NAVAL OFFICER’S PUNE FALLS IN DELAWARE RIVE

Commander of San FranciscoHawaiian Dash Hurt Fatally In Drop of Few Feet.

Philadelphia, Pa., Aug. 28.— Commander John Rodgers, hero of the San Francisco-Hawaiian flight is dead. The brave and resourceful navy flier, who warded off death on the Pacific ocean, was killed as a result of a drop in a land plane into shallow water of the Delaware river yesterday afternoon. He was so critically injured that death overtook him in the naval hospital in two hours. He died at 5 o’clock. Samuel Schultz of Philadelphia, his mechanician, with a bracken back, lay near death last night in the hospital of the Philadelphia navy yard, near which the accident occurred. Fell Short Distance. Eyewitnesses differ on the distance the commander fell, but most of them agree it was between thirty and 150 feet, as he was gliding to make a landing. A naval hoard of inquest was called immediately and it was announced that no public statement would be made until a report was presented to the secretary of the navy and Rear Admiral W. A. Moffet, chief of the bureau of aeronautics. An inquest was conducted by Lieutenent Commander E. E. Eckert of the navy medical corps, and later the board of inquest was convened. The cause of death, so far as *navy 'surgeons jcould determine last night, was hemorrhages due to broken ribs puncturing vital organs. Many of the ribs on one side wdre crushed in. One of his legs was broken in two places and cut open. The famous commander suffered great pain and was unconscious at intervals, but he was able in the true navy fashion to give fragments of information to naval officers as his life ebbed away. Commander Rodgers was just ending a flight from the Anacostia field, Washington, to inspect at the aircraft factory in the navy yard, some new planes of the type used on the historic cross-pacific flight. “YELLOWS” HURT ALFALFA IN STATE

The “yellowing” of the second crop of alfalfa is quite generally reported over Indiana. In many cases the yield of this second crop will he cut in half, which is a heavy loss of hay when it is considered Indiana now has about 207,000 acres of the crop. Several factors are involved in the “yellowing of the second crop, according to observations of M. O. Pence of the Soils and Crops department of Purdue university Agricultural Extension department who inspected several fields in Northern Indiana last week. In the first place the newer stands of alfalfa, less firmly established and less vigorous, are in worse shape than older fields on the same farms with other conditions similar. In the second place the fields cut earliest for the first cutting show the most yellowing of leaves for the second cutting. This bears out the well know fact that alfalfa cut too early loses in vigor and yield as it gets older. The first cutting should not be made before one-tenth of the blossoms are out and the later cutting not until the crop is onefourth to one-half in bloom. There is no injury to the hay crop following by allowing alfalfa to go to the full bloom stage, except a lowering of the the quality of hay. Alfalfa should not be cut so late in the fall but that a growth of 8 to 10 inches can be left over winter. This is very necessary if vigor of the succeeding crops is to be

maintained.

Alfalfa leaf spot, a fungus disease, and leaf hoppers are both present in considerable quantity. Whether the leaf hoppers are responsible for the spread of the fungus trouble is not definitely known, neither is it known how much of the damage to the crop each is responsible for. Farmers are generally of the opinion that the hoppers are responsible for some if not a great deal of the damage resulting in yellowing and spotting of the leaves. Farmers whose fields are badly yellowed and the’ leaves dropping may resort to only one remedy at this time and that is cutting the crop at once. The plants are standing still and the valuable feed parts, the leaves, are dropping off, so that no benefit in further growth may be obtained until the new growth appears. In most cases it is believed that the new growth will come on without showing the

yellowing.

It is well known that failure of inoculation or lack of lime may also cause yellowing but these do not seem to be influencing factors in the fields visited. However, neith er of these factors should be overlooked in seeding a new crop or serious losses of stand and yield

will result.

