English Aviator Killed When Biplane Falls One Hundred Feet

Charles Stewart Roils, a titled Englishman and a daring aviator, was dashed to death at Bournemouth, England, Tuesday, when his Wright biplane, in which he was giving an exhibition, fell a distance of 100 feet. Rolls had previously made a successful flight across the English channel and back again and he was regarded as one of the most successful aviators. He was also very popular among the aristocratic English sportsmen. There were other aeroplane accidents Tuesday, one resulting fatally. Glenn Curtis, at Atlantic -City, reached a height of 300 feet and dropped mock bombs on yachts and forts, shewing what might be accomplished in time of war.
