GRANITE WORKER KILLED.
Adiio Nativi Crushed When Big Gran
tie Base Tipped Over

BARRE. April 4.-Adilio Nativi. a
Young Italian granite cutter with lodg-
imgs at IL Clark street, was instantly
killed in Burnham 5 meadow yesterday
when a big granite base on which he
was working toppled over and crushed
him 10 the ground. The accident oc-
cured in the yard of the Peerless
Granite Co., by whom Nativi was en-
ployed, and while doctors and an am
bulance were hastily summoned, death
is believed to have ensued at once. The
. body was removed to an undertaking
establishment.
The fatality was witnessed by a mum
her of granite cutters and Jumpers i'll
the stoneshed where Ferrari & Mar
chest do business under the firm name
of the Peerless Granite Co. A bottom
base with dimensions of 10 by 6 BIZ
was standing on end and scaffolding
which the Jumpers had erected bore the
weight of Nativi. who was a letter
cutter. TUESDAY two men were on the
scaffolding, and il was thought to be
sufficiently safe to bear additional
weight. Young Nativi was alone on
the framework and busilv PLYING tool
on the lettering for the word "Perpe.-

say that Nativi seemed to sense his
danger instantly, for he jumped from

The main causes for the delay in pro-
duction, Mr.. Hawley explained, were lack
of concentrated responsibility, lack OF
duplication of efforts. This would be end
ed by the creation of department Of
appropriations, lack of coordination and
aeronautics, with separate head, and

Mr.. Becker-Mr. Lewis prepared such

that statement to "The World" and you

Five Killed as Auto Skids
Through Railing of Bridge
Frost Causes Car to Run Wild:
Two Women and Three Men

ATLANTIC CITY, Dec Ca speed
ing autom obile skidded carly this
morning on the frosty planks Of the
second bridge crossing on Meadow
Boulevard and plunged through the
railing, landing wrong SIDE up on the
thoroughfare ten feet below and kill
ing all of its five occupants outright.
Those killed were Herman Startzen-
bach, proprietor of saloon. at Texas
and Atlantic avenues, and his wife;
casper baldee, Daniel Mccarthy. both
of whom were munition workers en-
ployed at the Atlantic Loading Com
pany at Amatol, N. j., and an elderly
woman, as yet unidentified. but be-
lieved to be the mother of either Mr..
or Mrs. Startzenbach
The bridge tender lives in cottage
a little distance from the bridge. and
was aroused by the roar of the swiftly
approaching car. Before he could leave
his home the roar ended with a crash
as the automobile burst through the
railing and fell.
The weight Of the capsized car defied
the efforts of the bridge tender to lift
it and release those who. were pinned
beneath it. He telephoned to the At
lantic City police, and squad Of re-
serves hastened to the spot by motor.
Even ith their assistance it was some
time before the car could be lifted.

NeaU York-Chicago
Aero Mail Flight
Fails on Third Trip

For the third time in three days an
attempt was made yesterday to inaugu
rate the aerial mail service between
New York and Chicago. The failure
that resulted was quite as complete as
the two which preceded it.
At $40 yesterday morning Pilots
Bissel and Lamb took the air at Bel
mont Park, carrying 400 pounds of mail.
Two hours later these mail sacks reap
peared at the New York Postoffice in a
plebeian truck. The authorities refused
to announce where the aviators had
come to earth this time.
At 1886 Pilot Johnson scared up
from Cleveland, carrying one mail
pouch, and headed for Chicago, intend
ing to make a nonstop flight between
these two cities. Less than two tours
/ later he dropped in on the citizens of
Il Bryan, Ohio, and announced that he
was going to stay there until his en-
gine was fixed This will take until
this morning.
Alan r. Hawley, president of the
Aero Club of America, said the fault
lay in the fact each plane carried only
one engine and therefore could not rise
high enough to overcome unfavo7able
weather conditions. The unfamiliarity
of pilots with the route was, he said
a contributing cause.
At the Belmont flying field it was ex-
planned that the motors with which the
machines were equipped had beer
manufactured as rush order for over
seas use. When the war ended abruptly
they were turned over to the mail SER