Richmond, Ind., Aug. 28.—The placing of a bronze marker on the old Levi Coffin homestead at Fountain City, nine miles north of here, once the headquarters for the underground railway system and seat of the “grand central” station through which fugitive slaves were smuggled northward to Canada, will commemorate one of the interesting chapters of the ante-bel-lum history of eastern Indiana. The Wayne County Society of Indianapolis has bought the marker, which will be dedicated Sunday with exercises in which the work of the underground railway will be shown in pageant by residents of the quaint old town. The old two-story brick homestead today is much as it was in the days when it was an asylum for slaves who escaped from southern plantations and were fortunate enough to fall in the hands of “conductors” of the line. The front part of the house has two stories. The hiding plaee in the Coffin home, through which about 3,000 slaves passed on their way northward to freedom, was in the garret, off the upstairs room. An east wing slopes from the north side where it is two stories in height, to the south side where it is only one story high. In this wing v was the basement kitchen, with a large fireplace in the east end and a milkroom off to the south. Above this is the dining room where the slaves were fed. A stairway at the enff of the room leads to a room above. A partition was built in this room at the place where the roof was about four feet from the floor. A small door was cut in this partition, but the bed farthest to the west stood with its head against the small door, hiding it from view. When it was necessary to hide slaves, they were secreted there. No Underground Tunnels. Levi Coffin, whose enterprise and courage in smuggling slaves exalted him to be the leader of the movement, came to Fountain City in 1826, and started a general store. As early as 1828 he began to take fleeing slaves into his own home, and it was not long before Newport, as Fountain City was called in those days, was widely known as one of the chief stations of the underground railway and Coffin as its president. His neighbors soon followed in his steps, and presently a large band of men and women were busy taking care of the slaves and helping them to

Canada.

Descendants of the “conductors” of the system say the name underground railway has often been misunderstood. There were no underground tunnels or passages, but the system consisted of seldom used roads and of lanes whose owners were known to be friendly

to slaves.

Three routes from the Ohio river converged at Fountain City. One entered Indiana at Jeffersonville; another at Madison, and the third crossed the Ohio at Cincinanti. Many runaway slaves were captured in southern Indiana, but descendants of the “conductors” say it is a matter of record that no slave who ever entered that little town was captured there or returned south. From Fountain City three routes went north. One was through Greenville and Celina, O., to Sandusky where the slaves were put aboard boats and carried across the lake to Ontario. The second ran north through Winchester, Portland, Decatur and Fort Wayne, and thence across the Michigan line to Nile’s prairie. The third was more circuitous, and was often used to throw slave pursuers off the trail. This ran from Fountain City to Economy; thence

to Marion or Anderson.

The name “Underground” is said to have originated with a party of Kentuckians who were hunting runaway slaves in Wayne county. Unable to find their slaves after

Coffin’s ablest advisers, was a wagonmaker. He constructed a coach which carried more than 3,000 slaves over the route. John Lacey, Levi Bond and Benjamin Thomas were among the noted drivers of the coach on the system. It was operated over all three of the routes that came up from the south. Also an old shay often was used. Eliza Harris Sheltered. Besides Coffin and his wife, generally known as Aunt Katy, others assisted in the work. William Huff often hid slaves in his cellar; Charles Brumley, a free colored man at Richmond, received slaves from Cincinnati, and kept them in his house until he could send them to Coffin; Elijah Van Zandt, who lived six miles south, often hid slaves in his barn ; Robert Bailey, a potter, many times hauled a load of his wares from Fountain City -to Cincinnati and returned with a load of slaves. Billy Bush, colored, pwner of a pump shop at Fountain City; Dr. Henry Way, Harvey Davis, Robert Green, Samuel Clark, Harmon Clark and W. R. Williams were others engaged in transport-

ing slaves.

Eliza Harris, wlrose story is part i of “Uncle Tom’s Cabin,” was sheltered in the Coffin holestead at Fountain City for two weeks. As pictured in the story, she actually crossed the ice near Ripley, O., and William Lacey, a brother of Major M. M. Lacey, who died a few years ago at Fountain City, assisted her and her child to freedom. William Lacey was engaged in some sort of secret service work and happened to be on the bank when the colored woman made her thrilling escape. When she reached the Coffin home she was exhausted. After her recovery she and her child were sent to^Canada by way of Greenville and Sandusky. Referring to the incident and the fame that Coffin and his wife were used as types in “Uncle Tom's Cabin,” Coffin said: “From the fact that Eliza Harris was sheltered in our home for several days, it was generally believed that I and my wife were the veritable Rachel and Simeon Halliday, the Quaker couple alluded to in “Uncle Tom’s Cabin.”

BERLIN—Chinese orchestra music seems to have three fundamental tonal elements. One is diziyingly shrill; one is thunderous to the point of delitium and 6he is simply scraping, says Paul Scheffer. Its whole thematic system seems to consist of overstimulation, deafening noise and an approach to the limits between sensuousness and pain. The high points that our music now and then reaches for a moment at time as climaxes— where one could no more rest than on the point of a bayonet—are on the ordinary level of Chinese mu-

sic.

When the oboes or the violins are used as solo instruments they provide a kind of relaxation simply through contrast—but only in that way. After a dozen notes are produced you begin to feel that this music, too, is, a cyclone, albeit a simplified one. The Chinese enjoy immensely these modulations of the extremes. To us they are but half comprehensible. Only Europeans who have become thoroughly orientalized can understand what this music means to the Chinese, and these Europeans are as silent about such things as the Chinese themselves. _Q FARRINGTON IS FIREDBY BOARD Leader of Miners Takes Better Job With Coal Company.

