before noon today ami was wrecked ft
landed upside down. Mr. Crovvell ami
Lieutenant Cleurj iu'vc ,builly shnkri'
up, but were othfrwisp unhurt.
Mr. f'rowell served an official staiter
of the trunKcatitineutnl derby, the
sreate.t aviation contest in history, in
which nearly 1(H) army airplanes nre
participating. About sixty of them
started from here thl morning for 11
flight to San l'raniisi-o and return.
The others nre timing heie from San
Francisco nnd will go back to the l'a
rifie roaet.
The assistant ,..-retary of war de
cided to take n brief flight after most
of the contestants had started, lie and
Lieutenant Cleary were strapped in the
marhlne. but climbed out unaided n
few seconds after it had crashed to
the earth. The war official's first re
mark after regaining his feet was :
"I'm sorry the ride was so short. Tt
'was certainly one of the shortest on
record."
The machine had been in the air
less than a minute. Mr. Crowell said
he would make n flight in unother ma
chine later in the day.
The pilot, explaining the accident.
said the engine stopped and in order
to avoid running into a hangar nnd in
juring a number of persons ho was
forced to turn his machine abruptly
Around with the result thnt it toppled
over. The wrecked machine was not
in the race.
Machle Is First to Marl
Lieutenant .1. U. Machle. in a He
IIavllaml-4 machine equipped with a
Liberty motor, was the first to leave
Mineola, starting at 0:10 a. m. Ser
jeant Jesse D. MeClure accompanied
him.
As each machine took the air it
quickly climbed to a high altitude and
within a few minutes was lot to view.
The crowd on Roosevelt Field was kept
back a distance of nearly a mile from
the starting point and was apprised by
army messengers of the departure of
each competitor, whose number could
not be discerned owing to the haze.
Lieutenant Colonel H. K. Htirtney
was the second to leave, lie got away

Ten machines, all of which flew in a
northwesterly direction, had left Roose

speed of 120 to lfiO miles an hour.
Flying Conditions Excellent
Because of the fine flying conditions
army officials predicted many of the
contestants would reach Cleveland by
nightfall.
The race gives the false impression
that aerial nctlvity in the United States
Is greater than anywhere els? in the
world, said Mr. Crowell.
The contest, which is limited to mili
tary aviators, is for the purpose of test
ing the reliability of the planes nnd
stimulating interest in recruiting for the

Of the employes' training school. Mr..
F.kholm declared such a practice would
provide, better employes for the hotels
of tho country and also eradicute'innuy
of the radical tendencies that now pie
