CODY, NOTED AVIATOR,
 KILLED WITH PUPIL
Victims Sons See Him Plunge
 to Earth.

Colonel F. s. Cody. the famous Angio-Amercan aviator, was killed in an aeroplane accident at Aldershot, England. Another aviator, Lieutenant W. Evans, who was flying with Cody as bis pupil, also met death.
 Cody was trying out a new aeroplane when he crashed to earth. The two men were nying over the open country, most of which is government land in the Adershot district, and had just reached Government House when their aeroplane was seen to be travelling badly and finally to fall. People who rushed to the spot found the dead bod les of Cody and Evans lying among the ruins of the machine.
 Cody's sons, Leon and Frank. were eye witnesses of the accident, which was attributed by spectators to the body of the craft proving too heavy for the wings. The machine, they say, appeared to crumple up the wings suddenly shooting upward and the whole structure collapsing.
