Joe Moore, Hotel Clerk, Finds
His Package After He
AbandOns Visit.

Joe Moore, night clerk at the St.
Charles Hotel, missed out completely
yesterday on the Christmas vacation
that he had planned and was forced to
return to the Cape and night duty at
| the hote! because piece of luggage
was lost from the automobile of c..
+. Tinsley as Moore was on his way to
Allenville to take the train to see the
home folks.
The piece of luggage was Moore's
leather handbag and it contained all
the Christmas gifts he had planned to
give his relatives in Bollinger Coun-
| ty.
Moore was on the way to visit at
the home of his uncle and aunt, Mr..
! and Mrs. Harry Smith at Latin, Mo.
He planned to go to Allenville with
Mr.. Tinsley where at II o'clock yes
terday morning he would have boarded
the Iron Mountain Belmont Branch

the table where he could push his legs
under some home-coOking.
The automobile was loaded to the
guards. That is speaking literally,
for in addition TO the eight passen-
gers, there were only pieces of lug
gage and one truck that had to be
strapped OF placed some place on the
outside of the car.
Tinsley managed to get everything
in place and off the party started,
leaving the hotel at about $3.50 a. m.
Moore was in the front seat Of the
machine and as they were passing
through Haarig he noticed several
people on the street pointing at the
car in a manner to indicate that some
thing was wrong.
Tinsiey kicked on the brakes, when
Moore declared that something had
gone afoul, and on investigating in the
rear, it was found that j large lap
robe which had rested upon Mr..
Moore's handbag, was trailing along i'll
TIE roadway in the rear Of the car.
Luggage WAS counted and when
TinsIcy announced one was missing,
Moore had a presentiment that it must
be his bag. He conducted a personal
examination of the baggage that was
left and on being unable to identify
any of the bags as belonging to some
one else as his own, he declared he
would nave to stay at home.
Tinsley turned the car about and
rctraced their passage from the hotel,
all the members Of the party giving
careful scrutiny to the road. No bag
was discovered.
Moore then completed his arrange
ments to stay home in the Cape.
Last night he received a telephone
message that DR. Paul Williams had
picked the bag up shortly after it had
been thrown from the machine at
Spanish street and Good Hope and
Moore has made arrangements to re-
trieve his Christmas gift laden bag.

the bill prepared by the commission
o 80 members, which came up as a

Soon after the House convened, Rep
resentative Gunnar Bjornson, one Of
the supporters of the Efficiency and
economy measure, moved that the spe-
ctal order by postponed until Thursday
at Up. m. in order that the bill might
be officially printed
Representative Charles Warner of
Altkin made an amendment to the mo-
ton that the special order be laid over
until Monday.

While the friends of the original eff
ticiency and economy bill were pre-
pared for the move, it is understood
that many Of them became confused
as to the exact meaning of the motion
OF Mr.. Warner and before the roll CALI
had proceeded very far it was evident
that the motion would prevail over
whelmingly.
Then many Of them opposed to de-
laying the bill later than next Thurs-
day supported the amended motion.
Anticipating Mr.. Warmers move.
the friends of the bill broke in ahead
with a motion that the bill be made a
special order for Thursday afternoon.
This would bring the measure before
the house one day before the bills pre-.
pared by the Gordon committee
which are a special order for next Fri.
day.
The principal object of Mr.. Warmers
notion was to get action on the Cor.
don bills before the efficiency and eco

B:ACHEY FALLS 5000 FEET
AVIATOR KILLED AT PANAMA
PACIFIC EXPOSITION.
Attempts Perpendicular Drop While
High in Air-PIunges Into San
Francisco Bay.

San Francisco, March 16.-Lincolr
Beachey, the aviator, was killed while
making an exhibition flight at the
Panama-Pacific exposition. At an alti

his aeroplane collapsed and the ma

The aviator, tied fast to his machine

Beachey's spectacular career came
to its end in the presence of thousands
OF horror-stricken spectators, visitors
at the Panama-Pacific exposition.
Crowd is Electrified.
Beachey was completing his second
flight of the day when the accident
occurred. Having previously electri
fed the crowd with series of aerial
somersaults, the airman sought to add
an additional thrill by making one Of
the most sensational perpendicular
drops which usually featured his
flights.
The fatal fall is attributed to the
fact that for the first time, Beachey
attempted his sensational aerial &C
complishments in a mcnoplane.
An exceptionally large crowd had
saved for the climax. 1t proved toe

same breath-taking stunts in the new
machine that he had performed in his
trim little biplane.

On the first flight all went well and
the aviator's familiar tricks were in
dulged in with the exception of the
perpendicular drop. This Beachey had
saved for the climax 1t proved toe
much of strain for the frame of the
monoplane.
The machine was at an altitude OF
about 5000 feet when Beachey shut

feet it dropped head-on for the earth

graceful descent which had character.

few splintered fragments of the plane
showed the thousands who rushed to
the waterfront, where the unfortunate
aviators body lay, strapped in it's seat
forty feet beneath the surface of the
bay, which was brought to the surface
shortly after 5 o'clock.
Divers from the Oregon, searching
the shallow inshore waters Of the bay
found the crushed form of the airman
entangled in the twisted reds and torn
canvas of the machine. They freed the
body with axes and brought it to the
surface.
