Y. DIE AS TOURIST PLANE SINKS Edwin F. Atkins, Jr., Two Children and Governess Are Killed Dur- ing a Trip to Havana. ~ Key West, Fla.-Four New Yorkers lost their Mves when the flying boat Columbus, speeding through the air from this city to Havana, Cubs, crashed into the sea and sank twenty miles off Havana. ' 4 The dead are Edwin F. Atkins, Jr., operator of extensive Cuban sugar plentations, son of the former chair- man of the board of directors of the American Sugar Refining Company, well known both in New York and Cuba; his two children, ©. F. 34 and David, and Grace McDonald, gover ness for the Atkins family. Captain John Albury of the ferry» boat Flagler saw the seaplane fall when 're was about three-fourths of a mile distant and immediately turn- ec his ship toward it. The seas were tempts had to be made before &a life- boat could be lowered. Mr. Atkins and Miss McDonald were swopt off the wreckage to which they were clinging before the lifebort could reach them, The two children who were asleap in the cabin are believed to have been killed Instantly when the wreckage was lifted to the top of a huge wave and catapulted Into the middle of the next in a nose dive. \We were flying about 200 feet In the air at the rate of sixty-five miles an hour when I noticed that the on- gine on the right side of the plane was missing,\ Pilot Miller said.. \I immediately attempted to adjust it, but couldn't, and, reducing the speed, forced a landing. \The seas were running vory high, waves fifteen or twenty feot in height leaping up. We hit on the top of one wave and then went into the middle of the next ome, nose frst The pas- sengers opened the cockpit of the cabin and came out, except the two Atkins children, who wore asleop at the time and evidently were stunned and killed instantly by the impact with the wave.\ Bird Migration. In their spring and fall migrations some birds travel by day, but most of them fly during the night. Day tot grants Include ducks and geese (which also fiy by night), hawks, swallows, the nighthawk and the chimoey swift. The last two, combining business and pleas ure, cateh their morning and evening meal during the zig-zag flight that tends in the desired direction. The dally advance of such migrants covers only a few miles, and when a large body of water is encountered they pass around rather than across It. The night migrants Include all the great families of warblers, thrushes, fiy- catchers, . vireos, | orloles, | tanagers, shorebirds and most of the sparrows. They ususily begin their flight soon after dark and end it before dawn and go farther before than after midnight. indian 'Bleight-of-Hand Performers, The old Indian medicine men were in many Instances clever sleight-of- hand performers. A very common trick among Indian charlatans was to pretend to suck foreign bodfes, such as stones, out of the bodies of their patients, Records of this are found among many tribes from the lowest In culture to the highest, even among the Aztecs, A Hidatsa res!ding in Dakota In 1885 wis known by the name of Cherry-4n- the-mouth, because be bad a trick of producing from his mouth st any sea- son what seemed to be fresh wild cherrfes.

Berlin-Borlin's national day of mourning passed off without disorder, The'iargest crowd of the day's dem» onstration -against the French Rubr occupation was that of the bourgeois parties in front of the Reichstag, around the statue of Blamarck. There were 200,000 in the crowd. There was a brief official program beginning | with the | singing | of \Deutschland Ueber Alles.\ As the last speaker urged the peo- ple to go home quietly, there was a dramatic moment. A septuagenarian, veteran of the Franco-Prussian war forced his way to the speakers' stand and made an impassioned appeal of \Down with the treaty.\ The great crowd with one impulse burst into singing the \Watch on the Rhine\ and set up a shout for Chan- cellor Cuno. The shouts for the chan- cellor lasted for half anhour, but he did not appear. Flags at halt-mast all over the city gave a distinct impression of a funoral. The Parisplats entrance and Bran- denburg gate were barred to traffic all dey as a measure of safety for the French embassy. Berlin-Great - demonstrations | of protest against the French opupation of the Rubr took place here, There were no untoward incidents. The crowds were composed of mid- dle class people, dressed in their Sun- day best. The speeches were ac- claimed with proletarian enthusiasm. \Die Wacht am Rhine\ and \Deutsch land Ueber Alloa\ were repeatedly sung, amid crles of \Down with France.\ Resolutions . of - protest against the French occupation were carried by heclamation.

But Sambo to mained cold on the proposition. \Ah see ho aln't dald,\ said Sambo. \But be kain't run, an' Ab done wants a mule os runs.\ Mose, thus challenged, with a vigor ous kick so energized the mule that away It went, running down the street, with marvelous speed. But Sam's delight at the activity of the mule was shortlived, for bang, the mule ran head-on into a tree. \Fo' de lord,\ exclaimed Sam, \he ain't dald; he kin run, but be's blind. Ab, doan' wan no blind mule.\ \What's dot you say?\ cried Mose. \You all calls a mule like dat blind? Why, lordy, lordy, boy, dat mule ain't blind.

PRIZE BULL SLAUGHTERED Junior Project Bull Won by Otsego County for Three Years. Two thousand Otsego county boys and girls are now in mouthing over the deth of their own purebred Hol- stein Freision bull, Prince Alcartra Segis No. 861,973. Prince was won by the Junior Project workers of the county at the-State fair in three sur- cessive years and now that highly bred. bull is mourned by more humans than many human princes. Bebind him he leaves many sons and daughters who give promise of making him famous as one of the beat bulls of the breed. They may be found on farms through- out the county. Princg was born February 28, 1918. His dam produced 95.32 pounds of butter in one week and he was highly bred on both sides. His site was King Segis Alcartra Spoffard, His great grandam was May Echo, the founder of the May Echo family. Prince has been an incentive to all project workers and these boys and girls will miss him greatly. The bull reacted to tuberculosis and although the Junior Extension leaders tried to find a place where he could be kent under the Bang system, no one could be found who would take the responsibility. The result was that be was slaughtered at Cooperstown on Saturday, January 20. In 1920 the State Bankers' associa- tion decided that Junior Project work was worthy of their backing. At that time they decided to award each year a pure bred bull (Prince) to be held by the county winning the bull for one year. If any county should win the bull three times it was to become the permanent possession of that county. Otsego county attained this goal at the State fair in 1922. Clarke A.

Green, himself falling into an adjacent tub, then laid Chase down upon the ice and snow and went into the house not being clear as to the length of the time that elapsed, Green went out and brought what was doubtless the lifeless body of Chase into the house and laid it in front of the stove. Members of the party then observ- ing' that the body was cold, suggested that something should be done to \warm him up.' \Ican warm him up,'' declared Green according to the testimony, He then took the tea- kettle from the stove and poured its contents over 'the chest of Chase.

Cecil Green later an- nounced that Chase ought to have another drink and carried his body out into the living room. After Chase had | partaken | again - Cecil Green carried him upstairs and placed him in bed with _ Dingham. | Sometime afterwards, - Cecil Green' again an- nounced that Chase should drink again and carried down. When starting to carry him back upstaire again it was said that Green declared ''Chase, you ought to have a bath.\ He then carried him out to the water tub with the fatal result as stated above.
