VERY BADLY
NEW YORK, March 6.—Not more
than $100. and according to one story.
only $50, was the fee Harry FrYoung,
a."human fly." contracted to receive
for the stunt which yesterday ended
in his death when he fell from the
ninth floor level of the front wall of
the Hotel Martinique and crashed on
the pavement below. The money was
not paid in advance.
Though the walls were slippery 13¢-
cause of the moisture laden air. Young
was creeping swiftly up the wall at a
pace faster than s. hod carrier emu
plays going up a ladder. Young had
nothing but three inch spaces into
which he stuck his toes and fingers.
.‘Young apparently jumped at the
“chance to risk his life for a small sum.
for his young widow. a 20 year ‘old
bride of a. few months. said he had not
worked all winter. So needy was be
for money that she said he was per-
fecting an unheard of stunt. “upside

to introduce it over Niagéra Falls.

Dear George:
What is this I heart Milton!
11°28; ‘3; limited down m other
morning? That sure to tough luck...
but really. it never expect to see a
building saved in that town when it
once gets a good start. The firemen
are fine and are good workers, but
that can they do when thereis
nothing for them to work with? 'I'lrm.~ it
new pumper has not arrived yet, has
it George. it is a shame they don’t
do something up there. Pensacola is a.
much‘ smaller town than No 11:.
much poorer. It is what you all!
call a. poor town. Very little manufac-
turing or anything else for the people
to make a living by. And just because-
it is in Florida. don’t get the impres-
sion that thousands of tourists come
here. because they don't. The climdte
isn't what you would call ideal. Two. .
thirds of the crew of the ship have the
flu so you can see that it isn't so very, '
healthful. There are only three or
four ggod buildings in the town, the
rest are just shacks. But—when it
comes to the fire department. you can
not compare it with Norwalk's. They”
have four pumpers. four combination
hose and chemical wagons and a hook ‘ «‘
and ladder just like ours. They are.
all American LaFrance. Probably this
fire‘will wake the old fogies up to the
fact that big fires cost money, and it
costs less to have apparatus to prevent
them.
From the dope flying around just
now. the Langley will leave for Pans.-
ma on March 12 to take part in the
fleet maneuvers. We don't know how
soon we are coming north and ii:
would’t surprise me at all if they kept
right on going around to San Diego.
For myself. I‘d rather not go so far
away from everybody I know. and if
we once got around there. it will be a
long time before I can go back home
again. _
My best regards to all and/don’t for.
get to tell the chief and Mr. Mc-
Gowan I was asking for them. ‘When
we get to Panama I‘ll drop some post
cards.
