Harry Atwood Drops Into the
Water Off Lynn
WITH HIS HyDR0-AER0PL ANE
The Aviator Has an Icy Bath-The Bird
Il Man Had Planned to Fly One
Hundred Miles to
Portland.

Lynn, Mass, Jan. 2.-Skimming across
the surface of Lynn harbor in his hydro
aeroplane at the start of his proposed
fight from the Point of Pines to Port
land, Me-, yesterday, Harry n. Atwood
was plunged into the icy water when his
machine suddenly collapsed.
A moment later, the aviator climbed
back upon the aeroplane and sat on
upper plane. calmly awaiting the arrival
of friends in boats.
As the boats drew alongside the partly
submerged aeroplane, the machine sank
in ten feet of water, and Atwood was
lifted into the nearest boat,
1t had been Atwood's plan to start on
the trip of approximately 100 miles to
Portland at about 10 o'clock. Favore
by almost ideal weather, he trundled his
machine into the open, started the en-
CINE and flew to the Point of Pines.
Then the wheels of the air craft were
detached, and the pontoons We're fixed
in their place.
While this was being done, a crowd
had gathered to watch the start. When
all the arrangements had been complet
ed, the engine was started and the by
dro-aeroplane was launched on the sur
face of the harbor.
After the customary two or three hum
dred yards had been covered, Atwood at
tempted to leave the surface but as he
turned into the wind little water
struck the magnetic and the engine
stopped Immediately. Then the aviator,
in an attempt to maintain his equilib-
rum, tried to head the machine into the
wind As he did so, the rudder OF the
hydro aeroplane struck water and
the machine collapsed 4 wood climbed
on top of the aeroplane and waved his
hat to his friends on the shore. In a
few moments several boats were headed
in his direction. As the nearest one APP
preached, the aeroplane sank from view
and Atwood was pulled on board, suffer
ing from his ducking in the icy water,
but otherwise uninjured.
The ydro-aeroplane sank in about
10 feet of water 1t was badly damaged,
in the opinion of the aviator. Attempts
to raise the machine we're made yester-
day afternoon.
The accident made it necessary for
Atwood to postpone for time his at
tempt to fly to Portland Several hun,
bred thousand people were disappointed
BY the accident. 1t had been the avn
ator's intention to skirt the coast from
this point to Portland and all along the
way great crowds had gathered to SEE
the aviator pass.
After securing change of clothing,
Atwood Immediately started prepara-
lions to make the flight yesterday after
noon if possible. He telephoned to Port
land to see if the crowd was still waiting
for him, and then tried to make arrange.
ments to secure another aeroplane. At
wood said that he was feeling no bad
effects from his unexpected bath.
Atwood's efforts to secure a machine
from local aeroplane companies were un
successful and he found it necessary TO
give up his plans for flying to Portland
yesterday.

Fredericks Calls on Himto Purge

UNIONS MUST BE CLEARED
They Cannot Garry Their Present Bur
den-He Asks the Federation Leader
TO Unseal McNamaras'
Lips.

Los Angeles. Cal. Jan. 2.-District At
torney John ID. Fredericks, who IN mar
shallinp the evidence in the Mcnamara
case acquired probably more intimate
knowledge OF the operations OF dyna-
miters than is possessed by any other
man in the United States, issued d.
rect challenge just before the indict-
ments were returned against California
men by the federal grand jury, to Sam
uel Gompers, president of the American
Federation OF Labor, to unseal the lips
of ]. ]. Mcnamara.
"Tf Gompers does not know OF the
existence of this cancer in labor union
ism" said Fredericks, "let him appeal
To !. ]. Mcnamara. in the way he best
knows how. to unseal his lips and dis
close the disease, in order that 1t may
be rooted out for all time.
"a mere superficial public request from
Gompers to Mcnamara in San Quentin
prison means nothing. Gompers can
open this mans lips. The result will
determine whether the attempt was
made in good faith
Mr.. Fredericks declared the seal of
the dynamiters is hanging suspended
over union labor, and the movement
will be indelibly stamped with it unless
union men seize the opportunity now
presented to them to repudiate the dyna-
miters and their crimes in such manner
that the world will be convinced of their
good faith.
He asserts with absolute conviction
that a considerable additional number
of leaders of organized labor are GER
tain TO be indicted, with irrefutable evil
dence as the result of the inquiry now
being conducted by the federal govern
ment. He appeals to organized labor,
as a man who believes in such organiza-
ton. that no attempt at coneealment
be made. and that the leaders who have
nut this stigma on labor unionism be
repudiated in manner that will restore
public confidence.

