VERNON CASTLE IS KILLED WHEN PLANE CRASHES TO EARTH American, Captain in British Royal Flying Corps, Trying to Avoid Collision, Loses Control of Machine FORT WORTH. Tex.. Feb 15 —Cap tain Vernon Castle, of the British royal flying corps, world-famous dancer, was killed by a short fall from his airplane in a flight at Ben-Brook field, fifteen miles west of here today. Trying to land while instructing an American cadet, Castle swerved the ma chine to avoid collision with another American flyer who was landing at the same time. The cadet riding with Castle was not injured. Castle came to Fort ( Worth last Oc tober with Lord Wellesly’s squadron and immediately went into quarters at Ben- Brook, he was an instructor. He had seen long and sensational service on the western front in France. He had made more than 300 flights over the German lines in Flanders and had had many thrilling fights with the Boches, but had never been injured while at the front. His friends in Texas declared today when they heard he had been killed: "That is the way Castle wanted to die. He had said many times ‘I have had honors enough; I want to die in the flying service of Great Britain..’ ” Castle and R. Peters were only 45 feet from the ground when their ma chine started to fall. Castle was driv ing from the front seat which is unus ual, as the instructor nearly always drives from the back seat and places the cadet in front. Friends of Castle said today that lie had been worried by the long training courses here and was anxious to return to the firing line. Castle had made over 300 flights over the German lines and was the hero of many exploits in the war zone. His work had been especially on the Flan ders front and covered a period of nine months. He came to Fbrt Worth last October along with Lord Wellesley. Vernon Castle was born in England thirty-three years ago. His real name was Vernon Blythe. His sister is mar ried to Lawrence Grossmith. the well known theatrical producer. Castle was first seen In the United States in one of the old Lew Fields productions at Herald Square theater, when he took the part of a waiter in “The Girl Behind the Counter.” Later he appeared in the “Sun Dodgers.” and it was in one of the Fields productions that he met Mrs. Castle. Following his Broadway career, the Castles went to Paris, where they took up dancing. It was while they were appearing in Paris that they were seen by Cba.-les W. Dillingham, who brought them to the United States. Dillingham starred the Castles in “Watch Your Step.” Vernon Castle was the highest paid dancer in all dramatic history, accord ing to Dillingham. During the height of the dancing craze Castle’s salary aver aged 18.000 per week. Hundreds Try in Vain To View Castle’s Body FORT WORTH, Texas. Feb. 16. — Hundreds of persons, principally women, who went to the undertaker’s chapel to day to see the body of Captain Vernon Castle, were denied admittance by the royal flying corps. The body will be sent to New York this afternoon for burial. Brief religious services will be held previous to the start of the military funeral procession to the train. 11 More Survivors From Tuscania Are Announced as Saved WASHINGTON.

URIELS Secretary of Navy Tells Com mercial Congress America Will Send Twenty Million Men if Needed to Win War (Special Dispatch to The Journal.) WASHINGTON, Feb. 16. —Secretary Daniels in his address before the mem bers and guests of the Southern Com mercial congress at a dinner at the Uni versity club last night, given in honor of Senator Duncan U. Fletcher, of Flor ida, the retiring president of the con gress, and Judge Robert W. Bingham, of Louisville, Ky„ the new president, said: “We have no place in this country for those exhibiting a pessimistic attitude. Such men should be put to stevedoring under General Pershing. That will be the best way for them ta regain their normal attitude toward their country. The only sentiments we have time for now are consecration and courage. America has done more to prepare for war in six months tka nany other na tion in the hostlry of the world. We are taking men who never in their lives drove a rivet and turning them into builders of the ships which will trans port* ten million of our soldiers to France —nay, twenty million, if neces sary, to win this war. We are now building more torpedo boat destroyers than any other nation in the world, and the day will never come again when American commerce will not be carried to every port on the seas under the American flag. • “A great deal of this tremendous pro gram is due to the foresight and energy of your retiring president, Senator Dun ean U. Fletcher. Had other members of congress seen the great need of ship ping as he did, and followed his lead, the biggest blunder the United States has made in a decade would not have happened, and the shipping bill would have passed two years before. He had the vision to see that we need a strong merchant marine.” On his retirement from the presi dency of the congress in favor of Judge Bingham, Senator Fletcher was pre sented with a silver loving cup. Wel coming his successor, to the presidency of the congress, Senator Fletcher re viewed the work of the organization, saying that it has literally united the north and the south through the unanim ity of Its aims and the co-ordination of its efforts. “During my seven years as president of the congress,” Senator Fletcher said. ”1 have seen the commercial develop ment of the south greatly enhanced. A large part of this is due to the efforts of the gentlemen here tonight. We have accepted opportunities for service which were suddenly presented and which the founders never anticipated would arise. We have reached into foreign lands, and. our literature, name and influence went with the flag. New energy has come to the congress, and as one who has shared for seven years its burdens and respon sibilities, I congratulate the officers and members of the congress upon the happy choice of Judge Bingham, third president of the Southern Commercial congress.” Judge Bingham pledged the efforts of the congress unreservedly to winning the war in his speech accepting the chair. “It is not the time for fault finding and criticism,” he said. “The obligations of the hour rather demand affirmative fidelity to those who are our national leaders in the contest for humanity against Teuton autocracy and injustice. The Southern Commercial congress will study to serve the president of the United States in every opportunity and emergency. The treasury department will receive our support in all its work, the department of commerce may expect our energetic service In the field of for eign and domestic commerce. We will co-operate with the department of labor and with the department of agriculture in encouraging Intensive production of foodstuffs for ourselves, our country and our allies; and the food adminis tration. in its every department, will have the earnest support of the sixteen states included in the territory of the Southern Commercial congress.” Among the guests at the diner were members of the president’s cabinet, sen ators and congressmen, and prominent business and professional men repre senting various organizations through out the country. Judge Hart Reports Georgia Tax Values Near Billion Mark Judge John C. Hart. *state tax commis sioner. has just completed his report for 1917 and placed the same in the hands of the public printer. A summary of tax digests for 1917 shows an increase of $32,473,740 in prop erty values over 1918, exclusive of rail road property. Counting the railroad property, which is returned to the comp troller general, Georgia's tax values for 1917 increased $38,000,000 over 1916. Total taxable values in Georgia are now $991,659,816, which represents an increase of $130,000,000 since the pass age of the tax equalization act. Judge Hart confidently predicts that tax values in 1918 will go well past $1,000,000,000. In fact, as he points out. It is necessary io exceed this figure to meet the large in creased appropriations of the state.

