ARMY STUNTER
BLAMED FOR
TRAGEDY
&

LOS ANGELES, Calf. April %
HN.s).-Jack Maddux. president
or the Maddux Airlines, today
charged the Army and Navy pilots
ut San Diego had persistentiy
made a practice of "stunting
around passenger planes OF his com
pany during the past.
"I have lodged numerous com.
plants with both Army and Navy
officers" he said, but apparently
NO effort was made to curp thAS
dangerous practice. ~.
In commenting on the air com
sion which resulted in the death
Of six persons at San D1ego yes
terday, Maddux continued:
1--WE have so witnesses that this
tragedy was caused by an Army
pilot pursuing our passenger plane,
attempting the hazardous "barrei
rolr' and then crashing into the
left wing of the passenger plane.
am very bitter over this accident
which was entirely avoidable ana
8enseless."
SAN DIEGO, Cal, April p
GN.s.l-A double investigation was
te~be launched today into the col
lision of two airplanes which yes
terdav snuffed out the lives of six
persons.
The tragedy occurred 1000 feet
over San Diego when an Army pur-
suit plane Slipped" against giant
+ri.motored Maddux air liner, caus-
ing both to crash to earth
The lone occupant of the Army
nIane and all five persons in the
air liner were killed outright.
Trying War Stunts
The dead:
Morris Murphy, veteran air pilot,
who was at the controls of the
Maddux ship.
Louis Pratt. assistant pilot.
Cecelia Kelly, IS, of Phoenix.
A. Eaujardo, a Mexican, of San
Diego.
Amelia Eaujardo. his sister, also
Of San Diego.
Lieut.. Glen H. Keefer, Army re-
serve pilot, stationed temporarily
at rockwell Field, San Diego.
Although accounts differed the
majority of witnesses declared that
Keefer, playing hair-breadtn
rame with death about the great
liner. had sent his fast pursuit ship
into one mad stunt after another
about 1t. Finally he misjudged his
distance and locked wings with the
other machine.
just for Thrill
As far as could be determined,
Keefer was flying high overhead
when the slower passenger plane
hove into sight on its regular trip
from Los Angeles to Phoenix, Ariz.
The service pilot, apparently in
tent on giving, the passengers in
the Maddux liner a thrill, dived

influence was m estimate that

suit was q rise in wheat quotations ut
Liverpool, whereas decline had been
looked for.
Friends OF higher prices for wheat
gave particular stress today to the
fact that wheat future deliveries were
around zoe bushel lower than year
ago, and to assertions that this had
discounted bearish features. It was
also pointed out that soil conditions
in Canada were still too dry. that
there were also possibilities Of crop
damage ahead in spring wheat this
side of the Canadian line, and that
passage Of farm aid legislation at
Washington could not be other than
bulliSh.
Unfavorable weather for field work
was bullish factor In the corn mar
ket today. Notice was also taken
that primary receipts Of corn today
were only &c., 900 bu.. against $4,000
bu. week ago and 500. 900 bu., on the
corresponding day last year. The
