Italian Aviator Ready to Hop From N. Y. to Persia

Pinedo Seeks Long Distance Record in Air Flight of 6.200 Miles. I.y 7 imm S/k< ini NEW YORK. May 12—Genpral Francesco de F.nedo, Italian aviator who has flown the Atlantic ocean and in 1927 made an around-the-world flight prepared today at Floyd Bennett field to take off Saturday on a solo flight which he hopes will land him in Bu>hire. Persia. 6.200 miles away, for a long distance record. . Captain H. V. D Annunzio, son of the Italian po'-t, has been assisting the aviator in preparing for the flight while the latter has been here several months incognito. A special plane has been constructed at the Bellanca plant at New'castle, Del., equipped w'ith the most modern safety devices and scientific instruments. He expects to cross the Atlantic from the Newfoundland coast to England. Among the novel bits of equipment is a device to prevent the pilot from falling asleep from fatigue. It consists of a most sensitive altimeter w'ith electrical and other attachments which squirts a stream of ice cold water into the pilot's face if the plane flies at a dangerously low altitude. The plane has a 525-horse power

DEATH CLAIMS SLEUTH, CAPTOR OF MATA HARI Bizarre Contradictions in Character of Noted Detective Bared. By T'niteii Prrm PARIS, May 12.—Death of the most feared secret service agent in Europe. Commandant Georges Ladoux, chief of the wartime French "Deuxieme Bureau,” has been foiiow'ed by disclosures of a bizarre contradiction in the character of the sleuth who placed Mata Hari before a firing squad. A graduate of St. Cyr. later a captain in the Alpine Chasseurs, Ladoux was called in by Marshal Joffre for confidential service. He organized the French counterespionage. More professional than military, Ladoux was known personally to only a few Parisians, although his tenacity was celebrated. Os the inner circle was Mme. Marthe Richet, one of his trusted agents. Mme. Riehet, the central figure of Ladoux’s post-war memoirs, The Skylark,” has revealed two contrasting facts regarding him. one bearing on Mata Hari, the other on his domestic life. Mme. Richet relates that the Jav-

anese dancer, in 1916 performing at the Cirque Molier in Paris, was presented to Ladoux by one of his agents. Lieutenant Jean Hallaume. The seemingly mild head of the "Deuxieme Bureau” made her an offer, unaware she aiready was in German employ. When Ladoux later learned of her deception his rage was uncontrollable. "Once he had her safely in a cell at St. Lazaire prison," Mme. Richet recounts, "Ladoux washed his hands of her. He once told me, ‘She sent thousands of Frenchmen to death. I won't raise my little finger to help her now'.” He watched her die behind the Vincennes dungeon on May 26, 1918. But "The Skylark,” long siftce decorated with the Legion of Honor for her own daring services to France, also reveals the unexpected soft side of the merciless spy hunter. Os four "war orphans” Ladoux adopted, one was the small son of a German spy, a Bavarian officer, likewise executed at Vincennes. CASES CONTINUED Two Men and Woman Held as Suspects in State Robberies. Three persons, one of them a woman, believed to be members of a state-wide robbery gang, were given weeks continuances Thursday in municipal court four. Those under arrest are James Trout, 23: Eddie Überta, 27, and Zona Lock. They were arrested in the 1500 block, South Emerson avenue, by Sergeant Harry Schley and squad, the two men attempting to flee and being halted when police fired in the air.
