From me Ifinun' bureau
Washington. June "a report OF the
death Of Ensign W. -. Blilingsley, in
Chesapeake Bay. which was received TO.
night by the Navy Department from
Lieutenant Adolphus Andrews, who OBJ
tanned the facts from Lieutenant Towers.
said that Ensign Bilingsley was AT tho
wheel taking instructions from Lieutcn-
ant Towers at the time the aeropl1ne
was wrecked Lieutenant Andrews re-
ports that Lieutenant Towers is seriously
injured internally and is in a critical
condition.
Captain Washington I. Chambers head
OF the aviation corps OF the Navy Depart
ment, returned To- Washington tonight
from Annapolis. where he investigated the
accident. IL attributed II TO the fact that
Ensign Billngsley was comparatively
novice. besides being unfamiliar with his
machine
The biplane I'm which the fatal fight
was made was an old Wright machine.
According to Captain Chambers, although
Ensign Billingsley was "A Wright flyer, he
had not familiarized himself with various
changes recently made In this machine.
Captain Chambers said the airshlp evi-
IDENTIFY struck "huky" atr which caused
tine tail Of the machine TO lift. There was
nothing forward To protect the men. and
Billingsey was thrown forward on his
control lever. and being very heavy mar
was unable to recover his balance and fell
clear Of the machine. Captain Chambers
thinks he was dead before he struck the
water.
Ensign Billingsley was born in Mssis-
sippl in 1887 and was appointed TO the
Naval Academy from his home state. lie
was graduated in 1909. The same year ne
was attached to the aviation corps He
was one Of the first officers detailed TO
instruction in the aviation class at the
Naval Academy.
Lieutenant Towers is native OF.
Georgia. He was born in 1855. was grad
uated from the Naval Academy in 1905
and was assigned 10 the aviation corps
last December.
The death OF Ensign Billingsey is the
first on the records OF the United States
naval aviation corps although ten officers
and men Of the army have been killed.
Yesterdays accident brings the number
OF fatalities due to aviation up TO 2s2.
or this total "a men have been killed
since January /.

The officer halted his story to wipe
the sweat from his ashy face, but went
on Immediately
When the aeroIlane had dropped
about nine hundred feet. the front
planes went down and under until the
ship had turned a complete somersault.
When it was half way over, it steadied
for Il minute. and the force Of the fall
was broken a little Then IT gathered
momentum again, and when it hit the
water there was "a terrific crash. But

showed that he probably was more
seriously injured than had been be

MOVE CINCINNATI
CARS UNDER GUARD
Police Ordered to Vigorously
Resist Attack and to Meet
Fire With Fire."

CINCINNATI. o.. May 14.-With
only three cars operating. and these
escorted by heavy police guard
over their entire route the strike of
the street car employees of the Cincin-
natl Traction Company today gave
every evidence of settling into long,
drawn-out siege.
No efforts were made by the strik-
ers or their sympathisers this morn
ing to interfere with the operation
of the three Avondale line cars that
left their barn at 3 o'clock hemmed
in on all sides by mounted patrolmen
and preceded and followed by police
automobiles filled with officers. The
cars operated slowly and carried no
passengers other than the men placed
upon them by the company
Mayor Hunt, in a statement. said
that during the day other cars would
probably bes put out on the different
lines and that they would be afforded
full police protection.
No word came from the strikers
headquarters today and what future
plans they may have, have been kept
secret. The situation, however, is
tense.

that Washington is impatient. Gov

He has intimated that he will gu

yesterday and did not do so.
The executive Office has announced
that the message to Mr.. Bryan would

belief prevails that ne viii send

viii bring the Japanese question to
a crisis
Mere press Of other business is the
reason which the governor has as
signed for delaying his action on this
important matter. He refuses TO dis
cuss the land bill, on which his opin-
ions are already well known.
cahfornians are more than ever
wrought up by the agitation over the

dunn will surely be brought into ac-
ton in case the bill is signed.

