'THE HOTEL THAT MADEIHORI DINNERS FAMOUS iPlaza Hotel and Gril! On Ocean Front Asbury Park, New Jersey , Headquarters For Auto Tourists European Plan Garage in Connection TUESDAY EVENING, dreds of boy.s who are not mem bers. Deputy commissioners already have familiarized themselves with their duties, and have gotten in close personal touch with the vari ous troops in their jurisdiction. Every indication points to greater ! activity in all the troop organiza ' tions. i Through the co-operation of the | commissioners with Scout Execu : tive J. Fredrick Virgin, Commis , sioner German sees a promising fu ture for the scout movement in this I city. Already headquarters in the ! Calder building sees an awakening interest among the scouts in the greater number who are taking off their various scout examinations as well as the applications that are , constantly coming in from boys who are desirous of enrolling themselves in the organization. SEEK THE CAUSE OF BLIMP'S FALL [Continued from First Page.] criminal carelessness should be filed against them. Among those detained are Jack Boettner, pilot of the dirigible, who escaped by jumping with a para chute, and W. C. Young, in charge of the aeronautic department of the Goodyear company. Escape by .Tumping Of the eleven dead, nine were employes of the bank and two were passengers in the air service. Five persons were in the airship at the time of the accident and three es caped. John J. Mitchell, president of the bank, said he would have legal rep resentatives at the investigation to day to take steps to prevent any accident of this kind in the future. "It is for the safety of the people," he said. "I will present this mat ter before the bankers' committee and other interests to see if some step cannot be taken to prevent such accidents. X do not think any flying should be done over a large city unless really necessary." The Corporation Council to-day began the work of drafting an ordi nance regulating the operation of aircraft above the city. Major Clarence Maranville, chief j of the Army aircraft division at Akron Field, who witnessed the ac cident, has sent a report to the War Department at Washington. Untried Devices Charges that several devices used on the giant blimp were virtually untried and were used for the first time on this type of airvraft will be made the subject of rigid inquiry by officials. One of these devices was a rotary motor which was loaned for the j purpose by Major Maranville, who declared that while there was dan ger of tire in its use, he believed every necessary precaution had { been taken to prevent an accident. ; Another device said to have been used for the first time on a blimp | was a number of silk balloonettes ; attached to the main body and Ma- j jor Maranville says the friction of j these balloonettes against the silk j sides of the structure may have ; been responsible for the accident. J Coroner Peter M. Hoffman and State's Attornew Hoyne declared ; that it was probable that several ' officials of the Chicago office of the j Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company | would be taken into custody before J the end of the day. Most of the dead were employes ! of the bank, trapped and burned to 1 death in a fire caused by the ex plosion of the balloon's gasoline tanks as they hit the floor of the bank rotunda where more than 200 bookkeepers and clerks, nearly all . girls, were working. The balloon, owned by the Good year Tire and Rubber Company of Akron, Ohio, had been flying above the city for several hours when the i accident occurred. When approximately 500 feet above the hank a spurt of flame was seen to shoot from the top of the gas bag near the center of the air craft. The crowds gathered on the streets to watch the flight saw the machine buckle and quiver as it j started on Its fatal plunge. Four of its occupants Jumped, and two landed safely in the streets as the blimp, a ball of flame, struck ; the roof of the bank with a crash ; audible throughout the downtown ; district. There was nothing to warn the j hundreds of employes of the lnsti- ! tution of the coming tragedy. A j shadow passed over the marble ! rotunda, where they were busy, and a crash followed. The bank's closing hour for pat- | rons had passed but the clerks were : still at work in various depart- ; ments. Breaking through the iron sup ports holding the glass overhead, the fusilage of the balloon with two heavy rotary engines and several | gasoline tanks smashed to the floor. , Panic Follows Clash Instantly the tanks exploded, j scattering a wave of flaming gaso- | line over the workers for a radius ; of fifty feet. A panic ensued. There were only two exits from the wire ! cage and through them men and girls with clothing flaming fought their way. Girls on the second floor ran screaming to the windows and several jumped to the street. In an instant the marble rotunda was cleared except for the dead, whose bodies were buried under the mass of