PARACHUTE RECORD
BELIEVED BROKEN
Bert White Jumps From Approx
mately 5000 Feet-Figures
to Be Checked.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LOS ANGELES, May 26-Bert White,
81. today held the unofficial worlds
parachute jump record, the result Of a
leap yesterday from an airplane as 1t
scared $4,000 feet above the Mojave
Desert near Lancaster, Calf.
Trusting his life to the silken fabric,
White dropped from the plane piloted
by Earl Gordon and hurtled through
the air in what was believed the highest
altitude jump ever attempted by man.
He said he was unconscious from the
time he leaped until somewhere in mid
air, and that he landed % minutes
after regaining his senses. His para
chute was tripped automatically by q
cord attached to the plane.
Some concern was felt for White after
Gordon landed and reported that he
had been unable to locate the parachute
rider in the air. Gordon said he dived
and circled the spot where White
jumped. but the wind evidently carried
the parachute away from the course of
the plane. The jumper was not located
until an hour after he reached the
ground. He suffered no i'll effects, except
temporary loss of speech
A sealed Paragraph, which White car
ried strapped to his body, will be sent
TO Washington for official celebration.
White hopes to receive credit for break
ing the record of 24,4o2 feet established
by Capt. w. A. Stevens at McCook Field,
Dayton, Ohio, in 1922.

MISS BELLE" WHO PLEDGED
LIFE TO SICK KEEPS FAITH
Orphan, Reared by Sisters,
Brightens Providence Hos
pital for So Years.
Injured 10 Years Ago. She
Continues Service in
Wheel Chair.
BY GRETCHEN S. SMITH.

Sixty-three years ago a girl Of Is
entered Providence Hospital suffering
from a slight affection of the eyes.
Motherless and fatherless since baby
hood she had been brought up by the
sisters, under whose care she was taken
to the hospital as a patient. In the
hospital the girl came face to face with
suffering and sickness and made
promise that If she recovered she would
devote the remainder of her life nurs-
ing the sick in the hospital.
Within a short time the eye trouble
disappeared and, true to her promise
Belle Moore started her training in
Providence Hospital That was in 1857.
and until 10 years ago when she fell
and broke her leg, Miss Moore saw I'M
interrupted service with the sick and
needy Of Providence.
Literally thousands of sufferers have
known the kindly care of Miss Belle"
as she is known to all Hundreds of
babies have received their first earthly
attention from the little old lady, who
now pushes about the fourth floor of
Providence Hospital in a wheel chair,
unable to give physical help to Others
but still intensely interested and SYM
pathetically concerned about the welfare
OF patients. Hundreds who have gone
into the great beyond have closed their
eyes in the last sleep with Miss Belle
standing by to give every possible COM
fort to the end.
Most persons who have lived unto
the fourth generation, as has Miss
Belle, will make unfavorable COMPARE
sons between the present and the past
But it is not so with her. Unstinting
praise Is expressed by this oldest resi-
dent OF Providence Hospital, for the
progress OF modern science. Though
she no longer is able to serve on active
duty, Miss Belle keeps up with the
times, and in her room may be found
numerous publications and periodicals
on modern medicine.
IT love to read" she said. "Particu-
larly professional books and-poetry!"
Strange extremes In literature it may
seem, but characteristic of the gentle
little lady's life. All the efficiency &C
quired from years of study and train
ing has been used by Miss Belle in
nursing the sick back to health. With

ed body of Superior Judge Edward W.

quarry at Clifton street, near Broad
way, Oakland. within few blocks of
his home. The jurist, who had been
missing since week ago Friday, had
fallen ITS feet from the crest of the
quarry. which adjoins a cemetery.
The quarry, owned by the Oakland
Paving Co., had been searched for days
by police and possemen accompanied
by dogs. That the body of Judge Engs,
who disappeared after a nervous break
down occasioned by the strain of a
court trial, was not found earlier, was
explained by the fact he fell by clump
Of willow trees, the foliage of the trees
almost exactly matched the judges

Coroner Grant D. Miller and DR..
N. N. Ashley. county autopsy surgeon,
examined the body They reported that
while the immediate cause of death was
an internal hemorrhage of the lungs,
Judge EngS body was literally crushed.
No evidence of foul play was dis
covered. Examination of a ledge at
the quarry's crest disclosed a fragment
of slippery bark, crushed as though by
foot. 1t was probable, Coroner Mil

LAKE RUM RUNNERS
NEAR END OF CAREER
Canada Ban on Liquor Exports
Soon to Be Enforced, Expected
to Block Trade.
BY the Associated Press.


BUFFALO, N. Y, May 26.-The
halycon days of rum runners on the
Great Lakes are nearing an end.
Within a week, as soon as the Cover
nof General of Canada afflxes his sig
nature to the liquor export ban bill.
Buffalo and other border cities will be
affected tremendously from an alcoholic
point of view.
The mosquito feet that legally oper-
ates out of Bridgeburg, Port Colborne
and other ports in Ontario and which
conveys most of the Illicit supply of
liquor to this side, will be legislated
out of existence. Any alcoholic beverage
exported out Of the province will be
exported Illegally, If destined for the
United States, which means the haz-
ard of liquor smuggling will be in
creased doubly. There will be no more
shipping legally from well appointed
docks. What smuggling is done, and
Canadian officials believe there will not
be much, will be from isolated spots.
The smugglers now have to contend
only with the American authorities.
When the new law goes into effect, they
will have to outwit both Canadian and
United States officials.
Buffalo newspapers predict increased
prices and impaired quality of liquor.
