ANDREW D. WHITE
HAS CLOSE CALL
EX-AMBASSAD0R MEETS WITH
STRANGE ACCIDENT
Broken Window in Pullman Car Just
Misses Cutting of His Head
and Wounds Him
Severely
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press
NEW YORK, April 3.-Andrew D..
White, former president of Cornell uni
versity and ex-ambasador to Germany,
has had a narrow escape from death
while returning to this city from New
Haven. He was severely cut by glass
from a broken window and only es-
capped by the narrowest margin from
losing the top of his head. The silk
hat which he wore was cut across as
if by a knife scarcely more than one
eighth of an inch from the top of his
head
Mr.. White had a seat in a Pullman,
two cars back from the engine Near
him sat a woman and a child. The
train was running at a high rate of
speed near Rye when it passed a freight
train going in the opposite direction.
Suddenly there was a crash and
shower of glass and bits of wood fell
on Mr.. White, who had been reading
His hands and arms were severely cut,
while a piece of plate glass had cut
his silk hat almost in two.
The former diplomat was dazed by
the suddenness of the crash, and is
still suffering from the shock. The
woman passenger sitting near by was
slightly hurt, and when the train
reached New York she was sent home
in a cab.
Examination of the car showed that
something had hit the double window
opposite where Mr.. White was seat
ed. Glass from that side apparently
had been hurled across the car with
such force that the window beside the
former diplomat was demolished. The
train was stopped, but no cause for
the accident could be found, nor was
there evidence that anything had been
thrown at the train. Trainmen reached
the conclusion that car door on the
passing freight caused the accident.

MEXICAN GALLANT is
STABBED IN THE BACK
Dusky Rivals Resent His Conduct in
Escorting Senoritas to Their
PaternaI Mansion

Playing the gallant and accompany
ing a couple of senoritas to their home
proved disastrous to Luciano Grajada
last night. Grajada who is a Mexican
laborer had been to a dance with a pair
of his countrywomen, and was escort
ing them to the paternal mansion, on
Castelar, street, about 12 o'clock, when
a pair of dusky Beau Brummels, who
resented his intrusion into what they
fancied as their own domain, stopped
him and stabbed him in the back.
The wound, although ugly looking
and painful, was in no wise fatal, and
Grajada betook himself to the police
station, where the receiving hospital
doctor dressed the cut and made him
easy for the night. DIR. Freedman
found it necessary to take half a dozen
stitches in the wound before it could
be closed.
Grajada knows his assailants by
sight and was able to give the police a
good description of them. A John Doe
warrant will be issued this morning
and the authorities anticipate no diff
ficulty in making an arrest.

A Successful Aeronaut

Knabenshue's recent ascensions in
the Midget have been wonderful dem
onstrations in aeronautic science, aid
much valuable data has been gathered.
There are few men who would willing
ly embark in the air and sail at such
attitudes as to be out of sight of the
earth in a balloon which appears to be
a mere toy. But because such a bal
loon was the best for the purpose Kna-
benshue used it, and said nothing of
the great danger, if he thought of it.
He has made a study of aeronautics
all his life, despite many obstacles,
and had reached the point last summer
when he was engaged to handle the
Arrow that he was capable of handling
the sky yacht perfectly. He knows
how to handle a balloon or airship in
the air, and believes that if they 1re
properly handled the danger from
ordinary accidents is greatly reduced,
so does not let what might happen
worry him, but goes ahead and coolly
sees that it does not happen.

A Difficult Feat

Knabenshue will be forced to drive
his ship under the huge structure at
a high rate of speed and hold her
steady at the same time, for other
wise it would rise and strike the bridge
with disastrous and perhaps fatal re-
suits.
Since Knabenshue made his first trip
in Los Angeles with the Arrow the
people have felt personal interest in
the young aeronaut, an interest which
his cool daring and ever-present mod
esty served to increase.
His friends will be glad to know,
however, that he intends to visit Los
Angeles again next winter, and he
hints that he may build here at that
time an airship after his own ideas,
for which he is now gathering data,
and which he thinks will be a world
beater. There should be no one better
able to judge of the merits of an air.

KNABENSHUE TO

WILL LOOP BROOKLYN BRIDGE

Intrepid Sky Chauffeur Intends to
start for New York Today-The
Undertaking Most Difficult
Tried by Aeronauts

Roy Knabenshue, the famed sky
chauffeur, who startled the world by
the manner in which he handled the
airship California Arrow, not only at
the fair I'm ST. Louis, but later in Los
Angeles, intends to leave for New York
today.
The young navigator of the air goes
to the metropolis to attempt feat
that for daring has never been equaled
in the history of aeronautics. 1t is
this: To twice loop the Brooklyn
bridge, going under and then back over
and then repeat.
Few realize the hazards taken by
the aeronaut in attempting such a
feat. The Arrow flies best at an alti-
tude of about 1000 feet She must be
brought down almost on the level of
the water and driven under the bridge
at full speed. The span is but $50
feet high, and while this is enormous
for all ordinary purposes, it is ex-
tremely low as a passage for air.
