THIS MORNING
THE MOTORCYCLE
Tl
Member Of Cutter's Crew Met
Horrible Death Late Yes
terday Afternoon.
LOST CONTROL OF MACHINE
Dashed Into Curbing And Was
Thrown Against Tree With
Terrific Force.
Forrest I.ec, an oiler on the revenue
cutter Pamlico stationed at this port
and a son of Mr. and Mrs. B. H. Lee
of Bridgeton, just across Neuse river
from New Bern, was thrown from a
motorcycle and instantly killed on
East Front street sho.lv tafter 5 o'clock
yes'.erday afternoon.
The machine, a Dayton nine hoise
power motorcycle, was delivered to
Mr. Lee shortly after 4 o'clock yes
terday afternocn by Garrison Farrow
the local agent. Knowing that Mr.
Lee was a novice at operat:ng the mech
anism of a motorcycle, Mr. Farrow
cautioned him against speeding, nrg-
ing him to wait until he had become
more familiar with the machine before
going at a fast clip.
Whether intentionally or accidentally,
Mr. Farrow's instructions were not
lollowed out and in little more than
an hour the rider was dead.
The Accident.
A number of persons witnessed the
accident and according to their ac
count, Mr. Lee was literally 'flying"
over the smooth bithulithic paving on
East Front street. About one hundred
feet South of the intersection of Short
street, the rider apparently lost all
control of the machine and it swerved
against the curbing. Going at a speed
of fifty or sisxty mile an hour, the young
man was unable to put on his brakes
at once and the front of the motorcycle
struck a tree which was a short distance
further on. The rider was pitched over
the handle bars and struck this with
terrirhc force, breaking his skull at
the base of, the brain, his upper and
lower jaw, his right hip and his right
leg.
That death was instantaneous there
is not the least doubt. The body fell
to the ground after striking the tree
and those who saw the accident say
that there was not the slightest quiver.
The machine was thrown a distance
of at least fifteen feet and was so badly
wrecked that it will be necessary to
return it to the factory to be rebuilt.
Curious Spectators.
News of the tragedy quickly spread
and within less than ten minutes there
was probably two or three hundred
people on the scene. Among these
were many ladies and as usual a large
number of small boys, all anxious to
get a glimpse of the victim.
The coroner' was summoned ami
upon his arrival made an examination
of the body. He 'decided that an in
quest was unnecessary and turned the
body over to J. K. Willis to be pre
pared for burial. Arrangements for
the funeral were not completed last
night but will be announced later.
Forrest Lee is survived by his father
and mother, three sisters, Mrs. Dr.
McCullen of Bridgeton, Mrs. D. W.
Djwdy of Wilmington, and Mr. David
Miller of this city, and four brothers,
Carlos, Orville G., Whitehurst and
Grant, all of whom reside at Bridgeton.

Many have applied to Ambassador

Conditions are quite as bad in the

The State Department has under

Indications that the Amercan naval
