Dix at the ceremony. They included Gov. and Mrs. White, Henry and Mrs. Koenig and Mr.

Sirs. Douglas will be able to attend tho inaugural ceremony. At midnight Gov. and Mrs. Dix and Gov.

"Nobody's business," was the crisp reply, and then the doctor said: "Como witii me.

Awoy off to the South nnd Southwest and West I have a stack of neglected children. I have not forgotten them in former years, and unlo-s all my remaining funds are eaten up by the high cost of living may have something left for final distribution."

He lost control of his machine nt height of 2im feet. At 100 feet elevntion-he fell out of his machine. Neither man was killed instantly, lloxsey's heart win still beating when ho was removed from the wreck of his mn-chino. Ho died just before ho was put on an operntlng table at tho emergency hospital. He never vas conscious after ho struck tho ground.

Molsant was unconscious when picked up. but flied a fow minutes later whllo being taken on a special trnin to New Orleans hospital. ltoth men wore seeking to make new records. Hoxsey was trying to surpass his world's record altitude flight of ll, 174 feet, which ho made at Los Angeles on Monday last Moisant waA trying for the Michelin long distance prize, which other aviators in other lands were seeking yesterday and which Tabuteau won on Friday at Hue, France. According to some aviation fatality records, Hoxsey was tho fortieth aviator to bo killed since tho sport or science of flying in heavier than air machines began.

Moisant was the thirty-ninth victim, having been killed almost oxnetly six hours before Hoxsey Of these forty deaths thirty in roi nd numliers have occurred this year. Ralph Johnstone, nnother of the Wright fliers, who was Ho.xsey's greatest rival in altitude flights, was killed a few weeks ago in Denver Cecil Grace, who had sought to outdo Moisant's Channel flight by a trip from England to France and back, has never been heard from since ho left Calais.

Hoxsey was doing the spiral dip when he fell Ho dropped with his biplane a distance estimated nt 530 feet. Ho was caught beneath tho hoavy motor of the machine and his head and breast worn cnished The only sign of lifo when his associates reached his side was tho faint beating of his heart, and oven this ceased before he could bo carried into tho emergency hospital on tho ground Hoxsey's mother, whoso home is in rnsadena, was not present when her son was killed She had watched him for several days with a mother's pride, but tiring of tho spectacle remained in her rose covered cottage to-day Seventy-five thousand persons in tho grand stand saw the tragedy, but for some time did not know that Hoxsey had been killed He fell to the ground a quarter of a mile from tho grand stand and the first reports given out wore merely that ho had been hurt It was feared that If the facts were announced nt once a stampede or a panic would bo tho result AKTKK ANOTHER At.TITnPF.

In fow minutes tho biplane was visibly larger and was descending in a sweeping, Krocoful spiral. Then Hoxsey went Into the first of the spiral dips, one of which cost him liU lifo. A fow seconds later he lost control of his biplano and it shot downward with terri fying speed. It struck Iho ground nnd crumpled like an epgshell At tho place where ho fell there Is a hill amies lie struck just beyond It it was impossible for tho crowd in the grand stand to see tho crumpled mass of tho machine lying on tho ground.

Rut tho tragedy was obvious from the rocketlike fall of tho biplane. 'I hero was a great sob from tho grand stand. All tho aviators on tho field, the men employed about the hangars and those connected with th manage-ment of the event, inn to tho scene nnd worked with feverish speed to remove the tangled wreckage and lift the end of the motor resting on Hoxsey'n head and chest Hoxsey. Iho pride ot the meet, never moved.

Walter Urookint, now tho only survivor of tlio daring Wright trio. Johnstone, Hoxsey and Urookint, was standing near the grand stand as Hoxsey fell Urookins staggered, loaned against a support and covered his iye. with his arm. He Knew what it meant. Only few weeks ago he had seen Ralph John-Ftone killed at Denver while attempting the same spiral dip.

