Accidents in Air Not the Fault of Planes Official figures from Washington throw a flood light on the cause of aviation accidents. Half of the mis j haps are due to the pilots, one quarter to defects in the airplanes and the other quarter to general conditions. This should help to set at rest the common belief that airplanes have not been developed to a reasonable degree of safety. Reckless or incompetent pilots and lack of proper landing fields are to blame for three out of every four accidents. If figures were available to show the number of accidents that befall first-class plants operated by responsi - ble companies and manned by seasoned pilots, the total would be astonishingly small. The rarity of accidents tQ, the United States mail planes illustrates, perhaps best of all. the high factor of safety that can be attained in air navigation.—New York American.

Clears Up Four-Year-Old Crime
Roving Farm Worker Confesses to the Murder of Sweetheart. New York.—Any writer of detective stories who could not produce a fas’ selling tnriller out of the real facts which surrounded the murder of Sarah Elizabgin Johnson, back in 19£4, down in Middlesex county. N. J„ the home of the world’s best murder mysteries, is not worthy of the name. There was love interest, an ardent, fiery, bitterly passionate love interest. There were parental objections to this interest. There was a wrathy and disagreeable argument between the objecting parent and the ardent swain which just preceded the murder, and there was the indignant parent who scoffed ai love and drove the lover from bis farm. Then there was a cave,, eerie and mysterious, way out behind the apple orchard, with a heavy stone door, and with a cavernous interior which could : hide almost anything. That was the love nest, the trysting place where the lovers met and talked over the hard luck which faced them. Killed at Trysting Place. it was at the mouth of that cave that Sarah Elizabeth Johnson was murdered. The story was, then, that she had told the swain she loved him, that life meant nothing to her without him and all that sort of thing. But she had also told him that she dared not defy her Irate father, and that she couldn’t marry him until he had settled down, thrown aside his nomadic disposition and shown that he really, in the end. might amount to something. So he shot her, pushing the ' muzzle down her opened mouth. There was never any real doubt as to who did the actual murder, but that, of course, for purposes of fiction could have been clouded just a little, i The point is that Middlesex county ; now has its hands on the man who. according to advices from the west coast, has confessed to facts which the county detectives believe were the : true ones. A Roving Farmhand. Harvey Lee Seihaver, when Kingston (N. J.) knew him, was a big, twofisted worker of the soil. But he was a nomad at heart. He blew into | Princeton in April of 1924 on the ' brake beams of a freight. Somehow he had not dropped off when the freight train was put On the branch at Princeton Junction, and be found himself in a college town, where work ; was scarce. For one week he worked | as gardener in the town and then | started plodding through the country ! side. • Early In May he banged on the rear door of a rambling old farmhouse about four miles outside Kingston, j which happened to be just in Middle- ! sex county. His rap was answered by a smiling girl of sixteen who told him she would call her father. Girl la Popular. This girl was Sarah Elizabeth John ) sou She was a blonde, trim and neat, i with blue eyes that were constantly ’ smiling. According to those who knew ' her in the village of Kingston, “Say” was vivacious, charming, and full of fun. Evidently Harvey Lee Seihaver, thought so. too. In any event he took a job on Joseph A. Johnson’s farm. It was as pretty a melodramatic movie setting as one could wish. The i only trouble was that Harvey didn’t know what restraint meant, and he had spent 32 years of life battling around, fighting farmers, but in the end getting about what he wanted, principally because of his strength. It was late in July when Johnson
BYRD ANTARCTIC DISCOVERY MAY CAUSE OWNERSHIP ROW
Formation of International Arbitration Board to Settle Claims Probable. Washington.—Commander Richard Byrd’s discoveries in the Antarctic region may lead eventually to the crea tion of an international arbitration commission to settle the question of just how far ownership is established for a nation by the setting up of its flag in an uninhabited country. This was indicated here following the announcement that Commander Byrd claimed a vast new territory tn the Antartic for,the United States. Records in the State department left the question hazy, as international law cited was to the effect that discovery such as Commander Byrd’s establishes a claim for bis nation, but not, a permanent right to the country. “How far the mere discovery of a territory which is either unsettled or

settled only by savages gives a right to it,” one authority declared, “is a question which neither the law nor the usages of nations has yet definitely settled.” But another source asserted that “the ground taken British government, that a discovery made by a private individual in the prosecution of a private enterprise gives no right," cannot be allowed. “There is nothing,” this authority continued, “to support it, either in reason or in the law and usage of nations. To say the least, if a discovery so made confers no right it prevents any other nation from acquiring a right by subsequent discovery, although made under the authority of the government and with an express view to that- object.” It was said unofficially that if the question of the validity of Comwander Byrd’s claim to the land for

He left notes in the cave for “Say.” and she left answers. They met there. The girl, however, had told her father she wouldn't think of marrying Harvey. Perhaps she stuck to that resolution when she met him there. Seihaver now says'that she turned him down on August 24 and he became angry. He had a revolver. In the cave, the day the murder was fliscovered, were clearly defined marks which showed there had been a bitter struggle. “Say” put up a fight against the cave mao, that is sure. Evidently she opened her mouth at one time. for the revolver which killed her was probably pushed into her mouth when it was fired. She dropped dead, and Seihaver, perhaps in remorse. pulled her body out of the cave into the path which leads past it to the store at Kingston. There it was discovered within two hours. Os course suspicion pointed to Seihaver. He became a much wanted farmhand. But he disappeared and not a word was heard from him until he walked into a Seattle police station recently and confessed to killing the girl. .

the United States did arise it probably would be settled by an international arbitration commission. Though the Antarctic generally is looked upon as a land of little value, it might be used as a base for meteorological investigations. Once a discovery long considered as unimportant suddenly assumed large proportions—the island of South Georgia, rarely thought of as a source of revenue, far in the south Atlantic, but during the World war it was “rediscovered” from another standpoint as a base for vario.us whaling expeditions.

Frog Snapped at Snapper Among a consignment from South America received at the New York zoological garden recently was a large horned frog which is new to Doctor Ditmars. He said that the frog was the most unusual reptile he had seen in many years. It is 5% inches long, of green bronze color and has horns. The keepers of the reptile house were warned that the newcomer was vicious, but because of its size they were not alarmed until .they saw it jump at a photographer, barking very much like an .angry dog as it did so. On investigation it was found that the frog had very strong jaws and teeth, and Doctor Ditmars said that it could no doubt inflict a very painful wound.
