POLICE RESCUE BRYAN
FIGURES IN "BlLLY" SUNDAYS
TEMPERANCE CRUSADE.
Ten Thousand Men Answer Appeal
for Recruits in Total Alb
stinence Army.

Philadelphia, March 16.-As a
climax to temperance demonstration
in the BILLY" Sunday tabernacle last
night, an appeal by Secretary of
State Bryan for recruits in a total
abstinence army was answered by TO-
900 men.
Coming at the close of one of the
most remarkable speeches in his ca
reer as a temperance advocate, Sec
rotary Bryan was literally swept off
his feet by the thousands who rushed
down the "sawdust' trails in response
to his appeal for signers to the pledge
cards. In the scramble to enlist in
the temperance army the secretary
was caught in the middle of the fight
ing, pushing, shouting, perspiring
throng and finally rescued by de-
tail of police summoned from near
by station.
Lashed into a frenzy of enthusiasm
by Secretary Bryan's arraignment Of
the liquor traffic and its terrible re-
suits, the throng loudly cheered the
speaker.
Kneeling on the platform beside the
pulpit, Secretary Bryan enueavored,
pen in hand, to keep pace with the
temperance converts" as they filed
down upon him. For half an hour he
autographed pledge cards, but he soon
found himself the center Of surging
mob when part of the crowd swept
into the choir loft and came upon
him with flank movement. Then the
police arrived and whisked the secre-
tary outside to safety. The assem-
blage was nonsectaran and nonpolit-
ical.

LINCOLN BEACHEY
KILLED At FAIR
Worlds Greatest Flyer Falls to
Death in MonopIane.
WINGS FAIL IN DARING FALL
Drops Into Bay OF San Francisco
Thousands See Accident-Body
Found in Mud Forty Feet
Under Water.

San Francisco, March 16.-Death
came to Lincoln Beachey, world-famed
aviator, Sunday afternoon, when he
dropped through the air for $500
feet, before thousands of spectators
at the Panama Pacific International
exposition. The accident which ended
the life OF the man who had dehed
death so long came when the wings
Of his new monoplane collapsed while
Beachey was attempting to right the
machine after a perpendicular drop
through space of several hundred feet
The stress on the new monoplane
was too great and one of the wings
was seen to fly upward like that OF
wounded bird. In a flash the second
wing of the monoplane gave way and
the shining engine and propeller
blades cleaned in the sunshine as the
crippled machine fell.
There was no chance for escape, al
though Beachey and his collapsed
monoplane landed in the water OF
san Francisco bay. The force OF the
fail was so great that the machine
and its daring pilot were buried in
the mud OF the BAY in 40 feet OF
water. He struck the water near the
United States army transport docks
In a narrow patch Of water between
two transports swinging at anchor
Immediately a rescue crew was
dispatched from the battleship Ore
gon, which was lying in the stream.
After two hours the machine and body
were dug from the mud by a diver
from the Oregons crew. Beachey
was found entangled in the wires Of
the wrecked machine and all of the
bones in his body were broken.
Beachey was born March 3, 1887, in
San Francisco. His father is in the
Soldiers home at Dayton o., and his
mother lives at Morenci, Mich. When
he was thirteen years old he became
acquainted with a man who was try,
ing to solve the problem Of air naviga-
ton. They manufactured a balloon.
Beachey took the ipitial trip. 1t was
disappointing, and his partner became
discouraged and quit. In 1904 Beachey
drove a diriCibe balloon In Oakland,
Cal. Capt Thomas Baldwin engaged
him on the spot, and the two toured
the country.
With the dirigible Beachey made
many flights. He circled Washington
monument He landed in front OF the
White House in Washington and car
ried a message 10 the President
Beacheys first aeroplane was Of his
own manufacture. He broke up this
machine during flight Finally, get
ting a machine that would stand his
stunts. Beachey's career as a demon
Of the air began, One Of his first dare
devil feats was to fly under the sus-
pension bridge at Niagara Falls.
Beachey turned spirals while upside
down. 1t has been estimated that 90
600 900 have seen BeaChey fly,
