was instantly killed and her sister,
Dorothy, aged IS, probably fatally in
jured, when a gust of wind drove Lin
coin Beachy's aeroplane down upon the
shed from the roof of which they were
watching the aviation meet on Curtiss
Field.
The announcement that Beachy, who
is well known here, would attempt to
emulate the aerial somersault recent
ly performed by the Frenchman, Pc
you'd, drew a crowd of some 700 per-
sons to the field About 2.15 Beachy
made his first ascent and swooped over
the field several times in his familiar
spectacular style. The Misses Hid
reth and their escorts, anxious to gain
a better view, climbed to the roof or
a small building used as the headquar-
tiers of the naval aviators. Beachy,
who knew the party, saluted them as
he few by and went on to the farther
corner of the field, where he turned
back.
AS the machine neared the party on
the roof on its return trip it was seen
to dip wildly. Before the party could
scramble to safety they were struck
by the rear plane and swept to the
ground
Machine Wrecked.
The machine careened, wildly strug-
gled upward a few feet and then
plunged about 80 feet to the ground,
crumpling up. Beachey struggled
from the wreckage practically I'M
hurt, and the attention of the on
lockers was directed to the Hildreth
sisters, both Of whom lay unconscious
where they had fallen.
Ruth, the elder. in falling, had
struck her head against the corner OF
an auto, leaving a gaping wound in
her temple. A physician among the
spectators rushed to her side and
turned a sad face to those around
him as he pronounced her beyond
human aid.
Dorothy Hildreth had suffered a
broken leg, broken arm and posi-
BILE internal injuries. In falling she
had struck her breast against an iron
tent stake She was removed to the
hospital at Bath. Her condition is
reported as extremely critical.
Their Escorts Bruised

son, escorts Of the two girls, who were
also thrown from the roof, escaped
with a few severe bruises.

the accident which marred his first APP

Philadelphia.-Cha Tower,

ages for &lleged alienation OF the af-
fections of Charlemagne Tower, Jr.,
the 26-year-old son of the former diplo-
mat, whom Mrs Tower says married
her on June Z, 1911.
The suit comes as a climax to re-
peated reports that young Tower had
been married while a student at Yale
and repeated denials by himself and
his parents of the marriage.
The younger Mrs. Tower is living
quietly with her mother, Mrs. George
A. Burdick, at the Netherlands Apart
ment House. Mr.. Towers home is
with his parents at 1913 Locust street.
