FAMOUS ITALIAN AVIATOR KILLED AT M|NEOLA FIELD Capt. Antonio Resnati Falls Fifty Feet in Caproni Biplane and Crushed
 to Death

New York. May 17.-In a fall of only 50 feet, Captain Antonio Resnati, fa- nous Italian army aviator, was killed beneath the wreckage of a new Ital- ian-made Caproni biplane at the Hazel- hurst aviation field, Mine0la. today.
 Resnatis machine, brought into this country few days ago and assembled by Italian mechanics, 'side-slipped" when the pilot attempted to make turn too soon after leaving the ground. One wing struck the field and the craft over turned, falling upon the aviator ana crushing him to death.
 Investigation by a board of army air- plane officers. it was announced to- night, showed that there was nothing at fault with the construction or assem- bling of the biplane. A rough spot on the ground from which the flight started. the board stated slowed up the ascent and when Resnatic attempted to make 8 turn the machine lacked sufficient mo- mentum.
 Resnati upon his own request was talk ing the new plane on it's maiden trip. The machine was to have been sent to Chicago for exhibition purposes.
 Maj. Thomas Hitchcock and five other army officers designated by Maj. E. L.. Canady, commander of the flying field, conducted the investigation into the acci- dent.
 The Italian flight captain, who came to the United States to demonstrate the eff ficiency of large airplanes in war, had an international reputation. After serv- ing as an aviator with the Italian forces on the Isonzo front where he was wounded five times, Resnati brought a Caproni plane here and performed the brilliant feat of carrying nine passengers from Hampton Roads, Va, to Mineola, a distance of 325 miles, in hours and 25 minutes.

RECORD OF DISTRICTS

ANOTHER EXPLANATION

Officials explained that one reason the total subscriptions of the second loan exceeded those of the third IS that during the last days of the sec ond, when it was apparent the joan was heavily oversubscribed, some cor porations and banks desiring to make big purchases doubled the subscrip- tions they actually meant to take. knowing only half the experimentation would be taken.
 Organization work of the third cam paign was considered infinitely better than that of the second, particularly in the districts which stood near the top of the percentage subscription list.
 This has lead treasury officials in charge of war loans to begin immc- diately the organization of canvass1ng forces for the loan which will be floated next fall.
