BROWN EXPERIENCES
DEAD STICK LANDING
Plane With Postmaster General
Brought Down Safely When
Both Motors Cut Out.

Postmaster General Walter F. Brown
was treated to the thrill of q dead
stick" landing at Washington Hoover
Airport yesterday afternoon when the
motors of big transport plane In which
he was flying from New York cut out
as the ship was approaching the field.
Skiliful plotting by A. G. Kondat pre-
vented what might have been o serious
accident when the plane began settling
over high-tension line near the east
end Of the field.
One Of the motors overheated as the
plane was approaching Washington, and
when Komdat throttled down for his
landing the motor continued firing and
the speed remained so high Komdat
was afraid to attempt q landing He
circled over the field and found that
the motor would not stop running even
when he cut the ignition switch. He
decided to kill the engine" by shut
ting OF the gas and closed on the sup
ply just before approaching the landing
AS he came In over the wires the
plane struck down current and the
balky motor quit at the same time. He
avoided dropping into the tension line
by opening the throttle of the one good
motor and succeeded in pulling the
plane over the line only. to have the
second motor fail. He dropped the nose
with both motors dead and made q per-
feet landing near the middle Of the
field

WOMAN IS SOUGHT
IN DOUTH|TT CASE
Police Attach Little Impor-
lance to Charges Against
Gamblers Here.

Attaching little credence to the story
Of Harry N. Douthitt, assaulted editor
Of the Blueroat, unofhcial police maga-
zine--that he was the victim Of en-
ragged gamblers = headquarters detec-
tives today began working on the theory
that possibly q woman might be able
to reveal the motive for the attack.
A careful check is being made on the
woman acquaintancss of Douthitt, it
was said, in the hope that one Of them
can give them information Of value.
At the same time United States At
torney Leo A. Rover announced he
would subpoena D1uthstt before the
grand jury as soon as he RECEIVERS from
bis injuries to tell what he knows about
the gambling situation.
Although the police and the United
States attorneys cfice have been un-
able to make any progress in checking
up on Douth.tt's charges, because Of his
alleged conflicting statements Mr.. Rover
said he would be able to get at the bot
tom Of the charges by taking D3uthitt
before the grand jury, where his state
ments would be made under oath. The
United States attorney also would sum-
throw some light en- conditions.
Mr.. Rover's announcement followed
statements by his assistant, william
H. Collins, and Inspector William s.
Shelby, chief Of detectives, that
Douthitt, In his conflicting stories of
the motive for the attack on him, gave
them no evidence to warrant grand
jury investigation. Inspector Shelby
and Mr. Collins interviewed the injured
editor at different times late yesterday
and both said he did. not tell them
the same story.
Detectives assigned to the case say
the investigation has been retarded by
the conflicting stories Douthitt has told.
and the almost impenetrable mass Of
rumors and gossip which followed the
assault.
Shelby Hopes for Arrest.
Inspector Shelby, however, said he is
confident that the two men who went
into Douthitt's apartment in the Port

STATUS OF FINANCES
CAUSES WIDE RUMORS
Report Awaited on Former Clerk
Of Court Declared Accidentally
Killed by Gas.
By . Stan Correspondent of The Star.

