cers at Rockwell field were to con
duct a formal court of Inquiry today
to determine the cause of the airplane
accident that caused the deaths of
Colonel FraB.-is 8. MarsTialL aide to
the chief of staff of cavalry, and
Lieutenant Charles Webber. L 8. A-

Saturday afternoon In the Cupamaia

SAN DIEGO, Cal., May 14. With
the remains of two men, found Satur
day near the wreckage of an airplane
on Cuyamaca mountain east of here.
positively Identified aa those of CoL
Francis Marshall and Lieutenant
Charles Webber, army afficers here
today awaited Instructions from rela
tives of the men before going ahead
with plans for disposing of the bodies.
Lieutenant Webber's father, th;
Rev. 8. A. Webber, lives in Denver,
and learned only yesterday from Asso
ciated Press dispatches of the posi
tive Identification of his son's remains.
Colonel Marshall's home was ln Dar
lington, Wis.
Identification of the officers' re
mains .was completed yesterday by
army officers Including Major Henry
Arnold, commander of Rockell field
here and newspapermen who were led
to the spot where the airplane and the
bodies were found Saturday by G. W.
McCain, a cattleman.
Indications were that the plane in
which Colonel Marshall and Lieuten
ant Webber were attempting to fly
from San Diego to Tucson, Ariz., had
flown too low over a pine forest, had
struck some of the trees and crashed
to the ground. The airplane also had
caught fire, presumably after it struck
the ground, charring the bodies. As
the skulls were crushed it Is believed
they died Instantly.
Identification became positive when
Colonel Marshall's name was found in
the cap of one of the men. Until Sat
urday the fate of the two men had
been undetermined since December
last when they undertook their flight
to Tucson and disappeared.

fatured a special meeting today of
the Coast league directors.
Through the efforts of McCarthy,
Charles Lockard, Seattle' delegate.
was denied all participation in the
meeting on the- ground that the Se
attle club has failed to adhere to the
league's bylaws in its refusal to sub
mit to the league executives the facts
relative to Its recent sale.
The session ended when a motion
of the Insurgent group, headed by J.
Cat Swing, president of the Oakland
club, that a two-hour recers be taken
ost by a tie vote. The same tie pre
vented a re-consideration of the
matters recently decided at the
Portland meeting of last January, the
allocation of the southern territory
between Los Angeles and Vernon and
the limiting of the rights of the major
leagues in the Pacific coast league in
respect to the draft.
The meeting today waa forced by
the insurgent group of five clubs,
Oakland. Los Angeles, Portland. Se
attle and Salt Lake, to overturn the
Portland findings, and to repudiate
McCarthy thereby, as the president's
vote effected the Portland decisions.
After today's meeting Ewing an
nounced that he would obtain a trans
cript of the meeting and forward it
to the national board of arbitration
for a decision.
The club owners stood 5 to 3 on
today's propositions," he said, "and
this majority was overturned by Mc
Carthy's illegal and high-handed
tactics."

season has been remarkably frost

caused little damage. -
"At present there is some little
trouble with cherries, and ln some
cases with pears and apples, in that

the fruit drops soon afterwards. The
reason is not frost evidently, as there

Why teeth grow dingy
You feel on your teeth a viscous film. It clings to teeth, enters

Film also holds food cubstar.ee which ferments and forms acid. It

They, with tartar, are the chief cause of pyorrhea, now so alarmingly
common.
Now you can combat it
Dental science has in late years found two
film combatants. One acts to curdle film,
one to remove it, and without any harmful
scouring.
Able authorities proved these methods ef
fective. Then a nrw-type tooth paste was
created; based on modern research. These
two film combatants were embodied in it for
daily application. That tooth paste is called
Pepsodent Careful people the world over