A few minutes later ho hurried toward the Hoxsey wreck to learn the extent of accident and after a glr.ncu nt the body il'sippeared Later he was found, but he was so shocked and unnerved that he could scarcely discuss it All tho aviators who were in Iho air to-day reporte4 that unusual conditions existed; thnt ther were strange eddies and powerful currents to battle ngainst. Hoxsey fought every foot of tho way to attain the altitude he did und fought to control his nlr craft on his way back to earth. It Is believed that ono of the sido supports of tho biplane broke because of the strong strain made by the spiral dip and that It left him powerless to control It. When Hoxsey started down front his highest point after having been out of sight for an hour and fifteen minutes it was not apparent that ho wan having trouble. A few minutes later, however, when he wan much lower, the experienced aviators on tho ground saw that he was having considerable difficulty.

At times his biplane seemed almost to bo standing on end. At a place few feet above tho 500 mark it tilted aharply und lgan turning over. nnorrED like a rM'MMET. It is that Hoxsey begun falling nt an altitude of 1,000 feet. Relow that height there was no indication thnt he was controlling tho movements: of the Tiiplnne, but the sheer drop started about 530 feet above the ground.

No ono in the grand stand saw- that he was falling until the biplane dropped straight as a plummet. When tho great crowd learned of Hoxsey's death thousands rushed toward tho sceno of the accident. All the special police on tho field were required to press buck the throng. An examination of Hoxsey's injuries in the emergency liospit.il showed that all the ribs on his right side hud been crushed. The weight of the motor wus on his right side.

His right leg wns broken in sevcial places. A sprocket wheel of the motor rested on the rigid sido of hi face. Hit right jaw was broken. Hoxsey had been the life of the meet here He hud attempted altitude flights daily and much of tho time was out of sight of tho thousands below him, so that the question, "Has any one hero seen Hoxsey?" came to bo a phrase bandied about for Ihe amusement of thousands who looked to him for much of their entertainment and who marvelled at hit performances. On Monday Hoxsey smashed the world's altitude record and when lie returned to earth was carried about on the shoulder of men who were half crazed by his feat Yesterday he set a new American endurance record by remaining in tho air three hours sixteen minutes nnd fifteen seconds.

"Poor Hoxsey" was sentiment expressed by thousands of those who streamed from the grand stand after the tragedy, for the remainder of tho programme for the day was abandoned as soon uf. tlio surgeons reported Hoxsey's death. "Hoxsey was not a reckless man, in my opinion," said Roy Knabenshue, local representative for tho Wright Company, after the accident "All of us regarded Johnstone, who was killed nt Denver, as the one most given to taking desperate chanqes Hoxsey was inclined to high (lying and wo relied on him to set new-marks in altitude work. Johnstone ami Urookins did the manoeuvring, performing the spiral dip, the ocean wave and similar thrillers, hut Hoxsey did little of that sort of work "1 am bjtisfled that the storm which prevailed between 500 and l.noo feet above the field was responsible for tho tragedy At those altitudes the wind was blowing not less than twenty miles an hour it was not steady, however, and there were many eddies and whirlpools, Aviation has not progressed to the point where the man who Is handling a biplane can guard against all these things.

"Poor fellow.

I guess he was tired out just, just couldn't fight re any longer," said Hoxsey. The barograph of tho wrecked biplane was read this evening It registered 7,1 12 feet as tho greatest height, attainod.

New Oklkans. Dec. 31. John II. Moi sant, tho Chicago soldier of fortune who in six months became one of the foremost American aviators, wns killed by a fall this morning near tho levee cloven miles from ew Orleans.

Tho drop that precipitated Moisant to hit dentil occurred so quickly that It was lacking in tho spectacular and tho group of men who rushed up to the aviator after his fall refused to believe that ha hnd sustained serious accident. Gen. Francisco Altschul, witii whom Moisant fought in Cent ml America, hurried to Moisant a moment after tho fnll. "Dead!" exclaimed Altschul. "No; that dear boy Mois.mt has more lives than a flock of kittens.

I have seen him twostep with death so often thnt edd bones got disgusted nnd refused to have anything more to do with him. Lift up his head and I'll bet he'll smile." They lifted up Moisant's head nnd they found the smile, but he had only faint pul-o bent. Hit neck was broken. Mois.mt was trying out a 50 horsepower Hleriot machine to which 1 was unaccustomed when ho took tlio plunge.
