THREE ARE KILLED
IN REBUILT PLANE
Unlicensed Pilot Flying Craft,
Powered by Obsolete
Motor.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CAMPBELLSVILLE, KY, August 7
"A rebuilt plane, piloted by a youth
full unlicensed student pilot and pow
cred with a motor of a type declared
obsolete by the War Department. fell
into an alley in the center Of the town
late yesterday, and the pilot and his
two passengers met death as the
wreckage was consumed by flames.
Hundreds Of persons saw the plane
60 into a spin at an altitude of about
500 feet and careen to the earth, but
were helpless to rescue the three from
the flames.
The pilot was Francis Mitchell, IS
of Louisville and his passengers Carl
z. Carter, %, drug store owner, and
Flave Courts, %. a clerk in the store
Mitchell and Irwin Voigt, Jefferson
Vile, Ind, owners Of the plane. had
flown it here the day before and had
been taking up passengers on sight
seeing trips. Voigt saw the crash from
the landing field a mile and half from
the town, which they had rented from
a farmer.
Mitchell had between IS and SO
hours in the air as a pilot to his credit
his friends at Louisville said. He had
been employed about a year with the
Fairchild Co. in New York as q me-
chanic, and also in the same capacity
by the CurtiSS- Robertson Co., st. Louis
Voigt bought the plane from pre-
vious owner in April. 1t had been
smashed last Fall at Glasgow, KY. but
had been repaired and been flown
many hours since then.

who support Brown or stay away from
the polls and upon the solidity with
which the Republicans vote for the
fusion candidate. There were evidences
that some Of the Republicans OF the
State were displeased with the idea Of
nominating a Democrat. But the lead
ership demanding his nomination at the
hands of the Republican convention
prevailed. 1t seems shreWd politics.
Attacks May Be Boomerang.
Attacks made on Bishop Cannon,
his supporters hold are likely to prove
a boomerang. Some of the regular
Democrats are in quandary whether to
intensity their attacks on the bishop or
to drop them. There is the danger %
making a martyr of him politically and
thereby rousing an element that might
otherwise be content to 60 along with
the regular candidate.
The election this year will have its
bearing on what is to happen in the
congressional elections next year in Vir-
ginia. Senator Carter Glass. who has
been bitterly at odds with Bishop Can
non and anti-Smith Democrats, is up
| for reelection. The Republicans. with
anti-Smith Democratic support, elected
three members Of the House last year,
and they. too. are up for reelection.
Prof. Pollard supported the Demo-
cratic nominee for President. AL Smith
last year during the campaign. The
anti-Smith Democratic organization is
seeking to make Smith and Raskob the
great issue, along with prohibition, in
the campaign this year. Regular Demo-
Gratis assert that these issues are dead
and cannot be brought to life. They
point out that Prof. Pollard is a dry
and has always been so.
Pollard had the backing in the pri-
mary campaign of the Byrd organiza-
ton. which is synonymous with the
regular organization of the State. Mr..
| Mapp, a strong prohibitionist, was
strongly supported by stable group
in the party. But the organization
demonstrated its power again. The
nomination of Pollard is regarded as
a hearty Endorsement by the Democrats
of the administration of Gov. Byrd.
The regular Democrats declare that
the primary campaign leaves no sore
spots and that the supporters Of all
three candidates will line up for Pol
lard. Primary campaigns, however,
when an election must be held later.
are not always conducive to party har-

quired to fly the planes from coast to

tempting to bride an Associated Press

lister Meftah was out OF town at the
time of the arrest and said today that
the chauffeur was not authorized TO use

In a conservation with o reporter
from The Star today, the Persian Min

to diplomatic immunity:
MY chauffeur was using the legation
car without permission when arrested
last week" he said. Il felt that under
the circumstances was not justified in
claiming immunity for him.
while l cannot say I never will
claim the privilege Of this immunity, I
do wish to make it clear that attaches

violate at will the trafhc regulations
here and then escape punishment I'M

fact. II the circumstances warrant. the
offender shall be punished by law and
also by me.
Il feel that the laws and regulations
are made for the benefit OF all, and

No one from the legation was with
the chauffeur when he was arrested,
He was charged with driving 80 miles
