The excitement among the Cubans gathered upon the water front and the roofs of the houses was turned to anxiety at 10:05 o’clock, however, when the Cuban revenue cutter Haturl flash ed word by wireless that the aeroplane had not boon sighted. This report coin ing directly In the wake of the Pauld ing report that the aeroplane was pro gressing toward land caused a feeling cf fear that accident had overtaken the aviator. Queries were sent hurriedly to both the Haturl and the Paulding at 10:10 o’clock asking definite details, but It was some time before the real facta could be ascertained. Confusion of False Reports. The confusion of false reports con tinued despite the fact, especially thru the fact that McCurdy dropped Into th« water between two of the torpedo boats and It was not known deflnltely for tome time whether or not he would be able to continue the flight from the deck of the Paulding, upon which a •tartlng platform had boon constructed. Ths original plan was for McOurduy to continue the flight, arising from the deck of the Paulding If he had boon compelled to descend and hi* machine still In working order. From the time the booming of threo tons at Columbia camp had announced the start of McCurdy from Trumbo Island at Key West, the crowds kept gathering strength. “I’ll Bt Thsre In Two Hours."

Man in Case Sails From Europe For America. Washington, Jan, 30.—The Impend Ing battle over the ratification of the reciprocity treaty will be fought out In congress on sectional rather than par ty lines. This la clearly indicated In the attitude of Hrnatnr Beveridge, of Indiana, s leader In the Insurgent camp, who has come out strongly In favor of Ihe Indorsement of the treaty. Sena tor Beveridge's declaration Indicates that party and even factional linen will go to smash when the treaty cornu* before congress for ratification. The Insurgent chieftains, Cummins, of Iowa, and DaFollelte, of Wisconsin, both of whom object to many of the provisions of the treaty, will light the ratification of that Instrument. Some Faitori Some Oppose. Rome of the Insurgents of the house have flatly repudiated the proposed treaty, white Insurgents of other dele, gatlons have Indorsed It. Rome of the regular Republicans are for the treaty, others against It, and It la the same with the Democrats. Senators llko Crane, of Massachusetts, stalwart pro tectionists, and Cummins, of Iowa, and Kelson and Clapp, of Minnesota, down, ward revisionists, will be found fight ing side by side. One thing Is cer tain, the treaty has small chance of being accepted. Will Not Be Acc*pt*d. Warring Interests undoubtedly will prevent Its acceptance. If President Taft has any Intention of calling an extra session to ratify the proposed treaty between the United Htates and Canada as a final result In case the treaty Is Jockeyed out of place at the present session, he will probably make It known tonight, when lie will make cn address at the unnual dinner of th* Ohio society In this city. It Is believed that reciprocity will be the subject of President Taft’s speech. There ha* been a great deal of talk of an extra aesston If the reciprocity legislation failed at this session and It Is shown that much of this lalk was brought from the white house. That Extra 8e**ion. From all over the country the presi dent has received letter* and telegrams commending th* proposed treaty. Many leaders say frankly that they believe this treaty Is the one thing that could Induce Mr. Taft to call an extra *es- aion. While *ome declare the effect would b« to open up the whole subject of (he tariff and would therefore be bad politic*, others say It would be good politics because the Democrats would be unprepared to deal with the subject at such short notice. It can be said, however, that the president Is not considering the poli tic* of the situation. He believes that this treaty Is a big and broad national |( Hurlinfl Himself. Political gossip here Is to the effect that President Taft Is driving away from elnaielf considerable support that be would otherwise have for rcnoimna- tlnn In 1912 by Ills determined stand for Ihe ratlflcallon of this drastic treaty at the present session. How ever this aspect of the situation ap parently Is not worrying him. New York, Jan. 3<h—Despite the |>o- lice belief that Miss Dorothy Arnold, the missing daughter of Francis R. Arnold, the millionaire Importer. I* alive, John S. Keith, one of the lawyers repreientlng the family, appealed to the police today to have the hikes in Cen tral park drugged for her body. While this request was being made the report became current that Mrs. Arnold, the mother, la mysteriously missing. Miss Marjorie Arnold, a sis ter of the missing girl, denied today that there was any mystery In nci mother's absence, but sic; admitted that Mr*. Arnold Is awav and that she (Mar Jorie) did not know where she Is. There was a strong belief prevalent today that Mrs. Arnold's absence 1* In limately connected with the disappear ante of the daughter. .Some rxpr, ttsed the belief that xho Imd gone abroad. The determination to search Central park lakes followed, th* positive a? surance received fi-nmn woman that she had seen Dorothy Arnold at the Flfty-nlnth-st. entrance to the park ot 5 o'clock on the afternoon of the day she disappeared. Simultaneous with Ihe statement that the lake* will be dragged on the belief that the girl met foul plav during walk thro the park was the receipt o| cablegram from Florence, Italy, saying that George -B. Grlscom, Jr., of Pitts burg, whoss name hits been mentioned In the raee, has suited for New York. He I* accompanied by his fnlher and mother and should arrive here on next Saturday. This cabled report also said that Just prior to the leaving of the Grlscom family a young man. accom panied by a heavily veiled young wom an. held a long conference with Mr. Grlscom.

MRS. JAMES R. LITTLE. President. In an opinion handed down Monday morning In tbe United States court. Judge Newman sustained the demurrer filed by The Atlanta Journal Company, James n. Gray, editor and general man ager, and several employees of Th* Journal, which wo* returned by the United States grand Jury several days in:., ■ I .. rclnc 111 >■ rl-IVndunlK with con spiracy to defraud the government. Immediately after Judge Newman r.-.ul hi- .1* ,'1-Ion. AHKlMant Attorney General Akerman asked whether or not Hi- opinion was I on th tlon of a United States statute, and when Informed that »uah was the case, he asked permission to note excep tions, which was granted. This mean* that the case will be ap pealed to tho United States circuit court of qppsdlq Altho Mr. Akerman refus ed to bo quoted. It Is known that he Intend* to carry It up nnd have the higher court pas* upon the question. Should Judge Newman'* decision be sustained by tbe high court, the de fendant* can not be placed on trial, but should Judge Newmen bo reversed the defendants must then stand trial before a Jury. The right of th* government to ap peal In a criminal case comes under a statute making this possible when th* construction of a statute Is Involved. Investigation To Continu*. It I* by no means certain that Mr. Akerman and: hla associates have fin ished with their grand Jury investiga tions. While he will moke no state ment a* to the plan* of the govern ment, he I* not prevented from getting new grand Juries to consider the eases, and there la reason to believe the In vestigation will cortlnue. The foot thst the grand Jury Saturday failed to bring In Indictment* doea not prevent the government from asking for Indict- ■ ments from other grand Juries. Contin ued activity on the part of the trained ' Investigators who havo been at work : on these postal cases Indicates that tbe work will continue. Immediately after the decision waa announced, Mr. Akerman held a confer- ! enee with District Attorney Tate and Assistant District Attorney Henley and ' ths qUMtlon Of atM.rul was discussed. Following this conference, a copy of the decision wa* prepared for the district attorney's office. The opinion was a lengthy one, nnd In It Judge Newman reviewed th* In dictment and also the demurrer filed to It by the defendants. He also reviewed the argument* made by both sides and pointed out that th# Charge made by the government wa* one of conspiracy to defraud by a scheme which would deceive postofllee employee* and which would allow coplas of the paper tn go at the cent-a-pound rate when the*., copies were not entitled to thnt rate.
