STEWARDESS,
PILOT HEROES
IN CRASH

CHICAGO, June / uNSO.-A
freak gust of wind was blamed
today for the forced landing OF a
eiant Transcontinental and West
ern Air transport plane in which
IL passengers and three members
of the crew were injured, as air
line officials and Government au-
thorities launched official investi-
cations.
Airline officials, after comforting
with Pilot Wesley L. Smith at
the hospital where he was taken,
announced their preliminary in
vestigation indicates the ship,
lowering over the airport here
awaiting landing orders, was sud-
denly sloughed out Of control by
the freak gale and that Smith, to
avoid q possible crackup against
high tension wires which might
result if he tried to gain altitude,
decided to make a forced landing
in q narrow lot about $50 yards
from the field.
One wing of the airliner hit a
tree, swinging the ship around
against a house. Swimming off
the roof of the house, Smith set
the plane down in the narrow lot
with little damage to the ship
and only minor injuries to the
passengers who were unanimous
in praising his skill in aVerting a
major tragedy.
The ship, a twin-motored Doug.
lass, had reached the end of a
nonstop flight from New York
when the mishap occurred, about
10 O'Clock last night.
The passengers were: Maurice
Haas, Milwaukee; Daniel Maho-
ney, 80, an official Of the Lily
Cup Company, New York; Charles
E. Stahl, Of Montclair, N. j.; an
executive of the Arcturus Radio
Tube Company; Mrs. A. v. Van
UT, 80, New York; Miss Marie
Ziolkowski, 80, Chicago; Maurice
B. AIDES, Minneapolis; William s.
Clark, jr., Roselle, N. j.; H. w.
Jorden, Scarsdale, N. Y; Miss V.
w. Markell, Los Angeles; R. w.
Marshall, so, New York, and Will
liam A. Shakman, SIS, New York.
The passengers could not pay
high enough tribute to the hero
ism of the stewardess, dainty,
blonde Grace Davidson. t
Although suffering a deep
scalp wound she stayed at her post
until the last passenger had been
taken from the plane and cared
for.

in the insufficiency of the jur-

the cases mean?" asks the
Supreme Court of California,
'Ewhen they speak of a want

they mean a positive and di-
rect statement to the effect
that something which must
have been done, in order to
give the court jurisdiction,

mean that a want of jurisdic-
ton appears whenever what
was done is stated, and which,
having been done, was not
sufficient in law to give the
court jurisdiction? If the for
mer, they are a deIusiOn. For
we venture to say that no case
can be found, or will arise
hereafter, where the cOndi-
tons contemplated: by such a
rule will be found to exist. No
court has ever yet SO far stul-
titled itself as to render a
Judgment against a defendant,

ARGUMENT AND THE
AUTHORITIES

The question whether the state
court in probate had jurisdiction
to admit the will to probate |
against plaintiff is quite vexing |
at first thought. The more pa
tiently one reads the many cases
around the point, the more firm |
the faith grows that the opinion |
hereinafter cited, on the point, |
(where the mother accepted SER
vice of summons for her infant /
child) is correct, to the effect that
the service is void. That such
service appearing affirmatively in
the record; the record being
that to which verify is assign
ed by the courts; that nothing
to contradict such a fact in
the record appearing; and the
entire record being apparently in
evidence; the recital in the order
land proof of due service thereof
is recited in the order appointing
the guardian ad Item" Is not
enough to impeach the fact in the
record showing how the service
was actually made % years be-
fore, and that such service was
void
Humility rather than confidence
is the result of serious STUDY of
a lifetime on this question and of
the presentation of similar cases
to our Supreme Court, since ''The
Gay Nineties." We hope, even be-
lieve. that the following theorems
will bear comparison favorable to
their correctness with the most
persuasive of the host of decisions
near the question.
(a) The power of the Federal
Court in this case to annul the
order of the State Court sitting
in probate with jurisdiction
limited by statute) might have
been higher but was surely equal
to that of a Montana court
of general jurisdiction district
court in Montana, superior court
in Washington, or California; if
this suit had been begun and tried
in such a court. That no greater
faith or credit is to be accorded
it in the Federal Court than il
would have had in the Montana
Courts on similar attack.
OBJ The presumptions of regu-
larity, attending a judgment in
probate proceedings are not stron,
ger than those incident to judg.
ments in actions at law or DEGREES
in equity in our district courts
Our district courts sitting in pro
bate, are held by our Supreme
Court invariably to a jurisdiction
limited to the powers conferred b,
statute, or to powers necessarily
implied from those conferred.
(c) If the record speaks a fact
and such fact from the apparent,
complete record. conveys the onl,
inference that the service of pro
cess was insufficient to confe
jurisdiction, then the silence tina
service was obtained in some lega
manner is not bridged by the re
cital in general language "upo,

STATEMENT OF THE CASE
Evening star., 1936-07-04

Ambassador. In June, 1885. Miss
Liberty was landed at New York.
Later that year the corner stone of
the pedestal was laid.
The principal address on the occa-
sion of the dedication OF the statue,
October %. 1886, was delivered by
President Grover Cleveland. More
than a million persons are said by
contemporary accounts to have
watched the exercises. Few, of course.
could be accommodated on the island
itself. The nearby New York shore,
however, was a solid mas Of humanity
for miles.
Bartholdi, a great sculptor with
many fine works to his credit found
in the statue an inspiration worthy
of his magnificent talent. Super
heroic in size-larger even than the
ancient Colossus of Rhodes-the
statue Is equally impressive in its
perfectly expressed symbolism. With
q burning torch in her right hand,
and in her left holding close q book
of law inscribed July 4. l776. Liberty
is represented as breaking the shackle
lying at her feet and stepping for
ward to enlighten the world.
A bronze tablet sent with the statue
from France bears the following in
scription:
"A gift from the people Of the
Republic Of France to the people Of
the United States. This statue of
liberty enlightening the world COM
memorates the alliance of the two
nations in achieving the independence
of the United States of America and
attests their abiding friendship.
Auguste Bartholdi sculptor. Inaugu-
rated October 28, 1896"
THE physical dimensions Of the
statue are amazing. The figure
itself is l52 feet high and the tip
Of the torch is 500 feet above sea
level. The width of the face Is 10
feet and Of the eyes ~ feet, while
the arm is> 10 feet long and IL feet
in diameter at the widest point. The
tablet in the left hand Is more than
23 feet long and two feet thick.
Forty persons can stand In the head
of the figure and IL in the torch
The jeweled lights Of the crown are
found to be windows in an obser-
vation platform.
The figure itself weighs about 450,-
600 pounds. It is made of hammered
copper three thirty-seconds Of an inch
thick, supported on steel frame
anchored in the pedestal.
Today Bartholdi's original desire
Is carried out in the hoodlighting Of
the statue by night.
Every now and then one hears ru-
mors that the Statue of Liberty Is
disintesrating. This. one is informed
by Supt. George A. Palmer, is untrue
The statue Is under Federal juris-
diction and was declared q national
monument in 1924. 1t is administered
by the National Park Service. Re-
Gently a considerable amount of
sprucins-up work was done on the
