TWELVE KILLED AS TRANSPORT PLANE CRASHES Engine Trouble Apparent Cause Os Tragedy This Morning Cheyenne. Wyo., Oct. 7.—(U.R) — Apparently suddenly disabled by ngine trouble, a United Airlines transport plane crashed to earth a the hilly Crow Creek country west of here early today, carrying its crew of three and nine passengers to instant death. Almost within view of the Cheyenne airport base of the company, where it was to land, the plane was reported by its pilot, H. A. Collison, to be cruising easily through the calm, clear night at 2:17 a. m„ in a radio message received here. The big, twin-engin-ed Hoeing plane was coming in from Salt Lake City and the west. Simultaneously another plane, from the east, was approaching the Cheyenne airport for a landing. “Please delay landing until further orders, while westbound plane comes in,” the airport operator radioed Collison, after the pilot had advised he was wit“n sight of the Cheyenne water plant at Silver Crown, twelve miles northwest of here. He tried to obtain a confirmation, but only silence greeted his radio signals. The ill-fated plane aas not heard from again. Searchers who found the wreckage could see where the huge liner j had bounced three of four times as it struck, strewing wreckage over a distance of some 400 yards. Both, uuitors apparently _ were torn loose the first time the plane hit. They lay almost a quarter of a mile from the wreckage of the fuselage. The body of the plane was broken in two in the center, with the nose facing directly toward tne tail. The bodies were scattered over many yards, some of them still in (CONTINUED ON PAGE FIVE) LOUISE BOHNKE DIES SATURDAY Mrs. Herman Bohnke Dies Suddenly Saturday Evening Mrs. Louise K.

ROOSEVELT IN ORDER AGAINST SHIPPING ARMS President Takes Series Os Moves To Insure Neutrality Washington, Oct. 7. — <U.R) —Administration officials today believed President Roosevelt had put this governments house in order on the neutrality question, and awaited the next move from Europe in the Italo-Ethiopian war crisis. It was assumed generally this next step would be the imposition of financial and economic sanctions against Italy for violation of the League of Nations covenant. But whatever It is, officials here felt, the United States is in the clear. In a series of neutrality moves as swift as those of the Italian armies invading Ethiopia, President Roosevelt formally announced that this government considers that a state of war exists between Italy and Ethiopia: proclaimed an embargo on the shipment from this country of all arms, ammunition and implements of war to either belligerent: admonished all American nationals to avoid trav- ’ elling on the ships of either belligerent; and informed Americans that any and all trade they might 1 seek to carry on with either Italy or Ethiopia must be conducted at their own risk and without this government’s protection.
