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.

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.
