.AIRMAN'S DEATH
BLOCKS PROGRAM
Fatal Mishap to Benjamin Prinz
Causes PostponemeAt of
Other Ascensions.

ASBURY PARK, N. j., August Ia
Because of yesterdays fatality, wnen
Benjamin Prinz, balloonist of New
ark. was dashed to death from height
of 1000 feet there will be no ascen-
sions made by the dead mans com
rades at the aviation meet here to- day.
This was decided by the directors OF
the Aero Club. and 1t may be likely
that the balloon ascension Will be
eliminated from the program for the
rest of the meet. Fearing another
mishap, the club will not permit any
trial flights by amateurs on next Sat
urday, amateurs day.
II 10 not thought by the directors
of the club that the tragic. death of
Prinz. who was 20 years old. following
closely the accident Wednesday. when
twelve persons were injured, viii put
a damper on aviation here. Possibly
one hundred people saw the man tum-
BILE to his death from a parachute at
the close OF yesterdays performance.
The news of the fatality spread like
wild-fire along the coast. 1t was the
most thrilling. shocking spectacle I'm
aginabie to see the helpless victim
fall to the earth, struggling I'm his fran
tic efforts to avoid the terrible end
that he knew was soon to come as
he descended at terrific rate Of speed
to the ground.
The victims body will probably be
sent to the home Of his mother IN
Newark to-day.

Quoted here, because. 1t Is alleged, that
these preparations contain morphine

caine and chloroform.
The investigation by Health Officer
Levy has been brought about through
the numerous reports of infantfle pa
ralysis in Richmond. and in seeking
a cause Of this strange malady the idea
Of the alleged deadly remedies" has
given birth to grave suspicious.
In fact, there Is q crusade through
out the East against the many syrups
nearly all of which are well known to
every mother. A Philadelphia paper
this week reproduced photographs OF
the medicines. giving names of and ex-
act reproductions of the packages al
legged to contain the baby dope
In Washington, D. c.. District Health
Officer Keller is conducting an in
quiry into the Objectionable sleeping

crusade against the preparations will
shortly become nation wide.
1t Is maintained that even hasheesh

placed on the open market for trtou-
bles OF infancy.
Physicians are familiar with cases
where nurses have given children these
dangerous drugs in order to make them
