Further application in this country
of the European plan Of making air
ports general recreation centers was
recommended by w. Irving Glover, Sec

I'm this way he may become air
minded. Every little bit helps. 1t has

LETTERS FIGURE
IN SHEPARD PLEA
Defense Counsel Argues Trial
Court Erred in Admitting
Z" oVe MiSsiveS."
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
DENVER, September Letters re-
putedly written by Mai. Charles A.
Shepard to Grace Brandon, blond
stenographer, occupied q prominent
place today in appeal argument for q
new trial for the Army medical ofiicer,
under life sentence for the fatal pois-
oning Of his wife, Zenana.
Mrs. Shepard died at Fort Riley,
Kans., in June, 1929. He was convicted
December %, 1880, after lengthy trial,
in Federal District Court at Kansas
City, Kans. The 61-year-old off1cer
since has been free on bond, and active
as a tuberculosis expert at Fitzsimons
Hospital here. A decision in today's ap-
peal is not expected for several weeks.
Today, before the United States Cir
cult Court of Appeals, defense counsel
argued that the trial court erred in ad-
mitting introduction of letters alleged
to have been written by Shepard and by
Miss Brandon, Brooks Field, Tex, ste
nographer.
At the trial the Government charged
the physician killed his wife so he could
be free to marry 24-year-old Miss Bran
don. The letters read at the trial told
of the love of the Army officer for the
young woman.
In argument for q reversal or an or
der remanding the case for retrial She
pard's attorneys made other allegations
of trial error.
They charged that Shepard was de-
MED selection Of an impartial jury; that
the court erred in admitting as evidence
the dying statement of Maj. Shepard's
wife as related by Clara Brown, a nurse;
that remarks by the court on evidence
were prejudicial, and that certain gen.
eral remarks and rulings by the trial
judge in Kansas City constituted error
Evidence of Miss Brown, in which
she quoted Mrs. Shepard as saying the
major was poisoning her, received the
chief attack from the defense.

ONTARIO ATHLETE
SAVES 8 IN LAKE
Or. Mel ach|in, Rugby Cap

Near Tragedies.
PROMINENT \
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, Ontario September T.
DR.. Angus D. McLachlin, captain of the
University of Western Ontario's rugby
team, was revealed today as the rescuer
of eight swimmers from an undertow in
Lake Erie Monday.
The series of near-tragedies began
when lad was swept beyond his depth
The boys father pushed him to safety,
but himself was borne out by the strong
current.
His cries for help brought young NC
Lachlin. For $50 yards he battled
towering breakers until he reached the
200-pound mans side and brought him
to safety.
Another cry went up far out in the
breakers. A swimmer who had tried to
help in the rescue was caught Nc
Lachlin brought him in.
A bather next saw an arm thrown up.
A youth had given up the struggle. DR..
McLachlin took the plunge again. Be
fore the two reached the shore the
youth had collapsed, but revived soon.
A few minutes later a girl of 8 and
her older brother were swept away
Only their arms could be seen as the
boy struggled to keep the girl and him
self afloat. When McLachlen reached
them the girl was unconscious. The
young doctor brought her in and then
rescued the boy.
Oficials by this time had stopped
selling bathing tickets, but gray
haired man ventured out too far 10
minutes later. DR.. McLachlin, nearing
exhaustion, reached his side, but he
could not make shore, so strong had
the undertow become. A human chain
was formed from shore and all
brought in.
Finally two other swimmers were res
cued by DR.. McLachlin, who again de-
fed the undertow and held them up
until a lifeboat had been launched
McLachlin had to be rescued himself on
that trip.
The exploits of the young doctor are
being drawn to the attention OF the
Royal Humane Society.

BROWNSVILLE, Tex, September Z.
Flood waters of the Rio Grande,
which have caused a property loss oil
millions and the death of more than
a dozen persons, today spilled 10 miles
wide over the fertile acres near It's
mouth
The crest Of the flood. resulting from
tCrrential rains upstream, has reached
Western Hidalgo County, so miles up
stream from Brownsville. Much OF the
overflow was being carried away by a
huge floodway branching of from the
river in the vicinity of Mission.
Lowlands on the Mexican bank were
receiving more of the overflow than
those on the American side. Small
settlements we're partially submerged.
The Brownsville Weather Bureau es-
timated that one-third more water was
flowing down the river In this flood
than in the disastrous flood Of 1922.
However it was believed the lower val
ley would suffer much less on account
of the carefully planned flood control
system installed in recent years.

Miss America x in the Harmsworth trophy race to be held on Lake St Clair in Septem- Der.
 Of course, you may have to wait until after the race to see that speed reached. for 1t will be con- test between Woods latest craft and Kaye Don. foremost English racer. who recently set a new worlds record of 119.S1 miles an hour. Such speed is dangefouS over a course on which two boats are competing, and speed records have, in the past, been set over boat making the attempt at a time.
 Power of $500 Horses!
 But there is enough power in Woods boat to do that speed on any course. The craft was recent ly christened at Algonac, Mich. and at that time the noted racer claimed 6.400 horsepower from its four engines, almost twice the power of Miss America TX, with which he set a worlds record of i11.71 miles an hour last winter before Kaye Don broke 1t.
 Sixty-four hundred horsepower Is considerably more than that con- tained in the record breaking craft of Kaye Don. The latter's boat was rated at 1000 horsepower.
 Four Engines for Speed
 The new Miss America has four engines. super-charRed to the last degree. The craft Is much larger than Woods previous boat. It is 3s feet iong and 10 feet ( inehes wide.
