 Crashed to Ground

Norton, Mass, Nov, 26-(UP)--- While the sweetheart of one Of the victims looked on, a. stunting bi- plane fell apart in mid-air here late Sunday and plummeted 1200 feet to earth, carrying young woman artist and an amateur pilot to their deaths.
 The dead, Miss. Ruby Rand, pretty graduate of a Worcester art school and designer for an Attic boro jeweiry firm, who had eel celebrated her 22d birthday anni- versary Saturday. William P. Mel cher, 35-year-old garage mechanic years flying experience and! was considered an able pilot.

 The plane scared to 2200 feet. Melcher put it into a tailspin, then a power dive. As he strengthened It out, a wire strut support collapsed. Wing fabric streamed through the air in the planes wake. Suddenly the entire left wing snapped. off and the craft fell crazily until it vanished among trees quarter mile from Boltz airport.

UNITED STATES
 MADE PROPOSAL
 ON NAVY TREATY
Wants Agreement With Great Britain If Japan
 Gives Up the Treaty

London, Nov. 26-iUP)-Ameri- can delegates to the naval confer ence have suggested to the British the possibility of an informal agreement by which, if the Wash- ingt0n naval treaty lapsed, they would not build against each other but might be free to match Japan's level. it was understood today.
 It was said that the British showed no desire to enter into any such agreement.
 As outlined, 1t was understood the proposal was that Britain and the United States would pledge themselves informally not to, race against each other. They would inc form each other regarding their building programs. Neither would object to the other building up to any strength to which Japan took It's navy. The reported proposal, it was said, was made on the theory that if Japan denounces the Wash- ington treaty, and no other was negotited, 1t was withdrawing from what amounted to Pacific league. America, Britain, France and Italy should try to retain the essence of the Washington treaty and Japan would be at liberty to adhere to it at any time it was understood.
 Japanese Ambassador Tsuneo Matsudaria visited Norman H. Davis, chief American delegate, to- day. The spokesman for the Amer ican delegation denied reports that Matsudaira yesterday outlined W Davis in rough form the Japanese intentions as regards denouncing the Washington treaty. The subject was not discussed, he said. The American delegation took no notice of the speech made by Sen. Gerald Nye, r., N. D., urging Japanese equality, but one responsible Amer ican commented: "Nye evidently wants to hand Japan superiority in the far east on a golden platter"

SAMUEL NSULL
 HAPPEST MAN IN
 AMERICA TODAY
Jury Has Acquitted Him and Other Defendants
 in First Trial

Chicago, Nov 26. (UP)-Samuel Insull probably was one of the hap piest men in America to-day, con- vinced that in effect. he already is exonerated of state and federal charges of embezzlement and vio- lation of bankruptcy laws still pending against him.
 The white-haired little Martinet of La Salle street in better days, exulted volubly at his acquittal Saturday with his son and, 15 friends of swindling investors in his $150, 100000 corporation secu- rites company. He predicted con- fidently that other charges would be dismissed.
 Another trial-if there is an- other one-will bring the same verdict" he chortled. That verdict Saturday was the beginning of my complete vindication."
 U. S. District Attorney Dwight Green refused to comment on the possibility that a charge of violat- ing federal bankruptcy laws by transferring asserts of corporation securities company when it was in- solvent may be dismissed. He plans to attend crime conference in Washington in two weeks and probably will report to superiors then.
 Martin Insu1l. brother of Samuel, is to be tried December on em- bezzlement charges in a state court. Samuel faces the same charge. His son, Samuel, Jr, is ac- cused of embezzlement in Lake county, Indiana, of funds of the Northern Indiana Public Service company.
 Samuel said he has no plans for the future and intends to think of nothing but the matter in hand un- til the charges remaining against him are disposed of. Lo Sale street rumors have said variously that he intends to reenterithe utility field in the United States or Greece. and that he will live henceforth in Eng land, where his Kountry house still is maintained.

The chief lines of investigation pointed from Carlisle toward New York city and possibly from there to New Englard.
 Driver Identifies Woman
 Paul J. White, the bus driver, identified the photograph of the woman, who apparently was the victim of a murder-suicide pact, as passenger who rode, with three children resem bling the girls found dead Saturday, from New York into Harrisburg on Wednes- day, Nov. 21. Their tickets, he said, called for transportation to Pitts burgh.
 The second bus driver remem- bered carrying the four passengers further along on their journey 10 Pittsburgh, and said he believed they left his bus near Altoona. La bels on the childrens coats also were traced to New York City.
 Another report of the possible wanderings of the family was re- ceived from Boston, where it was said woman and three children purchased steamship passage to New York on the Eastern Steam ship Lines. This report said, how ever, that the passage was pur- chased Wednesday afternoon, which would be in conflict with Whites story.
 Another possible clue was that the children lived with their moth CT and stepfather in Jamaica, L. l., year ago. Police at New oYrk city checked that possibility.
 An official report of the toxicol- ogists who have searched for traces of poison or evidences of vi- olence, disclosed that there was no indication of carbon monoxide or any other poisoning, and that none of the children had been assaulted.
 Coats Are Traced
 The three coats worn by the children, two of green cloth and one of blue. and all edged along the collar with brown fur, were traced by their MIRA labels, which bore the letter EVA to H. and J. Block, New York garment manu- lecturers, and from other numbers an attempt was being made to trace them to customers.
 Detectives also were checking the origin of the three pairs of shoes, one an auburn square crape spud, the other pumps.
 No labels were found on the children's underwear.
 Meanwhile B. A. Cook of Camp Hill, said he saw three girls, simi- lar in appearance to theh mystery trio, on the Market street bridge, Harrisburg, on Thursday. after noon.
 "They were trying to hitch hike and the oldest yelled to me: Car lisle'."
 Cook could not make positive identification.

 A small amount of profit taking came into the market in the last hour and leaders had dipped from their highs. Then came an an nouncement from Albany that Jus tice Ellis J.

 Immediately, the entire utility grou turned active and strong. Large blocks of Consolidated Gas appeared and the issue rose toward 25, against a previous close of 2S 1-2.

Boston, Nov 2s. (UP)-No lsR6ugh, no show!
 So kings, monks. saints, prln- cesses and Scotch Highlanders whose knees knocked together in the breeze-wondered to-day what happened to the gate receipts after storming the gates of the Boston Garden in vain.
 Of course, they weren't real kings, monks. saints, princesses and Scotch Highlanders. Actually, they were national guardsmen. society girls, college glee club members and representatives of greater Bos- ton musical organizations.
 But, they were promised pay for portraying those roles in pageant of the Celt," billed as "the greatest spectacle of modern times" They said managers of the pageant had even promised them a banquet aft er the closing performance last night. Blunt, there was no banquet, because there was no closing per- formance. Much worse, there was no pay, they said.
 There had been four perform 4uCeS durlng last week put WHeH members of the cast and specta- tors appeared at the Garden for the final performance, they found the doors locked.
 Bishops, black and tans, kings and saints, suddenly reverting to their everyday role of Boston citi- zens, became indignant and police were called to prevent a riot. Col 1eee and high school students who had played the roles, complained Go police they were owed sums varying from $5.5O to $S for their parts.
 Reasons for the sudden closing of the show were not revealed by D. M. Henderson of Chicago, spon- Eor of the pageant, who couldn't be located.
