Long Island, yesterday, where he was
ir. training as a member of the avia

tripped and plunged headlong into
the propeller. Xlathieu picked up
his unconscious pupil and seating
him in the machine flew with him to
a hangar. An army ambulance then
conveyed Carruthers to Nassau Hos
pital, where he died a few minutes
later.
Carruthers was 30 years old and is
survived by a widow and two chil
dren. who reside at Merion, a suburb
of Philadelphia.

or has already been placed for the
summer. There are four times as
many positions for the graduating
class as there are lads to graduate
Professor Wallize also lias calls for
alumni that he is unable to fill.
One of thq big pieces of work done
by the bureau, has been the securing
of employment during the summer

the summer are: Jay D. Gehrett,
Michael Wevodau, Jerry Frock, Gil

ON HOTEL SITE
Local Man Will Do Work;
Saloonkeeper Tries to
Hold Up Operations
E. A. Johnson, superintendent of
construction for the Nelson-Lewin
Company, which is building the
Penn-Harris hotel tit Third and Wal
nut streets, stated to-day that the
contract for excavation had been
awarded to W. H. Murphy, of 2100
State street. This excavation will
embrace 5,000 cubic yards, and it
Is expected the preliminary oper
ations this week will make possi
ble the installation of a Riant steam
shovel next Monday.
The property was being enclosed
to-day by a board fence which will
be displaced after the excavation
shall have been completed by side
walk overhead structures In Third
and Walnut streets, which will per
mit free use of the sidewalks In
both streets.

Before evening the last of the bis
billboards will have been removed
and President Wallower, of the
hotel company, addressed a com
munication to the Western Union
Telegraph Company this morning
requesting the removal of a large
pole at the Strawberry avenue side
of the property which will seriously
interfere with the passage of the
trucks in removing dirt and deliv
ering building materials. It is be
lieved all the publfc utility corpor
ations will co-operate in every way
possible so that overhead wires and
poles may not interfere with the
building operations of appearance of
the hotel.
Causing Trouble
W. S. McKay, proprietor of a sa
loon at 306 Strawberry avenue,
which occupies a small brick build
ing owned by the hotel company,
threatens to Rive the hotel corpora
tibn trouble. In court to-day a case
in ejectment was argued and it is
the opinion of lawyers that McKay
has no standing whatever in his con
tention. He was notified to vacate
months ago, but pending a final
contract for the construction of the
hotel was permitted to remain a ten
ant at will without rental. In the
February license court he is said to
have applied for a license against
the advice of his counsel, and now
claims reimbursement. For a time
he ceased selling liquor, but later re
sumed business at his own risk.
Ilefore Court
Argument in the ejectment proceed
ings against \V. S. McKay, proprietor
of the McKay Hotel, 306 Strawberry
street, was expected to be started in
court late this afternoon. Proceedings
have been stayed pending the motion
of counsel for Mr. McKay for a rule
to open tlie judgment In ejectment.
The McKay property is on part of the
new hotel site.

division points for transcontinental air service in this country, the same
as there are now division points for the railroads. We are going to