THE TREASURY DROPS BEHIND
Deficit at End of Year S22,ooo,o 600; Large
Increase Over Last Year.

The year 1911 bequeathed the federal
government materially increased de-
felt as compared with the close of 1910.
The general fund representing the avail
able resources of the treasury showed
a large growth, on the other hand. due
to the sale of s50000,000 in Panama
canal bonds during the yesr. The dis
bursements exceeded the receipts during
the last six months, exclusive OF the
Panama canal financial operations, by
about S22, 100000. while during the cor
responding period last year the deficit
was only $3,s70,000. The principal
causes of the increased deficit were
falling oil Of probably Sl0,000D00 in
customs receipts and an increase OF about
81 100000 in the cost of the navy during
the last half year. as compared with
the same period in 1910. approximately
1852 100000 were received from the Gus
toms during the last six months. willie
at the close of December last year this
source of revenue had yielded sl62O0O,-
900. The navy has cost about $1,000
600 up to date this year.
The disbursements during the first half
of the last fiscal year were S63,000,00O.
The month Of December made partieu-
larry poor showing, its deficit being 81
100000. while the deficit for November
was only 100000. DEFENDERS receipts
amounted to approximately S52,Oo0.000
and disbursements S54,000.000. The gen
eral fund amounts to approximately
Sl72 900 900, including about S70,000,0O0
actually in the treasury. A year ago the
general fund was sa,oo000o and the
working balance S37 100000.
The amount of gold in possession Of
the United States, the greatest gold
holding nation in the world, was APP
proximately s1ls2 100000 in coin and
bullion, distributed among the reserve.

The Panama canal has cost up to date
about S2G0,000,000 OF this Sl20,000,000
has been paid out of the treasurys gen
eral fund.- the remainder representing
the proceeds from the sale of bonds.
The total cost of the waterway is esti-
mated at 1878 100000. During the six
months lust closed $ls000000 was spent

LIABILITY BILL NEARLY READY
Commissions Report Will Be Presented
to Congress Late This Month.

Some time during the month of jan
uary, but probably not until toward
the close, the employers liability com
mission will present IFS final report to
the two houses of Congress. The re-
port will embody bill providing grad
uated scale of compensation through
government instrumentalities for IN
mries to employees of railroads engaged
in interstate commerce whether due to
negligence or not. The bill was drawn
bv Senator Sutherland, chairman of the
commission. and he will introduce 1t
in the Senate Representative Brant-
lev of Georgia, member of the com
mission. viii present both the bill and
the report in the House. The prepare
tion of the bill is the result of prae-
tically constant labor of the commits
sion since its organization nearly year
ago. Public work was begun during the
recent extra session of Congress by hear
ing those competent to speak on the
constitutional scope of the measure, and
since then there have been three differ
Cnt series of hearings, the purpose of
which was to obtain the opinions of ex-
pert and interested persons on the pro-
posed legislation at all the various
stages of progress. The result is a
measure which appears to meet the APP
proval of all concerned. During the last
of the series Of meetings, which closed
with the end of the past week, the rep
resentatives of the labor organizations
involved generally expressed hearty in
dorsement of the measure, while the at
torneys of the railroads indicated at
least satisfaction with its terms. SEN
ator Sutherland estimates that the pro-
rosed law will entail an expense of
about 100000 on the government. The
aggregate cost to the railroads of the
compensation proposed is placed at about
sis. 600 900. This is only S3,000,O00 in
excess of the present outlay.
