DENSE FOG ACCIDENT CAUSE Jo Trip la Plane Former Sport EJ1- of The Orcgonlan Shoots Into Tree at O-Mile Kate. tor Lieutenant Roscoe A. Fawcett. for mer sports editor of The Oregonian, today is in a London hospital and his companion on a flight from London to Paris, is dead, as the result of serious injuries which befell the two men in a dense fog; recently, wnen, flying; at a SO-mlle rate, their big British plane struck a tree, smashing it to kindling;. For several months, since leaving this country following his graduation at the flying school in San Diego, Faw cett has been stationed near Win chester, England, training men in the aero squadrons, and In this war work had made several flights across the Knclish Channel. Lieutenant Fawcett's injuries Include a broken no?e. a bad dent in his fore head, a splintered Jawbone, the loss of several teeth, a sprained ankle, neck muscles wrenched and bruises on prac tically all parts of his body. In a letter to Mrs. Fawcett. written from the hos pital in Kngland where he was taken after bis accident. Lieutenant Fawcett cays: -Larky f Be AIIve.' Says Fawcett. "I don't know If the news has reached you yet or not. I guess it has. To put it briefly. I had a terrible fall and am lucky to be alive. AVaa flying from London to Taris and ran into fog like the one in my balloon race in 1914 Portland) only it Is oiiierent in an aeroplane on a small island like Kng-iand where ten miles of flying may cut von IS miles at sea. We were fly ing close along the coast when the fog came in suddenly. Had no compass, but tried to turn and run out of it. Instead. I think the bus went around in a circle and once we were out at sea I am sure, although couldn't see 1000 feet. The only resort was to come down, take pot luck on lighting in a forest or a good field. Couldn't see a thing and thought bus was up 00 or 700 feet when bang crash hit a tree or something and caromed off on to a farmer's hayrick. That's all that saved us. The plane was one of the top-notch Knglish buses, and we must have been going 80 or 90 miles, at least. Of course, the plane was smashed to kindling wood, and it is a miracle it did not burn up and incinerate us. I was knocked unconscious but came to and pulled myself out of the wreckage Just as a crowd of farmers gathered, and it took them 20 minutes to dig my pal out. He had Just had a crash in France and was in Kngland recuper ating. Name was Evans I don't know his first name. Fine fellow, too. X More Triaea at Beauty Show. I suppose you are wondering what shape it left me in. Well, so am I. Am afraid 1 11 never take any prizes in a beauty show, unless it is for Bos ton bull terriers. Unless I have very rood luck I'll be somewhat disfigured. Broke my nose and smeared it around inv face: dented in my forehead and It's an awful bruise; jawbone splintered I'm sure, although dentist has not ye examined me. Five or six teeth gone left ankle sprained, neck muscles wrenched and otherwise bruised on thighs, hands, etc. ' "I say it is pretty tough luck, for transferred into aviation from infantry because I imagined if I did get it. would get it for keeps, and not be sim plv disfigured. Here's hoping I may ret well without very bad scars. t am in a British hospital, and thev are, jrivins me the best of care. Said the real danger of relapse now passed. Am suffering very acutely, as inv mouth and Jaws are like something that has gone through a sausage jrrinder. Haven t been able to eat any thing since being brought here. Drink ing a little milk and oranay. ilrs. Fawcett has had a cable from London saying that Lieutenant Fawcett li doing nicely. It is probable that he will be returned home as soon as he is nble to travel, but as yet there is no definite information concerning his mustering out. ARE DEPRECATED Bethauser. Otto L, Tomah. Wis.

Employment Serv ice Spends Two Days Here and Leaves for North. APPROPRIATION OF $230,000 TO BE VOTED TJPOX. Issuance of a subpena for him by the grand Jury in San Francisco taking up investigation of the circum stances of the Mooney conviction did not deter John B. Densmore, whose report stirred the grand jury to ac tion, from proceeding from Portland to Seattle last night, intent on his duties as director-general of the United States Employment Service. "I sent Foreman McCarthy a tele gram," said Mr. uensmore, tening him I did not know Just how soon i could get to San Francisco." He added that he could not set aside his Gov ernment business to answer such a call unless it was urgent. Mr. Densmore mildly deprecated the proposed calling- of strikes as a protest against the hanging- of Mooney. I do not approve of etriking- as a general principle," he said, "and more especially I do not believe the people should protest a judicial opinion in this or any other way. This, of course, is my personal opinion, and I view things from the lawyer's standpoint." A puzzle to many persons how Gov ernor Stephens should have power to do anything to obtain a new trial for Mooney was made quite plain by Mr. Densmore. 'Mooney was convicted for the mur der of but one of 10 persons who died in the explosion," he explained. "As I understand it, a pardon by Governor Stephens would leave Mooney amenable to another trial along exactly the same lines on one of the other nine indict ments. I'm sure this is what Judge Griffin and others have In mind in referring to a new trial. This would seem an easy way to end the. present dangerous agitation of tne matter." Mr. Densmore spent Sunday ana Monday in Portland. While here he not only inspected the Government work. but was interviewed by a number oi labor representatives.

Her scalp was sore and red. causing her to be cross and fretful and she lost a ereat deal of sleep. Her hair seemed to be very thin and dry. "Then I thought I would try Cut! cura. They seemed to give relief at once, and I used two cakes of Soap with one box of Ointment when she was healed." (Signed) Mrs. J. A. McElhaney. Torrington, Wyoming, April 24, 1918.

Sterling, Colo, writes: "For six months I suffered with a painful weak back. As a traveling salesman I had to stoop frequently to pick up my grips, which I grew to dread, as the pain when I straightened up was awful. Numerous remedies failed to reach my case,. I was Induced to try Foley Kidney Fills. Relief was immediate. Say, they are great! Any one afflicted as I was should try a bottle or two of Foley Kidney Fills."

Good salaries at tract good teachers and good teachers bring new residents who buy homes and share public expenses that their chil dren may profit by the good teachers.' "The rise which Portland votes on to day is in the nature of a war bonus," said Director Thomas. "The war i practically at an end. but prices have not returned to normal. "I am in favor of appropriating money lor a rise In teachers salaries as a war emergency." said Director Orton. "It may be necessary to continue the rise after the year, but the board is presuming that within the coming 1 months it will be able to determine whether the cost of living will continue or win decrease as before war times.' The rise will affect practically all Portland teachers and the majority of principals, as they do not receive $3000 annually. Polls will be open from 12 o'clock this noon until 8 o'clock In the evening. The school board will meet WednesShy afternoon at 5 o'clock to canvass the votes.
