FAMOUS AVIATRIX FALLS TO fBATH Laura Bromwell Loses Life When Plane Crashes. Held World Record. Mineolu, N. Y., June 5.-Miss Laura B1romwell, holder ot the loop .the loop record for women, and one of the best known 'women pilots in the world, was killed at Mitchell fild this afternoon. Miss Dromwel[ was flying at an alti tude of about 1,000 feet. She had Just completed one loop and was about to make a second when something went wrong with the plane and It crashed to the ground. Miss Bromwell, whose home was in Cincinnati, was 23 years old. She established her 190p the 1001) record May 15 when she executed 199 loops in an hour and 20 minutes. The same afternoon she piloted her airplane over a two mile straight away course at the rate of 130 miles an hour. MiJit ary observera who witnessed the flight declared the girl's ainlane motor stopped abruptly as she was naking the upward turn of the 1001). Suddenly-, the machine fell backward Into a tall spin and dropped like a planmet onto a road just outside the field. Hundreds of spectators gasped as the plane fell and then rushed to where it struck the ground. The girl's lifeless body was found in the tan gled wreckage.

Miss tBromwell's machine went through the first loop with the grace of a 'bird. She had Just started a sec ond when suddenly the hum of the motor stopped and the plane lurched sidewise. It seemed to remain sus pended a minute and then started its meteoric diop. A dark object fell from the machine and many spectators, thinking that the straps holding the aviatrix in her seat had broken, shuddered and turned their heads. It later proved to be a seat cushion, released when Miss Bromiwell was swung clear of the seat as the plano started to fall, up side down. Experienced avi-ators declared the girl's apparent inaibility to manipulate the control levers in an effort to right the plane 'probably was due to having swung from the seat so far she could not reach them. She was flying high enough, they said, to have brought the plane safe ly to earth, although the motor had stopped. Mineola, N. Y., June 5.--R. H1.
