and Shocked.
ACCIDENT CAUSE
IS NOT CERTAIN
Plane Falls Near No. 7
Green on Public Golf
Course Three Miles East
of La Grande.
An airplane, belonging to Robert
"Mike" Sullivan, crashed on the pub
lic golf course three miles east of La
Grande about 0:30 o'clock yesterday
evening, Injuring Mr. Sullivan and
William Arrivey. The. plane, which has
scon a great deal of flying service in
the last few years, is almost a total
loss, but the two youths, although
badly bruised and terribly shocked,
are not dangerously hurt.
Immediately after the crash, a pas
sing car took the two to Hot lake
and they were thoroughly examined
this morning after which the above
statement as to their Injuries was
made.
I The exact ca'use of the crash Is un-
plane slipped to the ground from a
sharp bank, falling probably 300 to
500 feet. Apparently the ship was
heading for a landing on the emer
gency airport when the accident oc
curred. Dane Badly Damaged
The piano is believed to havo
crashed on its side, then flopped ove
on the landing gear. The wings, land
ing gear and the plane In general
were badly smashed up. Tho accident;
occurred a few yards west of No. 7
green, and those on the course were
the first to arrive at the scene.
Mr. Arrive ry Is a step -.son of L. L. i
Snodgrass. Mr, Snodgrasa was fishing 1
at the time, and was notified as soon
as possible, returning to La Grande
lust night. Mr. Sullivan resides at ,
702 Adams avenue.
Who was piloting the piano had
not been learned by The Observer
this morning. Mr. Suiilvan is an ex- j
perienced filer, and is considered to ;
be one of the best in this locality. U
is said that Mr. Arrlvery has not had
as much experience. !
Following the spread of news of the
crash, scores of motorists drove to
the scone and for a considerable time,
it was necessary for Traffic Officer

WINS SECOND

Albany, Ore. Organization
i Winner of the Grand
I Sweepstakes Prize.
FINE SHOWING IS
IMADE AT PORTLAND
Two Disappointments,
However, Felt by La
; Grande Musicians
Roseburg Files Protest.
Winner of second place In the Pa
cific Northwest band contests con
ducted at Jantzen beach last week,
the La Grande municipal band re
turned home this morning. Tho an
nouncement of the winners was not
made formally until the I Grande
organization had left Portland last
evening but the Judges' decision had
"leaked" a short time before train
time. In the light of developments
th,e local musicians were disheart
ened because they had been led to
believe that first place was in their
grasp. The total points awarded to
Albany, Oregon, which won first
plsxo, was 2138 and La Grande trailed
by26, with a total of 2112 points.
tTno grand sweepstakes prlzo of
$1000 went to Albany. La Grande
actually placed first in its class,
which was class A, but nevertheless
stands us second In the state because
of Albany's winning the sweetstakes.
. Two UlMtimolntmeiitK
The disappointments of the contest
came from two directions, when La
Grande arrived on tho scene Saturday
morning it found, much to tls con
sternation, that the bands had been
allowed a 20 per cent professional
personnel. Naturally the top notch
ere among Portland professionals had
been picked up before La Orando ar
rived It believing 100 per cent ama
teur ratings wore necessary. The soc
ond surprise developed Sunday after
noon when contesting bands began
to play simple arrangements of the
contest overture... Under written In
structions from the Jantzen and
Sherman -Clay people ' several weeks
ago, the La Grande and Roseburg
bands mastered the extremely diffi
cult Safranek arrangement. The com
parison between the arrangements,
in the explanation of musicians, is
thal one requires the finished mu
sician and the other falls in the
scope of mediocre performers. . These
developments occurred Just before
train time last night and both. Rose
burg and the La . Grande manage
ments rushed committees ' to the
be&'i to enter Into conference on
the -matter, The band came home
- without hearing tho outcome and on
arrival this morning found a tele
gram from Ed Shcllworth, the La
Grande, coinmlttccmth, saying' -that
Roseburg had employed an attorney
and succeeded in getting the decision
delayed 'until a conference Tuesday I
This forenoon, jtho Associated Press
reported Albany had won, " " '.
Former La Granders In large num
bers reported at Jantzen Beach Satur
day to lend their moral support to

loud In ' their praise.' One of the
most Intensely Interested, and criti
cal, was Jim Bater, formerly of Elgin,
now of Portland. He heard ovory

ARGUMENTS
FOR TREATY
Democratic Leader Tells
Senate Why They Should ;
Ratify Agieement :
quorum Assured
with 52 present
"Treaty Tends to Allay
1 the Fears and Rivalries
. . Involving Three
: Countries," Claim. ;
WASHINGTON, July 14 (ff) Sena
tor Robinson, of Arkansas, who help
ed to write flthe London naval treaty,
today gavo the senate the reasons he
believes It should be ratified whllo
others of its friends worked on plans
to speed action by assuring the con
stant presence of a quorum.
The second week of debate found
senators answering the opening roll
call. President Hoover had consulted
Senator Watson, the republican lead- '
er, and Chairman Borah, of the fore
ign relations commltteo on the ques
tion of Inducing absentee senators to
return.
Two senators hitherto absent, Kean
of Now Jorsoy and Gould of Maine,'
wore present today.
Robinson Democrat Leader
Robinson, who leads the democrats,
was freshly acquainted with thft
president's views. He and Senator
Swauson, also a democrat, were at the
white house last night.
Addressing his colleagues, Robinson
expressed hope the treaty debate,
would . not develop personal or par--:
tlsan hostility or antagonism. Ho
cited his reasons for favoring the pact .
as follows: 5 '
"1 The instrument limits all
classes of war ships lr the -United
States. Great Britain and Japan.
"2 Tho treaty accomplishes sub
stantial reduction In capital ships, by
accelerating tho scrapping by Great
Britain of five; by the United States ,
of threo and by Japan of one of these
very costly vessels. . . -
"3 Japanese submarines .will . bo
very greatly reducod and the uso or
these outlaws of the buas will bo re
stricted by the treaty so their effec
tiveness when attacking will be com
parable to that of surface craft.
"4 It Is , Indisputable that tho
treaty gives tho navy .of the United
States a better rclatlvo position wlta
respect to the navies of Great Britain
and Japan than it ocaupled at the
time of the conference. ,,
The treaty tends to allay the
fears and rivalries which prior to lt
negotiations threr.od to involve the
throe countries in antonAte competit
ion respecting sea power and com-,
tnerco.,-, ' -"-
"0 The refusal of advice and con
sent by the senate to ratification :
would threaten serious consequences."
The opening roll call, showed three
more than tho 40 majority present.
" !,Th&: quorum is tho issue," sala .
Senator Borah after tue white house
visit, t- "The senate' will ratify the
treaty but It will not If the member
ship isn't there to do uuslness." ,
' Quorum ah .ureil
Assurance a quorum could be kept
on hand this week was felt In tho
senate with the appearance of thrct)
members who had not answered tht
first call, Dale of Vermont;, Hatfield
or West Virginia and Pino of Okla
homa. The last has not previous beon
present for the special session.
Senate attention was diverted for
a whllo -to the controversy betweeu
It and President Hoover over tho sec
ret correspondence leading up to the
treaty negotiations. Answering tho re
fusal to deliver the papers, Sonatos
McKclIar, democrat, Tennessee, an
opponent of the pact, said:
"Tho president speaks of breach of
trust, there has been only one breach
of trust. The president has comm
ted a breach of trust against tho Ben
ate, his co-equal and co-party in
treaty making.