BY Stan Correspondent Of The Star.
ROCKVILLE, Md, April 2s.-An ex-
haustive investigation into the accounts
and books OF the late Preston B. Ray,
clerk Of the Circuit Court, who died of
gas in the kitchen of his home here
April IS. has been completed by State
auditors and their report is being
awaited by Controller Of Currency Will
liam s. Gordy. Pending definite knowl-
edge Of the financial status Of the late
clerks Office, which the auditors report
alone win show, State ofiicials have re-
fused to comment on the case.
Matters Of Conjecture.
Why an audit was made following Mr..
Rays death or precisely what it Is ex-
pected to disclose consequently remain
matters Of conjecture.
The death Of the 54-year-old clerk Of
the court was recorded oficially Is ac-
cidental.
Mr.. Ray was found by his son, Pres
ton B. Ray, IT,, IL years old, seated be-
fore the kitchen stove about $3.50 O'Clock
In the afternoon. The explanation given
by police was that he went to his home
to rest. as was his custom, and started
to prepare q pot Of coffee. It was sup
posed that he had suffered a heart at
lack or fainting spell after turning on
the gas and before he could apply q
match.
Since that time rumors concerning
TIE manner Of his death and the state
CT the books in the clerks ofics have
hecorne rife throughout Rockville and
nearby sections of the county. These
rrmols ir>creased.. when auditors from
the Office Of the State controller Of cur
rcncy began their investigation.
Occupied ONCE Since 1914.
Mr.. Ray was generally recognised a.
tbs most popular man in Montgomery
County. He had occupied the once Of
clerk since 1914 and each election
gainsd him o greater majority. Last
Nov nber he received the largest vote
ever cast in the county.
His career Of public service began In
1908, when he represented MontgoSa-
cry County In the Maryland House
Of Delegates and was the ranking
member Of the Judiciary Committee
He was delegate to several Demo-
cratic State conventions and for q
number of years was member Of the
Democratic State Central Committee
for the county.
His funeral was the largest held In
Montgomery in recent years. Gov. Al
bert c. Ritchie of Maryland headed o
distinguished list of honorary pail
bearers. His friends were not limited
to those of his own political faith and
many who had fought against him in
the primary and general elections at
tended his funeral services with gen.
uine grief.

SCHOOL CONCRETE
FLOOR COLLAPSES
Hasty Building Held as
Cause of Stuart High Acct
dent During Construction.

n Hastv building construction was
blamed by District Inspector E. F. Hor-
ton for the collapse today of . large
section of concrete while being poured
In forms on the second floor OF the new
10-roonc addition to the Stuart Junior
High School, z street between Fourth
and Fifth streets northeast
Nc one was injured, although work
men we're below when several tons Of
soft concrete fell to the ground. It was
the second construction accident within
a week, at Q District school.
While the damage was slight, cover
ing about 5000 lost in material and
labor. Inspector Horton, who fastened
to the scene when the building inspec-
tors ONCE was notified, said the con-
s.ructior company was trying to put
the building up too quickly"
The construction work was being done
by the w. p. Rose Co., an out-of-town
contractor.
Photographers Barred.
Several wooden shores, or props for
the concrete forms, gave waY, It was
said, causing the collapse of the forms
in position In the southeast corner of
the. building. Concrete pouring into the
forms at the time spilled on the floor
below. ~
Claus Schwartz. principal Of the
ton concerning the collapse, explain
ing that the school as yet had no juris-
diction In the matter. He then pro-
ceeded to order photographers not TO
take any pictures Of the scene.
Second In Week. &"
Today's collapse was the second SINH
lar mishap within week. Two bays"
Of the steel frame of the new Roosevelt
High School auditorium buckled and
fell last Wednesday during moderately
high wind. At that time. subsequent
investigation revealed, the loosely bolted
steel. which had not yet been perma-
nently riveted. fell because Of lack of
adequate guying wires. The blow
down" resulted In a biting denunciation
Of insecure building methods during the
course Of construction by Maj. H. L.
Robb. U. 8. A., Assistant Engineer Com
missioner of the District
The f0-odd tons Of steel which fell
at the Roosevelt High School building
operation collapsed about 2 O'Clock In
dren Of the Mcfarland Junior High
School, located nearby, had been play
ing on the recreation field. The tangled
mass Of steel fell partly on this play
ground. -. r
The concrete and scaffolding at Stu
art Junior High School today fen with
a crash that was heard nearly around
the block. It occurred during the noon
hour recess, with children playing In
the fenced playground adjoining the
construction. Since there was no cas-
ualty, curiosity quickly died.
Inspector Horton said that the col-
lapse would cause about half q days
loss In time, the only loss being the ma
terial which win have to be cleaned up.
He minfmized the seriousness of the
mishap, explaining accidents frequently
happened during construction, but did
emphasize that wOrkmen were trying to
speed up construction.
