LONG BTCACH. Cal., April X. Cal
bralth P. Rodger, an aviator of world.
i'Mi fame and the first man to cross
the American continent In an aero,
plane, was almost Instantly killed here
this afternoon, when his Wright bi
plane. In which ha was soaring over
the ocean, crashed Into tho surf from
a height of 200 feet and burled him
In the wreck.
Ills neck waa broken and his body
crushed by the engine of his machine.
He lived only a few minutes.
Rodg-ers for a week past had been
maklnc dally flights here and had
taken many passengers, both men and
women, up with him. Ho started to
day from his usual place and soared
ut over the ocean, crossing- the pier,
nd then turned and dipped close to
the roller coaster.
fiwmrt With Galls Aaaaae.
Seeing a flock of gulls disporting
themselves among a great school of
sardines Just over the breakers, Rod
prrs again turned and dived down
Into them, scattering the feathered sea
f-Ja-aTTn'-aJl directions.
Highly elated with the outcome of
Ms dive. Rodgers then flew farther
out to sea. all the time gradually ris
ing until he had reached a height of
about 20 feet, flaking a short turn,
be started full speed for the pier. Then
he suddenly dipped his planes and his
machine began a frightful descent.
Crowds See Flaa! Crash.
Rodgers was seen by hundreds of
persona on the pier to relax his bold
on the levers and then, seemingly
realising that ho was la danger, he
made strenuous efforts to pull the nose
of his machine Into a level position.
Failing In this, he managed to turn his
rraft farther Inshore and an instant
later the huge craft crashed Into the
edge of the surf, not tOO feet from the
spot where on December 10 last he
had finished his ocean-to-ocean flight.
IJfeguards were the first to reach
the Injured man. They said Rodgers
bead was banging over one wing of
the machine, the heavy engine on his
back and his feet drawn up, nearly
doubling over his shoulders. Blood waa
flowing freely from bis mouth.
' Keek. Jawswae ams Bark Brekea.
As quickly as possible. Rodgers mss
burrled to the bathhouse hospital,
where Ir. A. W. Buell pronounced him
dead.
From a harried examination. It waa
determined that Rodgers neck, jaw
bone and back had been broken. A
telegram waa at once sent to the
aviator's widow, who resides In rasa
dena, and a cablegram to his mother,
Mrs. II. S. Sen wr I tier, now in London.
The body was prepared for burial and
sent to Pasadena tonight.
The machine that Rodgers used to
day was the one with which he won
J11.00 In prises last July at the Chi
cago endurance meet. It Is a total
wreck, many parts being swept out to
ea by the tide.
Rodgers cousin. Lieutenant John
Rodgers. V. 8. N , Is now attached to
the aeroplane section of the Navy,
stationed at fan Diego.
Cleae Frieaaa Wltaeae) Aertdeal.
Charles Kharfer, a close friend of
Rodgers and who came here on the
special train that followed the aviator
on bla transcontinental trip, witnessed
the accident. Charles Wiggins, of
J 'art on. O . whom Rogers brought here
to teach flying, stood on the, pier and
saw his friend fall.
In speaking of Rodgers care-free
spirit while in flte air. Mr. Shaffer,
w ho had taken many flights with
'.orlin, said the worst example of
carelessness he had ever seen waa
when flying with Kidgers yesterday.
"We had risen to a height of about
ia.)0 feet." said Shaffer. "Rodgers.
fining he was tired, lay back, folded
hl. hands behind his head and
stretched out his feet, seemingly en
Joying the scenery. I said to him: 'You
better watch out, Cal. the wind might
get you": but he answered, "Oh. we're
all right: she's ridden the wind be
ure and she'll ride it now.'
Fertaae Made la Air.
Frank Shaffer. Rodgers' mechanician.
no had been with the aviator since
he started his transcontinental trip,
said tonight that Rodgers had made
liO.OOt in aviation, and had several
good contracts at the time he was
killed. One of these wss for 15 flights
In the Fsst. and Rodgers was to have
Vft for Chicago in .three weeks.
.-naffer said he believed that mls
fudgtng distance caused Rodgers
death. "Rodgers probably thought he
til higher in the air than he really
was." said Shaffer, "and turned his
Manes too far over, causing him to
descend so rar-ldly that he did not have
time to richt his machine after seeing
bat was so close to the water."