debris and the dying, who crawled away from the scorching fire, their clothes burning off. The intense heat made rescue work difficult and it was thirty min utes before the bodies under craft's fusilage could be dragged out. They were burned beyond recognition. Cause of Fire Unknown The cause of the fire which brough the flaming gas bag down Is not definitely known. None of the crew could ascribe a definite reason. Two theories were offered, how ever. One was that a spark from the rotary motors set the gas afire. | The other was that the balloon was j overcharged and the sun's rays caused it to expand and burst, the fire following the contact of the i gas with sparks in the motors. When Jack Boettner, an employe of the Rubber Company and pilot of the craft, saw the flicker of flame he shouted a warning to the other passengers and jumped from the , fusilage. All were protected by parachutes attached to their bodies by belts. Henry Weaver and Harry Wack- i er. mechanicians, followed Boettner. E. H. Norton, a photographer for a morning newspaper, was the last to leap. The fifth man. Earl H. Davenport, publicity agent for an amusement park where the balloon has its hangar, did not get out His body struck the roof of the bank and burned to a crisp. Wea ver's parachute was ablaze and he was overtaken by the flaming bal loon and carried down to death. Boettner and Wacker landed practically unhurt. Norton suffered broken legs and severe internal In juries. The others dead were crushed and burned in the rotunda of the bank. The central portion of the bank was wrecked and It was an hour before the fire could be extin guished. Cumberland Valley News "DINTY MOORE" COMES TO TOWN Tiny White Poodle Weighs One Pound and Is Owned by Mechanicskurg Man Moo.haniosbnrg, Pa., July 21. "Dinty Moore" came to Mechanics burg on Saturday from Philadelphia, and he was forty hours on the way, but he finally reached his new home at Ira Springer's on East Portland street, where a warm welcome awaited him! But there, we are getting ahead of the tale! Properly speaking, we should say narrative, but it really is a tale as there is a dog attached to it, for—oh yes, we almost forgot to mention the fact that "Dinty" is a tiny, fleecy, white poodle dog. He resembles nothing so much as the toy white lambs the kiddies pull around on the end of a string, and weighs just one pound. In fact, a pound of butter has nothing on "Dinty" for both are of a size and boar marked resemblance. His new master. Mr. Springer, lost a pet poodle about a month ago when an automobile ran him down. Now Dinty comes to take the place of the ''ft, and has made a wonder ful hit, not only with his master, but all who see the little, white bunch. Mr. Springer, by the way. who nefcVT' 1 fondneas for flowers and pets had a regular show garden at sand DnWl 8 spril ' K " whcn " thou sand tulip blooms, attracted people trom all over town.

Rainy Season in Franklin Damages Grain and Fruit Waynesboro, Pa., July 22.—Con tinued rainy season since the tiist week in July, with scarcely a day's intermission, has had a damaging eltect on more things than picnics and baseball. It has held up the farmers in their manure-hauling and corn plowing, and in some cases their wheat storing, some whole fields being still in shock. The corn has shot up and is in tassle in most of the fields and the ears are begin ning to shoot. Along wtth the up ward-bound of the corn has gone a proportionate growth of the weeds and grass. The wet weather has forbidden cultivation and the result is that the weeds have gotten near ly as tall as the corn and much thicker on the ground. More serious damage has been done to the fruit. The rains and damp condition of the orchards have enabled various varities of fungi to develop and fasten on the fruit. The same conditions have enabled all manner of tree and fruit pests to propagate and get In their destructive work. Soldiers Guests of Women's Club at Chautauqua Tent Meolinniosburg, Pa., July 22.

Soldier Not Heard From For Year Is Reported Dead Carlisle, Pu., July 22.—Among the , names of the men "Killed and died j of disease," that appeared on the 1 official casualty list received at this j office to-day appeared that of Melvin j E. Stambaugh. Further information received from j the family of the young man dis- ! closed the fact that not since July j have they received any letter from i him. For twelve long months the | father, brothers and sisters waited j anxiously for word. Was he wounded, I or killed or a prisoner or was it only j Indifference? The father, Emanuel E. Stam- j baugh, who resides on R. D. 7, near [ Middlesex, received the official tele- ! gram from the Adjutant General on Wednesday announcing the death of , his son, but this message simply i stated that the young man was dead and that the date and cause of death i undei termined. This increased the j uncertainty that as the months pass j by may become more mysterious I rather than become clarified.
