STONE SNATCHED BACK FROM DEATH Aviator Owes His Life to Wife’s Persistence That He Wear a Life Preserver OTHER CLOSE CALLS AT CHICAGO Birdmen Did Not Want to Go Up Because of Weather Conditions, But Judges Insisted—Father’ of Aviator Johnstone Makes Protest Against This Form of Sport —Stone Rescued With Boat From Lake Michigan. Chicago, Aug. 16.—Arthur Stone, driver of a Queen mecoplane, was #natched back from death at the in- ternational aviation meet here today, after hopes for him had been given up. ' Gill Also Had Close Call. Howard Gill, in a baby Wright, came @alinost as close to death, but escaped unhurt under the wreck of his ma- chine. Beachey Carried Off by Wind. Lincoln Beachey, after being driven far to the south and ,ghtin ghi sway back above the field, glided 3,000 fect in safety to the arth, after his engine had stopped suddenly. Ward Rar Out Over Lake. James Ward had an equally hard task to make his way from far out over Lake Michigan, but descended safely in the field. Stone’s Machine in Lake. Stone’s machine fell into the lake just at dusk. He leaped from the fall- ing plane and was rescued, at the point of exhaustion, by a motor boat after he had supported himself in the water more than half an hour. His machine was not recovered. Wife Made Him Wear Life Preserver. That Stone was rescued was attrib- uted laregly to the insistence of his wife that he provide himself with a life preserver. Despite the order that all fiyers must wear life preservers, Stone and others started for their ma- chines without the safeguards. Mrs. Stone ran from the hangar just before ihe flight and made her husband wait until she had tied an inflated automo- Uile tire about his shoulders. ‘Birdmen Did Not Want to Fly. * Unnerved by the deiths yesterday of William R. Badger’ and St. Croix Johnstone and deterred by a high Wind, many of the fiyers here protest- ed against going up, and warned the contest committee that the asroplanes could not be controlled in the half gale that prevailed in the upper air. Judges Were Insistent. The judges were insistent and finally half a dozen flyers rose for a cross water race fro the shore around ihe Carter H. Harrison crib, three anr a Lalf miles out. Stone’s Fate Unknown for Some Time. Thomas Sopwith had completed the second lap of the race and been declar- ed winner. when a '‘Cry arose that Bione's machine had fallen into the waler and that the aviator was drown- ed. Later it was reported that Stone was afoat, 2nd then a rumor that a was bringing his body ashore, e of these could be verified, and < fate was unknown until Com- James Pugh’s motor boat Dis- 1I. reached the Chicago Yacht landing with Stone ali and Gill’'s Machine Topples Over. 1! providede the first feature of a Roman holiday when his machine sud- denly checked as it skimmed over the ground, after a perfect landing, top- Vlea over with great for Gill was pinioned beneath tangled . wires . and tait canv s, but before started syec- tators had reached him, he extricated himself. Construction Saved Gill. Gill probably owes his life to the new piece of construction in the baby Wright biplane. The engine, instead of resting in the rear of the aviator's seat, is fixed to one side. Gill was skimming over the turf at forty miles an hour. The wheels of his' machine struck a rut. The skid supports snap- ped and the machine toppled over headforemost. Attendance Much Smaller. The effect of Tuesday's tragedies was manifested, both upon aviators and spectators. There was a notice- ably smaller attendance. Even some of the free seats were unoccupied. On the field and at the hangars the flyers grouped and presented objections to further. flying. None Wanted to Go Up. Walter Brookins expressed the feel- ing of the others thus: “No individual dares to refuse to fly; his reputation as an aviator of daring and courage would be gone, and he would be branded a coward. Every man here feels the loss of Badger and Johnstone, and none wants to go up.” Results of the Events. Finally Ward, Beachey and Parmlee made flights. but the-wind made he flights difficult. Eventually the wind subsided and races were run over the pylon and cribb courses. Beach>y was an easy winner in the nine molc race around the pylons, fin- ishing in 528 2-5. Beachey also was unofficially accord- ed the day’s_altitude record, reaching a height of 7,076 feet. Thomas Sopwith won the 14 mile cross water flight in 17.02. “A MAGNIFICENT SLAUGHTER.” Father of Dead Aviator Mafes Strong Protest.

Swallowing Up Our Best Young Men. “T write in protest against this new Moloch that is swallowing up so many of the best of our young men. My boy who never gave his parents a mo- ment’s concern, and who was as brave as a lion, is dead, a sacrifice to his quality. He was @ tvpe of a dozen of others who are gone and dozens more now on the brink of the same sacri- ficial slaughter at this aviation mveet, which must suggest to the thousands of spectators a Roman gladiatorial arena. Society should endeavor to prevent this loss. It is perfectly ob- vious that these frail machines will break with a terrible strain put upon them; in the hands of the best mech- ancian motors will act erratically, break, stop. “Now let the inventive genius that has brought them to their present per- fection be attracted toward devising life preserving agencies.” DR.

Guy town daughter of the late A Belt Line Trolley Proposed Fellowing Appropriation for East Haddam Bridge. The recent action of the house in voling the money for a bridge at East Haddam has called attent to the fr ty of a troll ine from Middle town to the down county towns and the erection of the bridge may pross to be a factor in the building of the line. Middletown is the natural trading center for the people of the down county towns and with satisfactory trolley service they would coms here .o do about all of their tra Middletown merchants h: valued this trade and have taken steps to make it desirable for the peopls of the county towns to come here arnd spend their money. There s now a trolley line as far north as Essex and this line is to be extended to Chester, so that it would be necessary to build a line only from Middletown to Chester through a thickly populated country. The bridge at Fast Haddam would make possible the building of a lina to Moodus and perhaps a beit from East Haddam to Moodus, Hampton amd to Middletown. Tn's would give trolley connection with tha people of the bell town, another thin. 1t woul river s don with that has long been desired. open up the edst side of. th freer and easier communi the more populated west side. There are some who think that a bridge at East Haddam would make unnecessary the maintenance of a fer- ry at Hadlyme, but the bridgs at East ‘Haddam would offer no conveniencs to the Hadlyme people who wanted to £o_to points south of Chester. Better connection with the down river towns has besn wanted for a long time and it is something t iy bound to come. The most sibin plan seems to be to build trolley road and some have suggested thit this might be done hy inte ness men of all towns the count on the line of the proposed trolley. A line to Durham is in prospect. 1t has been understood that if the road from Meriden to Guilford is not built next year, the Consolidated road will acquire a right to build a direct road to Durham, with tracks now laid as far as Pameacha on the South Main Trolley cars comine into the city from Durham.
