FALL

Famous Aviator Loses His Life at
Macon Fair GrOundsALOses Control
Of PIane-Machine Dips to Earth
in Sight of 5000 People and FLYER Is
Hurled to His Death.
Macon, Ga.,EEugene Ely, the we'll
known aviator was fatally injured at
kthe State fair grounds here shortly
after 3o'cIock this afternoon when his
aercpIane refused to rise after a sem
sational dip, and plunged with him so
feet to the earth.
In the presence of nearly 5000 peo-
pie he fell to the middle of the a
closure Of the mile track, almost clear
ing the machine by a desperate leap
that he made when he realized his
peril. His body was broken in a score
of places and he died IL minutes after
the fatal fall. just before the end he
regained consciousness and muttered

track enclosure, which he circuIed in
a few minutes, travelling at about 80
miles an hour. As he was completing
the circle he made one of his famous
dips, apparently to startIe the thou
sands beneath him who were watch
ing with straining eyes. he bird-like
machine shot down with tremendous
velocity and the crowd applauded,
thinking that the aviator would rise,
as he had done many times before.
But Ely seemed to lose his grip on the
lever, for the machine continued it's
downward plunge to the earth.
Aviator Jumped
Realizing his peril Ely released the
lever although and half jumped barely
clearing the aeroplane as it crashed
to the ground. 1t was demolished,
bits OF wood and metal flying hundreds
of feet. Ely struck with terrific force.
Scores of people rushed across the
track to where he lay to- offer him
aid. He WI tender1y removed from
beneath the wreckage which covered
him and carried to his hanger.
The vast crowd, excited and curious,
rushed forward, but was kept in order
by the policemen. Efforts were made
to resusciate the aviator, but he gain
ed consciousness only for a moment
before his death.
: Even in his unconscious state his
physical agony was manifest.
Ely left his wife in New York two
weeks ago to come to Macon to give
a series of flights for the George State
fair in his Curtiss bipTane. En- route
he stopped at Davenport. Iowa, to Wis

CONFERENCE To DISCUSS
COTTON BILLS OF LAD|NG
English and New Orleans Rep
reSentatives viii Meet on
Saturday Next

NEW ORLEANS. Aug. IA conference
on the validation of the cotton bills Of
lading is expected to take place here Sat-
urday between Mr.. Haight. an English
banker representing the Liverpool Cot
ton association. and foreign financial in
terests, and members of the New Orleans
committee. Col wexter, Villa Mason
Smith and A. Breton. r. l. Kent, of the
New York committee. was. unsuccessful
today in his efforts to effect conference
between Mr., Haight and others con-
cerned in New York at an early date.
The bills of lading question has been
a disturbing factor in the trade since the
Knight Yancey affair. Southern cotton
men and bankers refused to indorse the
central clearing house scheme proposed
at the New York difference last year.
and its revival at this time, before the
new season is barely begun, leads TO the
belief in cotton circles that foreign and
New York financial interests are at
tempting to take advantage OF the fact
thta large crop is to be marketed the
south not being in a position to dictate
the manner of marketing, as was the
case last season when a much smalier
crop was gathered and foreign spinners
needed the cotton.
1t is said here that the southern cotton
men and bankers will stand pat, and they
are waiting the arrival of Mr.. Haight
with much interest, as 1t is regarded as
the first move from the other side"
