Atwood, the Boston aviator, arrived here in his aeroplane today, the first man in history to travel 1, 265 miles in a heavier than air ma chine. Atwood's safe landing on Governor s Island, after flying down from Nyack, N. Y., above the Hudson river, through a fog which made him only dimly vis ible to the million eyes that watched him, was a notable incident in the an nals of aeronautics. He not only broke the world's record, covering 1, 265 miles in an air-line, or perhapsi: 100 more miles with his detours, but he flew all the way in the same bi plane and with no important mishaps. Rivals Fast Trains. - I Atwood's flight is comparable only to that made by fast trains, for he covered the distance in an actual fly ing time of 28 hours and 31 minutes. Atwood's final lap in his long jour ney was a glide of twenty-five miles, from Nyack, N. Y., .where he had stopped overnight. He landed, dapper and smiling, hatless and hungry, ir I thie arms of a handlfu! of United States army officeers and men who hailed him as America's greatest aviator. "Well I'm glad its ended," said At wood as he hopped from his machine. "I guess the next long distance flight for me will be from. San Francisco or Los Angeles to the Atlantic coast." Atwood's coming was unexpected on Governor's Island, as it had been her aided that he would land at the1 Sheepshead Bay race track, where. thousands lined vantage points look ing skgward. Atwood expressed re gret at their disappointment. Entry Into Metropolis. Atwood left Nyack at 1.53 o'clock j' this afternoon, after freeing his ma-1 chine from a position where a startI would have been difficult and perilous. He followed the Hudson at a low alti tude the entire distance. At Yonkers, -as he leaned- forward to wave a silent reply to the cheer, the wind clipped t his cap . from his head. Thousands,l] clustered around Grant's tomb and( *along Riverside Drive shore, roared'I their enthusiasm when Atwood passed.l< - .As he approached the recreation pier at 50th street, where another crowd clustered, he turned his machine so1 that it swept in a complete circle from:I *'ne side of the river to the other andi then started down stream once more. [ There was a repetition of this outburst at the Battery as he passed and grace-i fully circled Governor's Island. An ] *hour after he landed, Atwood was on his way uptown. Cross-Continent Trip Next. "I expect to go to -Boston tomorrow," he said. "We will take my machine apart here and ship it to Boston. I don't intend to do any more flying around New York until I return from my trip across the continent. I prob ably will start from Los Angeles or1 .San Francisco about October 1 "'I feel as fine as a fiddle. Nearly all of the mechanics who started with .me from St. Louis have been laid up, 'but I never felt better. At nearly every place I stopped, some fellow asked me to carry a letter to his girl up in Bos ton. Of course, I agreed 'to do so. I am going to take them all to Boston with me and mail them there." May Quit the Game. Atwood tonight said that he may re tire permanently from aviation, and1 his projected coast to coast fitght may niever be made. "Tn is too risky," the aviator said. "Man after man has made new records in aviation of late, oiy to drop S-id denly to Oeath. I have been muchi more car-ful than many bird men, but I feel that if I stay in the clouds toa long I shall some day meet ny fate also. It i sinevitable sooner or later an aviator, no matter how careful he may be, Will end his flights w-;Lh a sudden plung to destruction.' His Reward. Of his reward for his flight, he said: "Many imagine that I am making a huge sum out of this trip. I am not. The only sum that is actually comin to me it the $10,000 already paid, of fered by Victor J. Evans, of Washing ton. Out of this I must pay a forfeit of $4,000 to my financial backers for failing to stop at all the twenty cities scheduled on the route." SON CONFESSES SLAYING FATHER Prisoner Secretly 3oved, Lynching| Attempt Being Feared.-Victims' Lives Insured. Booneville, Ind., Aug. 25.-After having been pressed by continuous questioning for almost thirty hours in jail, William Lee late today made a written statement, in which he said he had killed his father, Richard Lee,1 in self-defence, after the father had murdered his wife and younger son,1 Clarence.

"I was awakened by a noise, and went into the bed room, where my !ather and mother and brother slept. .s I opened the door I saw that my nother and my brother had been mur lered. My father sprang at me, axe in and, exciaiming, 'I will get you, o' grabbed the axe away from him and~ tit him over the head with it. I could ;mell kerosene, and I found oil had' ~lready been poured over the 'bed. ust because matches were handy, and did not know what else to do, I set ire to the bed clothing, and then gave he alarm'of, fire." After he had completed the state nent, he said: "I didn't know what else te do when set the place on fire. I didn't know ow the thing would look." No Faith in Statements.
