endations he made in regard to the
game would be supported by the Navy
Department.

ST. JOHNS ADOPTS
FRESHMEN RULING
FirSt-Year Men will Be Off
Varsity Team Starting
With 1890 Season.

ANNAPOLIS, October 19.-The adop-
ton of the freshman rule at st. Johns
College, which will bar members of the
first-year class from participation in
varsity athletics, has been announced
and will go into effect July l, 1880.
The athletic authorities at st. Johns
have been considering such a move
for some time, but the announcement
following a meeting Of the athletic
council was surprise to the student
body.
the use of the rule by colleges appear
ing on st. Johns schedule. The present
list of opponents and the plans for
future schedules show many colleges
that require that no freshmen shall be
allowed to play in varsity games.
The first change In the eligibility
rules at st. Johns was made last year,
when it was voted to bar the use of
transfer students for period Of one
year.
Although st. Johns does not contem-
plate Immediately entering any foot ball
conference, the rules under which the
Johnnies will play beginning next Sep
TENDER are practically the same as those
rules laid down by the major corps.
Today Riggs, foot ball and basket ball
coach, thinks that the adoption OF the
new rule is a step forward for st.
Johns. He said:
ut seems to me that 1t Is just q mat
Ter Of one or two more years before prac-
-tically all colleges will be forced to
adopt these rules or be left out in the
cold when it comes to arranging salts
factory schedules"
This year the Johnnies will have
played against three teams that have
the freshman rule. The Crabtown coll
lege was not allowed to use f1rst-year
men in the William and Mary tilt, and
can not play them in the games with
Virginia and Washington and Lee.
Such a change will probably mean
that st. Johns will have freshman
teams In the future.

Va oO VIII 1OOh O1ls
Harvard-Army-At Cambridge. A
game that may have a distinct bearing
on Eastern rankings. Harvard has
much the better line-Army the more
dangerous backfield, with eagle, Murrel
and others. eagle is half a team when
given anything like a chance. He may
have his trouble today If the Army line
doesn't improve, for the Crimson for
wards are good enough to bother any
offenSe. Harvard has a good back
field, but not a great one. If her de-
tense can surround eagle the Crimson
side should win.
Dartmouth Columbia-At New York.
A meeting of two leading backf1eld stars
will take place when Hewitt of Column
bia and MarsterS of Dartmouth get
into action. Dartmouth looks to have
more all-round strength and should win,
but not by any decisive score. When
MarsterS IS right there is no better back
In the country.
Notre Dame Wisconsin-At Chicago.
Wisconsin will need every angle of her
defense working to block the path of
Rockne's fast, hard-running backs.
Wisconsin is good this season, but Notre
Dame is better and should win. The
conference team will find 1t hard to
gain ground against Notre Danes first
squad, for the line Is almost as good as
the backheld:
N. Y. U.-Penn State-At New York
N. Y. U. is well below last seasons
standard, with SO many missing, and
Penn State has not been tested suf-
ficiently to furnish any accurate line
on its real strength. BeZdek, however,
expected to have a better team than
he had last season. If he has, the
Nittany Lions should have the edge,
but there won't be much to spare.
Fordham- Holy Cross-At New York.
One of the hardest battles in the East.
Frank Cavanaugh has team worth
looking at this season, an aggressive
OUTFIT, with flrSt-claSS passing game.
Holy Cross is always well up, but on
this occasion Fordham should have the
call.
Northwestern-M Minnesota AT Evans
ton. This will bring about clash be-
tween two of the strongest teams in
the Western Conference-bothu nbeaten,
both out after the championship. Min
nesota has big, fast outfit, but North
western has the same. This is another
one of those contests that will be close
enough to have the breaks decide the
battle.
Tennessee alabama AT Knoxville.
Two of the strongest teams In the
South will meet to drop at least one
likely contender from the race. Ten
nessee has the edge, with more backf1eld
stuff, McEver being one of the seasons
stars. Alabama looks to have one of
her best teams since the Crimson Tide
was running high, but Tennessee has
the edge.
Georgia -Florida-At Atlanta. A
game Harvard scouts will watch with
interest. Georgia Tech has eaSed of
from last season and Florida looks to
be fully as strong as she was year
ago. The beating Georgia Tech took
from North Carolina will be q help.
Not much to choose from in q meeting
of two good backfields.
Michigan Ohio State-At Ann Arbor
The trimming that Michigan took from
Purdue should give the Wolverines a
better chance. Purdue Is strong, but
Michigan is stronger than the Maize
and Blue looked to be that day. Ohio
State was good enough to edge out
Iowa, but in this clash Michigan has
. thin jump.
