London Especially THE struggle
for the coveted aviation prize OF
$4,000 for a flight from London to
Manchester, donated by Lord North
cliffe, took dramatic and unexpect-
ed turn by reason of the French
man, Louis Paulhan, stealinga march
on his English rival, Graham White,
which placed him 20 miles ahead
in the race when darkness compelled
both to alight for the night.
White, however, tried to make up
for the start Paulhan had on him
and returned the trick. Starting

han was resting and waiting for day
light.
Paulhan's magnificent fight of
III miles without descent in two
hours and fifty minutes compares
favorably with his fight on April

distance of 11S miles, in three
and one-half hours. The following

Paulhan's machine only arrived in
London at o'clock in the morning,
and both he and White were busily
engaged all forenoon in fitting up
their aeroplanes and perfecting ar
rangemetns for the start The
weather was favorable, but owing
to the heavy work involved In pre-
pairing the machines, it was sup
posed that the start would be defer
red until Thursday.
The two aviators had met early
in the morning and discussed plans,
expressing the hope that they would
meet each other in Manchester.
During the course of the day con-
stantly increasing crowds gathered
at Park Royal and Hendon, the re-
spective headquarters of the two
men. in the hope of witnessing the
trial flights. Late In the afternoon

bors, returned to his hotel and went
to sleep. intending to start in the
morning. Meanwhile the spectators

the only alternative-Wood ended
the struggle by firing a bullet into
his temple, dying almost instantly.
During the fusillade Charles Smith,
chief of police of Carlstadt, n. j.,
was shot three times. The girl was
painfully. though not seriously hurt.
Wood, a member of a good fam
lily, had always borne an excellent
reputation, and his outbreak is only
explained on the theory that he be-
came suddenly deranged. During
the fight / 500 persons were attract

escaped injured by bullets from

Wood and Miss Kipp had an en-
gagement to join a boating party.
They were the first to arrive at the
boat club, and while waiting for the
others Wood suddenly attacked the
girl with a club. She managed to
escape, although painfully beaten,
and spread an alarm.
When Chief Smith and several off,
GERS reached the club the youth had
barrlcaded the place and armed him

fell at the first exchange of shots
with bullets in his arm, shoulder and
hip. Quickly posse was organized
and laid siege to the clubhouse, but
Wood held it at bay.
A force of deputies with a boat
finally managed to gain a point of
vantage in the rear of the club
which made Woods position unten-
able. But as they started a rush
a shot within the house told that
the battle was over.
Inside the boat club the officers
found a scene of wreckage. More
than so bullets had penetrated the
walls, every window had been shat

destruction by demolishing all the
wall, the canoes, boats and furnish
ings of the place with an axe.
