Seivers, making his last trip on the Cleveland-Pittsburgh route yesterday, barely escaped when a snowsquall forced him to take to his parachute and sent his plane crashing to the ground. Near here ice began to form on the wings and wires of the plane. Then the squall came up and the ship went out of control at an altitude of 2,000 feet. Selvers tried to jump at once, but the centrifugal force of the spin prevented him from breaking away until he was only 200 feet from the ground. He hit hard and was knocked unconscious. Last October he “stepped over the side” as his motor developed trouble near Beaver Falls, Pa. He had another narrow escape early this month when he was lost in a snowstorm over Cleve- land, but he managed to land in Edge- water Park. —_——— Wins Medal Contest.
