AVIATOR PECK
KILLED By FALL.
Loses Control of Machine and
PlungeS to Earth.
WARNED NOT TO MAKE ASCENT
Air Puffy and Uncertain, but Plucky
Altman Braved the Danger, Only
TO Meet With Disaster
"SpiraE' Was Thrilling.

Chicago, Sept. 13.-Aviator Paul
Peck, twenty-four years olG and hold
er OF the American duration record,
was killed on the Cicero flying field by
fall of fifty feet in his biplane.
The accident occurred at 5:45
O'Clock in the afternoon and Peck was
rushed to the St Anthony de Padua
hospital. The gasoline tank tore loose
from its fastenings and crushed his
skull, while the engine, crashing
through the wreckage, broke both his
legs.
Peck is known as very careful avia-
tor and held the American record for
remaining in the air four hours and
thirty-three minutes.
Peck went into the air in spite Of
the customary posted warning from
Field Director Andrew Drew, caution
ing flyers against the puffy wind.
Peck thought the speed OF his BIZ
plane would be sufficient to carry him
through the gusts and puffs Of wind
that made capsizing appear likely to
The aviator who should dare the air.
Glenn l. Martin Of Los Angeles took
his eXtra-pOwered speed machine up
and had little difficulty in keeping
right side up. in spite of the wind.
Peck, believing his craft as speedy
as Martins, followed the Californian
into the air. He had made several cir
cles of the field and at 500 feet altitude
appeared to have gone well above the
worst Of the gusts. Then, in what avi-
atOrs On the field considered an i'll
judged maneuver, he began to spiral
down
The fiers below were astonished to
see how steepIy he banked the aero
plane up, while making circles Of so
great diameter, knowing that with his
small surfaced aeroplane the danger
from sliding siGewise into the cone"
of the spiral was so much greater
Their fears were shown to be justified
when the machine came within about
200 feet of the earth.
By this time the aeroplane was slip
ping inwardly at an alarming rate.
Using, too late, the tactics he should
have used farther up, Peck pulled up
on his elevator, then working as a rud-
der, SO steepIy was he banked, and
swung around in shorter circles; but
he had started too late to check the
terrific slipping.
Realizing this, he again, too late
once more, applied a restorative ma
neuver, by trying to dive headlong
into the low side" or toward the
lower wing, and, being only about fifty
feet above the ground, he smashed at
full speed directly to earth. Puffs of
wind. apparent to spectators, added to
his trouble and prevented all his eff
forts to right himself
The gasoline tank tore loose from
its fastenings and fell on his head and
neck, fracturing his skull and crush
ing his spine. The revolving motor
framework fell with a roar across his
legs and broke both of them. An auto
mobile rushed him to st. Anthony de
Padua hospital. where he died

ELECTRIC co. FILES SUIT
Milwaukee Public Service Company
Wants Decision Reducing Fares
Set Aside by Court.

Madison.-F'our suits were begun
in circuit court for Dane county by
the Milwaukee Electric Railway and
Light company against the railroad
commission to set aside the recent
order of the commission reducing
rates on the four divisions Of the
complainant company and imposing
other regulations.
The complainant prays that the
order be set aside and vacated, al
leging that its requirements impose
an unfair burden. In support of the
allegation it is set forth that the re-
duction of fares resulting from the
order will reduce the revenues of
the company by $171,700 per year.
Pending the hearing of the case
the company asks the court to grant
a temporary Injunction restraining
the enforcement of the order until
after the determination of the suits.

For Experts to Quarrel over.

When clearing out a garnet in his
official residence. the other day, the
new mayor Of Saint Armand Loirs ct
Cher, Central France, NJ. Emile Du-
mas, discovered a beautiful portrait
painted on wood Of Charles dam
boise, Duo de Chaumont, who was
governor of Milan in the reign of
Louis XII, and who died in 1911.
Experts state that the picture is
either by Leonardo da Vinci (painter
Of The Last Supper" from Milan,
and Of La Gioconda," lost from the
Louvre last year) or by Andrea del
Gobbo, one of da Vincis pupils.
There is already a picture of Charles
dAmboise, by del Gobbo, in the
