DYING PILOT IS
 FOUND BESIDE
 WRECKED PLANE
Caught in Rainstorm, He Crashed Was Found Too Late or Life Might Be Saved

Chicago, Sept 15 - (UP) - Searchers with flashlights and torches came upon the dying pilot of a big Chicago-Detroit Airways passenger plane alongside the wreckage of the plane in the mud dy wastes near Calumet Lake in southeast corner of the city early to-day.
 The pilot, Al Malvick, Chicago, was unconscious. He died few minutes later after being placed in an automobile bound for the South Chicago hospital.
 The plane, without passengers, was due in Chicago at p. m. last night. A sudden rainstorm over took the plane and Malvick must have fought to keep it under con- trol. Scores of workers and resi- dents in the vicinity of the lake saw the huge white craft, by inter- mittent lightning flashes, flying so low its missing motors ragged drone could be heard.
 Once the plane was seen to skim a few feet above the lighted roof of big gas tank. It veered and pitched into the darkness.
 Had Malvick been found earlier, it was believed his life might have been saved.
 Malvick had taken off from De- troit at p. m. He flew on sched- ule until striking the rainstorm. Seven other airplanes. all en route to Municipal airport. were forced down in the Chicago area by the same storm. Among them was the NAT tri-motored plane from New York. with nine passen- gers and two pilots. forced down near Lansing.

 "The storm struck without warn ing. Lightning flashed around us. The wind threatened to turn us over."
 Malvick. a veteraa flyer, held the speed record for transport planes between Detroit and Chica- go. He made the trip in 80 minl utes Sept 6.

OLoughlin Saves City Money In
 Unusual Case
Prospect Cali, Pastmed in Naugatuck, Allegedly Killed By Waterbury Dog - Local Warden Probes Matter, Decides Naugatuck Should Conl- pensate Owner and Collect From State

When three dog wardens get- together, it is only natural to ex- pect that they will talk about dogs. It so happened when Dog Warden James Hanley of Naugatuck went to Warden Charles Allen of Pros- pect seeking reimbursement for a calf that had been killed in the rubber borough. Warden Allen and Hanley after going into hud- dle came to Waterbury and claimed the owner of the dog re- sponsible for the demise of the calf resided here. The case became three- cornered affair, with Warden Coleman O'Loughlin defending Waterbury.
 The puzzle was this: The owner of the calf resided m Prospect, but it was pastured on land in Nauga- tuck and was supposedly killed by a dog from Waterbury. It was a case of who's who and what's what when the dog warden went into an official conference.

 JEFFERSON AND

Rude Newspapermen, Reel Men, PhotOgra phers and Others Disturbing Honeymoon

Los Angeles, Sept. 15.-(UP).- Beset by more difficulties than usually fall to newlyweds, Aimee Semple McPherson Hutton and her heavyweight consort, dimpled Da- vid Hutton, set up housekeeping to-day.
 The difficulties included two score newspapermen, a dozen pho- tographers and four news-reel cameramen, who invaded Aimee's boudoir.
 But the bridal pair were to es- cape the extravagant attention be- slowed upon 'headliners" to-day when they departed for Ventura, Cal, and Portland, Ore, to resume their revival work.
 The departure for Ventura, it was admitted, will still savor of the motion picture chase" for motorcycle policemen will clear the way.
 Bright and early yesterday, Aimee and David moved two radio microphones into the nuptial chambers, arranged chairs and davenports for reporters and cleared a space for camera tripods.
 The sumptuous McPherson home, adjoining Angelus Temple, had the appearance of a press room during a murder trial. Type writers clicked as Hutton officially denied he had tripped over break ing hearts on his way to claim hsi bride.
 Husky voices parked into tele- phone transmitters such bulletins as:
 He's wearing a green bathrobe. She's got on white negligee- spell it yourself, I'm in a hurry"
 NO, I can't ask him now. He's takin' a shower"
 Upstairs young man harangued the pajma-clad bridegroom.
 But look. MT. Hutton, you kissed for the newspapers, they got pictures of it. Just one kiss so the world can hear"
 And a resounding smack went into the microphone and out over the ether as the singer and his bride gave in. Newsreel cameras cranked rhythmically.
 Hutton, resplendant in his Nile green robe, faced the microphones, he drew himself up to his full six feet, one inch, and 235-pounds, and in his rich baritone voice. said:
 This Is Dave Hutton speaking.
 'I want to introduce to you the most precious girl in all the world my wife. want to thank you for the telegrams, the flowers and the good wishes you have sent us. And now, you will hear my dear, nreciOMs wife p
 Aimee colored to the roots of her blonde hair, and stepped forward. "Um-m, that sounds nice," she said. "The newspapermen are here again, so 1t doesn't look like we are going to have much of honey moon."
 "Our life will be one continuous honeymoon" Hutton interrupted. Radiating joy, Aimee continued I've been going on alone fol so long it was the strangest thing to wake up in the morning and find a mans coat in the room. ] didn't know wht to do or think al first. And then the realization came, and oh, I'm so happy"
