Saturday being a* short business day

Eisrht hundred aliens dropped in on th-?

McCurdy's Wireless Test.

But he proved himself a real
Dyer.
And last— although he barely escaped
being thrust into the first paragraph of
this story; if his propellers had been
travelling a little faster he would have
landed there— flew by in. the gloaming
the protected countenance of Augustus
Post.
i The days aeronautical activities, be
ginning almost with those of the milk
men, were maintained at full rated
horsepower until 7. p. m.
And then several thousand excited and
talkative men and women were hushed
long enough "for the track lecturer to in
vite them all to visit the racetrack this
afternoon at 3 instead of 4 o'clock. It
would not be surprising if all of them
returned to-day and took their friends
along.
The Curtiss men qualified yesterday as
possessing the aerial temperament.
Evidently the only thing they do not
like is a breeze. There was no wind
yesterday, and th show was worth more
than the price of admission.
Ely's Sustained Fiight.
Promptly at 4 o'clock Ely began to
provide material for the announcer. He
flew two or three times without turn
ing
Finally he described a complete circle,
almost as convincingly as the announcer
straightway proceeded to do. This was
at 4:45 o clock.
Mars flew around the course, low.
making several short turns in front of
the grandstand. The lecture man said
the last performance was known as the
justly tamed Mars circle dip, and in
sisted it would be good policy for all to
buy programmes that told all about how
the dip appeared
Ely next made the prettiest flight that
the Curtiss men had produced during the
several days of their metropolitan en
gagement.
It was only ten minutes in passing.
but ten minutes is a. long time to stand
entranced when ten seconds has been
all the demand made on spectators for
c 6 veral days running.
At 5:10 o'clock Ely started toward
the favorite Hump of trees to the
northeast, and In generous circles made
Uaaae trees four different times at an
altitude that averaged at least five hun
dred feet.
From the centre of the field the wav
ing handkerchiefs of the six thousand
or eight thousand spectators showed an
animated district on his green and
brown map bass relief.
McCurdy went the way of Ely. after
Ely came down, bearing down a little
clo«Pr to the tree tops than his prede
oesasr but that was because his motor
was not of the going up type. In mas
ter, of the apparatus there is little
doubt that McCurdy flies high.
Says He Sent Wireless Mes*«ge.
From the front rudder or thereabout
hung a wireless wire, technically re
fer-ed to by the press agent as a coun
terpoise. It was rather feverishly re
cited that wireless messages were being
flashed by Mr. McCurdy to a man on
top of the grandstand, who did not know,
it was ««aid. the nature of the greetings.
It was hard to take the press agent
Furiously- It was explained that Mr.
McCurdy was an expert operator of the
telegraph instrument, and was busliy at
work right then.
Major Samuel Reber. chief signal of
ficer of the Department of the East,
itood out of hearing of the press agent
and reiterated that hn could not vouch
for anything of a wireless nature, be
cause the machine carried no operator.
It could not be definitely ascertained
that any wireless message was received,
but Mr. McCurdy was positive he cent
ass following:
"Another chapter in aerial achieve
ment Is recorded Is the sending of f he
wireless message from an aeroplane.'
At 6:15 o'clock Ely started for the
Manhattan Beach Hotel. He flew bo as
to swing around almost due west, and
was last seen to eink among th* house
tops, two miles away, at h.ii o'clock.

CHICAGO LABEL DOESN'T GO
Mention of John Powers as Once
Husband Causes Mix-Up on
Windy City Politics.
Mrs. Mayme MiKenna. of No. 2a22
Michigan avenue, Chicago, went before
the special deputy surveyor at the Cus
tom House yesterday to attempt to ex
plain why =he had not declared $1,600
worth of Paris gowns in her baggage on
the steamship Mauret^nia. The pres
ence, rirmly affixed, of a Chicago label
on one of the garments, seven in num
ber, and the statement on the part of
the woman tha.t her husband, who was
John Powers, used to make out th** dec
iaratiuns lor her. caused the customs
officials to get Chicago politics ail mixed
up. Some one whispered that Mrs. We- j
Kenna waa the widow of "Bathhtjuse j
John."
Not one of them knew whether "Bath

whether his name was Powers, and there
was more bewilderment when pome one
said that "Bathhouse John's" name va^

There was a distinguished looking man
with Mrs. McKenna. She said that her
name was McKenna. and not Kenna.
eliminating "Hinky Dink" from the pro
ceedings, at least for the time being,
and as the examination proceeded she
shed a few tears. Mrs. McKenna wore a
great black picture hat, and she h.id to
turn her head sidewise to get into the
examination room Her gown was also
black. She is tall and handsome, and
did all the talking, her companion stand
ing near with compressed lips.
The proceedings began with the swear-
Ing off of about $1,500 worth of jewelry,
bought in this country, she said, and
taken abroad. Her home had been in
Chicago all her life. She had been
abroad several times, and her husband.
John Powers, had always attended to
the declarations for her. And then she
said plaintively:
"I have had lots of trouble: had money
stolen from me. and I wanted to get
away and back to Chicago as soon as
possible."
Solicitor Andrews was sent for. Mr.
Smyth, the special deputy surveyor,
found thai there were declarations on
file signed by John Powers, correspond
ing with Mrs. McKenna's story. The
latter, under further examination, would
not deny that she had affixed the Chi
cago label to the gown. It was then
decided to put the case in the hands
of the United States Attorney, and Dep
uty Surveyor O'Connor called a tax I cab
and. with Mrs- McKenna and her com
panion, went to the Federal Building.
Mr. Wemple, Assistant United States
Attorney, went with the party to the
office of Commissioner Hitchcock, who
at first wanted $5,000 ball. "When this
was not forthcoming it was agTeed to
postpone the case for a further hearing
on Tuesday, and Mrs. McKenna and her
companion left the building.
Gowns Appraised at $1,600.
The woman was a passenger on the
Mauritania on Thursday night, and one
of the inspectors would not believe, her
statement that the seven handsome
gowns were made in Chicago, despite
the on* label in evidence. He said that
the garments were all at. least / six

he admitted, but why let the words of a

left the tent and soon forgot about the
gypsy and her prophecy.
The prophecy came true on Friday,

Long Island, on business. A comely
gypsy girl, one of a party which had ar
rived in wagons, asked him to have his
fortune told. He agreed.
"Let mo have a piece of paper money."
said the girl in shattered English. Sulli
van handed her a roll containing $50.
The girl blew on the roll and then took
a hitch in her girdle. Ten minutes later
Sullivan missed a "ten spot. and re
ported the loss to "A!" Davis, the inn
keeper. The two jumped into "Mr. Sulli

caravan well up the road
"Up with that ten spot!" shouted Davis
at. the gypsy girl. While her companions
watched her with warning glances the
girl showed with a lift of her waist that
she had no money under it. But when
Davis threatened to take her to the
Hiverhead jail she produced the bill.

Large and vigorous fleas emerge from

Nothing like thia epidemic ha? eves
