11 I'ASSENOEKS BKI.IF.VED LOST IN PLANE CRASH
SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 10. (UP) - Manager R. M Dooling of the San Francisco airport nai<I today that there “is not a chance in the world” that any of 11 persons aboard the Un,t« I Airlines plane which crashed in the Lay last night survived. 'i'ho 21-passenger Douglas airliner i:ra..iieil live miles east of Municipal ulipoit at 9 p. m. last night after Pilot A. R. (Tommy) Thompson had signaled for a landing at the end of its regular tw r o hour flight from Los Anyeles. 'i he wreckage was discovered five hours and 10 minutes later by Frank Fuller in a private airplane. The hay was almost light as day from powerful lights of tugs and bay craft which joined the search after the plane disappeared. The plane was found upside down with tail protruding about 10 feet from the water. The wheels were visible. “There is not a chance in the world that anyone in the plane Is alive.” Doolin said upon his return Irem the scene in a relief boat. An early plan to tow the wreck to the shore was abandoned as receding tides left the ship without sufficient water to float it. A derrick barge was sent to the scene but it
was not believed it would be able to begin salvaging operations until after daylight.

LEGISLATURE fCoutlniifd From I'm up One) States. * * The Judiciary A committee, before which is a fine array of inconsequential measures, today will report eight bills of the 13 it considered date yestentay. It has taken no action on at least 25 more, but Friday will have a public hearing on the ’‘Little .NRA” bill outlawing unfair trade practices in Indiana. This is the most important measure this committee has pending. Other committees are taking similarly cautious steps, and placing no obstacles in the way of the administration’s program. JUDICIARY
< Conf (iiiicrt From Pnffe One*) commit themselves. In that bloc of noncommittal senators appeared to be many who might be brought into line by administration pressure although a dozen of them privately expressed opposition to the plan. The house acted while the country discussed President Roosevelt's proposals on a tremendous scale. The Texas senate asked the state’s congressional delegation to vote against them, while the Colorado house asked its state’s delegation to support them. The Maine legislature and the Connecticut house, both Republican controlled, urged their delegations to oppose, while a similar resolution introduced in the New Jersey senate was referred to its judiciary committee. The South Carolina house refused to consider a resolution approving the proposals. That the country-wide debate was to increase was indicated in the announcement that A If M. Landon, President Roosevelt’s opponent in the November election, would attack the proposals in a speech in New York Friday night. Indications were that neither Sumner’s bill would meet vigorous Democratic or Republican opposition. Sumners drafted them before Mr. Roosevelt’s reorganization — which included both- was sent to congress. Rep. Emanuel Celler, D., N. Y., ranking member of the judiciary committee and close ally of Sumners, said the committee hoped through the retirement measure “to ease the tension because the supreme court's dignity has suffered and tempers have become ruffled.”

W. C. T. IT. Holds
Meeting Monday
The Grcencastle W. C. T. U. met in Keystone chapel Monday afternoon with the president, Mrs. S. E. Davies, presiding. The program opened with the singing of “Lead On, O King Eternal.” Mrs. Sarah Wright had charge of the devotions, bringing a very hopeful message from passages chosen from the Psalms, reading from the 30th and the 121st Psalms. She spoke on the thought of “A source of help," quoting, “I will lift up mine eyes into the hills, from whence cometh my help. My help cometh from the Lord, which made heaven and earth.” She emphasized the fact that the Lord will preserve that cause which is on the side of righteousness and help those who look to Him for strength. She closed with a prayer. The speaker of the afternoon was Prof. E. C. Bowman, who presented an informal talk on “Tne Psychology of the Alcohol Factor,” in which he discussed the question “How do we come by desire?” He said we were born with certain desires, and some were acquired by conditioning while others came through imitation. The desire for alcohol, he said, was acquired either by the process of conditioning or by imitating others. By some, drinking is thought to be smart, and young people may be led ■ into the habit by the desire to be called a good fellow. Then there is the desire for power, and alcohol gives a sense of false power; others are seeking a method of escape from reality and believe they will find this in moderate indulgence. He further said that many recent automobile accidents were caused by drinking drivers, not necessarily drunk, but moderate drinkers who loose their power of co-ordination by only indulging in a drink or two. He emphasized the point that we as Christian citizens should do all that we can to help in the safety movement and that young people should choose rather, the slogan, “It is smart to drive safely.” It does not pay to take a chancp. He deplored the fact that tobacco, cigarettes and liquor advertisments were often misleading because they are made too attractive and so prove a delusion and a snare to so many unsuspecting young people. The W. C. T. U. has worked for local option and legal prohibition and lias always stood for total abstinence. It is still seeking a better way to banish completely from our fair land the use of alcoholic drinks, so that the coming generation may be spared the temptation of acquiring the desire for alcohol, and thus save to the Christian world the millions of beautiful young lives that are now being so ruthlessly sacrificed to the
liquor traffic.
Dining the short business session Mrs. Earl E. Bowman was appointed a member of the Co-ordinating Council, with Mrs. J. E. Courtney, to meet with the Co-operative Council of the city. Mrs. Courtney gave a report of the membership committee and the meeting was adjourned to meet again on the second Monday in
March.

Edwin Markham Is ‘’Incompetent” HIS SISTER-IN-LAW BRINGS SUIT IN NEW YORK COURT. HERE THREE OCCASIONS
The report that Edwin Markham, the poet, whose "The Man with a Hoe” has been translated into 40 languages had been declared incompetent by a jury in New York City brought regret to many residents of Greencastle and vicinity, as well as to an imnumerable host over the entire world who have a deep affection for the old man who has expressed so many fine thoughts in his poetical works. Edwin Markham who is 84 years old has appeared publicly in Greencastle three times-- in 1921 and again in 1925 at the Greencastle High School, under the auspices of Miss Walls, and again at DePauw University, a guest of President Oxnam. On both appearances at the High School he was invited to speak to the college students, also, and, likewise, when Dr. Oxnam had him here he talked to the High School pupils. In that way, he had direct contact with hundreds of young people in this community, and they were deeply impressed by his loveable personality. Mr. Markham was very informal and unassuming, strolling around down town noticing the people on the streets, and looking over the selections of books in down-town stores. On one of his visits here he went into one of the book stores and asked for a copy of his own poems, which he bought, and presented to a young man who was accompanying him, with his compliments. It was his sister-in-law, Mary Murphy, who brought the proceedings to have him declared incompetent. The poet was born in Oregon City, Ore., April 23, 1852. On his eightieth birthday he Brought out “Eighty Songs at Eighty" and two years later three anthologies. Other well-known work include "Our Israel" and “The Ballad of Ure Gallows Bird.” “The Man With the Hoe” earned him $250,000 At the hearing it was brought out lli.it he had $40,000 in personal property and $12,000 in real estate and received an annuity of $5,000 from the Academy of American poets voted him last December.
