WORD OF AVIATOR GRACE
Search of Tugs for Missing Bird
man FruitleSs

LONDON, Dec. 25.-Many North sea
traWlers are home for Christmas but
none of them brought news of Cecil
Grace, the young aviator who dsap-
peared Thursday while attempting a
return flight from Calais to Dover.
The mission of the tugs sent out to
scour the waters along the coast has
been equally fruitless and there is only
a slender hope that Grace is yet alive,
The only indication of his probable
fate is the report of FLUSHING plot
who arrived at Ostend on Sunday. to
the effect that he passed Wreckage OF
spars and wires resembling portions of
an aeroplane. Grace's relatives, how
ever, have not abandoned hope and
they are continuing their search with
undimnished effort.

FREEZING LEVELS
BRIGHTEN AVIATOR
Roland Garr0s' Engine Slows
Down When He Is Over Lake
PontChartrain

NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 25.-Soaring
above the clouds over Lake Pontchar
train, his goggles so frozen that he
could hardly see, and with ice gath
cred on his machine, Roland G. Garros,
this afternoon was finally forced to
glide to the lower levels on account of
q frozen carburetor. He broke the al
titude record for the International
aviation meet here by ascending 1925
feet
The Frenchman was seven miles out
over the lake His engine began to
slow down when he reached his great
est altitude and the propellers were
barely turning. A stop meant a plunge
into the lake. After reaching lower lev
els which was done with a rush, the
carburetor thaWed and the engine
started.
HAMILTON NARROWLY ESCAPES
The announcing bomb" was blown
by the wind on the big tent housing six
monoplanes, two bipanes and an un-
finished machine and the gasoline
supply. The tent caught fire but only
it was damaged.
Charles X Hamilton had a narrow
escape in his bplane in his first
ascent He had circled the course three
times when the vibration broke two
stay bolts on his engine, allowing the
latter to work loose from the frame.
Hamilton could get no power, and was
a few feet up when the accident oc-
CURED, but by clever maneuVering of
his planes he cleared the spectators,
narrowly missing the outside fence and
alighting on the course directly in
front of the grandstand.
During the afternoon Moisant made
an ascent of 5000 feet, and Rene Simon
made 1890 feet, Simon won the five
mile monoplane race in I minutes 80

Rising with all the calm, certain
majesty of the American eagle 1922
feet into the clouds over Dominguez
field in less than fifteen minutes, then
returning to the lower levels and enter
tanning 10000 persons with feats of
aerial navigation, Arch HoXsey car
red off the chief laurels for the second
time at the aviation meet yesterday
! afternoon.
Hoxsey was credited with having at
tanned an altitude of 6200 feet during
the opening day of the meet In real
ity he scared 92SS feet-12l1 feet less
than the worlds record. Yesterday he
did not reach this height, yet in many
respects his work was more remark
able than on the previous day.
Not only did HoXsey go over 1000
feet in the air. but on returning to the
field-tortured by the cold and damp
ness encountered in the upper atmo-
sphere-instead of landing he contin-
ued in the air and for nearly two hours
kept the spectators breathless watch
ing his wonderful work.
The speed of Curtiss, the speed of
Radley, the endurance of Latham, the
accuracy of Ely--eVen the daring of
his teammate Brookins-Were over
shadoWed by HoXseys altitude and en-
durance. They worked in comfort. He
came from the clouds-half frozen, and

AS HoXsey came circling through a
tiny mist hanging directly over the
stand the audience began to cheer,
Nearer and nearer he came, wheeling
and turning in the cold wind He had
been lost to sight and his appearance
above them startled the anxious
watchers. AS if by magic the people

SEEMED TO BE FALLING
Nearer and nearer he came-descend-

strained attention. When he was with

up as he stopped the downward pitch
and glided away in a huge circle. AS
he came sWooping along 200 feet from
the ground in front of the grandstand
every one expected him to land. His
mechanics rushed out to the field to
be near the craft.
Tipping suddenly, he swooped down.

that nothing but chance would save

Another instant and the downward
fight was checked. Up shot the ma

again shot into the sky. What was
happening? Why did he not land?
Then Hoxsey waved his hand. The
tension was over. He was all right.
He sailed around the field, repeating
his daring antics The "ocean wave"

CHILD BREAKS LEG
IN 3-STORY FALL
SiX-Year-0Id Girl PIunges from
Window of Hotel Hayward;
Netting Saves Life

