Photo by American Press Association.
Boston, Jan. 2. Instead of making a
flight from the Point of Pines to Port
land, Me., Harry X. Atwood, the avia
tor, dropped Into the chilly waters of
Lynn harbor and had a narrow escape
from drowning. He was rescued by
the crew of a Ashing launch.
Atwood got up only a few feet when
his motor suddenly stopped, and the
fresh wind whirled the aeroplane tall
to and started to carry It out over the
bay. Atwood made frantic efforts to
get his engine working again, and final
ly It popped a few times. The ma
chine struck the water about 300 yards
offshore, and the aviator almost im
mediately discovered that one of the
pontoons was leaking and the machine
was sinking.
Atwood began undressing and throw
ing his clothes Into the sea and was
on the point of diving free from the
machine and trying to swim through
the freezing waves when two Italian
fishermen came alongside In their pow
er boat.
TELL OF GAEKWAR'S ACTION.
Indian Prince Actually Snubbed King
at Delhi.
London, Jan. 2. More light was shed
on the conduct of the gaekwar of Bn
roda at the recent durbar at Delhi
when the king-emperor took formal
possession of his Indian empire. As
recent dispatches have told, the In
dian ruler, who ranks as one of the
foremost of Indian chiefs, actually
snubbed the king and queen when it
came time for his recognition of the
nilershlp. The gaekwar Is noted for
his unconventional doings; also bo fig
ured a week or so ago In a divorce
suit
The latest advices received state that
the Indian ruler was dressed In plain
white, more unceremonious than u but
ler. Instead of bowing deeply three
times in a backward movement from
the throne, the gaekwar gave a curt
nod to their majesties and turned his
back to them.
A previous dispatch state"d that the
Indian ruler was made to apologize for
bis conduct.

er, who lives here. The Levis family
comes from Detroit. He met Xina
Lawrence, who Is one of the leaders
among the young people here last sum
mer. Barrett fell In love with the girl,
and they started a correspondence.
After a few months, however, her let
(crs became less frequent, and, al
Chough Barrett kept up his end, the
answers from the girl dually ceased.
Then Barrett came on from Detroit,
and at a dance hero a few nights ngo
be saw Miss Lawrence again. lie had
taken another girl to the dance, but at
the sight of Miss Lawrence he forgot
all about bis partner.
He monopolized her dance card and
when be went back to his grandmoth
er's home did nothing but talk about
the girl. Barrett was to have gone
Inline on Xew Year's eve, but he plead
ed with bis grandmother for another
day at Waverly, nnd she arranged It
for him.
Xina Lawrence and a girl friend
started to a meeting at the Presbyte
rian church, but when they reached
the door Miss Lawrence told her friend
that her head ached and suggested a
walk.
As they turned they met Levis. He
was very nervous and pale and asked ,
Miss Lawrence if she would walk with i
him alone for a minute. She said aft- !
erward that they walked around the
block, nnd when they came In the
shadows of the church again be turned
nnd nsked her If she cared anything
for him. She told him that she did not
and never could. Then, according to
the girl, the boy clapped a hand to his
pocket and said. "I'm going to kill
you."
The girl said that the boy had fired
point blank at her four times. Sht
had dropped nt the first shot, and the
other bullets had gone over her. The
first shot bad struck her in the cheek
and lodged somewhere In the back of
the throat. Barrett shot himself
through the head. He was taken to
his grandmother's home and there died.
Surgeons worked over the girl, but
were unable to locate the bullet. They
think that she may recover. At no
time hns she manifested anything but
curiosity nbout the motives that led
Levis to shoot her, and several times
she has told the doctors that she felt
sorry for the boy.
Levis father and mother came from
Detroit to take away the body of their
boy, who was an only son.
