GOVERNOR MUTE
ON MEN'S FATE
DtfCISIO.V OS WILLOS-KELLEY
NOT YET MADE
Supreme Court Issues Statement
Denying Recommendation
as Court
Governor Patterson, upon his
return here last night from Marsh
field, refused to give any intima
tion as to whether he would com
mute the sentences of Ellsworth
Kelley and James Willos. The
governor late yesterday reprleYtn
the death sentence imposed in the
Kelley and Willos cases for one
week.
The governor indicated that any
future action he would take in
the Willos and Kelley cases would
be guided by developments.
To make its position in the case
thoroughly clear the state supreme
court issued a statement empha
sizing that any recommendation to
the governor would not be from
the justices sitting as a court.
According to a telegram by Brad
ley Ewers, attorney for the con
victs, to Governor Patterson, and
later confirmed by Chief Justice
Rand, a number of tne Justices
will recommend commutation to
life imprisonment if asked by the
governor for a recommendation
Indications are that only Justices
Bean and Brown may not make
individual recommendations.
The statement issued by the
court follows:
ine memDers or the supreme
court state that they have never
authorized a statement that they
would recommend o the governor
hat the sentence of Kelly and Wil
los be commuted to life imprison
ment.
On the contrary, upon appli
cation made by Mr. Ewers, the
attorney for the ironvtt-ied parties.
tne court expressly declined to
sign any recommendation in the
premises, deeming that the duties
of the court ended when it de
nied the writ of habeas corpus and
that as members of the court they
had no further concern in the
matter."
The court's statement apparent
ly was issued to clear up any false
idea that the court, as a judicial
body, will interfere or recommend
to the governor in the Willos-Kel-
lev cases.

BIG BLAST KILLS
5 IN DANCE HALL
EXPLOSION OCCURS IX MIS
SOURI TOWN LAST NIGHT
Flames Follow With Resnlt That
Rescue Attempts Greatly
Hampered
WEST PLAINS. Mo.. April 14.
(AP) Five are known to be
dead, fifteen are missing who are
believed to have perished and
twenty more are In hospitals here
in a serious condition as a result
of an explosion of undetermined
origin which wrecked a crowded
dance hall here late last night.
Flames which followed the ex
plosion swept the ruins of the
building and burned three adjoin
ing structures before they were
under control.
The 15 missing persons were
believed to have been killed as the
spreading flames prevented rescu
ers from searching the wrecked
'dance hall. One theory was that
gasoline was stored in the two
story Reilly building in which the
dance hall, was located but this
has been denied.
The dead include Paul Evans,
Jr., son of Dr. Paul Evans, prom
inent in Missouri politics, and
Mrs. R. G. Martin, wife of a local
automobile dealer.
Sixty or more persons were at
tending the dance when the ex
plosion occurred. The force of
the blast blew out the front and
rear walls of the building, carry
ing many of the people with it.
Many of the injured that es
caped from the burning building
were found lying in the street and
on the opposite side from the
dance hall.' They were rushed to
two hospitals here, where extra
doctors and nurses were called on
duty.
The
fire was reported nearly,
under control two hours arter tne
explosion. Three buildings were
destroyed. Two were adjoining
business structures.
Three more bodies were taken
frpm the ruins of the dance hall
and officials believe 15 more are
under the walls.
The bodies were burned beyond
recognition but apparently are'
those of two girls and a Doy.

PUBLIN. Apr. 13. ( AP) A
four-leaf Irish shamrock was Von
Huenefeld's good luck om'n on
his transatlantic voyage. It flew
with Fitsmaurlce on the Irish
man's, Atlantic flight with Macin
tosh last September and brought
him safely back to the sands of
Vallybunion beach, when their
plane was unable to fight its way
through the storms off the Irish
coast.
When the Bremen arrived at
Baldonnel from Berlin. Colonel
Fltxmaurlce gave the German bar
on his cherished shamrock to car
ry to America. When it was decid
ed that Fitiraaurlce should fly in
the Bremen, Von Huenefeld In re
turn, gave the Irishman his most
prised luekpiece, a little silver doll
about an Inch long.
"It brought rao through the
world war," he told Fitxmaurlce,
"and safely off six operation
tables."
FUemturlce is without a pass
port but he was not the sort to
worry over such trifles of trans
atlantlo airplane crossing. All the
Bremen's crew had heard the us
ual storlsg current in Europe about
the terrors of Ellis Island end the
difficulty of entering the United
States without proper credentials.
"But I am sure America will be
kind to me and overlook my short
comings," Colonel Fitsmaurlce re
marked to the Associated, Press
correspondent before --starting.
"They can't send me back right
away I shall Insist on some sleep
and rest.' . ..
Captain Koehl and Baron Ven
Huenefeld however, were taking
no chances. With true German sys
tem and care they obtained their
passports and tacked them away In
their clothes. And the passports
were properly stamped and visaed
for America.'

(BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS)
Apparently fully authenticated reports announce the Ger
man monoplane Bremen and her German-Irish crew have
beaten that aviation hoodoo a non-stop westward flifht
of the Atlantic.
They did npt completely achieve their announced ob
jective "Mitchell field or heaven" but they tied the east
ern and western shores in a 34 hour jump from Ireland to
Labrador, assert dispatches from several reliable source.
Slightly damaged in a forced descent, the Bremen was
said to rest under the sheer rock cliffs of Greenly Island, u
little "dot" on the map marking the southern tip of Labra-
dor.
Her crew of three Baron Von Huenefeld, Captain Koehl
and Colonel Fitzmaurice unharmed by the long, arduous,
almost fatal, flight from Baldonnel field, were guests- of
the island lighthouse keeper.
The plant landed about noon yesterday, all reports agree,
but because of the isolation of the spot, no news reached th?
outside world until nearly seven hours later. It came in a
wireless message from Point Amour, Labradoi, apparently
relayed there by courier, and read:
"German plane landed Greenly Island noon. Slightly
damaged. Crew well."
Growing apprehension over the fate of the German mono
plane Bremen, engaged in the perilous westward Atlantic
hop was almost entirely relieved last night when excep
tionally authenticated reports declared the machine was
down at Greenly Island, Labrador.
The plane was said, to have been slightly damaged in land
ing but the crew of three. safe.
First report that the voyagers had come down 400 miles
north of their plotted course came from the Marconi oper
ator at Point Amour, some ten miles from Greenly Island.
It was followed quickly by a despatch from the Canadian
government station at Louisbtirg, N. S. v
Further apparent confirmation came with the intercep
tion of a despatch addressed to the London Times, aupnosed

safety.
