Killing One Woman

HAMMONDSPORT. n. Y. Oct. 7.
Lincoln Beachey, flying a new aero
plane here today, struck the top OF
the United States navy's tent, on
which were a number of people, the
collision resulting In the death OF
Miss Ruth Hildreth and the serious
injury Of her sister. Dorothy.
. The young women are the daugh-
tiers of Mr.. and Mrs. William Hill

panied by Lieutenant p. N. L. Beiin-
ger, U. s. N, and Lieutenant Herbert
Richardson, u. S. N, they had climb
ed to the top of the nayy's field
hangar to watch Beachey's trial flights
with a new machine.
Beachey had made two successful
flights and was preparing to put away
the machine when the crowd urged
him to make II more trip.
Sailing out over the lake Beachey
flew for a short distance and then
headed for the field apparently 70
alight. The crowd assembled there
seems to have forced him TO swing
over the tent which he did not quite

young woman TO the ground.
Miss Hildreth struck on her head
on an automobile and died instantly,
Beachey's machine turned a halt
somersault and turned wrong side up
on the field near the tent, Beachey
suffered some slight abrasions and
bruised and very considerably from
shock.

GERMANY PROTESTS
AGAINST NEW Law
Five Per Cent Preferential May
Cause Complications With
Other Countries

WASHINGTON. Oct, T.-~The first
complication with any foreign govern
ment over the new tariff law came to-
day when Germany lodged a protest
with the state department against an
Interpretation In favor of American
ships of the five per cent preferential
clause in the Underwood statute.
The German government does not
suggest how the uncertainty that has
arisen over the ambiguity OF this
clause should be settled. out the pro-
test was interpreted as a suggestion
that she will ask that the clause be
submitted to arbitration If the con-
thought TO infringe her treaty rights
in any way.
1t is feared now that the German
protest is merely a f~orerunner of
many other complications with foreign
nations on account OF this clause In
the tariff bill, France already has
served notice that she Will retaliate
IL French vessels are Disseminated
against, but France Is on a different
footing than Germany and most OF
the other European countries because
she has no treaty guaranteeing equal
! treatment In this respect,
There are twenty-three Foreign
governments with which h United
States has treaties. hat similar

many.
Germany would like To see the first
Interpretation Of the llaw prevail be-
cause 1t would enable her TO ship
