CROSSES ALPS IN AEROPLANE
Daring Peruvian Aviator Accomplishes
Most Wonderful Feat, But Meets
f.. Disaster at End Of Flight.

Domodossola, Italy.-The great feat
of crossing the ~snow-capped Alpine
barrier between Switzerland and Italy
in a heavier than air machine was &C.
complished on Friday by George
Chaviz. the young Peruvian aviator.
The plucky hero of the exploit,
however, lies in the D~omodossola hos
pital badly injured as the result of an
accident that occurred just as he had
completed the most arduous and
nerve-racking portion of the task.
Both his legs are broken, his left
thigh is fractured and his body is bad
ly confused, but physicians are of the
opinion that these hurts will not prove
fatal.
The accident occurred as Chavez
was trying to make a landing here.
The Alps had been crossed success
fully and the aviator was descending
with the power Of his machine cut off.
When about thirty feet above the
ground. a sudden gust of wind seemed
to catch the %monoplane which turned
over and fell. When the crowds that
had been watching the descent ran up
they found Chavez lying bleeding and
unconscious beneath the twisted
wreckage. Willing hands lifted the
aviator from the ground and bore him
to the hospital.
Fifty miles away and over country
that has none of the hazards of the
Alps lay Milan, the goal Chavez was
seeking in an endeavor to win a prize
of 5000 offered by the Italian Avia-
ton society for the flight. Chavez
had lost the race.
Aviator Dies From Injuries.
Domodossola. Italy.-George Cha
vez. the Peruvian aviator who was in
jured in alighting after his flight
over the Alps, died at 2:25 o'clock
Tuesday afternoon.
