Epes, of New port News, a student flyer, were in stantly killed at 12:30 o'clock this af ternoon when an airplane in which .hey were flying collapsed at an alti- lude of about 3,500 feet and fell like a Dlummet to the earth. The machine vas smashed to splinters and the bodies of the victims were horribly mutilated, beyond recognition. The fall was witnessed iby hunderds of persons in various sections of the ?ity and caused a near-,panic among he children at one of the public chools who were watching the flers .t the noon recess. Carlstrom was giving Epes his ini ial lesson. They left the ground and ipidly rose to about 3,500 feet. They vere flying along smoothly when .hose watching the machine saw it uddenly crumple and plunge down. s the crippled machine fell observers saw a portion of it foil. Afterward t proved to be the right wing which evidently gave way and caused the remainder of the machine to collapse. Carlstrom had reached the zenith of his fame when he flew from Chicago to New .York for the New York Times several months ago. Previous to that time he flew from Newport News to New York without a sto,?, setting a record for cross country flying. He lso held the American record for al titude with pilot and one passenger, having ascended to a heighth of 16, 300 feet here a year ago. Early in his flying days Carlstrom flew from Ibronto to Buffalo. He won numer ous laurels in the aviation world and was awarded the medal toy the Aerial rlub o America. A few weeks ago Carlstrom received an appointment as iirst lieutenant in the aviation reserve jjorps of the United ' States army. (By Associated Press.) Peking, May 9.

State Agricultural Department is Ex pecting a Boom of Hog Raising in the State. Raleigh, May 8. Agricultural and economic authorities jn the State are looking this year for a substantia sort of a boom in th nog-raising in dustry of the State. A packing house is under construction at Wilmington one is practically assured for Raleigh and there is a movement on at Char lotte looking to the establishment of one in that city. Already, however. there are packing houses at Green ville, S. C, and Richmond, Va., so that, as a matter of fact, every far mer in the State is within shipping distance of a standard market for his hogs. Hogs are at present selling on the Chicago market at $15 to $16 per hundred and with 3 per cent fewer brood sows in the country than last year there is little or no likelihood of the price dropping much for a year or more. The price in the South is doubly assured because this sec tion, which normally imports millions of dollars worth of pork from the West, must depend upon its own sup plies this year as the Western meats will ibe required by the government for the maintenance of its armies and the armies of the Allies. With this rare opportunity within their grasp every farmer in the State who has breeding stock is urged to use it, securing the largest num ber of pigs possible and raising feed with which to push them properly. Pastures of soy beans, peas, corn and velvet 'beans and other crops are rec ommended for feeding hogs, the old method of feeding in pens having been found to be uneconomic. In the fall after the crops of beans, peas, etc., have been exhausted crops of rape, rye, clover, oats and similar crops should (be ready.

Over Sunday News From the Europ ean Front Indicates That the Allies Still Push the Enemey Back America Entering a Week of Great Activity. Little occurs over Sunday in war arena. Europe shotws little chance in the period of 48 hours marking our issue. Fighting continues on the French front. The German resistance is still desperate and at a great, loss of men. According to the reports, the Germans are throwing in reserves at a great rate and suffering desper ate in loss of life. This too in the face of the fact that they are appar ently unable to stem the tide of the allied advance. Late dispatches indicate a great un rest among the workers of Hungary and unless some concessions are made and some franchise reforms be grant ed there is a great strike threatened. In Russia it is said the trouble which was the rule last week is in hand and the situation is clearer today than for some days past. On the road from Soissons to Laon the French claim a victory. In the United States the week, promises to be a very active one. Matters of great importance will be taken up at Washington and the ma chinery for raising the army and mobilizing the nation for war will be set in motion to travel faster and more effective, .than vffiiSC&ref Conferees will report out the selec tive, conscription army bill. ' I -,v The senate agricultural committee will take up the Lever food control bill introduced in the house last week. -'. The house ways and means com mittee will report out the,, revenue bill ,raising $1,600,000,000' by taxa tion. The senate finance committee will begin consideration of this taxation bill. The new shipping bill, empowering President Wilson to take over ship yards and materials for constructing vessels will be introduced. Perhaps the most important of these measures is the food control bill upon which the senate agricultural committee will attempt to reach some definite conclusion. It is intended to amend the 'bill in some details, but to: be .ready for prompt action on it. There is every indication the senate committee will not report out a bill until .the house has acted on the Lever measure. s "This bill is the most powerful measure ever introduced in v Con gress," said Senator Kenyon, a mem ber of the committee. "In importance it ranks second only to the declara tion of independence." ' . The committee will begin work on the Lever bill tomorrow, and will have many -experts before it to testify as to proper machinery for putting the measure into effett.