PATERSON, N. j., May 14.-Train
wreckers will be shot on sight, ac-
cording to orders issued to the detec-
tives and detuties patrolling the
tracks Of the Erie railroad in Bergen
and Passaic counties, near Paterson.
Not satisfied with the guard furnished
by the counties and cities, the rail-
road has scattered detectives from
the Hackensack river bridge.
The railroad officials hold the Pat
erson strikers at fault for the attempts
to wreck the train, but this is denied
by the strike leaders. Big Bill Hay
ward said today that the attempts to
wreck the trains were the work of
"hirelings of the manufacturers,
possibly the detectives themselves"
A strict censorship has been placed
on the sale of dynamite in the city.
Every magazine In the region affect
ed by the silk strike is guarded.
Immediately upon the appearance
of a customer every dealer in high
explosives in Paterson and vicinity
calls in the police, and they make the
prospective buyer produce his license
and permit.
A heavy guard, with orders to shoot
all prowlers. has been placed over the
magazine of George A. Myers. hard
ware dealer OF Fairlawn. Bergen
county. A determined attempt to
break into the magazine was foiled
only by the inner case of thick boiler
plate. The magazine held forty cases
of the explosive, each containing
nearly 100 sticks.
What is believed to have been a
pIan to dynamite the Erie railroad
bridge over Hohokus creek, east OF
Waldwick, was accidentally frus-
trated by a constable last night
Warning had been received that the
bridge might be blown up. The con-
stable came upon the men without
realizing they might be the plotters,
and contented himself with driving
them away.
The retrial of Patrick Quinlan, the

His 4-year-old brother the only
witness of his death, the parents of
Salgartra Luccono, 8 years old, of
725 Washington avenue, Belleville,
are today trying to learn just how
he came to be drowned in the lake
at Hillside Park, yesterday afternoon
The first intimation that anything
was wrong was received late in the
day when the younger brother came
running home and, in childish pratt
tie. poured out an incoherent story
about his brother and the park lake.
Becoming alarmed his parents sent
for help at once. and accompanied
by the child, the party hurried to the
lake, where the little boy pointed out
the place where his brother had dis
appeared After search of several
hours the lifeless body was found in
another part of the lake.
From what could be gathered, the
two youngsters, in spite of repeated
warnings from their parents and
from William E. II. Thaller, manager
of the park. had climbed into a boat.
with the intention of taking sail.
whether Salgartra lost his balance
and fell over Is a matter of conjec-
ture, as the park is not yet open for
the summer season. and there was
no one present with the exception Of
his brother.

the parents. whence it was removed
after being viewed by County Ply

able spirit in offering to undertake
the project, but concludes that the
additional public grants cannot be
made, unless the advantage to the

Internal Machine Delivered by
MaiI-SimiIar Devices Found
on Crowded Train.

LONDON, May IA business-like
bomb addressed to Henry Curtis Ben
nett, the police magistrate who is
hearing the charges against the suf-
fragette leaders, was delivered by a
letter-carrier at. Bow Street Police
Court today.
The package was marked "Immedi-
ate," but disliking the look of 1t, the
cautious court officer took it outside
and plunged it in pail of water.
When the package was opened It
was found to contain a tin tobacco
box bound with wire and filled with
gunpowder, shot and a cartridge.
Attached to the cap end of the cart
ridge was nail which, If it had been
struck, would have fired the bomb
and exploded its contents.
Suffragette bombs were found today
in one of the passenger cars of local
train running between Kingston -on-
Thames and London on the South
western railway. making the third
outrage of this kind on the same line
within two months.
on the arrival at Waterloo
terminus of the Kingston train
crowded with passengers on their way
to business, the conductor noticed IN
one Of the compartments three par
cells which aroused suspicion.
ON investigation two of them were
found to contain tin canisters filed
with combustibles and wrapped in
suffragette placards. No explosion
occurred and the bombs were handed
over to the police.
A militant ssuffragette arson
squad destroyed a large untenanted
residence. "The Highlands, at Sand
gate-on-Sea, near Folkestone. on the
English channel, last night.
Postcards addressed to the dis
honorable prime minister and to
the "dishonorable Reginald McKenna,
home secretary" were left lying
about on the premises.
There was also postcard bearing
the words. 1--WE hope this is not a
poor widows house."
Striking evidence of the extensive
operations of the militant suffragettes
and the bad effect on the women's
cause Of the oiItrages committed BY
them was given today on the resump-
ton of the hearing at Bow street
police court of the charges against
the suffragette leaders. They are
charged with infringement of the
malicious damage to property act.

cials testified as to the great damage
