ROGERS DROPS TO HIS DEATH
FIRST Man to Cross American Cont.
nent in AeropIane Killed by Falling
Into Surf at Long Beach.

Long Beach, Cal.-Calbraith P.
Rodgers, the first man to cross the
American continent in an aeroplane.
was killed here almost instantly at
S;15 p. m. Wednesday, when his
Wright biplane, in which he had been
soaring over the ocean, fell into the
SURF from height of 200 feet and he
was buried in the wreckage. His neck
was broken and his body mashed by
the engine of his machine. He lived
but a few minutes.
Rodgers for a week past had been
making daily flights here, and had
taken many passengers, both men
and women, up with him.
After making a number. of daring
maneuvers with his machine. Rod
gers was seen by hundreds of per-
sons on the pier to relax his hold on
the levers, and then, seemingly real
lzlng that he was in danger, he made
strenuous efforts to pull the nose of
MS machine into level position.
Failing in this, by herculean efforts
ne managed to turn his craft further
lnshore and an instant later the craft
crashed into the edge of the surf, not
800 feet from the spot where, on De-
cember 10 last, he had finished his
ocean-to-ocean flight. He was lifted
from the wreck. but died before he
could be removed to the hospital. Ex-
animation showed that Rodgers
neck jawbone and back had been
broken.