Clemenceau Expresses Satisfaction Over Reception of His Former Message.

iSt. Vincent Sur Jard,‘ Vendee, France, Aug. SO.—M. Clemenceau, France’s war premier, likely will write another open letter on the subject of debts, following up that one addressed to President Coolidge on Aug. 8. This was announc ed semi-offieially from the old “Tiger’s” retreat in Vendee yester

day.

M. Clemenceau took occasion to say he was quite pleased with the reaction of his Coolidge letter, poked a little fun at Senator Borah and divulged the reasons why he wrote ths original letter—hitherto attributed to various . and widely divergent motives. The “father of victory” also expressed the opinion that ratification of the Mellon-Ber-enger debt agreement stood little chance in the French parliament, and finally reiterated forcibly his decision to refrain from participa-

tion in active politics.

“I may write another letter on debts: I still have something to say; I have not said it all. One must always keep the last cart- | ridge in his belt.” Thus spoke M. 1 Clemenceau to a party of friends led by Emile Bure, managing edi-

MORE WITNESSES TO SUPPORT STORY OF “PIG WOMAN”

State to Produce Additional Evidence Against Mrs. Hail, Stevens and Carpender.

Somerville, N. J., Aug. 31.—Additional eye witnesses to corroborate the story of Mrs. Jane Gibson the “pig woman," who named Mrs. Frances Stevens Hall, Willie Stev^ ens and Henry Carpender as the three persons she saw at the scene of the murder of the Rev. Edward Wheeler Hall and his choir singer, Mrs. Eleanor Mills .four years ago, will be produced by the state.

Taxi Driver Tells Story.

Louis Seigel, a taxi driver of this city, was questioned at state police headquarters this afternoon. Seigel told the investigators that about a week after the bodies were found he drove George D. Tollen, former Somerset county detective, and Fred A. David, Middlesex county detective chief, to the Gibson home and that Mrs. Gibson took her mule and re-enacted her story of what she did the night of the mur-

der.

Seigel’s statement was contrary to the general belief that Mrs. Gibson did not tell of her experience* until three or four weeks after the

Springfield, 111., Aug. 31.—Frank Farrington, long a leading figure in the ranks of union labor, and president of the Illinois district of the United Mine Workers of America, was yesterday, deposed by the district board when it was definitely ascertained their president had accepted employment as labor counsel for the Peabody Coal Company of Chicago. Stuyvesant Peabody, president, announced that the union leader will become labor counsel for the coal company. The board of the district mine workers declared the president’s office vacant after President John L. Lewis had laid before it charges that IFarrington.had signed a contract with the Peabody company for three years at. $25,000 a year salary. Farrington, in the midst of a European trip, cabled from Paris a virtual admission of the charges, board officers said, and newspaper dispatches quoted him as saying that he had planned to resign the mine workers’ executiveship in October, being compelled at 63 years old by family considerations to accept an offer of employment paying five times his present salary.

And that is the sort of a bird that sits in state twice a week presiding over sessions of the city board of works and letting important contracts to be paid for out of the public treasury.

OFFICIALS WORK ON SPAIN’S STAND

League of Nations Hus More Trouble To Contend With Now.

Geneva, Switzerland, Aug. 31.-— The task of making Spain a permanent member of the council of the League of Nations without directly and clearly designating her as such, Is proving a difficult undertaking. (Eminent statesmen and leading international jurists strug 1 - gled for hours yesterday, at the session of the commission charged with reorganization of the council, seeking to elaborate a method whereby both Spain and Poland could be declared re-eligible for election as temporary members of the council, thus virtually making them permanent members. The decision became so involved over technicalities that the matter was finally thrown into the hands of a sub-committee, which is expected to find a compromise solu-

tion.

