She suffered from a severe sunburn during the summer, but this, it w T as said, had noting to do wih her fatal illness—an illness which Broadway said coincided with the breach in her romance.

BALLOON ACES TO RACE FOR BENNETT CUP Nine Pilots, Representing Six Countries, Compete for Air Trophy. START AT ST. LOUIS 40,000 Expected to Watch Giant Gas Bags Take Off Saturday. BY RALPH L. SANDERS. United Press Staff Correspondent ST. LOUIS, Mo., Sept. 27—Competing for the third James Gordon Bennett trophy and $3,500 in cash awards, nine pilots representing the United States, Germany, l Belgium, Denmark, Argentina and France will lift their balloons from a field Saturday afternoon in the seventeenth annual James Gordon Bennett International balloon race. Cash prizes totaling $3,000 are offered by the air board of the St. Louis Chamber of Commerce and Alan R. Hawley, millionaire New York sport, has put up SSOO to go to the pilot breaking his own American distance record of 1,172 miles established in 1910. . Permanent possession of two previous cups has been won by Ernest Demuyter for Belgium and by United" States pilots, for winning the race three consecutive times. The present cup, the third, is donated by the Detroit Board of Commerce. After World Marks In addition to the American distance record, pilots also will point for the world mark of 1,334 miles set in 1912 by M. Bienaime of France, who took off from Stuttgart, Germany, and landed in Moscow, Russia, forty-six hours later. To beat the longest mark the winning pilot would have to land in the vicinity of Helena, Mont., Augusta, Me., Key West, Fla., or Tucson, Ariz., though it is unlikely the bags will float westward. Pilots entered in the 1929 race are: United States, Captain William E. Kepner, army, winner of the 1928 race; Lieutenant T. W. G. Settle, navy; Ward Van Orman, Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company, winner in 1926. Germany, Erich Liemkugel, flying the “Stad Essen” and Kuga Kaulen, the “Barmen.” Belgium, Ernest Demuyter, the “Belgica.” Denmark, Lieutenant George Schenstrom, the “Denmark.” Argentina, Edward Bradley, the “Argentine.” France, Georges Blanchet, representing the French Aero Club. A second French entry was withdrawn. Thousands to Watch Forty thousand persons are expected to watch the ascensions. But they will not smoke. Race officials will be strict about that, since the coal gas used in the balloon is highly inflammable. Approximately 1,000,000 cubic feet of gas pumped through a special six-inch pipe with a pressure of about seven pounds flowing 100,000 cubic feet an hour will be required to fill the balloons. That is enough to illuminate a fair-sized city. Starting at 7 a. m., inflation will be completed but a short time before the str.ting gun at 4 p. m.

MUSSOLINI AID GETS 30-YEAR TREASONTERM Cesare Rossi Found Guilty of Conspiring Against Present Regime. HEADED PRESS BUREAU Former Fascist Leader Also Accused of Plotting Premier’s Death. Bu United Press ROME, Sept. 27.—Cesare Rossi, former chief of Premier Mussolini’s press bureau and once a powerful figure in the Fascist ranks, was found guilty of conspiracy against the present Italian regime today and sentenced to thirty years imprisonment. Rossi’s trial before the social military tribunal in defense of the state, lasted only about three hours during which the former printer was charged variously with inciting movements against the government and plotting the death of his former friend, Mussolini. The tribunal judges deliberated only twenty-five minutes. The verdict compels Rossi to serve three years of his thirty-year sentence in solitary confinement and banishes him perpetually from holding public office. Prosecutor Michele Isgro’s summation characterized the former press bureau chief, who resigned and fled the country in 1924 shortly after the assassination of Deputy Giacomo Matteotti, as a Judas, whose treachery was too repulsive to deserve mercy. The prosecutor said Rossi was not repentant and did not follow Judas’ example of committing suicide. He charged Rossi was the plotter of numerous plans against the life of Premier Mussolini. Rossi was acquitted of complicity in the Matteotti crime, and, in turn, charged Mussolini had directed the Tcheka organization to carry out the murder. The prosecutor elaborated on this. Rossi’s attorney, Aristide Manassero, contended that the defendant’s offenses should be examined solely under their judicial aspect and that they were covered by Article 5 of the law in the defense of the'state which inflicts milder punishment than under Article 2 which the state charged.

MAD KILLER OF SUBWAY STRAPPED Maniac Bares Irresistible Urge to Push Victims ' to Their Death. DETECTIVES SAVE GIRL 'Funny Feeling’ Forces Him to Commit Murders, Prisoner Says. BY SAM LOVE United Press Stall Correspondent NEW YORK, Sept. 27.—Death—always inches away on an elevated or subway platform—visited James Tucker, 45, wealthy Brooklyn manufacturer Thursday, and today brushed an unidentified woman so lightly that she never was aware of it. At the moment when the young woman seemed destined to “fall” in front of a train, three detectives arrested a self-admitted maniac who had crept up behind her. No “thriller" of the Broadway stage equals In potential horror the confession which the detectives said David Bernstein, 45, a tailor out of work, freely gave to them. Every New Yorker 1$ aware—sometimes painfully conscious—of the fact that when he is standing on a subway or elevated platform, his life hinges entirely on the good-will and sanity of the other members of the throng. It is as easy to kill an elevated rider as it would be to push a tourist over the edge of the Grand canyon.

Killer Tells Story In fact, it is easier, as Bernstein —one of the most insignificant appearing of all the city insignlflcants—described it after his arrest. With his first admission that he killed Tucker Wednesday, detectives immediately began checking the list of recent inexplicable subway and "L” “suicides” in an effort to trace others. Bernstein’s story was without point except He said he left his wife and four children at his home in Brooklyn Wednesday morning to seek a job in Jamaica. “A funny feeling comes over me sometimes,” he interjected, "and when it comes I want to push people off the platform. When It happens, I don’t care whether it Is man, woman or child.” Bernstein said the "funny feeling" struck him at Lorimer street and he became nervous and left the train. He walked awhile, then climbed an elevated stairway and boarded an other train. He rode* aimlessly, watching the peoplp and not caring for their appearance. Shoves Man to Death About 4 p. m. he found himself on the plaform at Broadway and Myrtle avenue, Brooklyn. He saw a prosperous-appearing man of about his own age—Tucker—Leave a train and slowly pace the platform as j though waiting for another. Bernstein approached him causally. He was near the edge of the platform. He gave Tucker a little push. Without even crying out, Tucker fell to the tracks, slid between the ties and fell forty-five feet to the paving below. No one had noticed the push. Bernstein and another man ran down the steps to the street. They picked up Tucker and carried him to a store. Bernstein waited with the dying man while the other telephoned to the police. An ambulance gong made him shiver and he edged away through the crowd In the store. He went home. Spotted Prey Thursday night, he said, he couldn’t sleep because of the “funny feeling,” and he returned as quickly as he could today to the Myrtle avenue station. Among those who waited was a young woman, carrying a handbag, evidently bound for work. She was impatient, near the edge of the platform, eagerly watching for her train. But only Bernstein single 3. her out. He moved toward her slowly. The roar of an approaching train now could be heard. Suddenly the little tailor lurched, but the young woman, all unconscious, moved slightly aside and three pairs of hands grabbed Bernstein. The hands belonged to Detective Lieutenant George Gassman and two detectives. The train ground to a stop in front of them, paused and pulled away while Bernstein struggled silently. The detectives looked around for the young woman. But she calmly had boarded the train, unaware of anything except that she probably would be a-moment late at “the office” WIDOW DOUBTS SUICIDE Asks Coroner to Probe Drowning in Sylvan Lake.
