Killed at Bustlcton
ATTEMPT TO FLY PLANE

Tragedy Stopped Flight to New
York to Enter Transcon
tinental Race
Only one of the sir aviator hurt in
two accidents at Bintlctnn field, in ono
of which Colonel Towrurncl F. DoilJ
Aras killed, is still in a serlniiK condition
today at the Frankford Hospital. He
is Lieutenant Charles It. Colt and phy
sicians say that he will piobnbly re
cover. The accidents oocuirecl within hall
an hour. In the 6rst Colonel Dodd, one
of America's most famous army avia
, tors, was killed. In the second, five
fliers were injured The two airplanes
were passing over the uty on their waj
to New York to take part in the trans
continental race.
Lieutenant Colt's condition Impioved
rapidly today and he was able to tell
the story of the accident.
"It was due to bursting tires. ' he
aid. "When we cainc down the tires
exploded and the rims of the wheels dug
Into the ground. They went iu deep,
because the ground had been made soft
I by the rains.
"This Midden ihcckmg of the mo
mentum of the plane caused it to turn
over.
"The field is a difficult one on which
to land owing to the number of electric
light, telephone and telegraph wires in
the way of aviators who arrive theie "
Since the accidents there has been
discussion among aviators at Ilustleton
Field in favor of paviug the field with
cement to prevent Mich disaster as that
which befell the machine in which
Major Davis and his partv were in
jured. , Tho dead was

ous. The other Overs hurt in I lie accidents
weie able to leave the hospital, after
lecdving attention from the surgeons.
Death Ending of Romance
Colonel Dodd's machine was the fiitt
to meet disaster. His death gave a
tragic ending to one of the war'b pret
tiest romances. He had been married
only since last April and his bride, like
himself, had won distinction during the
war. She was Miss St. Clair Living
stone Stone, n cousin of Ensign Jack
Livingstone, one of the test pilots at
tho navy yard. With Miss Ingelborg
Steen Hansen, she went to Europe as a
Red Cross nurse and served in Belgium,
Serbia nnd the Balkan?. She was deco
rated several times for her courage and
unflagging services to the wounded and
suffering.
During this time Colonel Dodd was
making his great reputation as a flier.
The two met in Europe and when they
returned to this country at the end of
the war they were married iu Wash
ington, at the home of General and Mrs.
X?riffin.
Mrs. Dodd is expected to arrive iu
.Philadelphia today to accompany the
body of her husband back to Wash
ington. lft Capital Sal mday
Coloned Dodd was commander of the
Langlry Field, Virginia, and was oue
of the first of the army officers who re
ceived aviator's commissions.
Hel?ft Washington Saturday to fly
tq fftw Tork, but the fog compelled
,hjm to land here. Crowing impatient
at the delay, he decided to proceed,
despite the fog. He made the start in
Ills bombing plane, accompanied by
Sergeant Hess, but soon found that he
could not continue. In trying to land
in the veil of mist hanging over the
aviation field, he drove his machine
against o tree. The engine was shaken
Joose from its fastenings and fell
against Colonel Dodd, pinning him
against the gas tank. He was strang
led to death while Sergeant Hess was
struggling to land the damaged airplane.
About fifteen minutes later, the sec
ond airplane, in which five fliers were
, Tiding, met disaster. This was also a
bombing plane, but a much larger ma-
if cbino than that used by Coloucl Dodo.

it wns learned that the congressman is

In a statement made by Secretary

the Grnver arrest, it was said:
"This matter lias been under care

ted that he was waiting for his son

him to the polling place and supply
identification.
"Grover, although registered, there
after made no attempt to vote. Since
then tho case has been thoroughly In
vestigated and the commltten believes
that the charges against Grnver can
be substantiated in u court of law."
Roach said the committee expects to
Issue wnrrunts for the arrest of police
men and police officials alleged to have
been politically active iu violation of the
law.

El
Denies Montclair's Allegations
of Discrimination and Asks
Trial for Zone System
HEARING FOR TOMORROW
Submitting tlint u fail tiiul of the
yone-fare plan was both wise and pru
dent iiiul asking for just unci impartial
consideration by nil sides of the diffi
culties, the Slate Boaid of Public Util
ity Commissioners today at Trenton
filed with Goveinor Run j on their an
swer to chaiges made by the boaid of
Lommissioneis of Montcluir, alleging
misconduct iu office and neglect of
duty
The board poiuls out that, if the
S)stem is found impracticable, the right
to make changes can be invoked.
The Governor hns set tomoirow at his
office as the time and place for a public
hearing on the charges.
The utility board admits that it did
not complete appraisal and valuation of
the propert) of the company nnd its af
filiated and allied corporations, but de
nies that the appraisal ami vnluatiou of
.. c propel t) is ueccs-sni) before per
mitting the schedule of fares complniutU
of to become effective
Denies Discrimination
The board admits that it peunitleil
cubject to modification n schedule or
tariff of rates based on the zone mile
s.vstem of fares. The commission also
admit that they did not lcquirc the
Public Service Compaii) to comply with
the rates of fares provided for in the
municipal ordinance or franchise grant
ed by the town and they deny the boaid
adopted rates of fare discriminating
against the town of Montelair.
The boaid denies that it fiiilrd to hear
and determine whether the rates of fare
under the rone-fare s.vstem were just
and reasonable, as well ns the allegation
that the board approved of unjustvnnd
unteasonnble rates of faic under the
zone-fare sjstcm.
Denial is also made by the boaid of
the following allegations;
That it approved of the Public Seivice
Railwa) Company repudiating its con
tract and frnucliise with the town of
Moutclair arising from the incicuse in
fares permitted by the zoue-fure s.vs
tem; that it disregarded contracts ic
speeting faies between the Public Serv
ice Railway Company nnd its sub
sidiaries and the municipalities of the
state of New Jersey, but compiled with
the decisions of the Supreme Couit and
the Court of Errors und Appeals re
specting such contracts.
New Tariff Legal Boaid Holds
The board insists that the action of
the board iu permitting, subject to the
modifications, the schedule or tariff of
rates to become effective September lL
1010, based on the zone mile sjstcm of
fares, was legal, and a proper cxeicise
of the discretion of the boaid.
The answer declares that the Public
Seivice Railway Compauj prcscutcd
proofs showing increased cost of oper
ation and maintenance and orders from
the war labor board for increased wages
to cmplojcs and that therefore addi
tional levcnucs were necessary to allow
the company to furnish service.
"We nsk at the hands of the governor
nnd on the part of the public a just and
impartial consideration of all the diffi
ciilties with which this subject is beset,"
the nnsvvcr sa)s.
The document was signed by John
W. Slocum, president of the utility
board, and Commissioners Alfred 8,
March, George, V. Wright, Andrew
Gaul, Jr., and Harrj L. Knight, and
former Governor and former United
States Attornc) General John W,

