I/>. Doheny Killed
By His Secretary
os Angeles, Feb. .,17.?E. L.
eny, Jr., son of the milionaire
magnate, was shot to death in his
erly Hills mansion here early tohv
Hugh Plunkett, who killed
self after the murder.
olice said Plunkett was ynderd
to have been Doheny's seery.
Dr. E. C. Fishbaugh, personhysician
of the oil man, wafr called
Doheny's home about midnight,
n entering the house, he told
:e, ha heard a shot. Guided by
sound, he rushed to a bedroom
before he reached it he heard a
nd shot. The bodies were found
ither.
oheny had been shot in the
head with the same gun.
r. Fishbaugh summoned W. Blair,
f of police of Beverly Hills; Dist
Attorney Burton Fitts, and
oner Frank Nance. Blair said
: Plunkett apparently had become
| insane suddenly. I
I)r. Kishbaugh said he hud been
summoned by Doheny to attend
Plunkett, who had been suffering
from nervous trouble and was to undergo
a throat operation.
District Attorney Fitts said Lluy.
Plunkett evidently had gone to Doheny's
home with the intention of
committing suicide, and that the oil
man had remoTistrated with him. In
a fit of insanity, Plunkett was believed
to have shot Doheny and then
turireif the gun on himself/
Plunkett was 35 years old and had
been employed by Doheny, Sr., for
15 years.
The senidr Doheny was notified of
the shooting, at his Los Angeles
home.
Young Tern Makes I^ong Flight
Washington, Feb. 18.?The longest
flight ever recorded for a banded bird,
marked .by the United States biological
survey, was made by a fledgling
artic tern from Turnevilt Bay,
Labrador, to Margate, 16 miles southwest
of Pprt Shepstone, Natal, South
Africa.
The bird was marked by a - cooperator
of the bureau at Turnevik
Bay on July 23, 1928, and was found
dead at Margate on November* 14,
1928. The bird was only about four
months old when found.
A passenger train on a Mexican
railroad near Yurcxaide, Michoanan,
Friday, was dynamited and rebels attacked
the military escort, passengers
and train crew. Dispatches received
at Mexico City said that from
25 to 50 persons were killed.

Darlington Youth
Grew Over Hale Acre
*
Darlington, Feb. 15.?Clifton Galloway,
an 18 or 19-yeur-old boy, probably
had the beat five acres of cotton
in Darlington county last year, "undoubtedly
th$ beat of the county entered
in the State Cotton Contest.
Clifton picked 2670 pounds of lint,
stapling an inch and an eight, from
his five acrea of Caroling Foster long
staple cotton. He 'actually made
about 1500 pounds more lint than thb
but the atorms hit his cotton just
as it was opening and this much
rotted. . ?,
L~ Although his land had the reputation
of producing a large "weed"
Clifton reasoned that the more stalks
he crowded on the plot the less each
would grow, so he left the plants
very thick ij\? the drill in rows 34
inches apart. He protected the cotton
from boll weevils by mopping
with sweetened poison and then dusting
with a hand gun when plants
grew larger.
He fertilised the five acres with
1000 pounds of u 15-5-5 mixture ypd
applied 750 pounds of nitrate of soda
as a side dresser.
Clifton's own statement us to
lessons learned is: "Close spacing
payB best; use 800 pounds of high I
grade fertilizer and 150 pounds of j
nitrate of soda per acre; sweetened J
poison applied properly-paya^rotating
cotton with legumes js a good practice
for cotton growing." ^
Want Bridge at Catawba Junction
At a meeting of the directors of
the -Hock Hill Chamber of Commerce
i last Tuesday, the matter of building
a bridge over Catawba River at the
Indian ferry was brought up and discussed.
It was stated that the erection of
a bridge at this point, connecting
York and Lancaster counties^wouid
make possible the shortest route be-twcen
Wilmington, N. C., and Asheville,
N. C., the saving in mileage between
the two* points amounting to
"approximately 30 miles.
The statement was made that th*
bridge would cost about $100,000 and
that possibly $60,000 could be secured
through Federal aid, the
balance being divided between York
and Lancaster counties.
It. will be recalled that an effort
was made to build a bridge at this
site several years ago but York
county people were unable to get the
co-operation of Lancaster county, the
latter Contending that the building of
a bridge at this point was a scheme*
to draw trade from the western part
of Lancaster county to Rock Hill.
