AUTO DRIVER MEETS DEATH
Waiter DonneIIy Killed When Machine
Crashes into Fence During So
Mile Race at Milwaukee.

Milwaukee.-Concealed from the
spectators by the dust that blinded
him, Walter Donnelly, driver of Cino
car No. Is, was hurled to his death
at the state fair park, when his car
crashed through the fence at the
three-quarter post-the death turn.
1t was just as he rounded the
north turn of the track on the for
tieth lap of the fifty mile race, after
driving quarter of a mile with
fiat tire, that Donnelly lost control
OF the big racing machine. Had he
but listened to the warning of death
when rear tire exploded at the half
mile post he would have come
through all right. In the excite
ment, however, he did not heed the
warning and refused to slow down.
The machine tore down thirty feet
of the fence and was hurled fifty feet
from the track. The upper fence rail
struck Donnelly square in the fore
head, fracturing his skull in two
places. He died in a hospital an
hour later. Donnelly's wife and little
son witnessed the accident.

the wreck of the battleship Maine
was lowered until it is now fifteen
feet below the surface Of the water
in the harbor.
The work revealed the fact that the
explosion did damage to the midship
section of the vessel. The port deck
is bumped up and the side of the ship
beneath blown out This may mean
that the boilers were exploded by the
heat of flames which followed the
main upheavaL
On the main deck was found the
bones of two arms and the remnants
of a mans foot to which part of the
shoe was still clinging. These CHASTITY

In Other Worlds.

The suggestion, often made before
and repeated by Prof T. ]. ]. See in
his lecture that other worlds might
be Inhabited by other varieties of be-
ings than those found on earth-what
is there improbable about it?
Why should man, the product of
evolution, tracing his ancestry back
through reptiles and fishes, to the
atoms of space, dependent on the
sun for the energy that keeps his
bodily mechanism working, assume
himself to be the fire flower of the
universe?
What mOnstrous spectacle ex-
claimed Stevenson, is this man; the
disease of the agglutinated dust, lift
Ing alternate feet or lying drugged
with slumber; killing, feeding, grow
ing, bringing forth small copies OF
himself; grown upon with hair like
grass, fitted with eyes that move and
glitter in his face; a thing to set
children screaming!"
Mere smouldering fires of conscious
ness that only here and there, a few
times in a century, really burst forth
into fame, why should we suppose
that we are the best Il It the universe
can do?

THREE AvlaToRS
KILLED I'M FRANCE
Tragedy Marks Opening Of Big Euro
pean Flignt-FiVe Sirdmen
Are injured.

Paris. - The beginning at Vim
cennes of the greatest race through
the air ever witnessed was trag1cally
marked by the death of three av1ators
and the injury to five others, one prob
ably fatally. Over 200 spectators were
also more or less injured.
Sixty airmen mad been entered In
this contest, of whom fifty took wing,
in spite of the catastrophes with which
this, the greatest of European cross
country flights, was inaugurated.
Ten of the competitors were obliged
to abandon the contest for one reason
or another before they flew beyond the
confines of the park
The dead are:
Captain Princeteau. one of the most
distinguished French military aV1a-
tors. The motor of his monoplane,
which had been acting balky before
the start, exploded In midair within a
few minutes after his craft left the
ground. The benzine poured over the
unfortunate aviator, burning him to
death
M. LIE Martin, Bleriot's favorite and
most skilIful pilot. 1t was known that
the steering gear Of his craft was not
in order when he started Getting be-
yond control almost as soon as ne
rose, the monoplane collided with a
great oak tree The motor fell on the
aviator's head. crushing his skull
NJ Lendron, one of the most popular
airmen of France. He had flown 10
miles when the fuel of the reservoir OF
his monopIane exploded The machine
was entirely consumed and the avia-
tor was burned to death.
The scene of the start was the same
park in Vincennes where the late
French minister of war met death in
the Paris-Madrid flight start four
weeks ago. Here, also, Laffort and
Pola were killed in the wreck of their
Antoinette monoplane last December
The European race is for purse
totaling $4,000 The course leads
over France. Belgium, Holland and
England with two crossings of the
English channel The end, as the be-
ginning, is at Vincennes. The total
distance is about $50 miles. On ac-
count of the favorable topography OF
the country it was predicted that this
would be the most successful as well
as the least dangerous Of all cross
country European races.
Nearly all the famous aviators of
Europe were entered and made their
starts For America especial interest
centers in little Roland Garros, the
hero of the Paris-Rome flight, who
started In spite of the contrary &C
tons of his monoplane.
