CHICAGO, Aug. 16.-Attendance
dwindled today on account of the two
fatalities and the four minor acci-
dents, that might easily have proved
fatal, marred the success of the In
ternational Aviation Meet yesterday.
st. CroiX Johnstone, the best known
and most popular young aviator in the
country, was only recently married,
he was brother of Ralph Johnstone,
who was killed at Denver year ago,
and who met his death in a sensation
al plunge of Moissant monoplane
from an altitude of 900 feet. John
stones motor cut out when he was
high in the air. He dived straight
toward the lake with frightful veloc-
ity and fell out of his seat when the
machine was not more than 100 feet
from the water. He was crushed
and killed in the wreck, sinking with
it. His body was recovered today.
William R. Badger, driving Bald
win, was fatally injured when his
machine became uncomfortable while
he was flying close to the ground in
the north end of the field. He died
within an hour of fractured skull
and internal injuries.
Walter Brookins, whose chum
tombstone was, narrowly escaped
death for himself and his passenger,
Francis Winthrop Taylor, secretary
to Frankling MacVeigh, the secretary
Of the United States treasury. The
two men were thrown from their ma
chine as they struck the ground but
escaped without serious injuries.
Johnstone lost his life when he
plunged into the lake about a mile
from shore. The screams of half
million of Mortified spectators arose
when he plunged out of sight beneath
the surface of the water. This acci-
dent completely upset the nerves Of
the multitude, already strained to the
breaking point by the horrible death
Of Badger earlier in the afternoon.

EIKHART, Ind, Aug. 16.-Resum-
ing his flight eastward, Harry N.
Atwood, the Boston aviator, left here
at S:06 a. m. today bound toward To-
ledo. Atwood said he would probably
cover the 1873 miles from here to that
city by 2 p. M, and an hour later
would start for Sandusky, Ohio, fif-
ty-eight miles farther eastward,
where he was prepared to stop over
night.
Before starting the aviator said he
was not certain he would extend this
cross country flight as far as Boston
but he might end it at New York.
The trip from st. Louis to New York,
he said, would be sufficiently long
enough to establish new worlds rec
ord for cross country flight unless
he changed his plans, he asserted
that on reaching New York he would
pack up his biplane and ship it on to
Boston, by train, as he intended ia
participate in the aviation contest in
Boston on August 27. A change OF
plans however might yet result in his
continuing his flight from N. Y. to
Boston.
Discussing his experience in his air
craft in his cross country trip, At
wood said: am sure that when av-
iation becomes common it will add q
new viewpoint to life. Seen from q
machine the houses look as small as
dog kennels, towns appear to be clus-
ters of toy houses and rivers look
like brooks. Over towns the teinpera.
