FRENCH WEEP AS DIRIGIBLE FUNERAL TRAIN PASSES

SILENT TRIBUTE IS PAID TO 4T CRASH VICTIMS Flowers Strewn on Coffins by Picardy Peasants, Army Aviators. TARDIEU HEADS PARADE British Warships Waiting in Harbor to Return Dead to England. BY RICHARD D. M’MILLAN United Press Staff Correspondent BEAUVAIS, France, Oct. 7.—A funeral train started across France today bearing forty-seven rough coffins, carrying the remains of the men who were killed when the British dirigible R-101, world's largest airship, crashed and exploded near here early Sunday. Citizens In towns and villages paid mute honor to the dead as the funeral cortege, bearing the bodies of Lord Thomson, British air minister, and many of Britain’s most noted airship experts passed by. Premier Andre Tardieu and Laurent Eynac, French air minister, led the formal procession from the town hall, where the bodies were taken from Allonne, to the railroad station. Flowers Heaped on Coffins Peasants of Picardy, grateful to the British army’s defense of their land four years ago, arrived in Beauvais at dawn with wagon loads of flowers which were heaped upon the coffins. Peasants scattered sacks of Picardy soil on the streets, over which gun carriages rumbled as they carried the coffins to the rail station. Thousands of Frenchmen wept and peasant women knelt and made the sign of the cross as the procession passed them. The impressive silence was broken only by the squadron of fifteen French army airplanes overhead, scattering flowers on the procession, and the tolling of cathedral chimes. The train of five black vans and two coaches proceeded to Boulogne, where the bodies were to be put aboard British warships Tempest and Tribute and taken to England. Only Five Identified As the bodies, only five of them identified, started back to England, British air ministry experts appeared no nearer a definite conclusion regarding the cause of the disaster than they had been at the start of their investigations. General belief was it was caused by a weakened structure, perhaps due to the recent lengthening of the ship, or leaky gas bags. Both causes could be attributed to the force of which sent ihe giant dirigto earth. \ Harry Leach, Arthur Bell and Joseph Binks, survivors of the crash, proceeded to Paris by train today. The condition of Arthur Disley, Victor Savery, Alfred Cook and Samuel Church, the remaining survivors, were such that they could not be removed from Beauvais. Cook suffered a serious relapse and it was feared that he might die. Memorial Is Suggested Bu Vnitcd Press LONDON, Oct. 7.—England awaited today the return of her dead, the forty-seven men who lost their lives when the storm-drenched dirigible R-101 crashed into a French hillside. While the destroyers Tribute and Tempest waited at Boulogne to transport the bodies of the victims across the English channel, the air ministry awaited replies to its suggestion, made to families of the victims, that they be accorded a common burial with a single memorial over the grave, since it practically was impossible to idenitfy most of the bodies. It was believed generally the relatives would agree. The memorial probably will be raised in the vicinity of Cardington.

IF KIDNEYS ACT BAD, DRINK WATER Add a spoonful Jad Salts to first glass before breakfast to clear intestines of poisons that may pass from intestinal tract to kidneys and invite trouble. If you nave miserable pains in your back, or strained feeling, don’t jump to the conclusion you have a bad kidney ailment and start dosing yourself with a lot of medicine. Plain water is the best diuretic—the best flusher of the kidneys you can find. Drink a full glass one-half hour before breakfast to which you’ve added a spoonful of ordinary Jad Salts. The water will flush the kidneys. The Jad Salts will cleanse the intestines of the dangerous toxins of Systemic Poisoning which are probably the real cause of those back pains. According to recent discoveries of able men of science, these toxins frequently pass irom the lower intestines to the kidneys, causing pus formations and pain—and inviting trouble. Get them out of your system and chances are, those pains you've diagnosed as "kidney pains” will go like magic. You'll feel a general easing up, less of that horribly tired and strained feeling at your back. You’ll feel more snappy and alert than perhaps tor years You can get the Jad Salts at any corner drug store. Just ask for ordinary Jad Salta. Take as suggested above. Also drink two glasses of plain water between every two meals and at bedtime. Then if your "kidney pains” aren't completely gone irk six days or less, see a good doctor. Try this simple way ■'today. You'll be glad that you did. —Advertisement.

