MOST NOTED
ENGLISH AIR
MAN KILLED
C. 5. Rolls Dashed to Death
From His BipIane
Was Most Popular Aristocratic
Sportsman in Britain
Had Double Crossed the Brit
iSh Channel

Bournemouth, Eng, July 12.--Hon
G. s. Rolls, son Of Lord Llangatteclr
and the hero of the recent channel
flight from Dover to France and re-
turn, was killed this morning by a fall
while flying with his Wright bipiane,
The machine suddenly buckled up
while forty feet from the ground, was
overturned and the young aviator wa1
dashed to the earth.
Captain Rolls was 33 years old and
was one OF the most popular young
sportsmen in England His death will
be great blow to the aristocratie
sporting enthusiasts, with all Of whom
he was great personal favorite.
At ballooning, at motoring and later
in the field of aviation he had distin-
guished himself by his utter fearless
ness and was satisfied with nothing
short Of record breaking in whatever
line OF sport he took to. 81
Undoubtedly his browning feat was
his round trip across the channel, be-
tween Dover and Calias, in a Wright
biplane on June last. Two French
men, Louis Bleriot and Count DeLes-
seps, already had crossed the channel
and Huber Lathem had almost suc-
ceeded.
Channel flying was at discount in
England. because it was considered an
old story and also because the national
pride suffered from the monopoly of
| 1t by Frenchmen, when Rolls electri-
fed the entire kingdom by doubling the
accomplishments of his predecessors.
! The distance between Dover and
Calais is twenty-one miles, and when
Rolls did the round trip Of forty two
miles in 80 minutes without stopping,
his performance was a marvellous one
both for distance and time. Rolls was
as modest as he was daring and re-
ceived the congratulations which were
showered upon him after his great feat
with embarrassment.

Coincidence Who Wintered Here Is
Playing in Small Eastern Naude-

Lottie Gibson, the comedienne, lived
at the New Harper last winter while
her husband. Sully Dufree, was harpist
with the cafe orchestra there. The fol
lowing dispatch appearing in the Chi

with interest by local friends of the
couple:

Old time theater goers who recall
the inimitable little entertainer will be
touched at the irony of their favOrites
fate. She is no longer young. nor mas
she the twinkling toes of other days,
and her voice has lost much Of its
charm.
When LOttie ellison. a demure Penn
syivania girl made her debut quarter

and boarded in Rock Island. The Syl-

They were enjoying themselves in the
water Saturday afternoon when De
Mayer took the lead in venturing fur

accustomed TO going. He was 400 feet
from shore in shallow water when he

WAKES IN A CELL
Emil Erickson, Moline, Crate
full for Invitation to Take
a Ride.
DIDN'T RECOGNIZE PATROL
Recovered from Effects of His Cele-
bratiOn, He Tells Frank Story
and Is Discharged.

| Emil Erickson of Moline awoke this
morning in the police station in this
city, and to say that he was amazed is
putting it mildly. He remembered hav-
! ing come to this city yesterday 20
spend what little money he had in his
/ jeans, but outside of meeting a very
/ respectable man in a blue suit with
/ brass buttons and having accepted an
invitation to take a ride, he knew lit
[ tie of what had happened.
To the police magistrate this morn
ing he told his story in a rich Swedish
dialect which nearly caused the little
audience in the police court to split
with laughter He said he was employ
ed as an ice man, and that he is afraid
he will lose his job for being unable to
report for work this morning. He tried
! to get the police to telephone to the
boss that he was a little sick and that
he did not feel like working, but as far
as he knew the sergeant at the desk
had not complied with the request.
Asked to Take a Ride.
The prisoner explained in his own
peculiar way how it happened that he
came to be in Jail. He said he had
drank more than was good for him, but
not so much that he couldn't keep on
his feet and amble in a pretty straight
line. A friendly appearing fellow ap-
preached him and asked him if he
didn't want to take a ride, and as he
was pretty tired he accepted the invi-
tatiOn with alaCrity and the kind friend
sent for his wagon. II came, and the
prisoner says he was helped into it
and hauled TO the police station, fact
which he did not realize until this
morning. He had really done no harm
and the magistrate was inclined to be
easy with his as long as he was so
frank in owning UP to his shOrtcOm-
ings. and he was dismissed with orders
TO stay in Moline after this to get
drunk. He profusely thanked the mag
istrate and hurried away TO get back
on his ice wagon.

NO TIME LIKE THE OLD TIME

NO TIME LIKE THE OLD TIME.
There is no time like the old time
when you and l were young,
When the buds of April blossomed
and the birds of springtime sung!
The gardens brightest glories by sum
mer suns are nurSed,
But oh. the sweet, sweet viOlets, the
flowers that opened first!
There is no place like the old place,
where you and 1 were born.
Where we lifted first our eyelids on tn
splendors of the morn
From the milk-white breast that warm
ed, from the clinging arms that
Where the dear eyes glistened DER us
that will look on US no more!
There is no friend like the old friend,
who has shared our morning days,
No greeting like his welcome, no HON
age like his praise.
Fame is the scentless sunflower, with
gaudy harp of gold,
But friendship is the breeding rose,
with sweets in every fold.
There is no love like the old love, that
We courted in our pride;
Though the leaves are falling, falling
and we're fading side by side,
There are blossoms all around us with
the cOlors of the dawn,
And we live in borrowed sunshine
when the day star is withdrawn.
There are no times like the old times;
they shall never be forgot.
There is no place like the old place
keep green the dear old spot!
There are no friends like the old
friends-may heaven prolong their
lives:
There are no loves like the old loves
God bless our loving wives,
