/ FALLS TO DEATH tilph Johnson's Aeroplane Drops Fire Handled Feet sod He IS INSTANTLY KILLED like m Plummet, the Broken Ma- ^ tilne l>rops Amid Thousands of dpteutators at Overland Park.? Aviator Js Mangled in the Wreck and Kvery Bono Is Broken. With one wing tip of his machine crumbled like a piece of paper, Ralph Johnstone, the daring young aviator, nolder of the worlds altitude record, dropped like a plummet from a height of Ave hundred feet into the inclosure at Overland Park aviation field,.at Denver, Col., on Thursday afternoon. He was instantly killed. When spectators reached him his body lay beneath the engine of the biplane, with the white planes that had failed him in time of neel, wrapped about it like a shroud. Nearly every bone in his body was broken. He had rambled with death once too often, but he played the game to the end, fighting cooly and grimly to the last second to regain control of his broken machine. Fresh from his triumphs at Belmont Park, where he had broken the worlds record for altitude with a flight of 9,714 feet. Johnson attempted to give the thousands of spectators nn extra thrill with his most oaring real, mo spiral glide, wnich has made the Wright aviators funicu3. The spectators got their thrill. fTho fatal (1 i?lit was the second Johnstone had made during the afternoon. In the first flight, when he was in the air with Hoxsey and Rrookins, he had gone through his usual programme of dips and glides with the machine apparently under perfect control. Then Johnston rose again and after a few circuits of the course to gain height, headed toward the foothills. Still ascending, I he swept back in a big circle and as he reached the north end of the enclosure he started his spiral gliding. He was at an altitude of about 800 feet. With his planes tilted at an angle of almost ninety degrees, he swooped down in a narrow circle, the aeroplane seeming to turn almost in its own length. As he started the second circle, the middle spur, which braces the left side of the lower plane gave way and the winds tips of both upper and lower planes folded up as though they had been hinged. For a second Johnstone attempted to right the plane by working the other wing tip. Then the horrified spectators say the plane swerve like a winnuru niru and piunse siraigni toward tht oarth. Johnstone was thrown from Ills seat as the nose of the plane swung downward. lie caught on one of his wire stays between the planes and grasped one of the wooden braced of the upper plane with both hands. Then, working with hands and feet, he foungt \.j main strength to warp the planes so that their surface might catch the air and check his descent. For a second It seemed that he might succeed, for the football he'met he wore blew off and fell much more rapidly than tho plane. The hope was momentary, however, for when about 300 feet from the ground the machine turned completely over, and the spectators fled woldly as the broken plane, with the viator still fighting erimly in its mesh of wires and stays, plunged among them with a crash. Brarcely had Johnstone hit the ground before morbid men and women swarmed over the wreckage, fighting with each other for souvenirs. One of the broken wood stays had gone almost through Johnsone's body. Before doctors could reach the scene one man had torn tills splinter from the body and run away, oarrvlni? hta trnnhv urlth ?v>? ?i?.^? _ ...0 wr.v " - V I. III. UVIHIUI ? blood Ht ill dripping from Its ends. Frantic, the crowd tore away the canvas from over his body and then fought for the very gloves that had protected his hands from the cold. The machine fell on the opposite aide of the field from the grand stand, and there were but a few hundred persons near the spot, but physicians and police were rushed across as soon as possible. JPhvslcians declare that death was Instantaneous as Johnstone's back, neck and both legs were broken, the bones of h's thigh being forced through the flesh and leather garments he wore. Arch Hoxsey, who In a previous flight that afternoon had reached an altitude of 2,500 feet, had risen just before Johnstone began his fatal glide and was In the air when the accident took place. As he swung around the other end of the course he saw Johnstono had fallen and I guided his machine 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 Bropkjns holped lift the mangled body to an automobile which brought it to the city.

The f allegation in the complaint was that the fire started from a spark from * an engine of the Atlantic Coast Line, t The action was brought under e that section of the law which makes j. railroad corporations liable for damage caused by lire communicated by its locomotive engines, "except In such cases where property shall have 11 been placed on the right of way of such corporation unlawfully and P without its consent." Only a few days ago the Supreme " Court rulel that it was not ne"e?- a sary for negligence to be shown in order that a person having property 1 damaged might recover from a rail- b road corporation. In this case, on which the -Supreme Court rules, the defendant denied that the fire was h set by its engine and alleged that the w cotton waB there without its consent. -At the time of the fire and for r several yearB previous to the time, d the company had kept posted on its (l depot a notice which said that all persons were forbidden from plac- 8 ing cotion or other property in the right of way of the company or on s its premises, unless the same was P tendered tor shipment or full ship- b ping instructions given to the agent 1 at that point.

Secretary Wilson has aid us that the tariff is making the armers prosperous, and yet thousnds have moved away from this rosperlty to seek other and more iv'ting fields. Is It possible that tie bleak prairies of Northwestern anada. where corn will not ripen, ffer better prospects for successful arming than the rich lands of Iowa? The fact is. Secretary Wilson is nmaKen ana tne farmers know It, Ise why their intense demand for sal tariff revision. The only Iowa armers that the tariff helps are lose who raise sheep, for they benfit by the tariff of 12 cents per ound on wool. But there were in 909 only 747,000 sheep in Iowa, an ! le number is decreasing; for aecordlg to the same authority there were 00,000 sheep of sheering age in 908, which shows a reduction of 3,000 in one year. In these came official statisticts th; rice of sheep on the farm appears ) be declining; for in 1908 the rerage price in the United 3tates quoted at $3.88 per head, while in 909 the price had declined to $3.43. his doe3 not indicate that the farera are getting their share of the rosperit.y which the Republicans aslre us is due to the protective tarr. Even their sheep and wool on hich they are protected do not em to be adding to their prospery; and on nothing else than wool the Iowa farmer really protected / the tariff. The price of wool has declined nee the passage of the new tariff ,w, although the very high protecon on wool and woolens was net langed At St. l.ouis the highest ice reached in January. 19U8, for ;st tub-washed was 33 cents a >unil; while during December of le same year the price fell to 2S :nts per pound. There are no later jvernment statistics published, bnt ie Daily Record of Qulncy, Illinois, ovember 4, 1910 in its market re>rt of the price of hi les and wool lys: "Wool?Although prices are at advancing just yet the market toning up. There is a better deand and the general feeling is betT." While the Iowa farmer has been iving good crops and getting good 'ions for thnm u ? A * ... uui illfi L 11*3 pilSI It'W ^ars. the cost of living has advanc 1 over 60 per cent with him as with ery dweller in the citlcB, and those ho have rented farms have had leir rent raised as the price of land creased. These Iowa farmers wuo ive emigrated probably mostly tenits?have evidently not been very osperous, or they would not leave icir homes and their neighbors and leir friends to go to new countries id begin all over again with all the trdships of frontier life. No won;r that in Iowa and in all the Westn states where similar conditions evail there has been a general deand for tarifT revision downward; r it is very evident that protecan does not protect the farmer, hut unders him.

'Mr. Tyner was put on trial, and on ay 2f?. 1004, the jury declared hliu inocent of the charges.
