World Renowned Aviators Meet Death

MISJUDGED CURRENTS
Moisant, nt New Orleans, Falls Hundreds
of Feet unci Has His Neck
llroken?Hoxsey, ut Los Angeles,
is Dashed to Furth in Aeroplane
unci Crushed by the Machine.
John B. Moisant and Arch Hoxsey.
aviators ertraordinary, were killed
Saturday. Both fell out of the
treacherous air currents with their
machine*- -neither from a vast
height?and Moisant's remaining
minutes of life were so few as to
count as naught. Hoxsey was killed
instantly.
Moisant met his death at 9.55 a.
tn., attempting to alight In a tield u
few miles from New Orleans. La.
Hoxsey, who went into the air early
in the afternoon at Los Angeles,
Cal., lay at J: 12 p. m. a crushed, lifeless
mass !n view of the thousande
who were watching the aviation
tournament.
Thus the last day of 1910, in
bringing the total number of deaths
of aviators to thirty, capped the list
with two of the most illustrious of
those- airmen who have been writing
the history of nviation in the skies
of two continents.
Moisant, a Chicagoan by birth, after
an adventurous life in Central
America, became interest* d in aviation
in France less than a year ago.
Aftei soaring into public recognition
bv his plucky bight from Daris across
the English Channel to London, witli
a passenger, Moisant's fearlessness
and resourcefulness were exhibited
n-'iuniii). rmuing mmseit wittiout
a machine, he purchased one from
a friend for $10,000 anil within ten
minutes, starting on his winning
Hight from Hc'.mont Park, N. Y.,
around the Statue of Liberty, win
ninK a prize of J 10,000.
Today a sudden puff of wind
caught him within 500 feet of the
earth, turned his machine over and
a broken neck terminated his career.
Arch Hoxsey, after a year of uniform
su cess with the Wright aeroplanes,
had gained a name lor daring
and competence in the air. Only
within the week he had set a new
world's altitude record of 11,474
feet, and then to show hL contempt
for the earth, had sailed majestically
more than 4.O00 feet above Mount
Wilson. Today he ran afoul of the
ramo kind of boiling, treacherous
wind when some 500 feet front the
earth, and a minute la'<-r a horrifieo
crowd, aroused from its shock, was
rushing madly to where a broken
n"iss of humnnity lay beneath a tori,
hit of canvas and some broken spars
Iloth met death In almost the sanu
manner. Each machine was headed
for the earth snd suddenly seemed
to stop, hover in the air, then "tu'n
over on to its nose," and dive heau
long to the earth?and to destruction.
Moisant's aeroplane was a Hl.-rim
monoplane, and in addition to the
heavy engine in front of the male
planes, he had fastened a tank holding
155 gallons of gasoline. Aviatiou
experts believe a sudden puff of wind
stopped his machine dead in the aii
and the heavy weight ahead dragged
the light framework behind it. Hipping
the then useless rear elevator.
From his position partly hack of the
main planes, Mo-sant w is flipped out
oh i; of the machine, and struck the
ground on his head, breaking in*
neck. He d! d on a flat ear upon
whi< h he was being rushed to .New,
Or' :ins.
Horsey, likewise was returning
from a journey into the clouds. 1 s-?
was wi'hin five hundred t< oi of 'he
tilth and cheers were going up to
me t the "onpuerer of the higher

