FAIRFAX MASTER
GOES ON ] TRIAL
Reckless Operation OF Vessel
in Pinthis Sinking Is
Charged.
Nv the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NORFOLK, Va, August 12.-Capt.
Archibald H. Brooks, master OF the
Merchants 81 Miners steamer Fairfax,
arraigned before board Of United
States steamboat inspectors here today
upon four charges growing out OF the
collision of the Fairfax with the tanker
Pinthis in Massachusetts, Bay on sthe
night of June 10, pleaded not guilty to
all four charges.
The charges, as read to Capt. Brooks
by Capt. T. J. Hanlon, who is sitting
with Capt ]. E. Tarkenton in the hear
ing Of evidence, were as follows:
Reckless operation of the Fairfax at
a speed Of approximately lott knots an
hour through dense fog, operation OF
the vessel in violation of article l6 Of
the pilotage rules for inland waters pre-
scribing moderate speed in fog, un-
skillfulness in the failure to make prop
err maneuver to avoid striking the,
Pinthis after the tanker was sighted by
the lookout aboard the Fairfax and
negligence in failing to make a proper
and diligent search of the waters about
the Fairfax for persons who. jumped
overheard from the steamer after the
collision.
Ralph Eliassen of Belmont, Mass, Q
student at the Massachusetts Institute
of Technology, was the first witness
called. He testified that he was stand
ing on the bow of the Fairfax at the
time of the collision and that when
the Pinthis suddenly loonned out of the
fog on the starboard side of the Fairfax
she was headed directly across the bow
of the Fairfax and at q distance Of not
more than 200 feet. The Fairfax, he
said, was blowing fog signals at regular
intervals. He heard only one signal
from the Pinthis and that was stimuli
taneous with his sighting her as she
suddenly emerged from the fog.
The Pinthis, he said, was struck
some distance aft and had almost
cleared the Fairfax when the bow Of
the steamer plunged into her starboard
side.
Harold Trayers Of Gloversville, N. c.,
an electrical engineer, testified that he
was standing near the bow of the Fair
fax for approximately IS minutes be-
fore the collision with the Pinthis. He
replied affirmatively when asked If he
| heard any whistle blown by the Fair
| fax, adding that the whistle was loud
one and that he heard it blown all the
| way down the bay and up until the
| time of the collision. He stated that
he saw the Pinthis before the crash.

Bombs Made Of Dynamite

The bombing plane yesterday ap-
peared from the direction Of Harris
burg. H., and dropped the first bomb
north of here. The plane then dived
over Providence and dropped two more
bombs on the outskirts Of the city. An
other bomb was dropped ut the entrance
to the Ruckman mine, but it failed to
explode. Five more bombs were dropped
as the plane gained altitude. They fell
near properties Of the Meador Young
g. Holt Coal Co. and the Diamond Coal
Mining Co., but only two exploded.
An examination of the unexploded
bombs revealed that they were made
of dynamite wrapped with tape, with
fuses attached.

The prospects OF this inquiry were
not rated very bright by Mr.. Young or
his assistants, on the ground that the
pilot of plane engaged upon an un-
lawful bomb-dropping mission would
disguise the machine license number
as quickly as would q bank bandit
dealing with the tags on an automobile
used for criminal purposes.
The Assistant Secretary added that
the operators OF the plane indulging in
the Kentucky exploit violated several
sections of the Federal statutes regu-
lating aeronautics. These were listed
as transporting explosives without spe-
cial license, deliberately dropping dan
gerous objects from aircraft; and, pre-
sumably, tampering with their license
labels.
Orders were issued for q check by
the continental inspectors Of the recent
movements of several suspected planes,
though IL was deemed inadvisable TO
disclose all the details of the counter
action Mr.. Young ordered.

itself more understandable, especially by

Ever since the organization found

The initial step in the organizations
campaign Is a drive for membership,

ing their first defeat in 35
games last week. Loyola University
cagers will attempt to start another
long winning streak tomorrow night
in Pittsburgh against Duquesne Uni
versity. Georgetown will be met in
Washington next Monday.
Loyola's modern consecutive winning
record of "a games was shattered last
week at Lafayette, Ind, when Purdue,
Big Ten basket ball leaders, won Is
TOGO decision in an overtime battle.
The streak started during the season
of 1928.
In that game Charles (Fee6 Murphy,
lanky Loyola captain and center, proved
that he was a great pinch player With
only seconds to play, Loyola Jagged,
90 to IT.. Murphy Gagged one from the
field and was fouled by Capt. Charley
(Stretch) Murphy of Purdue. He made
the throw and tied the game, but Pur-
due got the jump in the overtime to
win.
Loyola will bring into the East its
bathing slow offensive that has proved
an enigma to rival teams Capt. Muir
ply, because of his great height, usual
ly gets the tipof and a Rambler guard
tears in and usually gets the ball. Muir
ply runs down to the free throw line,
carefully plants his feet with his back
to his own goal
From here he is the key of the Logo
Ia offensive. He takes the ball, feeding
it to his forwards for open shots at the
basket. Occasionally he will execute
neat pivot and try for the basket
himself, usually with success. The
Loyola team will not shoot for the hoop
back of the free-throw line, playing
on the theory of keeping possession of
the ball until an almost sure chance
crops up to score.
Loyola has a chance to start build
ing another envious record on its East
ern invasion, meeting five other strong
teams besides Duquesne. The Chicago
team defeated Duquesne earlier in the
season, when the fasteners ventured
into the West.
