BLAMES ROMA CRASH TO FAULTY CONTROL DEVICE (Continued From Page One.) flames prevented approach. When the blaze vras finally extinguished, only a blackened mass of twisted metal remained. It was in this blazing inferno all but one of the victims perished. The exception was Lieut. William E. Riley of New York. He leaped from the. bag with a parachute just before the crash. The parachute failed to open and Riley crashed head first into the concrete roadway. His head was mashed and his neck broken. dig Soldiers, using a railroad crane which was backed near the scene, lifted the wreckage while volunteers dug out the bodies from the charred wreckage. Grewsome sights met these rescuers. Some victims had their hands burned off, though the chief force of the explosions seemed to have struck their heads. No features were recognizable. Military men on the scene are of the opinion that the airmen had been literally roasted alive in the first great explosion that followed the crash. Only two of the eight injured now held at the Army Hospital here are in danger of dying from their burns. These are Charles D. Dworack of Davton, Ohio, and Sergt. Harry A. Chapman of St. Joseph, Mo. The others, physicians said, will recover while both Dworack and Chapman have a “fighting chance. 1 ’ There is some conflict among some observers as to whether there was a fire aboard the airship before the crash. All army men deny it and they are borne out by most of the survivors. CAPTAIN REED HEARS CRY OF FIRE. Capt. Walter J. Reed, of Scarsdale, N. Y., one of the survivors, however, declared there was a cry of fire just before the crash. “I felt 111,” Reed said from his hospital cot, “and went forward to lie down. In a little while, I heard a cry of ‘fire aft’ and ran back through the runway. I saw the men milling around in the center They were panic stricken. I saw uSSnames, however. I got to one srde just as the bag struck I leaped. In don’t know how I escaped—it seemed ’ a mkacle.” Maj. John D. Reardon of Dayton, another survivor, denied that there was any fire prior to the crash. He declared he was trapped inside the aft cabin and waited until the flames burned a hole in the canvas sides before he crawled through to freedom. “One of the contributing causes for so many deaths was the lack of knives,” Reardon said. “We couldn’t find any knives to cut out way out of the bag. Some of the other boys just waited there to die.” PLACE STRESS ON PAILFRE OF MOTOR. Army officials today were placing much ' stress on the statements of several survivors that one of the big Liberty motor* “went dead” shortly after the start of the flight. This motor, situated in the front of the vessel, it was stated, contributed to the “head pull” which forced the nose of the Roma downward to snch an extent that the controls broke. This phase was being closely investigated. MAY STOP DEALS FOR FOREIGN TYPES. The twin diasters to the great dirrigibles, both of foreign design and manufacture, caused air service officers to seriously question today the advisability of further dealing with foreign types of these ships. The Roma was of Italian construction and the ZR-2 of British. Both had been purchased by this Government. k The Navy is particularly interested be■Bfce it is now negotiating for a GerZeppelin of the most advanced type Pto be built in Germany under American supervision. Work has not actually begun on the big ship because of a hitch in the financial arrangements. One result of the Norfolk disaster, air service experts asserted, would be to advance the use of helium gas, supposedly non-inflammable. The Roma, so far as Is now known, was filled with ordinary hydrogen gas, and officers said if helium had been used the disaster undoubtedly would not have reached the proportions it did. The first explosion which followed the crash of the big ship, was presumably caused by the ship's coming in contact with the high tension electric wires. The use of helium gas. they believed, would have prevented the explosion, and, if not preventing the fire, at least would have lessened its magnitude and terror. The Roma catastrophe threw an atmosphere of gloom about both War and Navy Departments. Thirty-odd victims of the crash were well known in Washington, having made frequent trips to the Capital from the Army base at Langley. Field. DISTRESS AT HEIGHT OF 2,J00 FEET. Capt. S. C. Whitehurst, Army engineer, an eye witness, said the ship appeared to be in distress at a height of 2.000 feet. He could easily see the tiny figures of the crew and passengers scurrying frantically back and forth, throwing ballast, storage batteries and other movable articles over the side in an effort to lighten the ship. t “They put up a great fight to keep Captain Whitehurst said. “The Bfijaa came down nose first, sliding along electric wires. Streaks of fire ran “ along her nose. Then came the collapse and the gas rushed up in a mighty flame.” Stories of the crash conflict, but general opinion is that the gas bag exploded as the ship struck the ground. More than half of the officers and men killed are survived by wives and children. The families of the officers live at the field and here and there along the neat rows of homes flowing black crepe stirs gently In the breeze. Window blinds are pulled low. Two minutes after the Roma went to destruction word of the disaster was received at the Navy post. In a few seconds bareheaded women were running to the adjutant’s office. Unable to obtain word of the probable fate of their husbands, many of them sped to the ferry and over to the scene of the wreck. The sentries, forcing the great crowds back with rough commands, held the women gently while officers and friends restrained them from pushing through to the wreck. One woman became hysterical and fought and screamed to break through the line. She finally fainted and was carried to the hospital. Officers, hardened to death in every form, quailed before the task of telephoning the news of Lieutenant Riley's death* to his widow at Aberdeen. Md. There is a three weeks’ old infant at the Riley home and It was feared the shock might prove serious to the young mother. Reardon was flat on his back with mud plastered over his face and neck when )tain Woods and others came to the cue. Reardon had just crawled from ler the wreck. “Just let me get the mud ont of my eyes,” Reardon said calmly in reply to a question as to his name and the extent of his injuries. Reardon, who is not seriously hurt, said he was in the control cabin when the controls went wrong. ELEVATION LEVERS REFUSE TO WORK. “Captain Mabry and Lieutenant Burt were at the control wheels when the ship ducked its nose. Burt pulled on the elevation lever, but it refused to work. Then he yelled “cut out the motors she won't respond." "Then the crash and all went black. I remember dimly breaking through the fabric and then I was out.” Hurley, slightly hurt, said that things happened so quickly he was on the

