Senate Rearing
Halted By Fight

WASHINGTON. D. C., June 7.
(UP)— A free for all fight In
which ink wells, water glasses and
fists flew Today halted the house
committee hearing on Impeach­
ment charges against District Co­
lumbia Commissioner Fenning,
Representative Rankin, Mississip­
pi deocrat, and Defense Attorney
Frank Hogan were principals In
the bout.
H eard for B lo ck s
The crash of the plane was
heard for many blocks. It inter­
rupted church services a short
distance away and members of
the congregation rushed from the
building to view the wreckage.
The plane was one which crash­
ed several weeks ago at Crescent
City. It had been purchased by
Titus who had repaired it, and
with young Phelps as a passenger
was making (lls first flight over
the city.
According to reports from per­
sons wjio .witnessed the tragedy,
the plane suddenly went into a
nose spin and crashed to earth
before the pilot could right it.
The machine is a total wreck and
it is uncertain if an examination
will disclose just what went wrong
with It.
Titus is married and has three
children. Both young men have
lived here for years and both
were popular throughout the city.
