The night of September 6, 1918 at 11:55 p.m. Louis Gerston, senior Post Office Department pilot, wired a 33-word Western Union telegram to Captain Benjamin Lipsner informing him that Max Miller landed seven miles from here [Cleveland, Ohio] at dusk. Gertson says that Miller has a leaky radiator he will fix so he can continue his flight at noon. Miller is staying at the hotel in Cleveland now.
