RIFLE RANGES IN
IOWA ARE PLANNED

Des Noines. March 13.-Permanent
state rifle r1nges, where citizens can
be taught by national guard officers to
handle rifle, without cost to the citi-
zen, are being planned by the Iowa
military department. ~
At present the state leases range
for each company.
Several permanent ranges are being
planned. Adoption Of the plan rests
with congress, to which the recon-
mendations Of the state have been
made. 0-.. -E'g1.
Under the plan, any man Of military
ago, whether a member Of the national
guard or not, could use the ranges.
Instructors paid by the government
would direct the work and the govern
ment would furnish the rifles and am
munition.
Adjutant Gen. Guy e. Logan conceiv.
ed the idea that every 1owan OF mill
tary age should know how to shoot.
With proper facilities, he expects
thousands Of men not affiliated with
the militia to use the ranges. The
ranges are expected to cost from
$4,000 to $4,000 each and to have be-
tween IL and Is targets.
Negotiations are now being made for
the purchase of property for ranges at
Mason City and Burlington. Range
property was recently purchased at
Villisca and Des Moines and Iowa CITY
already have permanent facilities. Otn'
er properties will be purchased as rap
idly as the state department can make
the arrangements.

.|OWA's GREATEST
AVIATOR KILLED
oRiNNELL BlRDMEN, OUT FOR
NEW ALTITUDE RECORDS,
FALLS FROM THE SKY.

Grinnell. March 13.--Funeral serv-
ices over the remains of w. C. Robin
son, Grinnell's well known aviator,
will be held Tuesday morning. There
will be no coroner's inquest into the
accident which on Saturday cost the
Iowa flier his life. 1t Is the belief Of
physicians who examined the body
after it's $4,000 foot plunge, that heart
trouble OF the operator, rather than
trouble with the aeroplane, was the
primary cause of the fall. Robinson
started out Saturday afternoon to set
new altitude record.
Witnesses estimated the height of
which Robinson was flying at $4,000
feet. While flying at that height the
machine appeared to waver and
started to fall. Evidently realizing,
his danger Robinson endeavored to
volplane gradually to the earth and
for more than 500 feet succeeded in
holding the machine in its spiral,
gliding course. The next 500 feet,
according to witnesses, was marked
by series of fluttering drops at the
end of which Robinson would succeed
in righting the machine for moment.
When 300 feet from the ground, how
ever, he lost control completely and
the machine darted to the earth.
As the machine struck the ground
the petrol tank exploded and the re-
sultant fire destroyed the plane and
burned the aviator's body almost be-
yond recognition.
The accident occurred near Ewart,
ten miles from this city.
The dead aviator was known as a
cautious flyer and avoided the spec
tacular feate which characterized the
performances Of his contemporary,
Lincoln Beachey
Robinson was 80 years old and is
survived by his widow and four chill
dren. He. had lived at Grinnell prac-
tically all his life He had been in
the flying game about six years and
was holder Of the American record
for sustained flight, which he won
year ago. flying without stop from
Des Moines to Chicago. Over the lat
ter city he became confused, owing
to a heavy fog which he encountered
and finally landed near Hammond, Ind.
