FONCK PLANE IN ' CRASH;2 KILLED (Continued From Page 1) nothing left of it, but the metal portions of the framework. f The smoke rolled up like a plume, while around the plane was a halo of flame. Fonck announced Monday night that he would make his start today, setting 5:30 a. m. as the time. The plane was loaded, the men got their final night's sleefi before leaving for Paris, and joked over their last breakfast in America. Some Delay There was some delay in getting ,ready, but soon after 6 a. m. Fonck and Curtin climbed into the plane, where they joined Clavier and Islamoff. Fonck took the controls wdth Curtin beside him. The engine wa,s speeded up and slowly moved away down the field, while a thousand people sent up a lusty cheer. In the plane the men dould be seen bending to their wor*k. The engine was given more speed. But still the plane failed to answer. Finally it lifted a little from the ground and settled back. Asain it came up some four feet, but could not maintain it, and again dropped. The plane Was off the ground four or five feet when there was a sudden, muffled explosion, not sufficiently violent to be as I anything serious by the crowd, unthe plane careened at a giddy angle and fell into a gully which separates Roosevelt ancf Curtis flying fields. Two Thrown Out Just as it fell, spectators on one side of the field said, Curtin and Fonck were seen to be thrown from the plane. Hardly had the plane struck the ground than smoke poured from it and then tongues of flame leaped up. Soon it was apparent that ;the plane would bo probably a total! loss and it was certain that Clavier and Islamoff could not escape. The crowd surged down the field, about three-quarters of a mile to the spot where the plane-had fallen, but could not approach nearer than a few hundred yards of it, on account of the danger of explosion. Landing Gear Trouble Fonck and Curtin stepped en route to the Mayer home at the Sikorsky shops near the Fonck said he attributed the accident to trouble with the auxiliary landing gear. "I noticed the auxiliary landing gear had given way when we hit a bump,” Fonck said. “The right wheel went in an oblique angle and I could feel that it had torn the left rudder loose. * “At first I tried'to slow up, but then I knew it was useless to do that because the gully was so close. So I opened her up again, hoping to get into tho air, but I couldn’t do it and we smashed.” Fonck couldn’t explain how he and Curtin saved their lives. I , S. F. G. Barber of New York was the first man to reach Fonck and Curtin. ‘‘l saw them getting up from the ground,” he said. “As I ran up they were just onto their fdet. F.onck was on one side of the plane and Curtin on the other. Both were unsteady, their eyes were glossy and they cauldn’t speak. When the automobile with Fonck and Curtin passed the Sikorsky pla.nt where the plane was built, Igor Sikorsky, the Russian airplane builder, who had made the building of Fonck’s piano the climajc of his career as an airplane constructor, was sobbing pitifully. Crirtin and Fonck had sufficiently recovered to offer him comfort. By 7:30 a. m. the flanjes had died down sufficiently so that firemen could extinguish what remained of the fire and it was then possible to make the first survey of the plane, although the ashes still were too hot to permit search of its interior. The day had been ideal for the start. All night a cloudless sky was lighted- by the full moon and as morning approached Jupiter shone brightly as a guiding tetar for the flyers. It was just as the first, roseate streaks of dawn lighted the eastern skies that the plane taxied away from the start—arid it was but a matter of minutes until the wreck Captain Fonck and Lieutenant Curtin wont to the Mineola police headquarters and there made a formal statement to Coroner W. R. Jones of Hempstead Township. They then were ask<fed to appear jFriday afternoon before the coroner gor the inquest. “I have found nothing which would tend to "'show any blame attached,” Jones said after talking to Fonck arid Curtin.

The famous old Instrument was built in Sienna for Ferdinandd de Medici. Dr. Fabio Mocenni, a Florentine physician, bought it at a sale in 1820 for a cask of wine. It was purchased later by Crosby Brown and presented to the Metropolitan Museum In New York.

Radio Will Bring the Fight to You Thursday Night, September 23 v OF COURSE you’d like to have a ring-side seat when Jack and Gene step into the squared circle next Thursday night, but you, like most of us, just can’t do it. Still, you can see the great scrap via radio—and an Atwater Kent radio is no mean substitute for the real fight. Just tune in on the WEAF hook-up and hear the excited chatter—the expectant hush as the champion and challenger step through the ropes—followed by the wild roar of applause—the referee’s instructions —then the gong, and they’re off! Careful sparring at first —then the fierce thud of terrific blows as the principals gain confidence. Perhaps the champion will go down for the count. Perhaps Tunney’s hopes for a championship will be blasted. Who knows? But an Atwater Kent will tell just what happens, as it happens—accurately and interestingly.
