BIRDMAN MAKES GRIM FIGHT IN 500 FOOT FALL Tries Vainly to Readjust Wing Tip Which Crumples in Sec= ond Flight in Denver Horror Stricken Hundreds *«Be« come Ghouls in Mad Rush to Get Souvenirs DENVER. Nov. 17— With one wing tip of his machine crumpled like a piece of paper, Ralph Johnstone, the young: aviator, holder of the world's altitude record, dropped like a plum met from a height of 500 feet into the inclosure at Overlar.d park aviation field today and was instantly killed. When the spectators crowded about the inclosure reached him his body lay beneath the engine of the biplane with the white planes that had failed him in his time of need wrapped about it like a shroud. Nearly ' every bone :n bis body was broken. He had gambled with death once too oftm, but he" played the game to the end. fighting coolly and grJmly to the last, second to regain control of his broken machine. \u25a0\u25a0 - >Frekh from tiia triumphs at Belmont park. wheY? he had broken the world's rfccopa for altitude with a flight of 9.714 feet. Johnstone attempted to give the thousands of spectators who stood with craned necks to watch him an *>xtra thrill with his most darinpr feat. th*> spiral gHdf which had made the Wrigrht aviators famous. The spec tators pot their thrill, but it cost John stone his life. STARTS OX SECOND FLIGHT The fatal flight was the second John- Eton* had r.iado this afternoon. In the first fli;r!it. when he was in the air with Hovßey and .Brookins, -h*» had gone through his usual program of dips and glides with his machine apparently un<l'-r perfect control. Then Johnstone ro,««». again, and after a few circuits of ,the "rourfp to jrain height, headed to*vnr<i file foothills. Still apf-endinpr. ho sw^pt back in a bis- circle, and «t= he reached the north **n& of the inolosure ' lie started his rpirai He was then at an alti tude of about $00 feet. With hip planes titlted at *a« ancrle of almost 9^ de prrpe? lie swooped down in a narrow circje. Hie aeroplane seeming to turn alnmft in its own length. TIPS FOLD AMI HE DROPS As he started the second circle the middle spur which braces the* left side «">f the lower plane gave way and the wing tips of both upper and lower planes foKle-3 up as though they had l'f»n hinged. For a second Johnstone attempted to right the plane by warp ing the nther winp tip. Then the hor rifierj spectator* saw the plane swerve like a wounded bird and , plunge straight toward the earth. JohnPt<">ne was thrown from his seat as the nose of the plane swung down •w-ar.l. He caugrht on one side of the wire stays between the planes and crrasp^d one of thf Wooden braoes of ihe Tipp«-r plane with both hands. Then working wTt,h. hands and feet he fought by main strength to warp the planes bo that th*ir surfaces might catch the air and check his descent.' For a second it seemed to the white faced Fpectators almost under him that he might succeed, for the football helmet ho wore blew off and fell much more rapi.lly than the plane. MACHIYE TURNS TURTLE The hope was only momentary.- how^ ever, for when only about 300 feet fmm the ground the machine turned completely over and the frightened spectators fled trildly as the broken plane with the tense faced boy still lighting grimly In its mesh of wires and stays plunged among them "with a thud and crash that could be heard over the big field. Scarcely ha.J he hit the ground when sensation mad brutes, both men and women, swarmed over the wreck age, lighting with one another for souvenirs of the terrible occasion. DEATH TS GHOULISH SCE.VE One of the broken wooden stays had thrust its jagged end almost through Johnstone's body. Before doctors or police could reach- the scene one man had torn the splinter from the crashed and mangled bndy and ran gleefully away, carrying his horrid trophy with the aviator's Mood still dripping from its end. Frantic the crowd tore away the canvass from over his body anJ fought for the very gloves that had protected Johnstone's hands from cold: The machine fell on the opposite side of the field from the grandstand, and there were but a few hundred persons near the spot. Physlcjans and police were rushed across as soon as possible. Physicians declare death must have been instantaneous, as Johnstone's back, neck and both legs were broken, the bones of his thighs being forced through the flesh and the leather gar ments he wore. WOMAN'S SHRIEK DRAWS CROWD Arch Hoxsey, who in a previous flight this afternoon had reached an altitude of 2.500 feet, had risen, just before I Johnstone began his fatal glide and j \u25a0was In the air when the accident took place. As he swung around the other end of the course he saw that John stone had fallen, and guided his ma