He SAVED HIS LIFE
BUT NOT HIS MACHINE
THE WRECK OF lATHAM'S AN.
ToINETTE
The Deadly Cross Currents on Frisco
Aviation Field

San Francisco, Jan. lO.-Hubert
| Latham, the young French bird-man
had a remarkable escape from death
on the San francisco aviation field
today. In a second flight this after
noon adverse wind conditions sent
him suddenly to the ground after he
had attained thirty feet. Alighting
precipitately at the lower end of the
field. he crashed into a barbed wire
fence, completely wrecking the An
toinette.
The boat-like body of the craft was
broken into three pieces. the breaks
being just in front and behind the
drivers seat
Latham sat still and escaped with
out scratch while the machine was
splintered about him. The engine
was badly damaged. both blades of
the propeller were snapped off short.
the planes were torn into strips and
one wheel of the running gear was
wrenched off. When an army ambu-
lance dashed up, Latham was found
ruefully inspecting the wreck and
putting hard at a cigarette.
Latham was distinctly blue" and
probably will not be able To partici-
pate further in the local meet His
mechanicianS later took more hope
full view and asserted that he might
be able to repair the machine for
Sunday
Today's exhibition developed no.
thing of a spectacular nature.
AS was the case on Sunday cross
currents Of air which met the avia-
tors when they cleared the north end
of the long grand stand made efforts
to navigate the air exceedingly haz-
ardOus. Again the monoplanes suf-
fered most. Like Latham, Radley in
his Bleriot had much difficulty in
the flight trials on his first appear
snce he was compelled to land after
covering about half a mile, but later
he essayed another flight with better
success.
Short exhibition flights were made
by Ely and Willard of the Curtiss
camp, and BroOKins and Parmalee
of the Wright forces. Parmalee
made the highest ascent of the meet,
attaining a height of 1850 feet which
is the altitude record for San Fran
cisco. Ely established a speed re-
cord of five laps. of the ~ kilometer
course negotiating the distance in 3
minutes, % 3-5 seconds.
The down -draught which wrought
havoc with Latham's Antoinette and
which is proving the bane of all avi-
ators, was responsible for the quick
descent made bV Willard TODAY at
the end of the field. He lighted in
a pool of water and the splash he
made was witnessed in the grand
stand. three quarters of a mile away
After his planes were dried out. Will
lard drove his machine back to the
hangers.

Montana Senator.

Helena. Mont, Jan. 10.-Sixteen re-

A TRAGEDY OFF CAPE COD
The Crews of Three Barges,
II Men, Were Drowned
as Their Vessels Broke
Up Before the Hammer
ing of the Waves.

Highland Light. Mass. Jan 10
| The worst disaster the lifeguards Of
the coast of Cape Cod had seen in
many years occurred today on the
sand bars off The Peaked Hills. They
stood on the beach with the life boats
| and other apparatus. unable to render
assistance while three coal carrying
barges were hurled to destruction and
all on board-17 men-lost their lives
in the surf.
The barges were the Treverton, the
Corbin and the Pine Forest. valued
together at $125.OOO. With the ex-
ception of Captain Brown, of the
TrevetOn, who lived in LincOlnville.
Maine. and Captain Hall, of the Pine
Forest, PrOvincetown. Massachusetts.
the drowned sailors were Philadelph-
ians.
AS the two barges, the TrevetOn
and Corbin. broke up quickly. it is
believed that twelve lives were lost
within an hour after the barges
| broke away from the tug Lykens this
! morning and went into the breakers.
! ing to the Pine Forest until mid-fOre-
noon. when, in attempting To reach
shore In their own little boat. they
were hurled into the pillows andNfOst
The tug Lykens started from Phila-
delphia last week with the TTever-
ton for Portland. the COrbin for
Portsmouth and the Pine Forest for
Marblehead
The Lykens. with her tow. was off
Nausett late in the evening. Later
she met the full force of the gale in
the arm of the cape. The life saw
ing patrol saw her standing off shore
to avoid the bars, but the darkness
blotted her out four hours before
dawn. The gale increased in fury and
about o'clock the long hawser
astern the tug parted. The Lykens
was then a mile or more to the west
ward of The Peaked Hill life saving
station.
The last watch Of the night patrol
was starting out from the station
when he discovered wreckage in the
breakers. The crew was quickly
summoned but it was too dark to
make out anything.
At dawn the stranded barge with a
single mast could be seen above the
breakers on the outer bar. while in
the offing lowered a tug which after
wards proved to be the Lykens.
The life savers soon realized that
no lifeboat could traverse those eight
hundred yards of pillows.
Two men were seen clinging to the
rigging and three others holding onto
the house. IL was apparent that the
other two barges had long since
broken up. The Lykens could not
render assistance. and started for
PrOvincetown.
Shortly before 10 o'clock the men
of the Pine Forest We're seen to gath
er i'm a group. Before those on the
beach reached their purpose. the sole
dOry on top Of the barge house had
been cut loose and launched. All
five men then tumbled in for the
last fight for life but before they
grasped the oars a big cOmber came
rolling around the stern of the barge
and over them. That was the end.

TO AHlNG WOMEN.
A Little Sound Advice VIII Help Many
Sufferer in Americas.

No woman can be healthy and we'll
if the kidneys are sick. Poisons that
pass off in the secretions when the
kidneys are well are retained in the
body when the kidneys are sick. Kid
neys and bladder become inflamed and
swollen and worse troubles quickly
follow. This is often the true cause
of bearing down pains, lameness, back
ache, sideache, etc. Uric acid poison
ing also causes headaches, dizzy spells,
languor, nervousness and rheumatie
pain.
When suffering so, try Doan's Kid
ney Pills, a remedy that cures sick
kidneys. You will get better as the
kidneys get better, and health will
return when the kidneys are well. Let
an Americas woman tell about Doan's
Kidney Pills.
Mrs. Allie L. Cobb, 2O5 Mayo ST.,
Amercus Ga, says:
81 suffered from kidney trouble for
several years. l was subject to at
tacks of pain in the small of my back

John Brown allowed his men to
sharpen their swords and kill five
unarmed men by cutting them to
