Pilot, Killed in Fatal
Aircrash, Called "Unfit"
Fobs, Who Lost Life at Hatboro-Field, Was
Physically Below Standard, Experts Tell
Coroner's Jury Had Little Experience
Testimony that Conrad M. Poss,
the nviator who was killed Inst Sunday
nt llatboro with a womnn nnd her
child, was not n fit man to operate an
airplane was the outstanding feature
at the opening of the Coroner's inquest
into the accident this morning.
The chief witness was Wilnuir Itos.s,
who was n substitute mechanic for
Prank (inrbnnl, Foss' regular assistant.
Koss gnvo a vivid description of the
accident, using a sheet of pnper to il
lustrate the way the plane fell. He
also said that he had seen Foss in live
lllgltts and that In his -opinion, despite
the fact that Foss claimed to have hnd
sixty hours' experience in the nir, he
did not consider him u reliable nlr
pilot.
Under questioning, Koss said that he
would not ride with Foss, although he
had intended to take a chance with him
last Monday, one day after the neeident.
Ho snid that an experienced aviator
would make a smooth landing, where
as Foss always bounced when he came
down.
Saw Fatal Accident
He saw the accident nnd gave as his
opinl-n that Foss hnd attempted to
make a turn ns he npprouched tho land
ing field. He said it looked ns though
the plane slipped when It was on U
right bnhk and went Into u noxo dive.
He snid it looked as though Foss hod
lost his Hying speed just ns he tried to
trfakc the hank.

where they want to nid the police.

leaped out and coveicd him with n
volvers. The two bandits backed the
night mnn into the garage and put him
in a tourins car with the usual thients
about giving nn alarm.
Another Man Arrives
Just nsXJrny had settled back in the
car under the threatening muzzles of
the pistols. Max Leiberwllz. 11 produce
dealer. .TT14 CheMnut street, drove up
to the front of tiic garage with Ins
truck. Failing to rouse the night man
with shouts, he went inside to look tor
' He was met l the same two bandits
nnd forced to lake a seat in another
truck. The two men then Jumped in

out to investigate.
After a futile search for evidence. De
tective Thomas returned to the Mation
about 0 o'clock, .lust as he walked in

men said that It would be. A search
if l he car disclosed the luct that a
llve-gallon can of alcohol had been left
hind by the thieves in the r llight.
It la the opinion of the police that
tho car was merely used to transport
some liquor, and that the one can was
let b'lilwl in the lmilo of the baud Is
o get away. There were no robberies
of liquor reported in that sec on of the
c'ltv so the police do not Ihink that
the 'men Involved had used the car for

the police mi excellent description of
them. Arrests nre expected todny.

16TH INFANTRY MEMBERS
AWAIT WORD TO ENTRAIN
Men of the Twenty-sixth United
States Infantry, en route from Camp
Dix lo the West Virginia coal fields,
passed through Philadelphia shortly
nftcr noon today on three long troop
trains.
The Sixteenth Tnfnntry, ordered to
hold itself lu readiness to follow tie1
Twenty-sixth to the scene of riotous
fighting between miners nnd mine
guards sworn In ns deputies, is still
waiting at Camp Dix for the word to
entrain. ,
When the first of the three sections
of troop trains paused for half an hour
lit Thirty-second street nnd (Slrnril ave.
nue, this city got its first glimpse since
the war of soldiers armed and ready foi
battle.
Tho men of the First Hattnlian, under
Captain Hurt. aiul with their com
manding officer, Colonel C. C. Ander
son, riding in the. train with them,
did not seem to feel thut they were
going into battle, however.
It was a few minutes after 12 o'clock
when the first long train stopped nt
what Is known as "X. It. Station," at
Thirty-second street untl (iirnril live
nii.e overlooking the Zological Oar
dens. As the long train came to a grinding
Mop a youngster on the station plat
form shouted gleefully: "Whcte Is the
war?"
Not a War, Hul aiifKu'iirsion
"This ain't no war." yelled 'one of
the Infantrymen who " had thrust 11
leather-skinned face out of the window,
"tills is only a plensant excursion."
Thut evidently was the spirit in which
the veterans of the Twenty-sixth, most
ot them overseas men who hail fought
In the famous First Division, viewed
their trip into the West Virginia moun
tains to put down the oiltbicak of law
lessness there.
The train was stationary at the !i
rcrd avenue station for ueail.x half an
hour. Pari of the lime the long train
rested on the Cirard avenue bridge, and
the men griiteful'y opened the collar" of
the heavy khaki shirts to the river
breeze
It was noon, nn dlhe soldiers were
hungry. Most of their attention wns
fixed on the two cook cars freight cars
in which camp stoves had been set up
- and the old familiar "When do w'e
cut"? was heard up nnd down the line
of coaches,
Many of the men have provided I hem
selves with lunch and they stayed their
Jiitnder while they waited the pleasuie
ol the company cooks by munching
sandwiches and large segments of pie.
The first train wns made up of tliiity
oue cars. First came ten "tints" on
v hich had been loaded camp kitchens,
the long and menacing French "7."s"
which the regiment entries as pail ol
its equipment, baggage wagons, ammu
nition carts and other heav) impedi
menta. Jlehlud the flat cars were five horse
cars, laden with horses ifnd mule, to
draw the guns, caissons and baggage
wagons, and then the nine passenger
cars in which the officers and enlisted
men rode. The two kitchen cars fol
lowed, and then four freight cms filled
with miscellaneous dunnage.
Kwliange Greetings
The nun, who had le't DK In serious
tpiitl, were in a hilarious good humor
by the time Philadelphia wus icachcd.
They exchanged greetings with Park
plcnlckets from the enr windows, and
bawled at small craft on the liver.
The U"nin had barely halted when
some one caught a glimpse of the open
air nulinnl pens of the o, and in the
next ft w minuteM the whole train was
a chorus of grunts, roars and baihs,
