RICH FLIRTS With
Death UP IN AIR
lContInued From FIrst Pagel

Continued From First Page)
through last night cannot adequately
be pictured. He stood on one foot on
the trapeze bar as he swung away
out, back and forth over the
crowd; he twisted and squirm-
ed and put himself in all kinds Of
perilous positions until many Of the
spectators, sickened by his 1irtations
with death, either closed their eyes or
left the scene.
The climax came when Rich pretend
ed he had lost his grip and was falling
from the great height to the ground.
He caught himself with. his feet and
dangled head downward, while thou
sands Of hearts stopped mOmentarily.
II was all done under the glare Of
bright spotlights, and Rich could be
seen for several blocks along Market
street. So dense was the crowd that
street car traffic was held up for
awhile.
Several years ago, when Rich. who
had distinguished himself as a bal
lonist, in making a parachute landing
after a high attitude flight came down
in an apple orchard. Just as he reach
ed the trees a squall caught his para
chute and he was dragged through the
trees with such violence that both his
ankles were broken. He was lacerated
from head TO foot. and his clothing
literally was stripped from his body
He was weeks recovering from the ef-
fects Of that accident.
Despite these injuries he is engaged
today in a high attitude trapeze act that
puts tremendous strain upon those
broken ankles, and his life depends
upon them almost every minute as he
goes through his stunts.

COUNCIL is DISCUSSED

Senator Hoke Smith inquiries About
Bids for Russian Railway
Equipment.

The council of national defense was
brought under discussion in the Senate
again today when Senator Hoke Smith
sent to the desk and had read an article
from a New York paper saying that the
council was asking for bids on 10000
railroad cars and 800 locomotives te be
used in rebuilding the transportation
facilities of Russia. Il wanted to sug-
gest that charity might begin at home,''
declared the Georgia senator, saying
that additional railroad transportation
facilities might be provided for the
United States as well as Russia.
Senator Knox said the article had
impressed him as meaning that the de-
Tense council was simply assisting the
Russian authorities in buying railroad
equipment, out of the credit of $780,
100000 extended by this country.
Does the senator from Georgia de-
sire Russia as our allyn asked Senator
Nelson, who thought the developing of
the railroads of that country one of
the ways of helping to win the war.
He declared that the Georgia senator
was taking a narrow view of the mat
ter.
Senator Smith disclaimed any such
intention and said he wanted not only
to develop and rehabilitate the rail-
roads and other resources of Russia,
but also increase and build up the
transportation equipment and facilities
of the United States.
