BADLY HURT,
ASBURY PARK

Asbury Park, N. j., Aug lit is
conceded today that had it not been fol-
the grit and dexterity of Walter A
Brookins his falling biplane would
have crashed down upon the crowded
grandstand instead of the group OF
men and boys in the field, and the
death list would probably have beer
q long one. AS it is, one of the vic.
tins Of the accident is not expected tc
live.
Brookins, the youthful pupil Of the
Wrights who on July 8 climbed to the
record height of 5,275 feet at Atlantic
City and then coasted safely to earth
with his power shut off, crashed tt
earth from a height of about fifty feel
during the first hour of the opening OF
the ten day aviation meet here. II
was the first time since aviation begar
to draw big crowds of onlookers that
an aeroplane has tumbled down on the
spectators.
OF the seven persons besides Brook
ms who were injured, George Bur

old, Is In 1.-THE most serious condition
He was crushed beneath the frame.
work Of the lower part of the mair
planes of the machine. His skull was
fractured and his hip broken. He was
removed to the Long Branch hospita.
in an automobile that had been parked
a few feet from the wreckage. The
boy probably will die.
When Brookins was found beneath
the -tangle of the tori plane fabric
and spllntered framework and wires
he lay on the sod of the aviation field
with his face in a pool of blood and
his right hand still ~grasping a steering
lever. He was thought to be dead as
he was dragged out of the wreck.
While being carried into the hospital
tent a few feet away, however, the
aviator began to groan and as DR.

WALTER A. BROOKINS.
pensary leaned over him in the hos.
pital tent Brookins asked weakly,
How did it happen?'
The doctors say that a superficial
examination showed that Brookins has
a broken nose, a severely lacerated
head and face, his eyes are closed and
he has general bruises about the body.
The doctors do not expect fatal results
from his fall.
Brookins says that his fall was due
to efforts he was making while de-
scending to avoid a crowd Of camera
men and other spectators grouped en-
the aviation field a few feet In front
of the north end of the uncovered
grand stand, which at this point was
solidly packed with people. When
about fifty feet over the heads of the
grand stand crowd the aeroplane was
seen to tip at what seemed to be
almost an angle of forty-ive degrees
as the aviator tried to swing his ma
chine in a sharp circle between the
grand stand and the knot of men ont
on the field

of the main planes the machine mo-
mentarily stood on edge in midair and

ments before were cheering the avi-

been confirmed and / wanted to
make him a present of them. The
man in charge did not know, but
just then another gentleman came
in from somewhere across the street
who told me that they did not keep
them.
Il then left this store and walked
slowly to the corner Of Smith street,
where l stopped for several min
utes as If waiting for a car.
Il was accosted by the young
girl whom l have since found out
to be Rose Hartung. The poor child
seemed to be SO excited that she
could hardly say anything, and as
for repeating the salutation she was
nowhere near right. After she had
accosted me I turned and said to
her, Why, you are far wrong, and
besides, where is your paper?' At
this she pulled a copy of the EVEN
ING NEWS from under her wooster
jacket, showing the same to me. She
then walked away, seeming satisfied
that 1t was Lucy she had accosted,
but had made a fizzle( of the whole
thing.
Right after this | was accosted
by the young man who proved to be
James j. Harrington. He came up
and gave me the salutation correct
ly, word for word. at the same time
displaying to my view a copy of the
EVENING NEWS.
Il at once acknowledged my iden-
tity, asking him to accompany me
to the NEWS office, which he was
nn1u ton n1nI - I0 ~ ~
office, where the news was made
known to d. P. Olmstead, and my
manager was sent for.
after this we went over to the
Office of Frank Neer, a notary pub
lie, where both Harrington and my
self made ~affidavtts as to the fair
ness of the play.
Il must say that | am glad to see
a needy person get the prize and
also n who was well deserving of
it, as James Harrington, I under
stand, was on the Job at all times
when many of the ones who should
have long been debarred from the
boosters club tried to discourage
this young man by telling him that
the game was lot right and there
nothing in It. At the same
time these same knockers, as they
are called nowadays, were devot-
ing all OF their spare time them
selves on the hunt. Harrington, be-
ing somewhat the wisest and a be-
lever In what is right and having
every confidence in the EVENING
NEWS, as his common sense taught
him that such a paper could not par
ticipate in anything except what is
strictly on the square, at all times
his search, and came out
a winner.

JAMES HARRINGTON
CAPTURES ELUSIVE LUCY
Continued from page IL

ed theoretically to reap the reward.
For several hours afterward tele-
phone and other calls poured into
the NEWS Office regarding informa-
ton about the capture, the where
abouts of the mysterious one at all
times during her stay here, and of
the methods she employed in evad-
Ing capture. The NEWS office was
beseiged with eager callers after the
capture, all keenly DESTROYS of get
ting a glimpse of the woman who
had baffled thousands by her shrewd-
ness in evading detection.
harrington worked hard for the
reward and Lucy considers he de-
served it. He started to work the
day Lucy" arrived in town and has
since e her a number of times, he
asserts, but lacked the courage to
approach her. Yesterday he picked
up what courage he lacked, after
having been assured that he was
tackling the right party, and he
pitched in to earn the reward. He
failed to produce a six months sub
scription receipt and consequently
received only s25 for his act.
The crowds that have swarmed
about Smith and state streets and
the numerous incidents that have
occurred on the streets the past week
gives evidence that the chase has
been q merry and interesting one.
Many of the fairer sex of the city
have been mistaken for the elusive
n and funny incidents resulted.
There were those who discredited
the announcement that the chase
would be strictly ION the level but
the doubling ones, it is believed,
have learned that it was. The con-
test was conducted along the fairest
lines and everybody was given an
equal chance at the reward.
OF course, in the beginning Lucy
made the capture most difficult. She
dressed up in such fashion as to
make it extremely difficult to detect
her. AS the days followed n the
time of the expiration of her stay
mere was drawing near, she took
greater chances. Yesterday she was
dressed In an ordinary blue skirt, a
white waist and picture hat. She
resembled most of the pictures OF
her that have been published in the
NEWS the past week.
There are many who would like
to get another look at this mystify-
ing woman who has escaped from
them. One man, who has been par,
ttcularly eager in the search, called
at the NEWS office shortly after the
capture yesterday and asked If she
was going to be placed on exhibition
somewhere. He appeared to be one
of the skeptical ones, for he wanted
to know If another woman had not
been working as Lucy" For the
benefit Of this chap and other per
sons of a similarly skeptical nature
we would say that there has been
but one woman working here as the
mysterious Elusive Lucy" With
her was her manager, who received
stories of her days travels and
brought them to the NEWS office
Owing to limited time, because OF
another engagement, ELUSIVE Lucy
will not be placed on exhibition.
