DARING AVIATORS, LOST IN FOG
AND WIND, FALL AT BIG
MEET.
HOFF IS THOUGHT TO BE DYING
Many Machines Are Wrecked As Air
Navigators Are Driven To
Ground Palmer
Safe.
OAKLAND, Feb. 17. Opening of an
aviation meet at the old Emeryville
racetrack near here today was bap
tized with blood. Tonight William H.
Hoff, a San Francisco aviator, lies
probably dying in a hospital and a
half dozen of hi3 fellow aviators, more
fortunate than he in escaping from
the wreckage of their machines, are
nerving themselves to play again to
morrow the hide-and-seek game with
death which lurks in the ocean fogs
and the gusty winds of San Francisco
Bay.
Phil O. Parmalee, Glenn Martin,
Horace F. Kearney and Hillory
Beachey were among those whose
machines were driven to the ground.
One after another the biplanes were
caught by the wind which was broken
into combatting currents by the is
lands of San Francisco Bay and the
hills and mountains that surround It.
Before the aviators could pitch their
planes to meet one burst of the half
gale, another, from a different direc
tion, would upset their entire equilib
rium. Palmer ,the youngest aviator at the
meet, became lost in the fog and it
was feared he had fallen into the swift
tide which races past the Federal
military prison Qn Alcatraz Island, but
he finally landed.

WASHINGTON AND
BROWNELL AND EDWARDS TELL
OF WORK OF TWO
GREAT PATRIOTS.
MEADE POST HAS BIG CELEBRATION
Emancipator Held Up To Youth Of
Land as Example Father
of Country Called
Peace Lover.
George C- Brownell and the Rev.
George N. Edwards, pastor of the Con
gregational church, delivered eloquent
and forceful addresses Saturday after
noon at the meeting of Meade Post
Grand Army of the Republic and the
Woman's Relief Corps in Willamette
Hall at the celebration of the anni
versaries of the births of Washington
and Lincoln. . Mr. Brownell spoke up
on the life and achievements of Lin
coln and Mr. Edwards spoke upon
Washington.
The hall was crowded and the speak
ers were liberally applauded. The
musical program was unusually fine.
Kenneth Woodward, Mrs. George Ran
dall and others rendered solos and
Miss Howell gave several selections
on the piano. Mr. Brownell declared
that only once in a thousand years
was a man like Lincoln born. .
"His life should be an inspiration
to our children," said the speaker."
"When we think of the hardships he
encountered, the deprivations, the mis
fortunes and how he surmounted all ,
of them it is truly remarkable, and
the children of today who have so
many advantages should profit by the
example set by this great man who
was so greatly handicapped and rose
above everything."
Mr. Brownell's address was consid
ered by those present as. one of tha
best he has ever made. He was in
fine voice, and the subject was one to
which he has given much study, and
thought.
"Americans can well take time to
remember Washington not only for
what he did to make the nation a pos
sibility but for what he was as a
man," said Mr. Edwards.. "We are
juinio mmwrnHl nowadavs to find a
way to keep peace between the na--
tions, yet I venture to uiuk ui mo
soldierly qualities of Georgft Washing
ton are well worth our study."
Mr. Edwards told of Washington's
struggles and his final successes, clos
ing as follows:
"Waahimrton was first in war be
cause he loved peace and he fought
, o CniHi that, ha mieht make Am
erican citizenship a peaceful and glor
ious reality. .