Creeping to the windoWsill of room

might better see the green plants in
the courtyard below pretty Nan Mich

that reached her father and mother in
an adjoining room, the child plunged
headlong into space and fell for three
stories, striking a wire netting that
spanned a glass over the hotel parlors.
She suffered a fracture of the left leg
and possible internal injuries.
The frightened father and mother
reached the window through which
their daughter had fallen just in time
to hear the thud of her body on the
wire netting and hear her cry of pain.
1t was With difficulty that the mother
was restrained from following her
daughter through the window and sne
was dragged back fainting into the
room.
The childs screams of terror had
aroused the guests and employees in the
hotel and they climbed out on the roof
and carried her tenderly into the room
of a guest. 1t was at first thought her
back had been broken.
DR. Duffield was summoned and after
a hasty examination ordered the little
girl sent to the Good Samaritan hos
pital.

at the Good Samaritan hospital that
the child had spent a comfortable night
and day and would recover from her
injuries. Her presents were brought

the courtyard and roof below and had
lost her balance falling face forward
into space Her frightened cry said
Mrs. Nichol, "was the first intimation

POLICE GO IN PURSUIT

When the train reached Kansas City,
Mo-. at 1920 o'clock tonight the police
We're notified and a squad of officers
was sent to Northwestern Junction to
search for the bandit.
Among the first persons encountered
by the robber as he entered the Pull
man was Capt. II. l.. Newbold, stu
Leavenworth. When the passengers
were ordered to throw up their hands
Capt Newbold did not. comply fast
enough and raise his hands high
enough to suit the bandit, who fired,
inhicting a scalp wound. After eau
tioning Capt. Newbold and another
passenger to keep quiet the robber
turned as Conductor j. A. May en-
tered the car. He, too, was ordered to
throw up his hands, which he did.
May was robbed of his money and
watch.
Among other passengers in the Pull
man who were robbed was Miss Sadie
Berhof of Leavenworth. She received
more courteous treatment than the
other passengers. The bandit did not
point his revolver at her. but simply
taking hold of her purse exclaimed
impatiently: "Oh, give me that pocket
book"
He got the purse.
SHOOTS TO SCARE PASSENGEkS
Entering the day coach the robber
showed the revolver into the face of
the first passenger he met and then fired
through the window. This thoroughly
intimidated the passengers, who COM
piled with his demands. Several pas
sengers saved their money by dropping
it beside their seats or simply handing
the man small change they had.
To two of the passengers who only
handed him a small amount of money,
the man returned it, telling them that
if that was all they had they could
keep it, After the robber left the Pull
man Conductor May stepped to the
rear, intending to drop a telegram at
a small station which the train would
pass. Before he could do this the
bandit returned and ordered him in
side the car. Then leaving the Pull
man, he cut the air signal rope in two
places. This was a needless precau-
ton, however, as the train had no air
signal connections.
The man is described as of small
stature, we'll dressed, wearing a brown
suit and a black cap. over his face
he wore a black mask.
A. Fl. Morrison, Pullman car con-
ductor, lost $125 Other passengers
lost amounts rangin.; from $4 to $40,
together with their watches.

KANSAS CITY, Dec 25.-A bandit
celebrated Christmas tonight by going
through Missouri Pacific train No. 112,
due here at 1875 o'clock, and holding
up more than 100 passengers, from
whom he took only money and
watches.
The man boarded the train, which
was from ST. Joseph bound for ST
Louis, at LeaVenWorth Junction, in the
outskirts of LeavenWorth, and left it
at Northwestern junction in Kansas
City, KaS., after securing a large
amount of money and valuables and
shooting one man who attempted to
resist him.
AS the train pulled out of the Leav-
enwOrth junction station the robber
opened the rear door of the Pullman
and confronted the astonished crew
with revolver, after which he robbed
them. Cautioning the conductor and
porter to keep still he went through
the car, taking up a collection of
watches and wallets. Finishing with
the Pullman he continued through the
chair cars and the smoker until he had
robbed every passenger.
The train was in charge of Conductor
May, who with his brakeman and por-
ter, was robbed. The train left LeaV-
enworth Junction shortly before 10
o'clock and by the time the man had
finished his work it had reached Kan
sas City, Kas. Here he dropped from
the steps of the smoker and disap
