AV * JJ COURTS DEATH TO PLEASE BIC CROWD Cantlaurd From Fimt Pair*. ing thrilled every one watching him with a series of loop-the-loop or somer saults in the air and a flight upside down. He had gone up the second time to attempt a vertical flight, or go ing straight up, when the monoplane seemed to quiver for an instant after he had pointed its nose upward and .there was a flash of flame. 3> It was plaim that Beachey had not lost his nerve, as the machine sud denly rolled over and headed for the bay. But was beyond human control end dropped like a shot into the water Between the transports Logan and Crook, lying at the Fort Mason piers of the government. Strapped in the aluminum body so he could fly up side down, Beachey disappeared be neath the surface with the craft. Recovering the Body There was a rush of small boats to the spot where the craft went down i and a small piece of wood from the ; frame soon came to the surface. Vol unteers from the crew of the battle ship Oregon, including several divers, had put off in a launch and were soon on the spot. Joseph Maerz, one of the divers, signalled for lines half an hour after he had gone down. He lashed them to 1 the craft and the bluejackets drew ; it to the surface bearing Beachey's body. When the tail was out of the f water a heavy line was attached to a i donkey engine on the transport Crook t .and the machine lifted clear of the s water. Hillary Beachey, a brother of the aviator, witnessed the tragedy from the dwk of the Crook. The monoplane was a Gorman Taubo which Beachey had chosen to flv, in stead of his biplane which he had used, believing that with it he could make a vertical flight, the "last thing" in fly ing. It was a craft of small wing sur face. b Such flights were attempted abroad last suijtner, but success was question able. Engineers declared the feat the oretically possible, and Boachev was anxious to try it, whether they thought so or not. Most Daring American Aviator Lincoln Beachey was regarded as one of the most skilful and daring of Amer ican aviators. He earned this reputation long before the French flyers, headed by Pegoud, began to glide through t<he air upside down. Beachey was in retire ment when these feats were heralded, and was drawn back into the game bv his desire to exceed the remarkable fly ing of the Frenchmen. With an aeroplane of small swing surface Beachey flew upside down, made spirals head-downward and looped the loop. Beachey was born in San Francisco in 1887 and made his first flight in 1905 at Oakland, Cal., piloting a dirigible balloon. In 1906 he circled tthe Capitol at Washington. He soared over New York City in July, 1907. His motor failed and the wind whirled the dirigible, wrecking it. His first heavier-than-air machine, a monoplane, was wrecked at St. Paul in 1910. He mad£ a successful flight in Los Angeles, and soon afterward wrecked another flyer. First to Circle Capitol On May 5, 1911, he was the first man to circle the Capitol in Washington in an aeroplane. He then startled the HARRISftURG STAR-INDEPENDENT, MONDAY EVENING, MARCH 15, 1915. world by flying over Niagara Kails. Later he won the first inter-city aero plane race in America, flying from New ' ork to Philadelphia. He was the most I prominent figure in the 1911 Chicago aviation mevt, spiraling at sharp angle-;. Early in 1913 Beachey announce 1 | that he had made his last flight, .saving 'that he felt partly responsible for the [deaths of nine aviators who had tried i to emulate him. But when the deeds of : the daring Frenchmen were chronicled he returned to flying. In October, 1913, at Hammondsport, N. Y., his machine < swept several spectators from a roof, | killing one. Beachey used to say that 20,000,000 persons had seen him fly. I —— " PtOPLE'SjCOLUMN The Star-Independent does not j liake Itself responsible for opinion* xprcssed in this column. | ■> Full Crew Law and Small Roads Editor the Star-Independent. Dear Sir—Please print the follow ing clipping from the Perry County "Times," March 4, 1915, which shows how the full crew law affects small railroads: "Oxford, Pa., March 3. The farmers i in the southern corners of Chester and Lane-aster counties, are up in arms against the full crew—excess man crew—law. There is a very obvious reason for this. They see the absurdity of the workings of this law carried to an extreme. More than this, they have a very direct interest in the matter. About six months ago some forty of the richer farmers of this section bought the Lancaster, Oxford and Southern railway for $40,000. "This is a little railroad with twenty-eight miles of line. It makes the only transportation service through a country with about 2.50'0 popula tion. There is not much traffic on the road, either passengcty or freight. In fact, there are only two or three trains a day, each of winch carries one pas senger coach and a* many freight cars as the train requires. It is the rarest thing to see a train of ten cars. The average train consists of two to live cars. "U'nder the law ea*-h train, even if made up of only four cars, must carry a crew of live men —two on the engine and three on the train. This also holds if there are only two earn, which some times happens, when one of them carries freight, for the law provides that no railroad can 'operate over its road any freight train consist ing of less than thirty freight or other cars with a train crew consisting of less than five persons.' The farmer owners of this little railroad calculate that the wages of a train crew of five men almost equal the average earnings of three cars." This railroad is not altogether operated at a loss but practically so. Economies that must be practised by the management in lines, other than manning trains, would suggest to the average reader that there is little, if any, money left for the upkeep, to say nothing of taxes, and dividends for the investors. The farmer owners of this railroad, undoubtedly are suffering from the evils of the full crew law.
