COLONEL HOPS

(Continued from Page One.)
ar.y possible loss of confidence that
may have resulted from his expe
rience.
Miss Morrow drove the automo
bile back to the city, although the
colonel had handled it on the tr.p
to the field, showing as much one
handed deftness with the land ma
chine as he did with the airplane.
The world that loves a lover was
thrilled bv the superb airmanship
and gallantry- of Colonel Lind
bergh. He exhibited those traits in
saving his fiancee. Miss Morrow,
and himself from serious injury, or
worse, yesterday when their tliree
hour nicuic air jaunt ended in a
crash.
Colonel Lindbergh todav had the
pa;n ctf a wrenched shoulder and a
badly damaged airplane to remind
him of the narrowness of their es
cape. Miss Morrow fared better.
I'ses Ud Gasoline
After leaving Valbuena air field
yesterday with a small bag packed
with sandwiches. Colonel Lindbergh
and Miss Morrow flew to a nearby
spot for a picnic lunch. In the
take-off for the return trip the
airplane lost its right wheel—prob
ably. it is now believed, because a
mechanic greasing it had failed to
refasten the cotton key which held
it to the axle.
When he was flying back to Val
buena field Colonel Lindbergh’s
thoughts were on his predicament,
and how best to emerge from it.
Finally he reached over to Miss
Morrow, seated at his side, and told
her. above the roar of the motor,
they probably would turn over
when thev landed.
He showed her how to take th i ]
cushions from the Diane’s seats -»n I
pack them around her bodv. with ]
others about her head so that the !
shock of the crash would be less
ened. Then, to guard against ex
plosion of the gasoline when the
plane turned over he maneuvered
back and forth over the field untill
all but the dregs in the tank were
exhausted.
He waved to armv mechanics and
officers below, pointing to his dam
aged landing gear, and then shot
out of space onto the land, light
ing gracefully on one wheel and the
tail skid. It seemed for a moment
the plane would come to rest with
out mishap, but the loose end of
the axle struck the ground and it
careened forward, turning over, i
first on its nose and then on its 1
back.
Field attendants helped the avia- I
tor and Miss Morrow-, obviously
badly frightened, through its win
dows to the ground. His first words
turning to her were. ‘ Are you all
right?”
At the Morrow home Dr. Sydney!
Unfelder discovered the colonel’s ■
shoulder was dislocated. An effort j
was made to administer an anaes
thetic at the Morrow home, but
when this failed the aviator was!
taken to the Ladv Cowdray hos- j
pital for the operation.
View Wrecked Plane
Within two hours he emerged,!
his right arm and shoulder band
aged heavily and shrouded in a
gray overcoat, and insisted on driv
ing an automobile w-ith Miss Mor
row and her sister Elizabeth to
Valbuena Field to inspect his plane
and the damage done to it.
The sight of the plane, propeller 1
twisted, one wing smashed, and
landing gear gone, brought a frown
to his face. Then he smiled, gave
some instructions looking to its re
pair. and brushing aside would-be
questioners, went back to the em
bassy.
The plane which crashed was the
four-passenger Travelair mono

last week bv the aviator for his
flight here to visit his fiancee. At
the field it was believed repairs
could be made without too great
difficulty.

neers stated. The 8-foot fence
bears many strands of heavy wire
with long barbs. Behind this first
line of defense reposes an array of
huge stumps, evidently removed
from some land clearing rubbish
heap.
"That barricade is almost as ef
fective as those we encountered in
irent of the German lines in
France.*’ one of the war veterans
of the engineers department said.
It is understood that the land to
the west of the barricade belongs
to the American Rio Grande Land
& Irrigation Co., of Mercedes, and is
believed to have been leased for
grazing purposes. One of the engi
neers asserted that when he sur
veyed the barricade it was garri
soned by a Brahma bull which paw
ed the concrete and acted decidedly
belligerent. This engineer, who was
inspecting flood control work, was:
compelled to make a detour of 12
miles to reach his destination.
The Cambcs-Santa Rosa highway
to the Hidalgo county line was com
pleted last week, but the barricaded
section Imd been open several
weeks. The highway was designed
to connect with the Hidalgo county
system paralleling the Southern Pa
cific railroad to Edinburg, but a
three-mile gap in the Hidalgo sys
tem from the Mercedes base line,
across the north flood way to a junc
tiontion with the Cameron county :
highway has never been completed.

had told Petty that the hotel was
protected by me against dry raid
ers,” Creager continued. "Such
herese.y teslmony, twice removed
would not be admited as evidence
by a justice of the peace anywhere
in the United States.
Says Charges False
“I do not recall ever having seen
or previously heard of P. V. Petty, i
who according to Hill acted as in -
termediary in transmitting thin
scandalous matter from the un
named bell boy to Hill.
“Testimony of this character
should not be dignified by reply,
but since this committee has seen
fit to admit it In its records. I
now say to you gentlemen that '
this scandalous and malicious piec.* I
of gossip is false In Its entirety. I
have never directly or indirectly
sought to ‘protect’ any hotel in th’
state of Texas or elsewhere against i
raids by prohibition enforcement
officials or others.
"Hill further testified that it was
the 'understanding' that each of
fice holder paid to the Texas re
publican state organization ten
per cent of his salary and that it
was the general understanding
that federal offices were for sale
in Texas. These statements are as
malacious and false and slanderous
as the balance of his testimony.
"In 1921 I became the republi
can state chairman cf the state of .
Texas. In 1923 on the death of
Hpn. H. P. McGregor, of Houston. I
became a member of the renubll- j
can national committee for Texas,
which position I still hold. I now ,
state that during this approximate
ly seven year period, no indorse
ment by me or by any other re
sponsible head of th- organization
in Texa.;. or any individual for anv
office has ever been given consid
eration in any manner, dlr’ctly or
indirectly, unon the individual In
dorsed contributing financially to
ary individual or to any political
organization "
Continuing. Creager said: "I slate
that during this period no federal or
other officeholder in Texas has
been assessed’ ten per cent, or any
other part of his or her salary by |
roe or by any other responsible bead
or leader of the organization m
Texas. I slate that dol ing this pc- j
riod neither I nor any other respan- j
sible head of the organization in
Texas have sought to compel any
office holder to contribute funds to
any person or to any political or
ganization under the threat, direct.
or implied, that the individual could j
not hold his office or could not be
reappointed in the event he did not
contribute.
Says Wurzbaeh Unfit
Taking up testimony of Reprc-1
sentative Wurzoach, Creager said,
he regarded him "as a man unfit to j
be m congress. ’
* Mr. Wurzbach’s statement before !
thif committee,’ he said, "with ref
erence to the bill he caused to be
introduced in the Texas legislature!
seeking to change the methods of |
electing delegates to national con- i
ventton . is grossly misleading.
"There is no possible quastion but i
that he sought to bring about this |
change in the hop? that thereby h® ]
might deleat the election of Hoover
delegates from Texas to the last re
publican national convention”
Creager denied that state repub
lican content tons are held princi
pally by tne office holders in the
etate. a charge he said Wurzbaeh
had made.
"Wurzbaeh* attempted analysis
and criticism of the contributions to
the headquarters funds is unfair
and misleading." he continued.
"There are more than 11.000 federal
employ#* In Texas. A great many
more than that have held federal
offices in Texas during the last
seven end one-half years. Yet.
during this entire period, only 849
employes of the federal government
eTer contributed a note. During the

contributed notes to the fund.
