Y., Nov. 28.—UP)—The largest airplane ever constructed In this country and two residences were in ashes today be cause of a crash. Two other houses were damaged. The 30-passenger Fokker air ; transport, with only two of its four ! motors functioning, ended an errat ; ic half mile flight from Roosevelt Field yesterday by crashing into the I aide of a dwelling in Carle place, I near here, setting fire to the plane and two of the houses. The plane s only occupants. 8. If. Boggs, pilot, an engineering in structor for the department or ag ! ricultijre on leave of absence, and Harry MacDonald, mechanic, es caped with minor injuries. The plane was unable to rise more than 20 feet and in its half mile flight had cut down two telegraph poles, stripped a radio aerial from one house, a chimney from another, a chimney and part of the roof from a third and crashed broadside into a fourth. Although a dozen children were playing in the village street when the plane crashed, none was injur ed. A 2-year-old child asleep on ! the second floor of one of the 1 houses that took fire was rescued by its mother just as the flames were reaching its crib. Boggs at Nassau hospital said only three of the plane's motors were working when it took off, and as the plane reached an altitude of 20 feet another of its motors stopped. He attempted to make a landing in a small field, but was unable to do so. When the plane crashed, Boggs and MacDonald were tossed out. Both managed to crawl far enough away to escape the fire that follow ed. Boggs suffered sprains of both ankles and severe lacerations, and MacDonald a sprained ankle and slight cuts on the face.

Ont., Nov. 28——A large grey wolf, which for months has terrorized the large herds of deer which roam through Algonquin park. Is dead. The manner In which he died won lor him the admiration of the government foresters at the park who were formerly his bitterest enemies. Traps had been set for the big marauder in vain. It appeared he would never be caught. Jim Shields, chief park ranger, finally outwitted the wolf by placing a cunningly laid trap fastened to a four-inch pole. Visiting this snare one day, Shields found the trap gone and evidences of a mighty struggle. The wolf had gnawed through the thick pole and taken the trap away with him. Shields and assistants then followed the trail and after 27 miles of tramp ing came upon the body of the wolf with the trap still clinging to his fo #!g. John Miller, superintendent of the park, visiting William Finlayson. Ontario minister of lands and for ests. told the story of the wolfs struggle for liberty.
