Alfred J. Molant. president of ths

the stunning- news that John 7. Mota

but his property waa confiscated by the
government. Soon afterward he went to
Spain and later appeared In Faria when
the Wright brothers were there exhib

It was told of Molssant. at that time,
that he went to Perls to buy an aero
plane with the aid of which he planned
to sail Into the country from which
he had been excluded and In a spectacu

of the revolutionaries. However, so the
sLory goes, Muussant became ao In

cal condition that manbirds have to con
tend with.
There Is nothing by which it may be
known why Hoxsey did not go higher
than the 7142 feet which his barograph
showed he had attained, but he appar
ently encountered at that altitude the
same conflicting air currents that finally
overcame him. Notwithstanding this and
with the same reckless daring he has
displayed dally during the last week, he
descended by a series of spiral glides
and, performing- one of his thrilling roll
ing dips, when his biplane suddenly cap
sized in midair and shot to earth.
Over and over the aeroplane turned
as it fell with a speed so swift that, of
all the thousands who saw the tragedy,
not one could tell what effort the avi
ator made to save his life. When the
wreckage had been cleared sufficiently
so that his body could be reached he
was found firmly planted in his seat,
his arms around the levers. The fall
telescoped the biplane. The steel
sprocket which drove the propellers lay
across Hoxsey's face, the motor rest
ing upon the right side of his body.
Every one of the ribs on that side was
shattered Into fragments.. An Iron up
right, broken by the force of the crash,
held the aviator impaled on its Jagged
point.
The exact moment was 2:12 o'clock
when Hoxsey's machine turned over
and plunged In the fatal fall. The
news of Hoxsey's fall was on the tele
graph wires leading out of the press
stand before his machine struck the
ground. The aviator had been In the
air an hour and a half when the ac
cident happened, and bad sailed over
the snowcapped summit of Mount Wil
son, whose heights he had conquered
twice before since the meet began.
Walter Brooklns, who originated the
spiral glide and the dip which brought
Hoxsey to his death, was standing in
front of the press stand watching his
colleague of the Wright team perform.
His back was turned to the Held as
he talked to friends. Then the shout
went up:
"Hoxsey Is falling!"
At the same Instant a sigh or gasp,
not loud, but of a tremendous volume;
rose from the packed grandstand. That
single suppressed sigh was the only
sound that came from the crow-4 for
fully 20 minutes after the accident.
Brooklns whirled at the souid of the
cry and saw the crash. He uttered but
one word "God!" His legs gave way
beneath him and he fell in the road
way. Although he had been in several
serious accidents himself, he rose thor
oughly unnerved and cried like a child.
At that time the field announcers
were running up and down shouting
through their megaphones:
"No cause for alarm; Hoxsey is all
right"' But Brooklns was not con
vinced. "That's a lie," he shouted back at
one of the announcers. "Hoxsey's dead.
I know It," and again he burst into
tears.
Brooklns was not the only airman
overcome by the tragedy. Charles F.
Wlllard. of the Curtlss team, likewise
eollacsed. Wlllard had predicted Just
a moment before Hoxsey fell that an
accident was sure to overtake htm In
tha dangerous atmosphere, and almost
before be had completed the utterance
of his prophecy It was verified.

biplane fell. Leaping out of his ma
chine, the little Frenchman was among
the first to attack the wreckage and
lift the motor from the dead aviator's
body.
Latham said he was watching Hox
sey when he entered the vortex of the
counter-currents that caused his fall.
"It was the same hole In the air that
caused me to alight." said the French
man. "From the actions of Hoxsey's
biplane the conflicting currents were
warring 1700 or 1800 feet up. When
Hoxsey started his last glide one cur
rent caught the right end of his planes
and lifted the machine up and turned
It over.
"At best In these spiral glides an
aviator has but a very dangerously
narrow margin of air to support him.
Hoxsey seemed to slip out of the bank
entirely and he fell Hke a brick. In
my opinion the fall was due entirely to
treacherous air currents. I never saw
such bad meteorological conditions In
my life as prevailed today. Hoxsey's
machine was Intact until It struck the
ground."

Nor was there any excitement or con
fusion when H. La V. Twining, presi
dent of the Aero Club of California and
chief Judge of the field, came back to
the Judges' stand and In answer to a
query whether Hoxsey was dead or
alive, said:
"Dead as a nail."
Everyone In the boxes that lined the
course heard Mr. Twining's sentence.
A few women raised their handker
chiefs to their faces and sobbed, but
that was all.
Without waiting for the announce
ment that all flying events were off for
the day, the crowd of its Own accord
began filing out through the exits to
go home. Only a few scattering, dis
gruntled ones remained to demand back
their admission fees, to dispute with
police and committeemen when their
demands were curtly refused until ar
rangements could be made for proper
refunding. Even this thoughtless few
left within an hour after the accident.
In departng, r.o one sought to hang
about the little field hospital in which
the dead aviator's body lay. Sorrow, not
curiosity, was the sentiment apparently
uppermost in every heart. Hoxsey had
been a hero with the crowd since the
meet began.
Before 4 o'clock the entire Held waa
cleared. A pale of silence seemed to en
velop the entire park, embracing aviators
and spectators. Every flag was half
masted and every scrap of fluttering
bunting was tied down. The entire field
was stripped bare of all festive symbols.
Tonight, grandstand and boxes were
denuded of all decoration, excepting some
mute expression of mourning left by the
aviators
All the amateurs who had been ex
perimenting with flying machines made
Immediate preparations to quit the flying
game. Two tents were removed within
a few minutes after Hoxsey's crash to
earth.
One tent was blown down by the wind
that caused the tragedy and two ma
chines, which had been standing on an
eminence to the northwest of the Held,
were wrecked by the gale aa they stood
on the ground. One of these belonged
to Frank Stites and the other to George
Demwler, both local aviators. Both 'were
biplanes and only the motors and pro
peller of each were saved out of the
wreckage.
The Coroner's office In Loa Angeles
was notified of the tragedy within a
few minutes after its occurrence. Coro

paneled a Jury and held an Inquest on
the field. It was a short formality. In

field where the wrecked aeroplane lay. A
verdict of accidental death was rendered
in a few minutes and Hoxsey's body,
which had been laid vpon the operating
table In the little field hospital, was taken
to Los Angeles to be prepared for In
