Suffer Bruises; Escape High
Tension Electric

r. s. Miller and Mr.. Holloway, two
aviators from the Curti:. Northwest
Field at st. Paul, had very narrow
escape from death last evening about
six o'clock, when they tried to make
the jump OF with their Curtiss plane
about q half mile south of the Neu-
bert chicken farm south of this city
ON the Mapleton road!
According to the statement of R.
s. Miller. who was plotting the plane,
he attempted to make the jump off,
and saw that he could not ascend
80 under them.
Mast Caught in Wires.
The mast over the right wing
caught in the wires and caused the
plAne to plunge to the earth, breaking
the propeller. the fusilage and buckl-
ING the machine about in the middle.
Both Mr.. Miller and Mr.. Holloway
had their noses bumped and bled
freely, but luckily escaped without
more serious injury. The two young
men were making the start for Echo,
MINI. whore they were going on a
business trip Mr.. Miller says that
the plane can be fully repaired.
Escaped Electric Wires.
According to the statement of
Frank Gauthier, wire chief of the
Citizens Telephone company, it was a
lucky thing for the boys that they
struck the telephone wires instead of
the high tension wires just across
the road, which carry $1,000 volts.
Had the machine struck the high
tension wires 1t would have been i'm
mediately consumed together with
the two men in the plane, according
TO the statement Of Mr.. Gauthier.

CORA. and Mapleton were all knocked
down and for time the service over
those lines was completely crippled.

SMASH IN THE VALUES
Moving Order On Railroads Is
Responsible For Hurry-Up
Selling
ASSOCIATED Press Dispatch

Chicago, May 21.-Belief that a
drastic order would be issued for the
railroads to move grain on priority
basis was largely responsible for a
selling stampede that caused the
smash in values. Much of the SELL
ing appeared to be in the nature of
unloading by holders who no longer
saw a chance for profits on the bull
side of the market. The downward
sweep of the market was so rapid that
it was almost impossible to fill or
ders, at blackboard quotations Houses
with country connections were espec-
tally active in the selling. Tighten
ing of credits received continued no.
tice as bearish factor and so too
did extension or department store
price cutting in widely distant cities.
Minneapolis, May 21.-With shorts
ly and reports indicating results
would be forthcoming from effects of
the interstate commerce commission
and grain and banking interests to
rush empty cars to the west to clean
up accumulated grain, there was re-
hewed liquidation and bear pressure
on the coarse grain markets today.
Little outside support developed with
favorable weather prevailing over
the grain belt, and weakness became
acute, especially in rye. Early decline
of six cents in rye was followed by
feeble rallies and succeeding breaks
until Nav was 81 cents lower and
July 9k cents under yesterdays
close. Corn was to 5 cents lower
with offerings light. Barley sales
ranged 2 and cents lower than yes
terday.
Efforts to stop losses added to the
wildness Of trading in the last hour
and instead of reacting the market
plunged downward with realty &C
CELEBRATED movements. Almost pan
icky conditions prevailed In the
Anal fifteen minutes. The loss was
demoralized at the lowest point of
the day for corn $15S to $1.59; July,
q drop of 11K to 1874 in twenty four
hours.