Austin, Tex., Aug. 30.—Jim Ferguson’s career in Texas politics has ended, Attorney General Dan Moody, red-haired democratic gubernatorial nominee, declared yes-

But James E. Ferguson, former Governor, husband of Governor Miriam A. Ferguson and a dominant figure in the Lone Star state politics since 1914, said, “I don’t wish to take from Moody any of the sweets of victory, but twelve years’ experience in politics has taught me that when one Is young one is inclined to exaggerate the effects of an accomplishment. Understand, however, I am not seeking to minimize Moody’s triumph.” The result of the battle was decisive. Mr. Moody, 33 years old, who arose from an obscure county attorney to the Democratic gubernatorial nominee, In the span of six years, led Miriam A. Ferguson, Incumbent, almost two to one. Latest returns complied by the Texas election bureau from 238

I have received tons of letters of approval from all the countries of the world, some signed by illustrious names, others by unknowns; many were not signed at all. ’ There were letters from young and old, letters from women, letters from tradesmen, merchants, manufacturers, intellectuals, even priests and clergymen; letters from all classes of society, except the parliamentarians of France ,” the Tiger

bit off under his breath.

included, Fielder was not charged with intoxication. He was merely taken out to the infirmary, locked up and kept there at the county’s expense until he had completely recovered from imbibing a combination of hair tonic, Jamaica ginger

and wood alcohol.

All kinds of petty grafts seem to be common at the county Infirmary. For instance a son of the superintendent, living in Selma, has a dentist’s office In Muncie. At noon every day he drives out to the infirmary and lunches at the expense of the county. His transportation is cheap, since he fills his

gasoline tank from the county s supply at the infirmary. Another son of the superintendent, who lives in Muncie, has jus* completed the erection of a dwelling house'. Inmates of the infirmary were required to dig his cellar, do cement work and other odd jobs. County Commissioner Truitt’s farm adjoins the county farm. Inmates of the infirmary are requirto cut Truitt’s weeds and do other chores on his farm. It seems to the Post-Democrat that there shoulld be a complete shaking up of the entire outfit. o———— IMPROVES FLAVOR

It has not occured to Shroyer that he might turn his horses out and let the two aged cripples at least find shelter in the box stalls. Carson, the janitor, is said to have assulted two of the inmates, who are mentally unbalanced. Last spring, it is said, Mach McKinley, a half witted inmate, while at the dinner table piled more food on his plate than the janitor thought

proper.

Carson, it is declared, struck him a brutaJ blow in the face, smashing his spectacles and bruising him badly, after which he is said to have thrown him on the floor and kicked him. Although the spectacles were broken last spring the feeble minded victim has been compelled to go without ever since. It is said that Carson also assaulted Ed Johnson, another inmate who Is mentally unbalanced, for some fancied violation of table etiquette. Twice within the past two months “Chippie” Fiplder, an uncle of Billy Williams, has been taken out to the county Infirmary while drunk and locked up in the infirmary cell and kept there each time for a week to sober him up. l*i

At a tavern he said he believed there was an underground railway extending from Levi Coffin’s home clear to Canada, and that Coffin was president of the road. The next time Coffin came to Richmond he was twitted about the Kentuckian’s judgment. He said he would accept amy title on the road, and later in life said that this incidet was the first time of which he knew that the designation “Underground railroad” had been applied to the system of helping slaves to freedom. He held the title of president of the road for nearly thirty years, relinquishing it when the colored persons of Cincinnati, where he had moved, held a celebration in honor of the adoption of the Fifteenth amendment to the federal Constitution. Although the Coffin house is most widely known as a haven for fugitive slaves, the old Huff house, farther down the street, and the Hough home across the creek, also were fugitive asylums, with mysterious hiding places and interesting histories. The Huff house was then the public house and many of the slave trailers made it their ^headquarters, warming themselves within a few feet from fugitives hidden behind thin walls.

i The Season of Disaster ' ‘ ' ‘O', , ' t f From Diid-kiim.mer on through September, the motor season is at its height. Vacation trips, pleasure trips, escape from the heat of town all crowd the highways with automobiles, and proportionately increase the number of crossing accidents^ Law makers, law enforcers, motor clubs and the railroads have urged safety and have taken every precaution possible to secure it. Laws limiting speed and lessening chance are in effect. The highways are under the surveillance of oiiioers charged with the enforcement of such laws. Dangerous curves and hiUs have been marked. Railroad crossing warnings can bo seen a long way off. Yet fee months of snmmer and early fall continue to Constitute fee season of tragic disaster, destruction of property and fee loss of life through accidents. AH that law or public conscience on fee part of the railroads can contrive is set at naught, so long as fee individual motorist disregards the laws <rf safety and common sense. Most automobile accidents are preventable, and it is not always fee one responsible for the accident who suffers for it. Somebody takes a chance, ignores the rights of others, and the result is a coroner’s inquest, an inquest often pronounced over fee body of a helpless victim. Expensive safety devices, skillful.and careful engineers, safe roadbeds, flawless engines—these the railroads can and do provide. Sanity on the part of the motorists they can only request, and do request most earnestly. I ' Y r, Kf !-T | 'Hf l x > f .// *i ? W. J. HARAHAN, President, The Chesapeake and Ohio Railway.
