GALA AFFAIR
 TURNED INTO
 DEATH SCENE
Tragic Event Takes Place at Festivities Bodies
 Badly Charred, Fire

GILLINGHAM, England, July 12. While laughing thousands watch ed today what they thought was a fire-fighting show, II boy naval cadet firemen were burned to death and six were seriously injured and taken to St. Bartholomews Hos pital in aid of which the fete was given.
 A specially constructed model house was designed to be the scene of a fire brigade rescue but in- stead became the horrifying death trap of the boys who so eagerly were taking part in the festivities.
 The youngsters, dressed in clown suits, made frantic efforts to es- cape, bringing only great applause from the throng of specta tors thinking it part of the show.
 In five minutes the flames had destroyed the oil-soaked canvas and all that was left were charred bodies of the youths and the gaunt skeleton of the model house.
 Frantic parents gathered at the mortuary seeking their sons bodies. Only five of the II dead have been identified, so badly charred were the bodies.

ELEVEN DIE IN FLAMES AS IMMENSE CROWD LAUGHS
LECCE. HOOPER FARM BOARD CHOICE
 EMPLOYED BARTER TO AID FARMERS

CHICAGO, H., July 12.-Alexan- der Legge, President of the Inter- national Harvester Company, has been selected by President Hoover as Chairman of the new Federal Farm Relief Board.
 So reticent is this raw-boned 65- year-old Westerner that the pub licity department of the harvester company knew scarcely more about him than his associates. And they knew about as much as the Who's Who" which has exactly seven lines on this man-head of the worlds largest farm implement house.
 Legge came out of the Nebraska hinterland, virtually an untutored plainsman, one day in 1891. and went to work for the Mccormick Harvester company as collector It was a tough job for the silent Cornhusker, who stood six feet two in his socks.
 Money was not so plentiful in the corn belt, even in those days, and Legge had to work hard to collect the company's bills. He did it, however, working a side line of selling the debtors some thing new in the implement line. In 1894 he jumped to Council Bluffs, Iowa, as collection manager, and became branch manager four years later.
 While at Council Bluffs, Legge met Harold Mccormick, son of the founder, who was learning the busi- ness. McCormick's impression of the branch boss remained and step by step Legge mounted. When Mccormick retired as head of the International, Legge was his choice as the successor.
 Legge is particularly familiar with farm conditions in general, and specifically, too. His company main tains an elaborate system of cor respondence whereby community situations are reported.

 Complete Milling Plant

A ball mill of 250 to 300 tons daily capacity will be installed as soon as possible at Funter Bay by the Admiralty Alaska Gold Mining Company, it was made known today by Sam Pekovich, general mana ger, who has just returned from a six-months business trip to the States. Equipment anG supplies will begin arriving at Funter Bay by July 20 and everything will be on hand within 30 or 40 days from that date.
 Ample finances are available for installation of the new machinery and putting the mine into produc- tion, MT. Pekovieh said If the plant proves successful, money is already on hand for expanding milling facilities on Q large scale.
 MT. Pekovich said the company has purchased and will install a ball mill, crusher, Notation machin- cry and aerial tramway for 250 to 300-ton daily capacity plant. This, he added, is intended as a pilot mill to experiment on the production of nickel, copper and cobalt, as well as gold and silver
 If the plant can treat success fully this ore, it will be handled in this manner. if not, smelter will be put on the ground to pro- duce blister ore, and possibly later refinery will be added to the establishment, said MT. Pekovich.
 Definite contracts have been sign ed, he added, for all the products of the plant and prices are in pro- portion to the metallic contents either in the form on concentrates matte or blister, of the combined metals or of each individually.
 The first shipment of equipment will leave Seattle July 20 on the Latouche or Cordova and will in- clude the aerial tram and possible crushing machinery and Notation equipment. All of the materials should be on the ground within 30 or 40 days from that time and in- stallation of the plant will be started about August 1, when the engineering crew to direct the work, will arrive from the States.
 A crew of 40 or more men will be engaged in construction of the plant. It is planned to rush this work as rapidly as circumstances will permit. we hope to have the mill in operation and producing late this fall, and to make initial shipments before the end of the year." MT. Pekovich added.
 He and Mrs. Pekovich left here last January and spent about six weeks in Seattle. They went to New York where financial arrange ments were made for plant con- struction, operation and expansion. They visited St. Louis, Salt Lake City, Denver and San Francisco in purchasing equipment and reach ed Seattle early this month, coming north at once.