CAMPA LOSES ONE BIG GUN
Madero's Men Reinforced for
Engagement Today.
PARRAL TO BE ATTACKED
Country Chosen for Rattlcfied Is Ex
tremely Rugged and It May Re
quire Several Days for
Ultimate Conclusion.
JIMENEZ. Mexico. April Z. The
troops of Madero gained their first
victory in Northern Mexico when they
defeated the liberal General, Campa. at
Parral and sent him scurrying back to
the bsse at this city.
Instead of finding a handful of de
fenders st Parral under General Plncho
Villa. Campa was met by deadly fire
from a force which he estimated at
1000 under the command of Generals
Villa. Telles, Urbina and Soto.
Campa opened the fight at dawn yes
terday, firing at long range with his
artillery. Attempting to press closer,
he was met by a withering fire and re
treated, having lost three killed and 12
wounded, according to his own report
today, and having lost one of his big
guns.
Rrbela Put on Defensive.
The presence of the federals in force
at Parral and the knowledge that an
other government force Is approaching
Escalon seem to indicate that the reb
els must abandon their campaign
against Torreon and defend themselves
In decisive battle in the neighborhood
of Jimenez.
The government troops apparently
have been strongly reinforced and re
organised and determined to retrieve
their recent defeat, brought abo-I
largely by blunders and accidents, and
to press the fighting. General Pascual
Orozco now faces an enemy on his
flank at Parral and another coming
from the south, presumably under Gen
eral Huerta, with 2000 men, who waa
hurried north from the City of Mexico
a week ago, but too late to avert de
feat at that time.
Federals Pursue Kneniy.
Campa left here Monday with 600
men and met no opposition until. In
front of Parral. he was allowed to take
a seemingly advantageous position
without opposition. No sooner had he
posted his men, however, than he dis
covered. In a rain of bullets and shell,
that the federals were concealed on a
commanding hill known as La Prieta.

SEATTLE, Wash., April 3. Mrs.
Margaret McReynolds, divorced wife

the marine officer who is the com
plaining witness against Lieutenant
Chandler K. Jones, U. S. N.. on trial
by courtmartlal at the Fugct Sound:
Navy-Yard, accused of conduct unbe
coming an officer and a gentleman,
went on the stand in behalf of Lieu
tenant Jones today. .
The appearance of Mrs. McReynolds
was a complete surprise, as the prose
cution had announced that she could
not be found and It was generally be
lieved that she was in Baltimore.
Frank H. Kelley, of Tacoma, coun.sel
for the defense, prefaced Mrs. Mc
Reynolds' testimony by a lengthy
statement In which he asserted the de
fense would undertake to show that
Lieutenant Jones, who is charged with
breaking up the home of Lieutenant
McReynolds was. In fact, acting in
the honorable role of a gentleman who
had responded to an appeal from a
virtuous wife to protect her from the
brutalities of an insanely Jealous hus
band. Quarrel of Long Standing.
He declared that Mrs. McRey:iolds
and her husband had quarreled years
before coming to Bremerton and that
in Cuba Lieutenant McReynolds was
under surveillance for a time as to
his sanity.'
Mr. Kelley said that Mrs. McReyn
olds' good name had been attacked
and that it was to defend her honor
that she had. come from the East to
explain her acts and those of Lieuten
ant Jones.
The attorney declared Lieutenant
Jones had offered to protect and care
for Mrs. McReynolds only after she
had promised to marry him after she
became divorced from her husband,'
with whom, she said, a reconciliation
was impossible.
Woman Witness Nervous,
Mrs. McReynolds was plainly nerv
ous when she took the stand and fre
quently spoke so low that her replies
were Inaudible.
She said that a little more than a
year ago she had a serious quarrel
with her husband and that he told her
If she did not obey his every com
mand sho would have to leave him.
The cause of the quarrel, she said,
was her refusal to sign the renewal
of a note for $500 held by John Arm
strong, an enlisted man at headquart
ers, from whom her husband had bor
rowed money. She said she refused
to sign the renewal because her hus
band would not tell her why he bor
rowed the money.
New York Woman In Case.
"i was led to believe it was to pay
the hospital btll of a woman in New
York named Polly Stewart," added the
witness.
Mrs. McReynolds testified that Lieu
tenant Jones was in no way responsi
ble for the separation and said that
after she left her husband she asked
the Naval officer to accompany her
East on her trip.
She said her husband gave her $75
to go to her Homo In Kentucky, but
that he knew it would take $85 or
$90 and that this made it necessary
for her to get financla. assistance be
fore she could make the journey.
Mrs. McReynolds was on the stand
when court adjourned.
