AIRSHIP BURSTS
ON TRIAL TRIP
INJURING SIXTEEN
OREGON LOSES
BOTH GAMES
TO CORVALLIS
Oakland. Cal., May 23 The Mor-'
rell airship, the largest ever con
structed, collapsed on Its trial trip'
when about 300 feet above Ihe
t round today, and dashed Its sixteen
occupants to the earth. None of them,
were killed, but all seriously hurl,
suffering from broken limbs and
other injuries. It is believed Hint:
several will die.
Thousands of people had KiiCiered'
to witness Hie trial of the Klant ship,
which Is 4.UI feet loni; and ill! feet lu'
diameter, a conibinaliou of the aero- '
plane anil dlrlKlhlo air craft, iliiv.'U

200 horsepower. It rose successfully
from the ground, and sixteen men In-i
terestcd ill the invention agreed to
take a trial trip before taking stock
In (be machine. All were ivsldeu'.s
of Oakland and Berkeley. J
Suddenly the big gas bag.' contain-'

gnu to settle slowly ns the R is es-'
caped. and It appeared It would make
an easy descent. However, when 7a
feet from the ground It suddenly shot
downward with terrific force, and
the occupants were caught under the
wreckage.
Among tho spectators were many
women, scores of whom fainted dur
ing the descent of the airship.
When the grc.it gas bug burst
there was a panic in the Immense
crowd watching Hie asc -nsloii
When the big craft, which altogeth
er weighed five tons, settled lo the
ground, hundreds of men rushed for
ward with knives ami ripped the silk
which held the little gas which re
mained, so that the fumes would not
asphyxiate the Injured. The heavy
engines were responsible for the In
Jury of most of the occupants.
The Injured were Imniedlalel)
placed lu automobiles and express
wagons and taken to the Roosevelt
hospital.
The Morrell airship was built at a
cost of $'.10,000, and was designed
primarily to enter the contest wlih
various aerial crafe I n the
Kast. The cause of tlte collapse baa
not been ascetalned, but probalily
thero was a -weak spot which gavu
wiy to the tremendous pressure.
