New York, March 10.—One of the
survivors widowed when the flying
boat Cavalier sank at sea Jan. 21
on a flight to Bermuda with a loss of
three lives filed suit against the air-
line company Thursday for damages
of $201,109.50.
Mrs. Katherine Cline Miller of Lin-
coln, Neb., in Federal Court alleged •
her husband, Donald Walters Miller,
died because Imperial Airways crew-
men did not attempt to help him after
the big transport made a forced land-
ing.
Among the 104 interrogatories ac-
companying the demand for $200,000
as compensation for the loss of her
husband, plus $1,109.50 for lost lug-
gage and the tickets they purchased,
was this question addressed to the
company: “Is it not a fact that the
airmen failed and refused to assist
the plaintiff in succoring Donald Wal-
ters Miller, although requested to do
so by one or more other passen-
gers 7” \
Mrs. Miller’s papers related that
her husband was struck by a wing
of the plane after it came to rest "on
the water in a landing which smash-
ed the hull.
The flying boat sank a few minutes '
later. Of the eight passengers and
five crewmen ip it, six passengers
and four of the crew were saved after
hours in the water clinging to life
preservers.
Mrs. Miller alleged her husband
was given no life preserver or in-
structed in the use of one, and asked
if it was not true that passengers
were forbidden to adjust' their life
preservers prior to the landing.
Mr. and Mrs. George Rollins and
son, James, of DeLeon visited here

Mrs. Frank Allen introduced the
speaker for the afternoon, Mrs. Jim
McCann Jr. In a very charming and
gracious manner Mrs. McCann greet-
ed the guests and announced the name
oif the play, “Our Town,” by Thorn-
ton Wiley, which she reviewed.
“Our Town” is a three-act play;
the first act depicts the every day life
in a typical small town in 1903. The
second act portrayed the sacredness
of marriage. In the last act the au-
thor endeavored to picture death and
the “hereafter” according to his be-
lief. Mrs. McCann reviewed the play
in a very realistic manner, which was
thoroughly enjoyed.
At the close of the play, the guests
were invited , to partake of Russian

Chicago, March 10.—A white-haired
81 year old widow, who would have
ended her life in the river yesterday,
began it anew today in the home of
a stranger to whom she promised to
be “a good mother.”
Friendless and penniless, Mrs.
Anna Schmidt was restrained from
leaping into the river y*t*terday by
a policeman. Today she appeared in
women’s court on a disorderly con-
duct charge.
In broken English, she related that
she came to Chicago from Aus'tria-
Hungary witji her husband 30 years
ago. He obtained a job in the pull-
man car works and things looked
bright in their adopted country. They
contracted to buy a home for $6,500.
Fifteen years agb her husband died,
Mrs. Schmidt was unable to keep up
payments on the mortgage. Last
month it was foreclosed on the $4,-
000 still owing.
Her only surviving child is a
daughter, married and living in Hun-
gary.
In court today sympathetic listen-
ers looked up in surprise When a
middle-aged woman arose and asked
to spenk.
She identified herself as Mrs. Helen
Whitehurst and said she had read
about Mrs. Schmidt in the newspa-
pers and wanted to offer her a home.
“We have no children, and she can
take the place of my own mother
who is 74, lives in Austria and whom
I probably never will see again,”
Mr«. .Whitehurst told the court,.
"Got Zu Danken, (God bless you)”
explained Mrs. Schmidt standing with
the policeman who pulled her away
from the bridge railing. She began

You’ve all heard of the shoemak-
er’s son who didn’t have any shoes
and the dressmaker’s wife who didn’t
have a dress. Well,' just turn that
alf around and what have you—a fire,
at the fire station.
That’s just what happened Satur-
day morning' about 10:30. The fire
alarm was sounded, the firemen rush-
ed to- the trucks, and to their sur-
prise, they didn’t get to take a ride
on the trucks because the fire was
in the basement of the fire station.
There was no damage done except
by smoke caused dry the kerosene
water heater.
Pete Berry and Fred Brown, who
are held in the county jail On burg-

As the jailer, Lop Kendrick, brought
the food in, they seized him and in
the ensuing scuffle, his wife joined
him. Her calls for help attracted the
attenfl&Yf of' the telephone operators
who called Sheriff Gholson. They were
subdued and placed in solitary con-
finement.
