 Thomas Moissant and Archie Hox. sey, aviators extraordinary, were killed today, one in New Orleans and the other in Los Angeles, both by Puffs of wind close to the earth compared with the heights to which they were wont to soar.
 The last day of the year brought the total number of deaths to air men of thirty-five.
 Moissant was from Chicago, and led an adventurous life in Central America, many years before he be- came interested in aviation in France. Less than a year ago he won world wide fame by his plueky flight with passenger from Paris to London, across the English Channel, and ad- ded further laurels to his record by nis flight at Belmon Park, New York, around the Statue of Liberty, for a prize of $1O,OOO.
 Hoxsey had a year of uniform sue cess with the Wright biplane. He was gaining a name for reckless dar- ing, and was not satisfied within week of setting a new worlds al titude record of 11,474 feet, and out doing the fatal feat of Chavez in crossing the Alps, soaring more than 1000 feet above Mount Wilson. He dared the treacherous air currents, today, in an attempt to surpass his achievements, and in consequence lies dead at Pasadena, his home for eighteen of the twenty-six years of his life.

could retain control of their biplanes in wind so stiff that it blew them backwards. Last year, when Paul han scared a mile high in Los An geles, the world held its breath. Hox- sey more than doubled it. Two Americans did the same and two Europeans did better than 5000 feet within the year
 Glenn Curtiss, at Rheims, won the Bennett cup by a speed of 47.65 miles an hour. Graname- White took the cup back for 61 miles an hour. James Radley flew a mile in 47 minutes and 2-5 seconds. Leon Moran flew 6S.4 miles in 60 minutes. Cap tain Berlanger flew 100 miles in 70 minutes. For the Michelin prize, Clieslager, a Belgian, covered 244.44 miles in , hours and seconds. Ia buteau (Franee) beat him yesterday in a biplane, flying 462.66 miles in seven hours and 45 minutes. No long distance train in the world makes run of equal length without a stop.
 Treacherous Winds.
 LOS ANGELES, Cal, Dec 31. - Winds, whose treachery Archie Hox- sey so often defied, today killed the intrepid aviator. They flung him and his fragile machine out of the sky and crushed out his life upon the field from which he had risen short time before, laughing and promising to rise higher than any man ever before. Cross currents, whirled off by a vagrant storm, caught the biplane and hurled it 563 feet to the earth. Catching the machine in one of it's spiral glides, the warning winds sported with it

for moment, juggled it, and threw it down. When the field attendants reached the spot, Hoxsey was dead. His body was broken and twisted out of all semblanee to human form.
 The paragraph showed he had been up 7,142 feet. It is believed he en- countered the treaeherous currents, and decided to come down. He was performing a series of spiral glides, when the machine turned over. When the wreekage was cleared away the body was found firmly in the seal, his hands still upon the levers. The fall telescoped the biplane.
 Brookins, who originated the spiral glide, was standing in the press gal lery, talking to a reporter, when he heard the cry, "Hoxsey is falling!"
 He whirled around, saw the crash, and with the one word, "GOd," col lapsed in the roadway. He was com pletely unnerved and wept.
 When the announcer first yelled, "Hoxsey's all right!" Brookins shouted back, "Hoxsey's dead. I know it," and again burst into tears. Willard was also overcome and wept. He held that he predicted some accident because of the tsSwiss cheese" atmosphere.
 The crowd was remarkably quiet, and the souvenir hunter was ab- sent.