chine directly over the body of his friend. He descended as soon as he could bring his* plane to the ground and rushed to the wreckage, where he and Walter Brookins helped to lift the mangled body into an automobile, which brought it to the city. y Many of the spectators were watch ing Hox6ey*s flight and- did . not see JnhnPtone's 1 machine "collapse; but a woman's shriek — "My God, he"s gone!" — drew every eye In time to see the doomed man dashed to death upon the ground. The band in the grandstand, blaring away under contract," never ceased to play, and Johnstone's body was driven out of the inclosure with the strains of "A Grizzly Bear" for a funeral march. ACCIDENTS PRECEDE DEATH It would seem that many accidents had happened throughout the aviation meet here to warn the ill fated aviator. Yesterday in alighting Johnstone broke the- left wing of his machine against the fence. It was the same tip that gave way today and caused his death. Today when he started on ' his first flight one ,of the wheels on which the aeroplane runs along the ground gave way and he had to have it replaced. As he prepared to start for his last flight a fox terrier that had broken through the fence stationed itself directly in front of the machine and. barking frantically, refused to be driven away. As the machine rolled down the track one of the wings swept above the dog. which pursued the ma chine until it lifted into the air. HAD TABOOED "STUNTS" In discussing his flights In this rare atmosphere yesterday Johnstone de clared he would attempts no "stunts" here, as he considered it too dangerous. Evidently, however, he believed he had #oived ji:e problem &t \u25a0 Vzis altitude AVIATOR JOHNSTONE DROPS TO HIS DEATH Ralph Johnstone in his aeroplane, ready for a flight. when he departed from his determina tion. Hnxsey's daring fUght over the foot hills? seemed to fire him with a deter mination to outdo his teammate, for the first spiral, which he made safely, was by far the most daring any of the aviators had attpmpted at this meet. The fliphts whirh had a. sad ending in the death of Johnstone were pro ductive oi the highesj flight over made in this altitude. Arch Hoxsey, the first of the Wright aviators in the air today, started out to explore the cur rent* of the upppr levels. Circling around th*» course he mounted upward in gradually widening circles until he was flying far over the foothills to the west and over the city to the north. FLIBS IX BITTER COLT* It was bitterly cold and Hoxsey finally turned back, sweeping down in beautiful spirals and figure eights. ITe made a beautiful' landing, - coming to the ground after a flight of 37 minutes, so chilled he could hardly walk. While Hoxsey was soaring high above them, Brookins and Johnstone flew around the course, jumping imaginary fences, dipping and turning, with machines under perfect control. Johnstone was' first in the air for the second flights. He was followed a moment later by Hoxsey. hut Brookins had not started his machine when Johnstone's planes crumpled and his fall put an end to all flights for the day. Seemingly dazed by the death of their teammate, neither Walter Brookins nor Archie Hoxsey could be induced to talk of the" sad affair. Hoxsey hid him self away and could not be found to night. Brookins was seen by a repre sentative of th£ Associated Press and begged not to be asked to discuss John stone's death. ' . The continuance of the meet, he said, depended upon instructions from Roy Knabenshue, the Wright representa tive,, who has been wired for instruc tions. . - , . -No word has come from Mrs. John stone. who was communicated with at the Hotel Chamberlain, New York, \u25a0 Johnstone's last known address. It Is understood' Mrs. 'Johnstone •. and her daughter are still in Xew .York, but the son is in Berlin. : Knabenshue Is Grieved TjOS ANGELES. Nov. 17.— Ralph John stone's style of operating his aeroplane was contrary to the advice and repeat ed warnings of- the Wright brothers, according to Roy Knabenshue, general manager of the exhibition department of the Wright company. Knabenshue Is In Lrf>s 'Angeles, having come to the Pacific coast with a view of arranging engagements for the three Wright flyers. V^". "The death of Johnstone is. a terrible blow to all." said Knabenshue. "He was such a lovable fellow. But he was too daring." Knabenshue said the death of John stone left future exhibition plans some what in doubt, but, he is satisfied they will be resumed. There will^ however, be no flights made by Brookins and Hoxsey on the Pacific coast in the near fture. \u25a0 :-:& CARNEGIE, IN FEW WORDS, GIVES AWAY $3,500,000 Steel King Donates Big Sum to Technical School {Special Dispatch to.

