FA Mors AYIATRIX FALLS TO DEATH Laura Broimvell Loses Life When Plane Crashes.?Held World Record. Mineola, X. Y., June 5.?Miss Laura Bromwell, holder of the loop the loop record for women, and one of the best known women pilots In the world, was killed at Mitchell field this afternoon. Miss Brormvell was flying at an altitude 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 loop the loop 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 135 miles an hour. Military observers who witnessed the flight declared the girl's airplane motor stopped abruptly as she was making the upward turn of the loop. Suddenly, the machine fell backward into a tail spin and dropped like a plummet a. road just outside the field. Hundreds of spectators gasped as plane fell and then rushed to where it struck the ground. The girl's lifeless body was found in the tangled wreckage. Miss Bromwell had tested her machine before engaging in her stunts, army officers said, and she pronounced it in good condition. Miss Bromwell's machine went through the first loop with the grace - - - _ I of a bird, sne naa just sutrceu a, second when suddenly the hum of the J motor stopped and the'plane lurched # . sidewise. It seemed to remain' suspended a minute and then started its I meteoric drop. ! , A dark object flew from the ma-1 / chine and many spectators, thinking that the straps holding the aviatrixi in her seat had broken, shuddered | and turned their heads. It later 1 proved to be a seat cushion, released when Miss Bromwell was swung clear of the seat as the plane started to fall, upside down. | Experienced aviators declared the t girl's apparent inability to manipu- j late the control levers in an effort to right the plane probably was due to having swung from the seat so l'ar she could not reach them. She was flying high enough, they said, to have brought the plane safely to earth, although the motor had stopped. ., ^ EYEWITNESS TELLS ^ STORY' OF FLOOD I * Z Marooned Twelve Hours on Roof of Garage. Houses Swept Past. Fueblo, June 5.?A graphic story of flood was given to the Associated , Press today by M. J. Valley of Denver, a Colorado & Southern railroad engineer. j Valley was marooned with four other men for 12 hours. At one time his companions had to rub his limbs and body to keep his blood in circu- 1 lation so he could stand alone. Cord! |1| 9 "I had been in a garage with a j'friend to get his ear." Valley said, f "when the flood waters swept into 1 the garage. We climbed into the car, I then on top of it. The flood waters reached us even :there and we climbed into the sec! ond floor of the building and when ' ' that became flooded we smashed a hole in the roof and stepped out on ' it. j "The water crept on us there and I it looKea as 11 me ounaing migm so we stepped out on a pile of debris which had been stopped by telephone I wires. For three hours we stood I '( there in the rain and darkness which : j was lighted up only by several fires. ' Then the impoverished raft gave way J and we climbed back, on the garage, ' finally cutting a cable l'rom the telephone wires and with the aid of this _igot on to a higher building. I: "From here and with the aid of the t * cable, we rescued three men who were t ! being swept past us by the current. ! "Houses were being swept down i the street past us, many of them with I people inside crying for help. I don't know how many of them there were nor how many of them escaped. I "We were rescued by a boat crew * at 9 o'clock Saturday morning." I In the Union garage one man was ' rescued Saturday. He had floated with the flood to the ceiling of the building and had been pounded a hole through the roof big enough to put , his head through for air. The water I r>nmp within three inches of the sec .'end floor. Another man with him I might have saved his life had he kept! his face up. His body was found jam-j med between the rafters. His name was Schoelble. He was the owner of a large shoe store. A rise of 12 feet here, which is re- .
