Knute Rockne, Notre Dame football genius, plunged to his death with live fellow passengers and two pilots on a Trans continental and Westfn Air, Inc., air liner Tuesday in the niid-Kunsas grazing country near here. A mist that froze as it fell was blamed Tuesday night for the crash. The plane flew into a fine mist as it took-off from Kansas City. Weather conditions apparently became worse as the ship headed southward toward Wichita. The mist formed an ice and stuck to the plane. Witnesses who ar rived on the scene shortly after the crash said ice was on the ship when they reached it. The piano .California bound from Kansas City, crashed on a farm, kill ing all eight occupants instantly. Witnesses said the craft, flying through clouds and fog, lost a wing in the air and hurtled to the ground like a crippled bird. First reports that there had been an explosion in the air and that the wreckage burned proved unfounded. The dead: Knute Rockne. H. J. Christeusen, Chicago. J. K. Cooper, Chicago. W. B. Miller. Hartford, Conn. Spencer Goldthwaite, New York. C. A. Robrecht, Wheeling, W. Va. Robert Fry, pilot, Los An geles. Jess Mathias, pilot, Los An geles. The body of Rockne was identified by W. L,. White, sou of William Allen White of the Emporia Gazette. The famous coach boarded the plane Just before its departure from Kansas City in mist and rain, at 9:15 a. m. He was bound for Hollywood to corn- jplete arrangements for the making of a feature talking picture and sev eral short subjects. Misses Seeing Sons. By a margin of minutes he missed seeing his sons, Knute, Jr., 14. and Billy, 11, who arrived in Kansas City, where they are students at Pem broke school, at 8:15 a. m. They were returning from a visit with their mother at Coral Gables, Fla. 'Rockne was forced to leave the sta tion 20 minutes before their arrival tin order to reach the airport in time for bis plane's scheduled departure at 8:30. It was then held up 45 minutes by delayed mails. Mrs. Knute Rockne rushed from Miami Beach to her winter home in Coral Gables Tuesday after friends informed her of the death of her husband. Reservations on a train leaving Tuesday night for the Rockne home at South Bend, Ind.. were made for Mrs Rockne and two of the four children. The plane was in radio communica tion with the Kansas City airport un til sighted Cassoday. Kan., south west of Bazaar. It asked for weather conditions at Wichita. Then com munication was interrupted. This was approximately at the scene of tne crasn. Representatives of the Transcon tinental Western Air Lines left Kan sas City Tuesday afternoon for Bazaar. Kan., to investigate the plane crash. According to R. S. Bridges, local traffic manager of the T. W . A. smoking was permitted on the plane but he could not ascribe that as the cause of the fatal explosion and crash. Clarence McCracken and C. Car penter, ranch hands, saw the big ship rocket out of a fog bank, and spin to earth. Wing Tears Away. Describing the tragedy, McCrack en said he and Carpenter heard the plane above the clouds and glanced upward from their cattle feeding. A moment later the plane nosed through the clouds, fell into a spin and came roaring earthward. A wing tore away, Carpenter said, and flut tered to earth a quarter of a mile from the wreckage some moments later. Dr. Jacob Hinden, coroner, said four of the bodies were thrown clear of the plane. None, he said, was burned. The plane hit the soft earth half a mile from the ranch hands, one of the three motors burying itself. The eight bodies, so mutilated that identification was difficult, were tak en to Cotonwood Falls. A watch, stopped at 10:45 a. m., was found in the wreckage. In the wreckage. In addition to the 63 pounds and 6 ounces of mail carried by the plane, was found a Quantity of football equipment. No express had been carried and it was assumed by air line officials that it had been in the baggage of Rockne or of Hooper, a sporting goods sales man. Spencer Goldthwaite, 25, was an advertising man, flying to Pasadena, to visit his parents, Mr. and Mrs Edward S. Goldthwaite. W. B. Miller was an assistant sup erintendent of sales promotion of the Aeta Life Insurance Co. C. A. Robrecht was a produce mer chant of Wheeling W. Va., bound for Amarillo, Tex. Omaha Bee- News.

This will give more work for men in the pro ject and help out the unemployment situation. The equipment is being brought to the scene of the work east of Union and the work is expected to be got- I ten under way as soon as the v.eath er conditions permit. The grading on this part of the work will all be done by horse drawn machinery as far as possible. The road construction program of the state is expected to aid greatly in the reduction or the unemploy ment, especially if the projected 325. 000,000 gas tax loan bonds can be put in effect and which would hasten much cf the permanent road con struction program of the state. As Iowa has insisted on the em ployment of residents of that state on the various road projects, it is ex pected that the Nebraska highway l department will also follow this rule to give as much employment as pos sible to the residents of the local ities where the work is being done.