Rosa narrowly escaped injury at the race track today when his bipfk-rie was prac tically demolished. Rising 40 feet from the ground the blrdman was caught in an air eddy from the grandstand, which he overtopped. This overset his machine,- sending It crashing to earth. Wiseman was thrown out, but sus tained no injuries. When up about 40 feet the biplane commenced to drop, diving straight toward the earth, when Wiseman managed to regain control and altered its course slightly, bring ing it back" to an even keel.' lt plunged to earth, the motor spinning furiously, ana struck square l.y In an . irrigating ditch, thus preventing^ the wheels from revolving and allowing a safe alight ing. There was a crash when the wheels crumpled underneath and . jammed through the bottom plane and one of the wings bent, and snapped. The birdman. shut off his engine as he struck, preventing the propeller from tearing the car to pieces. The sudden shock threw Wiseman from his precarious perch straight into the wires and stays. He was caught, in these and wavered to and fro. for a few seconds as 'the machine quivered. Then he extricated himself and jumped away from the debris. The aeroplane: will probably be taken apart and the broken, planes and mechanism packed away for shipment to California) Wiseman, Prentice and the half dozen mechanicians that ac companied the outfit left^the race track for Reno tonight. • MACHINISTS CONFESS MALICIOUS MISCHIEF Former Employes of Missouri Pacific Sent to Jail KANSAS CITY, Nov. 17^— P.

Charleston at 6 o'clock this evening aboard tho armored cruiser Tennessee, which wasiconvoyed -by the Montana after four lnterestingdaye on the isthmus. Before/leaving the presi dent said: \u25a0 • ' ' J This is'the fifth time I have .vis- ' ited the isthmus and I have gone • overthe whole line and looked into \ every part of the improvements. \u25a0•It I Islabout,22.months since I was last here ; and'in that time, the progress - , made has been, most satisfactory. i Indeed, it. is, remarkable.- . The first thing.that strikes one' ls the fact that work is being done ap-", parently on every foot of the 50 ; -miles of the canal; and done under an organization of men, plants and, materials that operates as econom ically and-effectively-as-if it, werea machine with Goethals in control of • a lever which, sets, and keeps the whole machine. in operation. ;. LOCKS APPROVED When I was here 22 months ago the main, ouestion was the confirm- ' j ation of tlie judgment of congress . in having adopted a lock type canal instead of a' sea level. The extent to which Gatun dam and the locks - \u25a0 have been • completed .has removed from every impartial observer, the '- slightest- doubt of - the wisdom of j the decision, made, and' the feasi bility, of the -plan :, adopted. This conclusion ;. is further confirmed . and clinched by the difficulty .oc casioned by slides in Culebra- cut; \u25a0which for a. canal of 185 feet -level -" necessltated'only an additional ex cavation that - could readily be' taken care of. Any attempt, .however, to sink a, canal in Culebra to a depth 85 feet below the present proposed level would lengthen the time of con-.. structiori, 1 exhaust ; the patience of' the Americans, make the cost al most prohibitory and leave It an ex ceedingly doubtful question wheth er, with the. 'difficulty presented by the Chagres " river, such a canal would be possible at all.. ' The Gatun dam lock with the lake already 18* feet and slowly rising to a level -of 85 feet, which . will constitute the, key to the whole plan of the canal, is so far advanced that, taken with Culebra cut and the locks on the Pacific side, a definite picture is given of what the canal is to be. which In spires one with eagerness for its completion. " . : SLIDES EASILY REMOVED The landslides in Culebra can be • easily removed, the further exca vation and the widening of the' slope where they occur merely ad ding something to . the" amount of ' excavation previously calculated - upon and to the cost, but the per centage of both time and cost will be very small, not enough -to in- • crease the estimates for the com pleted canal. ; . The \vork;ls so far advanced that .the -time -has come for the discus sion of plans for the management , and maintenance of the canal, for the government of Panama In peacefully pursuing its course and enjoying prosperity and political calm in the -republic. The authori- v ties in charge manifest every dis position to assist the. United States .ln the construction of the canal, and to conform to every detail of the obligation Imposed by the treaty. , \u25a0 ' On the eve of President Taft's de parture 100 bollermakers, dissatisfied that after hearing their complaints last evening the president would give no immediate answer, to their demands, gave five days' notice, of quitting work and sailing, for home. Several of the unions of machinists and blacksmiths are threatening similar action. It is not proposed to strike, but simply to resign and leave the isthmus. President Taft promised to consider the. matter fully and cable his answer from Charleston, but this did not sat isfy some of the hotheaded among the boilermakers. STATBMEJf T ISSUED The canal commission this afternoon Issued a statement, in part fol lows: The standard pay on the isthmus Is, 65 cents on hour, which is from 10 to 30 cents higher than in the United States. In addition, the' workers receive free quarters, fuel, light, medical attention and other privileges -not granted In- the , United States. The reason given by the hun dred men .. who have resigned is that r the -president's promise to send his answer from Charleston is not satisfactory. This action of • the bollermakers will not interfere" with the canal construction work, and will cause only temporary in convenience until their places are filled, which will be within a short time. The commission Is not worried at the outlook. The salaried men are not affected. . / : \u25a0 : OVEHUUSTD DlTCHElX— AHmquerque. N. M., Not. 17.
