Atwood Not Discouraged
By Failure of Flight.
viii Tow The BipIane Back to
Boston by Automobile.
Hopes to Make Another Attempt,
Later, to Reach Portland.

Kennebunkport, Me-, May Harry
" Atwood, the aviator landed here
about go. this morning. his mag
neto having given out when he was
about 1000 feet in the air.
Mr. Atwood left the aviation field
at saugus. Mass. at SOS, yesterday
afternoon, on pleasure trip. Be
fore he. started he stated that he
might fly as far as Portland. Yester-
day he flew as far as Wells, where he
landed at 6.35. on a farm owned by
Fred Allen having decided TO stop
rather than travel over strange
country ia the gathering darkness.
on the trip from Saugus to Wells he
averaged about AZ miles an hour and
flew at various heights. all the way
from 1900 feet when he passed New
buryport to some 300 or 400 feet when
passing over the Maine woods These
wods were the principal thing which
deferred him from continuing the trip
to Portland, last night.
This morning. Mr.. Atwood was up
bright and early. and thought that he
would surprise the people OF Portland
by arriving there an hour earlier than
he was expected. He left Wells at 8
O'Clock, instead of at T, as he had am
nounced, last evening. He rose east
ly and for nearly 20 minutes had
good trip. Then his engine began to
go bad and finally his magnetic stop
ped, forcing him to make a descent.
Fortunately he was able to select a
good landing place and at Ga landed at
the Kennebnnkport town farm The only
fault that Mr. Atwood found with the
landing place was that he came down in
about foot Of water in the middle of
large mudpuddle The place whore he
landed is about two miles from Kenne-
bunkport village in the direction Of Bid
deford
Mr.. Atwood at once began to prepare
his machine to return to Boston He will
fold its wings and tow the machine back
by automobile. He expected that it
would take him some time To get ready
to start The news of his arrival in this
little town spread like wildiire and every
body who possibly could walked or rode
out to the town farm to see the biplane.
which is the first to ever ben seen here.
The biplane in which Mr.. Atwood made
his trip is a machine of his own design,
built at the Burgess factory and equip
ped with ao-horsepower Wright motor.
The machine weighs about l2oa pounds
Beforc-leaving Tor Boston Mr.. Atwood
stated that he hoped to make another at
tempt TO reach Portland at some time
when the flying conditions are favorable.

Trying to Avert
Strike of Miners.

New York, May 2.-The objection Of
the Mine Workers committee to the
agreement which had been approved
by President White of the Mine Work
ers was based upon the tenure of the
contract period-which was for four
years; the Establishment of the sliding
scale and the failure 10 recognize the
union to the extent that the miners
demanded.
From William Green, representing
President White of the Wine Workers,
who is i'll at his home, and Thomas
Kennedy, president of District No :,
it was learned that a majority of the
members of the general committee ia
vored a twe-yeaTs contract With the
mine operators and they stated this
was the principal objection to the ten
tative agreement considered in the
joint conference, this afternoon. At 6
o'clock tonight. Mr. Green acting for
the executive board, OF The United
Mine Workers, after comforting with
the district presidents issued this
statement:
The tentative preparation reported
by the subcommittee is not satisfac-
tory to the representatives of the an
thracite mine workers. While there are
some distinguished features in the
proposition which are an Improvement
over the contract heretofore prevail
ing, nevertheless, the length of the
contract term, which is for four years
tile abolition of the sliding scale with
out providing for its equivalent being
added to the proposed fiat advance
and the failure to recognize the or

are so Objectionable as to overshadow