Save the Babies JNFANT MORTALITY is’something frightful. We can hardly realize that of all the children bom in civilized countries, twenty-two per cent., or nearly one-quarter, die before they reach one year; thirty-seven per cent., or more than one-third, before they are five, and one-half before they are fifteen! We do not hesitate to say that a timely use of Castoria would save many of these precious lives. Neither do we hesitate to say that many of these infantile deaths are occasioned by -the use of narcotic preparations. Drops, tinctures and sooth ing syrups sold for children’s complaints contain more or less opium or morphine. They are, in considerable quantities, deadly poisons. In any quantity, they stupify, retard circulation and lead to congestions, sickness, death. There can be no danger in the use of Castoria if it bears the signature of Chas. H. Fletcher as it contains no opiates or narcotics of any kind. cOSS-Net Contents 15 Fluid Draohn U-WMW L 1 ri-'t*— Talgohol-3 per cent. i ! by Sj £»t ’ ting the Stomachs Cheerfulness and Resttorta®- neither Opium, Morphine nor MineraLNoT.s^° T I Jtu^fOdS^^ aJrralß /'amphnSab JlxSrana Knrrn ■ A helpful Remedy fcf Constipation and Diarrhoea and Feverishness and Loss OF resattin^rcfrom L «' Mancy Facsimile Sidnatoreof K i The Gentavr Gompake MSa NEWYQg&j copy of Wrapper. . ■ . •' A ' J/-’ . ■ . x .»• L SOLIKITOB Os GHITHANI ■ ISIS LIQUOR EVIDENCE Writes Secretary Daniels Fol lowing Complaint of Navy Chief SAVANNAH. £a.. Feb. 15.—Secretary Josephus Daniels, of the United States navy, has been requested by the solicitor of Chatham superior court to furnish the name of the person or persons who Informed him that liquor is being sold in large quantities in Savannah. It is not known whether Secretary Daniels has complied with this request. The im pression is that he has not. A few days ago Secretary Daniels re ceived a letter informing him that liquor was being sold in large quantities in Sa vannah, being brought up by boats from Jacksonville and thrown overboard In creeks and inlets around Savannah, where it was quickly recovered for sale in the city. Secretary Daniels wrote Governor Hugh M. Dorsey conveying to him the information contained in his letter. Governor Dorsey wrote to Acting Mayor Wright, of Savannah, to Judge Meldrim, of Chatham superior court, and to the solicitor of Chatham superior court, quoting to them the letter he had re ceived from Secretary Daniels. Acting Mayor Wright is understood to have replied to the governor that in his opinion large quantities of liquor were being sold in Savannah, but it was up to the courts to stop It. Judge Meldrim and the solicitor are understood to have replied to the gov ernor that the prohibition laws were be ing enforced in Savannah with strict Letters from Prominent Physicianc addressed to Chas. 11. Fletcher. Dr. A. F. Peeler, of St. Louis, Mo., says: “I have prescribed your Castoria tn many cases and have always found It an efficient and speedy remedy.” Dr. Frederick D. Rogers, of Chicago, HI., says: I have found Fletcher’s Casjtoria very useful in the treatment of children’s complaints. Dr. William C. Bloomer, of Cleveland, Ohio, says: In my practice I am glad to recommend your Castoria, knowing it is perfectly harmless and always satisfactory. Dr. E. Down, of Philadelphia, says: "I have prescribed your Cas toria in my practice for many years with great satisfaction to myself and benefit to my patients.” Dr. Edward Parrish, of Brooklyn, N. Yj says: "I have used your Cas toria in my own household with good results, and have advised several patients to use it for its mild laxative effect and freedom from harm.” Dr. J. B. Elliott, of New York City, says: ‘Having during the past six years prescribed your Castoria for infantile stomach disorders, I most heartily commend its use. The formula contains nothing deleterious to the most delicate of children.” Dr. C. G. Sprague, of Omaha, Neb., says: "Your Castoria is an Ideal medicine for children, and I frequently prescribe it While Ido not advo- • cate the indiscriminate use of proprietary medicines,-yet Castoria is an exception for conditions which arise in the care of children.” Dr. J. A. Parker, of Kansr.s City, Mo., says: "Your Castoria holds the esteem of the medical profession in a manner held by no other proprie tary preparation. It is a sure and reliable medicine for Infants and chil dren. In fact, it is the universal household remedy for infantile ailments.” Dr. H. F. Merrill, of Augusta, Me., says: "Castoria is one of the very finest and most remarkable remedies for infants and children. In my opinion your Castoria has saved thousands from an early grave. I can furnish hundreds of testimonials from this locality as to its efficiency and merits.” GENUINE CASTORIA ALWAYS In Use For Over 30 Years The Kind You Have Always Bought C KMTAUm COM M EW VOR K CITY, Lt.
