Killed, Two Other Machine Injured. Mineola, L. 1., May 9.—Two air- planes, coming out of a mist to make a landing on the Keane flying field of the United States army, came into collision yesterday, and both machines were wrecked when they reached the ground. One cadet s ained injuries which caused his death and two others were severely hurt. Cadet John B. Erwin of West Point, Miss., who was killed, was alone in his machine, and was coming down at a steep angle through a haze when Ralph E. Jeramy of Emporia, Kan., and J. R. Vidmer, who were together in a machine, saw the other airplane almast directly above them. Fearing that the two machines would strike squarely, if they con- tinued their angle of flight Jeramy, who was then about 800 feet above the ground, attempted a descending loop. This apparently averted a full collision, but the tips of the wings of the two machines struck each other, throwing the planes out of full control. The machine piloted by Erwin fell heavil to the ground. Jeramy's machine was descending a sharp slope when he saw ing the ground for which his plane headed. He made frantic efforts to woid them and succeeded, but the sudden turn prevented him from mak- ; a fair landing, so that he and his companion were both hurt and their machine bhadly wrecked. Erwin was picked out of the wreck- age of his plane with a fractured sku!l, which caused his death later. Jeramy suffered internal and other injuries, and is in a serious way. Vidmer was only slightly hur Cadet 1t HITCHCOCK CHOSE Elected Chairman of Senate IToreign Relations Committee.

New in Eagles’ DRIVE A NAIL IN HAISER'S COFFIN Plan to Boofihriit Stamp Sale Would Yield $72,000 The construction of a casket for the burial of an effigy of Kaiser Wil- helm as a means for boosting the sale of Thrift Stamps is proposed by A. L. Smith of 58 Connecticut ave- nue. Mr. Smith proposes that the proper authorities approve such a plan as he has in mind and offers to { aid in the project. Mr. Smith’s suggests the construc- tion of a casket ten feet long and three feet square. He would have the surface marked off into squares so that when finished there would be points for driving 72,688 nails. The plan proposes that the casket be placed in a tent at Central Park with an attendant present. The attendant would sell Thrift Stamps and every purchaser of one dollar's worth would be permitted to drive a nail 1 in the Kkaiser’s coffin. The receipts from the sale would amount to $72 688 if all were sold. A live wire act- ing as a ballyhoo would do a thriv- ing busines Mr. 6mith suggests that Saturday afternoons and eve- nings a band playing at the park would attract a crowd. When the work of driving all the nails in the coffin was completed Mr. ‘Smith would have a public fu- neral. The date of the funeral would depend on the public support of the project. At that time an effigy would be made up and a suitable inscrip- tion plate would be put on the casket | and funeral services would be held. Mr. Smith anticipates there would be little expense in connection with the project as in his opinion the lum- ber and hardware dealers would cheerfully give up the necessary ma- terials. His sincerity and willingness to co-operate in this project is evi. denced by the fact that he offers te undertake the scheme and boost it along if the proper persons furnish the stamp salesmen and other attend. ants.
