Mr. Astor has already taken three trips in his unique craft and has expressed himself as highly pleased with his latest sporting venture. His initiation into the flying game was engineered by Clifford L. Web-, ster, chief piiot of tl.e B?rge?! com? pany, who took gis wealthy pupil aloft over the svaters of Marblehead Harbor to a height of between two and thres , thousand feet. Contrary to reports.

There it : will be reassembled under the direc? tion of ihr- Burgess experts. Webster will then go to Rhmebeck, 1 and the course of instruction will take place on the Hudson, opposite the A?ior home. It l* likely that ten or twelve lessons will be sufficient, as the Burgess machine is inherently stable and easy to handle. The '.- ng boi t, which is the first of its type to be built under tiie Ounne patents, is luxui | Dinted, and has every known improvement for the convenu nee of pilot and passengers. It has a capacity for three persona and is elaborately upholstered. The cockpit is so arranged that the occupants ?mi step to the deck through ingeniously contrived double ?loirs. With the aid of Howard Huntington, secretary of t'.ie Aero (lull of America, Mr. Astor worked out a set of plans for the most pretentious hangar ever j built.

TWO NEW HAVEN DIRECTORS GET IMMUNITY BATH J. 0. Elton and W. Skinner Absolved from Charge in Anti-Trust Case. RELIEF DENIED TO EDWARD D. ROBBINS Judge Hunt's Decision Surprises Federal Prosecutor - Ap? peal May Be Taken. James S. Flton, of Waterburv. Conn., and William Skinner, of Hflyoke, I Mass., have been granted immunity from prosecution under the indictm?nt, charging them, as directors of the New York, New Haven & Hartford Rail? road, with having violated the Sherman Anti-Trust law. In an opinion filed late yesterday afternoon in the crimi? nal branch of the Federal Court. Judge William H. Hunt overrules demurrers interposed by Frank If, Swacker, As? sistant I'nited States attorney Gen ral, in the case of f,iese two eiirectors. In an accompanying opinion, how? ever, Judge Hunt sustained the gov? ernment demurrer, put in to the plea of immunity mnd?* by F.dward I), bob? bins, a director and formerly general eounael to the New Haven. Judg?' Hunt rules that Flton and Skinner obtained immunity by being witnesses at the hearing held by the Int?ntate Commerce Commission as 'o prices, ratos and other ntTair? of the New Haven company and other New Kngland corporation-'. In the case of Robbins's plea it ?a held that circum Stances do not show that he ever meant to claim Constitutional privileges. Billard May ('lead in Bar. In vn-w of immunity baths for Flton and Skinner, it is expected that John I.. Billar?! will enter a plea in bar to the superseding indictment. He was I aleo a witness at the Interstate Com? merce Commission's hearing, Bnd for that r*'ason claimed immunity from prosecution under the original Sher? man law indictment. This plea was de? nied by Judge William T. (?rubb in a deeiaion handed down Jauary 4, which also uispnsed of the pleas put in by Flton and Skinner. William Rockefeller it another New Haven director under indictment. In view of his success in avoiding being a witness before the Interstate Com? merce Commission, however, he will ?not be eligible for immunity under the new ruling. The government's prosecutors, su prised by Judge Hunt's ??ecitlon, may appeal. | Special interest it attached to Jud?e Hunt's finding in the case of Robbin?, 1 who was general counsel for the Now H.r.en all the time that the? road, under the leadership of Charles S. Mellen, ' was obtaining control of New Kngland transportation on land and water. He represented the railroa' in the Con? necticut Legislature. "The circumstances do not show that he ever meant to claim constitutional privilege," sayS Judge Hunt. "At the Interstate Commerce Commission in? vestigation he was called as a witness by the New Haven company, and as such was cross-examined. When called i by the grand jury to produce the com? pany's papers he wanted to testify, but was not allowed to do so, and later on, when before the grand jury, he tes? tified with asserting his constitutional privilege." Ipholds (?rubb on Immunity. In these word? Judge Hunt substanti? ates the rule of Judge I.rubb in the January decision that immunity flows j only to witnesses who may refuse to testify without it being assured. While Flton and Skinner did not . claim Constitutional privilege when , called, they had reason to believe that they would get immunity, the Hunt decision lays. Some sort of under? standing was reached between John W. H. Ciim, Presidcrtt Mellen'? counsel, and Solicitor Folk. Crim, while repre ! tenting Mellon befo.e the Interstate i Commerce Commission, also appeared ' in the interest of the directors. After discussing at some length the ? option or privilege of a witness under ; the Fifth Amendment to the Constitu? tion. Judge Hunt says: "The immunity statute was passed ?with regard for the construction put , upon th? Fifth Amendment and in the I knowledge that the assertion of the ; privilege before examination is in it? self important, and that, unless the privilege is asserted the witness will he given no immunity, and should he i testify only after the denial of the ; privilege, then only can he tay that , his evidence is compulsorily furnished, i and that, therefore, he is entitled to immunity. Thus option may rest with the government and may not be exer? cised until after the witness has as? serted privilege." GIRL TWICE TRIES TO DIE Crowd on '"L" Thwarts Leaps Before Trains.
