BILLY ROBINSON Is
KILLED IN A FLIGHT

Grinnell, Ia, March 13-W. C.
Billy Robinson, one of the foremost
of American aviators and head of the
Grinnell Aero school, was killed in
stantly Saturday afternoon when his
biplane, in which he was trying for an
altitude record, plunged to the ground
from height of 10000 feet AS the
machine struck the ground the petrol
tank exploded and the resultant fire
destroyed the plane and burned the
aviator's body almost beyond recogni-
ton.
The accident occurred near Ewart,
Iowa, 10 miles from this city.
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 fight, which he won a
year ago, flying without a 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.
Witnesses estimated the height at
which Robinson was flying at $4,000
feet. While flying at that height the
machine appeared to waver and start
ed to fall. Evidently realizing his
danger, Robinson endeavored to vol
plane gradually to the earth and for
more than 500 feet succeeded in hold
ing the machine in its spiral, gliding
course. The next 500 feet, according
to witnesses, was marked by series
of fiuttering drops at the end of which
Robinson would succeed in righting
the machine for a moment. When 300
feet from the ground, however, he lost
control completely and the machine
darted to the earth.

DINNER BILL IS
READ BY COUNCIL
Moline Municipal Commission Consid.
ers Ordinance Similar to That in
Force in Rock Island.

A step to standardize automobile
regulations throughout the tri-cities
was taken by the Moline city council
this morning. A DINNER ordinance
identical with that of the cities OF
Rock Island and Davenport was up for
first reading before the council, in the
form of an amendment to the traffic
ordinance.
The ordinance, which will be passed
at next weeks meeting and which
carries an emergency clause making il
effective Immediately upon passage
has the following provision:
1T shall be unlawful to use acety-
lene, electric or other bright head
lights, the rays from which shall be
intensified by an parabolic or con-
densing lens in front of the light, I'M
less such headlight shall be shaded or
dimmed so as not to blind or dazzle
other users of the highways, or to
make it difficult or unsafe for them to
ride, drive or work thereon" :.
A special clause eXempts the motor
vehicle used by the police and fire de-
partments from complying with the
provisions, for the big headlights they
use are protection rather than dan
ger, since they have right of way over
all vehicles.
A fine of from 81 to $40 is provided
as the penalty for violation Of the
ordinance. An ordinance providing fol-
the paving Of Ninth street with as.
phalt was passed. Estimate is $1S,61S
