|Leuine Crashes
 With His Famous |PLafse Columbia

NEW YORK, July 1S.-Charles Levine crashed in his famous monoplane Columbia on the Cur tis Field this afternoon.
 Levine and his passenger, Ma jor Fleming, were not hurt.
 Shortly after the take-off the right wing dipped and Levine had just straightened out the plane when the wing dropped again. He then headed back for the hangar but flew so low he missed other hangars by inches. He circled about in the air for another attempt but overran the field the third time and mar rowly missed telegraph wires. On a fourth attempt, Levine again misjudged his distance and the plane landed on the road, struck a fence and turned on it's nose.
 Levine said apoiogetically: Tt was my piloting. My take-off was bad but my landing was worse"