ground before he realized what had happened. Riedenbach, an engineer, said the Roma struck about twenty seconds after she tilted. The tragedy has wiped out the atr ship training school at Langley Field as practically every victim was either an instructor or student there. Included among the dead is nearly the entire original American crew of the Roma, which flew her into trial flights in Italy after her purchase from the Dalian government and then packed her and brought her back. Captain Davies said in his official report that the Roma started on her flight at 1:30 and fell at 2:19. Other officers place the time of the collapse at dtween 2 alid 2:10.

Congress, All Wrought Up, Would Shut Off Funds

WASHINGTON, Feb. 22.—A strong demand that all appropriations for Army and Navy dirigibles be stopped at once arose in Congress today as the result of the Itoma disaster at Norfolk yesterday, which took a toll of thirty-four lives. Because of the destruction of the Roma, the explosion of the '/.H Z over Hull, England, last August, with the loss of sixty-two lives, and the loss of several smaller craft in recent years, congres sional leaders, in close touch with Army and Navy affairs, believe It unwise to spend large sums of money and risk scores of lives In developing the dirigible. Doubt was expressed by many members that the dirigible never will be an effective weapon of warfare because of its apparent extreme susceptibility to accidents. With the Army and Navy appropriation bills pending in Congress, Representative Madden, Illinois, chairman of the House Appropriations Committee, said an investigation Into the disaster will be made to determine whether it is advisable to attempt further development of these ships and possibly to fixe responsibility for the Roma disaster in tiie event charges of neglect are made. A special board of inquiry may be orWhen ‘Cousin EtniV " Pays Another Call In-Laws’ll Know It \ CHICAGO, Feb. 22.— M Cou*tn Emir* Burgy took a mtaty <sl at hU pro*lwtive “In-lftwi" today.

American Officials and Wives Aboard Roma on Final Flight Over Italy

Special to Indiana Daily Times and Philadelphia Public Ledger. By KENNETH L. hOHKBTS. (Magazine writer, who was passenger on Roma on her final flight over Italy, for acceptance by United States.) WASHINGTON, Feb. 22.—The last long flight o fthe Roma before she was turned over to the United States Government was made in Italy, March 15, 1921. The flight started from the Ciampino airdrome on the outskirts of Rome at 9 o'clock I nthe morning.. The ship headed south along the Ancient Appiau way. Tolling gently from side to side like an ocean liner in a mild cross sea. The motion of a dirigible is very different from that of an airplane. An airplane lurches and pitches in rough air like a fast motorboat in a choppy sea, while a dirigible sways and wallow's, sometimes from side to aide and sometimes In long downward plunges and upward swings that aect the pit of the stomach as do the movements of an express elevator. The ship was universally regarded in Italy as being safe In every way, so that the Italian government was swamped with applications from persons who wished to make the trip, in addition to Major Thorneil, Captain Matry and Lieutenant Reed, who were in charge of the American crew sent to Italy to take over the Itoma, the passenger list Included Mrs. Thorneil and Mrs. Reed, Robert Underwood Johnson, the American ambassador to Italy, the ambassador's daughter, Colonel Chaney, the American aviation attache, and Mrs. Chaney, the American naval attache and his wife, the assistant military attache, the third secretary of the embassy and several newspaper correspondents. The ship was commanded by officers of the Italian air service and manned by the Italian and American crews. The chief of the Italian air service acted as host and a Danish prince and the engineer who designed the Roma and supervised her construction also were passengers The Roma usually traveled at a steady rate of sixty miles an hour. At the end

