Airplane Accident at Hemp
stead, N. Y., Ends Life
of Resnati's Tutor
Mincoln, X. Y„ July B.—Sergeant
Gianfelice Gino, of the royal Italian
flying corps, was killed in an airplane
accident at Hazelhurst Field yester
day while making a nose dive for the
benefit of the Italian mission to the
United States and Major General
William L Kenly, director of mili
tary aeronautics.
Sergeant Gino, who had been in
structing American aviators here for
sometime, was the tutor of Captain
Antonio Silvio Besnati, the Italian
airman who fell to his death here
last May.
Guiseppe Bevione, chief of the
Italian military mission for aeronau
tics, issued a statement in which he
said that the fall was due to the low
altitude at which Sergeant Gino at
tempted his dangerous feat, "prob
ably through mistake in judgment."
The accident followed a success
ful flight Gino had made in a larger
machine when, with General Kenly
as one of his passengers, he circled
over the field with twenty-one other
planes in battle formation. This was
the third trial flight of the first
American-built Caproni plane.

Senior Senator Calls Agricul
tural Investigations Useless
and Ridiculous
Washington, July 8.—"I have sat
here for the past year and voted for
.more measures that met my disap
proval than I have voted for during
the preceding twenty years as a mem
ber of this body," declared Senator
Penrose, in the course of an attack
upon expenditures proposed by the
Democrats in the Senate on Saturday
night. The Senator, who spoke for
nearly an hour, especially criticised
the Democrats for the wastefulness
of the Agricultural Department. He
referred to investigations proposed
by that repartment as "useless and
of a ridiculous character."
"I hjve had a disposition like most
Senators to let the Administration' go
a certain distance and Mien see how
it would make out, but the absurd
character of these expenditures has
exhausted my patience," said Senator
Penrose. "At this time every dollar
of the citizen's money, taken from
him in taxes or borrowed from him.
should be applied strictly for war
purposes.
"The city of Philadelphia, the third
city in the country,- has been notified
by the Treasury Department, through
the Securities Corporation, that it
shall not be permitted to proceed
with certain improvements. Either
the securities will not be approved
or through priority orders and other
arbitrary powers of these autocratic
minions that have been set over us
in the last year, Philadelphia will
not be permitted to go ahead with
the work."
Senator Ridicules Houston
The Senate was convulsed with
laughter while the Senator sought to
hold up the Department of Agricul
ture to ridicule for asking an appro
priation of almost half a million dol
lars with which to investigate
skunks, squirrels, coyotes, oysters
and cottage cheese.
"I consider that in the general ag
ricultural appropriation bill recently
passed and before the President, and
his alleged supplemental bill for
stimulating agriculture there is more
waste, criminal waste, of the public
funds than in any measure that has '
been pending before the American I
Congress in 100 years," he said.
"I have long considered the bill for
the Agricultural Department approxi
mated about as nearly a condition of
graft, departmental graft, as it is
possible to approximate without
actually Involving the participants in
legal proceedings. We only have to
examine some of thes items to real
ize their wastefulness. There is in j
the two bills—the amount can easily j
be estimated—a number of millions j

GROUSE WILL
BE PROTECTED
State Commission Expected
to Take Action at Its
Meeting Tomorrow
More than state-wide interest at
taches to the meeting of the state
game commission to-morrow because
it is expected that Pennsylvania will
join the ranks of the states which
have moved to prevent the exter
mination of the ruffed grouse by
declaring a closed season. This
movement is general or rather will
be before long as grouse are now
protected in most of the nearby
states and where they are not the
force of sentiment among sportsmen
is against shooting them. Extensive
steps for propaganda have been un
dertaken in New York and half a
dozen other states and more will
Join, while the United States govern
ment authorities are helping. The
whole campaign is part of a plan
worked out by western Pennsylvania
sportsmen who noticed the growing
scarcity of the grouse and the ef
fect of unrestrained hunting and
severe winters.
Members of the commission, who
have been among the men most in
terested, are thoroughly conversant
with the situation throughout the
state and backed up by petitions
from practically every county ex
cept Philadelphia and a few others
where grouse are unknown, will es
tablish a closed season of either one
or two years during which the
grouse will be protected and state
and private enterprise will work to
replenish the great game bird. It is
seldom that as much popular Inter
est gets around in any movement
as the campaign for the grouse and
what is attracting attention is the
first attempt to close the state to
hunting of one kind of game without
an act of Legislature. Under author-
