Most of the injured are children.
The accident occurred at 3:30 p. i.
Aviator 10ddie 'Stinson was preparing
to make a landing and was flying
close to the ground. The attention of
Lhe crowd was attracted by the Ima
chine i the air, but, according to Iol
lingsworth, when ie started from the
1orth end of the fleld for the take-off,
the crowd formed a lane at least 100
feet wide. Ilollingsworth testiiled at
the inqiuest that his machine was run
ning forty miles -an hour. .not quite
fast enough to jumip off, when looking
to the right, he saw a smali boy in his
path. He was forced to swerve to
avoid hitting the boy when the ma
(lile struck the woman and the ti-,
pact turned the airplane which was
just about to leave the ground to the
lelt, runIlnilig it into the crowd.
Afer tihe accident, when -the crowd
reali zed what had occurred, a large
number of men swariied aroulnd the
a!-plane threatening to lynch Aviator
liollingsworth and declaring their in
#ntion of burning the machine after

well as tha in which the cost. of liv

tacle of chaos. Kverybody Is robbing
everybody else. Black lailders among
the shipping agents and the lotig
shoremen are responsible for the fact.
that it costs more to got freight from
a s1111) to shore than to transport it
oIm New York to Constantinople. All
available dock space has been taken
up by the entente powers and Amenri
cans and citizens of other countrits,
who are shut out, are paying $35 a
ton to get goods from a ship through
-the customs. Every species of Levan
tinc thievery has been turned loose.
A modest hotel room costs from $5 to
$8 a day, with food in proportion, al
though the markets are full of pIo
duce. W
Food pris have increased 1,200
IC cen-t over those prevailing before
the war, while house rent has incras

full or fighting soldiers and sallors of
all nationalities, shooting off firearms.
The gambling houses are in full swing
for all classes, with the merchants,
when losers, making up their losses
by raising prices, although the ware
houses are overstocked.
The streets swarm with i)ickpock
ets, with the Turkish police claim
ing to be helpless because of the in
ter-allied control. The Turkish gov
ernment claims it is helpless to con,
duct the affairs for the same reason
that it has too many bosses.
The Turkish officials say that they
are afraid of the ultimate attitude of
Great Britin although recent speech
