Cross Continent
Mail Man Soon
To Wing His Way

WASHINGTON, Oct. e
Transportation of United States
mail across the continent by
aeroplane, over a designated
route, by special mail messen-
ger appointed by Postmaster
General Hitchcock, is a test that
will be undertaken this week.
Earle E. Ovington, who was
designated by Hitchcock to
carry the mails over a short
route between Nassau and
Brooklyn, is completing prepa-
rations for the transportation of
official mail across the continent
from New York to Los Angeles.
Postmaster General Hitchcock
issued an order today authoriz--
ing Ovington to act as mail
carrier and directing the post
master at New York to dispatch
letters via the acroplanc route.
A special mail messenger route
was established by the depart
ment. 1t is numbered Route
07,001," and is the longest mail
messenger route ever estab-
lished.
A special mail pouch has been
made, the ordinary pouch being
too cumbersome and unwieldy.
The pouch will contain letters
for Chicago delivery as we'll as
for delivery in Los Angeles.
The postmasters in both cities
have been instructed to receive
and handle the mail delivered by
Ovington.
The aeroplane will carry
small sign bearing the words,
u. S. mail. Ovington also
will carry his credentials from
Postmaster General Hitchcock,
which will insure him very
possible aid from postmasters
and postal officials.
Ovington has assured the
postofice department that he
will start from New York within
a day or two.

WHO CONQUERED
ROCKIES, KILLED
Youngest Licensed American
Birdman Is Dashed to Death
on Spokane Field


SPOKANE, Oct. Fresh from his
triumph of last Saturday. when he
crossed the Rocky mountains in sem
sational fight from Helena, Cromwell
Dixon, 10 year old Curtiss aviator, fell
to his death from height of about 100
feet at the Spokane interstate fair
grounds this afternoon. A mere hand
full of spectators witnessed the acci-
dent and thousands who were craning
their necks for glimpse of the aviator
did not know of the tragedy enacted
just out of their range of vision. Dixon
was removed to the emergency hospital
on the grounds. where he died As min
utes after the fall.
WAS TERRIBLY INJURED
witnesses saw Dixon bank his planes
for a turn. and 1t is thought a sudden
gust of wind .tripped' his machine,
already at an angle, causing 1t to
plunge, bow foremost, to the ground.
When picked up from under his
wrecked machine it was apparent his
injuries were fatal.
Death was pronounced due to concus-
sion of the brain and hemorrhage.
Dixon's leg also was broken and his
face was battered almost to pulp.
The plane was smashed to pieces.
Dixon was unconscious, and remained
so till he died.
WIDOWED MOTHER SURVIVES
]. w. Scott, manager of the Curtiss
Exhibition company, says Dixon was
one of the most promising of the
younger school of aviators. He held
pilots license No. Is, granted by the
Aero Club of America, which he won
August 81. He had been flying for the
company about eight weeks, and
learned the art at Nassau boulevard.
New Jersey. He was born in Column
bus, o., 10 years ago, but recently
moved to New York city. where his
widowed mother now survives him.
Although the youngest aviator with a
license, Dixon had already achieved
great things, his crossing Of the Rocky
mountains last Saturday being among
the most remarkable.
