afforded by the story of a commission

that the only pleasure they had was
throwing spears at the police. and as
they were forbidden to do it any more
they did not want to live.-London

Jones, the operator of the machine, sustained injuries from which he died on the way to the hospital Jones probably escaped serious injury by falling on the bodies of the othesr
 The machine. a biplane. had ascend ed from the Squatum aviation field. Flaming at a height of 100 feet, it was moving gracefully with it's three pas sengers when persons below saw it quiver Jones worked frantically with his control, but the machine dropped to earth on the estate of Lotta Crabtree, the former actress.
 Observers expressed the belief that one of the passengers interfered with Jones' operation of the biplane for a moment, causing 1t to become un- steady.
 William Ely, Jr.. was 19 years of age and had just completed his freshman only son of Capt. William D. Ely of Providence, R. I. He had been inter ested in aeroplanes for several years and had made numerous flights both in this country and at Tendon, Eng land, where he spent several weeks in 1912.
