LONG BEACH, Cal, April 3,--Cal-
bralth Z. Rodgers, the first man to
cross the American continent in an
aeroplane, was killed here almost in
stantly late today when his biplane
In which he had been soaring over
the ocean, fell from height of 200
feet and buried him in the wreck
His neck was broken and his body
badly smashed by the engine of his
machine. He lived but few mo-
ments.
Rodgers for week had been maxi
ing daily flights here, and tad taken
up with him many passengers, both
men and women. Today he started
from his usual place and scared out
over the ocean, crossing the pier and
then turned and dipped close to a
roller coaster In a beach amusement
park.
Seeing a flock of gulls disporting
themselves among u great shoal of
-sardlnes Just over the breakers, Rodg-
erss again turned and dived down into
them, scattering the seafowl in all
directions. Highly elated with the out
come of his diversions, Rodgers flew
farther to sea, all the time gradually
rising until he had reached height
of about 200 feet

dealing in any magical charms, de-
claring that he was farmer and a
fortune teller, using cards and read

ment made by the negress.
The "hoodoo doctor" however, as
serted that he effected complete
cures of illness by the use Of roots
and herbs and readily explained one
of his queer plans to restore health,
apparently OF his own invention. He
said one plan was to give the ailing
person a piece Of paper upon which
was written the following 25 letters
in five lines:

He explained that IL the patient
tore one letter, rolled 1t into pill
and swallowed 1t every time the pa
tient felt bad" he would be cured
at once Of disease, domestic troubles
or anything else.

in her downward plunge, it appear

A significant line in the Cape
Race dispatch was the announce
ment that of those saved by the
Carpathia nearly all were women
and children. Should it prove that
no other vessel picked up any pas
sengers Of the sinking liner this
might. mean that few OF the men on
board had been saved, as the pro-
portion of women and children
among the passengers was large.
