DOWN WITH A CRASH.
Would be Aviator Wrecks Curtiss Aero
plane and Narrowly Escapes Death.

New York, July 1S-A novice at fiyina,
sitting like wooden man. went mp be-
fore breakfast today in Glenn Curtiss'
aeroplane, lowered moment in mid air
and then crashed to earth. The beautiful
craft in which Curtiss made a remark
able flight of about 30 miles yesterday
was badly wrecked and the student of
aviation was lifted unconscious from the
twisted frame, his left arm broken, his
left thumb dislocated. his body bruised
and his brain Keeling. His injuries. how
ever, are not serious and tonight he is
in the Nashua hospital. while the aero
plane rests in its tent awaiting repairs.
The accident occurred on Hampstead
plains, l.. l.. where Curtiss has been Civ
ing demonstra tions for the New York
Aeronautic Society," to which he recently
sold his aeroplane. 1t was a member of
the society, Alexander williams. ~ years
old who was injured.
1t was his first attempt to fly. When
the machine had attained height Of 80
feet the craft careened sharply to the
right swooped toward the earth and,
striking on end. turned nearly over. Will
liams remained in his seat until lifted
out He was delirious and muttered that
someone had collided with him.
Mr.. Curtiss in explaining Williams' ac-
cident said the novice sat apparently mo-
tionless. failing to move his body as was
necessary in making the curves as no
scared up to a height of 40 feet. The de,
scent was not rapid. but the impact was
| sufficient to shatter a number of ribs,
break both the left and right wing tips
and the front control When 1t reeled
over the engine continued to work and
the propeller was shattered as it struck
the ground. A weeks work at least will
be required to patch up the flyer.
The Aeronautic Society had paid 5000
for the aeroplane and Curtiss agreed to
instruct the members i'm it's use.

journey through the wilderness of con-
flicting political, local and commercial

been an imporiled wayfarer since the
beginning of the extraordinary SEES

dent Taft, Immediately upon his inaug-
uration nearly five months ago.
The conference committee is now
near the end OF its task, and its report
is expected to be completed in the last
part of this week. How long it will take

What will be the ultimate fate of the

varying conjecture, but the general
impression in quarters usually we'll IN
formed is that the report of the com
mittce will be adopted by both houses
and will reach the hands of the Presl-
cent early next week. Most people
here expcct that President Taft Will
sign the bill. He, himself, caused Il

night by the issue of what amounted
