CRASH IN LAKE
AMERICAN DISASTER
FOUR FLtERS KILLED
ANNUAL AMATEUR EVENT By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright (Received Juno 28, 6.35 p.m.) NEW YORK, Juno 27 Disaster to-day overtook participants in a goodwill flight New York to Montreal, an annual event for amateur fliers. One of 30 aeroplanes crashed at Lake Champlain, on the border of the States of New York and Vermont. Four of the occupants were killed. Two other machines were forced down and damaged, but none of the occupants was injured. Only four aeroplanes finished the flight in schedule time. The others later were all reported safo. The machine which was lost in the lake was a cabin monoplane piloted by Mr. Frank Saglimbene, of New York, who was killed with his threo companions. In haste to start, the four fliers refused to await detailed weather reports. This, apparently, was the cause of their crash.
