ARMENIAN SHOOTS THREE

Burlington, May S.-Walking into
the restaurant at Is West Allen street
at Wincosli tonight shortly before 10
O'Clock, Hagop Nerdinian, an Arme-
nian, drew 3S calibre revolver and
opened fire on Wilfred Cavord, the
tproprietor, and his young sister, Dora,
wounding them both. He then turned
the muzzle into the roof of his own
mouth and fird another shot. This
did not reach vital spot, whereupon
he shot himself in the neck.
Both of the men are at the Fanny
Allen hospital in a very serious condi-
tion and according to information re-
ceived tonight neither has a chance
of recovery.
The shooting is the outgrowth of a
love affair Nerdinian wished TO marry
Dora Savord but her brother objected
seriously and succeeded in breaking
OFF the affair. According to a story
also circulated tonight, the father of
the Armenian had informed the girl
that his son already had wife in Ar
menia.
At the time of the shooting there
was no one in the establishment, but
soldier who heard the first shot
fired, jumped through large pane of
glass into the restaurant in his haste
TO prevent any further shooting, but
was too late for he arrived just as
the Armenian was shooting himself
the second time.
The girl was shot through the right
arm between the shoulder blades and
the elbow, but she is in no danger.
Her brother is wounded in the breast.

Speech Was Made

London, May 2S.-Speaking at
luncheon given by the Daily Mail to-
day in his and Lieutenant Command
er Grieve's honor, Harry G. Hawker
deprecated the organization which had
won for the United States the honor
of the first crossing of the
Atlantic by heavier than air
machine. He declared that it was
not serious attempt with a ship
stationed at every twenty yards"
Hawker continued: IF you put
ship every fifty miles, it shows you
have no fight in your motor"
This was greeted with absolute
silence on the part of the men gath
cred at the luncheon, numbering be-
tween $50 and 300 nearly all of whom
were British. few minutes before
they had cheered heartily the state
ment that the American navy avia-
tors had been successful in reaching
Europe
Hawker disclosed that on Saturday
night, Immediately preceding his
start, he and Raynham had agreed
that unless the wind changed they
would start on Sunday for flight
by way of the Azores and Portugal.
The wind veered slightly Saturday
night. enough to give Hawker and
Grieve the chance TO start from their
airdome; but 1t was unfavorable for
Raynham.
He declared that although the
weather was unfavorable, the success
Of the Americans in reaching the
| Azores forced him TO start
"Any Englishman here" he added,
would have done the same thing I'M
/ der the same circumstances
Lieutenant Commander Grieye said
he was very nervous over his naviga-
ton abilities when he started, but
soon ascertained that the navigation
of an airplane was the same as of a
ship. There were no difficulties until
the clouds precluded the taking OF
sightings. He predicted that the
navigating of airplanes would be a
simple matter in the future.

WHY BRITAIN WON
THE LONE HOP"

Capt. Alcock and Lieut. Brown. who
were the first men in the world to
cross the Atlantic Ocean through the
air. in ''one hop" by a heavier-than-
air machine. or In any other way In
sixteen hours and twelve minutes
do not themselves. perhaps, fully
realize the tremendous Importance OF
their daring accomplishment. Not
only have they fulfilled the dream
OF mankind since the beginning of
time. but they have proved possible
and opened the way to the greater
progress and advancement of aero
nautics for the beneft OF the human
race and civilization.
1t is most interesting to note the
very positive first remark OF Capt.
Alcock to the effect that flying
boats are the right craft to cross
the ocean with and his success
proves that f1ying-boats OF the NC
type. IL equipped with reliable and
dependable magnetic ignition. which
Capt Alcock favored, can also cross
the Atlantic in lone hop"
Recent official tests made with the
Liberty engine specially fitted with
magnetic ignition. but otherwise the
same as used on the NC type of sea-
plane in their TRANSATLANTIC flight,
have shown a very decided increase
of power. efficiency and economy of
fuel. and it is possible some flying
tests with this form of ignition will
be made in the near future.
Capt. Alcock's Vickers-vimy airpiane
had magnetic ignition, and his Rolls
Royce engines, which are not superior
IN any other way to the Liberty en-
ginc. propelled his machine the en-
