Of the District of Columbia, is due to
arrive at her berth here, at the foot OF
Water and O streets southwest. just

tween 4 and o'clock tomorrow after

to have the Sylvia relieved from her
duties here and to replace her with
one of the larger torpedo boats. III
order that a larger number OF men
may be taken out on the cruises. plans
for the regular Sunday cruises at this
time are being made for the Sylvia.
The letter making application for the
assignment of a torpedo boat was filed
with the Navy Department about a
week ago, and il is understood that
the division OF naval mllitia analrs
has given it's approval to the request.
However, Secretary Daniels has not
yet given his approval.
With the engines of the Sylvia in
prime condition it is expected that the
shin now will be able to make twelve
knots on her voyage to Washington.
This increased speed will also make ii
possible for the Sylvia to make longer
cruises on Sunday than heretofore.

BEACHEY DEATH STUNT
WAS NOT A NEW IDEA
Army Officers Prevented Aviator At
tempting Reckless Feat at
College Park.

Lincoln Reachcy's death might just
as well have occurred at College Park
4 few years ago. said army officer
connected with the aviation division.
AT that time he was contemplating &
Just the performance that resulted in
Ills recent death at San Francisco. 1t
will he recalled that he was ruled
out of flying government machines at
college Park ut that time on account
Of rcckIessncss- Whether this was to
protect Beachcy or the machines it is
hard to say. However, it served the
double purpose
Planned Stunt Here.
Seachey. at that time, was threat
ening to try just the stunt that re-
suited in the fatal accident. This was
before Pergou had commenced loop
ing-the-loop, and when flying upside
down was an unheard of performance.
Beachey at that time told some of the
soldiers al the park that he was going
III about 5000 feet, and intended to
make perpendicular head foremost
dive for about 1000 feet and then
stra ighten out. IL was something of
the same sort that soon Hfterward re-
suited in the death of Al Welsh and
Lieut.. Hazelhurst. They had made a
steep dive and intended to reverse the
course OF the machine quickly aud
Climb. in one of the government tests.
The strain the teroplane the re-
suit of the dive and the sudden turn
was too great and the engine section
was torn out of the lower plane wreck
ing the machine.
Biplanes Specially Strong.
1t is possible that if Beachey had
stuck to the biplane and had made a
dive of this sort alone he would have
gotten away with it, although the
strain on the machine was necessarily
terrible
However. Beachey was familiar with
hIplanc construction and knew just
about what any given machine would
stand. The reason that his machine
recently crumpled up with him was
that lie was flying n monoplane. This
was not rigid as the biplane. be-
cause. it lacked the bridge truss con-
struction that makes biplane par
ricularly strong piece of machinery.
1t would have been possible to build
rnonoplane that would have stood the
strain to which Beachey subjected his
machine but the makers of the aero
plane he was flying at the time of his
death had never contemplated any
such strain as that to which the dive
subjected it, Consequently, the MAJ |
chine was not sufficiently braced to
withstand such uses.

LONDON.-The story OF the
Execution of Miss Edith Cavell,
as told in the correspondence
sent by the American minister
at Brussels to the American am
bassador at London and printed
in the British morning papers, 1t
is predicted, will send a wave
of indignation throughout the
country.
In Trafalgar Square yesterday
all heads were barred to the mem
DRY of Miss Cayell. One speaker,
holding a wreath in his hand to
be placed on the plints of the
Nelson column to her memory,
exclaimed: "Who will ayenge
the murder of this splendid Eng
lish woman?" In response to this
appeal many new recruits came
forward.
The London papers character
ize the execution as the most
damnable crime of war.

LEE COUNTY NEGRO MAN
MAKES BIG CROP OF COTTON
Tenant Nets 81 800 on the Labor of
Himself and Wife.

SMITHVILLE.-A striking illus
tration of the possibilities of Lee
county soil and what an industrious
colored man can do on it is furnished
by the experience of Ike Ross, who
rented a two-horse farm from Jas.
S. Pryor, who cultiyates little en-
pire of his own consisting OF 5000
acres about five miles from Smith
vile.
Ike rented a pair of good mules
in addition to the land and had Mr..
Pryor advance him 1920 for sup
plies. He and his wife did all the
blowing and have been assisted i'll
the harvesting by two little girls
the elder being 16. Not a pound Of
fertilizer was used, but the prep
aration and cultivation of the lanI
we're characterized by rare industry
and thOroughness. The seasons here
as elsewhere were unfavorable, but
the crop shows the following:
Thirty full 500-pound bales of cot
ton: 500 bushels of corn; 20 bushels
OF peas; $500 bundles of fodder,
$50 bushels of sweet potatoes.
His Crop in Dollars.
At u cents per pound the cotton
represents value of $1,000; the
corn and fodder are worth approx
mately $500; the peas are valued at
$40 and the potatoes at $1OO-thuo
making total of $2,240. Under
the terms of the lease Ross receives
one-half of the entire crop, which 1T
may be clearly seen makes his gross
profit 1920. and leaves net some
thing like a profit of HOO on no in
yestment but the labor and industry
Of his wife and himself.