Just what attitude Lancaster people
will take toward the proposition ut
this time remains to be seen
Strange Sights Found
tig A viators in Skies i
Dayton, Ohio, Fob. 13.?-Two Army
fliers in an old Army plane reached
an unofficial altitude of 39,000 feet
from Wright Field yesterday, and
brought down with them ait account
of a condition above the clouds which
meteorologists long have suspected
but never have been able to prove.
The fliers, Lieut. Johnson and Cuptain
A, W. Stevens, pilot and photographer,
were forced down by deplenished
fuel at Horton Field Columbus,
Ohio.
The instruments attached to the
plane, used in many tests and alii-"
tude flights, indicated that they had
reached an altitude outreaching the
record of 38,402.6 feet held by Lieut.
C. C. Champion, of the United States
Navy. No record wuh claimed because
mles of the Federation Aeronautiijue
Internationale prescribe that
the plane land at the field from which
it left the earth.
The two pilots blamed their failure
to establish a record for a two-man i
plane on another phenomenon of the
air: Excessive visibility.
"The ordinary horizon line when
Hying is between "seven and eight
thousand feet," they explained.
"After we got" above the clouds of
ice, we couldn't see the ground and
the horizon line above must hav?been
at least 60,000 feet?and we
didn't know where we were."
After they had reached the pinnacle
of their flight, .Johnson and
Stevers were Hying in a temperature
of 7o degrees below zero. They
looked below and saw what appeared
to Ik- billows of ice crystals hung in
midair and resembling the formations
of a cave.
The aviators described the spectacle
as a dazzling sight, with the light
rays broken by the rtragile crystals
into all the colors oi the spectrum.
In order to verify this seeming
mirage of the heavens they dipped
again and again Into the Crystals,
and Lieut. Johnson, to make more
certain, removed a glove and stuck
his bare hand from the cockpit. It
j was pierced as though by a thousand
i needles. Not satisfied, Capt. Stevens
exposed part of his face, and today
he bore a huge ice blister on one
cheek as a souvenir.
Capt. Stevens made several pictures
on the flight but the results
are in doubt. Exhaust from the engine
fouled the lens several times,
and a thick blanket of snow which
covered the territory over \fchich
they flew made his photog.aph of
little value in studying the earth
from the great height.
' ^
Diving Depths
For years the diving fraternity lias
been trying to perfect methods to enable
man to"~~"gor down to greater
depths and remain undersea longer
than is now possible. Drivers rarely
work below 200 feet, and even at that
depth they ran stay but a short time.
It takes about three minutes for a
diver to descend to 200 feet, but it
takes a longer time to bring him
back. The hauling is not continuous;
pauses must be made to allow the
gas occasioned by great pressure to
escape from the body lluids and tissues.
The number and duration of
C* . i
the stops naturally increases with
depth.
At a depth of 200 feet there is
a water pressure of nearly 90 pounds
to each square inch of surface Thus,
at that depth, a diver with an average
exposed area of 720 inches would
feel a weight equivalent to more than
20 tons. No wonder, then, that a
diving suit Weighs about 200 pounds
and costs in the neighborhood of
$1,000. >Vt 20 feet the pressure is
8 1-2 pounds to the square inch; at J
30 feet, 13 pounds; at 40 feet, 171
pounds, and this increases proportion- '
ately with depth untilt at 300 feet the.
equivalent weight in 150 pounds to (
the square inch.
Another of the many dangers that.
bes^et a diver is to rise frotn the
depths toy rapidly and so receive an
excejtsivo amount of compressed air.
in proportion to'the water pressure.
This is ill thu- risk- of? rupturing?a?
blood vessel, (>r worse. Most divers
are deaf because sudden changes of
pressure break their enr drums. A
diver must swallow constantly to
keep his head clear, and that is the
reason most divers chew gum while
at work. Some have been known to
smear vinegar on their face plates,
licking it from time to time to faeiliflte
the flow of saliva.
Full-blooded men or men with weak
lungs cannot be used in diving or submarine
work. Even for those in the
prime of health, a few years of work
at high pressure finally cause gas
bubbles to form in tho blood and result
in severe nervotis twitching* or
premature retirement because of
paralysis.
Notwithstanding, the professiqu
has a strong hold on its followers and
the writer has yet to hear one diver
say that diving is not fascinating and
thrilling work.?The Pathfinder.
