FAMOUS AVIATRIX
FALLS TO fBATH
Laura Bromwell Loses Life When
Plane Crashes. Held World Record.
Mineolu, N. Y., June 5.-Miss Laura
B1romwell, holder ot the loop .the loop
record for women, and one of the best
known 'women pilots in the world, was
killed at Mitchell fild this afternoon.
Miss Dromwel[ was flying at an alti
tude 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 190p the 1001)
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 130 miles an hour.
MiJit ary observera who witnessed
the flight declared the girl's ainlane
motor stopped abruptly as she was
naking the upward turn of the 1001).
Suddenly-, the machine fell backward
Into a tall spin and dropped like a
planmet onto a road just outside the
field.
Hundreds of spectators gasped as
the plane fell and then rushed to
where it struck the ground. The girl's
lifeless body was found in the tan
gled wreckage. Miss Bromwell had

tested her machine -before engaging
14 her stunts, army officers said, and
she pronounced it in good condition.
Miss tBromwell's machine went
through the first loop with the grace
of a 'bird. She had Just started a sec
ond when suddenly the hum of the
motor stopped and the plane lurched
sidewise. It seemed to remain sus
pended a minute and then started its
meteoric diop.
A dark object fell from the machine
and many spectators, thinking that
the straps holding the aviatrix in her
seat had broken, shuddered and
turned their heads. It later proved
to be a seat cushion, released when
Miss Bromiwell was swung clear of the
seat as the plano started to fall, up
side down.
Experienced avi-ators declared the
girl's apparent inaibility to manipulate
the control levers in an effort to right
the plane 'probably was due to having
swung from the seat so far she could
not reach them.
She was flying high enough, they
said, to have brought the plane safe
ly to earth, although the motor had
stopped.

out of order. Sho. 'borrowed a Cana
dian training plane, a type which,
'because of Miss 'Bromwell's email
stature, she was unuilted 'to stunt. I
warsed her not to attemipt to loop it,
but she disregarded the instructions.
In the middle of the sec9nd loop the
cushion she sat on fell out and she
evidently slipped out of reach of the
controls and was unable to right the
plane.

all controls to be in working order."

DADLY DISRUPTED
Holidays Prevent Considerable Trad.
Ing. Weather Big Factor.
New Orleans, June 5.-Prices moved
within a narrow range in the cotton
market last week. Trading was badly
broken up by the holidays of the week.
The tendency of values 'was to sink

prices were the lowest and they
show'ed net losses of 38 to 52 points,
July sinking to 12.02. At the highest
of the week the list was 14 points

the preceding week with July at 12.55.
In the spot department -middling lost
