The governor did not give the ape- clflc reasons for hla action. lie did any: A reprieve la an act of executive clemency rather than Judicial clemency.

SEVENTEEN persons met a tragic worst airplane accident that the United States has had. A big transport plane of the American Airlines, en route from New York to Los Angeles, crashed In a swamp. near the village of Goodwin, Ark., and. Its HTpnssen-gers- , two pilots and stewardess were killed. With great difficulty the' bodies of the victims were brought out of the marsh where their bodies were found scattered among the fragments of the shattered plane. Ofllcluls of the government and of the airline company Immediately started an Investigation, but the cause of the disaster could not easily be determined. There was definite evidence that the two motors of the plane-banot ' failed. -- ,Tbe giant French seaplane Lieutenant Valssenu Paris, which crossed the Atlantic to South America and thence flew up to Pensacola, Fla came ' to grief at that point when It was struck by a gale and upset In the bay, Its six motors burled la the vntriir"No'on'e was aboard at the time. d .

The veterans organizations whose bill had been passed by the house accepted the compromise, ao it evidently was on Its wny to the White House for action' by the President What Mr. Roosevelt would do was not known, reports that be would veto the bill being offset by rumors that he would approve It despite the disapproval of treasury officials. On the eve of action by the senate every member of that body received from the Economy league a letter written by Its president, Henry II. Curran, warning that the bonus legislation would "destroy any chance for confidence In the finances of our government that Is necessury If we are ever to regain national prosperity." The letter said that the national budget Is uuhalnnml, national credit slipping, taxe Increasing, purchasing power of the dollar declining and Inflation drawing near. "Rut that Is not all," Curran declared ; "the veterans organizations, as soon as the prepayment of the bonus Is authorized by you If It Is are going after you for service pensions, that Is to say, for money pensions to veterans Just because they are veterans, even though they were never touched by the war. "And this means more billions hnndcd out to a special class at the unjust expense of all the rest of our people who are trying.