dered by Secretary of War Weeks or the Inspector General of the Army may be asked to make an additional investigation. "We ought not to squander our money on dirigibles if they are going to endanger lives in this manner." Representative Madden said. “Something mu at be done to prevent these giant airships from being a menace. We must either quit spending millions on theta or make them more safe." Madden said the committee would look into the accident immediately and would. IT it found it wise, advise the cutting of appropriations for dirigible developments. + A Stubborn Cough % *' Loosens Right Up % t t C Tbt* home-made remedy is woo- T der lor quirk results.

of an hour’s cruising she left the land behind her and cruised out over the Mediterreuean. Over the ocean the slight rolling of the ship ceased, and the passengers took to playing cards in order to relieve the monotony of the flight. CONTEMPLATED TRIP OVER MT. VESUVIUS. After an hour of travel over the water, the ship's commander turned inland again and steered over ancient Capua and the hot plains of Caserta. The original plan of the Italian navigators had been to sail her over the top of Mt. Vesuvius. The gas bags of the Roma had been Inflated for fifteen months, however, and the covering of the bags had become leaky. Consequently the ship would not develop a sufficient amount of lift to enable it to rise over the top of the mountain. The heat which rose from the vineyards of Caserta made the air very bumpy, and as the Roma worked around to the west of Mt. Vesuvius towards Naples, she began to wallow violently so violently that the passengers were forced to cling to stanchions, while ail moveable objects in the car piled up at the forward end as the ship luuged downward, and slid back to the rear and as she climbed upward again. STOPS XVALLOWING WHEN OVER IIAY. She passed over the etty of Naples and out over the bay of Naples, where the wallowing stopped. The trip from Rome to the Island of Capri at the entrance cf the Bay of Naples, a matter of two hundred and fifty miles, had been made In four hours. The same trip by tram and boat takes from ten to twenty hours. As the ship cruised around tlie Island

of Capri and headed north again, a table was set In the cabin and a five-course luncheon was served by way of celebrating the turning over of the ship to the Americans by the Italians. At this luncheon a speech was made by the chief of the Italian air service in which the spoke of the pride which the Italians took In their success in building and navigating the Roma, which was the largest semi-rigid dirigible ever constructed. He further stated that the Italian government was building another semi-rigid dirigible more than twice as large as the Roma. The trip back up the coast was made in three hours’ time. The ship turned inland at Oetla, the ancient port of Rome, at the mouth of the Tiber, and followed the Tiber up to Roma. It circled over the Vatican and wallowed for a time over the center of the city, and then headed into the setting sun toward the airdrome. One of the engines went bad and began to spit out a cylinder of flame a foot long and four inches in diameter. Since the passengers had been warned not to smoke, the attention of one of the American officers was called to the flume. He laughed at the idea that there could be any danger in the flame. “Asa matter of fact.” said he, “a fire could be built on the cockpit floor and food cooked over it without running any risk of accident.” The five hundred mile trip was made in eight hours. It was the twenty-fourth long trip that the Roma had made and one of the trips had been an all-night and all-day trip from Rome to the island of Sicily—more than a thousand miles. The American officers were confident of their ability to run the Roma under any and all conditions in America. Captain Mabry, who died in her wreck planned a regular schedule of flights before he left Italy. “Come and take a ride with us when we get this boat to America,” he said to me. “We’ll run her like a battleship; sail in any weather; work the men In shifts; four hours on and four hours off. Come on over to New York and make the Chicago run with us—New York to Chicago in one night. This is the way to travel.” — Copyright, 1922, by I’ublic Ledger Company.

Nine years ago I had to quit the farm on account of rheumatism. I had gotten down to where I couldn’t get in or out of bed. nor could I turn over in bed by myself. I had cramps In my hands so bad I couldn't hold a newspaper and I was so nervous my legs would jerk and twitch until 1 was almost desperate. I had suffered from rheumatism and stomach trouble for twenty years. “I am writing to you to say that my general health is good now. I have no rheumatism and my stomach is all right. I know you will be interested because I bought from you the T>nlac which changed my condition so wonderfully. I am working eight hours a day now making brooms and I wouldn't take one thousand dollars for the good Taulac has done me.” (Signed) WILLIAM COBLE.
