NOTED ENGLISH AVIATOR KILLED Captain Rolls Crushed to " Death in Fall. , , MEMBER OF THE NOBILITY Victim Was the Third Son of Lord Llangattreck and Recently Flew From Dover, Eng., to France and Return—Had Been a Leader in Ath- letic Sports Since His Graduation From College. London, July 13.—Hon. Charles Stewart Rolls, one of the foremost English aviators, a millionaire and a member of the gentry, who recently flew from Dover to France and return in'a Wright biplane, was killed by a fall from his aeroplane at the Bourne- mouth aviation meeting. Aviator Au de Mars fell at the same time and was seriously injured. Captain Rolls was competing for the “Lightning prize” when his ma- chine collapsed. He was not at a great height, but the wrecked ma chine and heavy motor fell on him, crushing out life almost instantly. The accident occurred directly in front of the grandstand and was wit- nessed by thousands of persons, among whom there was a panic as the lifeless body of the well known aviator was extricated from the ruins of his aeroplane. The terrific fall began wrenching the aeroplane into pieces long before it reached the ground and there de- scended a perfect hail storm of splin- ters. Captain Rolls struck the ground first and the heavy motor of his aero- plane, torn loose from the framework, fell upon him. He was dead when disentangled from the debris. Planned to Visit America. Captain Rolls, who was the third man to cross the English channel in a heavier than air machine, was one of the three members of the English team selected to go to the United States in October to take part in the International Dballoon race, starting from St. Louis in October, and later in the international aeroplane contests on Long Island. Captain Rolls used in his flight a ‘Wright short aeroplane, manufactured by the English company holding the patent rights on the Wright machine. Captain Rolls was the third son of Lord Llangattreck. He was born in London on Aug. 27, 1877, and edu- cated at Eton and Cambridge. His love for sports and the military start- ed in school, where he joined tl\e Cambridge bicycling team. As the younger son of a lord he Wwas intended ror the diplomatic serv- ice, but his taste ran toward mechan- ical and scientific pursuits and he was allowed to specialize in engineering. Rolls was a pioneer in automobiling, introducing a motor car here in 1896. He soon became famous as a daring automobilist in races both in Eng- land and on the Continent and was awarded a gold medal for his driving in the 1,000-mile race in 1900. In 1906 Rolls went in for ballooning and was soon a licensed pilot. He made 160 balloon ascensions and won the French Aero club’s medal for the longest balloon flight in 1906, from Paris to Shelbourne, Norfolk, Eng.

Stockholders of the Concern, Which Includes Many of the Leading Cap- italists of the City; Make Up a Fand of $1,000,000 to Cover the Defalca* tion—Accused Official ‘Had Been a Heavy Speculator for Years. Loulsville; July 13—At a “direttors’ meeting of the Fidelity Trust’ comm- pany it was announced that stock- holders' of the concern, which includes many of the leading capitalists of the city, had' made ' up a fund to-meet any to the company by reason of Cashier Ropke’s defalcations, up to $1,000,000; This would ‘seem to indicate that the exact amount of Ropke's défaléa- tions, which are thus made good, will' never be known, although rumoérs place it anywhere from $400,000 to $500,000. 3 President Barr, in a statement, says expert accountants have examined every security held by the company, Wwhether owned by estates or by the company, and they find all in per- fect condition. The statement con- tinues: “The depositors have and will fare equally well and the loss through Ropke's defalcation, although it may be quite large, will fall on the stock- holders alone.” Ropke, who spenit the night in jail, Wwas arraigned’in court. He appeared without counsel, walved examination and was held to the criminal court for trial Oct. 5. His bond of $25,000 was jco;fl.luued and he was returned to ail. ¥ Since his arrest it has come to light thdat Ropke’s speculation on' the New York Stock Exchange and in local brokerage houses and in the bucket shops amounted to hundreds of thou- sands of dollars annually. His oper- ations were so carefully concealed, however, that only a small part of them were generally known. It was currently reported among brokers that he won over $200,000 last year, but that he lost heavily this year. HISTORIC TAVERN DOOMED Hostelry Made Famous During the Revolutionary War.

St. Paul, July-13.—There is a feel- ing of optimism among commission men and jobbers over the crop situa- tion as a result of the recent rains. They admit the Dakotas will have only about half a wheat crop, al- though in some places the graim is heavier than'that. Hay in the northern part of the state has been benefited by the rain, although nearer St. Paul more rain will injure what has developed be- cause the farmers are gathering it. Rye and potatoes will be helped by the recent downfalls, according to most reports. Reports ' from land men in tha southwestern part of this state are to the effect that the corn crop will be the best in ten years. Cofvicted of Counterfeiting. Helena, Mcnt., July 13.—Joseph O.
