NOTE. BOND AND STAMP
1 BUREAU TO BE CLOSED
PENDING AN INVENTORY
Low VISIBILITY
BLAMED FOR CRASH
Pilots of Aerial Expresses We're Fly
ing Low and Following Railroad
Tracks.

Paris, April s. tBy the Associated
Press ,-R. e. Duke, pilot Of the
English plane, which crashed into a
French Goliath on the Paris London
aerial express route yesterday near
Thieulloy, died in the hospital at
BeaEais to-hay without recovering
consciousness. Duke was the only
person in either machine to survive the
crash, and his death brought the total
of those killed to seven.
Low visibility, caused by low hang
ing clouds and mist, is given as the
primary cause of the catastrophe. Both
pilots were flying low at the time,
keeping the railroad tracks in sight SO
as not to lose their way and this
brought them together head-on
The dead are Christopher Bruce Yule,
a New York exporter, and his wife; Nj.
Bouriese, another passenger; Pilot
Mire of the Goliath and his mechanic
and pilot Duke and the cabin boy of
the English machine.
In the investigation of the accident
the theory is being advanced in some
quarters that air suction, due to the
action of the propellers, was a factor in
preventing the pilots from avoiding
each other, attracting the machines to-
gether.
The air booking agencies announced
to day there had been no cancella-
tions on account of the accident.
There are eight airplanc companies
operating services between Paris and
London, with combined feet of sixty
with accommodations in each
machine for from two to twelve per-
sons. All the companies conduct
daily service. some of them flying two
airplanes day.
