Washington, ' Feb. '2. Edward II.

from injuries received In the Knicker

Although Mr. Shaughncssy's injuries
wbrc known te be of n critical nature
his condition hed shown improvement
up te yesterday and his denth was un
expected. Attending physicians at the
army hospital te which Mr. Shaugh

the wreckage of the motien-nlcture the
atre several hours after the collapse of

fatalities, said his death followed a
sudden heart collapse shortly nftcr raid
nignt. This was preceded, they said, by de
velopment of internal complications late
yesterday. Mr. Shaughnessy suffered a
broken pelvis and ether-Injuries in the
accident, but for several days had
shown a resistive power which made
physicians hopeful of Ids ultimate re
covery. . Mr. Shaughncsiy's wife rind his tcn-ycar-eld
daughter Ruth, both of whom
arc new recovering from Injuries re

been Informed of his denth nt nn early
hour today. They are being treated
at another hospital, the daughter hav

Shaughnessy Is suffering from n frac

President Harding had shown con

condition, and uuring the llrst days
after the accident had received encour
aging reports of it through Brigadier
General Sawyer, the President's per
sonal physician, whom he had sent te
the hospital te make direct inquiry.

Contlnefd from Pnre One
of large permanent value te the city
after the fair Is ever. The accessibil
ity of the location would add1 a material
percentage te the income of the fair,
through 'admissions and the value of
concessions, ns compared .with sites less
centrnlly situated.
Beauty Ready at Hand
"Frem the esthetic standpoint the
location would make possible the utili
zation of the most beautiful park devel
opment in this country, if net lu the
world. The proper use of portions of
the Pnrkwey would forward construc
tion of the great permanent and needed
structure planned for that magnificent
thoroughfare, and would likely leave it
be developed as te have become n com
petitor in beauty and dignity wit), the
Champs Elywcs in Paris, new gencrnlly
recognized ns the most beautiful exist
ing boulevard. -1"
"Further, the Art Gallery, National
Government and State buildings, nnd
ether permanent structures contemplated
for' the Parkway, which can be com
pleted and adapted for the Exposition,
may be mnde te serve ns n method of
reducing the number of temporary
structures, ns they represent aa Impor
tant amount of fleer space. .
"This site would naturally have
entrances which make easy access from
the south nnd west portions of the city,
from West Philadelphia, and from
North Philadelphia; and the Park being
a seuicc of rightful pride and interest
te nil of the people of the city, its
acceptance as the site should result In
all sections of the city joining in the
enterprise with equal enthusiasm and
civic pride. With regard te housing
nnd cnrlng for visitors, the site has been
ranked first, and it is acceptable from
the standpoint of transportation, water
supply, sewage disposal, comfort,
health, etc.
"Destruction of felinge, interrupted
public use of the Pnrk. nnd interfer
ence with the regular nvenues of city
travel have been neintcd te. and they
with ether disadvantages which have
been suggested, have been given careful
consideration by the ceniiniyce.
Determine Boundaries Later
"The specification given in the reso
lution, quoted earlier, concerning ter
ritory within the limitations of which
the exposition may be placed, is made
bread, as the specific boundaries of the
fair must be determined when the
architectural und lahdscnpc plans are
prepared, and theso responsible there
for should, of course, h'nve ' ns large
leeway ns possible.
"Further, the exposition engineers
nnd architects should be in a position
te avoid plufiiig excessive expense upon
the fnlr prejec in the form of sewer
age development, covering nnd electri
fying ruilrends, condemnation of val
uable property, etc.
"However, there nre improvements
nleng the Schuylkill, contiguous te the
territory, proposed, involving the con
demnation of land nnd improved sew
ernge disposal, which, when accem
plished, uiisht be of grent advantage te
both the city and the exposition. Their
.prompt undertaking bj the city Is sub
mitted for the consideration of the mu
nicipal authorities.
"Although request was made for rec
ommendations concerning sites, the
consideration of this problem hns of ne
cessity invehed n study of the proB preB
nble fentures and gencrnl scope of the
exposition. The results of this study
ure te be found among the appendices,
but the following suggestions are sub
mitted here for consideration in connec
tion with the site lcceinmciideil by the
committee te be most desirable.
Twe Outstanding Features
"Thus, theie nre two elements of na
tional and International activity, of
much importance, which ure net from
the architectural or physical standpoints
readily adapted te the central group of
an International exposition, but which,
It is believed, should be developed ns
co-erdlnnte exhibits. These are, an ex
hibit dealing with the practice and
problems of murine trnnkiinri.iil.in .,,!
activities, nnd nuether for showing ng-
V. processes mm methods.
It is suggested by the committee
that nn exhibit Including possibly full
sized beats equipped for various types
et murine service, und ether large
marine exhibits, may be located te nd nd
viintnge nt or near the Philadelphia
Navy an nt League Islund. It is
probable the United States Govern Gevern
iiiciit. or the United Stntes Shipping
Beard, would undertake le carry
through a .project of this kind. Un
doubtedly a great proportion of our
American visitors attending the fnlr
would welcome the opportunity te visit
such It disemy, n.. ..ll ,.., i, v
Urtl. where n nuynl exhibit nlse could
be included. This feature would greatly
aid the Natien ,,, lUc development of
its merchant marine.
The nif rlrnlf nt-ii I nrMM, ...,
should be a working educntlenal display
of agricultural methods, as distinguished
from the exhibit nf nn.inii..f ...,i
Us, which doubtless will be within the
........ ii siuups. n might include
dairying, barns, ngrlculturni apparatus
In actunl operation en the srrnmul in.
i Hiding numerous contests of ' Interest ;
hesteck of nil varieties; plots devoted
te the growth of feed products of this
and ether countries, with which the
people are net commonly ncqunlnted,
etc.
"It Is the expectation of the Exccu-tive-
(emiiiitt.ee te ngree upon a site
within the next two weeks." the Majer
said. 'Ne definite site will be ugreed
upon until after the public hearings.

The southern sites, plnced third by
the report, nre discussed as follews:
"The southern sites nre In a region
fitted te become n highly developed nnd
valuable part of the city. They hnve
many ndventngc.s, but these nre offset
by certain conditions, having tt de with
the time set for and the character of
the exposition, which hnve caused the
committee te rate them in the third
group. They Include two sites nenr
League Island and the United Stntes
Shipping Beard slteff, the Fortieth ward
und the Cnnnenball farm.
"The southern League Island Pnrk
site hns the grent ndvnntnge of ljlng

i which itself is n national attraction of
I great value, and this site hns a mng-

League Island site Is net fnr removed
from the center of the city nnd could
be renrhed from nil qunrters.
"All these southern sites, however,
would require Inrgc sums for grading te
prepare them for the specific needs of
the exposition nnd, In connection with
this, much time, needed for actual con
struction, would be required te get the
ground Inte condition te begin opera
