NAVY AVIATOR
DROPS INTO BAY
Companion CIings to RydrOaero-
plane and Drops Slowly.
ENSIGN B!LLINGSLEY KILLED.
The Machine, While Flying from An
napoIis to Claiborne, Was Caused
To Lurch BY Sudden Puff
OF Wind.

Annapolis, Md.-Ensign William D..
Billingsley, of the Navy Aviation
Corps, fell from a Wright hydro-aero-
plane at a height of 1,200 feet near
Kent Island and was killed. Lieut..
J. II. Towers, the ranking officer Of
the aviation camp, who was also in
the machine, managed to keep mis-
hold when a puff OF wind caught the
rear at ali altitude of 1,600 feet and
had a miraculous escape. He held
on until the water was struck, and
then. when his grip was broken, man
aged to swim back and fasten himself
to the framework until assistance
came.
The accident is the first serious one
which has taken place among navy
ayiators here, and that this did not re-
suit in the loss OF two lives is due
to the fortunate chance that the puff
of wind did not come until after Kent
Island had been passed The ma
chine had been down to ST. Michaels
and was on its way back. 1t had
sailed over Kent Island just four min
utes before, and if the drop had oc
CURED then both would have been
killed. Lieutenant Towers first
words when he was picked up were
that he owed his life to this chance
Desperate Effort in Air.
Towers grabbed at the steering
wheel in order to make desperate
effort to come back to equilibrium,
but this was impossible Then he
managed to get hold of the stanchion
and clung to this until the water was
struck Billingsley, apparently, was
unable to hold on very long after the
catapult to the perpendicular was
made, and fell out 400 feet from the
altitude at which the trouble oc.
Cured. Lieutenant Towers said la
ter that he could see his partner fall
ing below him, turning over and over,
and then hit the water with a mighty
splash some seconds before the ma
chine reached the surface
The fall probably broke every bone
in Billingsley's body, and it is prob,
able that he was dead before he hit
the water. The machine, however.
did not come straight down. Lieuten.
ant Towers kept his hold on the stan
chion, and when about 700 feet above
the water his weight caused re-
turn to nearly the normal position.
The planes partially caught the air,
and on the principle of the parachute
the fall was checked and the frame.

force.
This was responsible for Towers

ward Douglas White, OF the United

at Brown University, where he was
awarded an honorary degree OF doctor
of laws at the annual commencement
exercises.
The Chief Justice said in part:
THE very foundation of our free in
stitutions was the belief not in the
march of a triumphant democracy, not
in the march of popular feeling and
popular conduct unrestrained, but that
men could restrain themselves, that
great principles could be written into
our national life which could steer and
guide and restrain and hold us and
lead US on, free from anarchy, full OF
liberty, with life and property and
everything that blesses mankind saved
and secured. Look around in this
great land today.
Where is there a country like this?
The world has never seen the equal of
it. and the world will never see its en-
durance if the American people forget
the foundation principles of their free
institutions because of what they
imagine to be an evil here and an evil
there and seek to pull down the pillars
of the temple in order that they may
destroy what they suppose to be rat
within the house

which is growing in the land Many
thoughtless persons today suppose
that everything that is wrong is wrong
