. SAN FRANCISCO. March 14.
The spectacular career of Lincoln
Feacbey, one of the most daring of
American aviators, was ended today
when he fell to his death at. the
ranahia-raciric exposition in light
of thousands of spectators.
Beachey was completing hia Sec
ond flight of the day when the ac
cident occurred. Having previously
electrified the crowd with a series of
serial somersaults, the airman
sought to add an. additional thrill by
making one of theensatlonal per
pendicular drops which usually
featured hiH flights.
The fatal fall was attributed to
tic fact that Beachey entrusted bis
life today for the first time to a
monoplane.
An exceptionally Urge crowd had baea
attracted to the fair grounds to see
whether he wou:d attempt tha same
bio: th-tnking stunts in the new machine
tli-t ho hnd performed In hia trim little j
blllnne.

On the ,"irt flight all went well and
Hi- n Utor familicr tri'ks were Indulged
In v.- ill t lie exception of the perpendicular
''i":. Tliis Beachey had saved for the
c'mihx. It pioved too much of a strain
lor the frame of the monoplane.
Th.' mechlne wag at an altitude of about
7.1 ifl feet when Beachey shut off his
I owcr. For several thousand feet It
iJupr.ed head-on for the earth and then
the aviator grasped his control levers to
nd.iuf-t the planes for the graceful descent
which had characterized his previous
flights.
Machine Wlusta Cramhle.
At that point the wlnrs crumpled like
a collapsed umbrella and the aeroplane,
turning; over and over tn its fall, plunged
into Baa Francisco bay. narowly missing;
a. vessel lying at the government trans
port docks. ' ' '
'Thousands ef spectators rushed t the
nearby waterfront, but with the exemption
of a few splintered fragments of the aero
plane floating on the surface of the bay
no sign of tha wrecked machine cotil t be
seen. Launches put out immediately
equipped with grappling hooks and a
boat's crew from the battleship Oregon,
which was anchored In the stream a short
distance away, joined in an attempt to
recover the body of the aviator, who was
strapped to hts machine tinder forty feet
of water. ,
The body wss recovered shortly after i
o'clock. , ...... '
Lincoln Beachey was regarded as the
mod skillful and daring of' American
aviators. He earned' his reputation loi g
before French fliers began gliding through
the air upside down. Beachey was In re-j
tironent when Pegoud began to perform!
unheard of feats In the sir and was drawn )'
back Into the game by his desire to j
demonstrate he could duplicate the ' re-!
markable flying ef the foreigner.
tVoald Rival the Birds.
- Beachey had made a machine with a
small flying surface and a, powerful
motor. 'Then he started out, aa he ex
pressed . It, "to outfly the birds." He
Hew (upside down,' made spirals, while
head downward, looped the loop and
did other "atunta" a thousand feet above
the earth which the Wrights and other
had never believed were possible.,
Beachey was Interested in aeronautics
as a school boy. He was born in San
Francisco in September, 1SS7. At 13 he
entered the employ of a balloonist an
began to study aerial navigation. He
reads his first flight at Jdora park,
Oaklanft- Cel., in February., 1905. piloting
George I lea ton's dirigible balloon. He
was 17 years old at the time.
In August of that year lie flew at the
Lcandep-Clark exposition at Portland,
Oie., as aeronaut for Captain T. S. Bald
win. His flights there were not com
pletely successful, but he kept on trying.
In IMS-Beachey joined Itpy Knabenschue.
He created a sensation In July of that
year by flying around the dome of the
national capttol to the astonishment of
thousands snd caused the adjournment
of the houae of represent stives. Scores

stantly enveloping the cradle and the
entire room In flames.
The father, Tony Galizia, the
grandfather, Frank Palaz, and a

mother rising from her sick bed and
joiniug in the battle all to no avail
All these were more or less burned
