Der 24.-Fate's q queer thing.
Pilot Benjamin Jones' airplane fell
several hundred feet yesterday on the
home Of Mrs Elizabeth Kirschner.
Her son, Walter Schneider, was late
in taking his usual afternoon nap. His
bed was directly in the path of the
falling motor.
Her daughter, Isabelle Schneider,
missed her train from New York. Had
she arrived at her usual hour she most
likely would have been In her room, the
ceiling Of which was crushed by the
plane.
Mrs Kirschner herself left the kitchen
just moment before the crash. The
last thing she did was to turn out the
gas stove. Not long afterward the place
was drenched with gasoline from the
broken tanks of the plane.
The pilot himself escaped harm when
tree wedged the plane against the
house long enough to permit him to
climb out safely.

Prisoners Not Watched Closely.
Another aviator, Eduardo Reyes. es-
caped with Franco. Prison authorities
said that neither had been watched very
closely, and that both had given their
word OF honor not to attempt a break
away.
Fearing that Maj Franco would at
tempt to get plane TO fly out OF Spain
the government established watch at
all aviation fields and airdromeS. me
authorities conceded that he might md
a haven in the home of a friend and
hide there Indefinitely until he could
leave the country in disguise.
Shortly before noon Premier Gen..
Beresguer went to the palace to inform
King Alfonso of Frances escape.

Reyes fed is an old convent on the out
skirts &c Madrid, used for the most part
TO keep political prisoners and conyicts

military ofenses" never ofhcially spe-
cited publicly, but commonly con-
strued to have reference to alleged
republican activities. He was con-
IlQually In cOnL1cL WIFI the Q1StatOISLJp
of Gen. Primo de Rivera, and lost
favor with the government Of Gen.
Berenguer soon after Primo's fall.
Wrote Articles From Prison.
After his Imprisonment he continued
to write occasional articles, and 1t was
on some Of these that the government
based their charges of seditious utter
ance. three charges being pending
against Franco.
He was received as a national hero
after the flight of his plane, the Ne Plus
Ultra, from Palos, Spain, TO Pernam-
buco, Brazil, In 1926, with Maj. Fran
cisco de Aida. Another tumultous well
come was given him last year after an
unsuccessful second attempt to cross
the Atlantic when he fell and was lost
for a week OF the Azores.
At that time the dictatorship declared
that he diSobeyed orders, took non.
Spanish plane for the flight, and gen.
orally was otherwise insubordinate.
Franco replied with allegations Of in
efficiency of the air service, and de.
clared that If he had followed instruc-
tons he would have had too great
handicap TO give him any chance OF
success In his flight. ~
The authorities had intended to In
clude Franco in the list Of Christmas
pardons. Now, II he Is captured, new
and more serious charges are likely to
be preferred against him. "

SOLUTION TO YESTERDAY The Second Strn

Pillsbury, the author, did solyc part of this. He must be given credit for noticing that one tire track was wider than the other.
 "Flat tirc?" he asked Mcdron ad- mitted it. Pillsbury couldn't get any fugther.
 "The second step" Mcdron eX- plaincd was 10 Gosto all the garages near there and find out if a flat tire had been fixed within twenty-four hours. naming the size and make of tire. Unger found that young man, same nationality as the murdered girl had flat fixed at the nearest garage to the dirt road
 With that to work on he got eN- dcnce 10 prove that the young man was married. that the murdered girl didn't know it and for the age-old reasons demanded that he marry her. He thought that killing her was his only way out.
 The second Step here is obvious. When you get q flat tire you go to the nearest garage or fix it your self. With garages so near these days it is cheaper to have it fixed than to spoil good clothes doing it your self. Unger worked on that idea and cleared the mystery.
