Four Killed At Louisburg l.ouisburu, N. ?Three moil and a woman believed to be from Akron, (J, and Miami. Fla., died in an airplane (-rash thirteen miles north of here! Sunday afternoon. Coroner W. A. Bobbitt, of Franklin county identified llie dead as: C. H. iletz, Akron, O.; I) \j. Breen, honorary member State Police Chief's Association, Akron; Arthur Conn. Akron; MIbh Caroline Dan-1 ely, Hotel George Washington, Miami,] Fla. The coroner established the identification from papers in the pockets of tho dead persons and from baggage in the plane, which was completely wrecked. Louisburg, a little North Carolina county seat, is located some 30 miles northeast of Raleigh, and is on the regular air route from Miami to Washington. The plane, Coroner Bobbitt said, was scattered over some 10 to 1 F? acres of land near the Gold Sund school. Milk Distributed To Refugees New York, Fob. 3. ? A story of tho ti-iitto bchind-lhescenoH fight to overcome tho chaotic effort of floods on food distribution in strikingly told in modest but graphic reports to tho \lllk Industry foundation. Ah milk routes, dairy plants and producing farms were engulfed hy the flood waters in many Ohio-Mississippi valley areas, warlike emergency measures were taken by the dairy Industry to supply milk to devastated com Inunltles. One of the main objectives was to keep supplies of pasteurized milk moving to the flood-marooned to safeguard health. Trainloads of bottled milk were shipped to the outskirts of cities where some pasteurizing plants were under water. Trucks pulled by tractors when ploughed through the flood as far as possible to points where boats and rafts picked up the milk cargo for distribution. Milk was sent as far us Ixniisvlllo from Chicago by tail in bottles ready for delivery. Big 2,000-gallon glasslined milk tank trucks of Chicago dairy farms-also rushed fresh water supplies to Kvansvllle and other Indiana cities when water shortages were acute. Tank trucks of I-ouisville dairies carried fresh water for the Red (boss supply there. "Ah city pumping plant out of commission we are supplying pure tested water from our deep wells to Ited Cross and hospitals," came tho report from Kvansvllle, lad. "Abundant milk supply but dollverymen wearing hip-boots and using rowboats and motorboats to reach babies and others. Also doing rescue work. Three of our people have had nervous breakdowns because of continued strain and under doctor's care with nurses. Large number employes and others sleeping in our auditorium. Maintaining emergency steam equipment for refrigeration, etc., in case electric power discontinued." At lxjuisville bottled fresh milk was stacked along railroad tracks and at emergency food" depots on Islands of dry land spotted throughout the city, ready for house-to-house delivery by boats. "In many sections executives of dairy companies and their route-men because of their special knowledge of distribution problems, were placed in command of emergency supply depots and directed the distribution of milk and other foodstuffs," the Louisville report said. "The principal supply came from Chicago as trains could cross the Ohio on the high Kentucky and Indiana railroad bridge. One unloading point was at Market street and the railroad tracks and tractors hauled the milk to deep water where it was transferred to boats. Milkmen then carried on the distribution down water-filled streets to families marooned on the second floors of their homes with delivery baskets lowered to the boats, j "Milk was also unloaded from Garland street to coast guard surf boats commanded by Boatswain J. G. Brown of Port Huron, Michigan. The coast guard fought swift currents on Broadway, a principal street, to reach Eighteenth, where the milk was loaded Into trucks plying through shallow water. By relays of boats milk reached as far as tin? Brown hotel In the heart of the city. "Several dairy plants turned trucks and wagons over to the Red Cross to aid distribution of emergency supplies of all kinds to families on high land who were suffering from the paralysis of the city's distributing system. H. B. Sawyer, head of a Louisville dairy company, was in charge of major relief work as president of the Louisville Red Cross." Band Of Alleged Forgers Smashed Charlotte, N. C? Feb. 3.?Frank N. Lltllejohli, chief of Charlotte detectives. announced today the arrest of an alleged band of forgers as result of detentions here and in Spartanburg, S. C., Griffin, Ga , and Houston, Te xas. Littlejohn said tho men were charged with operating in a number of Southern cities and obtaining thousands of dollars. Fifth and final arrest in the round up was made here last night when Robert C Brown was taken Into custody, he said. He announced Charles Gilbert is under arrest at Spartanburg, Jack Gilbert is held at Houston and Roscoe Doyle and William Thomas hi.\e been arrested and sentejiced to prison terms at Griffin. All the men are from Charlotte, Littlejohn said. Senator Bilbo of Mississippi, declares himself as "one thousand per cent" in favor of President Roosevelt's proposed reorganization of the Federal Judiciary. The national Red Cross reports that up to Thursday night, donations for flood relief, had totaled $14,119,000. Marriage Laws Vary Greatly In States New York, Feb. 3.?Romantically-inclined couples In these United Htues find a variety of marrlugo laws confronting their altur-bound inventions. A veritable legal patchwork of inconsistencies Ih reflected In llie many requirements on age limits health restrictions and license regulations for mat rimony. la Tennessee where nine-year-old FuitU-e W Instead married a 22-year old mountaineer, Charlie Johns, there are no statutory provisions governing marriage. Tennessee stands ulouo in this respect, but ten states--('olorado, Florida, Idaho, Louisiana, South Dukota, Maryland, New Jersey, North Carolina, Rhodvj Island, and Wusliington? are close rivals, in approval of common law marriage ago brackets of 14 !<>r hoys and 12 for girls. The Tennessee ehild marriage brought a move in that state's legislature to set up laws to prevent such weddings and elided a call from government officials and others for uniform state laws. The Tennessee case is a counterpart in the marriage of 12 year-old Loona Flizabeth ltoshla, to Stanley F. Backus, 18, in Watertown, New York. The minimum age in New York State is 14 years for a girl, but the youthful Watertown bride gave her ago as 18 at the time of her marriage. Nebraska, Ohio, Wyoming and West Virginia offer the sternest age tests, requiring both parties to be 21 years of age to marry without consent and setting a minimum of 18 years for men and 18 for women with consent. Wyoming in addition, calls for health certificates from male applicants and requires a five-day wait between issuance of the license and the I marriage ceremony. Thirty states set age limits without required consent at 21 for men and 18 for women, the nearest thing to a uniform scale in the nation. The range downward is an intricate puzzle. So-called "gin" or "cocktail" laws' to prevent hasty and ill-considered marriages are in force In live states three of them demanding a five-day J wait to wed after a license is obtained and in two specifying a three-day interval.
