NOBILE AND AltiS AT MERCY OF WINDS ON ICE FLOE

AIRSHIP CHIEF AND CREW ARE SHIFTED WEST Current Moves Haven Two Kilometers in Last 24 Hours. COMMANDER IS HURT Two Others Are Injured in Crackup of Dirigible in Arctic. Bu Unit*** Press COPENHAGEN, June 14.—Winds and the strong current off Nortlieastland are shifting the ice block, on which Gen. Umberto Noblie and several of his companions are stranded, to the west, late radio advices said today. The last communication received from the Italian explorer gave his position as 80.37 degrees north and 27.24 degrees east. The message indicated the ice block had shifted two kilometers west in the last twenty-four hours. Three Hurt in Crash Bn United Press ROME, June 14.—Three members of the crew of the dirigible Italia including Gen. Umberto Nobile, were injured when the big Polar craft suddenly plunged to the ice May 25, it was announced officially today. In addition to the commander, Natale Cecioni, chief engineer, and Finn Malmgren, Swedish meteorologist, were injured. Cecioni’s right leg was broken and he is the most seriously injured. General Nobile’s right arm and leg were hurt when the Italia, sinking suddenly from an altitude of about 545 feet, crash 1 onto the ice north of Northeastland. Dirigible Blown East The cabin in which the three were riding, along with six others of the polar adventurers, was smashed away from the dirigible, which subsequently was blown eastward, carrying with it seven other members of the Italia’s crew’. Malmgren received severe contusions on the arm in the crackup. Official reports from the Italian explorer, telling of the actual crash of the big craft, were received eagerly here and brought added confidence to Italy that the crew would be saved. Nobile and his immediate party are housed under a sliken red tent on floating ice near Northeastland, and expeditions from four nations have started to their aid. v Hopen Island Is Base Nobile’s last advices said he had not heard from the three men who started walking eastward from his present position, nor had* he heard from the seven men still with the dirigible. It has been decided to make Hopen Island, about 280 miles from w’here Nobile now is, the airplane relief base for the Russian and Swedish airplanes which will carry on reconnoitering expeditions. This base will be about three hours flying time from Nobile. It is probable the two Italian planes now en route to Kings Bay also will use Hopen Island as a relief base.

Miss Sarah Youtsey Never Believed in Spanking; Fought Tardiness. When the children of School 20 1125 Spruce St., get their report cards Friday and go scampering out the school door for the last time this year, a white-haired teacher who taught many of their parents will smile a little sadly to hear the feet pattering down the walk. It will be the end of fifty years' teaching service in the Indianapolis schools, for that teacher, Miss Sarah YOutsey. Always Against Spanking “I do not know what I shall do without my children,’’ Miss Youtsey sighed today. “I imagine I shall have to adopt one.” Many of the mothers and fathers of her present pupils remember, “Miss Youtsey, who didn’t believe in spanking.” “I have never believed in beating and banging on children,” she admitted. “Every child must be handled differently, and with a little understanding can be managed easier without 'being driven or spanked.’’ But there is one thing at which Miss Youtsey dravs the line. “I have never been tardy a day in my life and I can’t forgive a youngster for it,” she said. I Educated in City Miss Youtsey began her teaching career at School 20. Then school autdorities recognized her abilities as a disciplinarian and transferred her for a time to School 5, at that time a “problem” school where “bad boys” and girls hard to handle were sent. But, except for a few years at School 5 and School 28, she has spent the fifty years at School 20. The veteran teacher received all her education in Indianapolis schools. She graduated from Shortridge High School, finished at the Indianapolis Normal, and began teaching when Lewis H. Jones was superintendent. She lives with her sister, Mrs. Harry Clark, at 525 N. Bancroft St. BANDITS ELUDE POLICE Abandon Car in Chase, Escape With SSO From Gas Station. Two Negro bandits, who held up Snyder’s Service Station, TwentyFifth St. and College Ave..

GILLIOM DENIES LINK TO KLINCK Affidavit Filed in Court by Attorney General. Attorney General Arthur L. Gilliom today filed in Criminal Court an affidavit denying that Earl Ktjnck ever had any connection with the attorney general. Gilliom thereby put into official record the testimony he was prevented by defense counsel from giving in Klinck’s trial early week, in which Klinck was found guilty of being an accessory to the fraudulent use of a notary’s seal. William Rogers, State witness, had testified that Klinck had represented to him that he was representing the attorney general’s office. Gilliom' was called, but was prevented from denying this by defense lawyers. “Affiant would have testified if permitted, and now deposed, that any pretensions or representations by Defendant Klinck, tne witness Rogers, as testified by the latter, to the effect that said Klinck represented the attorney general of Indiana in any matter, at any time or in any manner are wholly false and untrue,” says the affidavit. Gilliom states that the affidavit “is made for the information of the trial judge in said cause for such relavancy as it may have against any petition for clemency by said Klinck."

FOG AND WIND BLOCK OCEAN PLANES' RACE Bad Weather Extends Al; Along East Coast of Newfoundland. BY J. T. MEANEY United Press Special Correspondent ST. JOHNS, N. F., June 14.—Fog and a strong northeast wind today forced postponement at least until Friday of the trans-Atlantic airplane race between Miss Amelia Earhart’s Friendship and Miss Mabel Boll’s Columbia. The bad weather area extended all along the East coast, and made a start for a trans-Atlantic flight impracticable. It was reported today that the backers of the Friendship had advised Wilmer Stultz, co-pilot with Miss Earhart, to take the plane to Conception Bay, where it would be easier to get it out of the water. In a short test flight this morning, after repeated failures to get the plane to rise from Trepassy Bay, Stultz was estimated to have 750 gallons of gasoline aboard—barely enough for a trans-Atlantic flight under best conditions, according to its rated fuel consumption. The plane with this load lifted well, and made a good landing. Superintendent Bridger of the Cape Race direction finding station, made a hurried motorcycle visit to Stultz Wednesday night. This caused the rumor that the Friendship’s backers had suggested a move to Conception Bay. Meanwhile, the Bellanca monoP ] ane Columbia, which Miss 801 l