TOLL OF THE MOBS
FIFTY . SEVEN PEOPLE WKRK
I
LYNCHED THE YE Alt FAST.
Florida, C*eor??ia, Alabama, Arkansas
nn<l Texas Led in This Class of Violent
I?eatlw.
Only 57 l>nehings were recorded
in the United States in 1910, a much
smaller number than In almost any
previous year in the last 16. In 1909
the total was 7 0 and in 1908 it was
65. All but five of the 57 cases of
1 vnt'hln rv in 1 U1 n wnra "
V ? VI t ui uciiiun),
and ten of these cases were those In
which the charge against the victim
was assault on white women or girls.
In 11 of the remaining number the
chargo was attempted criminal assault,.
In the five rases of white
men, four were for murder and the
other for aiding and abetting in a
'ail delivery. Several of the cases
in which nee rocs were lynched were
based upon the murder, or allege 1
murder of white women in which tliej
question of assault is implied.
As in previous years, nearly all the
Ivnchings were in Southern states.
Florida and Georgia having ten each.
Alabama and Arkansas eight each.
Texas six. The only lynching in the
North occurred in Ohio, the victim
being Carl Ktherington, and agent of
he Ohio Anti-Saloon league, who |
met death at the hands of a mob :n
Newark following his imprisonment
in Jail on a charge of having murdered
a saloonkeeper while making v
raid "en >n alleged hllnd tiver. On*
man has heen convicted of having
patlcipated 'n this lynching and givtn
a 20 rears prison sentence.
Following is the record for 1910,
by states: Alabama, eight negroes; j
Arkansas, eight negroes: Florida. ,
eight negroes and two whites; Georgia.
ten negroes; Louisiana, one
white man: Mississippi, five negroes;
Missouri, three neuroes; North Caro
Una, one negro: Ohio, one white
iran: Oklahoma, one negro; South
Carolina, o;.o negro: Tennessee, two
negroes: Texas, four negroes and
two whites
Of the five whites lynched, two t
were Italian . who were lynched in
Florida. They were charged with
murder and with inciting the siots ,
wk.iiik sir.KP oi ciparmakera in j
Tampa. Another of the white viitlw'a j
was a Mexican ( who was shot and
burned at the stake near the Texas'
bonier, following his confession that
he had murdered a white woman. Of
he 52 negro victims, two were women.
I
*n many of the cases the lynchings ,
followed the arrest or conviction ot
the victims on the charges made
against them. In other cases the
victims met death while endeavoring (
to escape from pursuing pcsses. In (
two cases the negro victims were
Unched by mobs composed of members
of their own race. In almost ,
every case -he victim was summarily .
bunged or shot without burning at ^
the stake, such as accompanied these ,
acts of summary vengeance in former
years.

of cameras trained on him, Joseph
(J. Robin, the indicted banker, stepped

The case was postponed in the

prison hospital, adjacent, and later to
Hellevue. where he lies in the prison
ward. No charee of attempted suicide
is entered against him. and it ifthought
he will Recover, although
the action of hyotscin is slow, and
much will depend on his vitality.

his sister, and two detective,

taking hyoscin in small doses, to
counteract the effects of morphine
which he used to deaden the stabbing
pains by which gall stones make
themselves known. She kept the drug
in her house and she thought her
brother swallowed twelve tablets. At
Bellevue the examining surgeons estimated
that Robin had taken about
one-tenth of a grain.
Robin seemed in good heal'h Saturday

The first sign of illness was when he
staggered, on stepping from his automobile
to the Criminal Court building.
In the elevator he weakened so
rapidly that the detentlves had t<

Into unconsciousness and was not revived

Large store buildings with their

Hanks, with their rash In the vaults,
were put on wheels and made the
trip across the prairie while Uhe
clerks continued to work and nioaev
was received and paid out ot customers.
Without disturbing the officials the
county court house was hitched to
two of the 'art'st traction engines
ever built, atnl it was dragged from
Larnio to Wimu r, where it was placed
011 a foundation peviously prepared
for it. The Larnio hotel, drawn
by *72 teams of horses, made the trip
without so much as ceasing business
a single meal.
The court house, a big two stsry

the big house he put In place before
smaller houses blocked the way. The
big traction engines were hitched to
it, and across the prairie it went, the

Mogul loco-uotive?. The distance was
three miles, and this was covered in
just two hours. So evenly was the

PLANTERS SI FKKK tlHMATLY.
Six Million Dollars is the Annual
Damages to Peach (inuvcift.
The fearful ravages of pests on agriculture,
entailing many millions of
dollars' loss, arc outlined in a statement
which Acting Chief Powell, of
the bureau of plant industry, has
submitted to the House committee on
agriculture in connection with the
agricultural bill which the commtlee
reported Monday.
Mr. Powell says that through the
use of a sulphur spray, the Eastern
peach business has been made stable
for the first time, lie says that the
estimated loss annually from brown
rot on peaches is $5,000,000 and
from peach scab $1,000,000, virtually
all of which loss might he saved
by proper spraying of orchards.
