FLUNG TO DEATH
FROM AEROPLANE
Lefebvre, Daring Aviator, Killed
While Testing New Wright
Machine.

PARIS, Sept. 8.-Eugene Lefebvre.
who distinguished himself by his ma
nipulstion of n Wright birlane In the
Rheims aviation meeting. met death
last night in .Juvisy. when testing a
new Wright machine on behalf OF the
Aerial Company. which acts as the
selling agent for the Wright aeroplanes
in France. pas
Michael Clemeneeau. son of the for
mer Premier Of France, is the leading
agent of the company, and was present
when the accident occurred.
Lefebvre, after testing one machine.
took out a new one for a trial trip,
which was necessary before the COM
papy would accept 1t. The wind was
very light, not eight miles an hour.
Before starting the machine was mi
nutely examined and everything tested.
Fror two minutes It few az d height
of about ten yards, then, 70 the horror
of the few persons present, 1t was seen
to dive toward the ground. AS 1t
struck the earth the front dug deep
into the ground.
Lefebvre was found in the debris on
his back. unconscious. his feet against
the motor and his head under a mass
OF broken wood He was rushed to the
hospital connected with the Juvlsy
Aerodrome, but died soon afterward.
Those present are unable to account
for the accident. They believe 1t was
not due to the motor. for some say the
propellers continued to revolve as the
aerplane dived downward. Michael Gle
menceau says It certainly was not due
to any imprudence on the part Of Lee
febvre, for he never seemed so eau
tious. II is suggested that the wires
commanding the steering rudder. or
those attached to the ~elevating rudder,
broke. e
Lefebvre was % years OF. age. He
held an engineers diploma from Lille.
He taught himself to fly the Wright
machine In Holland. He was fourth

WITHOUT TRAIN FARE.
Max Oklander Was Assisted BY
State Officials.

Max oklander. of 1853 Btoome street,
went to Trenton yesterdayAto see the
Governor about several wrongs which
were depressing him and Which he
wanted righted.s He neglected 40 take
return car fare with him. n
After his audience. which might have
continued Indefinitely, Max discovered
that he was m%arooned in a strange
land among strangers, without the
price usually exacted by the railroad
companies for transportation from the
capital to the metropolis of the State.
He became so excited that someone
suggested a straight Jacket, but milder
counsels prevailed, and the good
natured office holders passed around
the hat and collected not only enough
to get Max home, but a little, more
for popcorn and maybe street car fare.

It has developed that New o
State had agreed to give this State

to the Naval Reserve of this State, is
Jersey in the naval pageant. They
pledged the necessary funds. too, to
provide a boat for Governor Fort and

The reason for the New York's anx-
ETY. TO have the Portsmouth in the

They want the vessel to be a stake
at Newburgh In the naval parade
If September rs. the day of the open
