 Longworth for hours had inhaled air artiicially richened with oxygen. A physician stood almost constantly by his bedside. Within the oxygen tent the labored breathing continued. but at last Longworth was not equal to the strain his illness forced upon him.
 Four nurses worked in relays to ease the stricken statesman.
 From the calm confidence of midA day Wednesday. the feeling changed rapidly during the evening to anxiety and toward despair. There was no-i tice of the serious turn in Long- wortfi's condition at p. m. last night. Subsequent information add-' ed to the gloomy prospect.
 Just before Longworth died. a great motor truck rumbled through the gates and to a rear door. Trunks and handbags and hat boxes were piled into it--Nick Longworth's bag gage being sent to the train for his. last long journey.

Eleven years ago he confirmed the belief of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle in spiritual ism by producing during seance what was purported to be the spirit of Sir Arthur's dead son.

Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont Rivers Are Ris= ing and May Exceed Last Year

Boston. April 9--CUP)-Thawing snows filled Northern New England today with the dread of devastating spring floods. Rivers rose in sever al sections as snowfall of from 8 to 19 inches in parts of Maine. New Hampshire and Vermont melted and rushed down noun tainsides.

Today. however. warm sun melted the snow and ice at a rapid rate. Warm weather was re- ported coming in from the west and was expected to last for at least two days.
