Frank J. Terrell is KILLED at
Chesterfield

ing to wreck his aeroplane and
risk his life rather than endange.
er the lives of several hundred
Chesterfield people, Frank ].
Terrell, the aviator, met death
here this afternoon when his
machine was teleScopyd anI
and crashed to earth, buryinp
the driver beneath the maChin-
cry.
MIR. Terrell had been making
flights at the county fair here
this week and was scheduled to
make his Fast appearance at 3
o'clock this afternoon. He rose
without mishap from the track,
which was massed with people
on either side, He rapidly rose
to d height of about 500 feet and
flew to the edge of town, circled
and headed back toward the
fair grounds.
AS he appeared in sight ii was
seen that he was having trouble
with his engine.
The police had been unable
to hold back the crowd and the
track, on which he was to land,
was thronged with people. The
descent of the machine into the
crowd would have meant the
death of many persons.
Terrell quickly made the deci-
sion which cost him his life and
made him a hero. His engine
having stopped he gave the ma
chine a quick twist to the right
and with the aeroplane was hurl-
ed to the ground few feet from
the fence, against which the big
crowd was massed.
The following account was
given by the Advertiser:
,,a, "a, se.er
attempted his second flight and
had rised to a height of about
800 feet, when turning his ina
chine to re-Circuit the fair
grounds, making dip" as he
came, the machine collapsed and
fell crushing to the ground
where ii now lies a heap of shat
tered ruin.
The crowd witnessing the
flight numbered about 600 and
when the explosion occurred
and the machine darted sudden
ly downward. there went up a
great heart-renderihg cry from
the vast throng, for all knew
that the daring young aviator
had made hir last flight.
The machine reached the
ground in a cotton field adjoin
ing the fair grounds. 1t is
thought by many that Mr.. Ter
rell knew his machine had col
lapSed and was making an CT
fort to effect safe landing. II
is claimed by number that he
signalled. His body was terri
bly, mangled and crushed and
while he breathed once or
twice after striking the earth,
life was practically extinct. Drs.
Perry, Gardner and Teal were
quickly at his side and made
every effort possible but nolh
ing could be done.
Mr.. Terrell is survived by his
mother, who is eighty years oil
age and his wife-a bride oil
seven months. Mrs. Terrell
stood by her husband up to the
time of the flight on THURSDAY
and was the first one to gree
him when he landed safely.
All day Friday the devoted
young couple were promenad
ing the fair grounds together uJ

ported heavy naval guns to Ypres, and
the English shells and shrapnel caus-
ed enormous damage among our
troops.
AS the surrounding of the English
forces by our troops made itself more
and more felt, the English infantry
tried again and again to break
through our lines, particularly in the
vicinity of Becelaere, though without
success. In one of these attacks five
hundred English soldiers and twenty
officers fell into our hands.
"The English trenches were mostly
SO arranged as to be quite invisible to
the naked eye. When we had got into
the first trenches we we're astonished
at their systematic construction as
regards depth, side protection against
splintering of shells, breastwork and
flooring. The trenches were nearly
all excellently arranged for a long
stand. We were particularly aston
ished at the iron and steel work built
into the breastworks. The floors were
designed with an eye to maximum
comfort. Our men captured there
great store of excellent preserves, corn
beef and ham, and many also secured
one Of the shaving outfits which every
English soldier carries.
When we had taken a position 1t
frequently occurred that we found o

the very few living defenders. We
soon discovered that large number
of the dead were shamming and these

Sooner than we thought we were
upon the enemy. First we came upon
dead Englishman, then two wounded

prisoner. The prisoner naturally was
of great interest to our soldiers. Won

asked ourselves. An hour later some

CHINESE WRITE
BLOOD LETTER
TO j. s. CONSUL
(By Associated Press.)

PBKING, China, Dec. 1.-THE Am
erican Minister, Poul S. Reinsch, has
received several letters from Chinese
signed with their own blood. One or
two of them appeal for mediation with
the Japanese, others ask that America
attempt to cause cessation OF the war
In Europe. 1t is the custom of Chinese
to sign letters or even to write them
with their own blood In palce of ink,
when the reason for writing is grave
or nobly inspired. The saying is that
the writer "cut of finger and wrote
with his blood" but as a rule small
puncture in the skin supplies sufficient
blood for the writing Of letter,

chased them from these positions, and
the Second battalion joined in the pur-
suit down the valley. 1t was at the
period of the war when things turned
badly for the French. In Lorraine
as we'll as in Alsace the Germans coun-
ter attacked with strong reinforce
ments, and the French were obliged to
fall back.
Shielded by Grapevine Leaves.
The heavy artillery posted behind a
ridge covered by vineyards was in dam
ger, and the Second battalion was or
dered to hold the vineyard and pro-
tect the rear of the artillery at all cost.
They had no time to dig themselves in,
to conceal their position, ex-
cepting the leaves they tore from the
grape vines but they held the position
under an intense fire at a distance of
only 900 yards.
At o'clock in the afternoon the
heavy guns had been hauled safely
away, and the order came to retire.
The officer who brought the order
could find no officer to whom to de-
liver it. What was left of the COM
pany of ESQ chausseurs was in charge
of corporal; when they stood up to
be counted, after crawling back
through the vineyards out of the range
of the enemy's fire, there were only
25 left of the $50 all of the fifteen
were wounded. They were loaded in
to improvised ambulances, some of
them taken back on gun carriages as
far as Seraville. Here an impressive
array of officers awaited them; Gen.
du Carrieres de Castelnau, distin-
guished appearing man, with gray
mustache and goatee, stepped out and
greeted the survivors.
''My brave lads!" he cried.

them of a murder in the apartment Of
DR.. Tokoramo. al educated japanese.
At the Doctors house the trio find a
room full of his countrymen and a dead
woman. Two Of the japanese claim
responsibility for the murder. n be-
ing half witted. Llndner Is crazed by
the sight Of the slain woman, calling:
"Illona, Illona.' Ter, a chorus girl
friend OF %Illona's. bursts into the room
Historically. She points to Tokoramo
as the murderer, but Hironari steps
before the accusing finger, and the de-
tectiyes take him on the charge. Pre-
ceding the murder Illona, infatuated
with Tokoramo, visits his home with
Teri. but leaves shortly after. finding
him busy. Tokoramo Is warned by his
mentor, ~Joshikawa. against forming
any attachments before completing his
great work. Professor Bruck's impor-
tant research manuscript Is handled
by the japanese with considerable
uneasiness. The Nipronese, left alone,
surround themselves with the spirit Of
old Japan, when nlona appears, much
TO the discomfort of Tokoramo and his
guests. who Don depart. Illona's hero
worship strikes a responsive chord in
Tokoramo; but, realizing he is neglect

break with Illona. But this is easier
said than done; his owe Is stronger
than he thinks. She, in turn, becomes
the aggressor and proceeds to cast him
out of her life. In Il frenzy he stran-
giles her. His friends come at his call.
Tokoramo is told he must complete bis
work, while Hironari is selected TO
bear the blame for the murder. The
district attorney questions Joshikawa
and Tokoramo. The latter. filled with
remorse. reveals his part In the muir

Neither Of the others commented on

ogetically. 'but l must return to my

claimed and shook hands again. IF I
can help you do not fail to call on me.

his hand under his coat tails and
marched rapidly out Of the room. fol-

After the formal s~alutations Joshi-
kawa took a place beside the desk and
stood gravely studying the face Of the
young man.

asked.

piled Tokoramo in a dull voice. JOSH
