AVIATOR KELLY
KILLED BY FALL
Lost Control Of Engines and
Was Crushed by Wreck.

Lieut.. G. E. NJ. Kelly. Thirtieth In
fantry, was killed when about to aligh,
from an aeroplane oper rating under the
San Antonio as a member Of the army
aviators.
Lieut.. Kelly made his ascension at Ills
o'clock under the direction Of Aviator
Cofyn. Though a gusty wind Of high
velocity was blowing, he expected no
trouble in manipulating the machine.
After rounding the field four times,
Kelly prepared to land. He came up from
the east, circled about 100 feet above Gen.
Carter's division headquarters, and start
ed down to earth on a slant.
He struck the earth harder perhaps
than an expert airman would think wise.
The aeroplane bounded up in the air and
the propeller Immediately began to re-
volve at full speed. The jar had evi-
IDENTIFY turned the power switch on wide.
When the machine suddenly lifted in
answer to the propeller, Kelly could be
seen frantically pushing on the steering
wheel which in its lateral axis controls
the elevating planes He had lost con-
troll of the elevating planes entirely.
The aeroplane rose to a height Of forty
or fifty feet and staggered drunkenly
through the air for a distance Of 15o feet
or more. Then the left wing was sud-
denly depressed sharply and the machine
began to make a corkscrew dive toward
the ground.
The sharp tilt threw the aviator from
his seat or he made an attempt to jump.
His body was sent falling ahead Of the
aeroplane and an instant after 1t struck
the earth the machine piled up on the
ground partly upon the PROSTATE body.
His skull was crushed.

's.APPLAUSE, AND LAUGHTER"
DOT LITTLEPAGE'S SPEECH
Congressional Record Tells Graphically How We'll
Received Were Remarks by the West Virginian.

The speech Of Representtive Adam B.
Littlepage on the farmers free list bill.
delivered last week in the House, and
appearing yesterday in the Congressional
Record. caused lively interest among
those who enjoyed reading the autobiog.
raphy Of Mr.. Littlepage's life in the new
Congressional Directory. The account OF
Mr.. Littlepage's own life by himself was
produced in a manner that aroused the
admiration and interest of his colleagues.
Naturally. therefore. his utterance in re-
gard to TIA important tariff measure of
last week brought forth scrutiny, not to
say introspection Of a sort which may
or may not furnish material for the
crusade of Representative Clark, Of Flori-
da, in regard to extension of remarks
in the Record"
May 8. 1911, the date on which Mr.. Lit
tlepage delivered his speech in the House,
was a comparatively dull period The de-
some to most members, and unless some
thing special in the line Of oratory was
on the programme the House attendance
averaged scarcely more than a baker,
dozen during most OF these afternoons.
1t was a pleasure to Mr.. Littlepage's 8
friends yesterday to note that the at
tendance during his speech, though It
may have been small, was highly en-
thusiastic. 1t was easy to tell this by
a glance through the Lttlepage remarks
as they appeared in yesterdays issue OF
the Record after being held out for re-
vision. Not a laugh escaped and not a
stamp of applause went unrecorded in
that speech.
When scarcely away from the start
ing post, Mr. Littlepage sprung a few
sarcastic remarks concerning the Re-
publican antagonism Of the free list
bill. and brought forth three successive
burst of Applause on the Democratic
side" There must have been applause.
for the Record says so. A few seconds
later on the infectious oratory stirred
even some of the progressive minded
Republicans. for in the speech is in
