Belgian Aviator Killed.

BRUSSELS. August 4.-Falling from a
great height Nicholas Kinet, the Belgian
aviator, was instantly killed yesterday
afternoon. Only three weeks ago his
cousin, Daniel ,kinet, one of the best
known of the foreign aeronauts, was
killed in similar manner at Client.

Model Pleased Mccormick.

Several months ago Mr.. Romme sub
mitted model Of his invention to MIR.
Mccormick. an enthusiast over aero
nautics. Mr.. Mccormick is the son OF
the late Cyrus Mccormick, inventor OF
the reaping machine that made farming
more profitable in the west. He inherits
much of his fathers inventive genius,
and had himself been experimenting with
aerOplane models. What Mr.. Romme
showed him caught his eye at once.
After the plans were studied and pass
ed on by Mr.. McCormicks engineers and
pronounced practical he agreed to back
Romme in exploiting the machine. Then
the corporation was organized. which
may eventually control air navigation.
Mr.. Mccormick has ordered one of the
machines, and the inventor asserts he
has orders for two more.

AVIATOR DASHED TO DEATH

STANFORD. Conn, August 4.-That
the Rockefeller interests are after con-
troll of the air seems a fair conclusion
from facts made public here in connec-
ton with a monoplane in course of
construction under the direction of
William S. Romme, New York in
ventor.
A corporation has been formed by
Mr. Romme to exploit the machine. and
behind the corporation are the millions
of Harold F. Mccormick of Chicago,
son-in-law of John D. Rockefeller, and
an officer of the International Har-
vester trust. John d. Rockefeller jr.,
is said to be an officer of the corpora
ton, too; but this could not be ascer-
tain definitely. 1t is known that the
corporation was organized under the
laws of Illinois; that Mr.. Romme is
president, Mr.. Mccormick vice presi-
dent and John A. Chapman, a Chicago
man interested in Mccormick enter
priseS, treasurer. 1t is understood that
John D. Rockefeller. jr.. is secretary,
but this point cannot be established
definitely.
