TURNS SOMERsAULT
AT A GREAT HEIGHT AND

FORE HORROR STRICKEN
CROWD - AERONAUT FA-
TALLY HURT.

(By United Press Leased Wire.)
RHEIMS, Aug. 25.-While the
immense crowd at Bethany plains
gazed horrorstricken, the aero
plane being driven by Henri Four
nier suddenly "buckled" this af-
ternoon, turned complete somer-
sault in the air and drove down
a great height directly to the
ground, where 1t was shattered,
and Fournier seriously injured.
No sooner had the aeropla lie
struck the earth than a hundred
willing hands tore away the twist
ed steel and splintered wood and
exit icated the unfortunate Aero
pianist from the smashed machine.
He was Immediately placed under
the care of physicians who were
on the grounds. The extent OF his
injuries are unknown as yet and
but meager reports are given out
by the doctors.
Women Faint.
When the machine bearing
Fournier crashed to earth, a num-
ber of women tainted, and the po-
lice had much trouble with the
people present to restrain them
from pouring out into the field.
Fournier was dazed when taken
from the wreckage. He stated
that a wire supporting one of the
wings parted which caused the ma
chine to buckle and throw the bl.
plane beyond control.
This is the first accident that
has thus far marked the progress
Of the aviation contests.
Yesterday: Fournier offered TO
take Nat Goodwin, the actor, for
an aerial trip but Goodwin refus-
ed to accompany him.
At $3.50 this afternoon Paulham
had been in the air two hours and
thirty minutes, and there was no
Indication that he intended stop

seconds.
Paulham is flying with a voisin
bi-plane which is Of the same
make as the one used by Sommers
when he made his worlds record.

the King county commissioners for
announcing their inability to care
for federal prisoners. saying in

IF this county cannot care for
United States prisoners then this

to some other county and the court
will hear the cases where the pris-

BUNC()ED
OUT Of
$500
Young Man Robbed
of His Savings
by Confidence
Workers

William Denning, "a years old.
Tor several years an employe at
the Tacoma smelter, has lost faith
In alluring advertisements, attrac-
tive advantages and plausible
strangers. II cost him 5000 Ia
cold cash to get the experiences
and he does not think 1t is worth
the price.
Denning is hard working
youth. He saved his money. Ho
had visions of some day throwing
aside the garb of laborer and en-
tering the field as captain of in
dustry. He read the papers, but
instead of paying close attention
to the police news 1t was the clas-
sified ads that he scanned, while
he waited for opportunity to
knock at his door.
Seemed to Hear Knock.
Denning seemed to hear the
knocking last Sunday when he
read that a young man with from
$500 to $1,000 in money would
be given the opportunity of ais
life to get rich quick. He ans
wered the "ad" and met the adyer-
tiser. The man was a capitalist,
Just a notch or two below John D.
Rockefeller and Morgan, but nm
nearly all his ready
cash was tied up In gigantic un-
dertakings. He wanted to enlist
young blood with him, but ne
wanted someone whom he could
trust. He offered Denning SIS a
day and expenses as a starter. But
that was nothing to what he could
make in month or so.
A second meeting was arranged
and at that another young man
was present. The capitalist could
use both of them, but It would be-
necessary for them to put up a
cash bond until he could look into
the matter of form. The other
young man was willing. and hand
ed over his money. Denning did
not like to part with the money
for which he had worked SO hari.
Capitalist Indignant.
ut is not necessary" SAID the
capitalist. II cannot deal with
men of your stamp. There are a
number of other young men who
will be glad to jump at the OPP
portunity."
This frightened Denning and lie
pacificed the 'moneyed" man by
telling him that he would 60 10
the bank at once and get his 5000.
The next meeting took place at
the corner OF South Twenty-hfth
street and Pacific avenue at Z
O'clock yesterday afternoon.
Disappeared With Money.
Denning turned over hts money
to the capitalist" He was sent
to grocery store a block. away TO
get some cigars. When he return-
ed the men were missing
Then great fear came over
Denning. He rushed to the Bis
marck saloon on Pacific avenue
and told his story. He was re-
ferred to the patrolman on the
heat, who made every effort TO
get track OF the bunco men, But
they had made their getaway and
have not been apprehended.
