FALLS 2,000 FEET; LIVES
Lieutenant Means Cool While Airplanc RuShes Toward Earth in Preacher ous Tailspin on Long Island.

New York, May 30.-While Lieut. Gardiner C. Means and four other army aviators were practicing in a flying formation similar to that of the Germans flying circus" at a height of about 2,O00 feet over the Hazelhurst Aviation Field near Mineola yesterday Means, who was at the peak of the formation, lost control of his machine and the plane Whirled to the ground in the dangerous tailspin. It fell within a few feet of the spot where Cadet Aviator Charles B. Passwater was killed on Monday when his, air plane fell to earth in a tailspin ac- tcident
 Aviation instructors at the Hazel hurst Field were watching the evolu- tions of the fliers, who had just taken to the air to try out their new bat tie form ation, when the plane leading the evolution suddenly halted, dipped a little, and then slid backward into the whrling tailspin The officers took their glasses to watch the efforts of Means to right his plane, alth ough they were sure that he would be rn- able to pull his machine out of the spin in the short distance
 As the plane whirled in wide circles they saw Means working his lever as coolly as if he were in a pleasure flight After the plane had fallen about 1 900 feet it swerved as if it were going to catch the air to fly safely out of its dangerous position, but some part of the machine seemed to crumple and the plane continued to spin.
 As the machine crashed to the ground the instruction officers jumped into an automobile with surgeons from the field hospital, sped to the wreck age, expecting to find the aviator dead. Instead they found him on the ground clear of the wreckage and al- though he was unconscious, surgeons found that his condition was not ser ious. He was taken to the field hospital. where it was said that he would be ready to fly again in a few days. He was suffering only from bruises and shock.

SAYBR0OK SCARED
Unusual Naval Activity Caused By Appearance of Strange Craft Off Shore.
Especial to The Herald.)

NSpeCldl to J1le tefal0.)
 Saybrook. May 3O.-Unusual naval activities were observed on the Sound off this front, today. Torpedo boats and U-boat c'hasers were particularly busy. A strange craft was observed off Chalker beach. It flew the Stars and Stripes at the peak and carried the name "Monitor'. Along shore 1t was said that the boat has an alias being otherwise known as the Alien.
 A landing party came ashore and with their arrival fears of enemy ac- tivity disa ppeared. Three of the party were recognized as Traffic Policeman Charles Johnson of the New Britain police department, Arthur N Ruther- ford, the building inspector in that city, and Aaron c. Cohen, an automo- bile salesman.
 They were on a fishing excursion and made a fine catch of flat fish. They also gathered fine mess of clalns.
 The fishing party returned home eral pounds of fish and a few bushel, of clans. Their stock of fish stories has been abundantly replenished. Fresh from the excursion some of the party passed out gifts of fish declaring them to be trout. The landlubber who received tn em would not look the gift horse in the mouth, but a rude skeptic declared that if they were trout they were wonderfully camouf1aged They did indeed look more like flat fish and there were some weak fish in tho package.

There are three standard varieties

| to dispose of all the surplus and Gull

of all branches of the industry.
Perhaps the most important indus

Gull potatoes is that of converting
them into Natural Potato Flour. Be-
midi, the county seat of Beltraml

tory in operation by November 1,

means of making this county and sur

Whether this discussion gets into
the open or not remains to be seen.
But the presidents plan, when he left
here, was to air his views in a speech
soon after arriving abroad, it is un-
derstood.
The president will intimate that
Great Britain should accede to his
proposal for a pooled international po-
lice fleet, or expect naval building
completion. This will be part of the
presidents program of freedom of
the seas" The president is represent
ed by his friends as believing that the
germ of secure peace does not lie in
Great Britain going thru with her
recently announced intention of main
tanning supremacy of the seas.
House Republicans have practically
decided to hold up appropriations for
further naval construction pending the
settlement of issues at the peace table.
