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.

I suppose you are wondering what
shape it left me in. Well, so am I.
Am afraid 1 11 never take any prizes

rood luck I'll be somewhat disfigured.
Broke my nose and smeared it around

It's an awful bruise; jawbone splintered

London saying that Lieutenant Fawcett

will be returned home as soon as he is

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.

R. J. Forter. 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."

"It may be necessary to continue the

whether the cost of living will continue

The rise will affect practically all
