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.

"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- .
I ported to be the crest of the flood ,
i'waters in Colorado, would inundate f
i >
,much of the business section of Dodge
City and would put the electric light
'and power plant out of commission.

Topeka, June 5.?The flood waters
sweeping across eastern Colorado had >
reached Lamar, 60 miles west of the
Kansas line, at 6 o'clock this evening,
(according to word received at the j

I Topeka & Santa Fe railway. The flood
crest was about 12 feet high and was
advancing aibout seven inches an hour,
according to the information, and
spreading over an area three miles
