They have followed us all over New York and to Sands Point "At every move we found detectives at our elbows. I do not know who retained them. Maybe It was Frank Gould and maybe it was Helen Gould. All I know Is that I didn't have any. thing to do with their being around and did not want them around. "Yesterday the detectives followed me from the St Regis to my home at MO Park avenue. I asked Addison Mliner to go along with the children and their governess to protect them and I also asked him to dodge the detectives. He took the children to the Gotham, where they visited their grandmother and then they were sent to the home of Helen Gould..

HOME-MADE CRAFT TO NAVIGATE AIR III TRIAL FLIGHT

William Waking and Richard Scharff Will Try Out Aeroplane of Their Own Invention This Week. CLAIM TO HAVE NEW. THEORY OF AVIATION The Inventors Hope to Make Flights at Fall Festival and at County Fairs Trial Will be Secret Affair. An irresistible desire, with which the souls of William Waking, a well known plumber, and Richard Scharff, an employe of the Starr Piano company, have long been fraught may have Its accomplishment one day this week, when they will try out a bi plane of their own model. The two are keeping their plans a secret and exactly when and where they will make their trial flight they have not seen fit to divulge. However Waking announced today that the machine has been completed and the amateur aviators are only awaiting a favorable opportunity to test it It is now in a loft of a barn on South Second street but will be moved to the country for the flight within a day or two. Theoretically the machine, which is not a balloon looks to the Inventors to be perfect and they expect the practicability of it to be proven In their flight No power apparatus will be attached until after the first experiment It this Is successful, then the engine and propellers will be attached and frequent flights made. Both, are waiting with feverish anxiety to become classed with the bird men, and should their efforts meet with success they will make exhibition flights at the Fall Festival In October and also at county fairs. "" Ruii Off a High' Bank. , In their trial flight this week the machine will be started from a monorail and run off a high bank. Just which one will make the first glide has not. been determined but if the one who tries Is successful, the machine will be turned over that the other may glide, too. 'The distance of their first flight will not be great as the two men will not endanger their lives by selecting a bluff so high that a fall would injure them. Each plane of the heavier-than-air craft is about twenty feet long and ten feet wide. The operator is seated In the center of the lower plane. The planes are of the strongest construction, yet of the lightest material. Well seasoned spruce lumber, secured direct from Vermont will form the frail frame work to which Is attached the muslin of the planes. Confident of Success. The men have supreme confidence In their success and while there has been a good deal of "joshing from their friends, they anticipate turning the jokes in the other direction. Waking stated last evening that he had no fears of an accident and the only precautions will be In not making the glide from too great a height Although friends have pleaded with him to allow them to watch the performance, he said 'that he preferred the first trip should be a secret ADMINISTRATOR IS NAMED.

COMPLAINTS Of VICIOUS DOGS Chief of Police Gormon Favors More Stringent. Regulation. PEDESTRIANS ARE BITTEN POND MAY BE ESTABLISHED AND A DOG-CATCHER HIRED TO RID THE STREET3 OF UNKEPT AN6 OWNERLESS CANINES. Dogs running loose on the , streets are causing so many complaints and becoming so dangerous to the public that I. A. Gormon, superintendent of police has come out in favor of the establishment of a dog pound in Richmond. During the past few days many people have been bitten by dogs and several have been made seriously ill. This moVning Patrolman Westenberg shot a small brown cur on North Sixth street that had taken a bite out of Thomas Garnett's leg. The bite was a deep one and Garnett was much alarmed when he reportetd it at police headquarters. Mr. ' Gormon said similar complaints were coming in every day. "Council- should pass an ordinance establishing & dog .pound, said the chief, "and should provide that dogs be not allowed to run loose on the streets. Some of their friends probably have pet dogs though, and they are afraid to pass the ordinance. . Mr. Gormon continued that it would be an inexpensive project The only cost would be for a horse and wagon and & dog catcher. The animals might be disposed of at the crematory. The police say also that there are many complaints of dogs running out from yards and barking at passersby and in many instances they sleep on the streets. In cities where a pound is kept the police say there are few complaints of dogs biting people. Especially is this true at Indianapolis where few dogs are running at large. There has also beenmuch trouble reported from this source in the country and several dairy cows have been bitten and afterwards found suffering from hydrophobia. The police and the health, department think the matter will come up before council in a few weeks.
