 Tn view Of thls situation there- fore so far IS the determination of this demurrer is concerned. assun- ing as c0ntended by the defendants that q formal demand upon the maker for payment is essential to convert the guarantor's obligation into a debt am satisfied to adopt the broader and more liberal rule as COntended for by the plaintiff and laid down by the courts of other jurisdictions where cases have arisen upon all fours with the one at bar. The general principle has been well stated thus: Claims that arise from contract are in force from the date Of the agreement. The liability arises at that time, although no demand accrues until afterwards. # A creditor within the statute against frauds, as to whom a fraudulent conveyance is void, is not necessarily one who has a demand which is due. or running to maturity or who has an existing cause of action. Who- ever has claim or demand on a contract in existence at the time when q fraudHlent conveyance is made creditor 'within the meaning of the statute. and the holder Of contingent claim is as fully protected by the statute as one that is abso- mte,' 12 k.

 Tn the light of these authorities
 
 grounds of demurrer is we'll taken and this conclusion renders the other ground thereof immaterial. The demurrer is therefore overrul- ed.'

 Requested to Make Trip
 Lowe who is also a resident Of Springfield, and McGill, were r2- quested by Representative Kaynor to accompany him on the flight to Massachusetts.
 kaynor only recently had been placed on the house military con- mittee and today's tragedy ended his first journey in an airplane.
 Captain Dinyer was considered one ot the most expert aviators in the army. He personally piloted Chair man James of the house military committee recently on a trip of oO,- GOO miles over the country for in- spection purposes
 Representative Kaynor was serv- Ing his first term in congress, having been elected in November a year ago. He was born in San born, Iowa. in 1894, was q graduate of Yale in 1912 and was manager of the foot ball team there. Prior to his cleo ton to congress he had served as postmaster at Springfield, Mass, fo~ six years, and formerly was chair man Of the republican city commit tee.
 Second Congressional Crash
 The death of Representative Kay nor marked the second of a member of congress in an airplane accident A year or more ago Representative Ihaddeus Sweet was in fatal crash in New York state.
New Britain herald., 1929-12-20

First arrivals at Boiling Field after the accident were met at the gates by sentries who had orders 10 allow no one to enter, but even these precautions failed to prevent news of the accident from leaking out.
 The assistant secretary of war in charge of aviation r. Trubee Davi- son, was one of the first to be in. formed but in the confusion which ensued even he had only incomplete information. Likewise word was transmitted to the White House, but with the exception of names of those killed, no details were available.
 Weather conditions were perfect for flying, with hardly a cloud in the sky when the plane ascended. The cause of the, accident. therefore. must be attributed to other than at- mospheric conditions.
 Dingcr Lived in Mayport
 Captain Dinger was a resident of Mayport, la. while McGil. said to be close friend of kaynor left uis forwarding address. always taken at the field when civilians go into the air, as in care of Mrs. Sullivan Bur- eess. of Scarsdale, New York.
 The crash occurred. some ground observers said, when Captain Dinger attempted to bank his plane with the wind. It seemed to come down as it such a maneuver was intended an1 then 1t failed to rise at the proper time.
 The wrecked machine was Folk ker trimotoerd plane known as the "C-3.' These ships have unusual power.
 Mr. Davison went immediately 10 the field. He said the plane which he had used himself was turned over to Representative Kaynor for the trip. It was considered one Of the best planes in the service. Cap tain Dinger was especially asked :o take over the plane for the trip 10 Massachusetts
 Both Leave Families
 Representative Kaynor had six children. five boys and one girl. Lowe had three children. Friends said they had planned to surprise their families by arriving home lv air for the holidays Neither Mrs. kaynor nor Mrs. Lowe knew of the plans for the flight.
 When the big ship fell it crumplal into heap few feet from the spot where Lieut.. George Cuddihy, the crack naval flier, met his death in all accident few days ago. Enlist ed men who rushed to the wrecka-e eNtricated the bodies without great difficulty.
 Some of those at the field sad Captain Dinger apparently decided to make a landing while still at q height of 150 feet but that the plane became unmanageable.

THE EDITORIAL eve"

We never understood until just the
other day why it was that anyone who
writes an article savoring of an edi-
torial is supposed to use the personal
pronoune "we," whenever referring to
himself. We presumed, generally,
that it was simply a broad gesture to
modesty.
But standing near the postoffice the
other day we overheard a fellow
discussing some of the articles APP
pearing in this column and from his
manner he didn't entirely agree with
us.
We didn't hear everything he said,
as we sort of sidestepped, not wishing
to be too close if he got excited.
Then it was that we came to the
conclusion that the use of eve" had
it's practical side. In short, if any
thing appears in a column of news
paper at which a citizen takes offense,
he examines it to see if he can find the
author. But the closest he can come
to finding out is the word eve" That
being the case, he rushes to the sane
tum and takes a crack at the editor,
