LIEUT.. PEARSON MAKES
 AN AERIAL VISIT HERE

Lieutenant Pearson of the Ninth aerial Squadron, stationed at Douglas was in the city for few minutes on Sunday. He did not start for Phoenix, put 10 gc to Tucson to see the all-metal plane piloted by E. E. AIIyou, and hav- Ing as passengers Eddie Rickenbacher and President John M. Larsen of the New York Aircraft corporation. But having come so near Phoenix, an aerial Jaunt to Phoenix was only the matter ot an hour and few minutes, and Lieutenant Pearson came over to re- new the acquaintance he had made just a week before on his visit in company with Lieut.-Col. Gaujot-
 The aH-metal machine met with an accident in an enforced landing near Tucson, the cause of which has not been generally understood. But it was pilot something. The machine weighs 5000 pounds. It carried load of nearly l,O00 pounds more and requires for raising an arrangement that does not attach to lighter machines.
 On each side of it is a tank, one con- taining gasoline and the other benzol. The latter is used for attaining height, after which 1t is turned off and the gasoline turned on. The mechanician observed that one or the tanks was nearly empty so that he turned the contents of the other tank into it and filled the tank thus ehnptied with ben zol. That was a regular proceeding, usually done in such cases, but the mechanician neglected to inform the pilot. When the machine with only gasoline turned on had risen to height of 50 feet it refused to go higher and began to settle down. The landing was then made. the machine striking some mesquite trees with the result that the propeller was broken. None of the occupants were injured.
