DETROIT, August i.-Prosecutor
Duncan c. McCrea said tonight a
chemist questioned about a reported
Black Legion typhoid epidemic plot
has declared a high-ranking Legion
officer inquired also how to make
hand-grenades and kill people with
poison gas and hypodermic needles.
The chemist, a bacteriologist ana
registered pharmacist whose name was
withheld, was questioned in the pros
ecutor's Office after a startling story
told by William Guthrie, Black lie.
gion printer.
Germs to Have Been Used.
Guthrie, who is held on conspiracy
to riot charge, asserted that the same
high Legion officer wanted to breed
typhoid germs in his house and talked
Of injecting Jews by injecting the
germs through milk bottle caps and
also into cottage cheese. Nothing came
of either plot.
McCrea said the pharmacist adj
mitted joining the Black Legion two
years ago and said he was afraid to
report any of the secret orders activ-
tiles to police because the terrorists
boasted also of having a '1egionnaire
at most every post a man could go to-"
The high Legion officer talked, the
pharmacist said, of making bombs to
throw into meetings and automobiles,
poison gas to be introduced through
keyholes of rooms and needles to stick
some one with in the street or in a
theater and that would produce death"
The pharmacist said he told the Le-
gion officer he did not know how to
make bombs and ref,Sed to nave any
part in such plans.
Guthrie made another statement in
which he told also Of inquiries about

B[ERIOT,PI0NEER
IN AVIATION, DIES
Frenchman Who First Flew
English Channel Ex-
pires at 64.
BY the Associated Press.

ny lUe ASSOCldstu TIcoo'
PARIS, August Sunday Louis
Bleriot, "a, the famous French aviator
who first flew the English Channel,
died today
The outstanding aviator Of his day,
Bleriot crossed the channel from Ca
laiS, France, to Dover, England, in an
airplane on July IS, 1909.
He outdistanced a destroyer which
had been assigned to direct his course.
completing the hop of 235 miles in
38 minutes.
Bleriot, who became an engineer
after his air career, suceumbed sud-
denly to heart attack during the
night. He had been confined recently
because Of heart weakness.
Louis Bleriot was the Lindbergh of
his day.
His pioneer fight across the Eng
lish Channel was as daring a feat in
1909 as was Col. Lindbergh's trans
Atlantic trip through the air in 1927.
Notwithstanding the 18 years that
intervened between their epochal
flights, it is not unlikely that the
names of Bleriot and Lindbergh will
be closely linked in aeronautical his
tory.
BY being the first to accomplish the
seemingly impossible feat of their
respective times, each was responsible
for direct move in the progress of
aviation. Iindberghs interest toward
flying is said to have been partly in
spired by the stories of Bleriot's early
fame. When the Spirit of ST. Louis
made its historic landing at lie
Bourget, the French's flyers name
was one Of the first to be uttered by
the young American.
Feat Now Commonplace.
How aviation advanced between
those two flights is indicated by the
fact that when Lindbergh spanned
the Atlantic, Bleriot's feat had be-
come commonplace, everyday event.
Born at Cambria. July /. 1872,
Bleriot was the son of a manufacturer
and thus came in contact with things
mechanical since his boyhood He
went to a technical school and took
degree in engineering. After his
military service, spent for the most
part as a second lieutenant of artil-
lery at Tarbes, he became interested
in automobiles.
After several years of experimental
ton he invented the automobile
searchlight in 1895. Four years later
the sight Of the famous flying ma
chine built by Alder and exhibited in
Paris turned his attention toward the
then infant science of aviation.
Founded First Factory.
Year in and year out, Bleriot studied
the problem of making a practicable
airplane He conducted dozens of ex-
| periments at IsSy-les Moulineaux and
| lost most of the fortune he had made
with his automobile searchlight In
| 1906, aided by two friends, he founded
the first airplane factory in France.
Finally, on September IT. 1907, his
widest dreams came true. He flew
1876 meters In a monoplane built by
his own hands.
After that progress was rapid. Other
young aviators and airplane construc-
tors entered the field, but Bleriot, by
a daring fight June 90, 1908, managed
to win the Beginners Prize" Of 400
| francs (then about S4()

LOS ANGELES, August 1.-Dr.
Franklyn Thorpe swore out an afi-
davit today that his film actress ex-
wife, auburn haired Mary Astor, had
perpetrated fraud upon the Superior
Court in her sensation-studded fight
for sole custody Of their 4-year-old
daughter Marylyn.
He charged the actress deliberately
and fraudulently concealed from the
court the fact that he obtained letters
Of guardianship Of the child IS
months ago from the courts probate
department.
Therefore, he contended, the sem
sational current hearing, to be re-
sumed Monday, on Miss Astor's Gus.
tody petition Is "Of no force, avail
or effect"
Notice Is Served.
Notice of the affidavit has been
served on the actress. 1t will be
filed Monday, said A. P. Michael Mar.
liam, one Of DR.. Fhorpe's lawyers.
Another William Anderson, said II
Miss AStor had informed Superior
Judge Dudley S. Valentine Of DR..
Thorpe's guardianship letters, the
judge would have been ''powerless" to
grant, as he did last July 13, tenn
porary custody of the child to Miss
Astor pending hearing on her petition.
The affidavit was disclosed as the
couple and the child were in a family
reunion" at Miss Astor's home,
where Judge Goodwin J. Knight
vainly attempted to end the con-
troversy. He is presiding at the Gus
tody hearing.
Judge Knight went to Miss Astor's
residence on the shores Of picturesque
Toluca Lake, where many Hollywood
film players live, to see young Mary
lyn's home surroundings and to talk
with her. He conferred briefly with
both sides about truce, but reported
it seemed hopeless, saying 1t was like
an irresistible force meeting an i'm
movable object"
Exchange Polite Remarks.
Receding somewhat from their
court room demeanor, DR.. Thorpe and
Miss Astor met and exchanged polite
remarks. Out Of earshot, Marylyn
with them, they talked earnestly for
moment, then smiled.
When DR.. Thorpe arrived, the child
seized his coat sleeve, and tried to
pilot him to where Miss Astor stood.
In his answer to Miss Astor's custody
suit he accused her Of gross immoral
conduct" DR.. Thorpe smilingly shook
his head and Miss Astor drew back
i'll at ease, but the constraint soon was
relieved
Judge knight asked Marylyn two
questions: DO you love your moms?"
and DO you love your pops?"
To each the chubby youngster
nodded and replied "uh-huh"
Joseph Anderson, chief counsel for
DR.. Thorpe. said he expects to sum-
mon to the custody hearing next week
at least six Hollywood film actors and
question them about their friendship
with Miss Astor. principally before
Dr. Thorpe divorced her without con-
test in April, 1885. and won sole Gus
tody Of their daughter
Anderson did not name the pros
pective witnesses.
He declared yesterday he planned
to go very, very thoroughly into the
unftness Of Miss Astor" to have Gus

LAT owners, when they first put

invariably are impressed by one fea-
ture of the service provided.
The feature in question is that pro-
prietors and personnel around such
establishments demonstrate very
quickly that they are anxious to learn
the pets name. What is more. once
they learn 1t they never forget the
name Of an animal that has been In
their custody.
Two seasons ago. for example. a
Silver Spring family put its two cats
out to board during the vacation
period. They took them back again
for the first time the other day and, to
their establishment, the names OF both
were remembered.
