CLAIMS FOR STREET
|. PAVING PROTESTED
so Owners of Property, Al
Ieging repayment, Will
Appeal Cases to Court.

Claiming they already had, paid for
the street paving in front Of their
homes when they bought the property
from a real estate development concern
which laid the streets, so owner-resi-
dents Of Fifth street between Long
fellow and Peabody streets will appeal
to the courts for a decision.
This course was decided upon at a
meeting Of the Manor Park Citizens
Association last night when r. S. Will
kins was named chairman OF a COM
mittee to carry the fight.
According to explanations made at
last nights meeting. the owners bought
their houses with the street improve
ments completed. The paving, they
understood had ben paid for by the
house builders and that cost included
in the price of the homes. Subse-
quently. the paving was condemned and
replaced, and the cost of the work was
levied against the houses under pro-
visions Of the Borland paving law. The
property owners last night characterized
this system as double assessments"
In the same meeting Mrs. ]. g.
Brown was elected president Of the
Manor Park Citizens Association. Mrs
Brown succeeds ]. D. Smoot.

BEDFORD, England, october L
With the caption, Indictment" an
editorial appearing in a local news
paper, the Bedford Record, today as
serted that the disaster to the R-lOi'
which cost the lives of so many resi-
dents Of this region, need not and
ought not to have happened.
The paper declared that the airshlp

before having been properly tested, with
one engine out of order, just after she
had shown q tendency to dip at the
nose and with weather conditions I'M
favorable to the flight
ForebOdings Confirmed.
Our brave men were sacrificed to

ton concludes the article. Who
did 1t?"
The record says that first accounts
of the disaster confirm in cruel fashion
the worst forebodings of many who
watched with anxious interest the all
too rapid execution Of her alterations
and all too casual preparations after
ward for her flight. Let there be no
mistake about this. The one point
which struck the casual and ignorant
observer when the R-1o1 returned from

The newspaper comments on the air.

flying and apparent sluggiShness. why
did they let her go? They knew she
was dipping at the nose, and they knew,
as the man in the street did not, that

had not been tested properly, and they
knew that one engine at least was out
Of order. They knew that she was too
heavy, to begin with, and that climatic
conditions were against them, and yet
they let her CO."
The editorial recalled how Solomon
August Andree, the Swedish balloonist,
was reported to have been driven to
take to the air on his flight toward the
North Pole against his better judgment
ain order to keep a faith that he had
never pledged" and adds: How much
of that spirit was abroad on Saturday

pected only to circle over the departing
British ships and return home.
Reports were current locally that the
investigating committee had reached
some decision as to why the R-101
crashed and was destroyed, but men,
bers Of the commission would say only
that anything to be published must be
given out in London There was evil
depce of profound depression everywhere.
Premiers Telegram.
After the train had left for Boulogne-
Sur-Mer, Premier Tardieu telegraphed
Prime Minister Macdonald as follows:
I'VE have just paid last honors to the
dead of the R-101. All the people OF
France in heartfelt spontaneity have
joined the government of France in its
homage.
{, May our affection bring to the fam
lilies of the victims and to your country
the comfort of friendship in your pro-
found bereavement"
All festivities were suspended through
out France today, and flags everywhere
were at half mast.
Officially, at least, the number OF
those to die in the disaster has been
settled. Air Comdr. F. v. Holt, in
catastrophe, when supervising transfer
of the bodies from the pine shells to
oaken caskets, found that two pine shells
held what were believed to be parts of
the same body, previously identified as
two corpses
The body, badly burned, had fallen
apart when retrieved from the ruins
and had been mistaken as two. The
discovery made it appear that only As

one died yesterday, the total, 81, con-
forming with the air mintstry's total OF

clew to significance of a woman's

which was found in the debris. 1t was
suggested it might have been talisman
of a romantic adventure carried by-one
of the crew or passengers.
Five bodies have been identified, all
those of members of the crew. They
are Assistant Coxswain w. A. Potter,
Rigger E. G. Rudd and Engineers r.
Blake, w. H. King and S. e. Scott.
Since identification of the remainder
probably will prove impossible, the
British government has suggested to
families of the victims that the bodies
be buried in one grave, probably at
Cardington. Interrnent will be delayed
until answers are received to the gov
ernment's request, but memorial serv-
ice probably will be held Wednesday at
st. Paul's Cathedral London.
The Franco British investigation Of
the tragedy proceeded today, with in
vestigators searching for the log of the
ship. All British expert would say
as to findings thus far was that the in
vestigation probably would be long and
extremely complex. Although not at
tributing loss of the ship to that alone,
Comdr. Holt said it was probable that
the altimeter functioned imperfectly at
the time of the crash.

tails of running a thouSand-room

he spent visiting embassies and lega-

tention to details Of hotel running he
never realized existed. When he re-

by one of the other assistant managers.
Frock coat and all, he went down into
the kitchen, shook hands with the chefs,
the scullery maids, the dishwashers and
all the rest of the hired help the casual
guests at hotels never see.
"You see," he explained, "in this new

 These will be held by the police until MT. Lynch calls for them or if he is unable to get to Boston. they will be mailed to him at the address bn the automobile certificates.
 According to the police, Williams was greatly surprised when he was confronted by the two inspectors On the way to the police station Williams said, I've heard of you fellows but never saw you before. The inspectors, however, had often seen him and he had been covered from the minute he stepped off the train in Boston.

FORECLOSURE SUIT
 1 ON BLOCK DROPPED
Attachment on Schupack Main
 Street Property Released

Attachments on the Stanley build ing on Main street, a Hart street residence and an automobile were released today in a settlement of mortgage suit between the defend- ants, Morris Schupack estate, and the plaintiff, Emanuel Richman. The suit was for the foreclosure of mortgage note of sS9,000.
 It was claimed by the plaintiffs that taxes were not paid but the de- fendants paid the taxes and today papers releasing the property were filed.
 The suit was considered one of the largest brought in many years. Judge Brown and Judge Yeomans of supreme court signed orders, one to prevent the transfer of stock and another for the appointment of 1s- sac Milkowicz as receiver.
 The original mortgage amounted to s97,00O, but it was reduced to $S9,0o0. Attorney Harry Mllkowicz acted for the plaintiff and it was | necessary for two process servers, Deputy Sheriff Martin H. Horwitz and Constable John Recor, to work several hours to garnishee holdings of the estate.
 The plaintiff sued for foreclosure, possession, receiver of rents. dea- ciency judgment and an injunction enjoining Lena and Henry Schupack from transferring any interest they | have in the estate.
