Bazaar, Kan., March 31. 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.

WILL USE HORSES
The construction work along the
section of highway No. 75 from Union
to Nebraska City, will be carried on
by horse drawn machinery as far as
possible according to Herbert Schwad
erer, state highway engineer for
Otoe and Cass counties. 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.