have six votes in the league
to one for the United States, Senator
McCumber, Republican, of Noith Da
kota, charged in the Senate today that
senators advocating the amendment by
Senator Johnson, Republican, of Cali
fornia, proposing to limit the voting
power of the British colonies were fan
ning popular prejudice with nn un
founded appeal.
"Senators who in private conversa
tion never dreamed of attempting to
deceive one another," said Senutor Mc
Cumber, "seem unable to resist the
temptation to take advantage of n prej
udice created bv this deception, nnd.
with studied avoidance of the real and
full truth, give this prejudice nnother
boost "
As a substitute for the Johnson
amendment, Senator MrCumbei urged
his proposed reservation to exclude
British colonies from participating in
the league in .disputes involving the
mother count! y or each other.
league's Foes Urge False Piomise
"Almost every argument made on the
floor of the Senate," said Senator Mc
Cumber, "and every one without excep
tion made to the public by senators op
posed to any league of nations, has given
the Impression to tho people of the
world tlint the council or the assembly,
ns the case might be, w a sort of court
or tiibunal that decides the disputes
between nations,
"I wish the public could just once
full understand, first, that not one cabc
of dispute out of 100 would ever go
to the council or assembly; second, that
even if all other efforts piovlded for the
settlement of disputes should fall, the
only thing submitted to the counc il or
assembly is the fight to investigate and
rcpoit the facts to the public."
Senator McCumber said the aigu
meut of Senator Johnson and other
supporters of the Johnson amendment
ns to Britain's voting power was "too
absuid to be tine."
"Real Facts" iu the Case
The North Dakota senator said thlT
"real facts" rcgaidiug the Icjgue.
w ei c :
"That ncithei the council nor as
sembly is a boaid of arbitration.
"That neither of them decides in
ternational disputes at nil.
"That the oul) jurisdiction which the
council or assembly have over a dispute
between nations is the light to investi
gate ami report what the true facts aie.
and make recommendations.
"That a dispute with a pint of u
nation or empiie is u dispute with the
whole'."
"Gieat Britain cannot and will not
control the vote of Canada," Senator
MeCumbcr said. "I would like to put
this question straight to the Aineiican
people; Has not Canada, u full -governing,
independent nation, earned by
hei sacrifices in bloftd and treusuic
through four )ears of this bloody war,
a right to a seat in the assembly that
would give her voice an effect equaLto
Haiti, Ilejaz, Honduras, Liberia, Nica
ragua, Panama, Peiu, Salvadoe or

IDAHO SENATOR SARCASTIC
By the Associated Press
Washington. Oct. 0. The Senate
jumped into n 'dicussion of the peace
treaty today two hours ahead of Us
st.lle(IlllPi When the session began Sen
ator Hitchcock, of Nebraska, leader of
the administration forces, presented
telegrnm from the Los Angeles branch
of the Lengue to Enforce Peace, say
ing, among other things, that "the peo
ple of Cnllfornln were overwhelmingly
in favor of the leagiye,"
References in the telegrnm to Senator
Johnson, Republican, drew shnrp com
ment from Senator Borah, Itepublican,
Idaho.
"Maybe the senator from California
will be able to recoup his Itepublican
losses In California by Democratic: gains
in Massachusetts," said Senator Borah,
in asking tlint the platform adopted by
the Democrats of Massachusetts, op
posing the league covenant ns framed,
bo put in the record,
"Wh.v not inseit tho platform adopt
ed b) the Massachusetts Republicans,
which might throw light on tin's sub
ject?" snid Senator Nelson, Itepubli
can, of Minnesota
Senator Borali did so and added that
notwithstanding the President's wish,
theie seemed to bo-danger of getting
the league in every political arenn.
Senator Hitchcock declared that in
presenting the telegram it was not his
purpose to show that Scnntor Johnson
had lost personal following, but that
Republicans of high standing nnd every
calling in California, and some of the
Senator's former campaign managers,
"repudiated Senntor Johnson's action
on the league of nations."