COMET ‘BARELY’ MISSES HITTING EARTH BY ONLY 5,000,000 MILES

Hii l nit til Pros* PARIS. Oct. 7.—French astronomers at the Meudon observatory have announced that all danger of a collision of the Schwassman - Wachmann comet with the earth is past. The comet has swung as close to the earth as It ever will come and now is disappearing. having missed this globe tfr the comparatively small celestial space of five million miles.

The disaster that overtook the British dirigible R-101 Sunday morning left her a twisted mass of steel framework symbolizing the tragic deaths of forty-six of Britain’s finest air experts. This photograph, sent via radio to New York and transmitted to Chicago over telephoto wires, shows French gendarmes carrying victims away from the wreckage.

LINK VAST OIL GRAB TO WORK Former Secretary Charged With ‘Preparing Way.’ Bu United Press NEW YORK, Oct. 7.—Ralph S. Kelley, suspended interior department employe, charged in a copyrighted article in the New York World today that a ruling by Hubert Work, former secretary of interior, “prepared the way” for oil interests to gain possession of public oil lands “worth upward of $20,000,000,000.” The ruling was made in the Free-man-Summers case ten months before Work resigned to become campaign manager for President Hoover, Kelley stated, adding that it reversed previous decisions and set a precedent which has been followed since. Freeman, Kelley charged, was interested in a plot of land in western Colorado, being worked by Summers, a homesteader. Back by the Union Oil Company of California, Freeman made several attempts to have his title declared valid by the interior department, failing each time. Summers, too poor to hire counsel or even attend, was not present, according to Kelley, when Work’s ruling reversed the sworn testimony which Kelley charged was taken at the previous hearings and “validated purely imaginary paper oil claims covering an area of 400,000 acres of the Colorado oil field and containing at least twenty million barrels of petroleum.” SLEUTHS TO MEET 70th Session of Convention Scheduled Tonight.

French scientists insist that the earth had a narrower escape than most laymen ever imagined. Had the little comet come on at the speed and angle it did when it was discovered by the German astronomers, Schwassman and Wachmann on May 1, 1930, it would have put a dent in the globe and perhaps knocked the earth out of its circuit. Scientists arr lost in weird con- i jectures of what might have hap- j

- How Romance Ripened at Two Cents an Ounce

How romance ripens at 2 cents an ounce—the current first class postal rate —regaled hard-boiled postal inspectors today as they read the missives penned and posted by a quartet of alleged matrimonial swindlers, now under arrest. If the lovelight failed to kindle in inspectors’ eyes, it was because they hold another sheaf of letters — from sadder but wiser swains whose souls and pocketbooks were touched by cupid's postal advances. So extensive was the quartet’s operations, inspectors declare, that they resorted to mimeographing their messages of love without appreciable deterioration in their pulling power. The “one, two, three’’ to the heart and bank account, as allegedly worked by the two men and two women held In jail at Crawfordsville, Marion and Muncie for federal authorities here, went something like this, according to letters produced by the inspectors: NUMBER 1 My Dear Friend—Wrote you a letter a few days aso, which I trust you received all right. Have been thinking of you and thought I would write of something to Interest you. When I wrote to you first. X also wrote to four others and received replies from three. One wrote that he had sufficient correspondents, one that he was to be married this month and the other wrote the same as you did. I wrote to him and should have had a reply long before this. But that does not matter because he does not appeal to me like you and your letters do. Hope you have a reply to my other letter on the way. I want you to answer this also and promise a prompt and more interesting reply. At present I am employed as cook at a lunch room, but times are so hard It does not pay much, hardly more than living expenses. I was Playing the piano at the movies, but talking did away with my position. I just have a furnished room now and do not like It, especially for my boy, who -will start to school soon. I have a Ford coupe which is about paid for. just two more payments. $62. Will sure be glad then. X will also be glad when my dad's estate will be settled. We have tiecided to sell everything and should have at least $2,000 each, but that won’t be until November. I sure would like to be married and settled In a real home. NUMBEP 2 My Dear Friend—So very g!ad to get your Interesting welcome letter and thank you most heartily for your kindness. I am grateful and appreciative.

