JURY DECLARES TWO
DEATHS ACCIDENTAL
Foreman on P Street Bridge Work
and D. c. Resident Die in
Mishaps.

Verdicts Of accidental death were
returned in two cases by a coroner's
jury yesterday at the District Morgue.
One Of the deaths was that of Tony
Shilback, IS, Of Baltimore, q foreman
at work on the construction Of the p
Street Bridge at Twenty second street,
who was fatally injured Monday when
pinned to the ground as the scoop Of
a steam shovel under which he was
working slipped downward. z. A.
Grim, the shovel operator, testified he
thought the slipping was caused by
the brakes being wet, due to rain.
Grim said Shilback was pinned as the
latter stopped over apparently prepar-
ing to adjust chain. Shilback died
in Emergency Hospital from broken
back, crushed chest and other injuries.
In the other case the coroner's jury
held that Ester Butler, "a, had come
to his death in Gallinger Hospital
April 9 from injuries received in an
accidental fall down the steps when
ne lived In the 200 block Of C street.
The fall. which occurred on April 5,
was blamed on drink.
The verdict in Buffers case exoner-
ated Eugene Cuppett, rs, of the C
street address, whom 1t Is charged,
pushed Butler before the latter fell.

HONOR PATRIOTS
IN BOSTON TOWN
Historic Battles of Lexing
ton and Concord Marked
in Celebration
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BOSTON, April 1o.-The rattle OF
nusketry that shattered the silence
Of warm Spring morning In Massa-
chusetts 159 years ago and reused a
Nation to revolution re-echoed today
in celebrations of the historic battles
Of Lexington and Concord.
In old cemeteries along the trail
leading from Boston to Concord, above
greening mounds and weathering slate
headstones, flags fiCttered. Here, Sleep
ing through the long years, lie the
mortal remains of the men who laid
down their lives in defense of human
rights and democracy on that far
away Spring morning.
Called from their beds at dead Of
night by clattering hoofs and cries OF
speeding riders warning Of the British
expedition to destroy the colonists'
meager military stores, they left home
and family to die, few hours later
before the volleying muskets Of the
troops Of their King.
Beside the graves of these heroes
are those of companions who lived TO
fight under Washington through the
revolution that followed Lexington
and Concord.
To all these, Massachusetts, today
paid tribute.
In daylight re-enaetment Of the
famous rides of Paul Revere and
William Dawes, jr, twentieth century
riders today clattered out of Boston
into the rolling Middlesex countryside.
Along the routes, and along the line
Of the British advance-and retreat
were parades and celebrations. Many
communities not on the actual line of
march shared In these observances.

A Tiny Scrap of Weed.

When Sir Charles Kingsford-
Smiths plane came to rest on the
field at Oakland, Calf, Sunday morn
ing, after his flight across the Pacific,
one of the crowd that Immediately
surrounded it found on the tail skid
a bit of weed, which had evidently
been caught up as the ship took off
from Wheeler Field in Honolulu. This
was a prize. The commercial spirit
became dominant at once, and these
thrifty merchants promptly went about
among the spectators and sold the
scrap at twenty-five cents a sprig.
They had no trouble in disposing of
the treasure, bit by bit, so eager were
the groundlings for something to cher
ish as a souvenir of remarkable
achievement. This is an ever-present
emotion on the occasion of an out
standing accomplishment. Possession
of a single leaf from this bit of weed
raises the self-esteem of its holder.

Scott.

An endless stream of traffic moves
north and south in Sixteenth street,
and east and west in Massachusetts,
avenue, and probably no less than a
hundred thousand people pass the
monument of Lieut.. Gen. Winfield Scott
each day. But the effigy of the great
soldier enlists only casual attention
from the transient throng. 1t may be
doubted if one individual in a dozen
knows anything whatever of his
career. He is taken for granted as
patriot who served his country nota-
bly, enough to deserve bronze me-
mortal, but the character of his serv-
ice and the personal qualities of the
man himself unfortunately are mat
tiers about which the present genera
ton is only sketchily informed.
Yet Scott merits study, and those
Evening star., 1934-11-05

He did nothing whatever for its own
ership, save the payment OF a quar-
ter. There was no particular merit
in that action. What will he do with
the tiny souvenir? Probably mount
it on a card, with an inscription, and
stow it away in a box, or set it up on
a mantelpiece, where it will remain
for a time until careless maid or
the housewife, impatient Of such a
cluttering sentiment, sweeps it into
the trash basket.
But, after all, that bit of weed is a
significant token of thrilling achieve
ment, a further advance in aviation
which may in a few years become a
commonplace. The conquest of the
Pacific by air has been demonstrated.
One man has now flown across it
both ways. He has proved the feas-
ibility of a regular communication
with the antipodes, in terms of hours
rather than of weeks or months. Es-
tablishment Of flying schedules be-
tween the American coast and the
lands down under" as the British
speak Of their possessions far south
Of Asia, is a by no means unlikely
development in the near future. The
immense tracts of sea surface that
were sailed by the galleons of the
Spanish and Portuguese adventures
without charts, their voyages cover
ing many months each, have now
been crossed in far less time than it
once took to make the first island
landfall from Acapulco.
A tiny scrap of weed taken from a
plane in Oakland, Calf, fifteen hours
after it was wrested from its parent
plant in Honolulu, more than twenty
four hundred miles away! Really it
was worth a quarter, after all.
