Kentucky Aviator
Killed In Brooklyn.

Continued from first page.
was hacked to pieces with axes and
Lieutenant Kenny taken out. He was
unconscious.
DR.. Vincent Gallagher, of No. 097
Ocean avenue who had seen the fall
of the big airplane, arrived quickly
in his motor car. He pronounced
Austin dead and directed the placing
of Kenny in an auto which raced to
the Kings County Hospital. But he
died on the journey.
Showed Splendid Control.
Supreme Court Justice Benedict
whose home is opposite the Lott resi-
dence in Ocean avenue, had been an
interested observer of the manoeuvers
of the aviators and saw their tragic
fall.
Il heard subsequently" he said,
that on landing at the Parade
Grounds the hiers told the police
they were experiencing engine
trouble, but until the final misfor-
tune this would not have been sus-
pected so skillful and daring had
been their manipulation of their
airplane. At about 1900 feet they
had performed all the evolutions of
volplaing nose-diving, climbing,
banking and looping.
ION their last ascent | judged they
were about five hundred feet up when
their engine failed 1t seemed GER
tain they would strike the roof of the
Erasmus High School and again the
spire of the Dutch Reformed Church
and then that they would have to try
a landing in the street at Albemarl
place.
THE pilot however with fine pres
ence of mind picked out the most
available landing place for the crippl-
ed machine, and it is the greater pity
that an untoward circumstance-the
presence of clothes pole !-should
have caused the deaths of two brave
young Americans"
Lieutenant Charles L. Kenny, Jr.,
whose home was in Covington, KY,
was attached to the First Provisional
Wing, Field No. ,, Garden City.
Lieutenant Austin of the Three Hun
dred and Fifty-second Squadron,
Company B. Hazelhurst Field, Min
cola was of Boston.
Proof that Lieutenant Austin would
in all probably have avoided a Sc
rious accident but for the clothespole
lay in the fact that the engine was
not damaged and that the greatest
damage to the plane was that caused
in extricating Lieutenant Kenny.
This accident occurred within few
blocks of Mrs c. NJ. Beardsley's
residence who was an eye witness to
the scene. Mrs. Beardsley is a
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. w. N.

M'CHORD FINDS
CROSS NEGLECT
BY R, R. OFFICIALS

Washington, Feb. 16.-Thousands of
crippled freight cars accumulated
through the winter because of gross
| neglect of railroads making repairs
occupy miles of tracks in eastern rail-
road centers and are largely respon-
sible for car shortage and traffic con-
gestion. 1t was shown by reports OF
Interstate Commissioner McChord to
Director General McAdoo.
| Conditions are worst in Pfi1adAI-
ph1a, Pittsburgh, Harrisburg, Altoona,
Cleveland and Buffalo, it was shown
The Pennsylvania early this week has
1892 so-called bad order cars in AL
toona, 1888 in Harrisburg, more than
1,500 in Conway yard, near Pitts
burgh, 800 in Cleveland, 47S in Phil
adelphia and $40 in Buffalo. 1t was
estimated that crippled cars even at
these main terminals occupied SIS miles
Of track. The Philadelphia & Read
ing had 2,O52 bad order cars in it's
principal switching yards, covering 16
miles of track The Erie had 500 in
Buffalo, S67 in Port Jervis and 2S5 in
Jersey City, making eight miles Of
track covered by defective rolling
| in Cumberland alone, and the Balti.
none & Ohio had IA in one yard in
Philadelphia.
These cars could have been repaired
quickly during the winter if railroads
had made proper preparations for COW
cred repair tracks in advance accord
ing to railroad administration Off
Gals.
OF the many empty cars congested
in the Philadelphia yards of the Penn
sylvania, more than 2,4O0 are coal cars,
inspectors reported, and at no time
within the last month have there been
less than $500 empty coal cars there
awaiting movement, while coal mine
operators cried for more cars.
! Yesterdays reports of inspector in
dicated a slow clearing up of conges-
ton on several eastern trunk lines.
For the first time" says the state
ment, locomotives now are ready for
trains without delay. On the New
Haven, Pennsylvania, Baltimore &
Ohio and Erie railroads, however,
there are many cars stored on side
tracks along main lines between ter
ninals, waiting to be moved as soon
as motive power is available OF com
gested conditions will permit.