Your description of yourself and your surroundings appeal to me In every respect and I wish I were there right now. If possible I would like to have you come here. We could accomplish more in a few hours than in a hundred letters. About myself, I was born and raised on a farm. When ray Dad died our home was broken up. My mother Is living at Marion, Ind., also two brothers and one sister. I have one sister at Richmond, Ind. I was married at an early age to a brutal drunkard, who beat me, gambled and ran around with other women. He deserted me over ten years ago. I got a divorce. I have one son. He Is a fine boy. It sure was a hard struggle for me to raise him and I am mighty proud of my work. I have never bothered with men around here, from what I see of them they think of nothing but gambling and chasing around. It has not been my good fortune to meet a real man who wants a. Home Sweet Home like. I do. I have always longed for a home of my own. a cozy loving home, where I could be happy making a true loving man happy.

A, F, OF L, MAY DEMAND REPEAL OF LIOUOR LAW •Volstead Act Has Failed,’ Says Resolution Up to Convention, Bu United Press BOSTON, Oct. 7.—A resolution urging repeal of the Volstead act was submitted to the covention of the American Federation of Labor today by Arthur J. Beauregard of the Providence Central Federated Union. The resolution was believed to have the almost unanimous backing of delegates from large cities of the east and a floor battle was looked for should the resolutions committee, to which the proposal was referrred, report it unfavorably. Many of the 418 delegates attending the convention were said to be dissatisfied with that part of the executive council’s report, read by President William Green Monday, which recommended the convention reiterate the federation’s past demands for modification of the Volstead act so as to permit “the manufacture and sale of wholesome beer.” Beauregard's resolution said the Volstead act has “failed completely to bring about the Utopia promised by its advocates, but instead has brought about a condition abhorrent to constitutional government as a result of wholesale and’ retail bootlegging, hijacking, cutting hooch, wood alcohol, gang warfare, speakeasies, smuggling across the borders of both land and sea, commercialized justice,” and “government by padlock and injunction.” JOBS FOND VOTED Cleveland Approves Bond Issue of $200,000.

C., Oct. 7.—President Hoover moved into the new industrial southland today to conclude a speaking trip which already has carried him into t no vital congressional campaign states, Ohio and Massachusetts. Here, in surroundings reminiscent of his 1928 presidential campaign, Mr. Hoover will greet possibly 60,000 of the new textile region citizens, many of whom supported him two years ago. From the revolutionary battlefield atop Kings mountain, the executive will deliver his message to them and to their kinfolk who stretch out. all along this eastern seaboard of the Alleghenies, harnessing the hilf streams for power to operate their cotton mills. G. O. P. Needs Voters His messages to bankers, citizens in general and to labor already have been delivered at Cleveland and Boston. Mr. Hoover’s southern campaign message in 1928 was uttered only a, little more than a hundred milea away at Elizabethton, Tenn., wherel problems are much similar to those confronted here. About twenty-five miles away is Gastonia, N. C, where! strike disorders and alleged Communist activity drew national attention several month. ago. To maintain its majority in congress, the administration needs to hold the few Republican congressional seats which have been granted by the people of these districts. Ono particularly close district is the Ninth North Carolina, in which Kings Mountain is situated. Thu seat now is held by Representative Jonas, a Republican. Address at Battle Site The address will be delivered a few miles over the border in South Carolina, at the battle site, There a band of patriots, assembled from nearby farms, made a gallant cssault Oct. 7, 1780. upon the intrenched troops of the British General Patrick Ferguson.
